I Might Be A Fake Cultivator

The two of them quickly came to an agreement. Xu Xiaolan would act as An Lin’s bodyguard in exchange for 100000 spirit stones.

…

That night, An Lin and Da Bai stayed in the Vermilion Tower.

“Shocking news! A mysterious male has fearlessly charged into the Vermilion Bird Sect, first roasting Mo Hai, then flying off with Goddess Xiaolan like a pair of lovers!” Sure enough, this news swept through the entire Vermilion Bird Sect in less than half a day.

Even when he walked out of his room and stood in the corridor, An Lin would attract the gazes of countless disciples and servants.

They all wanted to see for themselves what kind of superhuman this male was, what with his astounding actions and all…

An Lin sighed softly. It appeared as if living in these powerful cultivation sects was also extremely boring. Otherwise, why would they all gossip about such trifles?

Raising his head and looking toward the distant Holy Vermilion Flame, he gradually became absent-minded.

At night, the holy flame would emit a beautiful white glow which appeared both holy and magnificent.

Like a lighthouse, it could guide the way for disciples, letting them understand that this was their home.

…

Within the Vermilion Bird Sect, there was a lofty golden tower. A middle-aged man with crimson hair and a crimson beard sat in this tower and was currently enjoying a Dragon Fruit.

This Dragon Fruit was a Third-Rank Spirit Fruit, and there were miniature flame dragons swimming on top of its flesh.

Every bite of it was insanely spicy, and the pure power of the flames was also swallowed into the male’s belly along with the flesh of the fruit.

“Ah… amazing!”

It had been a long time since the male last enjoyed a dragon fruit. This was an extremely valuable and rare fruit.

At this moment, a red-robed youth walked in and knelt down on one knee. “Elder Zhu, the matter has been thoroughly investigated!”

“Uh-huh, go on,” the male who was referred to as Elder Zhu kept eating his dragon fruit as he replied.

“Brother Mo Hai was injured by a monkey of the Spirit Nurturing Final Stage. However, this was at his own request. The black flame released by this monkey did indeed have a purity of over ninety percent. His master is An Lin, and he’s a classmate of Sister Xu. Also, An Lin was riding on a gigantic white dog. This dog is also his pet beast and has an elder’s badge of our sect.” The red-robed youth reported the investigation results to Elder Zhu.

Elder Zhu nodded as he listened to the youth’s report. At the end, however, he raised his eyebrows slightly. “Oh? This dog actually has an elder’s badge? Whose badge is it?”

“Um… The badge has the word ‘Zhu’ on it,” the youth replied honestly.

“Cough, cough!” Elder Zhu choked on the dragon fruit.

Do you know what it feels like to choke on an insanely spicy pepper?

“Water! Cough… Water, hurry up and bring me water!” Elder Zhu wailed.

…

After drinking a bucket of water and ingesting ten Cooling and Refreshing Pills, Elder Zhu collapsed into a chair. He waved at the youth, signaling for him to leave.

“The giant white dog has my badge? It can’t be Bai Xian’s son, right?”

Elder Zhu’s face was filled with a look of disbelief. “Heavens! Bai Xian is actually willing to let his son become a pet beast?! No… Even that monkey who wields a divine flame has become that male’s pet beast. Could it be that there really is something special about that An Lin?”

Elder Zhu felt that he had far too little information on An Lin. He still needed to investigate more thoroughly.

M-hm. For the sake of his niece, Xu Xiaolan, he needed to take this matter seriously.

…

The second day, however, another shocking piece of news reached him. This news made Elder Zhu jump up in alarm.

Shocking news! The mysterious male has escaped from the Vermilion Bird Sect with Goddess Xu!

This news was divulged by a source who didn’t want to be named. All the person revealed was their surname, Lan. This news was quickly verified.

…

One day later.

In the Heavenly River State located in the southeast of the Kingdom of the Nine States.

Bringing with it a golden glow, a gigantic black brick flew through the skies.

“Pong!”

“Pong!”

“Kong!”

“Haha.”

“Pure straight! Mahjong!”

An Lin laughed heartily and raked in another pile of spirit stones.

Next to the mahjong table, Xu Xiaolan sighed in despair, Xiao Chou scratched his head in frustration, and Da Bai had a dejected look.

An Lin was indeed worthy of being called the ‘Overlord of Mahjong’. They were skeptical at first, but now they were suffering.

On this day, he had won thousands of spirit stones.

As for the others, Xu Xiaolan suffered a small loss, whilst Da Bai and Xiao Chou suffered huge losses.

Xiao Hong stood to the side, swaying her bright red head and happily performing photosynthesis.

“The large pinwheel creaks as it revolves. The scenery here is so nice and beautiful. The sky is beautiful, the earth is beautiful. I even have friends with whom I can play and be joyful…”

An Lin taught her this song, and she could sing it all day long!

The Abyss of Evil was near the southeast border of the Kingdom of the Nine States. It also acted as a natural barrier between the Nine States and the Ant Tribe.

The Ant Tribe was also a relatively well-known tribe of the Tai Chu Continent. They had few powerful members, but could reproduce extremely fast. This tribe was so great in number that it was impossible to kill them all.

If it wasn’t for the birth control that they had in place, they would probably chew up their entire country’s land by themselves.

The Ant Tribe had terrible relations with the humans of the Kingdom of the Nine States.

If it wasn’t for the Abyss of Evil and the beast tribes of the west, they would probably fight with the Nine States all year long just like the snow maidens did.

“Look! The Abyss of Evil is just ahead!” Xiao Hong swayed her body and shouted tenderly.

Hearing this, An Lin and the others looked ahead. What appeared before them was an abyss which spanned thousands of feet in width and stretched as far as their eyes could see.

The sun was beating down brightly, yet this scar on the continent remained pitch-black and terrifying. It looked as if it was going to swallow all the light and radiance of the world.

Soon after, they arrived above the abyss.

“Are we going to descend directly into the abyss?”

Looking down at the deep and dark fissure, Xu Xiaolan raised a question.

An Lin nodded. “Xiao Chou, switch on your searchlights!”

Xiao Chou: “…”

Clang!

Two brilliant beams of light suddenly burst from Xiao Chou’s golden eyes. Like powerful searchlights, they shone down into the abyss.

“Wow! So impressive!” Xu Xiaolan exclaimed.

Just like that, the black brick slowly descended.

Everyone became focused, entering a state of combat readiness.

Apart from a small number of sinister devils, the Abyss of Evil was also home to many sinister and savage mutant beasts. They lurked in the darkness and would suddenly leap out from the shadows to give one a fatal blow.

The deeper they traveled, the gloomier it became.

Looking up, the sky was a thin band of white which gradually became narrower and narrower.

Xiao Hong once again hid in An Lin’s pocket, observing secretly.

“We still haven’t reached the bottom yet? It feels like we’ve already descended a few thousand meters.” Xu Xiaolan was quite afraid of the dark, and she spoke uneasily at this moment.

Xiao Chou shook his head. “Not yet. My searchlights still haven’t hit the bottom. There’s still at least another few thousand meters.”

“Third Brother, you’ve finally admitted that your eyes are searchlights, woof!”

Xiao Chou: “…”

Just like that, they descended another thousand meters.

Here, the air was chilly and damp. There was also so little light that it may as well have been completely pitch-black.

Xiao Chou’s searchlights still hadn’t reached the bottom.

They had already descended two thousand meters below the surface.

Three thousand meters.

Four thousand meters.

Eight thousand meters.

…

The air became extremely thin.

If they weren’t cultivators, perhaps they would have already died due to suffocation.

Looking up, the sky had become a thin thread of white.

Due to the protrusion of the rocks as well as the uneven bulges of the rock strata, this white thread was already barely visible.

It was pitch-black and completely silent.

Occasionally, the dripping of water could be heard. Otherwise, the only noise left was the sounds of their slow breathing.

“We’ve arrived, I can already see the bottom!” Xiao Chou suddenly announced.

Hearing this, everyone involuntarily heaved a sigh of relief.

After descending tens of thousands of meters, they finally reached the bottom!
