The Romantic Cultivator

As the 300 Spartans marched into the forest again, Ji Yuan was taking the lead in front of them.

He was shouting words of encouragement to them, "You're all sons and daughters of the heavens. You are all blessed by the Great God Ji Yuan, the Great Cultivation God. No dangers will come to you because luck will always shine upon you. As long as you're united and move as a group, even a ninth rank desolate monster will be afraid of you. This is the power of your soul! Soul power is your strength!"

Fairy Anyang sighed heavily, "This is such a blatant lie. The next encounter with the desolate monsters will expose your lies."

Xiang Li was forced to agree as well. "Big Brother, do you really have a plan? What is the plan? Don't tell us, this is your plan?"

"No plan is the best plan?" Fairy Anyang offered a helpful suggestion.

Ji Yuan laughed, "I do have a plan and a good plan."

Xiang Li asked curiously, "What is it?"

Ji Yuan turned to look at Xiang Li solemnly, "I'm not training them to be true cultivators. They're hopeless. So I'm training you to become a true cultivator instead."

Xiang Li was startled and returned a perplexed look, "But Big Brother, I'm useless."

Ji Yuan laughed, "You may be useless but you are not hopeless."

"What is the difference?" Xiang Li asked curiously.

"Stop interrupting me, Xiang Li." Ji Yuan frowned. "Do you want to hear my plan or not?"

Xiang Li nodded slowly while Fairy Anyang smiled, "I am curious to know as well."

Ji Yuan turned to look at the mortal cultivators who were marching behind him, "You will soon know."

These mortal cultivators were not all simpletons and many were curiously asking;

"Where the 100 pushups?"

"Where the 100 sit ups?"

"Where is the 100 squats?"

"Where is the 10 miles run?"

"No body strengthening training?"

"We only have a 3 day meditation to prepare us…"

"Isn't our training too easy?"

"Great God Ji Yuan says we won't be encountering any more desolate monsters from this point onward because we are all the sons and daughters of the heavens…"

"He looks like a charlatan to me…"

"Where I come from, there is a god by the name of Loki. He has a handsome face too. Maybe he is Loki in disguise and he is just trying to play a trick on us…"

"But he is the handsomest man that I've ever seen so he must be a trustworthy person…"

"Looks can be deceiving…"

"Does all the women here only look at the looks?"

"There must be a plot, a conspiracy or a twist!"

"Maybe this is the Liar Game?"

"Or the Life or Death Game?"

"I am prepare to run back to the safe zone at the first sign of danger…"

"Yea, me too…"

"I'm with you for sure…"

Ji Yuan did not care what they were muttering. Although he could sense their fear but the main point was, he had managed to get their butts moving and that was actually the most important point to him.

So he shouted, "Spartans! Forward!"

A woman cultivator asked, "Can a woman be a Spartan warrior too? I've never heard of it back to where I am from…"

"This is a parallel isekai world so don't mind the small technicalities…"

Ji Yuan was now saying to Xiang Li and Fairy Anyang, "Did you all sense it? There are desolate beasts that are near us now."

Xiang Li and Fairy Anyang nodded as they sung in chorus, "This group is going to see their maker soon…"

"Not so." Ji Yuan grinned as he looked at Xiang Li, "Now it is the time for you to become a true cultivator."

Xiang Li: ???

"Xiang Li, I want you to take on your physical form and go kick the desolate beasts' asses." Ji Yuan said solemnly.

"But Big Brother, I'm useless. Do I have the profound strength?" Xiang Li asked nervously.

"They are only first rank to fourth rank desolate beasts. While I am struck in this spirit form but you're still able to draw upon my spiritual sea. That means on paper, you're also a great saintess. Even though you don't have any profound arts but one kick from you is still going to hurt most of the asses of the desolate beasts hard."

"And moreover, you've got one advantage that you can make full use of." Ji Yuan grinned.

Xiang Li asked curiously, "What is it?"

"Your stealth. In your spirit form, these desolate beasts can't sense you fast enough and you will be able to able to kick their asses and they can't even hurt you even if you are able to go close to them." Ji Yuan explained.

Xiang Li looked a little afraid. "But these desolate monsters all have strong profound strength. They may be able to injure me."

Even if Xiang Li is in spirit form, she can be injured by profound energies easily. In fact, she is quite vulnerable to it.

"According to the information that I've, none of the desolate monsters here are capable of exerting any profound energies and their profound strength won't be able to affect you too much because you are a great saintess. Remember you've the strength of my profound recovery." Ji Yuan explained further.

Xiang Li nodded slowly, "But I've a condition, Big Brother. Or else I won't do it."

Ji Yuan frowned, "You and me are one now. My successes are your successes and my failures are your failures. Do you need to negotiate a condition with me?"

"But I am afraid, Big Brother. So I need a motivation." Xiang Li giggled.

"Alright then." Ji Yuan heaved a soft sigh of resignation. "I will do more bang, bang for you. What do you say?"

Xiang Li shook her head, "That is not what I want."

"Oh?" Ji Yuan said with a deep growl. "Then what is it that you want so that you can have the 'motivation'?"

Xiang Li giggled, "I want to be Big Brother's main consort."

Ji Yuan: …

Ji Yuan: …

Ji Yuan: …

Not only did Ji Yuan's jaws dropped to the ground, Fairy Anyang was also stunned on the spot…
