1: Looks like a liar?

“Disciple, I observe your bones are extraordinary, a Prodigy of the Martial Dao, a Dragon among men. From today onwards, I will pass the Sect Head position to you.”

“You must forge ahead, constantly strive, and endeavor to make the Haoran Sect prosper and famous throughout the world as soon as possible.”

Li Luo was a bit bewildered.

Just now, his deceased Master had finished reading the palm of a female Cultivator with a prominent bust and rear, a slender waist, fair skin, and long, beautiful legs.

Then, he hastily ate a farewell meal with Li Luo, tossed him a rusty Sect Head token, and directly chased after that voluptuous and enchanting female Cultivator.

Life is unpredictable!

Hey, you old scoundrel, you've been tricked!

You say you scurried after her, but what did she want from you?

Picking your feet, grinding your teeth, and not bathing?

Li Luo clutched the Sect Head token, his mouth wide open, wanting to curse but unable to.

The crucial thing was, without his Master, what would he do for his next meal?

The Haoran Sect sounded imposing, but in reality, only he and his Master were left.

And his Master, relying on his skill in the I Ching and palm reading, could barely keep the two of them fed.

Now, his Master had run off.

Li Luo buried his head in his noodle bowl; after all, life had to move forward.

The key was that he hadn't received the true teachings of his Master's charlatan ways.

Having Transmigrated from Blue Star, Li Luo felt this helpless for the first time.

This was a world where Cultivators and Martial Artists were everywhere, and Demons and Vicious Beasts ran rampant; he was genuinely a bit scared.

As he ate, Li Luo, enveloped in the steaming mist from the hot noodles, felt like he might have gotten sand in his eyes.

“Ding.”

“Detecting that Little Master’s Soul is different from this world, and the living environment is harsh, the Disciple Recruitment Return System is binding…”

Suddenly, a pleasant voice echoed directly in Li Luo’s mind.

Hearing this voice, Li Luo immediately wiped the mist from his eyes.

After fifteen years in this world, had the System finally arrived?

“System, tell me about yourself.”

“Ding, yes, Little Master.”

“Disciple Recruitment Return System, Little Master can take various Prodigies as Disciples, and will receive System return rewards, with a certain chance of critical returns too~”

“As the Disciple’s strength increases, Little Master will also receive return rewards, with no upper limit.”

The System explained.

Upon hearing this, Li Luo almost burst into laughter.

All these years following his Master, wasn't it because he was afraid of hardship? Day after day, the two charlatans, one big and one small, muddled through life.

And now, with the System arriving today, recruiting Disciples was a guaranteed profit, allowing him to just lie flat.

Comfortable.

There was also an attribute panel, which Li Luo opened.

“Name”: Li Luo.

“Bloodline”: None.

“Physique”: Mortal Physique.

“Luck”: Low Grade.

“Charm”: Medium Grade.

“Realm”: Body Tempering First Layer.

.....

Seeing this attribute panel, Li Luo was speechless. This was called extraordinary bones?

This was practically telling him to cultivate as a Mortal... Thankfully, he had the System.

The immediate priority was to quickly recruit Prodigy Disciples, so, in a flash, Li Luo gulped down the large bowl of noodles, broth and all.

Full and satisfied, Li Luo directly grabbed the banner his deceased Master, who had run off with someone, had made, which read 'Pulse Reading and Palmistry', and walked out.

“Steamed buns, steamed buns.”

“Crisp pears, crisp pears…”

“Strength water, strength water…”

Qinghang Town was still very lively during the day, with various hawkers' cries echoing endlessly along the streets.

Li Luo, rated as having Medium Grade Charm, was graceful, fair-skinned, and remarkably handsome.

Holding the banner, he truly had a bit of an Immortal's demeanor.

“Wuwu... Selling myself to bury my father, please, kind sirs, have mercy.”

Just as Li Luo’s eyes scanned around, searching for his 'prey', he suddenly heard intermittent sobs and soft cries.

“Tip: Detecting an extraordinary Physique, Little Master, seize this opportunity~”

The prompt in his mind immediately made Li Luo’s eyes light up.

“Excuse me, excuse me.”

Around the Xiao Hu who was selling herself to bury her father, a crowd of onlookers had already gathered.

Li Luo struggled to push his way through, amidst a chorus of curses along the way, finally squeezing in.

First to catch his eye was a straw mat, on which lay a dark-skinned man with many gruesome wounds on his body, as if he had been gnawed by a Vicious Beast.

This made many people sigh with emotion.

They lamented that the world was not peaceful, with Vicious Beasts causing chaos and harming humanity.

Behind the straw mat, a young girl knelt, in the prime of her youth, with a graceful figure and skin as white as snow.

Even though she was kneeling, her long hair obscuring her face, her faintly visible, delicate white chin suggested a stunningly beautiful countenance.

It was precisely because of this that there were so many onlookers.

“Oh, girl, lift your head and let us see.”

Some people jeered.

However, the girl still kept her head down, sobbing, “Benevolent Sir, you only need fifty taels of silver, and Ji Yue’er will be yours.”

“In this life, Ji Yue’er will work like an ox or a horse to repay your great kindness.”

The girl said sorrowfully.

Ji Yue’er’s words softened many people’s hearts and evoked sympathy.

However, fifty taels of silver was definitely not a small sum. One tael of silver was equivalent to one hundred copper coins.

And a bowl of beef noodles only cost four copper coins.

Fifty taels was enough to cover a family’s expenses for a year.

And what's more, this young girl wouldn't let anyone see her face. What if her face was pockmarked with moles and large black spots?

“Name”: Ji Yue’er.

“Physique”: Immortal Spirit Dao Body (Unawakened)

“Fate”: One of the top ten Physiques on the Heavenly Body List, Innate closeness to the Dao, a favored child of heaven and earth, a future Empress!

“Realm”: Mortal.

“Terrifying!”

Li Luo’s pupils contracted. Regardless of Ji Yue’er’s appearance, he was about to start coaxing... recruiting.

“Move aside, move aside.”

Just then, a rude, low shout came, and the onlookers were forcefully pushed apart.

A greasy, middle-aged fat man in a brocade robe, accompanied by a line of guards, strode over.

When his beady eyes saw the young girl kneeling on the ground, they immediately gleamed with a greenish light.

“Master Qian of Qinghang Town, it’s said that no young girl he sets his eyes on can escape his clutches. He already has more than ten concubines.”

Some people sighed in a low voice.

“Such a fair little girl, lift your head. If Master Qian is satisfied, let alone fifty taels, I’ll buy you for five hundred taels.”

The fat Master Qian wiped his saliva, somewhat impatiently.

“Please pay the silver first, afterwards, Ji Yue’er will naturally lift her head.”

Ji Yue’er said, head bowed.

“She can’t be too ugly, right? Otherwise, she could just lift her head and let people see.”

Someone whispered.

Since they couldn't have her, they naturally didn't want the fat Master Qian to have her either.

Hearing this, the fat Master Qian also hesitated. Fifty taels was nothing to him, but if he bought an ugly woman, that would be bad Luck.

“Our Master told you to lift your head, damn it, didn’t you hear?”

Just as the fat Master Qian hesitated, a guard beside him directly stepped forward, intending to grab the young girl’s hair.

Many people were shocked and angry, but dared not speak.

“Slap!”

However, before the guard could succeed, he cried out in pain, his hand slapped.

It was Li Luo, who had hit him with the wooden pole of his banner.

“This Young Miss has a destined connection with my Haoran Sect. Her person, I, Li Luo, want.”

Li Luo said indifferently.

“Pah, what Haoran Sect? It’s just home to an old swindler and a little swindler.”

Master Qian spat out a mouthful of yellow phlegm, disdainfully.

Hearing this, everyone also cast suspicious glances.
