Chapter 4: A fraud park in the world of cultivation?
After Gao Huohuo left, Xiaofu looked at her back, feeling very confused.
She had clearly lit some aphrodisiac incense and used a spirit-calling banner in the fire room last night.
Why was it Manager Tian who died in the morning, while Gao Huohuo was fine?
However, this also further confirms what others said, that Gao Huohuo did have some treasure hidden on her body, otherwise how could she have escaped last night?
Now that Gao Huohuo is a disabled person, it would be a waste to keep those treasures.
It would be better to use it on her. Maybe in the next competition, it could help her win the Foundation Establishment Pill.
Let her rush from the ninth level of Qi Refining to the great perfection of Qi Refining in one fell swoop, so that these treasures will not be wasted.
On the other side, Gao Huohuo breathed a sigh of relief only after leaving the range of the Shadow Sect.
But he still didn't dare to delay and hurried to the nearest town.
Now they had escaped from the Shadow Sect's territory, but they left in a hurry and didn't have anything valuable on them.
The main reason is that all the good things of the original owner were taken away by the sect leader.
Even if she left in no hurry, she still couldn't get it! The most important thing was how was she going to live in the future?
Now she is in the world of cultivating immortals. She has no strength and no background. Her life is as fragile as paper!
While thinking about what to do next, Gao Huohuo heard someone shouting:
"Everyone, hurry up and take a look! Another new grave has been dug up!"
Again? Digging up graves? How deep must the hatred and resentment be! Is this still practiced in the world of cultivation?
When Gao Huohuo heard this, he wanted to join in the fun, after all, this kind of thing was not common in the past.
I followed the crowd to that place and found that the grave had indeed been dug up, but the body of the deceased was still there.
Gao Huohuo took a look inside. The digging was done with great conscience, but not much conscience.
Only the corpse was left, and all the burial objects had been taken away.
So he murmured quietly:
"This gravedigger has some sense of propriety, righteousness, and honor, but not much. He even knew to leave someone an undergarment."
"Indeed, fellow Daoist's thoughts coincide with mine."
Hearing the voice, Gao Huohuo turned around and found that the person who answered her was a Qi Refining cultivator who was dressed in a messy way.
Fortunately, the original owner had practiced special spells before, which allowed her to quickly identify the cultivator's cultivation level without using spiritual power.
After looking the man up and down, Gao Huohuo didn't intend to respond.
Based on previous life experience, people who wear strange clothes are usually a bit weird.
And Lou Chongxiao, who was considered to have a quirk, saw Gao Huohuo at first sight.
He thought that since this girl was alone and so young, maybe he could trick her into becoming his junior sister.
After all, their sect has few people and a lot of work to do. With one more person working, the others can be a little lazy every day.
"My fellow Daoist, although you are young, you have amazing bones and are obviously a genius in cultivation. I wonder if you have joined a sect?"
Hearing this, Gao Huohuo rolled his eyes in his heart.
This guy's way of chatting people up is so old-fashioned. What era is this, and he's still using the same words?
But if you think about it carefully, the original owner has already reached the Nascent Soul stage at this age, and he is indeed a genius in cultivation.
But let’s not talk about the Shadow Sect. If there was a good sect, she could just join it.
So, Gao Huohuo pretended to be sincere and shook his head, with a hint of curiosity in his tone:
"I've never heard of it, but seeing how you look, your sect must be very powerful! May I ask which sect you are from?"
Sure enough, when Lou Chongxiao on the opposite side heard this, a confident smile immediately appeared on his face.
He puffed out his chest, with a hint of pride in his tone:
"Fellow Daoist, you have a good eye! Although we can't say that our sect is on par with the Shadow Sect, we are well-known to everyone in the surrounding mountains!"
As he spoke, he pointed around and asked mysteriously, "Look at those people next to me. Do you know why they are so far away from me?"
Gao Huohuo glanced around and muttered to himself, "Isn't it because your outfit is so weird?"
He wore a black inner garment on the upper body, a gray robe on the outer body, and white trousers on the lower body. He was dressed in black, white and gray, looking like a walking color palette.
This is not the way to mix and match! Even if gradient colors are popular, this is not gradient, it’s simply "fickle"!
However, Gao Huohuo didn't show it on his face, still shook his head, pretending to be confused:
"I don't know, please enlighten me."
When Lou Chongxiao saw that there was a chance, he was secretly happy: It turns out that young people are easy to deceive!
He lowered his voice mysteriously and said:
"It's mainly because our sect is so famous! Every time we go out, we always meet all kinds of enthusiastic fellow Taoists who want to exchange experiences with us.
That's why the Sect Master specifically told us to be sure to protect ourselves when we go out...
Ahem, you must keep a distance from others. You can't affect other fellow Taoists' cultivation just because you are too outstanding."
"Too good?" Gao Huohuo couldn't help but roll his eyes inwardly, "It's a bit too outrageous!"
However, she still pretended to understand something and nodded repeatedly:
"I see! No wonder you are so different from others!"
Seeing this, Lou Chongxiao became even more proud and continued:
"Of course! Our sect is the leader in this area, and every disciple is gifted and has a high level of cultivation.
If you are interested, why not consider joining us?"
Gao Huohuo's heart moved, and he grasped the key point of his words - "on par with the Shadow Sect."
She thought to herself: If that's the case, then if I join them, Lin Zhipeng's hands shouldn't be able to reach that far, right?
Thinking of this, Gao Huohuo cautiously asked, "Does your sect provide meals every day?"
Lou Chongxiao thought about it and thought that the five big steamed buns every day could be considered as free meals!
So he nodded and answered firmly: "Yes, every day."
I have to eat it. After all, my master said that if I eat the steamed buns, I can do more work when I go out to work every day.
Gao Huohuo was worried and confirmed again: "Is there any contribution point deduction for eating?"
Lou Chongxiao shook his head, his tone relaxed:
"That's not necessary. There are only a few people in the sect. Instead of dealing with that thing, it's better to do more work and earn some spirit stones."
But... before he could finish his sentence, Gao Huohuo asked again:
"That sounds alright. What's the name of your sect?"
"The Shadow Moon Sect." Lou Chongxiao puffed out his chest, a hint of pride in his tone.
Gao Huohuo's mind was moved: Shadow Moon Sect? Judging from the name, it shouldn't be an evil sect.
She immediately breathed a sigh of relief, as she could finally get rid of her identity as an evil cultivator.
So, she continued to ask, "Is your sect recruiting people recently?"
When Lou Chongxiao heard this, his excited expression flashed across his face, and he secretly rejoiced in his heart: "I didn't expect this little girl to be more anxious than me!"
However, in order to highlight that their sect does not accept everyone, he immediately put on an embarrassed look and said in a serious tone:
"We are recruiting, but our Shadow Moon Sect has always been very strict in recruiting. Once you join, you can't quit midway."
Gao Huohuo was actually happy when he heard this:
Isn't this exactly what I need? Where can I find a place like this where I can eat and drink for free without being expelled from the sect?
She immediately patted her chest and assured: "Brother, don't worry, I will definitely meet your requirements and will not back out halfway!"
Seeing this, Lou Chongxiao was secretly pleased with himself, but on the surface he still pretended to be reluctant:
"Well, since you're so sincere, I'll give you a test first. However, whether you can stay or not depends on what Master thinks."
Gao Huohuo nodded repeatedly, a bright smile on his face: "Thank you, Brother! I will definitely perform well!"
The original owner was a Nascent Soul cultivator, so he should have good talent.
Since he was able to join the Shadow Sect, then there should be no problem for him to join the Shadow Moon Sect, which is on par with the Shadow Sect.
When Lou Chongxiao heard that his senior brothers were all called, he pulled Gao Huohuo aside.
He took out a black stone from the storage bag and motioned Han Huohuo to drop a drop of blood on it.
Soon the stone reacted and changed color, and then Lou Chongxiao said happily:
"Junior sister, congratulations on joining our Shadow Moon Sect. I'm Lou Yunxiao, and I don't know your name yet."
Is that it?
Isn't the admissions process strict?
Can all the problems be revealed by just one drop of blood?
However, Gao Huohuo finally solved his own food and accommodation problems, and he looked relaxed.
When she was asked her name, she replied, "Gao Huohuo."
When he heard her name, Lou Chongxiao was obviously disappointed for a moment, but then he became excited again.
Now that I've finally recruited a new person, my master shouldn't nag me anymore, right?
So, he waved his hand and said proudly: "Let's go, follow me back to the sect!"
Gao Huohuo followed behind him, thinking in his heart: Shadow Moon Sect... sounds pretty good, at least it's much better than being an evil cultivator!
When she followed Lou Chongxiao to the Shadow Moon Sect, she found that the further she walked, the more desolate the two sides became. There were fewer and fewer pedestrians on the road, but more and more graves.
Gao Huohuo couldn't help but complain in his heart:
Why is it that the further we walk around this place, the more it looks like a modern park in the southwest corner?
I wouldn’t be encountering a scammer in the world of cultivation, would I?
Especially when thinking about Lou Chongxiao's expression and actions before and after, Gao Huohuo felt a little frightened, and his heart was beating fast:
I won't just escape from the wolf's den and fall into the tiger's den, right?
She put on a flattering smile and asked cautiously:
"Brother Lou, how far is our Shadow Moon Sect?"
Lou Chongxiao pointed ahead and said in a relaxed tone, "Look, we're already here."
We're here? We're here already?
Gao Huohuo looked up and almost popped his eyes out.
In front of me was a dilapidated mountain gate with three large characters hanging crookedly on the plaque - "Yingyue Sect".
The handwriting was so sloppy that it looked like doodles, and there were even a few cracks running through it.
A gust of cold wind blew, rolling up a few yellow fallen leaves, and the air was filled with an indescribable sense of desolation.
Gao Huohuo looked around, his heart trembling:
This place, which is slightly better than the mass grave, is the sect where I will be staying?
She couldn't help but roar in her heart: Didn't they say they were on par with the Shadow Sect? How could they be on par with them? Just the sect's name?!
