Starting As A Clan Leader: My Rules Are A Bit Wild

Chapter 8: Brainwashing

The next day, early morning.

Lin Fan opened his eyes and stood up.

Crackling!

His bones crackled continuously, his gaze was sharp, and his aura was powerful.

"Condensing Essence Realm... Third Layer!"

"In less than a day, I have broken through a small realm. If it were my own talent, it would take me not just a day, but maybe a month, half a year, or even a year to achieve this!"

Breaking through is not just about the speed of absorbing the Essence Qi of heaven and earth. That is just one aspect.

In addition, it also depends on the "limit" and "bottleneck". With good talent, there are no bottlenecks before reaching a certain realm, just like eating and drinking, it naturally passes.

Lin Fan's previous talent definitely didn't have this possibility, but Xiao Ling'er's talent is truly outstanding!

He felt a thousand emotions and was extremely grateful that he made the right decision.

What's wrong with rules?

As long as they are useful!

"Steady, steady!"

"I am now the master of a sect."

Lin Fan gradually calmed down. "Go and see Xiao Ling'er, and take her to choose a cultivation technique."

He wanted to bring Wu Xingyun along when he went out, but the five elders had nothing to do and were curious about why Lin Fan had set these messy rules.

They were even more curious about why Lin Fan didn't hesitate to choose Xiao Ling'er. So they followed along.

Lin Fan didn't refuse.

It wouldn't affect anything, and it might even make her feel the importance the sect placed on her.

It's a good thing.

...

"Master!"

"Elders, good morning."

Xiao Ling'er was washing up and when she saw Lin Fan and the others, she quickly bowed.

"Good morning."

Lin Fan nodded with a smile. "Did you sleep well last night?"

"I slept well. It's much better than being outside, sleeping under the sky and on the ground," Xiao Ling'er sincerely replied.

During these days, she had been wandering outside, hiding here and there, unable to sleep peacefully.

Last night was the most peaceful night she had in months.

"That's good."

"Let's go to the Sutra Pavilion and choose a cultivation technique suitable for you. After all, it's almost..."

Before Lin Fan could finish speaking.

"What?!"

Suddenly, Wu Xingyun exclaimed, causing him to turn around involuntarily. "Second Elder?"

"You..."

But the Second Elder acted as if he hadn't heard anything, her red lips opened wide, and her beautiful eyes stared at Xiao Ling'er. "You??? Profound Opening Ninth Layer?!"

"How...how is this possible?!"

She was shocked!

Su Xinghai and the other four elders also realized what was happening and were greatly surprised.

"It's really Profound Opening Ninth Layer?!"

They were dumbfounded.

Wasn't she just at the Profound Opening Third Layer yesterday?

How could this happen so quickly?!

Moreover, she clearly fell in cultivation level before. Shouldn't it be even more difficult to cultivate?

Why does she have such a freakish speed?!

Even for a genius, it would take at least a year to go from the Profound Opening Third Layer to the Ninth Layer!

This...this girl...actually achieved it in just one day, or even less than a day?!

"A prodigy?!"

Li Changshou's heart raced, and he blurted out a few words.

She had already surpassed the category of a genius and become a prodigy, a prodigy among prodigies!

It was really hard to believe because they had seen it yesterday and didn't realize how good Xiao Ling'er's talent was!

"Could it be that she used a special method to shield detection?!"

After all, they were "old folks" who had seen a lot, and they quickly guessed.

But if that's the case, then Xiao Ling'er must be extraordinary!

A prodigy, even a monstrous talent, but it had been hidden all along, and she even smeared dirt on her face yesterday.

There must be a big secret behind her.

They were extremely shocked.

But what was even more shocking was how Lin Fan was able to discern it?

Or rather, those new rules for accepting disciples...

They seemed to be more and more wild, and there was no apparent connection between them, and no logical reasoning could be seen. But Lin Fan was able to select such a prodigious disciple based on these new rules!

If they were to be honest with themselves, if it were them, none of these old folks would have accepted Xiao Ling'er.

Don't look at how logical it seems now after analyzing it, and it seems to have secrets.

But before this, could anyone have seen it?

Talking to oneself?

People like to talk to themselves, so what?

Smearing mud on their face?

That's their freedom, what's it to you?

The only thing they can see is talent, but Xiao Ling'er has blocked the investigation and appears ordinary. Although she has cultivation, everyone can tell that she has been practicing for at least eight years.

Eight years, Profound Opening Third Layer, and even fell in cultivation, making it even harder to rebuild.

Who would choose that?

It's completely embarrassing, they wouldn't even give her a second glance.

But Lin Fan, with his unconventional new rules, chose her out of over ten thousand people.

And it turns out, Lin Fan was right!

She actually possesses the talent of a genius!

But how is this possible?

Such unconventional rules can actually accurately find that one piece of gold in the desert?

Why is that?

Based on what?

We completely don't understand, Sect Master!

The five elders were all dumbfounded, their gazes shifting between Xiao Ling'er and Lin Fan, their minds buzzing with disbelief.

At this moment, they were ecstatic.

But more than that, they were shocked and incredulous.

Incredible was the terrifying effect of Lin Fan's new rules.

And shocking was the fact that Lin Fan had an unsurprised expression?

He actually...

Knew in advance?

Otherwise, he wouldn't be so calm!

So, in fact, the Sect Master is the most amazing one, right?

There are many good horses, but few are the ones who can recognize them, right?

Hmm, maybe it's just a coincidence?

...

They were shocked.

But Lin Fan was prepared, and so was Xiao Ling'er.

Having shared Xiao Ling'er's talent, she naturally knew how extraordinary it was.

And Xiao Ling'er knew her current cultivation level, so she naturally knew they would be so shocked, and she just smiled faintly, saying, "Elders, you're exaggerating."

"It's just that the environment in Embracing Moon Sect is excellent, so the disciples' cultivation speed is relatively fast."

With these words, the elders felt embarrassed.

The environment in Embracing Moon Sect, hmm~

"As for the cultivation technique, Master, in fact, I have my own technique that suits me very well, so can I not change techniques?"

When the Grand Elder heard this, he said, "You may think your technique is good, but our Embracing Moon Sect..."

"Grand Elder."

Lin Fan waved his hand, signaling the Grand Elder to stop talking.

Then he said, "Since you have your own opinion, naturally you can."

"Follow me, I'll take you to get the cultivation resources that belong to you."

...

Inside the sect's treasure trove.

There were not many resources left, but they still looked quite abundant, but in reality, they were a bit shabby.

Xiao Ling'er didn't show any signs of disgust, but... the next second, Lin Fan pointed at the spirit stones, pills, materials, and many other resources, calmly saying, "You can freely use the resources here, without any restrictions."

"All, all for me?"

Xiao Ling'er was greatly surprised, her beautiful face filled with disbelief.

The sect's treasure trove was fully open to her?

"Yes!"

"Although Embracing Moon Sect has declined, we are not stingy when it comes to cultivating disciples. We will spare no effort."

"As long as the disciple needs it, as long as... we can provide it."

Clap, clap.

Lin Fan lightly patted Xiao Ling'er's shoulder, looking at her still shocked state, and said, "As a member of the sect, you naturally can enjoy these benefits."

"The sect doesn't belong to me, nor does it belong to anyone else."

"It belongs to all of us."

After saying that, without waiting for her to react, Lin Fan took the still dazed elders and left.

Leaving Xiao Ling'er alone facing the treasure trove.

For a long time, she murmured, "Teacher, Master..."

"He is truly extraordinary!"

The old voice sighed, "Such courage is stunning."

"You must cultivate well and not disappoint his expectations."

"With this sect, your early cultivation will be unimpeded."

"And in the future..."

"Remember to give back to the sect!"

"Definitely!"
