My Virtual Immortal Girlfriend Came to Life from a Mobile Game

```

"No way, buddy.

Are we done pretending?

Not even trying to cover it up anymore!?"

"I know you can hear me! From now on, stop controlling my phone and quit invading my privacy, or I'll take you to court!"

Chen Huaian's tone was serious, and he was fuming with anger.

[Due to the high risk of the Meridian Opening Needle Technique, applying it to a suitable target will greatly increase your proficiency.]

[This application can gain 20% proficiency and reduce the chance of crippling by 20%.]

[The Meridian Opening Needle Technique is powerful and can assist your virtual girlfriend in accelerating her cultivation, as well as stabilize a cultivator's foundation.]

Chen Huaian frowned as he read the three game notifications.

He calmed down and his gaze unconsciously fell on his right leg.

It seemed... not impossible~

After all, his right leg was already crippled, so what difference would it make if it got worse?

Besides, this was just a game item! It said it would cripple him? Nonsense!

[What's this kid up to now?]

The black cat crawled out of the box, jumped onto the sofa, and watched Chen Huaian, who was constantly tapping on his phone. It needed to stay close to Chen Huaian to absorb the spiritual energy emitted by the spirit stones, but it didn't dare get too close, fearing the Ancestral Dragon's presence on Chen Huaian.

[Staring at that black box all day... Wait, is it possible that all the good stuff on this kid comes from that black box?]

The black cat cautiously moved a bit closer, but could only see a pitch-black phone screen, growing more suspicious by the moment.

[If my theory is correct, then as long as I get my paws on that black box, all his opportunities will be mine!]

Perhaps the reason this human could receive the Ancestral Dragon's protection was closely related to this black box.

Because it didn't see anything particularly special about Chen Huaian.

The black cat moved a bit closer again, one eye on the phone, the other watching Chen Huaian's back.

Suddenly, Chen Huaian picked up the set of silver needles beside him.

The black cat was momentarily stunned, thinking Chen Huaian had finally decided to do it a favor and give it a needle treatment.

The next second, it saw Chen Huaian fiercely stab the silver needle into his own right leg.

The black cat: "???"

"Aaahhh—!" The piercing scream echoed throughout the entire hotel.

Fortunately, it was already noon; if it had been morning, other guests would definitely have come knocking.

"Oh my God, it hurts so much?" Chen Huaian glanced at the spot where he had stabbed himself, and the skin there was already purple.

But soon he realized something was off.

The place he had stabbed had been completely numb before!

Now he could actually feel such intense pain, didn't that mean the silver needle was having an effect?

It's just a bit of pain, does Chen Huaian fear pain?

After another dozen or so needles, the black cat, seeing Chen Huaian engrossed in self-harm, crouched down and arched its back, ready to snatch the phone.

As the last needle went in, the black cat let out a "meow" and pounced towards the phone beside Chen Huaian's leg.

However, the leg that had been broken suddenly sprang up as the needle went in, moving as fast as lightning, delivering a violent knee strike to the black cat.

"Meow?!"

Bang—!

The black cat traced a parabolic arc in the air and landed back in the shoebox, the lid closing with it.

"Wow! Although it hurts, I can feel it now!" Chen Huaian touched his right leg, his face full of surprise.

The effect of the Meridian Opening Needle Technique was to clear the meridians and circulate the blood.

His leg was numb mainly due to a fracture and tumor compression, and using the Meridian Opening Needle Technique was just the right treatment. It might also be a case of fighting poison with poison, and luck had brought about the effect.

"Speaking of which, it seemed like my knee hit something just now?"

Chen Huaian scratched his head and looked around.

His focus had been entirely on the acupoints, paying no attention to his surroundings.

"Forget it, maybe it was just my imagination."

...

Azure Cloud Realm.

Since obtaining a Superior Grade Dantian, Li Qingran's cultivation speed could only be described as advancing by leaps and bounds. Last night she broke through to the eighth level of Qi Refining, and this afternoon she was already heading towards the Great Perfection of Qi Refining. This was thanks to the Superior Grade Dantian, as well as her lack of a spiritual root. At this moment, the five elements of spiritual energy were quietly residing in her dantian, looking quite impressive in quantity.

Cultivators with spiritual roots can convert all the spiritual energy they absorb from the world into the spiritual energy corresponding to their spiritual root's attribute.

For example, a cultivator with a Fire Spiritual Root can convert all five elements of spiritual energy into pure fire spiritual energy.

The attribute of spiritual energy can only exert its greatest power when it matches the spiritual root. If the spiritual root and the spiritual energy used are in conflict, it can lead to chaotic spiritual energy and danger; some techniques and inner strength mental techniques also require the cultivator's spiritual root to match; when cultivators pass on energy to each other, they must choose someone with a similar spiritual root, meaning they must have at least one similar spiritual root to achieve spiritual energy fusion.

Thus, in the cultivation world, a single spiritual root is considered the best talent, with mutated spiritual roots being even better, while five-element spiritual roots and no spiritual root are considered the worst talents.

Those with five-element spiritual roots cultivate extremely slowly, often unable to break through the Qi Refining stage in their lifetime. Those without spiritual roots, although they cultivate quickly, have poor quality spiritual energy and find it difficult to break through bottlenecks, and their spells are much weaker than those of other cultivators.

Li Qingran initially thought she could not break through to the Foundation Establishment stage without a spiritual root.

That bottleneck was like a dam blocking a river, and breaking through it required not only sufficient quantity but also a powerful impact.

Her chaotic spiritual energy was clearly insufficient for the impact.

But as she approached the Foundation Establishment stage, she discovered that the Superior Grade Dantian provided her with purer spiritual energy and a much larger quantity than before!

"The Superior Grade Dantian bestowed by the senior is truly amazing."

Li Qingran looked inward at her dantian, her heart filled with immense shock.

Before her cultivation was crippled, she was at the small success stage of Foundation Establishment, but now the amount of spiritual energy in her dantian was already two to three times what it was at her peak! If she still had a spiritual root and smoothly broke through to the Foundation Establishment stage, wouldn't she have the equivalent spiritual energy of five or more ordinary Foundation Establishment cultivators?!

"So what if I have no spiritual root? With the senior's help, I can still continue on this path..."

The five elements of spiritual energy within her began to boil under Li Qingran's control, gathering towards the 'dam' of the Foundation Establishment stage.

She was preparing to break through to the Foundation Establishment stage!

However, just then, a sharp pain erupted in her mind.

Endless darkness swallowed Li Qingran whole.

In a daze, she saw an old man in green robes standing before her—it was Daoist Qingxuan, her former master.

"Li Qingran! You harmed your fellow disciple, which is unjust!"

"You practice our sect's martial arts but lack diligence, trampling on your master's teachings, which is unfilial!"

"I sent you to the Outer Sect, yet you bullied the Outer Sect disciples, which is unkind!"

"You hold the inner strength mental technique of the Crimson Cloud Art, yet you consider switching allegiances and taking another master, which is disloyal!"

Her Dao Heart was clouded, and inner demons grew.

The smiling mask couldn't hide the hideous scars.

The suffering of the past wasn't something that could be easily covered up.

Daoist Qingxuan's words echoed like a great bell in Li Qingran's mind, scattering the tide of spiritual energy that was about to break through the bottleneck.

First Senior Brother Lu Changtian's figure appeared beside Daoist Qingxuan, a cold smile on his lips:

"Li Qingran, someone like you who is disloyal, unfilial, unkind, and unjust, still dreams of breaking through to the Foundation Establishment stage? How pathetic and laughable!"

"Li Qingran, you actually hurt Sixth Junior Sister, I really misjudged you." Third Senior Brother Yun Zimo looked at her with disgust.

"Li Qingran, give back the pills and spiritual herbs I gave you, do you deserve them?" Second Senior Brother Xiao Yifeng's face was twisted with rage.

Fourth Senior Brother Zhang Hanxiao stepped forward with his sword, his gaze fierce: "If you break through to the Foundation Establishment stage, I will personally cleanse the sect and make you disappear from this world!"

"No, it's not true, I didn't intentionally hurt Sixth Junior Sister, I didn't slack off in my cultivation, I never bullied the Outer Sect disciples, I didn't..." Li Qingran held her head, cowering in the cold darkness. She wanted to defend herself, but countless black hands reached out from the darkness to cover her mouth.

No one believed her words, no one listened to her seriously.

Just like the day of the sect competition when Sixth Junior Sister was injured, and she was struck off the stage by an enraged Lu Changtian. Her defense was weak, her tears seen as deceit and manipulation. Yet she was the one coughing up blood, lying in the dust, while Mu Baishuang only had a cut on her shoulder.

Wasn't Li Qingran also Lu Changtian's junior sister?

Wasn't she also the Sixth Junior Sister of Crimson Sky Peak?

Wasn't she also a disciple of Daoist Qingxuan?!

The onlooking fellow disciples appeared again, emerging in the darkness, gathering around the people of Crimson Sky Peak. She could only watch their disgust and hostility, their pointing fingers; she could only hear the curses and mockery.@@novelbin@@

"She's the one who intentionally hurt Sixth Junior Sister? What a scumbag!"

"How could Crimson Sky Peak have such a malicious disciple?"

"Probably jealous of how pretty Mu Baishuang is, hahaha..."

"To think Senior Brother Lu, such a nice person, used to take care of her..."

"Such a person deserves to die, should be kicked out of the sect to feed the demonic beasts of Evergreen Mountain!"

"Get out of Azure Cloud Sect! Get out of Azure Cloud Sect!!"

...

Sixth Junior Sister Mu Baishuang hid behind everyone, nestled beside Lu Changtian.

Support us at .

She stood in the light, shielded by everyone, like a little flower being protected.

She smiled at the tearful Li Qingran, her lips moving slightly.

But only Li Qingran, deep in the darkness, could hear her voice:

"Sister Qingran... disappear."

"Someone like you doesn't deserve to live."
