Chapter 2522 Hostility out of Nowhere
As Lin Xun was marveling, a kind, otherworldly-looking old man approached him and said with a look of appreciation, “Little friend, you have a high forehead, a very special physique, and from your noble appearance, your constellation is the Ziwei enclosure, which less than one in ten thousand cultivators have. If you would like to, this old man can guide you to the way of immortality.”
The speech was a classic one of charlatans, but the old man said it with sincerity and cherishment.
Lin Xun was stunned, “Alright.”
The old man laughed happily, “Very decisive of you. In the quest for the great dao, it is precisely an opportunity like this that you fight for and seize. Congratulations, today you have hit a great fortune. By the way, little friend, what is your name?”
Lin Xun said, “Lin Xun.”
“Great name! Uh...wait, you said your name is Lin Xun?” The old man was just about to throw praises when the realization jolted him. His eyes went wide, his body stiffened, and the muscles on his face twitched intensely.
He took a deep breath and asked, “Then...where are you from?”
Lin Xun answered with a smile, “The Ancient Nebula Road.”
The old man looked like he was being struck by lightning. After standing there with his mouth agape for a long time, he laughed dryly, “Ahhh, I suddenly remember that I still have something to attend to. Excuse me.”
Whoosh! He vanished.
Lin Xun sneered. It was apparent at a glance that the old fogey was a seasoned fraud in this city. He only dared to exercise his skill without scruples thanks to the rule that forbade violence. Otherwise, he would have been slapped to death many times over.
Walking the streets, Lin Xun came across many similar sights. Newly arrived cultivators were quickly surrounded by experts from Immortal Imperial Clans, who enthusiastically extended invitations to them in an attempt to solicit talent.
