I Might Be A Fake Cultivator

On the road, Da Bai was still in a gloomy mood.

“I didn’t bump into that old lady.” He argued with an upset expression.

“I know.” An Lin nodded.

Da Bai was taken aback upon hearing An Lin’s admission. “Then why did you still give them the five hundred spirit stones?”

An Lin smiled. “Because they genuinely need the money. The old lady’s condition is already quite dire. If she doesn’t receive any treatment soon, she probably wouldn’t even be able to last a year.

“Think about it, why would such an elderly lady and such a young child go to the extent of extorting money like this? If it wasn’t for the fact that they were desperate, they definitely wouldn’t do something like this that throws their dignity out the window.

“I’m guessing that they no longer have anyone they can rely on at home. If I don’t give them the five hundred spirit stones for the old lady to seek treatment, what would happen to the little girl once her grandmother dies in a year’s time? She’s only a child, how would you expect her to survive in the world alone?”

Da Bai nodded thoughtfully at An Lin’s explanation. “So, Big Brother An decided to be their savior?”

An Lin nodded. “My evaluation of the situation might be wrong, but if I’m correct, then I’ve really helped them out here. Don’t forget that I’m filthy stinking rich now, so a few hundred spirit stones aren’t really a lot for me.”

Da Bai was completely won over by this argument and Xiao Chou also patted An Lin’s shoulder in respect. “Big Brother An, well done!”

Thus, everyone continued on the journey to the Ten Thousand Spirits Immortal Sect.

The Ten Thousand Spirits Immortal Sect was located in the south of the Wind Plain State so everyone made their way south, encountering a lot of cute snow beasts on the way and also eating a lot of delicious snow beasts too.

The cuisine in the Wind Plain State was quite spicy and this suited An Lin just fine, so he had been quite happy in the past few days tasting the cuisines from various restaurants. If he could, he would stay here for a dozen years, no, he would eat here for a dozen years!

Without them realizing it, they had already arrived at the gate of the Ten Thousand Spirits Immortal Sect after a long period of traveling and eating.

This was the third super Immortal Sect that An Lin had visited.

It had to be said, this Immortal Sect gave him the best impression!

Peering in from the gate, An Lin could see a series of tall mountains reaching into the sky as white clouds revolved around their tips. The houses built along the sides of the mountains shone brightly under the light of the sun and there were even Immortal Cave Abodes where Immortals flew out using Sword Kinesis Flight from time to time.

“Greetings, may I ask what is your business here, fellow cultivator?”

A guard at the gate cupped his fists in inquiry upon seeing An Lin and the others.

Hmm… the customer service experience at the Ten-Thousand Spirits Immortal Sect was also the best he had seen so far!

“Hi there, my name is An Lin, I’m a friend of Xuanyuan Cheng and have come to visit him. Please inform him of my arrival,” An Lin replied politely.

The guard’s expression changed upon hearing this and he became even more respectful. “So you are a friend of Young Master Xuanyuan, I’ll inform him immediately!”

Soon, Xuanyuan Cheng, who was flying atop his sword, made his way over to where An Lin was.

He was still dressed in white flowing robes, his brows sharp as swords, and his face like warm jade, absolutely handsome to a fault.

“Student An Lin, I didn’t think you’d really come here to visit me.” Xuanyuan Cheng smiled warmly with delight.

“Haha, holidays are pretty boring anyway, so I thought I’d travel around,” An Lin replied with a smile.

Xuanyuan Cheng nodded. “That’s great, let me take you on a tour of the Ten Thousand Spirits Immortal Sect.”

Just like that, An Lin rode on Da Bai and flew into the sect together with Xuanyuan Cheng.

The Ten Thousand Spirits Immortal Sect covered a vast expanse of land and the sect itself was built along the side of the mountain. There were five main peaks and 96 subsidiary peaks.

The inner sect disciples cultivated in the main peaks, whilst the outer sect disciples cultivated in the subsidiary peaks.

An Lin was at one of the main peaks, Heavenly Dawn Peak, and from there, he could see a waterfall of over ten thousand feet in length.

It fell like rumbling thunder, roaring as if it were a galaxy flowing into the world, causing countless waves and ripples to appear in the water as well as a layer of mist to rise into the air.

Under the light of the sun, the mist transformed into a rainbow spectrum of water beads.

There was even a vibrant rainbow peering out from the mountain. It was like a colorful sash tied around the Heavenly Dawn Peak, both vibrant and imposing at the same time.

An Lin naturally would not forget to take a photo of such exquisite scenery in order to commemorate his trip here.

After that, they descended on the Earth Spirit Peak.

“We’re going to hold an Inter-Sect Games between the younger generation cultivators of all the sects here today. The competition is held once every four years. Are you interested in spectating?” Xuanyuan Cheng asked as he led the way forward.

An Lin’s eyes lit up upon hearing this.

Inter-Sect Games?

What a familiar term.

“Of course!” He replied in next to no time.

Watching other people fight was quite a thrilling experience. It was like watching a brilliant action film… No! It was like watching an Immortal action film with special effects!

The venue for the Inter-Sect Games was a very grandiose location. It was like a huge sports arena, able to hold a capacity of several tens-of-thousands of spectating cultivators. There were a few large elevated stages below the spectator stands on which competitors would fight against one another.

“What a bustling scene!” An Lin exclaimed after arriving at the venue and witnessing the several tens-of-thousands of spectating disciples yelling and cheering.

Xuanyuan Cheng chuckled lightly. “We’ve already progressed to the finals, all the disciples of the five main peaks and the 96 subsidiary peaks have come to cheer on their idols.”

An Lin looked toward Xuanyuan Cheng. “Big Brother Cheng, why didn’t a genius like you enter this competition?”

Big Brother Cheng was already at the Spirit Nurturing Intermediate Stage after a year of cultivating.

If he was to compete, he would definitely be able to flex his way to the championship title.

Xuanyuan Cheng shook his head. “I’m a part of the Heavenly Court now so I won’t participate in these games.”

The Heavenly Court itself was considered to be a superpower and all students of The United University of Cultivation belonged to the forces of the Heavenly Court.

Students could choose to stay in the Heavenly Court after graduation, in which case they would become true Heavenly Court citizens.

Of course, students could also choose to return to their respective sects.

However, if they were to do that, then all that would remain from their time in the Heavenly Court would be a graduation certificate.

For Xuanyuan Cheng, who was the young master of the Ten Thousand Spirits Immortal Sect, An Lin felt like he would definitely return to the sect to become the sect leader after graduation.

Sigh.

If that was the case… then Su Qianyun and Xu Xiaolan would probably leave the Heavenly Court after graduation too, right?

An Lin experienced a spell of sadness at the thought.

At this moment, the “Ding Dong” sound from the system suddenly sounded, startling him into a fright.

What was going on?!

He opened the system with confusion written on his face to find that the Special Missions tab was flashing.

[Detected that host is present at the Inter-Sect Games, now assigning the mission below:

Guess which cultivator would become the champion of these Games.

1) Tang Shiyuan.

2) Zhang Yan.

3) Lu Ren.

4) Kuang Re.

Mission Success: Reward of thirty vital stones.

Mission Failure: Deduct ten vital stones from the host’s storage ring.

This mission is a timed mission. Once the time passes, the mission will automatically cancel. Now commencing countdown of sixty seconds.]

Just as An Lin was in a bit of a stupor, the timer began to tick down — 59, 58…

The reward for completion was thirty vital stones…

That was thirty vital stone! How could he pass up such an opportunity?

However, he had no data at all on the four cultivators mentioned by the system, so there was only one way to complete this mission…

An Lin latched onto Xuanyuan Cheng’s arm and asked quickly, “Big Brother Cheng, who do you think has the best chance of becoming champion amongst Tang Shiyuan, Zhang Yan, Lu Ren, and Kuang Re?”

“Hm? How do you know the name of the disciples of our sect?” Xuanyuan Cheng asked curiously.

“Forget that for now Big Brother Cheng, just tell me which cultivators is strongest amongst them! We don’t have much time!” An Lin prompted anxiously.

There were only about a dozen seconds left!

“They’re all young prodigies of the Ten Thousand Spirits Immortal Sect and all of them are at Spirit Nurturing Initial Stage. I think Tang Shiyuan has the best chance at winning, her White Cloud Sword Techniques…” Xuanyuan Cheng analyzed with a serious expression.

Tang Shiyuan?

An Lin locked in Tang Shiyuan in the system with only three seconds to spare!

[Ding Dong, the mission is successfully accepted. The host has guessed that Tang Shiyuan will become the champion of the Inter-Sect Games.]

An Lin breathed a sigh of relief.

Xuanyuan Cheng was still analyzing in the meantime. “… her offensive power could be said to be the strongest amongst the four. Although there’s a very good chance of her taking out the title, I think that Kuang Re has the best chance out of all of them. Why is that? Well, that’s because…”

An Lin: “…”
