Infiltrating the righteous path? Just another place to be a sycophant.

“Fellow Daoist… Fellow Daoist, how can you speak like this? Although my talent is lacking, I still… I still have potential! I possess the Ice Spiritual Root of Grade B, how could I…”

Li Yuanrun was anxious and angry. She hadn't expected that the person in front of her would be so impolite and start cursing right away.

But there's nothing to refute it.

After all, she was indeed a useless person in front of Hao Jian.

He's over a hundred years older than others, yet his cultivation level is still below theirs. What else could he be but a piece of trash?

"Bullshit, you're just a Bing Spirit Root, with poor aptitude and an extremely restless temperament. Cultivation is most afraid of being impatient for quick success. This is all you'll ever be. I don't think you're even worthy of that Fellow Daoist Zhao from before."

"That's enough, I'm not going to talk to you anymore."

Hao Jian grabbed Li Yuanrun's wrist, took her pulse, and then let go and left.

"you you……!"

"I get it! You two must have conspired together! You're here to get revenge for him, to deliberately provoke me, not for a blind date at all!"

"You shameless bastard! You people from your great sect are bullying people! Bullying people!"

However, Hao Jian left without looking back, not forgetting to give him a mocking look before leaving.

Li Yuanrun was furious, but there was nothing she could do, since her own sect was no match for the enemy.

Besides, it was others who didn't fancy him.

No, it's because she didn't like him!

"But there's no point in you doing this."

“This will only make my reputation worse. I know you want to stand up for me, but it won’t do any good.”

"It's not just her who's like this... I... what should I do..."

Zhao Dong slumped in his chair, his face full of worry.

Lu An looked at Zhao Dong, with only one thought in his mind.

Damn, I can't handle Boiling Sheep.

"If you marry me, and we achieve great success in dual cultivation, I might even ascend to become an immortal and join the ranks of immortals. That way, you'll only need 388,000 spirit stones to marry a fairy. Wouldn't that be a huge profit?"

"Well... I don't think I'm lucky enough to marry a fairy, so let's forget about it."

These are two cultivators on a blind date. The female cultivator is arrogant and haughty, while the male cultivator is at a loss and has no choice but to give way to the woman who claims to be a future candidate for fairy.

Matchmaker Wang quickly followed the man and asked, "Fellow Daoist, how was it?"

"These female fellow Daoists are all beautiful, but their ambitions are too high. I think I should... I should just give up."

The male cultivator left, leaving Matchmaker Wang bewildered.

Although a few did successfully find partners, compared to the vast majority of people currently going on blind dates, they are truly a drop in the ocean.

Lu An asked, "Fellow Daoist Zhao, I have a question for you."

Zhao Dong replied, "Ask away, Fellow Daoist Lu."

"Does dual cultivation necessarily require a human race?"

"Uh? I wonder what Fellow Daoist Lu means?"

"Does dual cultivation have to be among humans? Can it be among demons?"

Chapter 182 If all else fails, a transvestite will do.

"Uh, usually it's humans, but demons... it seems like demons aren't averse to it either..."

Do demons demand a bride price?

"Never heard of it."

"Wouldn't finding a fairy to be your Daoist partner solve the problem?"

"That's not a good idea... Humans and transvestites are irreconcilable, and besides..."

Just as Zhao Dong was about to refuse, a man with bull horns on his head, leading a female cultivator, passed by in front of him.

Upon seeing Matchmaker Wang, the female cultivator beamed with joy and immediately stepped forward to grasp her hand, saying, "Thank you, Matchmaker Wang, for finding me a wonderful husband. He's far more motivated than those human cultivators."

"I'm glad Miss Zhao likes it. I'm so glad she likes it. I'll be looking forward to your wedding!"

"sure!"

The bull demon and the female cultivator left, leaving Zhao Dong bewildered in the wind.

"It's just an isolated case, how can you..."

"Oh dear, Mr. Xu, please don't do that, I'm shy."

"Ever since I saw you by the West Lake, I have been deeply in love with you. Without you, I don't know how I would live."

"Young Master Xu, she is a snake demon."

"So what if she's a snake demon? Love can transcend the boundaries of species!"

A refined young man in a scholar's robe walked over, accompanied by a woman in a white dress, with her hair piled high and wearing a hairpin, exuding a noble air.

Lu An watched the two people walking towards him, seemingly inseparable, and for some reason felt a sense of familiarity.

It feels like I've seen this somewhere before.

This is the second couple to hold hands.

"Wait, when did they allow marriage between transgender people?"

"Ah, Fellow Daoist Zhao, it's been a long time since you've been here. You may not know that we've recently launched this new service."

"Because many demons need to cultivate with humans to improve their cultivation, and humans also need to cultivate with humans to improve their cultivation. In the past, although the cultivation methods might be a bit resistant, it was still acceptable to make do."

"Moreover, the Hehuan Sect has now introduced new and innovative dual cultivation techniques that can perfectly break down the barriers between humans and demons, making them even more compatible!"

"Moreover, this business is very popular because the demon race doesn't have the concept of betrothal gifts! Many male cultivators like it very much."

Matchmaker Wang continued her explanation at length, leaving Zhao Dong completely bewildered.

First, the God of Love was relegated to the sidelines and replaced by the God of Wealth. Then, intermarriage between humans and demons was introduced. What's next?

The times are changing rapidly.

"My love, from now on we'll be together, never to be apart!"

"My wife, I love you! We will never be apart!"

On the other side, there was a couple who had already gotten together.

"Let us congratulate the newlyweds! Our Red Marriage Pavilion has found another perfect couple! What a joyous occasion!"

"If anyone has any objections, please raise them now. If you don't raise them now, you will remain silent forever..."

The host applauded enthusiastically, but an untimely voice came from the audience.

"I object to this marriage!"

"Yes, we object too!"

"Chu Chu is our Heavenly Fox Clan's goddess, how could she be deceived by this man like this!?"

The crowd below instantly erupted in excitement, but a man dressed in the groom's red suit stepped forward and shouted, "What are you saying? What are you saying? What are you saying?"

"They are a perfect match, a match made in heaven, how dare you, a monster, object?!"

The group looked down at the stage and saw two headless, human-shaped dog demons and toad spirits.

And it's a huge area, what a fantastic live zoo of Where the Wonderful Animals Are!

"Anyone who objects again, I'll chop you all up!"

The man who had just been on stage didn't forget to pull out a weapon and threaten them.

Seeing this, the other monsters also fell silent and then dispersed.

"Whether it's shaped or not, it can be matched."

Hao Jian asked curiously, "If that's the case, then there must be many cultivators who would be happy to accept it, right?"

"That's not the case. Many cultivators with some resources disdain working with demons, let alone forming a cultivation partnership."

"Besides, there's also Lingyun Temple. They're clearly a bunch of bald monks, but they've always opposed human-demon cohabitation, so it's very troublesome."

"However, because many cultivators are too poor, no woman is willing to be their Daoist partner, so there will always be a market for them. But recently, this market has been growing bigger and bigger."

Matchmaker Wang spoke eloquently, directly revealing the current state of the marriage market in the cultivation world.

However, the next moment, she said something even more explosive: "To be honest, we are still working with the demonic sects represented by the Heavenly Demon Sect. This way, it would be a good thing to achieve intermarriage between the righteous and demonic paths."

Not only can they be human or demon, but they can also become partners in the righteous and demonic paths.

"Actually, we have thought about it. The righteous path is said to bring joy to helping others, which can bring great merit. Accumulating merit can gain the favor of Heaven and help with ascension."

"The demonic path is about doing whatever you want, the path of great freedom. Killing is also possible, and evil energy can be used to become an earth immortal or a demon immortal."

"Fairy?"

Lu An suddenly remembered those fairies in skirts, waving magic staffs, and shouting about some kind of energy.

Dead childhood memories began to attack him again.

"Some people even speculated that by killing people to gain demonic energy on one side and saving others to gain merit on the other, isn't this a double benefit of merit and evil energy? Ascending to immortality is just around the corner!"

What kind of merit-generating machine is this? Catching fish and then releasing them, right?

The war between fishermen and those who release animals into the wild.

"Fine, I can accept any of that. If there's really no other way, the demon race isn't out of the question either..."

Zhao Dong was about to face reality when a couple of men walked over, seemingly inseparable, which left the three of them puzzled once again.

I'll punish you properly tonight!

"Darling, you're so naughty, so please be gentle..."

Two muscular men, dressed in children's robes but exuding masculinity, walked over. One of them was shorter than the other and nestled in his arms like a woman.

They walked by as if no one else was there, completely ignoring the strange looks from those around them.

However, some people were clearly used to it and completely ignored the two of them.

“These…these two men…”

"Same-sex cultivation practitioners learn pure yang techniques, so it's impossible for them to cultivate with women. However, cultivating with men can be twice as effective!"

After he finished speaking, another couple walked over from the other side.

"My little darling, I'll fix this with you properly tonight!"

"Oh, don't do that... don't let tonight go on too long..."

The two women, like the two men before them, were snuggling together, clearly a lesbian couple.

"The two women practice a pure Yin cultivation method, so they don't need male practitioners. Naturally, it follows the same routine, which can achieve twice the result with half the effort!"

The three of them were truly amazed; the scope of expertise offered by the Red Marriage Pavilion was indeed vast!

There are transvestites, men and men, women and women, and both righteous and demonic beings.

It's true that everything can be a matchmaker!

"Wow wow wow!"

"Meow meow meow meow!"

As they were talking, two creatures with human bodies but the heads of a cat and a dog walked out hand in hand.

"Ah, this is the connection made by the demons. It's a newly opened business, not very popular yet, but we're getting more and more inquiries from demons."

Through comprehensive matchmaking, the three people's values ​​were shaken.

Then Zhao Dong's worldview began to collapse in every aspect.

"I...I also want a female demon cultivator..."

"Alright, Fellow Daoist Zhao, what kind of demon cultivator do you want? Here we have fox spirits, cat spirits, snake spirits, dog spirits, tiger spirits, leopard spirits..."

"If you don't like animals, we can also provide plant spirits, flower spirits, grass spirits, tree spirits, and we can further subdivide them, such as peach blossom spirits, camellia spirits, and aquatic plant spirits..."
