I Might Be A Fake Cultivator

An Lin, Tina, and Liu Chuchu began their journey together.

Liu Chuchu had previously discovered a location on her map known as the Dark Sorcery Valley.

Using this valley as a reference, they were able to determine that they were located in the southwest region of the Ancient Tai Chu Realm.

They were currently flying in the northern direction toward a mountain called Pan Long Mountain, where there was a great chance for the Realm Essence Crystals to appear.

Liu Chuchu stood atop An Lin’s black brick, and her eyes glowed as if they could pierce through the space before them to see what lay in the extremely far distance. “The Pan Long Mountain is a region within the Ancient Tai Chu Realm where ancient dragons dwell at, and there’s a certain probability that the Realm Essence Crystals might have materialized in their bodies. Furthermore, within the region itself, there are also certain places with extremely high chances for the Realm Essence Crystals to appear. Due to these reasons, battles would frequently break out here, thus making this region an extremely dangerous place to be at.”

An Lin nodded and said, “Risk and reward come hand in hand.”

“One can only slay the tiger by entering the tiger’s den,” Tina chimed in. She had even mastered idioms within the short span of four hours. ¹

“Don’t worry. I’m at full health, so I ain’t scared of anyone,” An Lin said as he assured Liu Chuchu with a confident expression.

“I may be small, but I pack a punch!” Tina had even mastered the commonly-used jingles of the Tai Chu Language.

Liu Chuchu: “…”

Liu Chuchu pursed her lips as she listened to An Lin and Tina’s exchange.

She had heard a lot of rumors about An Lin, and she always felt like he was a bit different from her mental image of him.

A series of tall black mountains soon appeared before the three of them.

There was some sparse vegetation on the ground below, but they were all red plants, which appeared especially disconcerting against the background of the black mountain.

“You two protect me while I survey our surroundings to see if there are any enemies.” Liu Chuchu flew to the summit of the mountain[a]. Her pink dress fluttered in the wind like a vibrant peony blooming at the summit of the mountain.

Light flashed from her eyes, and her yellow irises became extremely sharp as she surveyed her surroundings.

An Lin stood guard beside her with a cautious expression.[b]

Using Eyes of the Kun Peng, Liu Chuchu’s maximal telescopic range was fifteen kilometers. This was an extremely fearsome range as most Soul Formation Stage cultivators could only detect things within a radius of several kilometers. Even cultivators at the Soul Formation Pinnacle Stage wouldn’t be able to detect things outside of a radius of five kilometers.

This essentially meant that if there were only one enemy unit, Liu Chuchu would be able to catch them off guard and snipe them one hundred percent of the time.

After fifteen minutes, Liu Chuchu faltered slightly as she continued to stare in one direction.

An Lin couldn’t help but inquire, “What is it? Did you find anything?”

Liu Chuchu didn’t reply. Instead, she brought out her longbow.

At that moment, she was like a death god who was able to harvest lives at whim. She appeared both otherworldly and extremely menacing at the same time.

Vital energy surged to materialize a pink arrow that emanated fearsome energy fluctuations.

“Divine Technique—Spatial Demon-Slaying Arrow!”

Whoosh!

The arrow shot forth, sweeping up gale-force winds in its wake.

The arrow instantly pierced through the air and into the distance before finally exploding like a vibrant ball of light at a location too far away for An Lin to see.

An Lin was full of excitement upon seeing this.

It was the first time he had seen someone snipe an enemy unit from such a long distance, and it was absolutely badass!

“Let’s go harvest our reward!”

Liu Chuchu leaped onto An Lin’s brick before pointing in a certain direction.

An Lin nodded and began steering the brick toward the site of the explosion.

There was a massive crater in the ground, which could be seen from over ten kilometers away, within which was a massive, charred headless corpse. An Lin could tell from the carcass that this was a creature with four thick and extremely powerful legs, and it had sharp spikes growing all over its body. This was clearly some sort of fearsome beast.

“This should be a soul beast from the Sinister Spirit Beast Cesspool.” Liu Chuchu stepped lightly toward the headless body before picking up a golden ring that was lying nearby, which was most likely the spatial device within which the creature carried its treasures.

“Done! I love murder and robbery more than anything!”

“It’s certainly a lot more stimulating than wandering around this realm for Realm Essence Crystals!” Liu Chuchu exclaimed.

An Lin nodded in agreement. He had accumulated his entire wealth from murder and robbery. Oh, and selling stuffed buns.

With a slightly sympathetic expression, he turned to the soul beast and said, “Sigh, this was a Soul Formation Stage soul beast, what a tragedy for it to die like this without even knowing how it had died…”

“This is what the current world is like; strength is the only universal law! There are enemies everywhere here, so it’s to kill or to be killed.” An unsettling, mature expression appeared on Liu Chuchu’s cute, intricate features.

An Lin nodded. He wasn’t someone to be bothered by things like this. Emperor Ziwei had told them prior to coming here that aside from the Buddhist Kingdom, the Garden of Eden, the Hall of Creation, the Dragon Court of the Eastern Seas, the North Cang Mountain Realm, and the Spirit Lake Realm, all the representatives from the other powers were their enemies.

Extending sympathy and mercy to your enemies was no different to giving them a chance to kill you.

Liu Chuchu stowed the spatial device away before continuing their hunt.

There were many representatives from opposing powers. Within six hours, Liu Chuchu sniped a double-headed bird from the Southern Heavenly Wing Nation as well as a Soul Formation Stage cultivator from the Dark Wing Tribe.

Both of them were running solo, so An Lin didn’t have anything to do except to cheer Liu Chuchu on, for which he received two storage rings worth of treasures…

He rummaged through the storage rings to find a hundred and five vital stones, seven spirit tools, around a dozen spirit pills, as well as twenty white and three green Realm Essence Crystals.

Unfortunately, there weren’t any golden Realm Essence Crystals.

As for Tina’s share, An Lin naturally held onto it for her.

After all, a tiny little thing like her needed an adult to look after her stuff for her.

Thus, the three of them obtained three storage rings with minimal fuss…

This was quite an enjoyable process, and all three of them were having a lot of fun.

Why should they work so hard to find Realm Essence Crystals? They could just wait for their enemies to find the Realm Essence Crystals for them, after which they would just commit murder and robbery to take not just their Realm Essence Crystals, but also everything within their storage rings…

Liu Chuchu once again stood at the summit of a tall mountain[c]. She scanned through her surroundings with her sharp eyes before resting her gaze on a certain point in the distance.

An Lin’s eyes immediately lit up. It looked like they had their next targets.

However, Liu Chuchu did not draw her bow this time. Instead, her brows furrowed slightly as if she was considering how best to proceed.

“What is it?” An Lin asked.

“I discovered members of the Blood Tribe in the distance, but there are five of them…” Liu Chuchu replied.

“Can’t you shoot them all at once?” An Lin asked curiously.

Liu Chuchu rolled her eyes. “What would I need you for if I could kill multiple targets at the same time?”

“Under normal circumstances, my Divine Technique—Dual Dragon-Slaying Arrow—has a certain probability of killing two Soul Formation Final Stage cultivators at once. However, those from the Blood Tribe are renowned for their powerful life-forces. If I want to kill them, I would have to use my Divine Spirit-Slaying Arrow, which is extremely taxing, and even then, I would only be able to kill one of them each time,” Liu Chuchu elaborated.

An Lin furrowed his brows slightly. There were five enemy units.

Liu Chuchu would be out of commission for a while after using her sure-kill technique, which meant that he and Tina would have to fight four Soul Formation Stage Blood Tribe cultivators at once. These weren’t just normal Soul Formation Stage Blood Tribe cultivators either, these were the most powerful Soul Formation Stage cultivators the Blood Tribe had to offer. It would be a little difficult to take on all four of them at once while protecting Liu Chuchu…

His eyes suddenly lit up when a thought occurred to him. “Can you shoot five arrows to strike all five of them at once?” An Lin asked.

“Yes, but the arrows will feel like BB gun pellets to them, what’s the point?”

Liu Chuchu rolled her eyes at An Lin again.

An Lin chuckled lightly and asked, “Have you heard about my ‘Poison Lord’ title?”

[a]there’s only one mountain right?

[b]i thought only liu chucu flew to the summit? An Lin was there as well?

[c]still same mountain?
