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

Chapter 96: The Law of Protagonists, Waiting for Your Return in the Mortal World!

"That makes sense!"

"It really does make sense!"

"Just being a disciple of the Embracing Moon Sect, how much have they experienced?!"

"That's settled then!"

Although it seemed slow, in reality, they were communicating through their divine senses, and the speed was extremely fast. Everything happened in an instant, and Xiao Ling'er didn't know what they were talking about.

At this moment, Xiao Ling'er was actually a little nervous, but she didn't show it.

She had even prepared herself to join forces with her teacher and fight their way out.

But...

When the other party spoke again, she was stunned.

"What you said is correct. We have already asked Qin Chuanliu and confirmed what you said. This matter should indeed be resolved."

"Yes, it is said that enemies should be resolved rather than settled. Since it was a misunderstanding and neither side suffered irreversible damage, there is no need to continue entangling."

"When will this cycle of revenge end?"

"Having one more friend is always better than having one more enemy."

Xiao Ling'er was a little confused by their series of words.

She could only guess that it was the Spirit Sword Sect that made them hesitate to act rashly, so she clasped her fists and said, "In that case, the seniors of the Origin Returning Sect are indeed reasonable. In that case, I will take my leave."

Xiao Ling'er wanted to leave.

But she was stopped.

"What do you mean, senior?!" She frowned, her expression gradually turning unfriendly.

"No rush, no rush."

"We are not trying to make things difficult for you, but we have something to discuss."

"Something to discuss?"

"Opportunity!" A female elder nodded with a smile. "For you, it's a great opportunity!"

"Please explain, seniors."

However, Xiao Ling'er wasn't so easily fooled. She didn't believe that pie would fall from the sky.

As the saying goes, "The Daoist goes up, and the water flows down."

"A good bird chooses its tree to roost on!"

But she saw that these elders all had cheerful expressions and their tone was extremely gentle. "You are an unparalleled genius, surpassing countless others in talent!"

"With such talent, it's a waste for you to stay in the Embracing Moon Sect. It's too small, too insignificant, even among third-rate sects."

"You are already a cultivator in the Fourth Realm. The assistance that the Embracing Moon Sect can provide you is too small, almost negligible. It is detrimental to your growth!"

"Why not join our Origin Returning Sect instead?"

"All kinds of techniques, secret arts, even the sect's supreme secret arts, are open for you to practice. All kinds of spiritual plants, medicinal materials, elixirs, are yours for the taking!"

"And our Origin Returning Sect has an Origin Returning Secret Realm, which is the foundation of our Origin Returning Sect!"

"The Origin Returning Secret Realm can only be opened once every ten years. Each time, it can bestow enlightenment upon one person and greatly enhance their cultivation!"

"If you are willing, when the Origin Returning Secret Realm opens at the end of this year, you can be the one to receive enlightenment."

"You don't need to worry about how the Embracing Moon Sect will react."

"If you join our Origin Returning Sect, the Embracing Moon Sect won't be able to do anything to you. And if you consider our past relationship, our Origin Returning Sect can offer some compensation to the Embracing Moon Sect. Perhaps this would be better for the Embracing Moon Sect."

"After all, being a genius like you in the Embracing Moon Sect is not necessarily a good thing."

"They... can't handle such luck! But our Origin Returning Sect is not afraid, we can handle it."

"Changing sects is not an act of betraying one's master and ancestors. Like that swordsman from the Spirit Sword Sect, he was originally from the Eight Sword Sect. It was only after his talent was discovered that he switched to the Spirit Sword Sect."

"If he can do it, you can naturally do it too."

They smiled kindly, each person appearing amiable and benevolent.

At first glance, they didn't look like powerful cultivators who dominated the world.

Instead, they looked like friendly neighbors next door.

And at this moment, they were full of confidence, believing that there would be no unexpected events, and everything was already "settled."

Little did they know, Xiao Ling'er was filled with question marks in her mind.

"Teacher, what are they doing??"

"They have taken a liking to you," the Medicine Granny said with a wry smile. "I have considered many possibilities and even prepared to fight alongside you."

"But I never expected the final result to be like this."

"But when I think about it, their actions are reasonable and make sense."

"Teacher, now that you say that, I understand," Xiao Ling'er calmly pondered and also understood.

"In their eyes, my existence is too threatening. Once I grow up, I will become a major problem and may even destroy the Origin Returning Sect in the future."

"Under normal circumstances, they would naturally want to eliminate me as soon as possible, but with the 'Get Out of Jail Free Card' from the Spirit Sword Sect, they dare not act recklessly."

"Therefore, turning me into 'one of their own' is actually the best choice."

"Yes," the Medicine Granny sighed. "To some extent, they are not wrong."

"Joining the Origin Returning Sect will indeed bring better treatment and more resources, helping you grow faster."

"The Origin Returning Secret Realm of the Origin Returning Sect also has its unique advantages. By receiving enlightenment, it can save you ten years of hard cultivation!"

"So..."

"What is your decision?"

The Medicine Granny asked in Xiao Ling'er's mind.

And she was particularly anxious, closely observing every move of Xiao Ling'er and waiting for her answer.

She was both hopeful and fearful at the same time.

But Xiao Ling'er did not disappoint her.

Without any hesitation, she said, "Teacher is joking. In my life, I only have one sect."

"That is the Embracing Moon Sect!"

"A child does not despise their mother's ugliness, and a dog does not despise their poor home!"

"Master, elders, and the sect have treated me so well. I owe them so much gratitude. How could I betray the sect and leave?!"

"As for resources, secret techniques, and ten years of hard cultivation..."

"I believe that even if the sect cannot provide assistance, I can earn it back on my own!"

"Oh?"

"Have you thought it through?" The Medicine Ancestor's heart was filled with joy, but she still asked, "Choosing another path may still lead to success, but it will likely be ten times or a hundred times more difficult!"

"Teacher!"

"In life, there are things to do and things not to do."

"Although we are women, we cannot be treacherous thieves."

"These words were taught by you!"

"Even if it is a thousand times more difficult, I will not regret it!"

But Xiao Ling'er still did not hesitate, her determination unwavering.

"Good!"

The Medicine Ancestor laughed heartily, "Indeed, I have not misjudged you."

But amidst her laughter, she also felt a sense of desolation.

Back then...

If she had paid more attention to her disciple's character, would she have ended up like this?

At the same time, she was even more satisfied with Xiao Ling'er.

To have such an excellent disciple in her current state, she had no regrets in this life!

At this moment, under the attention of the elders of the Origin Returning Sect, Xiao Ling'er gently shook her head and gave her own answer, "Thank you, seniors, for your kindness."

"But Xiao Ling'er is stubborn and stubborn, only knowing to be loyal until the end."

"So, I'm afraid I will disappoint you, seniors."

"Please do not blame me."

The smiles of the elders of the Origin Returning Sect froze instantly.

"Ah?!"

They were stunned.

Refusal?!

On what grounds?!

They pondered from their own perspective and were certain that if they were faced with such a choice, they would definitely seek it eagerly!

Xiao Ling'er actually refused?!

"What is this?"

An elder couldn't help but say, "Perhaps you don't know how abundant our resources are in the Origin Returning Sect, how many techniques and secret arts we possess, and the benefits of the Origin Returning Secret Realm!"

"Come, let me take you to see our sect's treasure vault and learn about our secret arts!"

"As for the Origin Returning Secret Realm, with your talent, skipping ten years of hard cultivation, it is not impossible for you to reach the fifth realm within a few months!"

"I know, I know all of that."

But Xiao Ling'er remained resolute, "A child does not despise their mother's ugliness, and a dog does not despise their poor home."

"I have already sworn to live and die with the Embracing Moon Sect."

"So, please do not make things difficult for me, seniors."

She directly started acting like a spoiled child.

I have already made a vow. You can't force me to break it, right?

Sure enough, as soon as these words were spoken, the elders fell silent.

Everyone was a cultivator. Once a vow was made, there was no point in trying to persuade further. Trying to persuade further would be acting like a rogue, or even worse.

I made a damn vow. If I break it, I'll die. Are you asking me to die?

If you dare to persuade me, you're just asking for trouble!

"What is this?"

The elders were dumbfounded.

They had considered many possibilities, but they never expected that Xiao Ling'er, this peerless genius, would make such a vow. It was simply unreasonable!

This is beyond being spoiled!

The most crucial point was that now they couldn't even turn their backs on her!

They had already agreed to let go of the matter with the Fan family and Qin Chuan's flow. They couldn't go back on their word, could they?

Their plans had failed, and the joy that was about to come was completely washed away.

Instead, they felt even more upset.

It was uncomfortable.

What should they do?

After their divine senses collided once again, they could only ask the sect master to make the final decision.

Unfortunately, the sect master of the Origin Returning Sect was not present, so they could only contact him through a sound-transmitting jade talisman.

After explaining the reasons as quickly as possible, the sect master was also at a loss.

What kind of situation was this?!

After a moment of silence, the sect master gritted his teeth, "Xiao Ling'er's actions show her character."

"Take her to the treasure vault and fulfill her requests!"

"Give her a copy of the techniques and secret arts she is interested in!"

"Furthermore, I will give her another opportunity!"

"When the Origin Returning Secret Realm opens at the end of the year, she can come. As long as she can defeat the current disciples of our sect, she will be allowed to enter and receive the highest teachings!"

"Sect Master?!"

The elders were shocked.

"This cannot be allowed!"

"Absolutely not, Sect Master!"

"She doesn't want to join our sect, she is not one of us, yet she is treated like this. How can the disciples trust her?"

"This is detrimental to the development of our sect, Sect Master!!!"

"I am well aware of this."

The Sect Master could only explain helplessly, "But as you all have said, although Xiao Ling'er's cultivation level is low, she can fight against higher-level opponents. Even the top disciples are not her match."

"And on this trip, I have also received some news."

"The Golden Era has begun!"

"Many geniuses are about to emerge, causing countless waves of shock and awe!"

"Under the tide of the era, the entire Immortal Martial Continent will be reshuffled. Countless sects and powerful individuals will perish, while a new generation of geniuses will rise, bringing forth a more brilliant era."

"Although our Origin Returning sect is not weak, we are only just not weak. Even among the current disciples, the top ones..."

"Therefore, we must be prepared!"

"One is to befriend Xiao Ling'er. Even if she doesn't want to join, as long as she can protect our sect in critical moments, it will be worth it!"

"The second is to find an unparalleled genius to join our sect."

"So, do as I say!"

The Golden Era is coming?!

The tide of the era will sweep across the entire Immortal Martial Continent?!

The elders were astonished.

But they also understood the Sect Master's concerns. They tried to remain calm and once again stopped Xiao Ling'er.

"Miss Xiao, your loyalty and righteousness truly impress us old folks!"

"In this Immortal Martial Continent, there are not many people with such pure hearts like yours."

"We admire you, admire you!"

"Our Origin Returning sect is most fond of making friends."

"Especially people like you, who value loyalty and righteousness. Come, Miss, please follow me."

"Where are we going?"

Xiao Ling'er was puzzled.

"If we are making friends, naturally we should offer some gifts."

The two female elders didn't hesitate and pulled Xiao Ling'er directly to the sect's treasure vault, removing all the protective formations in front of Xiao Ling'er's astonished eyes.

They even smiled and said, "Miss Xiao, feel free to take whatever you like."

Xiao Ling'er: "???"

Before she could react, an elder came forward with a storage bag and handed it directly to Xiao Ling'er, saying, "These jade slips contain our sect's secret techniques and profound arts. Take a look, Miss Xiao."

"If you find something you like, take it."

"Not bad!"

Xiao Ling'er was even more confused.

Without waiting for her to speak, the Grand Elder continued, "As for the Origin Returning Secret Realm... it is, after all, our sect's Secret Realm. If we were to open it directly for you, our disciples would surely be dissatisfied."

"Therefore..."

"I'm afraid Miss Xiao will have to come at the end of the year. As long as you can defeat the current disciples of our sect, the qualification to enter the Origin Returning Secret Realm will belong to you. They won't be able to say a word against it."

Xiao Ling'er: "(⊙o⊙)???"

She was completely bewildered. Her red lips opened and closed several times before she finally said, "Perhaps you seniors have misunderstood?"

"What I meant was..."

"Huh!"

"I underestimated you, my perspective was too narrow!"

The elders laughed happily and said, "We understand what you mean."

"We are not trying to blackmail or force you to join our sect."

"We simply want to establish a good relationship with you, that's all."

"We only hope..."

They paused, their expressions gradually becoming serious. "We only hope that in the future, if our sect encounters difficulties and you are able to help, you can assist us in overcoming the challenges."

"Oh?!"

After hearing this, Xiao Ling'er was not so surprised.

"Are you seniors overestimating me?"

"Not at all, not at all."

"We only have these things to offer. Please don't reject them."

"Choose freely, take whatever you want. We won't say a word."

They all looked at Xiao Ling'er.

This was an investment, but also a gamble.

Because they didn't know what Xiao Ling'er would take, or how much she would take. They didn't even know if Xiao Ling'er would refuse.

If Xiao Ling'er took a lot but died on her path of growth, then the Origin Returning sect would suffer a great loss.

But the Sect Master had given the order, and they had reasons and justifications. They could only do this.

Xiao Ling'er seemed hesitant, but she was actually communicating with the Medicine Ancestor.

"Teacher, what do you think?"

"Should I accept these benefits?"

"This is not a favor, but a matter of human relations. If you are willing to owe it, you can choose freely." The Medicine Granny chuckled and said, "When I was alive, countless powerful individuals would come with valuable gifts every day to seek an audience with me."

"It seems like giving gifts, but in reality, they have ulterior motives. They want me to owe them a favor."

"At that time, I naturally refused to accept any of them."

"It's your first time experiencing such an event, so it's natural for you to feel conflicted. But whether to accept or not is your own decision."

"Don't think that by accepting their favors, you owe them. They have requests for you, and you only need to fulfill the agreement and help them when they need it."

"But speaking of which..." The Medicine Granny paused. "Inside the treasure trove of the Origin Returning Sect, there are indeed some things that you urgently need. If you accept them, it will save you a lot of time."

"And the Origin Returning Secret Realm can greatly enhance your strength."

"As for cultivation techniques and secret arts... they are useless."

"I see." Xiao Ling'er suddenly understood. "Thank you, teacher, for enlightening me."

Immediately, she looked at the elders of the Origin Returning Sect and respectfully clasped her fists. "Then, I will take my leave."

"Good!"

All the elders smiled.

Even though they had many concerns, at this moment, they didn't show any of them.

Don't lose your composure.

In fact, they had already secretly communicated with each other through their divine senses.

Even if Xiao Ling'er emptied the treasure trove, they couldn't stop her, let alone show a look of despair.

Don't let others look down on them!

Since they had said they would give and take, then they would give and take!

However...

Their attention was always on Xiao Ling'er.

After a while, they breathed a sigh of relief.

Although Xiao Ling'er was selecting items and the things she chose were valuable, at least she wasn't taking everything she saw, so it wasn't too excessive.

They didn't know that at this moment, Xiao Ling'er was actively thinking, while the Medicine Granny was strategizing.

"Take that thousand-year cloud pine fruit and bring the purple cloud stone tree."

"And the purple mushroom sand!"

"Fenghuang grass."

"Dragon blood flower."

"Ten Thousand Grass Spirit Dew!"

"..."

Gradually...

The elders of the Origin Returning Sect began to feel a bit distressed.

"These are all valuable items!"

"And there are quite a few of them, all rare medicinal materials."

"Ah, it seems that after today, the rare medicinal materials that our Origin Returning Sect has collected with great difficulty will be depleted."

"But it's still fine. After all, she is an Alchemist. Taking these things is already a restraint."

"She doesn't want cultivation techniques and secret arts?"

"Huh? She's not choosing medicinal materials anymore, but instead taking Law Treasures?!"

The foundation of the Origin Returning Sect was not lacking!

Inside the treasure trove, there were actually Law Treasures of the 'Dao Soldier' level. Although they were all Low Grade, Xiao Ling'er managed to pick out a set of Low Grade Dao Soldier-level offensive and defensive Law Treasures.

This surprised the Medicine Granny a bit. "Although the Dao Soldier is good, this sword and inner armor are not very suitable for you."

"On the other hand, the set of Supreme Grade Spirit Weapons that Huo Yun'er refined for you can exert more power in your hands than these Dao Soldiers."

"Why did you choose them?"

"I understand." Xiao Ling'er felt a little embarrassed. "But I thought that Master had put in so much effort and planning for the sect, and had given all the good things to us disciples. There shouldn't be any Law Treasures that suit me, right?"

"I will bring them back and give them to Master."

The Medicine Granny fell silent.

But it wasn't out of jealousy, but rather happiness.

It's good to repay kindness!

I'm not afraid that you will repay kindness, I'm afraid that you will be ungrateful.

The two Low Grade Dao Soldiers made the elders of the Origin Returning Sect extremely distressed. Most of them didn't even have one!

But fortunately, they were mentally prepared and didn't show it. When they saw Xiao Ling'er stop, they even advised her to choose more.

Xiao Ling'er, however, softly said, "It's enough."

"The other treasures won't be of much help to me. If I take them, it will seem greedy."

"Thank you, elders, for your kindness. If there is a need for me to take action in the future, I will definitely not refuse."

"We naturally believe in Miss Xiao Ling'er."

They breathed a sigh of relief.

Afterwards, amidst the bewildered expressions of the disciples, a group of elders happily sent Xiao Ling'er down the mountain. This treatment made even the top-ranked disciples frown.

Qin Chuangliu was especially displeased and anger rose in his heart.

"Miss Xiao Ling'er, take care on your journey."

"The journey is long, so please take care of yourself."

"The Origin Returning Sect is your second home. If you have free time, please come back often."

"If there are any precious alchemy materials in the future, we will inform you as soon as possible."

"Senior brothers and sisters are being too formal. Just call me Ling'er."

With such a good attitude from the other party, Xiao Ling'er naturally wouldn't be cold. As the saying goes, repay kindness with kindness. If you treat me well, I will naturally treat you well.

This is Xiao Ling'er.

Therefore, she said again, "If there is anything you need in the future, please let me know. I will definitely not delay as long as I am able to help."

"If you want to rely on me to solve a major crisis, it may still be far away, but if it's something like alchemy, I am quite confident."

"That would be great!"

The elders burst into laughter.

However, they did not take these words to heart for the time being.

They all knew that Xiao Ling'er had excellent talent in alchemy, but she was still a young person after all, just a girl of about twenty years old.

No matter how talented she was, how could she compare to the alchemists they had nurtured for so many years?

But regardless of her abilities, they were happy to see her willingness.

After that, they bid farewell with joy.

When Xiao Ling'er walked away, they exchanged glances.

"This is quite a situation!"

An elder sighed and said, "I never expected it to turn out like this."

"Yes."

Everyone sighed.

"Who would have thought that the sect master would learn such important news on this trip?"

"The Golden Age, we actually caught up with it."

"The winds of change, the surging waves, who knows whether our Origin Returning Sect will thrive or decline after this era?"

"Who knows how many destined individuals will emerge? Compared to them, the Origin Returning Sect is nothing. Who can say for sure what the outcome will be?"

"Let's go."

"The only thing we can do is to do our best to improve our strength and urge the disciples in the sect to cultivate diligently. Every bit of improvement counts."

"That's all we can do."

They nodded one after another.

What else could they do?

At that moment, when they returned to the mountain, they saw Qin Chuanliu, who had grown his legs back, standing on the sect square with a disgruntled expression.

Seeing the elders return, he immediately walked up to them.

"Elders!"

"Disciple is not convinced!"

"Why are you not convinced?" The elders frowned.

"That Xiao Ling'er and I are enemies, why did you treat her like this? Not only did you take her to the treasure vault, but you also personally escorted her down the mountain."

"What merits and abilities does she have to deserve such treatment from the elders?!"

"Even the first-ranked disciples have never received such treatment."

"That's why I'm not convinced!"

The expressions of the elders gradually turned cold.

"Do we need to explain our actions to you, a disciple?"

"I dare not, but I... I'm just not convinced!"

"If you're not convinced, then so be it."

"From today onwards, you are stripped of your position as the second-ranked disciple of Qin Chuanliu."

"Elders, why is this?" Qin Chuanliu was shocked.

"Because you are foolish."

"The position of a disciple is not only about talent and strength, but also about wisdom!"

"What makes you think you can surpass Swordmaster of the Spirit Sword Sect?"

Qin Chuanliu's face turned pale.

And the many disciples of the Origin Returning Sect were also secretly shocked.

Although they didn't know what had happened exactly, they knew that something big was about to happen today!

"This is quite a situation."

On the way back, Xiao Ling'er also sighed.

"I thought this trip was destined to be turbulent and we would definitely have to fight, but I didn't expect that the Origin Returning Sect would actually be reasonable."

Instead of fighting, they presented me with good things to choose from.

Although it was to make me owe them a favor, now that I need these good things, it's not a bad deal.

I even picked a gift for my master.

This trip has truly been full of twists and turns.

Although there were no huge waves, it cannot be explained in just a few words.

Back at the Embracing Moon Sect, Xiao Ling'er took some time to explain her experiences on this trip.

She even presented two Low Grade Dao Weapons, leaving Lin Fan speechless.

In fact, he was also there on this trip.

He had been following from a distance, never showing himself.

He witnessed Xiao Ling'er's battle with Qin Chuanliu.

After Xiao Ling'er joined the Origin Returning Sect, he followed as well.

He had been observing from afar, ready to provide immediate support in case of a war.

But the result...

Xiao Ling'er was happily sent back by a group of elders from the Origin Returning Sect.

At that time, Lin Fan was still puzzled about what had happened.

But in order to avoid exposing himself, he hurried back first.

Only now, upon hearing it, did he know the reason behind the matter.

In his heart, he couldn't help but exclaim, "Wow."

"Wow, there's actually something like this?"

"No wonder you're a protagonist template, encountering adventures wherever you go."

"It seems that the adventure in Origin Returning Sect this time is not something that can only be obtained after a life-or-death situation, but a 'benefit-type' adventure?"

Although the protagonist template is 'unlucky' and trouble seems to find him wherever he goes.

But not everything he encounters in his life is bad.

Occasionally, there are 'benefits' and investors.

Obviously, Origin Returning Sect is one of them.

Lin Fan didn't expect the result to be like this, but regardless, this trip was not in vain.

And his arrangements went smoothly.

If it were someone else, Origin Returning Sect might not have given face.

Even if they could have easily defeated Qin Chuan.

After all, only Xiao Ling'er's reputation is well-known.

That's why Lin Fan didn't ask her to hide her identity when she participated in the alchemy competition.

To accumulate fame!

Fame can bring danger, but in return, it can also bring benefits.

As long as one can withstand the corresponding risks, the benefits brought by fame will gradually manifest, just like this time.

However, it is not easy to withstand the risks ahead and wait for the moment of relief.

"Master, please accept these two Law Treasures."

"Disciple doesn't need them, and as the sect master, how can you not have Law Treasures for self-defense?"

"Although these two Dao weapons are only Low Grade, they are still quite good. If you refine them, disciple will feel more at ease."

Lin Fan is still pondering.

But Xiao Ling'er has already started persuading.

"Such precious treasures."

Lin Fan sighed lightly, "I am unworthy of receiving them."

"Master!"

Xiao Ling'er said seriously, "Why are you saying this?!"

"If it weren't for the master's help and support, how could the disciple be where he is today?"

"If you don't accept them, even if the master and the sect give the disciple any benefits in the future, the disciple won't accept them!"

"You little girl."

Lin Fan shook his head and smiled, "Why go to such lengths?"

"I will accept them."

"Master should accept them."

Only then did Xiao Ling'er smile happily and leave satisfied.

Playing with the two Dao weapons, Lin Fan felt delighted.

Look, this is the correct way to open the protagonist template!

Be good to her, and she will repay your kindness, even overflowing with gratitude.

She thinks about me even when she's at home and brings back good things, even threatening me to accept them~

How nice.

If it were Tang Divine King~~~

Lin Fan shuddered.

"That's why I don't accept them."

Tang Divine King's character is simply not good. He is selfish and can't be trusted. He even thinks he stands on a moral high ground, which is disgusting.

As for Long Aotian...

His character is not a big problem.

Actually, his values are quite upright, but he loves showing off, looks down on others, kills without hesitation, and is greedy.

He always wants to show off no matter what happens.

Even if it's just a disagreement, he wants to kill the other person.

Of course, if it's a beautiful woman, he just takes her into his harem directly~

With my 'Goldfinger', I can actually take in Long Aotian without worrying about not being able to control him. After all, I can share all his strength and have the means of other protagonist templates, so I won't have trouble dealing with him.

But the problem is, I can't stand this guy.

He shows off in front of me from time to time, and he won't bring all the good things to me like the Flame Emperor template...

And Fan Jianqiang's actions are quite cunning.

After thinking it over, Lin Fan still thinks that it's more practical to 'let go' of the likes of Long Aotian.

Otherwise, if I take him in, I'll have to beat him up from time to time, or else it will be troublesome and unlucky.

Furthermore...

If I really beat him up every few days, Long Aotian might not be Long Aotian anymore.

An invincible protagonist who gets beaten up every day...

He won't be able to enjoy it at all.

After thinking it over, Lin Fan firmly believes that his choice is correct.

Some protagonist templates can be taken in, while others cannot.

"I wonder about Tang Divine King~~~"

"Where did you run off to now?"

"But at least you're the protagonist template, so you should still be alive, right?"

"I hope you can bring me more surprises~!"

Lin Fan doesn't like Tang Divine King.

He also wants him dead.

But...

That depends on where Tang Divine King is.

Tang Divine King in the opposing force, annoying?

Bah.

What's annoying? Tang Divine King in the opposing force is my dear baby~!

After arranging everything for Embracing Moon Sect, Lin Fan began seclusion to refine these two Dao weapons.

Only then can Lin Fan share the strength of his disciples; otherwise, he really can't refine them.

Because Dao weapons are supposed to be used perfectly by cultivators of the seventh or eighth realm, but he is only in the fourth realm, let alone using them, it's difficult to refine them.

However, by sharing the strength of others, after stepping into the fifth realm, he can slowly chew on this difficult bone and his strength will also improve significantly.

Xiao Ling'er also began seclusion.

She brought back many good things from Origin Returning Sect and put together a prescription.

Seven Star Soul Ascending Pill!

This pill is extremely rare and not meant for living people, but for...soul bodies.

...

Hao Yue Sect.

After a period of recuperation, Tang Wu has completely recovered and gradually adapted to life in Hao Yue Sect.

As an unparalleled genius, although the cultivation techniques are a bit peculiar, he also enjoys the treatment of an unparalleled genius. As soon as he entered the sect, he became a personally transmitted disciple of the elders and was assigned a spiritual mountain, receiving various benefits almost to the fullest.

This made Tang Wu very satisfied.

"Hmph!"

"From the looks of it, everything I've done is completely correct."

"After the destruction of Yunxiao Valley, I can still have such treatment in the prestigious Hao Yue Sect."

"And Yunxiao Valley, a second-rate sect, treated me like that. It was asking for death!"

"It's only natural that it was destroyed, it deserved it!"

Whenever Tang Wu thinks of Yunxiao Valley, he feels no regret or self-blame, but rather a sense of satisfaction, feeling that it serves them right!

And the only use of Yunxiao Valley was to allow him to obtain the first martial soul, successfully possess the first soul ring, and greatly increase his strength.

However, it's still not enough.

"Sigh."

"I don't know why my adoptive father still hasn't woken up. Could it be that he was killed?"

"...It's probably not the case."

"It's most likely that his spiritual power has been completely exhausted, causing him to fall into a deep sleep. Perhaps, some means are needed to wake him up?"

He began to ponder.

Although his days in Hao Yue Sect are good and he receives good treatment, he always feels that something is missing without his adoptive father's help. And...he wants more!

But his current strength is not enough to contribute to the sect and receive rewards, and his master has been in seclusion all the time, so he can't rely on him either.

Sect missions?

Sorry, he doesn't want to do them.

He doesn't want to do any work.

He wants good things.

What should he do?

Naturally, he needs to find a way to wake up his adoptive father, and then...

Think of a way.

"Replenish spiritual power..."

Tang Wu narrowed his eyes slightly, after a brief thought, he had an idea.

"Just like this!"

"If I target you, it's only because your strength is too low, don't blame others."

...

"Han Li Fellow Daoist, thanks to you this time."

Outside the forest where the monsters are rampant, several cultivators respectfully thanked 'Han Li' with clasped fists.

"Han Li."

Among them, a beautiful girl in a light yellow dress couldn't bear to part: "Can you come with us? When we return to our clan, my father and mother will surely reward you greatly."

"No need."

Han Li smiled faintly, "All good things must come to an end."

"We met by chance, and saving you was just fate."

"If we have fate, we will meet again in the future."

Han Li left.

Leaving behind the girl with tears streaming down her face, unwilling to turn back for a long time.

"Let's go, Miss."

"..."

After bidding farewell to everyone, Han Li took a deep breath and found a cave. He consumed the accumulated spiritual liquid from the past few days and felt the continuous improvement of his talent. His heart surged with excitement.

"This jade bottle is truly amazing."

"There will come a day when I can feel my own growth every day."

"Although it is slow, it is real and without any falsehood."

"And..."

"There are also pills prepared by the sect master."

"After I have taken revenge."

He swallowed a pill and muttered to himself, "Then I will retire to Embracing Moon Sect, contribute to the sect until the end of my life."

"However, after investigating for these days, there is no clue at all. Where exactly is that thief from back then?!"

During this period, he searched for clues and searched around, although his cultivation level was not high, he managed to travel far, far away using teleportation arrays.

He was already about to leave the southwest region.

However, there were still no clues.

Half a day later.

Han Li broke through a small realm and then left his hiding place to go to the nearest immortal city to rest and also to sell some of his gains from this trip.

On the way, he used the disguise technique again and turned into Li Feiyu.

His clothes, originally blue, were changed to red.

It looked quite strange.

"As the saying goes, money moves people's hearts. Selling items easily attracts attention, and it may be necessary to take action."

"Li Feiyu should be ruthless and feared."

"This matter should be done by Li Feiyu."

Qiu Yongqin, or Li Feiyu, thought clearly in his heart.

Although it hasn't been long since he left the sect, he has already grown a lot.

Teaching others is not as effective as experiencing things oneself.

With more experiences, naturally, there is more experience.

After experiencing life and death many times, he has survived, and because of this, he is already experienced!

"But..."

This is a small city.

For Li Feiyu now, it is not considered very dangerous. He spent a day and successfully resolved everything, including any loose ends.

And Li Feiyu's reputation gradually spread within this small immortal city.

The next day, at noon.

Li Feiyu was about to leave, but he stopped at the city gate.

"Huh?!"

He hesitated and looked at a doll-sized girl at the city gate.

She was wearing tattered clothes and looked very thin. Her yellowish hair made her look pitiful.

But she stood straight there, without anyone paying her any attention, just staring into the distance, staring into the distance...

"When I entered the city, she was also here, just like this."

Li Feiyu frowned.

This immortal city is very small, so it is not completely separated from the 'mortals'.

It can be considered as a 'combination of immortals and mortals'.

There are almost no mortals in the city, but outside the city, there are many villages where mortals live.

It is not surprising to have such a little girl here, but such a young girl maintaining this posture day after day made Li Feiyu curious.

After a brief hesitation, he approached her.

"Little girl, what is your name?"

The little girl glanced at him, wrinkled her small face, and said, "I don't know you."

"What are you waiting for? Maybe I can help you."

Li Feiyu shrugged, "But first, you have to tell me."

"I don't have a name."

The little girl didn't lower her head, still looking into the distance, "My brother calls me Yaya."

"What about your brother?"

"He was taken away by an immortal, saying that he would take him to become an immortal."

Talking about her brother, Yaya's words obviously increased, and a smile appeared on her face, "My brother said he will definitely come back to find me, so I am waiting for his return."

No name.

Brother taken away by an immortal, waiting for his return?!

Li Feiyu's heart jumped.

He gently grabbed Yaya's wrist and infused it with Profound Essence...

After a moment, he fell silent.

No talent, an ordinary person!

"Do you want to become an immortal?"

Yaya shook her head, "No, I just want to wait for my brother to come back."

After hearing this, Li Feiyu was even more surprised.

Indeed.

Perfectly in line with the 13th rule of accepting disciples...

If he can be accepted as a disciple, it would be a direct transmission.

"It seems that I have to return to the sect first.

Bring Yaya back."

Although he had his own purpose for this trip, this matter was equally important and could not be neglected!

And perhaps, this is the only thing he can currently do to repay the sect.
