I Have Countless Clones

All three of them were dressed in black robes. Their eyes were sunken, and their faces were so pale that not a single trace of blood could be seen on them. Their entire bodies emitted a cold and gloomy aura.

The cultivators who passed by the three of them looked wary and subconsciously distanced themselves as though the three of them were some ferocious and terrifying monsters.

Luo Wei whispered, “Fellow Daoist Lin, did you see that? Those three are disciples of the Corpse Sect!”

Corpse Sect!

Lin Shen raised his eyebrows.

Naturally, he knew about this sect.

Or rather, as long as one had stayed in the East Sea Path for a few years, they would know about that sect.

Just as the Blood Sea Sect, the Corpse Sect was also an infamous heretic sect of the East Sea Path. They ruled over White Phosphorus City and were famous for their sinister corpse refinement techniques.

In the East Sea Path, the Flying Yaksha and Immortal Bones of White Phosphorus City could almost stop children from crying at night!

Countless cultivators had died at the hands of the Corpse Sect’s sinister corpses.

At this moment, many people were fixing their resentful gazes on the three Corpse Sect members.

If looks could kill, the three of them would have died long ago.

However, the three disciples of the Corpse Sect acted as if they didn’t see the hostile gazes. They were calm and composed, clearly very confident in their strength.

Retracting his gaze from the Corpse Sect, Luo Wei pointed to another place and said, “Fellow Daoist Lin, look over there. Those are disciples of the Soaring Cloud Sect.”

Lin Shen turned his gaze over again.

Compared to how the Corpse Sect members were treated, the Flying Cloud Sect disciples were much more popular.

Over two dozen itinerant cultivators gathered together and surrounded the three extremely well-dressed Flying Cloud Sect disciples like stars surrounding the moon. They were all smiling and fawning.

Even from afar, one could hear the endless flattery.

The three Flying Cloud Sect disciples only revealed a faint smile from the beginning to the end, carrying a reserved pride.

Yuanling City, where the Flying Cloud Sect was located, could only be considered one of the best second-rate cities in the East Sea Path. It was far inferior to large cities like Dragonside City, Seaview City, and White Phosphorus City.

The Flying Cloud Sect was the only sect in the entire Yuanling City.

With the power of a city gathered on it, the overall strength of the Flying Cloud Sect wasn’t inferior to any of the Nine Suns Sect, Azure Frost Sect, or Raging Waves Sect.

Itinerant cultivators had a hard time cultivating and wanted to join large city sects at all times.

The top sects looked down on them, and they felt that they couldn’t match up to them. Hence, sects like the Flying Cloud Sect became their first choice.

Coincidentally, the Flying Cloud Sect was one of the few sects that were willing to accept itinerant cultivators.

Therefore, wherever the Flying Cloud Sect disciples went, they were often highly sought after by itinerant cultivators.

Luo Wei then pointed out a few more sect disciples.

Among them were people from the Blood Sea Sect.

“Fellow Daoist Lin, did you see that? There are nearly a hundred disciples from the various large sects in this year’s Xuandu Meeting. Be it their cultivation, martial arts techniques, or Dharma treasures and talismans, these disciples are much stronger than disciples of small sects and itinerant cultivators like us. What can we use to compete with them for the Mystic Essence Wood Spirit?

“I can only hope that I’m lucky enough to pick up what the others have missed!”

Luo Wei sighed.

The two young men beside him could not hide their dejected expressions.

If they still had some confidence earlier, then as Luo Wei pointed out those disciples of the great sects one by one, their confidence had long since been crushed to nothingness.

Compared to the disciples of the major sects, the disciples of small sects and itinerant cultivators were indeed incomparably weak and couldn’t compete with them.

Lin Shen pondered for a moment and said, “I heard that there are many powerful figures among the itinerant cultivators. Perhaps there are such figures among the participants here?”

Luo Wei glanced at him and chuckled. “It’s indeed as Fellow Daoist Lin said. At least, I recognize three famous and powerful itinerant cultivators here!”

After that, Luo Wei looked at the surrounding crowd and pointed at three people in succession.

Lin Shen’s gaze moved in the direction he was pointing and saw that the three of them were two men and one woman.

One of them was a man in a gray Daoist robe. He was tall and thin, and his face was fair and beardless. He was about 40 years old and had an expressionless face. He exuded an aura that made him utterly unapproachable.

The other was a fat man who was also over thirty years old. He was fat and looked like a round ball of meat from afar.

However, his expression was quite amiable, and he kept smiling.

Lastly, there was a young woman in her thirties. She had a beautiful face and snow-white skin. She wore a light green flowy dress and had a flirtatious demeanor.

Such a beautiful person should be quite eye-catching and coveted by others.

It was true that this young woman had attracted many gazes, but most of them were filled with fear and trepidation. Only a small number of people coveted her.

From Luo Wei’s introduction, Lin Shen learned that the three names were Yin Xianbin, Guan Zhou, and Yi Sufeng.

“It’s said that the three of them all have more than ten meridians and aren’t as powerful as disciples of the large sects. However, they are itinerant cultivators who have been training on their own for many years. They all have some powerful life-saving methods up their sleeves. In a real life and death battle, many disciples of the large sects aren’t their match!”

Luo Wei’s tone was filled with fear.

Lin Shen nodded slightly, deep in thought.

Itinerant cultivators lacked cultivation resources, so their cultivation progress was far inferior to sect disciples.

For example, in the Nine Suns Sect, as long as the disciple’s aptitude wasn’t too bad, they would be able to reach the ninth level of the Bright Aperture Stage before the age of 30 and begin to condense their spirit meridians.

Someone as talented as Shen Zening was able to take this step before the age of 25.

As for itinerant cultivators, even if they had outstanding potential, they rarely started to condense spirit meridians before the age of 30.

For example, Yin Xianbin, Guan Zhou, and Yi Sufeng were considered outstanding among itinerant cultivators, but they had only condensed more than ten spirit meridians.

Of course, they had been cultivated for many years. Most sect disciples didn’t have the confidence to defeat them.

After hearing Luo Wei’s introduction, Lin Shen already had an idea of the strength of the cultivators here.

After thanking Luo Wei sincerely, Lin Shen returned to Qu Ke and Shen Zening.

After he walked away, one of the two young men couldn’t help but whisper, “Uncle Luo, aren’t you too enthusiastic about that kid?”

Luo Wei glanced at him and said with a smile, “I did a small favor to a disciple of a large sect. It’s beneficial to us. Why not?”

The young man was stunned for a moment before he asked in surprise, “That person is a disciple of a large sect? Which sect is he from?”

“Nine Suns Sect.” Luo Wei smiled.

The young man was enlightened and didn’t question Luo Wei’s words.

He knew that Uncle Luo cultivated a visual technique that allowed him to distinguish the aura of different cultivation techniques. From this, he could determine the sects of cultivators.

It was precisely because of this, as well as the rich knowledge brought about by traveling everywhere, that Uncle Luo was able to know the backgrounds of many cultivators like the back of his hand..
