Chapter 240: Chapter 177: Secret Realm Entry Requirement: Untouched by Carnal Affairs
[An outer disciple of the Yazi Sect discovered that Lin Hao possesses cultivation potential and wishes to recommend him to join the sect]
[The outer disciple of the Yazi Sect introduces Lin Hao to the sect in detail]
[The outer disciple of the Yazi Sect begins to introduce the sect’s development philosophy to Lin Hao]
[As a mortal, abandon conscience, and you may gain riches]
[In cultivation, abandon moral principles, and you may gain wealth, partners, techniques, and land]
[The outer disciple of the Yazi Sect shows Lin Hao the Magical Artifact issued by the sect]
[...]
As Lin Hao conversed with the man, his log began to update slowly. With the man’s constant introductions, Lin Hao’s foreboding grew stronger. Simultaneously, a deep urge to investigate welled up within him.
This feeling was very wrong.
Since Lin Hao started cultivating, his emotions had always been very stable. He wasn’t very curious about things unrelated to cultivation.
Under such circumstances, the current feeling seemed very strange.
After thoroughly checking himself with his Divine Thought several times, Lin Hao didn’t find anything wrong with himself.
Upon retracting his Divine Thought, Lin Hao discovered the crux of the problem—
In the Sea of Divine Thoughts, there was a cup of milk tea condensed from merit.
This Merit Milk Tea Cup seemed to want Lin Hao to fill it with something—
Fill it with merit!
The inside of the milk tea cup was empty; what could that mean?
For the Merit Milk Tea Cup, the man in front of him, judged by the log as being from the Yazi Sect, could provide the merit it needed.
With nothing to do in his spare time, Lin Hao pretended to agree.
The man seemed very excited, deciding to report immediately to his higher-ups. But when he took out his phone to call his leader, he suddenly sensed something was off.
Himself...
Why does he seem a bit too fond of this suddenly emerged handsome young man?
You must know, according to the organization’s rules, recruiting new people involves a very strict review process.
After all, the "business" they conduct carries extremely high risks, requires a certain level of secrecy, and is also a key target for the River Debris City Management Team.
Several times, he almost got caught by the City Management Team’s deputy leader, Xiyu!
And now, just based on a sudden liking, he’s introducing a young man he’s only just met to his leader. It just doesn’t seem right!
Could he have been influenced by Extraordinary Power?
Alarmed by the thought, the man put away his phone and looked at Lin Hao with caution!
Under the man’s wary gaze, Lin Hao mobilized his Magical Power, fully operating the Social Flower and Herb Secret Manual. Slowly, the wariness in the man’s eyes faded away.
The man felt his suspicion was entirely unwarranted.
A young person with such a connection at first sight wouldn’t have any issues; in a past life, they must have been brothers!
But before that, the man felt he needed to ask for Lin Hao’s name first:
"Brother, we’ve been chatting so well, and I still don’t know your name."
Lin Hao laughed and said:
"I go by the name Ao Tian, from Valve City."
Lin Hao reported his incarnation identity from Valve City to the man.
The man nodded and continued calling his leader:
"House Madam, I’ve come across a very promising young man on the road. If he becomes a professional marriage proposer, he will certainly bring us immense profits!"
"His background is fine, from another city, Valve City, and doesn’t have many social connections in River Debris City."
"I’ll send you a photo soon. If he tidies up a bit, I think he wouldn’t even need to propose actively; women will come to him in wedding dresses voluntarily!"
"..."
"Although this kind of recommendation process is a bit non-compliant, I assure you, there’s no issue with this person! He can’t possibly be an undercover agent!"
Under the man’s vigorous recommendation, Lin Hao was successfully introduced!
[The outer disciple of Yazi Sect activated the Sound Transmission Array to recommend Lin Hao to the sect]
[Recently, Yazi Sect has been in turmoil, often infiltrated by disciples from other sects as undercover spies, particularly official cultivators from the River Debris World]
[In response, the outer disciple of Yazi Sect swore directly to the sect that Lin Hao could impossibly be an undercover agent from another sect entering Yazi Sect]
[Lin Hao, as the sect master of the Ke Chen City Happy Milk Tea Limited Sect, successfully infiltrated the Yazi Sect’s River Debris World branch]
Watching the man’s reactions and the log updates, Lin Hao intuitively felt the terrifying power of the Social Flower and Herb Secret Manual for the first time...
The first time the other party met him, they could be so open-hearted with him, even assuring their leader over the phone that if Lin Hao were an undercover, they were willing to die.
The man hung up the phone and patted Lin Hao on the shoulder:
"Brother Ao Tian, we will surely have a bright future. You can call me by my organization’s codename ’Blood-Handed Blade Demon.’"
Blood-Handed Blade Demon?
How dare he take this name based on that thing that only clears the stomach?
"You can also give yourself a codename," said the Blood-Handed Blade Demon.
"Jade Emperor!" Lin Hao thought for a moment and said.
This was the direction of Lin Hao’s Cultivation!
"So, the young brother has this interest,"
Blood-Handed Blade Demon nodded understandingly, then lowered his head to type. In Lin Hao’s Divine Thought perception, he was reporting to their leader, the "House Madam."
"Leader, the young brother I found will be called ’Emperor Yu Huang’ in the future."
Lin Hao: ???
"’Emperor Yu Huang,’ let’s go deliver the goods together!"
With that, after a few operations online, a very luxurious-looking car stopped in front of the marriage proposer and the girl being proposed to.
Proposal man: "Darling, come home with me. My family would love to meet you!"
Girl: "Isn’t this happening a bit too fast? I’m not ready yet."
Proposal man: "It’s fine. My family values the inner self more."
Amid the cheering of onlookers, the proposal man and the girl got into the car and left.
Blood-Handed Blade Demon and Emperor Yu Huang sat in another car, following behind.
In the Joyful District, the streets and alleys were vibrant with lights and colors.
High-end clubs, foot massage shops, romantic hotels, and hourly rent rooms constituted the main color palette of this city.
The vehicles gradually left the Joyful District.
The flow of people and vehicles also became sparse.
In Lin Hao’s Divine Thought perception, the girl who was being proposed sat in the car and nervously asked:
"Darling, where are we going?"
"We’re going to my home."
"But we’ve already left the Joyful District."
"My home is a bit remote."
When the vehicle stopped under the city wall of River Debris City, the girl grew more anxious and said:
"Darling, are we leaving the city limits?"
"I have a house outside the city. The air is better outside than in the city. That’s where the wealthy live."
"I kind of want to go home."
"Well, you’re here now."
Silence fell inside the carriage.
Compared to the silence in the car ahead, in the vehicle with Lin Hao, the Blood-Handed Blade Demon passionately introduced Extraordinary matters to Lin Hao, due to their sudden liking of him. Now, he was already talking about his own astonishing achievements in the Extraordinary Circle!
"My name is quite renowned in the River Debris City’s Extraordinary Circle! The achievements are from numerous deadly battles..."
"As long as someone gets stabbed a few times by my Contained Object, not even a swallowtail can hold it..."
"..."
"There’s no match for me! Every Extraordinary I defeated and drove away speaks of my name as the Blood-Handed Blade Demon, and none dare to deny my strength. They tell the world of my tyrannical and bloodthirsty Extraordinary Power!"
Lin Hao thought about it and felt that although what the Blood-Handed Blade Demon said sounded surreal, it was also very realistic—
No Extraordinary wants to admit their failure because...
they had an upset stomach.
Soon, after the two cars left River Debris City, disappearing from the city gates, Lin Hao’s log presented a prompt——
[Lin Hao noticed a Secret Realm opening around, the entry condition being "a body untouched by worldly affairs"]
——
[And more]
