Chapter 230: With Him Here, I’m No Longer the Ugliest
“Follow me.”
A Xi waved at Liu Bo.
Liu Bo, though slow to react, followed A Xi as if he understood.
A Xi seemed foolish, but his actions were fine; at least he wasn’t mistreating Liu Bo.
Liu Bo diligently played the role of a slow-witted fool.
He then asked the System, “Should I still practice this Cultivation Method?”
Practicing now would expose his beginner status, but if he didn’t, he’d just be a Player with a Spiritual Root.
But he couldn’t cultivate!
Wasn’t playing this game torturous?
System: “It’s best not to right now.”
Although Hua Lu had allowed Liu Bo to live, if Liu Bo showed any abnormality, she would likely kill him without hesitation.
Liu Bo followed A Xi into a cave entrance.
After many twists and turns, the area suddenly opened up, and a brand new world appeared before Liu Bo.
It was a vast, dreamlike forest, stretching as far as the eye could see.
Treehouses hung from thick tree trunks, and green, glowing Root Systems intertwined, covering the entire forest.
Flowers bloomed on the ground, and small animals scurried about.
Some were faintly Demonic Beasts, but their appearances were all normal.
This scene, no matter where it was, would be a top-tier attraction for influencers.
Liu Bo was stunned once again.
He thought that even though he was captured, staying here to enjoy the scenery for a while wouldn’t be so bad.
As A Xi brought Liu Bo in, some Demonic Cultivators suddenly appeared.
Most of them looked better than A Xi, but not stunningly so—compared to Liu Bo, however, they were all beauties!
From a cluster of purple flowers, a young girl Demonic Cultivator with butterfly wings on her back flew out, giggling at A Xi, “A Xi, A Xi, where did you find another ugly thing? Just like you—”
Liu Bo: What rude words!
The butterfly girl’s expression changed: “Human Race?”
The Aura of a Human Race was distinct, and mainly, Liu Bo was so ugly that they didn’t react immediately.
With the shout of “Human Race,” many Demonic Cultivators emerged from the surroundings.
Each had a different form, with more or less visible beast-like features.
A Xi quickly grabbed Liu Bo: “Don’t get excited, I told Sister Hua Lu. This is a Human Race I brought back. He’s an idiot and so ugly. I brought him back to play with, so I won’t be the ugliest anymore. You can’t call me ugly anymore! Call him ugly!”
Liu Bo: “…”
How presumptuous of you.
System: “I can’t even listen to this!”
Unexpectedly, the Demonic Cultivators, perhaps a bit too straightforward, the butterfly girl looked him over seriously and nodded: “He is indeed uglier than you.”
She then shouted loudly, “Then A Xi won’t be the ugliest ugly thing here anymore!”
A Xi smiled.
Liu Bo fell silent.
The entire scene was immersed in the joy of Liu Bo being the only one hurt.
System: “Demonic Cultivators are so rude.”
Liu Bo: “…”
A Xi was extremely pleased. From now on, he wouldn’t be the ugliest in the tribe; Liu Bo had replaced him.
He led Liu Bo forward, and the other Demonic Cultivators didn’t stop them, merely watching him and Liu Bo with curious and amused gazes.
Liu Bo was vaguely puzzled. Weren’t Human Race and Demonic Cultivators mortal enemies?
These Demonic Cultivators didn’t seem to have much malice towards the Human Race.
It wasn’t until they reached a treehouse that Liu Bo understood why.
Although this treehouse was suspended in the air, it had a wooden ladder, allowing direct access.
A Xi arrived at the wooden house and shouted loudly, “Uncle Nian!”
“What is it?” a grumpy voice came from inside the treehouse, and then a white-bearded old man emerged.
He wore a white robe, and with his appearance, he looked like an immortal.
Upon seeing Liu Bo, the old man’s expression changed: “Why did you bring a person back?”
“I found him on the way. I saw he was ugly and no one wanted him, so I brought him back. Now he’s the ugliest person, so I’m not the ugliest anymore.”
Liu Bo: “…”
The white-bearded old man stroked his beard, his eyes narrowed as he examined Liu Bo: “At this age, with a Spiritual Root, yet still a Human Race who hasn’t cultivated?”
A Xi immediately said, “He’s an idiot, he doesn’t remember anything, and he drools when he talks. The Human Race ostracizes him, so no Sect would take him.”
“…”
Although A Xi was a bit foolish, what he said was beneficial to Liu Bo.
After all, Sects would generally accept someone with a Spiritual Root.
Being this old and not having started cultivation could only mean no Sect would take him, and without Spirit Stones, he couldn’t even afford common beginner Cultivation Methods on the market.
This was quite unbelievable for a Human Race cultivator.
Even Rogue Cultivators became so due to later circumstances; it was impossible not to join a Sect in the early stages.
Or they were children of Rogue Cultivators, with inherited Cultivation Methods at home, thus not needing to join a Sect.
Liu Bo definitely didn’t fit either category.
Under the old man’s disbelieving gaze, Liu Bo could only stare with wide eyes, feigning an unintelligent appearance.
The old man, half-believing, asked, “Then why did you bring him to me?”
“Uncle Nian, you’re also Human Race. Do you have any beginner Cultivation Methods for Human Race? Teach him to cultivate and get started, so he can live longer. Our tribe has too many poisonous things, and if he dies from poison, I’ll be the ugliest again.”
Liu Bo’s eyes lit up.
He hadn’t expected such a turn of events.
And this old man was actually Human Race?
No wonder the Demonic Cultivators here didn’t have much malice towards the Human Race.
They only blamed A Xi for bringing someone back carelessly.
The old man wasn’t unwilling, but he said, “Didn’t you say he’s an idiot? Will he understand if I give it to him?”
Saying this, the old man suddenly appeared before them, then reached out and pressed his hand onto Liu Bo’s forehead.
A surge of Spiritual Energy went straight to his brain and circulated through Liu Bo’s body.
In Liu Bo’s bewildered eyes, the old man said with slight surprise: “Your Consciousness is so clean, you really are an idiot.”
For cultivators, the stage where a person’s soul and consciousness are not fully developed is called Consciousness. Later, it separates into Sea of Consciousness and Primordial Spirit.
If there were any issues, the Consciousness would inevitably have impurities, but after a quick scan, Liu Bo’s body was indeed incredibly pure.
Whether he believed it or not, this fact wouldn’t lie.
Duan Wu Nian carefully examined Liu Bo’s face and then nodded.
He wasn’t someone with Evil Thoughts: “It’s a Fortune for you to encounter him. Looking at him, it must have been difficult to live this long.”
A Xi nodded again: “See, I told you. Otherwise, would normal people be afraid of us when they see us?”
Duan Wu Nian rolled his eyes: “You know the situation outside yet you still dare to wander around carelessly? Be careful you don’t run into disciples from Tai Xue Sect. If something happens to you, no one will be able to save you!”
A Xi chuckled: “I was out gathering herbs this time.”
The old man said nothing and took out a Cultivation Method from his Cosmic Bag:
“I don’t have anything else, just practice this. If he can truly start cultivating with it, it will be his Fortune.”
After finishing today’s tasks, I’ll add more tomorrow.
