I Possess a Body Full of Righteous Qi!
Donglin City, located in the west-central part of Wuzhou, is an independent city, similar to Black Tortoise City.
However, unlike other cities, Black Tortoise City is a gathering place for cultivators, making it a hub for gossip reporters throughout Wutong Province.
There are countless cultivators in the world, and the methods of Ascension are also countless.
The most common Confucian cultivator who study to attain enlightenment, Buddhist School scholars who meditate to attain enlightenment, and Daoist cultivator who ride oxen around aimlessly and eventually attain enlightenment.
Of course, there are other strange and varied Hundred Schools of Thought thought attained enlightenment. For example, there was a Farmer Cultivators tasted hundreds of herbs and was poisoned to the point of near death, but when he woke up, he had attained Ascension and ascended to heaven. Or, a thousand years ago, there was a Yin Yang School cultivator who took an unorthodox approach, becoming a Yin-Yang master in the cultivation world. This old Yin-Yang master finally attained enlightenment Ascension after disgusting the 99,999th cultivator with his strange and unsettling manner...
Those "reporters" in Black Tortoise City may seem like they're always gossiping and have nothing serious to do, but they're actually cultivating themselves in a way. Some of them are enthusiastic about gossip, while others are pragmatic. In any case, they're all walking on their own path of faith and never questioning anything.
Donglin City is different from Black Tortoise City. It is an ordinary, normal town in the mortal world, and it is also the most common town in the mortal world. However, unlike Donglin City does not rely on any country, but developed naturally.
Most of the people inside are ordinary people, but there are also cultivators. Generally, they keep to themselves and don't interfere with each other; there's no situation where someone would kill your whole family if you just glance at them...
This is generally not the case, because Confucianism, Buddhism, and Daoism, and Daoism have established certain rules to protect mortals. For example, cultivators cannot become emperors in the human world (except for emperors of demon-dominated countries), and indiscriminate killing of innocents will be investigated and severely punished by the three religions, etc.
Of course, there are definitely those who oppose the orthodox schools of thought such as Confucianism, Buddhism, and Daoism, and who specialize in beating up children, stealing their Lollipop, and seeing a glance at them as an insult, believing that insulting them means they want to kill them, so they will kill the entire family of cultivators in return.
These cultivators have a collective name: members of the Demon Sect Cult...
However, the meaning of "member of the Demon Sect sect" is too broad. You can be a free-range member of the Demon Sect sect, or you can be a member of an organized Demon Sect sect, such as the Dugu Demonic Sect or the Sun Moon Sect.
In reality, besides eating, drinking, gambling, and other vices, the Sun Moon Sect did nothing but swindle and cheat, which is why it was designated as Demon Sect. Jiang Lin felt that, ultimately, it was because the world was not open enough.
How can manipulating people's hearts be considered Demon Sect? This is a psychological game (manual sarcasm).
Furthermore, for cultivators, there are too many karmic connections in the mortal world, involving countless individuals.
In other words, how would you know if someone has any relatives or sisters who are leaders in their sect?
You have no idea what kind of Qi Refiner that eight-year-old child is worth in New Zealand dollars.
For example, what if someone has an illegitimate child who will strive to cultivate himself and avenge his parents?
Take, for example, Xiao Huohuo from that Novel Family's the Legend of Xiao Huohuo. He likes to play dumb to fool others. How do you define that...?
Therefore, generally speaking, no cultivator would be so idle as to get involved in worldly karma.
I'm here to gain experience, not to become a great demon...
Besides, a cultivator who would kill your whole family if you insulted him must have a poor mind and a low level of spiritual cultivation.
There's a high chance they'll be slapped to death on the street by some little girl, old monk, beautiful nun, Daoist Daoist Nun, or sweeping monk.
However, the conflicts, competition, and even killings among cultivators are largely ignored by the Hundred Schools of Thought, led by Confucianism, Buddhism, and Daoism. As long as you are strong enough, you can even make all the female disciples of the Fallen Flower Sect unable to afford to offend you.
After spending five days and five nights lying in the Ferrari, Jiang Lin arrived at the outskirts of Donglin City from the western part of Wutong Province.
Jiang Lin could have simply flown to Donglin City, but upon closer inspection, he figured that if he walked there, he might also be able to investigate the surrounding environment of Donglin City.
Jiang Lin now only hopes that his system won't malfunction during this period, such as making him help the Dugu Demonic Sect turn people into zombies.
But thinking about it, it's unlikely. Although this system has no morals, it hasn't made me kill a single person in all this time, and it's basically in line with the principles of the Sun Moon Sect.
[Do not kill indiscriminately, but win hearts and minds.]
And I have to say, this system is quite useful. It has everything, from health potions and mana potions to a whole bunch of materials that I don't understand. It's practically a department store, and it even has Resurrection Coin.
The Resurrection Coin Notoriety Points each... that's a bit of a rip-off...
Holding the mask as a system reward, Jiang Lin thought for a moment and decided not to wear it. After all, none of the portraits in the newspapers really looked like him...
Just like the portrait of Sanji from One Piece, am I really that sleazy?
Jiang Lin spent an afternoon wandering around the outskirts of Donglin City for ten miles, but found no trace of any magic array.
But didn't Aunt Lin say that it was very likely a magic array that turned the people of Donglin City into zombies? How could this be?
If you can't figure it out, then stop thinking about it.
As night fell, Jiang Lin found a dilapidated temple to stay in. At this time, Jiang Lin was dressed in a Confucian blue robe and held Paper Fan, looking every bit the scholar.
After all, it's said that these dilapidated temples are the easiest places to encounter Fox Spirits.
Most Fox Spirits cultivate by relying on the essence of men; they only absorb a portion of the essence of men without harming their fundamental nature.
Moreover, Fox Spirits especially have a thing for scholars. In folk tales, it's not just a story that a scholar on his way to the capital for the imperial examinations might encounter a beautiful woman in a dilapidated temple.
They help you relax before the exam, and you help them improve their skills—it's a win-win situation!
There are even stories of Fox Spirits genuinely fall in love with a talented scholar, their feelings are mutual, and after the scholar achieves success in the imperial examinations, he waits for her at the temple, eventually marrying her.
At that moment, Jiang Lin, who looked like a scholar, sensed a monster in the temple! Although he couldn't tell what kind of monster it was, he was sure it was Fox Spirits! Jiang Lin decided that he had to go and help them improve their cultivation!
So Jiang Lin happily skipped over, tidied his hair, and slowly pushed open the temple door.
The moment he pushed the ball away, two figures dribbled the ball and crashed into him, leaving Jiang Lin feeling completely blank.
Holy crap, this actually happened! And two monsters at that?!
I like!
"Ladies, as the ancients said, men and women should not touch each other. I am a proper scholar, and I feel we should..."
"Young master, hurry! There are monsters inside?!"
Before Jiang Lin could finish speaking, two of the Fox-eared girls cried out in fear and pulled Jiang Lin away.
"Hmm? Warcraft? Could this be the fox clan's latest tactic? Are they no longer content with staying in the temple?"
"Oh dear, young master, are you coming or not?! If you don't leave, we're leaving!"
"I..."
Just as Jiang Lin was about to say something, the door slammed shut...
In the darkness, two eyes slowly glowed...
"Don't be afraid, girls! I possess a Righteous Qi and will protect you!"
Jiang Lin shielded the two cat-eared... no, Fox-eared girls behind him, his Spiritual Power gathering in his eyes like Ultraman emitting two beams of light.
They stared at each other...
"Um?
Husky?
