Chapter 62: CH. 62 | Rumors and Erotic Dance

Li Fan and Lin Tian walked together, leaving that place and entering the hall on the first floor, the place that would be used to hold the auction tomorrow. 𝒇𝒓𝙚𝒆𝔀𝓮𝓫𝒏𝓸𝙫𝓮𝓵.𝓬𝙤𝙢

What Li Fan said was true. The people sitting in the hall wore luxurious sect robes, enjoying wine while watching a performance by three women dancing.

Lin Tian sat in one of the empty chairs. One of the servants came and poured wine into the glass on the wooden nightstand beside Lin Tian’s chair.

"Look! Mortals are better at dancing than cultivating," Li Fan said.

"Have you ever experienced their dance?"

"Never," Lin Tian said.

"You should try it. It is hard to sleep with cultivator girls, so just take them instead."

Li Fan turned and smiled, continuing to enjoy their dance while occasionally sipping the wine in his glass.

He cheered loudly, asking them to shake their hips even more erotically.

As a bonus, he tapped his bag of holding and threw a handful of taels toward them.

When Li Fan did that, the other sect elders also did the same, making the situation lively.

"Your turn, Brother Lin Tian."

Lin Tian agreed, tapped his bag of holding, and gathered a handful of taels in his hand. He threw them toward the women as a tip.

Receiving so many tips made the female dancers proud and happy. One of them even began shaking her hips and touching her body as part of the erotic art performance.

Lin Tian was impressed. He had never expected that entertainment like this was something they enjoyed.

Beside the hustle and bustle of cultivation and sect affairs, they still made time to watch women shake their hips in front of them.

Clearly, they would not be able to see a scene like this in their own sects either.

"How is it? Do you like it?" Li Fan asked, turning to him.

"Yes. It is much better when they welcome the taels with the cleavage of their breasts," Lin Tian said.

"I already guessed it. No cultivator can resist watching their erotic dance movements."

Lin Tian nodded. Even so, he did not know how to dig up information about the sects.

From the sect elders sitting in a circle in the hall, not a single one of them wore red sect robes.

The dance performance ended, and Li Fan looked satisfied and impressed.

The three female dancers gathered the taels scattered on the floor and left the stage, resting for several minutes.

While waiting, Li Fan and the others enjoyed their time drinking wine in the room. Lin Tian did not speak much and only listened.

"The entertainment is over. It seems they are far better than the women from the Hongtian Sect," they joked.

Lin Tian narrowed his eyes and turned, pretending not to know. "What happened to the Hongtian Sect?"

"You do not know? They turned into a depraved sect."

"I heard another cultivator attacked them with a depraved ability. It made their minds and cultivation paths become filled with sex and lust," Li Fan said.

"If I were that cultivator, I would use that ability to enslave Sect Master Yunlan," Li Fan said.

Not only that, they also talked about the rise of the Lingxian Sect. The sect elders spoke in half-whispers, afraid they would be heard by them.

"Their Sect Master is now a Nascent Soul Monster. I heard... the Hongtian Sect became like that because of the Lingxian Sect Master’s actions."

The elders responded, saying that it was a terrifying thing, something that had never happened in the cultivation history of the Qin Kingdom.

Some of them called it a truly depraved act. They were worried that the Lingxian Sect Master would spread his depraved dao to other cultivators.

"Has no one attacked them?"

"There have been some, but they are difficult to defeat. Their sect-protecting White Dragon Formation is very strong."

"Even our Sect Master is unwilling to attack them. Besides the Lingxian Sect not having many resources, their White Dragon Formation would take a lot of energy to deal with."

"Who knows what kind of monster is trying to revive that sect?"

Some of them turned forward and looked at Li Fan, "I did not expect you to come again just to watch them dance, Li Fan."

"Entering that night entertainment pagoda is expensive. It is better to enjoy it here," Li Fan replied.

"HAHAHA! You really are a stingy cultivator."

The sect elder glanced to the side and looked at Lin Tian. "Who is he?"

Lin Tian placed his glass on the wooden nightstand, stood up, clasped his hands, and lowered his head.

"Greetings, Senior. This junior is Lin Tian."

"You have good manners, boy. Tell me, have you joined a sect?" one of the sect elders asked.

"I am a wandering cultivator, Senior."

"So, I have not decided where I will join yet."

The sect elder nodded slowly, agreeing with Lin Tian’s decision.

However, he still felt it was somewhat regrettable. Lin Tian’s cultivation base was Peak Foundation Establishment, which was quite rare for a wandering cultivator.

"If you join a sect, your cultivation path will be limitless," the man said.

"Thank you for your advice, Senior. This junior will consider it."

"Enough. Do not make him nervous," another man said.

"Call the women back here."

Lin Tian turned and saw the erotic dancers coming again. He let out a soft sigh. It turned out that sitting with them had only been a waste of time.

He stood up and said farewell to them. Li Fan was a little surprised. He felt conflicted about whether he should chase after Lin Tian or stay for the erotic performance.

Li Fan decided to chase after Lin Tian. However, when he arrived outside the auction pagoda, he could not find the man’s presence.

"Woah, he left so quickly."

Lin Tian quickly left the Zhu Clan auction pagoda. His steps stopped again when he arrived at the Lanzhu City Natural Spiritual Vein Inn and met the female cultivator standing guard in front of the gate.

"You... you are the man from yesterday, right?" the woman asked.

The man glanced to the side and clasped his hands. "That is right, Senior."

"Sigh... you came again to cultivate?"

"Hmm."

"I really do not understand you. You had plenty of time yesterday, so why did you waste it? Now, you come again to cultivate."

"Are you a rich person?" the woman asked. Her cultivation base was Early Core Formation.

Lin Tian fell awkwardly silent, then smiled and looked at her again. "This junior feels that my spiritual qi is surging. It seems I will soon break through to Core Formation."

"Good!" she said. "That is what cultivators should do, break through quickly and not waste time."

"Do you not understand the concept of a cultivator’s lifespan?"

"This junior... understands," Lin Tian explained.

"Go in. The fee is still the same."

Lin Tian handed five low-grade spirit stones to her in exchange for an inn room token. Lin Tian let out a soft sigh.

This was the first time he had received advice from a Core Formation cultivator.

Still, Lin Tian was not offended. She was far better than the two-faced and scheming cultivators.

Focus on cultivating today... tomorrow, go to the Zhu Clan auction.

I hope I can get valuable information there.
