Starting From Fooling the Elderly into Registering for a Cultivation Training Class

Chapter 102: Land Immortal???

“I didn’t expect an evil soul to look like this. This has truly exceeded my expectations.” Qin Chuan couldn’t help but chuckle.

Through his divine consciousness, he discovered the evil soul beneath the castle.

He had thought that all evil souls were extremely ugly and fiendish.

However, the evil soul in the castle looked just like an ingot. It was rather adorable—not at all evil.

To stay hidden from the others in the castle, Qin Chuan exchanged for a spell from the Merchant Shop—Beginner-level Earth Burrowing Spell.

“Earth Burrowing Spell: You can burrow through the ground to go anywhere you want without getting discovered.”

Qin Chuan had only managed to buy a beginner-level spell. As a result, he could only travel a limited distance, about ten li. But that was enough.

After landing on the ground, Qin Chuan silently chanted an incantation. The ground beneath his feet was like the surface of a river. Ripples suddenly appeared.

Then, he disappeared.

When he reappeared, he was already in the strange space under the castle.

“Who is it!”

The moment Qin Chuan appeared, the evil soul instantly opened its eyes, vigilantly observing its surroundings.

This space was like a spider web, with the evil soul as the spider.

As long as something came to this space, it would immediately sense it.

Qin Chuan removed his invisibility and appeared in front of the evil soul.

Upon seeing Qin Chuan, the evil soul was astonished.

The masked man was the only person who knew about this space. It was impossible to get here unless the masked man told him.

Hence, it was doubtful of Qin Chuan’s identity.

“Who are you?”

“Qin Chuan!”

Qin Chuan didn’t try to hide anything. Instead, he directly stated his name.

The evil spirit was stunned. He was familiar with the name. It was the young man who provided the gold.

Instantly, the evil soul became even more alert.

It understood that a person who could sneak up on him had some kind of power.

Qin Chuan’s appearance happened to prove what he had said to the masked man earlier. Qin Chuan definitely had some kind of hidden past. It was a wise choice not to seize his gold.

But why did he come here?

Did the masked man offend him?

At this thought, without waiting for Qin Chuan to speak, the evil soul said, “Mr. Qin, do you need any help?”

The evil soul’s tone and attitude were like that of service staff. It sounded utterly benign.

Qin Chuan frowned. The evil soul’s opening statement was unexpected as well.

As villains, shouldn’t evil souls be more domineering and violent?

Does this evil soul have other motives?

Are they putting up a pretense?

Are they trying to get my guard down and then strike while I’m unprepared?

At this thought, Qin Chuan decided to act first for the upper hand. He no longer concealed his strength.

He closed the Breath Concealing Technique.

In an instant, a powerful aura spread out like an explosive shockwave, enveloping the entire space.

The evil soul’s body trembled as it felt a terrifying pressure that struck deep into its soul.

“This aura?

“A land immortal???”

The evil souls remembered that in the era when martial arts prospered and martial arts cultivation reached its peak, people like Qin Chuan were called land immortals.

It was lucky enough to meet a land immortal in the past, whose aura left a deep impression on the evil soul. It would never forget that aura.

Now that it could feel the same aura, the evil soul was questioning its life.

At that moment, the evil soul was like a frightened kitten. It shivered everywhere, and its body had shrunk a little.

“Lord, please spare me! Please spare me!”

Qin Chuan had merely released his aura, but he had already frightened the evil soul out of their wits.

He was speechless.

Evil souls have no principles.

At the very least, it doesn’t have any dignity.

How disappointing.

The evil soul was kowtowing, and the sound of metal colliding rang out.

Now that the evil soul was so humble, Qin Chuan wouldn’t have any pleasure in instantly killing it.

If that’s the case, I may as well let it speak.

“What kind of evil soul are you?”

“Avaricious.”

Qin Chuan nodded his head in understanding. No wonder it looked like a gold nugget.

“What’s your dream?”

“…”

This question was very sudden.

The dream of evil souls was to destroy the world.

However, this avaricious evil soul knew that it would die on the spot if it said that.

It thought for a moment.

“My lord, my dream is to have no dreams.”

“…”

This answer was another unexpected one.

“Why don’t you have dreams?”

“My Lord, it is because I’m a salted fish[1]; a salted fish that will never rise again.”

Qin Chuan was sweating, feeling as though he had encountered a useless evil soul.

But, he couldn’t figure out everything from just a few words.

No matter what, the existence of evil souls would affect his cultivation.

Since this evil soul had no dreams and was willing to be a salted fish that won’t make a comeback, there was no meaning in its existence. Therefore, it was better to send it to heaven.

When it sensed Qin Chuan’s killing intent, the avaricious evil soul panicked.

It did not know what it had said wrong.

I already admitted that I’m a salted fish, yet this man still won’t spare me?

Present, the greedy evil soul’s desire to live was very strong.

“Lord, please spare my life! I don’t want to die, please have mercy!”

The avaricious evil soul pleaded desperately.

Qin Chuan halted his movements and calmly replied, “Since you don’t have any dreams, there’s no meaning in living. You might as well die.”

Upon hearing this, the evil soul realized what it had done wrong.

Its own cleverness had ruined it.

“Lord, I have dreams. I have dreams.”

“Tell me about it!” Qin Chuan stopped and looked at it with interest.

“My dream is to live.”

Then, the evil soul explained its birth, growth, change of heart, and so on.

It knew very well that it was extremely foolish to have other intentions when facing an expert.

After Qin Chuan heard this, he retracted his killing intent and thoughtfully sized up this evil soul.

“I need a butler now.”

There was indeed a shortage of such a person in the Cloud Mountain Guesthouse.

Usually, everyone was cultivating in the sect and rarely went outside.

Although the Cloud Mountain residential area was only used as a cover for the cultivation base, it still needed someone to take care of it.

Due to the unique nature of the Cloud Mountain Guesthouse, Qin Chuan had not been able to find a suitable candidate.

Now, this evil soul was quite to his liking.

After all, it was free labor. He would let it have a try.

If it did well during the probation period, it would become a regular worker.

If it failed, then he could only send it to heaven.

“Master!” The evil soul turned into a skinny old man and bowed towards Qin Chuan.

Evil souls had two forms: their true form and their human form.

The avaricious evil soul’s true form was the ingot from earlier.

Now, this old man was its human form.

The human form looked almost identical to normal humans.

Therefore, evil souls were often mixed in with human society.

Qin Chuan only found out about this after conversing with the greedy evil soul.

Qin Chuan gave the evil spirit a name. Because its body resembled an ingot, he named it Jin Bao[2].

After that, Qin Chuan brought Jin Bao out.

As Jin Bao left, the space under the castle disappeared.

If the masked man knew that his master had run away with another, he would probably be devastated.
