Unadorned Willow Sect

Unadorned Willow Sect.

A man with an alpaca-shaped hairstyle is explaining the exciting battle to his junior brothers and sisters:

"Think back to that day, your senior brother and I Jiang Lin, that Flower-Picking Thief, for three hundred rounds. Neither of us would give way or back down. In the end, the Flower-Picking Thief and I exchanged a sword and a fist, and then we separated again, the shockwaves sweeping across the battlefield!"

Finally, I used all my Spiritual Power to unleash Ghost Fire Ring! Jiang Lin, that Flower-Picking Thief, also drew his sword with his fingertips and used his strongest Sword Moves move, Dragon Falls Apart!

We called out each other's names, our moves clashing, the fusion of ice and fire creating countless spiritual waves! If the elders hadn't intervened in time, some of the lower-level practitioners would probably have been injured!

"Senior Brother Liang Chen, you're amazing!"

"Haha, so-so. It's a pity your senior brother wasn't in good form at the time, otherwise, I should have been able to win by a small margin. Although Jiang Lin is very strong, he's still slightly inferior to your senior brother."

"Senior Brother Liang Chen, I heard that Jiang Lin is very handsome, is that true?"

"Nonsense, how could someone be Flower-Picking Thief if they weren't handsome? But compared to your senior brother, he's still a little bit lacking."

"Ah..." Some of the junior female students looked disappointed.

Although my senior brother is good-looking, he's not exactly handsome either. Jiang Lin is even less so; he's just average...

Although there was a portrait of Jiang Lin in the newspaper, how could you tell anything from a portrait...?

But why are so many girls saying Jiang Lin is handsome? Is it because Jiang Lin is romantic?

"Senior brother, will Jiang Lin, that Flower-Picking Thief competition?"

"Little Xia, Young Master Jiang is a member of the Demon Sect, we are the Righteous Sect..."

"But..."

Just as Little Xia was about to retort, a massive martial fortune swept across the sky!

"My God, another Martial Warrior has reached the pinnacle of martial arts!"

"He must be a handsome guy!"

"That guy definitely has eight-pack abs!"

"He must be able to do Push-ups for a really long time!"

"..."

At the Dragon Gate Sect, many cultivators raised their heads, gazing at the boundless martial fortune, and couldn't help but sigh, thinking of a certain person.

"Qin Xiao, do you still remember what Junior Brother Jiang Lin said back then, about wanting to be a Pure Martial Warrior?"

"Of course I remember. Back then, Junior Brother Jiang heard that Pure Martial Warrior never suffered from kidney deficiency, and he longed for it immensely."

"So, do you think Junior Brother Jiang succeeded?"

"Whether he succeeds or not, I don't know, but if Junior Brother Jiang really does step onto the Adult's Stairway, Junior Brother Jiang 'll probably be in a very bad situation."

"Well..."

The two sighed and couldn't help but look at Senior Sister Lin, who now possessed her own mountain peak. Even with the protective barriers erected by their grandmaster and Grandmaster Mother, sword energy still soared into the sky from that peak...

On the Soaring Cloud Flying Ship, a woman wearing a veil and carrying two swords stood by the railing, watching the clouds drift by. Unconsciously, her thoughts began to wander...

"I, Jiang Yida, am willing to die for this girl!"

"Miss Xiao, hurry and go!"

"Girl, I'm dying..."

"Let's Pai Gow together..."

"Hmm? Miss Xiao, what did you ask me again?"

Words floated through the girl's mind, and unconsciously, the corners of her mouth turned up slightly as she looked into the distance.

"Alas... of the eighty thousand words in the world, only the word 'love' is the most heart-wrenching."

The woman's words quietly surfaced in the girl's mind.

"Elder Sister Sword Spirit... I'm sorry..."

Upon hearing the Elder Sister Sword Spirit's voice, the girl responded in her heart, apologizing for forcing herself to go to the Sun Moon Sect back then.

"You little rascal, you've apologized more than ten times already, saying it's nothing," the Sword Spirit said with a smile. "However, the journey to Donglin City is quite dangerous, Xueli, you can't afford to be distracted any longer."

"Yes, disciple understands!" Xiao Xueli nodded, her beautiful eyes sharpening. No matter what, she could never forget the day when the Dugu Demonic Sect massacred the Xiaoyao Sect!

"Oh, another top-ranking pure Martial Warrior Realm has emerged."

Just as the Soaring Cloud Flying Ship was moving steadily forward, the vast amount of martial energy converged in one direction, and in an instant, the railings of the spaceship were crowded with passengers and cultivators.

When was the last time you reached your strongest level?

"It seems like it was a few years ago?"

"Although I've seen it many times, every time I see this sky full of martial energy, it's still a magnificent sight."

"Hahaha, what's the use of being spectacular? In the end, all this martial luck will still be scattered."

"Yes, it seems that none of the strongest Pure Martial Warrior lately have been able to claim these martial opportunities."

"This is the domineering spirit of Martial Warrior. Relying on oneself, not on fate. These external things may be good, but you can shatter them with a single punch. How domineering is that? Moreover, it also elevates one's state of mind."

The passengers on the Soaring Cloud Flying Ship marveled at the overwhelming martial fortune, but none of them believed that the other party would accept it.

After all, more than a decade ago, when it was said that a young girl shattered the boundless martial energy, and the strongest Martial Warrior Realm of all time was born, no one accepted the martial energy. It was as if whoever accepted the boundless martial energy was a husky mixed in with a pack of wolves...

"Alright, Xueli, let's go inside. It's too crowded here, it's not a good place."

"Wait, Elder Sister Sword Spirit, I want to take another look..."

"Hmm? What's so interesting about this? There are Ten Realms of Martial Warriors. Except for the Tenth Realm, every few years Martial Warrior is born with the strongest realm. It's always the same scene. But indeed, there is a lot of luck involved. It's possible that the strongest Martial Warrior in the third realm has been born."

"No, Elder Sister Sword Spirit, I feel like it's the Martial Warrior First Realm."

"The first realm?" The Sword Spirit felt a chill run down its spine.

Xueli has a natural sensitivity to changes in the world, which likely stems from her Supreme Bone. Therefore, the Sword Spirit trusts Xueli's judgment.

But can being the strongest in the first realm truly attract martial fortune from all directions of Wutong Province?

No, it's not impossible. More than a decade ago, when a young girl reached the first realm, she stirred up the martial fortune of the entire Nine Provinces. Not only that, but since then, every time that girl broke through a realm, she reached the strongest Martial Warrior Realm, and each time she stirred up the martial fortune of the Nine Provinces.

However, all of this luck was eventually lost. Many people wanted to find this little girl, but they were all stopped by some old men hiding deep in the mountains and forests. To this day, all that is known is that she was a girl, and no further speculation is allowed.

In order to stop some people from making their own deductions, three renowned sages from Confucianism, Buddhism, and Daoism, and Daoism stepped forward to conceal the secrets of heaven.

"Young Master Jiang..." Suddenly, Xiao Xueli's eyes lit up, "Elder Sister Sword Spirit, Young Master Jiang has entered the first realm of Martial Warrior!"

"Jiang Lin?!"

Sword Spirit really needs to question his apprentice at this point.

It's not that I look down on Jiang Lin, but that kid is too unreliable. Pure Martial Warrior need to suffer endless hardships, but his words...

Forget it, I'd better not bother this girl... Maybe Xueli misses Jiang Lin too much.

At this moment, in Wutong Province, apart from some ordinary people, all cultivators and Martial Warrior raised their heads to look at the vast martial fortune converging in one place.

Inside the largest Confucian Academy in Wutong Province, Virtuous Gentlemen shook their heads, opened their books, and began reciting.

In a Buddhist temple in Wutong Province, an old monk patted the head of a handsome young monk. The young monk knew it was time to chant scriptures again. Holding the scriptures, he sat on a stone in the temple and began to recite them aloud, as if reciting poetry.

In a Daoist temple in Wutong Province, a young man who was sleeping on a whisk smacked his lips, touched his nose, and then, as if in a dream, grabbed the whisk and tossed it into the air, as if swatting away mosquitoes.

In less than three breaths, the sounds of reading, chanting, and the gentle breeze stirred by whisks merged into the celestial martial fortune.

The martial fortune that filled the sky slowly disappeared without a trace, and apart from a very small number of people, no one else would be able to detect the direction they ultimately went.

The martial fortune of the Sun Moon Sect's Twin Pearl Peak has been gradually gathering, and it began to manifest itself the moment it permeated the Sun Moon Sect's Sect Protecting Formation.

Jiang Yuni looked up, a Xiao Xiao disappointment in her eyes...

[Oh dear, how did Little Linlin succeed in making the Clay Embryo Realm Clay Embryo Realm? I was thinking that Little Linlin had failed, I could have comforted Little Linlin tonight, but she succeeded...]

Jiang Yuni stomped her little feet in a bit of annoyance, her beautiful eyes blinking unhappily.

However, Jiang Yuni quickly came to a conclusion.

[Little Linlin has become the strongest Clay Embryo Realm, so she must be very happy. Maybe tonight I can indulge in being cute with Little Linlin to my heart's content...]

As she thought about it, Jiang Yuni's eyes curved into two crescent moons.

Having finalized her plan in her mind, Jiang Yuni happily looked away from the air, holding Little Niannian in one arm and waving a Sugar-coated Haws in front of Little Niannian eyes with the other, continuing her great deception.

Looking at the bright red candied Sugar-coated Haws, Little Niannian reached out her little hand to grab it, but every time she reached out, Little Niannian pulled her hand back and hugged it to her chest, her big, bright eyes filled with confusion.

"Come on, Niannian, just call for Mommy, and Mommy will give Niannian Sugar-coated Haws. Not just one, but every time Little Niannian wants Sugar-coated Haws, Little Niannian will buy it for you."

As he spoke, Jiang Yuni took out a large mallet from his Storage Bag, the mallet covered with Sugar-coated Haws.

When Little Niannian saw the candied Sugar-coated Haws, her eyes lit up as if she had found a great treasure.

Little Niannian leaned out to touch it, but just as her Xiao Xiao fingers were about to touch the Sugar-coated Haws, Little Niannian quickly pulled her hand back and shook her head vigorously.

I really want to eat Sugar-coated Haws, and so many at that! Daddy never Niannian eat so Sugar-coated Haws...

But Mom is Mom, and sister is sister. How can you call sister Mom...? If Mom finds out, will she be angry with Little Niannian?

But looking at the Sugar-coated Haws and then at the older sister holding her, Little Niannian's chubby tail wagged back and forth, unable to make a decision.

Within the Sun Moon Sect, regardless of who initiated the gambling, teahouses, restaurants, and gambling dens were all bustling with activity.

"Come on! Place your bets! We're betting on Jiang Lin to break up Wu Yun's group, and we think that kid Jiang Lin will accept Wu Yun's bets on this side."

How much of the martial fortune do you think Jiang Lin will ultimately be able to collect—one percent or two percent—can be divided and bet on separately...?

Various standalone buildings opened for sale one after another, especially the largest gambling house of the Sun Moon Sect, where Diao Da and others kept shouting promotions.

"Damn it, is there even a need to suppress it? That kid Jiang Lin will definitely use every ounce of his strength to collect the martial luck!"

"That's not necessarily true. Jiang Lin is now Pure Martial Warrior, and in the past ten years or so, no strongest Martial Warrior has absorbed martial luck at the first level."

"But that's Jiang Lin! You might make a small profit, but that guy never loses!"

"Could it be that we only saw the first floor, but that kid is actually on the fifth floor?"

"I'm worried too. What if that kid deliberately doesn't accept martial arts luck just to win our money? Didn't that guy make a fortune last time?"

"Damn it! Jiang Lin is such a shameless Little Thief! He's utterly shameless!"

Many people rolled their eyes at the guy who had just spoken. "Bro, are you new here? When did Jiang Lin ever get any shame...?"

"..."

At the various gambling tables, the Sun Moon Sect cultivators were arguing heatedly about whether Jiang Lin, that kid, would absorb martial luck.

Meanwhile, in a small pavilion in the Chen Manor, Jiang Lin and Chen Huo were engaged in a fierce fight around a stone table.

Even though he was tied up like a mummy, Chen Huo still managed to find an opportunity to ambush Jiang Lin, then used "Strong Man Locks Man" to entangle the two together.

"Uncle Chen, you're injured, don't do anything reckless..."

"Pah! You have the nerve to say that! If you hadn't threatened me into buying something against my will, would Little Zhuang have found out? And if Little Zhuang hadn't found out, would I have been beaten to a pulp with multiple fractures?!"

"..."

Jiang Lin was speechless for a moment. Multiple comminuted fractures throughout his body? Was it really that bad?

However, the fact that Father Chen's Madam Chen could still restrain himself after being beaten like this shows that his recovery ability is truly astonishing. Jiang Lin suddenly gained a new understanding of Father Chen's Martial Warrior Realm...

"Jiang Lin, I'll fight you to the death!"

"Wait... ah..."

"Ouch!! It hurts, it hurts, it hurts..."

"No... I'm the one who got twisted, uncle, why are you yelling!"

"Nonsense, it hurts every time I exert force!" With that, Chen Huo continued to push, and the two of them screamed in pain again...

"Ah!!! Jiang Lin! You can't touch my daughter!"

"Ah!! Uncle Chen! It was your daughter who took the initiative, it has nothing to do with me..."

"What! You really did try to harm my Little Jia! Jiang Lin, today I'll fight you to the death! Ah!!!"

"It hurts, it hurts... Father."

"What did you call me?!"

"No! Father-in-law!"

"You Little Thief, shout again!"

"Father in law!"

Jiang Lin! You will die today!

"Holy crap! You called me Uncle Chen? Uncle! Wait! I think you've misunderstood something. Little Jia and I are just friends!"

"Then why do you say it was my daughter who initiated it!"

"Nonsense, it was your daughter who hit me first..."

"..."

Five minutes later, Jiang Lin and Father Chen sat facing each other, drinking tea. Both their hands trembled as they picked up their teacups...

"Jiang Lin, you should have explained this earlier."

Jiang Lin's brow twitched. "Uncle Chen, you didn't even give me a chance to explain."

"Haha, it's a misunderstanding, all a misunderstanding."

Chen Huo laughed heartily, his hand, wrapped Big Pig Trotter, picked up the teacup. "I'd like to toast Young Master Jiang."

"Never mind..." Jiang Lin rubbed his shoulder. "Uncle Chen, you should still have two undergarments left, right? Give them to me quickly, otherwise if they're discovered again, we're really finished."

"Oh, what's the rush?"

Chen Huo waved his hand, reached into his belly which was covered with strips of cloth, and slowly pulled out the peony-patterned clothing, grinning like a silly turtle:

"Don't worry, Little Zhuang won't find out. I keep it close to my body..."
