Chapter 34: Please be decent, Miss!
Although she was repulsed by the city lord’s gaze, Liu Mei forced herself to endure the disgust and nodded, “The city lord naturally has an immortal connection, otherwise why would we have come here?”
“However, in order to determine the extent of this connection, we need to test it with this spirit test stone to see if you can ascend the mountain to cultivate.”
She held out her hand, revealing a transparent gem, and smiled, “Brother Lin, go ahead and test the City Lord’s spirit.”
Lin Fengmian knew that she couldn’t stand the city lord any longer, so he suppressed his laughter and nodded in agreement.
The eager city lord rushed down, surprisingly agile for his size.
“Please place your hand on the Spirit Testing Stone,” Lin Fengmian instructed.
The fat city lord placed his hand on the stone, but it showed no reaction.
He was confused, “Immortal, is the stone broken?”
“No, it hasn’t. If someone with an immortal connection places their hand on it, it will light up,” Liu Mei tactfully explained.
“The city lord need not be disappointed. Those of us on the path to immortality sever our worldly ties and distance ourselves from the mundane, which may not be as fulfilling as the city lord’s life.”
She took a bottle of elixirs from her storage pouch and handed it over.
“These are some elixirs for longevity and strengthening the body. Please accept them.”
Zhou Hongfu was disappointed at first, but he brightened up at the sight of the elixirs, “Thank you for your kind gesture, Fairy Liu. If you need any help, please don’t hesitate to ask.”
Liu Mei smiled, “We plan to select disciples in your town. Within three days, anyone under the age of thirty, regardless of gender, can come for the test.”
“If there are any suitable candidates in the city lord’s household, they will be given priority. We hope the city lord can facilitate this!”
“Of course, it’s convenient. I’ll arrange it right away,” the city lord said with a smile.
That evening, the city lord hosted a banquet to entertain Lin Fengmian and the others.
During the banquet, Liu Mei and the others chatted fluently without raising any suspicion.
The city lord suddenly asked, “It is said that cultivators have special dual cultivation techniques. Do Fairy Liu and the others know them?”
Liu Mei and the others were initially startled, thinking that they had revealed something. However, they realized that the fat man was just leering at them out of lust.
They couldn’t help but be speechless, “The city lord is joking. We practice orthodox Daoist methods, follow the path of purity and restraint, and do not know such techniques.”
The city lord was very disappointed and looked at them regretfully.
Lin Fengmian didn’t expect the city lord to know about dual cultivation techniques, thinking that he was quite knowledgeable.
Each of these women, except for Xia Yunxi, was an expert in this field and could drain all the fat from him.
At night, Lin Fengmian and the others were accommodated in a quiet part of the city lord’s residence.
Since they were supposedly from a righteous sect, they couldn’t stay together.
Lin Fengmian, like the other oblivious disciples, felt a bit of regret for the first time.
It seemed like he wouldn’t be able to sleep with Xia Yunxi tonight.
The next morning, many townspeople gathered in the town square, discussing things in a lively manner.
After all, someone had seen the immortals fly in yesterday, and the city lord had announced that the immortals were here to recruit disciples, inviting anyone who was eligible to sign up.
Naturally, this aroused the curiosity of the townspeople, who came to watch and discuss.
At that moment, someone suddenly shouted in surprise, “Look, immortals!”
Everyone looked up and saw nine streaks of light, each treading on different magical treasures, with handsome men and beautiful women descending like immortals.
Many naive residents knelt down and called out to the immortals.
These were Lin Fengmian and the others, who were showing off as they landed on the stage that had already been prepared.
Liu Mei stood at the front and said quietly, “We are disciples of the Jade Tree Sect, here on the orders of our elders to recruit disciples. We hope the townspeople will actively participate, and we will select the best.”
“They really are immortals!”
“Fairy, can we still cultivate at our age?”
“Fairy, do you think I’m suitable…”
…
Seeing the enthusiastic response, Liu Mei smiled slightly, performed a spell, and pointed to a city well.
The townspeople only heard gurgling sounds, and a water arrow flew out of the well, turning into a water phoenix that circled above them.
The phoenix was clear and transparent, lifelike, glittering in the sunlight, attracting attention.
Liu Mei threw a few elixirs, which the water phoenix caught, then let out a clear cry and dove into the city well.
“It is fate that we passed through your city. I’ve added some elixirs to the town well. Drinking more can prolong your life. I hope it can benefit the people here.”
This move stunned the ordinary residents, and no one doubted their identities anymore, and they all rushed to the square.
Fortunately, the city lord had provided guards, so the situation didn’t get out of hand.
Those who didn’t meet the age requirement ran to the city’s wells and competed to draw water, causing the water level to drop significantly.
Lin Fengmian and the others each held a spirit test stone to test the spirits of the residents, and they encountered all kinds of people.
Lin Fengmian looked at a middle-aged man with a grim face and asked, “Brother, are you really under twenty?”
The man chuckled, “Immortal, I just look a little mature.”
“Drag him out, drag him out, his kid can already make soy sauce.” The guards angrily dragged the man out.
…
“Immortal, how could I not have an immortal connection? Please test again…”
A seductive woman, after failing the test, undressed halfway, revealing her assets and casting flirtatious glances at Lin Fengmian.
Lin Fengmian forced a smile, “Please be decent, Miss!”
Such things are better done at night, how can I agree to this during the day?
…
While they were busy, Liu Mei and the others weren’t idle either. They randomly helped some townspeople with serious illnesses, earning them a good reputation.
Blind elders regained their sight in their hands, disabled children became lively and energetic under their treatment, it was incredible.
The townspeople were shocked, calling them gods and immortals, and the news spread like wildfire, with excellent results.
Xia Yunxi looked at the grateful crowd and couldn’t help but smile softly, like a fairy.
Lin Fengmian wasn’t surprised to see her smile like that, but when he saw Liu Mei smiling warmly as well, he couldn’t help but feel a bit dazed.
This demoness, as Xia Yunxi said, isn’t that bad?
After a day of testing, they tested over a thousand people and actually found three men with spiritual roots.
The spiritual roots of these three men weren’t much better than Lin Fengmian’s, since they were mixed spiritual roots.
However, in the eyes of others, these three had ascended overnight, making them the envy of many.
Lin Fengmian and the others were exhausted, so they arranged for the three new disciples to stay at the city lord’s residence to rest.
Liu Mei came in from outside and said to Lin Fengmian, “Fengmian, help me deliver these beauty pills to the city lord’s wife and concubines and check if they have spiritual roots.”
