I Might Be A Fake Cultivator

Yang Lingqian stared at the man before her with shock and confusion on her face.

She was struggling to believe her ears. “What did you say?”

“I have a mission to rescue two thousand concubines from the Spring Light Palace and make them develop fondness toward me in the process. I need your help with this,” An Lin said with an extremely earnest expression.

Yang Lingqian: “…”

She didn’t think Exalted Immortal An Lin was this kind of person!

It made sense though. Weren’t all men like this?

Yang Lingqian thought to herself with a disconsolate expression. All exalted immortals were revered by countless people, so it was normal for them to have massive harems.

But for some reason, she had felt that the White-Robed Exalted Immortal was different…

“I still don’t understand… Why would you choose Feng Wuya’s concubines? This is a very risky plan. Can’t you just set up your own harem?” Yang Lingqian was still perplexed.

“Huh? I think you’re misunderstanding something. I only want to save them and give them freedom, not to make them my concubines,” An Lin said with a speechless expression.

Yang Lingqian’s bright eyes suddenly began to ripple with joy. “Really? Then why do you need them to develop fondness toward you?”

“Er… You can think of that as a weird fetish of mine…” An Lin chuckled. This was actually the system’s weird fetish!

Yang Lingqian looked at An Lin with a pout on her face. “You really are a weird immortal. Alright, I’ll be happy to help. What do you need me to do?”

She wore a disdainful expression, but for some reason, she was feeling quite elated.

An Lin began to elaborate on his plan. “So on so forth, so on so forth…”

…

Thus, their plan of conquest was officially set into motion!

During the next month.

One of the new concubines of the Spring Light Palace suddenly became very active.

She was Yang Lingqian!

Yang Lingqian visited all of her fellow sisters under the guise of making new friends here, and she would sometimes even organize some small gatherings within the Spring Light Palace.

Immortal King Feng Wuya was still cultivating in seclusion, so all of the concubines were afforded a great deal of freedom during this period of time.

Yan Ji had a part-time role of looking after the harem, so she was quite happy to see someone trying to improve the relationships between all of the concubines. Hence, after observing things in secret for a while to make sure nothing sinister was going on, she did not interfere with Yang Lingqian’s efforts.

Even though not all of the concubines were happy to be visited by Yang Lingqian, all of them had to keep up appearances, so they still greeted her with a smile and conversed with her in a friendly manner.

Thus, Yang Lingqian visited almost all of the concubines within the Spring Light Palace during this period of time!

These were not just pointless visits, of course. She would always lead the conversation to a range of set topics, which comprised of how they had come to the Spring Light Palace, as well as what their attitudes were like toward Feng Wuya and the White-Robed Exalted Immortal.

Was she worried about the concubines not telling the truth?

Not at all! An Lin had entrusted her with his trusty lie detector, the Vermilion Bird Mirror!

If the concubine told Yang Lingqian that they liked Feng Wuya but the Vermilion Bird Mirror told her that they were lying, then that concubine would be a target for her!

Yang Lingqian would then ask them what they would think if the White-Robed Exalted Immortal was to come to the Spring Light Palace to rescue them.

If they said something along the lines of “Hmph! The White-Robed Exalted Immortal is a horrible man, and I’ll never go with him”, but the Vermilion Bird Mirror told her that they were lying, then Yang Lingqian would surreptitiously record their names in a small journal…

A lot of women did not speak their thoughts, and this tendency was made even more apparent by Feng Wuya’s dictatorial rule. Even without anyone around, most of them still didn’t dare to speak the truth.

At a time like this, the Vermilion Bird Mirror was basically a divine tool!

It could tell Yang Lingqian whenever someone was lying, thereby allowing her to glean the truth.

“Phew… I’m exhausted!

“Please reward me, White-Robed Exalted Immortal.”

Yang Lingqian flirted as she lay down on her bed with a cheeky smile. Her red dress was like a blossoming rose, accentuating her enticing figure to perfection as she stared up at the white-robed man beside her with a hint of anticipation in her clear eyes.

If a normal cultivator were to see this now, they would be thinking that Yang Lingqian wanted a physical reward. However, An Lin knew that that was not what she wanted.

He pulled out a third-grade spirit rank Sun Fruit from his storage ring before tossing it to Yang Lingqian. “Thanks for your hard work. This is your reward. It will enhance the purity of your spiritual energy.”

Yang Lingqian accepted the spirit fruit and nibbled on it happily.

“Hmm… Exalted Immortal, all of the spirit fruits that you have given me are so unique. I’ve never seen any of them before, even on spirit fruit textbooks, and all of them are imbued with extremely pure energy!” Yang Lingqian praised as she ate.

“Of course, these fruits are local products from my hometown, so of course they’re delicious.” An Lin smiled.

“Local products?” Yang Lingqian blinked. “Where IS your hometown?”

“I’m not telling you.” An Lin didn’t want to reveal this.

“Fine! It’s not like I care anyway.” Yang Lingqian pouted, but she still devoured the spirit fruit.

After interacting with An Lin for a while, Yang Lingqian was no longer as reverent and respectful as she initially was.

After all, An Lin was extremely easygoing and casual, thus making it extremely difficult for her to make the connection between him and the second most powerful being on this continent.

Thus, the two of them were becoming more and more like friends.

When she thought about it, Yang Lingqian was still in disbelief. Never would she have thought that she would be able to befriend a powerful being of this caliber. Perhaps this was part of Exalted Immortal An Lin’s unique charm and charisma.

An Lin had never looked down on her or demonstrated a sense of superiority because of his cultivation base. On the contrary, he was always quite concerned about whether her mission was tiring her out and whether she was going to encounter any danger.

“An entire month has passed, and we have finally completed the first stage of our plan.” Yang Lingqian was completely reinvigorated after consuming that spirit fruit.

“There are a total of three thousand five hundred and twenty concubines within the Spring Light Palace, among which I refrained from visiting some as they held sensitive positions. In total, I interacted with three thousand two hundred people, and two thousand eight hundred of them have a positive impression of you.”

An Lin was elated to hear this.

Even though the White-Robed Exalted Immortal was only the second most powerful being on this continent, he was much more handsome than Feng Wuya!

Furthermore, he came and went like the wind, and his elegance and grace had earned him a legendary status, which drew many fans!

Yang Lingqian rolled her eyes at the sight of An Lin’s smug expression. “Among those, there are two thousand three hundred concubines who I can confirm were forced here by the Immortal King and want to escape from this place… As for whether they will develop fondness toward you and leave with you in spite of their fear of Feng Wuya, that’s not something I can predict…”

An Lin nodded upon hearing this.

This was something that no one could predict. Perhaps the concubines themselves might even change their minds over time.

“That’s alright. It looks like I should have enough concubines to complete my mission at the very least.” An Lin was full of vigor as he said, “Now then, it’s time to initiate the second part of my plan!”
