Transmigration and Self-Saving Cultivation

Chapter 131: Preparations for the Plan.

The world of cultivation is like an ever-changing scroll painting. Having just experienced a tumultuous battle, it is now shrouded in mystery and urgency by new challenges. Jun Luochuan and Su Yao stood quietly in the tranquil courtyard. A gentle breeze, like a soft messenger, caressed them, bringing a touch of coolness and stirring their clothes and hair.

Jun Luochuan stood tall and straight like a pine tree, his arms crossed over his chest, resembling a majestic mountain peak, resolute and unshakeable. His deep and bright eyes, as bright as stars, were focused and determined on the distance, his mind like a surging sea, racking his brains to devise a meticulous plan to counterattack the jealous villain.

Su Yao skipped and hopped around like a cheerful little bird, sometimes gently touching the delicate, vibrant flowers, which trembled slightly under her touch as if playing with her; other times playfully teasing the chirping birds on the branches, making them chirp incessantly. Her lively and agile appearance, like the most joyful and vibrant sprite of spring, added a touch of liveliness and energy to the slightly serious atmosphere.

Suddenly, she turned her head sharply, her large, clear eyes blinking like stars twinkling in the night sky.

"Jun Luochuan, you've been thinking for so long, do you have any ideas yet?" Su Yao's voice was clear and melodious, like a clear spring flowing in the mountains, hitting the rocks and making a beautiful tinkling sound.

Jun Luochuan tilted his head slightly, glanced at her, and snorted softly. His voice was like a cold winter wind, carrying a hint of chill: "Little girl, don't be in such a hurry. This ingenious plan is not like the fruit on the tree, which you can easily pick."

Su Yao pouted in dissatisfaction, her pink lips curling up so high they looked like they could hold a small oil lamp: "Hmph, you're just keeping me in suspense. I'm still waiting to show off my skills in this big battle!"

Jun Luochuan frowned slightly, his brows like two tightly locked city gates, lost in deep thought. He knew very well that the opponent he was facing this time was a jealous villain. Such a person's mind was as narrow as a canyon, and his methods were as ruthless and vicious as thorny brambles. He had to rack his brains to come up with a flawless and comprehensive plan in order to have a sure chance of defeating him completely.

"First, we must be like a keen hunter, searching for the enemy's weaknesses." Jun Luochuan spoke slowly, his voice deep and magnetic, like the resounding toll of a bell, echoing in the air with a convincing power.

Su Yao quickly leaned closer, tilting her head, looking incredibly cute, like a curious kitten: "Then how can we find out his weaknesses like we've discovered a treasure?"

Jun Luochuan's lips curled up into a confident smile, a smile as warm as the winter sun, instantly dispelling the surrounding gloom: "This will depend on our meticulous intelligence gathering, as thorough as a spider weaving a web."

So, like two brave explorers, the two began searching for the precious clue. They arrived at a bustling market, where crowds thronged, shoulder to shoulder, and all sorts of sounds mingled together, like a chaotic yet vibrant symphony.

Su Yao looked around curiously, her eyes like two sparkling gems. Suddenly, her gaze was drawn to a stall selling candied hawthorns, and her eyes widened as if she had been frozen in place.

"Jun Luochuan, I want to eat candied hawthorns." Su Yao tugged at Jun Luochuan's clothes and pleaded, her voice as sweet as honey, making it impossible for anyone to refuse.

Jun Luochuan shook his head helplessly, the movement like a gentle breeze: "Let's take care of business first. Once we've dealt with the enemy, we can have as many candied hawthorns as we want."

Su Yao pouted reluctantly, like a wronged child, and followed him forward.

Just then, a mysterious old man appeared before them like a ghost. The old man wore a black robe that seemed to devour the surrounding light, making him appear unfathomable. His eyes were as deep as endless black holes, as if they could suck in one's soul.

"Young people, I see you like lost lambs in this vast sea of ​​people, searching for something. Perhaps my old bones can be of some help." The old man's voice was hoarse and mysterious, as if it came from a distant ancient time, carrying the vicissitudes of time.

Jun Luochuan looked at him warily, his gaze like two sharp swords, trying to pierce the old man's heart: "How did you know we were looking for something? Do you have the ability to predict the future?"

The old man smiled slightly, a smile as enigmatic as the Mona Lisa's: "Nothing in the cultivation world can escape my eyes."

Su Yao blinked, her eyes filled with anticipation and curiosity, like two bright stars: "Can you really help us?"

The old man stroked his snow-white beard and nodded slightly: "But you have to agree to one condition."

Jun Luochuan frowned, his brows instantly forming a large "川" (Chuan) shape: "What are your conditions? Tell me quickly. As long as they're not too outrageous, we can consider them."

The old man smiled, a smile that seemed to hold countless secrets, and began to recount what he knew about the jealous villain. It turned out that this villain had once endured a nightmarish, untold painful experience, an experience that, like a merciless carving knife, etched indelible scars deep within his heart, causing his mind to become extremely twisted, like a withered tree ravaged by a storm.

After listening to the old man's words, Jun Luochuan and Su Yao felt as if a light had been lit in their hearts, and some faint clues began to emerge.

They continued on their journey and arrived at an ancient library, seemingly forgotten by time itself. A thick, oppressive atmosphere permeated the library, like a heavy fog. The bookshelves were filled with all sorts of ancient books, like slumbering behemoths waiting to be awakened.

Su Yao couldn't help but sneeze, the sound of which was particularly loud in the quiet library: "It's so stuffy in here, it feels like I'm in a big, stuffy can."

Jun Luochuan, however, remained completely unaffected. His gaze was like that of a hungry wolf, diligently searching for any potentially useful information, leaving no corner unchecked.

After much arduous effort, they finally found an ancient book covered in dust, seemingly sealed away by the ages. The book contained a mysterious and powerful spell that might play a crucial role in the upcoming battle, like a beacon in the darkness, guiding them forward.

Leaving the library, they encountered another henchman of a jealous villain. Su Yao's eyes darted around, her bright pupils spinning like two rapidly moving beads, and a plan formed in her mind.

She put on a pitiful look, like an injured little rabbit, making people feel sorry for her: "Big brother, my brother and I are lost. Can you please have some compassion and help us?"

The subordinate glanced at them, and a malicious thought suddenly arose in his mind, a thought that flashed through his eyes like a venomous snake.

"Come with me," the subordinate said, his voice laced with ill intent.

Su Yao secretly gave Jun Luochuan a wink, a wink that was like a lightning bolt, instantly conveying the tacit understanding between them.

Jun Luochuan understood immediately and quietly followed behind, like an assassin hidden in the shadows, waiting for the perfect opportunity.

Once they reached a secluded spot, Jun Luochuan struck like a cheetah, his speed so fast it was almost blinding, instantly subduing the subordinate. Then, with his imposing gaze and cold tone, he extracted crucial information from him.

As clues accumulated like pieces of a jigsaw puzzle, Jun Luochuan's plan gradually became clearer, like a blurry painting slowly revealing its full picture.

Back at his residence, Jun Luochuan began to write furiously on paper, formulating a detailed plan. His strokes were like a conductor's baton, each stroke filled with power and determination.

Su Yao watched intently from the side, occasionally offering her own naive yet unique ideas like a curious child.

"Jun Luochuan, can we set up more traps so that he can't escape, like he's fallen into a maze?" Su Yao said excitedly, her voice full of anticipation and longing.

Jun Luochuan shook his head, his movement firm and decisive: "No, too many traps are easy to discover, and it would be like startling a bird into flight, alerting the enemy."

Su Yao pouted, her lips pursed high: "Alright then, I'll listen to you. You must have a better idea."

Jun Luochuan scribbled and drew on the paper, and a perfect plan gradually took shape, just like an exquisite sculpture gradually revealing its charm and style in the hands of an artist.

"We need to lure him in first, and then..." Jun Luochuan explained each step of the plan to Su Yao in detail, his voice deep and clear, as if he were telling a captivating story.

Su Yao listened intently, nodding from time to time, looking just like a student attentively listening to a lecture, afraid of missing any important details.

However, just as they were full of confidence and ready to make their plans, an unexpected event occurred like a bolt from the blue.

The jealous villain seemed to sense something unusual and, like a wary wolf, increased his defenses.

Jun Luochuan snorted coldly, his voice filled with disdain and anger: "This guy is quite wary, but that won't stop us."

Su Yao was getting anxious, her worried expression like that of an ant on a hot pan: "What should we do? Aren't we going to ruin our plans?"

Jun Luochuan pondered for a moment, the brief silence like the calm before a storm: "Don't panic, we'll adapt and change our strategy."

They readjusted their plan, adding some clever tricks to confuse the enemy, like weaving an invisible net for them.

To ensure the plan would go perfectly, Jun Luochuan personally trained Su Yao in some special spells and techniques.

"Su Yao, this spell should be cast like this." Jun Luochuan patiently instructed, his tone like that of a strict yet kind teacher.

Su Yao studied diligently, her forehead soaked with sweat, the beads of sweat rolling down like pearls from a broken string.

After several days of intensive preparations, everything is finally ready, like a grand performance about to begin.

Jun Luochuan and Su Yao stood on the mountaintop, gazing at the rolling mountains and the boundless sky in the distance.

"Su Yao, success or failure hinges on this moment. We must show the enemy our strength," Jun Luochuan said, his voice firm and powerful, seemingly able to pierce the clouds.

Su Yao replied firmly, "Don't worry, we will definitely succeed and show them what we're made of!"

The wind whistled past their ears, its sound like the beating of war drums, as if cheering them on and encouraging them to forge ahead.
