Modern Cultivation : The Strongest Couple Bonded by Vampire System

Alex laughed. "Not in that way, Prof. Faerith. I wanted to hire you, and the contract would be for a lifetime.

I also wanted you to keep everything that happened today a secret.

With what I knew, I was sure your investors were giving you a hard time, right? Since the blood didn't give you any results, they shouldn't be suspicious of your sudden move.

Also, look for a few more items to research so they don't think I'm hiring you because you made a breakthrough in blood research."

He then stood up and started walking toward the door.

"I would give you a week. Call me after that. I would prepare the research complex and the contract at that time." After that, he left Faerith alone.

Faerith's eyes widened in surprise, and she wasn't even able to utter a word before she finally returned to reality.

"Rich kids are really different. He wants to build an entire research facility just to hide information about the blood.

Well, that's good news for me anyway. I can keep studying him and see what changes he got from consuming the blood."

If Alex had heard this, he would have smirked with pride.

As someone with the nickname 'Whale God,' of course, he would 'whale' if he could.

He also had a feeling he could do the same with cultivation.

Alex had a few reasons for building the research complex.

Firstly, he used Prof. Faerith's name to take credit for any secret arts and cultivation methods he would publish after he got them from Mingyue.

Next, this would also make his mother happy.

Not only was he working, but he was also starting to build his own business.

And finally, to track the change in his own body. He needed to make sure there were no bad effects from the transformation.

For example, an old soul was taking over his body.

'I'm sure Mom will be surprised. She will probably keep an eye on me at first to make sure I'm really serious.'

Alex chuckled to himself as he made his way to the car, waiting for him outside.

'I also need to create my own hunter guild. Who would be a good candidate to front it?' he wondered.

In his world, 'hunters' were what people called Awakeners who earned their living by diving into dungeons.

There were a few classes of hunters, not separated by strength but by achievement, starting from one-star to the most elite five-star.

As Alex was busy planning to expand his family empire and get his mom off his back, Mingyue was facing problems in her own world.

Even though she also came from a wealthy family, being a woman in the cultivation world brought many challenges.

She was now standing in a field with blood dripping from her sword.

Five mutilated bodies were scattered around her.

Her eyebrows raised as her eyes looked coldly at the remains.

When Vesa had sent her back to the Cultivation world, Mingyue found herself lying in a forest.

She swiftly changed into a new robe.

Not long after she finished, a few people wearing robes with her family crest approached her, all with worried expressions and asking about her condition.

But their arrival surprised Mingyue. She was still alive, and barely any time had passed; there was no way her family knew she was in danger.

She thought it was people sent by Lian Hua who were coming to look for her.

Her suspicion became more solid when the system informed her that all of them had bad intentions.

But Mingyue still couldn't believe it.

How could her family attack her when she was the only prodigy in her family, the one they hoped would bring the Xueqi Family to new heights?

So, she feigned fake injury and qi exhaustion.

Seeing Mingyue's weak state, they didn't miss the opportunity and attacked at once.

Overwhelmed by anger at their attack, Mingyue brutally killed them all, not letting anyone escape.

This made her regret her actions, as she couldn't find out who sent them.

"Tch, I will learn soul cultivation the next chance I get," Mingyue cursed.

If she had soul cultivation, Mingyue could have taken their souls and read parts of their memories.

Her amber eyes then glowed red, turning the blood and bodies into particles that moved into her body.

[215 Life Force Absorbed]

[Life Force already full, converting the surplus to boost Queen's Cultivation]

[Jade Lotus Spiritual Vein and Ice Kirin Bloodline have been absorbed with the Progenitor Blood, as they are deemed inferior.]

Mingyue could feel her body reinvigorated as pure qi coursed through her body to her dan tian.

A sphere started forming inside it, quickly raising her cultivation.

Life Force: 150/150

Cultivation Level: Core Formation Stage - Mid-Level

_____________________________

Before drinking the Progenitor Blood, Mingyue was already at the Foundation Stage - the Late Level.

Now, with the leftover energy from the blood and the remaining life force she absorbed, Mingyue easily made a breakthrough, advancing one major realm directly into the mid-level.

'I lost my spiritual root and bloodline, but it's worth it. They are nothing compared to the Progenitor Bloodline.'

'Just how strong was the past progenitor?' Mingyue thought for a moment, but she quickly dismissed these thoughts as she focused on more pressing matters.

'Should I return home first to check or go to the sect to report Lian Hua?' Mingyue felt worried.

Even though Vesa had already warned her, she still found it hard to believe.

Mingyue has always fulfilled their expectations and wishes, except for the last time when the family patriarch suddenly told her to be betrothed to another clan.

She quickly rejected it, and in the end, they compromised on her reaching the Golden Core Stage within ten years.

But now, only two years had passed.

She was sure something had happened to her parents. Otherwise, no way people from her family would come and attack her like that.

Even though they were not the patriarch, they still had some authority and power in the family.
