"The Dong Lin Sect is known for being mysterious among the nine sects of Shi San. I wonder if there is an Empyrean Exalt cultivator inside!" There was very little information about the Dong Lin Sect from the tortoise shell and the map jade Wang Lin had obtained.
This was related to the fact that very few people from the sect went out to communicate.
"Since this sect can be ranked among the nine sects of Shi San, it must be extraordinary. However, even if there is an Empyrean Exalt cultivator, it doesn't matter."
Wang Lin pondered a bit and his divine sense spread out. He was about to head toward the Dong Lin Sect according to the map, but just as he took a step, he was startled.
As his divine sense spread out, he vaguely felt a familiar fluctuation from a mortal city tens of thousands of kilometers away. This fluctuation was the seal he had placed on all the reincarnated people in the cave world. It was impossible to detect it from far away, but if it wasn't far away, he could feel it with his divine sense.
"This fluctuation, who could it be …" Wang Lin revealed a smile and a hint of anticipation. He didn't know which old friend this fluctuation belonged to, just like when he sensed Zhou Yi and Qing Shuang outside the Earth Gate.
He could only sense it, but if he didn't see it with his own eyes, it would be difficult to know who it was.
After all, the seal from back then was placed uniformly, so there weren't many differences.
A happy smile appeared on Wang Lin's face. To be able to meet an old friend in this strange land, no matter who it was, would make Wang Lin feel a rare sense of joy.
His body flickered and he changed his mind about going to the Dong Lin Sect. Instead, he flew toward the mortal city tens of thousands of kilometers away.
With his cultivation level, he could cross tens of thousands of kilometers in the blink of an eye. As he got closer to the city, the fluctuation became even stronger. When Wang Lin arrived above the city, he looked down at a white-haired old man with the air of a sage and a hint of pride on his face. Wang Lin's expression became strange.
This old man was where the fluctuation of the seal came from!
Even without the fluctuation, as long as Wang Lin saw the white-haired old man's familiar face, he would immediately recognize him!
"Liu Jinbiao!" Wang Lin's expression became even more strange and he revealed a smile.
"This Liu Jinbiao comprehended the dao of deception, but I didn't expect him to also walk this path after reincarnation …" With Wang Lin's knowledge and understanding of Liu Jinbiao, he was able to guess Liu Jinbiao's goal, who was surrounded by nearly 100 mortals.
Looking at Liu Jinbiao's well-hidden pride and the respectful mortals around him, Wang Lin couldn't help but smile even wider. However, this smile contained a hint of bitterness from a headache.
"Deceiving mortals … This Liu Jinbiao is someone who can deceive cultivators in the cave world. Why is he deceiving mortals here?
There were cultivation fluctuations on his body. After all these years, he had actually cultivated to the Golden Elixir realm.
With this level of cultivation, how could he deceive mortals? I wonder what he's thinking. "
As Wang Lin watched, he frowned and pondered a bit. He didn't immediately go down to awaken Liu Jinbiao's memory but stood in the sky to see how he would trick Liu Jinbiao.
If he didn't want to be discovered, very few people would be able to see his figure in the sky.
After entering the city, Liu Jinbiao's heart suddenly trembled, and he gaped. He had a bad feeling. This feeling came too suddenly, something he had never felt before. It was as if it came from his soul. He cautiously looked around, then at the sky. Liu Jinbiao blinked a few times in astonishment.
"Strange, why do I suddenly have this feeling … This feeling, it's actually the same as when a child is at anchor and sees an adult … Strange.
Liu Jinbiao frowned and suppressed the doubts in his heart. Fortunately, this feeling only lasted for a moment.
Three days passed in the blink of an eye. During those three days, many famous people brought their children to Liu Jinbiao. Liu Jinbiao looked at them kindly, then left on the fourth day, taking five children with him.
Among them, there were three boys and two girls. The oldest was Shi San, and the youngest was eight years old.
As the people respectfully and excitedly sent them off, Liu Jinbiao brought the five children to sit on the palanquin while the others carried the children into the sky.
During those three days, Wang Lin watched Liu Jinbiao's actions with a frown on his face.
'Just what is Liu Jinbiao trying to do? He didn't swindle any money and just left with five children who can cultivate … These five children might have some potential, but none of the celestial sects will take a fancy to them!
'If he has any ill intentions, I won't forgive him!' Wang Lin's expression was calm as he followed Liu Jinbiao in the sky at a moderate pace.
Liu Jinbiao sat on the palanquin in the sky with joy on his face. Occasionally, he swept his gaze past the five children, and a barely noticeable excitement appeared in his eyes.
'I didn't expect that there would be five suitable people in this city. Haha, this is good. I'll definitely earn a lot!'
When he swept his gaze past the five children, they immediately became nervous, but at the same time, they were filled with anticipation. They longed to enter the celestial sect and become immortals. This was not only their wish, but also the dream of their parents and relatives.
Several days later, Liu Jinbiao's palanquin stopped outside a mountain range in the Great Sage Continent. He stood up with a dignified expression and looked at his followers.
"All of you wait here for my return."
The four burly men carrying the palanquin, as well as the surrounding children holding treasures, all hurriedly said yes. The four burly men had Foundation Establishment cultivation bases. As for the children, most of them were at the Qi Condensation stage. Most of them had been taught immortal cultivation by Liu Jinbiao, and then cultivated on their own.
Liu Jinbiao's body swayed and he brought the five children with him. He turned into a gust of black wind and disappeared into the mountain range in the blink of an eye.
Wang Lin watched Liu Jinbiao's actions from the air. His expression was a bit gloomy as he followed.
The black wind that Liu Jinbiao had turned into flew through the mountain range for a while and then appeared in a remote valley. This valley wasn't big, and there were some caves inside. Liu Jinbiao sat down cross-legged inside one of the caves and let the five children sit across from him.
Liu Jinbiao's eyes lit up and his expression became serious as he looked at the five children before him.
The five children immediately became extremely nervous when he looked at them like this. Their faces turned pale, but they clenched their teeth and didn't cry.
"That's right. In truth, the Old Man didn't tell you the truth in front of your family. You five children's talent is very average and can only cultivate a little. The reason the Old Man chose you is because you all have strong wills!
"Ordinary talent is nothing to be afraid of for cultivators. Having a strong heart is extremely important!"
The five children nervously looked at Liu Jinbiao and remained silent.
Also silent was Wang Lin, who no one could see. He looked at Liu Jinbiao and waited for him to continue.
"Liu Jinbiao, I don't care if you lie to cultivators, but if you lie to these children … then I'm very disappointed!"
Wang Lin silently thought.
Liu Jinbiao suddenly said, "I'm a swindler!"
The moment he said this, the five children were completely stunned. Even Wang Lin was startled.
Liu Jinbiao's expression didn't change as he looked at the five children and slowly said, "I'm a swindler. I lied to your family and brought you here!"
His words were shocking, and the five children didn't know how to react. They stared at Liu Jinbiao in a daze.
"However …" Liu Jinbiao faintly smiled. His gaze swept the children as he continued to speak.
"However, I can let you join the Great Sage Sect, but you have to decide for yourselves. First of all, with your talent, you won't be able to pass the sect's test and be accepted as a disciple. Although you have some talent, it will be very difficult for you to have much development.
"Based on my understanding of the various sects in the Great Sage Sect, they won't accept you and won't waste their time on you.
I'm not lying to you about this. "
Liu Jinbiao paused after saying this.
Wang Lin looked at this scene thoughtfully. He knew what Liu Jinbiao meant when he said there was no anchor. With the talent of these children, it would be very difficult for them to be accepted by the immortal sects.
"However, I have a method here that can make your talent as easy as crossing the sea. You can fool the cultivators who will test you to enter the sect, and you can even make your talent look very outstanding!
"However, this is fake. If you don't perform well after entering the sect and are investigated again, you will be discovered. At that time, your lives won't be in danger, and most of you won't be expelled from the sect. You will just be at the bottom of the sect.
That's why I said before that talent isn't important. What's important is your determination! "
Liu Jinbiao spoke slowly as he looked at the five children before him.
"As for me, I will use you as my support. Once you enter the sect, because your talent is good, I will exchange for some things I need. The better your talent is, the better the treatment you will receive in the beginning. The quality of the things I exchange for will also be better, but with this talent, there is a higher chance that you will be exposed.
"I will help you enter the immortal sect by deceiving everyone. Once you enter the sect, all the opportunities will be up to you, and I will earn some from it. This is what I should do.
"However, you must consider this carefully. If you don't agree, then I will wipe away your memories and send you back to your families. If you agree, then you can choose what kind of talent you want to enter the sect. Excellent, excellent, ordinary. These are the three choices!
"I suggest that you choose the ordinary talent that will allow you to enter the sect!
After all, I'm planning to do business for a long time. I don't want to be exposed too many times and be hunted down. "
As Liu Jinbiao spoke, he slapped his waist with his right hand and took out some peanuts from his storage bag. He peeled off the skin and ate them.
When Wang Lin saw this, a wry smile appeared on his face. He thought to himself that Liu Jinbiao was a swindler in his previous life, but in this life, he was even better at it.
Out of the five children, three chose to return home out of fear. However, there was a boy and a girl who had determined expressions. The girl chose the ordinary talent, and the boy firmly chose the excellent talent.
Liu Jinbiao looked deeply at the boy's choice. This child had the best talent among the five, and his will was very firm. He didn't come from a wealthy family, but an ordinary commoner. It was only by coincidence that Liu Jinbiao took a fancy to him.
Liu Jinbiao nodded. After wiping away the memories of the three children, he waved his sleeve and sent the three children out of the cave to his followers outside the mountain range. He also sent a voice transmission, telling his followers to send the three children back to the city and tell their families that they had failed to enter the sect.
