Chapter 353: Chapter 352 Bestseller
“Who is this lady?” Yu Yin noticed Fairy Red Dust, whose aura was very nebulous. Even with her divine sense at Transcendance Tribulation Stage, she couldn’t see through her.
Unless she herself was also at the Transcendance Tribulation Stage.
But currently, the only female cultivator at the Transcendance Tribulation Stage was she, so how could a second Transcendance Tribulation Stage female cultivator appear unnoticed?
Seeing the unusual expression on Yu Yin, Pure Heart Saintess finally realized the problem. Master Hongchen had refined this set of Immortal Artifact-level clothes for Fairy Red Dust to reduce attention and hide her aura.
The function of hiding the aura remained intact even in the Transcendance Tribulation Stage.
There were only a few at the Transcendance Tribulation Stage, so a newcomer who could deceive the divine sense of the Transcendance Tribulation Stage would naturally be surprising to anyone who saw them.
Pure Heart Saintess broke a sweat on her forehead; telling a lie was a great challenge to her.
“Pure Heart, don’t worry, I know Yu Yin. She is tighter-lipped than both Bai Hongtu and Ji Zhi. She won’t tell anyone about this.” Jiang Li secretly transmitted.
Having received Jiang Li’s backing, Pure Heart Saintess was relieved. “Come and have a chat with me over here, Sister Yu Yin.”
Pure Heart Saintess and Yu Yin were of the same generation. When it came to age, Yu Yin was a few years older than Pure Heart Saintess.
Pure Heart Saintess took Yu Yin to a secluded spring by the mountains. The clear mountain spring was babbling, setting an excellent mood.
Fairy Red Dust wanted to catch fish in the river, but she was persuaded back by Pure Heart Saintess.
Yu Yin raised her eyebrows. This veiled female cultivator was either childish or perhaps just naive.
“This is the ancestor of our Red Dust Pure Land, Fairy Red Dust.”
Upon hearing this, Yu Yin was startled and raised her eyebrows once again.
Jiang Li knew that Yu Yin rarely showed any facial expression, most of the time, her face was impassive. Now that she had raised her eyebrows twice, it showed that she was surprised enough.
“Is this the Fairy Red Dust who enchanted the Immortal Realm, the embodiment of the beauty of the Heavenly Dao?”
Yu Yin finally understood why she veiled herself. According to legend, Fairy Red Dust’s charm was irresistible. Even her portrait could cause chaos and make people lose their minds, let alone seeing her in person.
“But wasn’t the venerable ancestor already deceased?”
“Although the soul of the ancestor reincarnated, the body still exists and has created a new soul.”
The concept of a body creating a soul was something Yu Yin had heard of before, but this was her first encounter with the actual situation.
“Hello there, you look strong.” Fairy Red Dust cheerfully said.
“In front of the immortal, I, Yu Yin, dare not claim to be strong.” Yu Yin saluted Fairy Red Dust. She was curious about Fairy’s real face behind the veil but considering the legend of Fairy Red Dust, she did not trust herself.
Yu Yin then spoke to the air, “Jiang Li, I know you’re here. Stop hiding.”
Jiang Li was confident in his ability to hide and thought that Yu Yin was deceiving him.
Yu Yin cornered her mouth into a cold smile, “Originally, Sister Pure Heart was hesitant and afraid to mention the matter about Fairy Red Dust. Then, she suddenly made up her mind and told me about it. Who do you think could make her so determined?”
Jiang Li had no choice but to show up, “I know you’re clever, but can you not reveal yourself in front of me?”
“I dare not brand myself as clever in front of you. Every time the Human Emperor candidacy test takes place, you and Bai Hongtu always come first and second, while I merely rank third.”
The Human Emperor candidacy test was a comprehensive examination, including but not limited to combat power, talent, intelligence, and so on. For all these categories, Yu Yin was not weaker than Bai Hongtu and Jiang Li, but when it came to intelligence, she was slightly inferior.
Yu Yin’s legitimate tactics couldn’t compete with the unpredictable tricks and schemes of Jiang Li and Bai Hongtu.
The old Human Emperor was fond of Yu Yin and felt that although Jiang Li and Bai Hongtu were excellent, they were not steady. Therefore, they imposed various restrictions on these two during the test, as if directly saying you should stop making trouble.
Shocker! They both came out with newer methods each time.
“Don’t worry, I won’t tell anyone about your sneaky infiltration into the Shangsi Festival.”
Jiang Li glared, “What do you mean I sneaked in? I’m here to ensure Fairy Red Dust’s matter remains a secret.”
Yu Yin ignored Jiang Li, “This should be both your first time attending the Shangsi Festival, let me show you around.”
Jiang Li asked Fairy Red Dust to disguise her aura to the Body Integration Realm, so others would only think that Fairy Red Dust was just a Body Integration Realm cultivator from the Red Dust Pure Land.
The four of them returned to the main venue of the Shangsi Festival, while Jiang Li went invisible, visible only to the other three.
Jiang Li, mingling among the groups of women, felt like a pervert.
He saw many items on sale for female cultivators, such as Youth-Retention Pills, indecent clothing, hair protection solutions, sun cream, shen power replenishing techniques…
Although it was a novelty for Jiang Li, he did not feel the slightest impulse to buy anything.
“Your face doesn’t look very good, is everything alright?” Pure Heart Saintess noticed something odd about Jiang Li.
Jiang Li sighed, “Maybe because it’s all female cultivators, everyone is wearing far cooler clothes than usual, showing their arms and thighs. If they knew I was here, I doubt they would wear like this.”
In Jiang Li’s previous world, the customs of Jiuzhou did not allow such casual dressing among women, with the exception of few clans like the demons and the insect clan. Other female cultivators were modest in their clothing, not even revealing their ankles.
However, at the Shangsi Festival, it seemed like the women were flaunting their good figures, showing off arms and thighs, their clothes were even more body-hugging, revealing the contours of their chests.
Yu Yin laughed, “What do you think, if they knew you were here, would they wear more or less?”
Before Jiang Li could answer, he was called over by Fairy Red Dust, who was squatting on the ground reading a book.
“Come and see, these books are really interesting.”
“What book is the ancestor reading?” Pure Heart Saintess bent down, supported her knees with both arms, and asked softly.
“‘Rebirth 500 Years, a Mahayana Monk Falls in Love with Me’.”
Fairy Red Dust read the synopsis on the cover earnestly, “‘She was betrayed and reborn five hundred years ago. As soon as she opened her eyes, she saw a pitiful little cultivator. She knew that this little cultivator would ultimately become an eye-catching Mahayana monk.”
“‘But who knows how bitter the path to immortality can be, what he had lost and endured before he became a Mahayana monk?’”
“‘She held the little cultivator and said arrogantly, ‘In this life, I will let you comfortably become a Mahayana monk without losing anything or undergoing any hardships!””
“And this one, ‘Lord Jiang Li, No, Please’.”
“‘He is a high and mighty Mahayana monk, the guardian of Jiuzhou, a ruthless powerhouse who makes the outer Heavenly Demons lose courage at the mere mention of him.’”
“‘She is a clumsy maidservant, a backdrop for the cultivators.’”
“‘Two people who initially would never intersect meet at a banquet. Since then, he gained a naive and cute little maidservant, and she gained a gentle Mahayana monk beside her.’”
“This fellow daoist has good taste. These two books are two of the bestsellers recently.”
The booth owner enthusiastically promoted them. Pure Heart Saintess purchased these two books under the pretext of buying them for Fairy Red Dust.
Jiang Li noted that the book stall was neatly arranged, with small signs dividing each area. The section with the largest number of books was called the “Jiang Li Area”.
Apart from Fairy Red Dust and Pure Heart Saintess, many other female cultivators were buying books from this area. Even “Erotic Teacher Area” was not as lively as this.
