The fairies I flirted with in the game became real?!

The atmosphere inside the Futu Tower was somewhat tense.

Li Muyang coldly eyed the scruffy Taoist priest before him, a caution arising in his heart.

But the Sloppy Taoist, Dong Xuanzi, let out a hearty laugh and said, “Young fellow, there’s no need to be so guarded against me. I was just passing by and became curious when I saw you entering the tower, so I followed.”

“This Futu Tower, it is said to have been cast from ancient bronze and constructed in one with Fuyun City—mystical and unfathomable.”

“The Hidden Immortal Alliance once sought to build its gate by relying on this tower. However, legends in the Cultivation World suggest that spending too much time within the Futu Tower or even within a mile radius of it will result in bizarre nightmares.”

“Those nightmarish dreams are strange and terrifying, greatly affecting the cultivator’s state of mind and thus, hindering their cultivation.”

“Even some who stayed near the Futu Tower often claimed that during the night, they would hear mournful cries of killings, piercing screams, and wailings that were utterly chilling.”

“Over time, this Futu Tower has become a forbidden area within Fuyun City, with almost no cultivators willing to approach it.”

Dong Xuanzi, the Sloppy Taoist, chuckled while talking about the eerie secrets of the Futu Tower.

Then, turning the conversation, he said to Li Muyang, “Young friend, you seem fresh-faced. With such a young age and remarkable cultivation, could it be you’ve possessed a new body?”

Dong Xuanzi giggled and said, “It just so happens that this old Taoist has a family heirloom Immortal Elixir that can nourish the Divine Soul and greatly benefit its cultivation.”

“If young friend takes it, it will surely repair the severely damaged Divine Soul, preventing it from scattering within just a few short years.”

After Dong Xuanzi finished speaking with a chuckling tone, Li Muyang was left speechless.

This liar… where in the world does such a divine medicine exist?

Nourishing the Divine Soul, extending the life of body snatchers…if there was such a powerful Immortal Elixir, it would have already been widespread in the Cultivation World.

Every Cultivator reaching the limit of their life span would be desperately chasing after such an Immortal Elixir.

Dong Xuanzi, this old swindler, probably set his sights on passing by and wanted to con him?

After all, to outsiders, Li Muyang is a walking corpse, having taken over another’s body and thus, living on borrowed time.

And people nearing death are prone to clutch at straws, making them easy targets for scams with high success rates.

Although Li Muyang guessed the reason for the old Taoist’s appearance, he did not relax his vigilance.

He frowned as he watched the old Taoist and said, “So, you want to sell this Immortal Elixir to me?”

The old Taoist shook his head and replied, “No, no, no, it’s not for sale, but as a gift.”

“For some reason, upon first seeing young friend, I felt a connection with you.”

“Therefore, I’ve decided to bestow young friend with an Immortal Elixir to establish a good relationship…”

The old Taoist offered a sincere smile and handed over a small wooden chest.

Li Muyang did not accept it and instead said coldly, “Just speak plainly about your intention. I am very busy and have no time to beat around the bush with you.”

Seeing that Li Muyang was unmoved, the old Taoist did not get angry.

He gracefully put away the wooden chest, the smile still on his face: “Since young friend is straightforward, then I won’t beat around the bush.”

“Actually, the reason I’ve approached you is indeed to request a favor.”

“When I was passing by just now, I inadvertently observed that young friend’s Escape Technique was powerful and mysterious, far from ordinary.”

“It just so happens that I’m about to make a big deal! I am in need of a powerful Cultivator who excels at the Concealing Technique.”

“Having encountered young friend, I came to invite you specially. If we succeed, fame and fortune are guaranteed!”

The old Taoist spoke earnestly.

Li Muyang gave him a skeptical look: “What big deal?”

The old Taoist carefully checked his surroundings and, after ensuring that no one was eavesdropping, he leaned in close to Li Muyang and mysteriously said.

“I received reliable information that the Corpse Refining powerhouse Li Muyang, who fled from the Refinement Demon Sect, has already arrived in Fuyun City and is now hiding within the city!”

“You must be aware of this person, he possesses the Ancient Immortal Sword, the Nether Demon Manual that the Law Enforcement Elder Yan Xiaoru of the Refinement Demon Sect cultivated, and his mysterious Corpse Refining Technique that can even refine the bodies of Ancient True Immortals!”

“If we find this person and kill him, we could stealthily seize all his possessions!”

The old Taoist’s eyes shone with passion as he spoke: “Luckily, I have managed to find some clues about this person, and I’m currently lacking able hands to help. Young friend, if you’re willing, you can join the hunt, and when we reap the rewards, we will share them with you!”

The words of the old Taoist left Li Muyang taken aback.

He was then somewhat speechless, and also somewhat caught between laughter and tears.

This dead swindler, strutting and bluffing his way to him.

However, his deceit was indeed masterful, one ruse leading to another, changing tactics if one failed, using all sorts of interests to entice the human heart.

No wonder that ninth princess of the Hidden Moon Dynasty fell for his scam.

Had it not been for the fact that he was Li Muyang himself, perhaps he might truly have been tempted.

After pondering with a frown for a few seconds, Li Muyang shook his head and said, “This matter is of great consequence, let me think it over, and I’ll give you a response next time.”

Having said that, he didn’t wait for the old Taoist’s attempt to retain him and directly walked out of Futu Tower, rapidly disappearing into the shadows.

Leaving only the regretful old Taoist outside the tower, shaking his head.

“…It’s rare for the old Taoist not to deceive others for once, why won’t anyone believe him?”

Not long after, the sloppy old Taoist also left, feeling bored.

Outside the Futu Tower, it became quiet once more.

Soon after, a shadow quietly approached and disappeared inside the Futu Tower.

The previously departed Li Muyang had returned.

By now, he had learned of the sinister peculiarities of the Futu Tower.

The old Taoist’s words, instead, gave him some inspiration.

Staying long in this Futu Tower leads to nightmares?

What kind of nightmares that not even cultivators can bear?

He went straight up, silently reaching the ninth floor of the Futu Tower and once again set up warning webs inside and outside the tower.

And this time, he laid them out even more meticulously, not allowing any chance for others to sneak in again.

After doing all this, Li Muyang sat cross-legged inside the Futu Tower, quietly waiting.

During the waiting process, instead of wasting time in the “Land of Curse,” he checked on the condensation progress of the prop “Four Good Roots.”

This special prop given to him by the Earth Spirit Buddha Bead could bring forth the new game “Devil Heart Buddha.”

But to Li Muyang’s surprise, condensing these Four Good Roots given by the Earth Spirit Buddha Ancestor proved extremely difficult.

So far it had only reached 53% condensation.

And this progress bar would occasionally bounce back and suffer occasional setbacks in the loading process.

It felt as if the “Four Good Roots” were resisting the system’s condensation process.

——This was the first time Li Muyang had encountered an object that could resist the system’s condensation.

The once Startling Swan Immortal Sword, an Ancient Immortal Instrument, had been easily condensed.

Now, the system was having such a hard time with a mere Four Good Roots… Could it be that this item possesses some special mighty power?

After observing the condensation progress of the Four Good Roots, Li Muyang entered the game and arrived at the mini-game “Slayer of Gods Simulator,” challenging divine beings.

He kept fighting against the divine beings, and had gradually become familiar with the abilities of the common mode divine beings, starting to handle them with ease.

During such battles, time unknowingly passed.

In a daze, Li Muyang suddenly felt that he had arrived at a mysterious, dark, and dense forest, everything around him was utterly unfamiliar.

While puzzled, a piercing and fierce battle cry suddenly came from the depths of the dense forest.

Following that, a dark tide of people surged out and in the blink of an eye engulfed Li Muyang in the forest.

Caught off guard, Li Muyang tried to dodge but it was in vain.

All around him were piercing screams and wails of agony.

A headless divine being’s body, howling, raced through the forest, and with one footstep shattered Li Muyang’s head…
