I Have an Omen System

Chapter 355: Chapter 233: Identity Swap (Part 2)

"Which Fellow Daoist would like to start us off?"

The scene fell silent for a moment as many of the male Cultivators looked at each other.

Shi Jian of the Thick Earth Sect was pushed from behind by a few acquaintances. He staggered onto the stage, his stout face instantly flushing crimson.

"I... I..."

Shi Jian scratched the back of his head. After holding it in for a long while, he finally said in a booming, muffled voice, "My name is Shi Jian. I’m a True Inheritance disciple of the Thick Earth Sect, at the Purple Mansion Fourth Level. I... I cultivate the Nine Peaks Foundation Array Map."

Shi Jian had a limited vocabulary. After speaking, he just stared hopefully at Zhong Ling.

Zhong Ling covered her mouth and chuckled lightly. "Little Friend Shi is quite honest. I wonder if there is a Fairy here who has caught your eye?"

Hearing this, Shi Jian’s dark face grew even redder, and he nervously wrung his hands.

His gaze swept over the Female Cultivators in the audience, finally pointing straight at Muuu Yu, whose aura was cool and detached and whose starry eyes were deep and profound.

A wave of low, mocking laughter immediately rose from the audience.

What kind of person was Muuu Yu?

She was also a True Inheritance disciple of the Celestial Secret Tower. Both were from Golden Core Sects, but her standards were exceptionally high. How could she possibly be interested in this simple-minded boy?

Muuu Yu walked slowly onto the stage. Her cold gaze swept over Shi Jian, and her voice was calm and emotionless.

"I, Muuu Yu, have three requirements for a partner. First, he must have the potential to become a Nascent Soul Daoist Monarch and have a strong chance of reaching the Golden Core within a hundred years. Second, his mother or master must be at least a Late-stage Golden Core Cultivator. Third, his Cultivation Technique must be compatible with the Celestial Secret Tower’s All Heaven Star Calculation Technique to assist me in my celestial divinations. Fellow Daoist Shi, do you meet these conditions?"

With each condition she listed, Shi Jian’s head lowered a little more.

Hearing this, Zhong Ling frowned slightly, but she immediately looked at Shi Jian with an encouraging expression.

"Little Friend Shi, I recall that you aren’t entirely unable to meet Moo Fairy’s conditions. What is your relationship with Fellow Daoist Shi Yue of your Sect? Speak up boldly, don’t be so timid."

Shi Jian’s face was a dark red. He shook his head and said, "Shi Yue True Monarch of the Thick Earth Sect... is my dad. He’s a Late-stage Golden Core. But... the other two, I can’t meet them..."

The son of a Late-stage Golden Core True Monarch.

The sound of sharp intakes of breath instantly filled the hall.

A flash of surprise also crossed Qin Xuan’s eyes. He hadn’t expected the unremarkable Shi Jian to have such a profound background!

However, Muuu Yu just shook her head slightly and said coolly, "Fellow Daoist Shi, you are sincere and honest, but you are not a suitable match for me."

With that, she gracefully stepped off the stage, leaving Shi Jian standing there dumbfounded. After a long moment, he scratched his head foolishly and walked off as well.

But Shi Jian didn’t seem very dejected. On the contrary, he looked relieved and let out a long sigh.

Next on stage was Zhao Yan.

Zhao Yan wore a Crimson Robe. He held his head high with his chest puffed out, full of vigor.

"I am Zhao Yan, a True Inheritance disciple of the Fire Cloud Sect. I have a Purple Mansion Fifth-Layer Cultivation and have reached the Third Level of the Heaven-Burning Flame Dao Skill. I will certainly reach the Golden Core in the future... and I even dare to contend for the great path of the Nascent Soul."

His burning gaze swept over the Female Cultivators below, finally landing on Qin Xuan’Er.

Zhong Ling said, "Excellent. Then may I ask, which lady has captured Zhao Xiaoyou’s heart?"

Zhao Yan’s fervent gaze turned to Qin Xuan.

"I, Zhao Yan, admire Fellow Daoist Qin Xuan’Er. If I am favored, I am willing to treat you with all my heart. The resources of the Fire Cloud Sect will be yours for the taking!"

Liu Yiyi’s heart tightened.

’This guy has some nerve, trying to steal the Daoist from me!’

Although Zhao Yan was arrogant, his background and strength were indeed impressive, drawing the admiring gazes of several Female Cultivators from smaller families.

Unfortunately, the "Qin Xuan’Er" he admired merely rose, clasped her hands in a polite salute, and offered a distant smile.

"Fellow Daoist Zhao, Xuan’Er appreciates your kind intentions. However, this junior is devoted to the Dao and currently has no interest in romantic affairs. I must decline."

Zhao Yan’s expression stiffened, and he walked off the stage resentfully.

Liu Yiyi, who was beside him, quietly breathed a sigh of relief.

It was Lin Feng’s turn to go on stage.

He hadn’t actually wanted to get involved in this, but he was afraid of exposing his disguise.

"I am Lin Feng, a mere Loose Cultivator at the Purple Mansion Fifth Level. I am only seeking a like-minded Fellow Daoist."

He casually swept his gaze around and happened to meet the cold stare of Leng Ningshuang.

"I wonder what Miss Leng thinks?"

Leng Ningshuang’s dark brows knitted slightly. She stood up and said coolly.

"Fellow Daoist Lin has an extraordinary bearing, but unfortunately... I have never liked associating with Loose Cultivators. My apologies."

The disdain in Leng Ningshuang’s voice was unconcealed.

At these words, Lin Feng felt looked down upon. He frowned slightly. "Why? Does Fellow Daoist Leng look down on me?"

"Fellow Daoist Lin, this humble one also has a few rules for choosing a partner."

Leng Ningshuang said, "First, our future dual cultivation Cave Mansion must be equipped with at least a Tier Five Spirit Gathering Array. It will require one hundred top-grade spirit stones daily to maintain the array’s operation. May I ask if you can guarantee this for our cultivation progress?"

When she said this, many of the male Cultivators in the audience were dumbfounded, their faces turning pale.

A Tier Five array... One hundred top-grade spirit stones per day?

’Is she kidding? A Tier Five Spirit Gathering Array is something exclusive to Nascent Soul Daoist Monarchs. Does this Female Cultivator think she’s some kind of gold-devouring beast?’

Leng Ningshuang, seemingly oblivious, continued, "Second, my master is a Mid-stage Golden Core True Monarch. My future Daoist companion’s master or father must be at least a Nascent Soul Cultivator, so that he can provide sufficient support on our cultivation path."

"Third, though I am untalented, I am currently at the Purple Mansion Sixth Level. I am confident that reaching the Nascent Soul is possible and attaining the Golden Core is a certainty."

"Therefore, I require my future Daoist companion to have the potential for Divinity Transformation. At the very least, he must be one hundred percent certain of forming a Top-grade Golden Core and be guaranteed to reach the Nascent Soul!"

After this string of outrageous, almost absurd, demands was thrown out, the entire venue first fell silent, then erupted with bursts of irrepressible, derisive laughter.

Even Zhong Ling, seated on the high platform, felt the corner of her mouth twitch slightly.

Lin Feng, who had been about to step down, paused. Unable to hold back, he turned to look at the Female Cultivator, his handsome face filled with disbelief.

"Miss Leng, every single one of the conditions you’ve raised is frankly appalling. I’m afraid that even if the current Daoist of the Cyan Cloud Sect himself were here, he wouldn’t be able to meet all of them!"

"I’d like to ask you in return, Fairy, what outstanding advantages do you possess that would make a Daoist companion who meets such conditions fall for you and be willing to give up everything?"
