Luo Qingyi, a disciple of an immortal sect, accidentally enters an ancient secret realm once occupied by evil cultivators and is forcibly made to learn a dual-cultivation technique. She will die if she doesn't practice it.
After studying it carefully, she realizes things aren't so bad. Something from ten million years ago can't keep up with the times.
The Blazing Sun Sect's Flame Stones can easily replace that so-called pure yang energy. As for those embarrassing positions required for cultivation, she can have a lifelike mechanical puppet custom-made.
She secretly places an order with the Treasure Pavilion and waits for the delivery. When the mechanical puppet arrives at her cave dwelling, Luo Qingyi opens the package and sees what it is. Her brows shoot up. "Pah! It's the same model as the Demon Lord!"
Luo Qingyi: "The instructions say the Flame Stone can be used seven times in one night."
The injured Demon Lord, hiding nearby, grits his teeth. "I can do it!"
Master, I risked my life to gather a heart lotus to save yours. I was just being foolishly sentimental. You can punish me however you like.
Senior Brother was injured saving me. Please stop punishing him.
In your eyes, is saving me really such a heinous crime?
Fine. I'll go into seclusion.
A thousand years later, she emerges, her heart empty.
And the aloof Immortal Venerable, high above all others, has long since fallen to demonic cultivation.
