Seeing Qin Su feigning death with closed eyes, Qi Sha sneered dismissively and resumed gnawing on the crispy, delicious roasted beef leg in his hand.
Meanwhile, the true disciples not far away were also stirring with unspoken thoughts.
The Human Bone Monk from the Demon Buddha Temple and the Happy Monk from the Ten Thousand Buddhas Sect sat facing each other. Both wore expressions of compassion. The Human Bone Monk was plump, resembling Maitreya Buddha, while the Happy Monk was tall and thin, appearing to be in ascetic practice.
The true disciples of two major sects that should have been absolutely opposed in this world sat with smiles, quietly partaking in their meal, creating a surprisingly harmonious scene at first glance.
The true disciple from the Azure Tincture Valley was a middle-aged man with a dull expression. He wore simple black clothing, enveloped in a faint aroma of medicinal herbs. At this moment, he wasn't eating but was intently examining a very ordinary green weed in his hand.
The true disciple from the True Martial Tower was a burly man, half-naked, with a full beard. He was currently burying his head in food, not daring to look up at all, as the madwoman who had nearly killed him was not far away.
Su Xing'er, still shrouded in a mist of starlight, was the most mysterious among all the true disciples. Apart from those from the Dao Profound Sect, few in the cultivation world had ever seen her true face.
However, she was not finding peace at this moment. The true disciple from the Desire Immortal Sect, Miao Yu, with her alluring and charming demeanor, seemed to have taken an interest in her for some reason. She repeatedly picked up her jade goblet, intending to have a few drinks with this true disciple from a righteous sect, much to Su Xing'er's annoyance.
Ye Da, the true disciple from the Water Immortal Sect, was also extremely vexed. A pair of exquisitely carved dragon and phoenix twins had, for some unknown reason, taken an interest in him. They kept pestering him about his feelings after eating grass in large mouthfuls, and how he discovered the mysteries of spiritual herbs, choosing to eat them directly with his mouth instead of using immortal essence to "fire."
How could Ye Da, the true disciple, admit that he was simply too poor and, upon encountering something good, forgot he could use his abilities and just focused on eating what he could?
He could only fabricate various excuses, but gazing at the twins' inquisitive eyes, True Disciple Ye felt he was about to run out of lies.
"Alright! Qian Yu! Qian Xun! You two quickly return to your seats! The Hanhai Sect's celebration is about to begin! We must respect the host's efforts!"
Ye Ao Han, who was almost driven mad by the two little ancestors from the Thousand Mechanisms Sect, saw that the cultivators from the Hanhai Sect were starting to make a move and quickly told the two true disciples of the Thousand Mechanisms Sect to scram.
The two true disciples from the Thousand Mechanisms Sect were like children around ten years old. Although they had already ascended, they still possessed the innocent hearts of children.
Their instinct was a thirst for all unknowns, but as true disciples of a righteous sect, they also knew they couldn't be too rude.
Therefore, the brother and sister reluctantly returned to their seats. However, their quiet murmurs still reached Ye Ao Han's ears:
"Brother, brother, I think Dao Brother Ye is lying to us!"
"Sister, sister, I think so too. And considering the rumors that Dao Brother Ye is the poorest among the true disciples."
"Mhm, mhm, there's only one truth!"
"Haha, I get it, brother!"
Ye Ao Han was filled with indignation. You two scoundrels pretending to be young, isn't it just that you achieved enlightenment too early, so you maintained your childlike appearance? Why pretend to be children every day!
Innocent hearts? Bah, you two are schemers! Those who play with techniques are full of tricks!
"Interesting, very interesting. This dragon and phoenix twin pair from the Thousand Mechanisms Sect actually possesses some kind of linked special physique. So, among special physiques, there are also those that combine in this way?"
Suddenly, a curious exclamation sounded not far from True Disciple Ye. Ye Ao Han turned his head and saw an acquaintance!
In this world, the only face that could make him feel inferior was this one!
However, looking at him this time, his facial charm didn't seem as overbearing.
Although it still made him doubt his own appearance, it at least didn't make him doubt his sexual orientation.
"Are you the Luo Immortal Body from the auction that time? Hehe, I saw back then that it was Miao Yu and Ling Long working together. I thought Miao Yu fancied you, but I didn't expect you to end up with Ling Long?"
Ye Ao Han, being naturally familiar, cupped his hands towards the youth not far away. In any case, he was happier looking at anyone than dealing with those two scheming little devils.
Chen Luo heard this and smiled gently. Dressed in white, he also sat in a corner of the viewing platform, as if he had been there from the beginning, making everyone present feel no sense of abruptness.
His supposedly peerlessly elegant appearance, while still eliciting exclamations like "Damn, handsome!" or "Handsome, damn!" from onlookers, was more natural, astonishing but not intoxicating.
"Fellow Daoist has a good memory. However, my real name is Chen Luo, and I am no longer the Luo Immortal Body. As for Fairy Ling Long and Fairy Miao Yu, after that auction, I also formed a good karmic connection with them."
For some reason, Ye Ao Han felt an inexplicable closeness to this handsome young man. Sensing the spiritual energy fluctuations of the ninth stage of the Dao Path emanating from Chen Luo, a flicker of surprise and realization crossed his eyes:
"Fellow Daoist Chen also has great fortune. In just a few months, you've advanced from the third stage of the Dao Path to the ninth stage. It seems Fairy Ling Long also favors you greatly!"
For the Ten Great Sects, the cultivation of the Dao Path could be accelerated, but the Great Tribulation of Ascension was difficult to intervene with.
However, for promising disciples, the major sects would allow them to grow on their own. After all, artificially assisting them to break through quickly in a short period could very likely damage their future potential.
But in Ye Ao Han's eyes, Chen Luo's situation was that he relied on his good looks, attached himself to an immortal lady, and with the immortal lady's help, he was living off her, advancing at lightning speed!
Moreover, this immortal lady was the future Sect Master of the Hanhai Sect. Coupled with Chen Luo's leisurely and carefree demeanor, it seemed he was getting along extremely harmoniously with this dragon lady in all aspects!
Thinking of the boundless wealth displayed by Hanhai this time, Ye Ao Han couldn't help but feel a sense of envy, jealousy, and hatred.
He wished he could take her place!
But upon seeing Chen Luo's smiling face, Ye Ao Han's malicious thoughts inexplicably dissipated. In the end, he could only lament that his digestive system was too good, and he wasn't suited for living off others! He even subconsciously began to explain to Chen Luo:
"Fellow Daoist Chen, you may not know this, but these two true disciples from the Thousand Mechanisms Sect possess extremely rare Spiritual Connection Dao Bodies. They are twins, born with telepathic connections, and are exceptionally talented in the study of mechanisms and objects. Many of the miraculous inventions of the Thousand Mechanisms Sect in the past thousand years have come from their hands."
"Also, this brother and sister pair, Qian Yu and Qian Xun, are actually the oldest and most powerful among the true disciples of our generation. It's just that they have always claimed to have a childlike heart and like to pretend to be young! Fellow Daoist, please do not be deceived by their appearance!"
Qian Yu and Qian Xun, who were eavesdropping from the side, were not happy to hear this!
"Brother, brother! That Dao Brother Ye is slandering us!"
"Sister, sister! Brother heard! Hmph, when we get back this time, we'll double the price for the equipment orders from your Water Immortal Sect! As for the rest, let Sect Master Ye deduct it from his son's expenses!"
Chen Luo laughed heartily upon hearing this, and he became quite interested in these two siblings.
