Chapter 4: A Fraud Park in the Cultivation World?
Chapter 4: A Fraud Park in the Cultivation World?
After Gao Huohuo left, Xiao Fu stared at her retreating figure, puzzled.
It was clearly her last night who lit incense and used a soul-summoning banner in the room with the fire.
Why was it the steward who died in the morning?
As for the treasures that others have mentioned that Gao Huohuo is hiding, we'll have to find another way to deal with that.
She's a cripple now, keeping those treasures would be a waste.
Why not use it on her? Maybe it can help her win the Foundation Establishment Pill in the next competition.
This allowed her to advance from the ninth level of Qi Refining to the Great Perfection of Qi Refining, and then to the Foundation Establishment stage.
Once they were out of the Shadow Sect's territory, Gao Huohuo finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Not daring to delay, I hurriedly went to the nearest town.
Now he had finally left the Shadow Sect, but he had left in a hurry and didn't have anything of value on him.
The main problem is that all the good things belonging to the original owner were taken by the sect leader.
Even if she doesn't leave in a hurry, she still won't get it!
What will happen next? Just as Gao Huohuo was pondering what to do next, she heard someone shout beside her:
"Everyone, come quick! Another grave has been dug up!"
Again? Grave digging? What deep-seated grudge must they have?! Do cultivators even do this kind of thing?
Following the crowd to the grave site, we found that it had indeed been dug up, but the deceased's body was still there.
Gao Huohuo glanced inside and saw that the digging was done with a conscience, but not much conscience. All that was left was the corpse; the burial goods had all been taken.
So he muttered to himself, "This grave robber has some sense of propriety and shame, but not much. He even knows to leave someone an undergarment."
“Indeed, fellow Daoist’s thoughts coincide with mine.”
Gao Huohuo then turned around and found that the person who answered her was a Qi Refining stage cultivator dressed in a disheveled manner.
Lou Chongxiao, who was considered to be dressed in a mess, saw Gao Huohuo for the first time.
He thought that since this girl was all alone and so young, he might be able to trick her into becoming his junior sister.
After all, their sect has few people and a lot of work. If one more person does the work, the rest of them can have an easier time every day.
"Fellow Daoist, I see that although you are young, you have extraordinary bones and are clearly a cultivation prodigy. I wonder if you have joined a sect?"
After thinking for a moment, Gao Huohuo realized that the original owner of this body was already at the Nascent Soul stage at such a young age, which indeed made him a cultivation prodigy.
But let's not talk about the Shadow Sect. If there's a good sect, she could just sneak into it.
He honestly shook his head. "No."
Judging from your appearance, your sect must be very powerful!
May I ask which sect you belong to, fellow Daoist?
Lying through her teeth is her basic code of conduct as a food delivery worker.
As expected, Lou Chongxiao smiled confidently upon hearing this.
"Fellow Daoist has good taste. Our sect may not be comparable to the Shadow Sect, but..."
But on all the hills, big and small, in this area, everyone knows about it.
Look over there, do you know why those people are so far away from me?
Gao Huohuo glanced at it and shook his head. Isn't it because your outfit is too strange?
He wore a black inner garment, a gray robe, and white trousers, completing his black, white, and gray ensemble.
This isn't how you mix and match!
Even if gradient colors are trending in fashion, this isn't a gradient at all.
That's just fickle.
Lou Chongxiao saw that he had a chance; as expected, young people are easy to fool.
He said mysteriously, "It's mainly because our sect is too famous. Every time we go out..."
We will always encounter all sorts of enthusiastic fellow practitioners who want to exchange experiences with us.
Therefore, the sect leader instructed us that we must protect ourselves when we are out and about...
Keep your distance from others; don't let your own excellence hinder the cultivation of other fellow cultivators.
Too outstanding? Gao Huohuo really didn't see it coming. It's too outrageous, actually!
However, after listening to his flowery words, Gao Huohuo grasped one key point.
If she can rival the Shadow Sect, then if she joins them, Lin Zhipeng's reach shouldn't be that far, right?
Thinking of this, Gao Huohuo asked another question, "Does your sect provide meals every day?"
Lou Chongxiao thought for a moment, and decided that the five large steamed buns he ate every day without fail counted!
He answered firmly, "Yes, every day."
We had no choice but to eat, since Master said that if we ate the steamed buns, we could do more work every day.
Gao Huohuo, still not entirely reassured, asked again, "Eating doesn't deduct any contribution points, right?"
Lou Chongxiao shook his head, "No need for that."
There aren't many people in the sect, so instead of messing around with that stuff, we should do more work and earn some spirit stones.
However… before she could finish her sentence, Gao Huohuo asked again:
"Sounds alright. What's your sect called?"
"Shadow Moon Faction".
Judging from the name, it shouldn't be an evil cultivation sect. Now she can get rid of her identity as an evil cultivator.
"Is your sect recruiting recently?"
Lou Chongxiao's excited expression flashed by for a moment; he hadn't expected this little girl to be even more anxious than he was.
Just to make it clear that their sect doesn't accept just anyone, they immediately put on a reluctant expression.
"We can recruit them, but we are the Shadowmoon Sect..."
The hiring requirements are always quite strict; once you join, you can't quit midway.
Gao Huohuo thought that given her current situation, she needed this kind of sect!
Where else can you find such a good place where you won't be easily expelled from the sect and can even get free food and drinks?
"Don't worry, senior brother, I will definitely meet your requirements and I will not quit halfway."
The original owner was a Nascent Soul cultivator, so he must have had good talent.
Since he was able to join the Shadow Gate, his Shadow Moon Sect, which was on par with the Shadow Gate, should also be quite capable.
Upon hearing that his senior brother had been addressed as such, Lou Chongxiao pulled Gao Huohuo aside.
He took out a black stone from his storage bag and gestured for Han Huohuo to drip a drop of blood onto it.
The stone quickly reacted, changing color, and then Lou Chongxiao said with a happy expression:
"Junior sister, congratulations on joining our Shadow Moon Sect."
I'm currently downstairs in the clouds, and I still don't know my junior sister's name.
Is this over?
Isn't the recruitment process supposed to be strict?
Can a single drop of blood reveal all the problems?
Now that he had finally solved his food and lodging problems, Gao Huohuo looked relieved.
When asked her name, she replied, "Gao Huohuo."
Lou Yunxiao was visibly disappointed for a moment when he heard her name, but then became excited again.
"Junior Sister Gao, let me take you back to the sect first so you can meet Master and your senior brothers and sisters."
Upon hearing that he could see the sect leader upon returning, Gao Huohuo was quite excited. It seemed that the Shadow Moon Sect was indeed quite capable.
As she followed Lou Yunxiao to the Shadow Moon Sect, she found that the further she walked, the more desolate the scene became, with fewer and fewer people and more and more graves.
Gao Huohuo thought to herself: The further we walk, the more this place resembles a certain industrial park in the southwest corner of modern times. Could she have encountered a scammer from the cultivation world?
Especially when she thought about Lou Yunxiao's demeanor and actions before and after, Gao Huohuo felt increasingly terrified. Could she have just escaped one danger only to fall into another?
With a feigned ingratiating smile, he cautiously asked, "Senior Brother Lou, how far is our Shadow Moon Sect from here?"
"Look, we've arrived."
We've arrived? We've arrived already? Are you sure these three crooked characters are the Shadow Moon Sect?
A gust of cold wind blew by. This place, which was slightly better than the mass grave, was the sect she was about to join.
Isn't it supposed to be on par with the Shadow Sect? How are they on par? Just the sect names?
