A Sect from a Spirit Vein

Chapter 583: Chapter 474: Forget About Me

Golden Core Masters are inherently flawless; thus, as long as they restrain their spiritual pressure and power, they appear just like ordinary mortals. People only scan with their divine sense from afar, naturally missing the subtleties.

The more pressing question is, what Golden Core Master would deliberately masquerade as a mortal just for fun?

Yet, here stands one such individual!

With a turn of Golden Core Spiritual Power, the dust on the young girl vanished instantly, revealing her slender and graceful figure. Her face, carved from jade and porcelain, was delicate and lovely, featuring large, blinking eyes that were bright and endearing.

Never had anyone seen a Golden Core Master choose to halt their appearance at such an age. Isn’t this utterly lacking in intimidation?

But the soaring Golden Core Spiritual Pressure couldn’t be faked in the slightest; a master’s anger reduced Qi Cultivators to mere ants.

In that moment, the patrol captain dropped to his knees, kowtowing like pounding garlic. Simultaneously, several streaks of escape light descended from the sky, shielding Jiang Baitao and the Yunshan disciples behind them.

It was Jiang Qingfeng, Wang Yu, and Wu Yan.

Meanwhile, on the Sky Ray, the Yunshan disciples had already formed their array, the Vast Sea Star Battle Array was ready to be unleashed.

”Senior!” Jiang Qingfeng quickly called out, ”We are cultivators from the Yunshan Sect, and our sect has some influence in the ten counties of northwest Cangzhou. We ask that—”

But before she could finish, the Golden Core Spiritual Pressure suddenly withdrew, and the girl’s icy blue hair turned back to black. She shouted in a flustered voice, ”Just now doesn’t count! It’s because you were too bothersome, forcing me to cheat!”

Huh? Jiang Qingfeng was befuddled. Then the girl muttered to herself, ”Yes, yes, it doesn’t count, I’m still having a mortal’s day without cheating.”

She put her hands on her hips, looking around, ”Nothing happened just now, got it? I didn’t reveal any spiritual pressure, and I’m not a Golden Core Master, just an ordinary mortal.”

As she spoke, she extended her snow-bright arm like frost to the patrol captain: ”Then, go ahead and arrest me. I’m a mortal, and I can’t resist.”

The patrol captain trembled all over, shaking like a sieve as tears welled up on his face: ”It’s my fault for being so blind, Master. Your magnanimity surely exceeds mine, please forgive, please forgive. Just let me off like a fart.”

The girl’s willow eyebrows shot up, showing impatience. Jiang Baitao chuckled beside her, wrapping an arm around her shoulders.

In that instant, everyone’s hearts leapt into their throats, cold sweat breaking out across their backs.

”Ah, a mortal game, I get it, I get it,” Jiang Baitao said carelessly, ”So, you’re a mortal now, and you can’t enter Nocturnal City. I’ll take you in then. I’m Jiang Baitao, what’s your name?”

The girl exclaimed in delight, ”That’s wonderful! Finally, someone who understands. I am Han—oh, I am a mortal called Hai Shuangyao.”

Jiang Baitao winked at the group, holding Hai Shuangyao’s hand as they walked forward, all chummy and intimate.

The group had a collective sweatdrop moment, then saw Hai Shuangyao turn her head and loudly declare, ”Remember, I’m a mortal now, don’t get it wrong!”

But with your words and actions, which part of you could possibly belong to a mortal? Your logic is just too bizarre!

None of them could comprehend the thoughts of this Golden Core Master before them, only Baitao seemed to pick up on her wavelength, and the two chattered away like longtime friends.

However, given she was a Golden Core Master, it was crucial to forge a good relationship.

So, everyone cautiously escorted Jiang Baitao and Hai Shuangyao into the city, fearing that anyone who lacked keen sight might bump into them.

Once inside the city, they entered a whole new world.

Everywhere stood towering buildings adorned with various colorful light orbs and lanterns. Shimmering, eye-catching signboards abounded. In the air, different types of airships flitted back and forth, above and below, creating a dreamlike atmosphere everywhere.

The air here seemed intoxicating too. Darkly attired women sporting bizarre hairdos were seen flocking around cultivators waving strange slips of paper. Many drunken cultivators lurched and swayed, stumbling from one building to another.

Everyone’s spirits were incredibly high. It seemed that ordinary conversation was insufficient, so most people shouted at the top of their lungs, faces flushed, filled with illusory fervor.

Nocturnal City truly resembled a constructed metropolis. Ordinary District, Premium District, Luxurious District, Venerable District... there was pleasure to be found for everyone. Gambling, exotic customs, gourmet foods, violence... everything was vast in scale and unprecedented in novelty.

Before entering the city, they all harbored curiosity and scrutiny, wondering if there was anything the Immortal Master hadn’t seen or played with.

Once inside, their shock could only be expressed through the crudest cliché.

This scene was truly unprecedented.

After initial disorientation, they all considered the amount of spirit stones in their pockets, eager to drown in Nocturnal City, lost in the most perfect illusion.

Even if there was just one spirit stone left in the pocket, they could find suitable food and lodging, entertainment venues. Until that last spirit stone echoed a ding and vanished into the pitch black.

Simply put, as long as there were spirit stones, even a mere Qi Cultivator could experience the treatment of an external Golden Core Master!

Amidst the thronging city crowd, there were also those who dismissed this disdainfully. They initially came with a critical eye. However, after rational and cautious attempts, some could never shake off the cycle of indulgence, regret, indulgence, regret, swiftly squandering all the spirit stones in their pockets.
