The Man Is the Flower-Picking Thief Jiang Lin!
For a moment, Jiang Lin and the others looked at each other with comical expressions.
They sensed trouble brewing!
[Realm Requirement: Cultivators at the Dragon Gate Realm Bone Age must be under forty years old?]
Just kidding! I'm forever eighteen!
I refuse to believe they can tell my true Bone Age.
[Proficient in one of the following: The Four Arts?]
hehe...
Diao Da: Is my legendary bird chess master about to Jianghu?
Fang Chaoqun: It seems I can't hide the fact that I'm using the name of Little Liu Bei in my book anymore.
Jiji Bo: It's definitely worth it to draw portraits of my wife every day.
Wu Ke: It seems I can no longer keep my story of playing the piano with my feet a secret.
Jiang Lin:
Does piano... guitar count?
Is Gomoku (Gomoku) considered a game of chess? If all else fails, how about Flying Chess instead?
Books... The only classic novel I remember reading in my past life is * The Jin Ping Mei *... Wait, why do I remember * The Jin Ping Mei *?
Drawing... sketching should be okay, right? I'm good at Two-Dimensional World!
In an instant, the group was filled with confidence!
However, having confidence is one thing; they don't really want to become the Ideal Son-in-Law of the Empty Spirit Sect.
After all, Fang Chaoqun is a sister-obsessed person.
Jiji Bo has a wife who weighs several hundred pounds and isn't interested in humans.
Wu Ke's heart is filled only with lotus flowers.
The Diao Da still Niannian about the Tou Ying.
As for Jiang Lin...
Although Jiang Lin was very interested in this kind of literary girl, and she was a rich and beautiful woman, her sickly appearance only aroused a man's protective instincts.
But how could I possibly marry her? That's a joke...
Besides, if I were to be forced to get married this time, my master would be furious if he found out.
At that time, Master will probably come to the Empty Spirit Sect to challenge her to a duel, all huff and puff, carrying Little Niannian in a cute but fierce manner.
However, Jiang Lin felt that his worries were unnecessary.
After all, he was a member of the Demon Sect, how could he possibly be chosen by that Mo Li? Even if a miracle did happen, the Empty Spirit Sect wouldn't allow it...
I'll be lucky if I don't get kicked out...
But it doesn't matter, since I'm not going to marry a girl anyway, this is an extremely good opportunity to sneak in!
Gather some information, get a free meal, and secretly pick a few medicinal herbs—wouldn't that be wonderful!
Let's do it!
After exchanging glances, Jiang Lin tossed down a few pieces of silver and ran out with Diao Da and the others!
When they arrived at the foot of the mountain adjacent to the Empty Spirit Sect Empty Spirit City, which is the Outer Peak of the Empty Spirit Sect (where outer disciples live, cultivate, and handle worldly affairs), they found people queuing up.
Most of them were monks who were musicians, chess players, masters, and painters, and they were all young and promising.
After all, those under forty years old in the Dragon Gate Realm, under sixty years old in the Golden Core Realm, and under one hundred years old in the Nascent Soul Realm are all considered geniuses of their time, the pillars of their sects, and practically the hope of the entire sect.
However, the total number of people in line was not large; including the five of us, there were only about seventy or eighty people.
That's perfectly normal, given how strict the selection criteria are, and most of those temporarily residing in Empty Spirit City are from ordinary sects.
How many geniuses can an ordinary sect have?
In addition, there are the Four Arts.
Having seventy or eighty people is already quite good.
Finally, it was Jiang Lin and his group's turn to register.
Fang Chaoqun entered smoothly and was led away by a girl whose cultivation level wasn't very high, but who was Inner Disciple, and flew into the Empty Spirit Mountain Range.
But things started to get a bit chaotic when it came to Wu Ke.
"Wait, are you a monk?"
"No? Being bald is simply my preferred hairstyle."
The outer disciples sized up Wu Ke a few times. Although he seemed unreliable, he did indeed meet the requirements...
As for whether or not to have a talent test, that's unnecessary. What's the point of getting it if you don't have any talent? Just to freeload?
What kind of cultivator is so shameless?
So he gave Wu Ke a Jade Token and waved him inside.
A maid also led Wu Ke into the mountain.
"Next fellow Daoist... wait? The Eagle Demon?"
"That's right, I, the Diao Da, am the aristocracy of birds!"
"No, you can't go in. Your appearance doesn't meet our standards."
"Huh? Why?! I Diao Da, am also a noble among birds! If I, Diao Da, am the second most handsome, who dares to claim the first!"
The disciple from the Empty Spirit Sect who was registering gave the Diao Da look:
"My Miss Mo Li is allergic to bird feathers, is that alright?"
Raising its claws and pointing at the outer disciple of the Empty Spirit Sect, the Diao Da was trembling with anger (actually, the Diao Da wasn't that angry, but it had to cause trouble, otherwise how could it boost its performance? However, the claim of being allergic to bird feathers was indeed too hurtful to a bird's pride), wishing it could peck at him with its sharp beak.
"Alright, Diao Da, move aside. If I say you're ugly, then you're ugly."
Then, with Jiji Bo pushed the Diao Da aside.
"Am I handsome enough?~~~"
The outer disciple's face twitched.
If these guys weren't actually at the Dragon Gate Realm, and their Bone Age didn't seem to be exactly forty, this outer disciple would have almost thought they were there to cause trouble.
"Fellow Daoist, I am very sorry, but we may be serving roast suckling pig at today's banquet. We are afraid it might make you uncomfortable, so please wait here."
The outer disciple bowed respectfully.
To be honest, this novel and unconventional excuse left Jiang Lin completely dumbfounded.
Although this guy is an outer disciple, he's still quite talented.
In fact, if this disciple hadn't been concerned about the sect's image, the elders could have instructed him not to bully customers just because he was a big business. Otherwise, he would have already drawn his knife.
What the hell are those eagle demon and pig demon doing here?
Our Miss Mo Li is here to choose a husband, not a pet...
However, the thought of this filled the outer disciple with a faint sadness.
Sigh... I'd like to give it a try myself, but unfortunately my Bone Age is already fifty, and I'm still stuck at the Cave Mansion Realm...
TMDWSM!
Why is it that even this demon can enter the Dragon Gate Realm before the age of forty, while I, as a disciple of the Empty Spirit Sect, cannot advance even a step!
As he thought about it, looking at the eagle demon and the pig demon, the outer disciple became furious.
I wanted to vent my anger and humiliate those two monsters.
But to everyone's surprise, just as this outer disciple opened his mouth, a man in white suddenly squeezed forward.
Looking at the other person's warm smile and handsome face, the outer disciple's heart suddenly raced.
This guy is so handsome!
"Fellow Daoist."
Jiang Lin bowed respectfully.
"My name is Zhang Dapao, a cultivator from the Beast Taming Sect in Wutong Province, specializing in Agricultural School husbandry. These are my two pets. They are also somewhat proficient in the Four Arts, and painting. I wonder if they could be so kind as to help me out?"
As he spoke, Jiang Lin grabbed the male cultivator's hand and secretly slipped him a small bag containing five Mid-Grade Spirit Stone.
"This..." Looking at Jiang Lin's handsome appearance, she weighed the small bag in her hand and then discreetly slipped it into her pocket. "Alright, don't cause trouble. Keep an eye on your pets and don't let them eat any spiritual herbs or elixirs, or you'll be fined tenfold."
After saying this, the outer sect cultivator wrote the three characters "Jiang Dapao" on a Jade Token and handed it to Jiang Lin. Then he took out two more Jade Token, wrote "Zhang Dapao's Pets" on them, and handed them to Diao Da and Jiji Bo...
Although Diao Da and Jiji Bo were about to explode, they held back!
MMP!
Once I get inside, I'll make sure your sect is completely wiped out!
But just as Jiang Lin and the others turned to enter the Mountain Gate, a sudden, urgent shout came from behind them:
"Wait! Don't let him in! This man is Jiang Lin, the Flower-Picking Thief!"
