BTTH: Template System

The news of the Jie Lan Clan's destruction spread through Wu Tan City like wildfire. Especially the tales told by the survivors, the battlefield, and the last night is a destructive show of power. It wouldn't be wrong if someone said this might be the darkest moment of Wu Tan City during the last ten years after the appearance of the powerful cultivator of mysterious origin is both the target of curiosity and fear.

Since this mysterious cultivator could destroy one of the three great clans of Wu Tan City overnight who knows what he could do next? The remaining two clans of the Xiao Clan and Ao Ba Clan also suddenly declared their alliance as if they didn't do it now they wouldn't be able to see tomorrow.

United by the same goal and fear of the same enemy, their bond grows stronger almost scarily fast. While this was happening, Liu Xi, the Tier 1 Alchemist with whom Jia Lie Bi was preparing to make contact, quickly escaped from the city.

As someone who witnessed the horror of that night in person, he was now truly afraid of remaining in Tan City. And his fleeing direction was, of course, to his master Xuan Wu, the Tier 3 Alchemist.

The carriage that Liu Xi was in finally arrived at Da Ling City, where his master was located. The moment he entered the city, his carriage was stopped by a group of people, and of course,e, they didn't have any malicious intentions.

Liu Xi quickly jumped out of the carriage and ran toward his master, who accepted him with open arms. "My dear disciple Xi'er! I heard what's happened at Wu Tan City. Are you scared?"

"Master Xuan! The outside world is such a dangerous place ruled by the brutes!" Their reunion almost looked heartwarming. If you didn't know how disgusting these two were, you would have thought they were simply loving master and disciples.

On the top of the sky, hidden from everyone's view, Xiao Ming was standing looking down at everything that was happening. 'How disgusting.'

His Six Eyes could easily see through the interior of the carriage of Liu Xi's master come out from. Inside it, a girl was lying unconscious inside her Dou Qi that didn't belong to the rampages inside her.

He doesn't need to even bother to think about what happened to her. He didn't bother to hide the visible disgust on his face; he looked at the shop list on the system window, wondering if he should buy one of the templates early so he could kill them slowly and painfully.

When the day comes to an end, the darkness of the night falls on the world; under the dimly lit room, Liu Xi lays on a bed surrounded by young girls. None of them had a willing look on their face, which made Liu Xi's experience more pleasurable than anything else.

"This is the life Alchemist should live with. One filled with luxury and beauty.~" He murmured to himself as he caressed one of the girl's faces with an evil grin on his face.

"I heard you have a sister no less beautiful than you~" He cups the girl's face pulling her closer to himself. "How about introducing her to me too?~"

The girl was trembling in fear but what could she do? Mere Dou Zhi Qi fights back against Dou Zhe cultivator, who is also a Tier 1 Alchemist. After she resisted it would be fortunate if she left with her life.

"Every day, we further stray from God." An unfamiliar male voice comes from behind Liu Xi making him scream in fright as he quickly turns around. Throwing the girl he was holding towards the direction of the voice in the hope of stalling some time using her.

As he leaps towards the window, hoping to escape from this room, one thing he learned from Wu Tan City is not to confront an unknown enemy.

"Don't bother wasting your energy."

Suddenly, the open window in front of him closes, and with that thud, everything comes to a standstill. As if the window was the only thing connecting this room with the world as if the time inside the room come to a stop. Candles instantly turn off without the city nor the starry night sky shedding its light on the room. It gets swallowed by the night.

Liu Xi was suspended in the air, unable to open his mouth to make a sound. He could only hear his breathing and feel his heartbeat. His eyes aimlessly wander around the room, searching for the invader.

He felt a cold touch reaching to the back of his neck, finally revealing where the intruder was. His touch was cold as if it directly came out from the icy abyss. He didn't put much force behind his hold, but the pain Liu Xi felt wasn't simply physical force.

"Don't worry I won't kill you... yet."

Hand white as snow appears in front of him, revealing a strange bug that looks like a larva. It's as big as a person's pink finger, and its shell is mostly made of unknown jade-like material emitting holy light, white with a golden pattern. It starts crawling toward Liu Xi.

Liu Xi's eyes trembled, wide open, and bloodshot shot as the caterpillar dug into his mind through his eye. Sadly, without his ability to make a sound or resist, he could only silently experience the pain of his mind getting swallowed by the Mind Weaving Cocoon is a cocoon.

As for the young girls that were in Liu Xi's room? They have been knocked out by Xiao Ming long ago. Xiao Ming held his palm under Liu Xi's missing eye, and a small ball of strange jade-like material dropped on his palm.

This small ball was a memory cocoon created by the Mind Weaving Caterpillar. Small cocoon that contains the memory it ripped off from the minds of its victims.

Without much hesitation, he stuffed it into his mouth, munching it like some kind of candy. Surprisingly sweet taste that is similar to honey fills his mouth. This was followed by fragments of memory rushing into his mind. It took him a few seconds to fully put together those fragments, but thanks to the Six Eyes's ability to process any information at incredible speed, he finished soon enough.

'Disciple is gone now only the master is left'
