The entire sect is obsessed with love, but I'm the only one who's truly insane.
Chapter 5: The Old Tool
Perhaps Lin Du was too calm. Even if the person chosen by the Supreme Sect doesn't show it on their face, they will unconsciously feel joy. Therefore, Master Gui couldn't help but wonder if this child didn't know what the Supreme Sect meant.
He asked gently, "Child, would you like to join my Supreme Sect? My Supreme Sect is the largest sect in Central Continent, with abundant cultivation resources. We will certainly not treat you unfairly."
Lin Du nodded, "Okay."
Her attitude was so calm and composed that He Gui couldn't help but wonder if she would just say "yes" to anyone who stood in front of her and asked if they wanted to come with her.
Little did she know that Lin Du was a woman who held the script in her hands; she hadn't even considered the possibility of going to another sect.
In the original work, she entered the sect along with one of the female protagonists, but she wasn't mentioned much.
In the original text, "Besides Ni Jinxuan, there was also a pale-skinned young man in a blue robe who was selected. She looked extremely thin and weak, and was born with a deficiency, but she had extraordinary talent and was taken in as a closed-door disciple by the ancestor who was about to ascend."
The female protagonist took pity on her junior uncle, who was born with a disability, and often took care of him during the trial. As a result, she received a lot of silent care from this cold-faced but kind-hearted junior uncle, which not only showed the female protagonist's kindness, but also provided her with a lot of upgrade items, and even gave her the most crucial token to steal the sect's treasure.
Upon finally learning the truth, he was consumed by rage and remorse, and died.
Lin Du's assessment was that he was just an old tool.
They weren't even cannon fodder.
Look at how that kid ended up having a happy ending with the Demon Lord, without even once remembering that the incident indirectly led to the death of his junior uncle. Lin Du's death was truly worthless.
"Actually, child, I see that you are born weak and have a sluggish heart meridian. If you come to my Jishi Sect, which is the number one sect among medical practitioners, we will surely be able to cure you one day."
A white-haired, white-bearded man standing nearby couldn't help but speak up.
Seeing that someone was trying to snatch someone away, Guiyuan Sect also spoke up, "Although our Guiyuan Sect is not as powerful as the Supreme Sect, it is still one of the three major sects in Zhongzhou. Of the tens of thousands of cultivators in the world, half of them come from Guiyuan. Why don't you take a look at us?"
A dozen pairs of eyes were fixed on the child, as if Lin Du were some rare treasure.
"Taking medicine is expensive," Lin Du said. "So..."
She suddenly glanced at the empty seat that had never been occupied.
Elder Jishizong looked at her expectantly, his heart leaping with joy. Taking medicine was expensive, but taking medicine from his own family was free!
The Guiyuan Sect elder puffed out his chest. They, as cultivators, had nothing to lack but money.
The elder of the Supreme Sect felt a pang of regret. He should have followed the example of the smaller sects and found a good name; it was indeed necessary to improve one's image.
"Let's go with the Supreme Sect."
After all, judging from the script, it seems that none of the members of the Supreme Sect lack spirit stones.
If you don't have money, how can you be preoccupied with romance? You'd definitely be preoccupied with making money!
Guiyuan Sect and Jishi Sect slowly typed out a question mark.
May I ask if there is any connection between the Supreme Sect and having money to buy medicine?
Wushangzong was also stunned, then immediately stood up with joy, forgetting even to maintain the composure of a master.
"Don't worry, our Supreme Sect will definitely not treat you unfairly."
After all, their ancestors were wealthy.
Master He Gui was overjoyed. "You are weak, please sit down first."
Otherwise, standing until the very end would probably be quite tiring.
Lin Du originally wanted to leave, but was pulled by a force onto the cushion behind the table.
She paused for a moment, then suddenly realized something. Just as she was about to call out to the real person, she found herself unable to speak.
This wasn't in the script!
The script doesn't yet include the scene where you become a disciple of the Dao during your ascent up the mountain and are fought over by the three sects.
The butterfly effect has hit her, hasn't it?
Lin Du remained silent, when suddenly he felt a pair of large hands cover his eyes, which were then quickly moved away.
"Turn your head." A tender, tingling voice rang in her ears.
Lin Du turned his head as instructed, only to see Elder Gui earnestly holding a booklet and calling out to people in front of him.
……
"To the left." The voice carried a hint of helpless laughter.
Lin Du turned his head and met a pair of excessively beautiful phoenix eyes.
Thick, dark eyebrows, deep-set double eyelids, and deep, captivating eyes with a nimble, upward curve. Her fine, drooping eyelashes add a touch of allure, creating a complex, enigmatic charm. Her lower eyelids are full, and the corners of her eyes are tinged with a mysterious blush, revealing a natural allure that is far from effeminate.
But... those bewitching and alluring eyes are on the face of a Buddhist cultivator.
With stubble on his head, an excellent head shape, exquisitely sculpted features, and superb bone structure.
It was strange, but for the first time, Lin Du wanted to use a beautiful woman to describe a monk.
That's so weird.
But what's even stranger is that the Buddhist cultivator's neck was entwined with intricate red and black patterns, making him appear even more bizarre and otherworldly.
"...What, are you stunned?" The Buddhist cultivator chuckled slowly, observing the person staring intently at him with amusement. "I have something to tell you. The Supreme Sect is incredibly poor. Do you want to come with me? I guarantee you'll become the number one genius in the cultivation world. What do you say?"
Lin Du didn't remember this character being in the original storyline.
She hesitated for a moment, then asked, "What good will this do you?"
They just gave her a thousand spirit stones, and now they want to kidnap her again? They're just burning money.
The Buddhist cultivator was stunned, and so was the system.
Shouldn't she ask herself what the benefit would be?
Wei Zhi was stunned for a moment before chuckling softly, rubbing his forehead. "You really are..."
As expected of someone who has weathered the storms of life, they see things very clearly and thoroughly.
Yes, what good would it do him?
She was asking him what his purpose was.
"I just... feel..." Wei Zhi's aggressive gaze swept down from her brows and eyes before finally fixing on her directly. "Interesting, isn't that enough?"
"Not enough." Lin Du just looked at him like that. "Of course not enough."
Those who act solely on their interests are undoubtedly people with substantial wealth and resources.
But what if such a person gets bored?
Lin Du himself was just that kind of person, doing whatever he pleased, so he was at his most ruthless when he was in power.
This Buddhist cultivator might be trying to snatch disciples from Zhongzhou, or he might just want to embarrass the Supreme Sect, or he might genuinely find her interesting, but none of it matters to her.
Wei Zhi sensed a kindred spirit in a sickly little boy.
"You really won't come with me? Anything they can give you, I can give you too."
Lin Du said, "Being bald is too ugly, I don't want to be bald."
Wei Zhi: ...That is indeed a reason.
"You don't have to shave your head; I've seized many top-grade martial arts techniques that are kept secret."
"...What do you mean by 'good Buddhist practice doesn't require shaving your head'? You shaved your head yourself, don't try to fool me just because I'm young."
Wei Zhi was laughing so hard he was about to explode. He hadn't expected this sickly little guy to be so funny. He covered his face and laughed until he was shaking. His slender fingers showed a jade-like luster, and every move he made was captivating.
"Let me introduce myself. I am Wei Zhi. They are from Zhongzhou, and they call me," he paused, raised his eyes, and smiled freely, "the Demon Monk."
He pointed to the reddish-black markings on his neck, which shone even more brightly in the sunlight on his face. "These are demon markings."
"I swallowed a dragon that was about to transform into a dragon."
Years later, after Lin Du had a thorough understanding of the cultivation world, all he wanted to say to the demonic monk in front of him was, "I respect you as a true man."
He swallowed a dragon with his own body and thus became a half-demon.
Thus, it became a golden statue.
"No madness, no life." A Buddhist practitioner used this unorthodox method to attain a golden body, and surprisingly, he succeeded.
A Buddhist cultivator who has attained the Golden Body is considered to be among the top combatants in the cultivation world.
"Hmm," Lin Du replied calmly, "You have quite an appetite."
Wei Zhi fell silent. "I ate a dragon! Do you know what eating a dragon means? I'm super fierce! Aren't you scared?"
The demonic monk Wei Zhi, who struck fear into the hearts of the entire cultivation world and could only tremble in fear as he acted recklessly and helplessly, was silenced by a single sentence from a sickly young cultivator who had just entered the Dao.
I don't know if this little brat is truly ignorant and therefore not afraid, or if it's because purebred ice spirit roots like theirs, born in the Lesser Cold, are really nothing that can stir her emotions.
