Seeking Immortality In The Cultivation World

On both sides of the main hall, dozens of tables had already been prepared, with one table per person, on which were placed spiritual tea, spiritual wine, fruits, and other items.

After everyone thanked and took their seats, they were led by the female cultivator to their respective places.

Whether it was unintentional or prearranged, Lin Xiu unexpectedly sat in a very prominent position, which made him feel a bit uneasy.

He glanced at the wealthy boss Qian with the corner of his eye, but unfortunately, there was a layer of spiritual energy surrounding his face, making it seem like he could see clearly, but when he turned his head, he couldn't remember what this person looked like.

"Spiritual Light Technique!"

A kind of spell similar to a veil, which can only be practiced by those above the Gold Core stage. Concealing one's true appearance is just one of its minor effects; it can also shield against the invasion of many poisonous miasmas.

This made Lin Xiu, who had been unlucky for twenty years because of a second-rank four-eyed poisonous lizard, unable to harm this person even when the poisonous mist was sprayed face to face.

Seeing everyone take their seats, Zhao Yijian scanned the people in the hall with a glance and shouted, "Pour the wine!"

Dozens of female cultivators entered in an orderly manner and quickly stood in front of each table. They picked up the wine jug and filled the spiritual wine, then made a gesture of invitation.

At this moment, Zhao Yijian raised his wine cup and said, "I am Zhao Yijian, representing my master to drink with all of you, praying for the prosperity and good fortune of my Qian family next year!"

Lin Xiu had just sat down when he stood up again, shouting a few words amidst the flattery of "prosperity and good fortune," and then sat back down.

"Start the dance!"

The eighteen beautiful female cultivators who had just followed Zhao Yijian appeared again and began a graceful dance. Although not as enchanting as the Endless Pleasure Sect and the Immortal Sound Pavilion, it was still very pleasing to the eye.

Lin Xiu smacked his lips. This wine was much stronger than his usual drinks, but it was only a small cup. However, it felt like absorbing a spiritual stone, and he didn't need to spend time refining it. It circulated a few times in his meridians and merged into his dantian.

"Lin Fu Shi, this is the 'Elemental Immortal Dew.' The family head only brings it out to entertain guests at gatherings. It is very helpful for cultivation."

A soft voice came into his ears. Lin Xiu then noticed that the female cultivator who had poured wine for him had already sat down next to him, and a certain part of her body was intentionally or unintentionally teasing his arm.

"Hmm?"

Lin Xiu turned his head to look at the female cultivator. She was quite attractive.

He discreetly glanced at the others present.

"Is there a problem?"

Not everyone had the same treatment as him. Apart from a few female attendants sitting next to a few people, the female cultivators responsible for pouring wine still wore fake smiles and stood upright.

There was a high-grade pill master, a high-grade artifact master, and a Foundation Building stage expert who specialized in making talismans, a very niche profession.

And then there was him!

"Is this an attempt to seduce and win me over?"

Lin Xiu took the wine cup poured by the female cultivator and drank it all in one go.

"It is indeed good wine. Thank you, Fellow Daoist."

The female cultivator pursed her lips and smiled, then handed him a fruit.

"This is the 'Grass Xuan Fruit,' picked by this servant herself. Please try it!"

Her whole body was practically leaning against Lin Xiu!

This was the Cave Mansion of that Gold Core cultivator. Without anyone's consent, how could a female cultivator dare to act like this?

He didn't think of himself as charming or having any irresistible charm towards women.

Cold sweat broke out on his back as he suddenly thought of a common method used by some sects to win over useful people.

That is, arranging a marriage!

Giving you a partner, whether you want it or not...

Dare he refuse?

Just think about the consequences of offending a Gold Core cultivator!

At best, he was only a first-grade high-level talisman master. Even if his talisman quality was slightly better, in that market, he was considered a rare breed. But for a family with a Gold Core cultivator, especially the Purple Cloud Sect, there were probably no less than five or six third-grade talisman masters, right?

Lin Xiu pondered, trying to find a way to decline this matter without offending the Qian family head.

If this had happened a few years ago, he would have gladly accepted such a good opportunity.

After all, even if I can't join the Purple Cloud Sect, the safety under the command of its Gold Core disciples can definitely be guaranteed.

But with the things that have been happening in recent years.

Especially after the conversation before Bai Yunshi left Qian Jue Peak, the idea of defection from the main sect is different.

Once it becomes true, a great battle of cultivation is almost inevitable.

The entire Thousand Despair Mountains will turn into a bloodbath!

To have the protection of a Gold Core...

Whether this Gold Core can survive is still uncertain!

He stole a glance at the high-ranking Qian family patriarch, who remained as calm as an old monk, only speaking a few words when he arrived and not saying anything else.

On the other hand, Zhao Yijian, who manages the miscellaneous affairs, and Qian's shopkeepers and the other three market shopkeepers, shuttle around various tables, enjoying drinks and chatting with the startled Independent Cultivators.

Being able to be a guest here, those talisman masters and pill masters are not simple-minded people and immediately noticed the difference.

Why are the maidservants around these few people more beautiful and well-proportioned than mine, as if they can be picked at will?

The one by my side is like a puppet?

The Independent Cultivators quickly understood the meaning behind this with a turn of their eyes, and each of them felt extremely uncomfortable.

Especially one of the Independent Cultivators who quickly advanced to the second stage of talisman mastery, stared at Lin Xiu's face with envy and confusion.

And those who received such treatment were secretly delighted, already sensing that they were about to receive treatment that many Independent Cultivators may never achieve in their lifetime.

Under the Gold Core's tutelage!

They also compared each other.

As a result, damn it!

Why does the maid named Lin Xiu look the most powerful?

Jealousy and confusion appeared in their eyes, along with a hint of resentment.

In this way, Lin Xiu unconsciously became the center of attention in the entire venue.

"Master Lin, have another drink!"

The female cultivator next to him had already shown a seductive posture, her almond-shaped eyes emitting a different light.

Seduction?

Unfortunately, she didn't practice it well, especially since Lin Xiu had a higher cultivation level than her.

"Fellow Daoist, please restrain yourself!"

The hidden aura of "Calm Mind Decision" penetrated into the female cultivator's ears.

The female cultivator immediately put away her seductive posture, her face full of fear, and her body trembling slightly.

The female cultivator considered herself the most outstanding among the many maidservants, and she had set her sights on Lin Xiu as soon as she received the task.

Since the choice of a partner cannot be absolute, why not choose someone pleasing to the eye?

So, relying on her highest cultivation level among the maidservants, she obtained the privilege of priority in choosing a partner.

But it seems like he didn't choose her...

Underneath her grievances, she also thought about the punishment she would face for not completing the task.

Her body couldn't help but tremble even more.

"Alas, we're all forced!"

Lin Xiu didn't pay attention to all this, just sighed.

Just as he was thinking about how to get away, Zhao Yijian had already walked to the table with a cup in his hand.

He glanced at the female cultivator and immediately understood that something was wrong.

He made a gesture, and the female cultivator trembled even more, bowing her head and leaving the main hall.

"Master Lin, is this maid not serving you well?"

As he spoke, he clinked glasses with Lin Xiu.

"Senior Zhao is joking. Who doesn't love a beautiful woman? It's just that her appearance is slightly inferior to the wives and concubines at home."

I can't appreciate this ugly monster, it wouldn't be right to force a match, right?
