"Then let's call our future Immortal Sect the Mu the Great Immortal Sect!" Li Xiaohu immediately laughed, happily taking the Profound Truth Jade.

Lin Xuankong: What the heck, Mu the Great Immortal Sect? This is so tacky! Do you take your Godfather for some gang leader who's taken over Wutong Village?!

At this moment, a gentle voice suddenly came from the side, "So, should it be called 'Old Man Mu, Great Immortal Sect,' or 'Brother Mu, of the Immortal Sect'?"

Everyone turned to look, their expressions immediately solemn.

Lin Xuankong was a bit surprised. "Galin Bodhisattva? How did you end up here too?"

Galin Bodhisattva, wearing a white gauze robe, tall and voluptuous, holding a Willow Purification Bottle, her face gentle and beautiful, smiled warmly. "Although the Spiritual Crane Immortal Sect is not a large Immortal Sect in the Central Divine Dynasty, it has always acted righteously. The Earth Immortal Lord Spiritual Crane, who founded the sect, has a good relationship with my little martial uncle. Over the past month or so, I completed my sect's patrol mission and returned to Spirit Platform Holy Land. My master then ordered me to represent Spirit Platform Buddhism to congratulate the Spiritual Crane Immortal Sect on their disciple recruitment ceremony."

After speaking, she looked carefully at Lin Xuankong. "I didn't expect to meet Mr. Mu as soon as I arrived. It seems that Mr. Mu truly has an affinity with our Spirit Platform Buddhism, and with Buddhism in general!"

Lin Xuankong felt a headache coming on. Why does this Galin Bodhisattva have her sights set on me? Moreover, she's like a persistent ghost. I keep feeling this Little Bodhisattva isn't here to congratulate the Spiritual Crane Immortal Sect on their disciple recruitment ceremony, but rather has ulterior motives! A part of it must be because of me… I'm just an ordinary mortal who enjoys the pleasures of life, loves beauties, and doesn't mind a good fight… In this lifetime, it's absolutely impossible for me, Lin Xuankong, to join a Buddhist Sect and become a monk living a life of asceticism! Why am I pursuing cultivation? Is it to chant sutras and strike a wooden fish all day? Of course not! It's for a life of freedom and longevity, like the Immortal Lv Dongbin from the myths of my previous life, roaming the North Sea in the morning and the Cangwu Mountains by evening, teasing Peony Fairy and playing with dogs when I'm bored…

Galin Bodhisattva seemed to guess Lin Xuankong's thoughts and smiled gently. "Of course, I can see that Mr. Mu's mind is currently wandering, surely burdened by many attachments… I am not asking Mr. Mu to join Spirit Platform Buddhism right now. I will wait for you, Mr. Mu!"

After speaking, she lifted the Willow Purification Bottle in her hand and, accompanied by two young nuns at Ninth-Layer Perfection, headed towards the city gate.

Her soft, gentle voice drifted back, "For the next year and a half, I will be residing in Yangxin Hall of the Spiritual Crane Immortal Sect. If Mr. Mu requires any assistance, please feel free to seek me out! Within this Central Divine Dynasty, most Immortal Sects, including this Spiritual Crane Immortal Sect, will show me some courtesy. There should be nothing I cannot help with!"

Lin Xuankong frowned. "Then, can Galin Bodhisattva help Mu Shiba pull some strings?"

Galin Bodhisattva paused, turned her head, and smiled. "Mr. Mu, please speak. As long as it concerns matters within the Spiritual Crane Immortal Sect, there should be nothing Galin cannot accomplish!"

Lin Xuankong said with a serious expression, "I plan to participate in the Spiritual Crane Immortal Sect's disciple recruitment ceremony, join the Spiritual Crane Immortal Sect, and become a disciple of the Spiritual Crane Immortal Sect!"

Galin Bodhisattva's smile froze. Mu Shiba wants to join the Spiritual Crane Immortal Sect? How can that be… After I informed Master Yu Zhen about Mu Shiba, Master's instructions perfectly aligned with my own thoughts. We both feel that such a prodigy with such a profound Wisdom Root should ideally be persuaded to join our Spirit Platform Buddhism!

Her clear, intelligent eyes flickered for a moment before she adopted a solemn and dignified expression. "AHEM, this is, after all, an internal matter of the Spiritual Crane Immortal Sect. This request is a bit difficult for Galin… I will consider it and try to find a way!"

After speaking, she gave Lin Xuankong an apologetic smile and quickly walked towards the city gate.

Lin Xuankong was rather speechless. This Little Bodhisattva was so confident just now, but now she's being evasive…

"Godfather, why do I get the feeling this pretty Bodhisattva has some special designs on you? She gave you so many treasures before, and now she's specifically come all the way to the Spiritual Crane Immortal Sect. Don't tell me she traveled thousands of miles just to chase after you? This devotion is simply too touching! Godfather, why don't you just accept her? Actually, if Little Hu's godmother were a Bodhisattva, it would be quite nice to think about!" Li Xiaohu sidled up, making a comical face and wiggling his eyebrows at Lin Xuankong.

Lin Xuankong immediately flicked him on the forehead. "You're always spouting nonsense! Galin Bodhisattva is pure-minded and untainted by worldly desires. She came here for the Spiritual Crane Immortal Sect's disciple recruitment ceremony. How could it possibly be as you imagine!"

Then, he looked at Han Lu, Yang Mountain, and the others. "It's only Little Hu who talks nonsense all day. You all are discerning people, aren't you!"

Han Lu nodded seriously. "We indeed see it very clearly. That Galin Bodhisattva definitely has some designs on our leader!"

Yang Mountain, Hu Shuo, Liy Ruofeng, Liy Ruoqing, Li Er, and the others also nodded seriously, echoing, "Same here!"

Lin Xuankong: ...

He decisively kicked Little Hu's butt. "Hurry up and use the Profound Truth Jade to exchange for Access Jade Tokens! You, fellow, are definitely a bad influence! Yang Mountain and Hu Shuo were originally decent people, but it hasn't been long, and you've already led them all astray!"

Little Hu chuckled for a moment, rubbed his backside, and quickly ran off. Before long, he returned with nine jade tokens, handing one to Lin Xuankong and each of the others.

The group proceeded along the main road and soon neared the city gate. After an inspection by the Spiritual Crane Immortal Sect disciples guarding the gate, they headed into the Immortal City. Near the city gate, cultivators from various merchant caravans, gathered on both sides, watched the endless stream of cultivators entering and exiting, their faces filled with envy! Those who could freely enter and exit Spiritual Crane Immortal City now were all individuals who had paid with Profound Truth Jade. These cultivators from the merchant caravans were mostly here to make money; how could they bear to spend several Profound Truth Jades?

After entering the Immortal City, Lin Xuankong looked ahead. The main thoroughfare of the Immortal City was over twenty zhang wide, spacious enough for dozens of carriages to travel side by side. The road was paved with White Jade engraved with Immortal Patterns, and both sides were lined with various tall Spirit Woods, their branches lush and their forms peculiar.

The cultivators traversing the Immortal City's main avenue were clearly mostly from the various subordinate dynasties of the Immortal Sect. Their attire varied: some wore animal skins and rode fierce beasts several zhang tall; some wore leather outfits and were seated on Immortal Birds with splendid plumage; others rode in Profound Iron Vehicles pulled by horned white horses.

Although most of these cultivators were Ninth-Layer Cultivators, their backgrounds and strength were evidently far superior to the ordinary Ninth-Layer Cultivators of the Great Xia Dynasty. Even Li Xiaohu and his companions, each clad in full Battle Armor, still appeared rather shabby in comparison to these cultivators commanding Exotic Beasts and Spirit Birds.

"As expected of Spiritual Crane Immortal City. Such spacious and clean avenues! Even the Imperial City of the Great Xia Dynasty isn't a tenth as impressive," Han Lu remarked with a sigh of admiration.

Li Xiaohu pouted. "As if you've ever been to the Imperial City of the Great Xia Dynasty!"

Han Lu: ...

Lin Xuankong glanced around, his gaze settling on the southeast. Young Lady Lii Xiaolan had arranged for Third Princess Xiaoo Ying'Er to stay at the Fuyuan Immortal Inn in the southeast of the Immortal City. He had contacted Young Lady Lii Xiaolan not long ago, and she had said she would also be there today.

It has been over a year since we parted ways in Great Marsh Prefecture. I haven't seen Young Lady Lii Xiaolan since then…

Spiritual Crane Immortal City was protected by a No-fly Array. Without the sect's permission or a special sect token, no cultivator dared to fly; otherwise, they would be immediately attacked by the No-fly Array.

Lin Xuankong and his seven companions had no choice but to walk quickly along the avenue. After almost an hour, they finally reached Spirit Happiness Street, where the Fuyuan Immortal Inn was located. Upon arriving, they saw that the street, about ten zhang wide, was densely packed with cultivators on both sides. At a glance, there were thousands, perhaps even tens of thousands, of Eighth Layer and Ninth Layer Cultivators!

These cultivators from various dynasties were either standing on their fierce beasts and Spirit Birds along the street or perched on the adjacent buildings, all looking towards the largest structure at the street's intersection.

On that building hung a golden, glowing plaque: Fuyuan Immortal Inn.

And at the entrance of the Fuyuan Immortal Inn lay a Tier Nine Perfection Earth Dragon, over a hundred zhang long. Above the head of the Earth Dragon, its thousands of tentacles writhing, stood a young master with a face like jade, a tall figure, and a longsword at his waist. Additionally, more than thirty Ninth-Layer Cultivators stood by, each with a hand on their weapon, their gazes fixed on the entrance of the Fuyuan Inn.

Lin Xuankong frowned slightly at this scene. Young Lady Lii Xiaolan and Third Princess Xiaoo Ying'Er should be in this Fuyuan Inn.
