I Might Be A Fake Cultivator

After shooting the Crimson God Arrow at Qing Li, An Lin beckoned with his hands and snatched the Flame-Sealing Disc and her storage ring from her. Then, he tried to place them into his storage ring.

To his surprise, however, the Flame-Sealing Disc possessed the power of life. As a result, he was unable to place it into his storage ring.

The Holy Vermilion Flame is also regarded as a sentient matter? No wonder the snow maiden held it in her hands.

He was slightly astonished by this discovery. Then, he turned around to face the critically wounded snow maiden.

Even though that snow maiden was fleeing as if her life depended on it, she was still only less than fifty kilometers away from An Lin. This was enough evidence to show just how severely wounded she was.

An Lin grinned. He took a step and instantly shot out dozens of kilometers, arriving before the snow maiden in a flash.

After seeing that An Lin had materialized before her, the color drained from the snow maiden’s face. As if she had seen a ghost, she froze to the spot in shock. Fear gripped at her heart, and she couldn’t raise any thought of resistance.

“What, you’re not going to attack me?” An Lin smiled strangely as he gazed at the snow maiden. “Back then, you were the one who pummeled Xu Xiaolan and me toward death even though you were severely wounded. Why have you suddenly become so cowardly?”

The snow maiden shook her head profusely. “P-please spare me,” she stammered. “It’s taken me tens of thousands of years of earnest cultivation to reach the Return to Void Stage. I don’t want to die like this…”

Tears rolled down her pale cheek as she pleaded desperately.

“I-I can sign a slave contract with you. I beg you, please don’t kill me…”

An Lin frowned. The Palace Leader of the Holy Palace had shamelessly cast aside her dignity and was shivering as she begged for her life.

“Is that all?”

“I-I beg you! I’ll do anything you want…” the snow maiden pleaded.

“Anything?

“Then go die!”

An Lin’s sword slashed down.

A black shadow ripped through the air and engulfed the snow maiden’s body.

An Lin had initially wanted to bully this snow maiden for a bit longer. However, he instantly lost all interest after seeing her sorry state. He picked up her fallen storage ring and started to head back.

In this battle, he had obtained the storage rings of five Holy Palace Leaders. In addition, he had completed the mission for the Divine Simulation Technique and received an extremely impressive spell technique. Indeed, this battle was quite rewarding.

He returned to Xu Xiaolan’s side.

Xu Xiaolan was standing on a patch of melting snow, and she smiled faintly as she gazed at An Lin. “Have you dealt with them?” she asked softly.

“I’ve killed them all. This is our sect’s Flame-Sealing Disc, take care of it.” An Lin grinned as he handed the Flame-Sealing Disc over to Xu Xiaolan.

Xu Xiaolan faltered slightly. Then, she nodded heavily and placed the Flame-Sealing Disc into her lap.

“I’m going to be feeble for a while. Do you mind looking after me?”

An Lin could feel the energy draining from his body.

“Leave it to me,” Xu Xiaolan smiled.

Soon after, An Lin’s body was exhausted of all energy. A feeling of dizziness and feebleness washed over him.

Xu Xiaolan immediately rushed over and carefully provided him with support.

An Lin could feel her warmth as she made contact with him, and he could also smell her fragrant scent. This was an extremely blessed feeling, and it sent ripples through his heart.

“My voice transmission talisman has been destroyed by the snow maidens,” Xu Xiaolan said. “Once my vital energy replenishes, I’ll try to contact the nearby elders using my Golden Phoenix Cry.”

An Lin nodded. “Then what are we going to do now?”

Xu Xiaolan pondered for a moment.

Just as she was about to speak, she glimpsed an azure light flashing hundreds of kilometers in the distance.

Xu Xiaolan was a bit puzzled, and she looked toward the distance. Then, her pupils contracted, and she shielded An Lin behind herself without any hesitation.

The next instant, the azure flash vanished.

Xu Xiaolan felt the temperature behind her plummeting, and a frosty chill gripped at her heart.

She immediately turned around with a look of panic and fear in her beautiful eyes. “An Lin!”

A green icicle was protruding from An Lin’s chest, and it sparkled with a sinister glow. A deathly chill spread through his body.

Xu Xiaolan immediately removed the icicle with her hands and tossed it onto the ground.

As if receiving some sort of stimulation, the green icicle curled up into a glassy ball-like object. Its luster was dull, as if it had expended all its energy.

Xu Xiaolan didn’t hesitate and immediately destroyed the ball-like object with her flames. She didn’t want to risk having it attack them again.

She gripped An Lin’s body tightly. “An Lin, are you alright?” she asked in a panicked voice.

“Cold…” An Lin’s body shivered uncontrollably. Frost had covered the gaping wound left by the icicle, and it crackled as it continued to spread across his body.

Xu Xiaolan poured her flame energy into An Lin’s body. Then, she carried him to a secluded cave nearby in a bid to hide from any potential enemies.

“An Lin, how are you feeling?” Xu Xiaolan discovered that her flame energy was completely swallowed by the ball of extreme ice energy. She was unable to stem the frosty chill from spreading across An Lin’s body.

An Lin shivered uncontrollably. He had lost the ability to speak.

The frosty chill was extremely terrifying. Not only could it freeze his flesh and meridians, but it could even freeze his vital energy and divine sense. To make matters worse, this chill possessed a potent destructive power.

This power was very similar to Qing Li’s Divine Azure Bird power. Both these powers froze their targets before decomposing and destroying them.

I was too careless… Perhaps this really is Qing Li’s leftover power. Who would’ve thought that I’d be given a final surprise…

An Lin’s vision became hazy, and he eventually slipped into unconsciousness.

“An Lin! An Lin!” Xu Xiaolan cried in panic as she frantically poured flame energy into An Lin’s body. However, this was to no avail.

She was completely flustered. Fear and dread crept into her mind.

A thin layer of frost slowly covered An Lin’s skin.

What can I do…

That’s right! I have a first-rank Golden Phoenix Immortal Fruit!

She had prepared this immortal fruit for when she attempted to break through to the Soul Formation Stage. It contained an extremely powerful flame energy and was probably enough to stem the spread of the frost poison!

Xu Xiaolan retrieved the Golden Phoenix Immortal Fruit from her storage ring. A heatwave instantly swept into the surroundings and replaced the chill in the cave with warmth.

She didn’t hesitate any longer and immediately used a spell technique to transfer the energy contained within the immortal fruit into An Lin’s body.

A pure and boundless flame energy gushed into An Lin’s body. This immortal fruit also contained a shred of phoenix power which was a type of power that was the nemesis to all ice energy and frost poison. It was probably enough to save An Lin.

Sure enough, the frost caking An Lin’s body started to melt away. A healthy shade of red also appeared on his face.

Xu Xiaolan breathed a sigh of relief, and a faint smile stretched across her face.

After the energy of the immortal fruit had been completely absorbed, she extended her hand toward An Lin’s puncture wound. Blood was still seeping out from it.

Then, the blood suddenly froze. Immediately afterward, an azure light raced through An Lin’s body, leaving a trail of devastating cold wherever it passed. It appeared as if this burst of energy had exploded after being suppressed for a long time.

An Lin’s body was covered in vein-like azure-colored threads. Possessing a hint of destructive power, these threads released bursts of bone-chilling cold.

Xu Xiaolan shuddered. It looked as if she were about to crack under the hopelessness of the situation. She hugged An Lin tightly and murmured, “This can’t happen… You’re not going to die… There’s definitely a way…”

She suddenly thought of the life-saving treasure that her second uncle—Zhu Xuze, Vermilion Bird Sect’s sect leader—had given her.

When she came across an impossible conundrum, she could seek an answer from this treasure.

This was a treasure that even the True Gods of the Dao Integration Stage regarded highly—Dao Seeking Heavenly Book!

Xu Xiaolan was resolute as she took out this treasure. This was a piece of yellow paper.

Instantly, some sort of intangible aura rippled across the void. This aura possessed the intent realm of the Great Dao’s ultimate meaning.

Xu Xiaolan placed the Dao Seeking Heavenly Book onto An Lin’s head and activated it with her divine sense. She used her blood to seek an answer, and she drew out a string of bright red words.

“Question: How can I save An Lin?”
