I Might Be A Fake Cultivator

Elder Fate was having an internal breakdown. He couldn’t see An Lin’s fate at all!

When he probed into Xu Xiaolan’s fate with the Palace of Heaven, what he came across was an obstruction formed by a powerful karma barrier. As for An Lin’s fate right now, what he came across was a mystical and incomprehensible mist.

He couldn’t even predict whether An Lin was going to eat tomorrow, let alone his fate in love.

How come it’s like this…? This doesn’t make any sense…

Am I unable to predict it because his cultivation base is too high? But the rank of this male is only Spirit Nurturing Initial Stage…

The more Elder Fate thought about it, the more strange it all felt, and the more panicked he became.

Seeing Elder Fate’s strange expression, An Lin thought that his journey in love would be a bumpy ride which was full of frustrations. Thus, he also became nervous and tense. “How is it? When am I going to get a Dao partner?”

Elder Fate secretly gulped. He felt that if he told the truth, he would definitely be taken as a scammer. At that time, perhaps the forty thousand spirit stones would also be snatched back by them.

Should I amuse him with a lie?

Elder Fate mulled over this for a while. Then, he cleared his throat and said, “The mountains are colorful from a distance, the fountains are silent from up close. Young lad, your predestined relationship is not far! Transcend three tribulations together over one hundred years, for that is the only way your hearts will cherish one another. You and her will be a pair of Dao partners who others all envy greatly…”

Without a doubt, Elder Fate’s bullsh*tting ability was top-notch. Regardless of whether this was the truth or not, An Lin was already beaming in delight anyway. He felt like those ten thousand spirit stones were spirit stones well spent.

Just like that, An Lin and Xu Xiaolan left the Palace of Life.

Initially, An Lin had still wanted to have Elder Fate tell another fortune. Unexpectedly though, Elder Fate directly turned his request down. He said that each person could only have one fortune told, and he told them to leave immediately. An Lin had no choice but to leave in slight disappointment.

“Xiaolan, do you think this old man’s predictions are accurate?” An Lin asked giddily.

“Ah.” Xu Xiaolan’s head was bowed, and her pretty face was blushed a slight shade of red. “It’s probably accurate,” she replied seriously. “They can’t have set up an independent fortune-telling palace just to scam money. That would be far too immoral.”

An Lin nodded in earnest agreement. “My predestined relationship is going to arrive within one hundred years~ To be honest, I’m quite happy with this time span. It’s not too long and it’s not too short.”

Xu Xiaolan also nodded. “One hundred years is enough to develop a clear understanding of a person. It’s also enough time to find a person who you can stay with forever.”

“An Lin, what’s your ideal Dao partner like?” She raised her head and looked toward An Lin with her bright and tender eyes.

An Lin exchanged a glance with Xu Xiaolan, and his heartbeat quickened. He quickly averted his gaze.

No, I must remain calm! Now will be too rash. I’ll lose Celestial Maiden Lanlan.

“Um… I’m still young,” An Lin said in excuse. “I haven’t thought about such things before.”

“Yeah, you’re still so young. Why are you thinking about such distant things? At this age, you should be visiting brothels with this prodigal dog, woof!” Da Bai forcefully interrupted their conversation and said this boldly and assuredly.

Xu Xiaolan: “…”

“An Lin, you’ve been to brothels before?”

“Never in my life!”An Lin hurriedly said. “Why would I ever go to brothels?!”

A sinister grin spread across Da Bai’s face. “Have you forgotten Spring River House’s Sister Lan Yue? Woof?”

“Holy f*ck! Da Bai, you actually have the face to say this? I only went there because I wanted to drag you out! Otherwise, do you think I would have gone there?” An Lin’s veins were bulging in anger. He clenched his fists and was just about to teach Da Bai a lesson.

Seeing this, Da Bai fled like the wind.

“Don’t run!” An Lin roared as he chased behind Da Bai.

“Come chase me~” Da Bai shouted as he ran. “If you catch me, I’ll let you, hehehe…”

Xu Xiaolan: “…”

She pinched her eyebrows. So… An Lin has been to brothels before?

Da Bai was eventually caught by An Lin and given a pummeling.

After beating up Da Bai, they continued forward and arrived at the Palace of Yellow.

By the looks of it, the last four palaces were almost certainly going to be “Heaven, Earth, Black, and Yellow”.

In fact, An Lin felt that the owner of this tomb could’ve added another “Universe, Eternity, Chaos and Desolation ¹ ” set. Thinking over this for a moment, however, he realized that this would be too domineering. It was understandable why Winged Dragon Shen Yin didn’t add this set of palaces.

Before entering this palace, An Lin released Gundam One and Gundam Two and had them walk at the front of their group.

These thick-skinned and powerful mechanical puppets were best for spearheading risky ventures like this.

After opening the palace door, an extremely oppressive aura swept out from within the palace. It was like a mountain bearing down upon them, and the crushing might it possessed was suffocating.

Gundam One and Gundam Two immediately activated their Ion Blocking Defensive Barrier and blocked out that crushing pressure.

The tomb keeper in this palace tried to crush them with his aura as soon as they opened the door. By the looks of it, he was not so friendly.

“If you want Shen Yin’s inheritance, then f*ck off to the Palace of Heaven! Don’t come here to annoy me!” A rugged voice boomed, and it caused the surrounding air to tremble.

An Lin focused his gaze. Before them stood a red-haired male. He was topless, revealing his solid, bronze-colored muscles.

There were even red flames enveloping this male, and this made him appear especially overbearing and intimidating.

An Lin mustered his courage and asked, “Senior, what do you have here then?”

“Heh…” The crimson-haired male regarded An Lin coldly. “I have a Fire Spirit Vital Bead. It’s located right here. Do you think you have the ability to retrieve it?”

The male slapped his chest above where the heart was located. His lips curled up into a provocative smile.

An Lin understood. The previous easy mode had now transitioned into a “kill beasts, loot treasures” mode.

Both he and Xu Xiaolan were feeling a little hesitant. This male was clearly a powerful cultivator of the Soul Formation Stage. Judging by the aura he emitted, he was at least of the Soul Formation Intermediate Stage. Perhaps he had even reached the Soul Formation Final Stage.

If they really ended up fighting, then this would definitely be a dangerous battle.

Ding Dong!

The Special Missions tab of the system suddenly started flashing.

An Lin immediately focused his attention and opened up the system in his mind.

“Detected that host has encountered a Fire Spirit Vital Bead, now assigning the mission below:

“Absorb all the fire essence energy within the Fire Spirit Vital Bead.

“Mission success: Receive fire element technique—First Stage Wings of True Fire.

“Mission failure: Become paralyzed for a month. During this period, vital energy cannot be used.

“Time limit: Two hours.”

An Lin winced when he saw this mission.

It seemed like the system would never be able to change its sh*tty habit of forcing him to go to wherever was the most dangerous.

Right now, he only had two choices.

He could either choose to fight like a man, or he could choose to be a coward and become paralyzed for a month.

M-hm… If he chose to fight, there was a terrifying prospect of him getting killed by that red-haired brute.

“So, are you going to fight me or not? If not, then hurry up and get lost!” The red-haired male was becoming impatient, and even the flames dancing around his body became more rampant and aggressive.

“I’ll fight!” An Lin steeled his heart and finally made a decision. “Xu Xiaolan, don’t interfere in our fight. I’ll deal with him myself. Then, that Fire Spirit Vital Bead will belong to me.”

Xu Xiaolan didn’t care much about that Fire Spirit Vital Bead or whatnot. Her Vermilion Bird Sect had plenty of these types of fire elemental objects.

However, she was a bit worried about An Lin. “You really don’t need my help?”

An Lin shook his head and smiled. “I really don’t need it.”

He unsheathed his Evil-Slaying Sword and took a step forward. His aura burst out unreservedly.

“Oh? Although you’re very weak, your display just then was quite manly…” The red-haired brute chuckled and also let rip his aura. The red flames surrounding his body also roared and raged.

This male’s aura was immensely terrifying. He had already reached the Soul Formation Final Stage.

His powerful aura pounded into An Lin’s body, causing his muscles to tremble uncontrollably.

“Gundam One, Gundam Two, you two spearhead the attack!

“Da Bai, Xiao Chou, you two provide support!”

An Lin stood at the rear and yelled out instructions.

Da Bai’s big watery eyes widened. “Then what’s Big Brother An going to do, woof?”

An Lin cleared his throat and said calmly, “I’m the commander!”

Da Bai: “…”

Xiao Chou: “…”

Xu Xiaolan: “…”

Red-haired male: “…”
