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

Chapter 82: Waste Stream, Palm Heaven Bottle, Tang Divine King's Entry - W Word

Lin Fan himself has a High Grade cultivation aptitude.

Different aptitudes result in different amounts of elemental spirit qi that can be absorbed within a given unit of time. If the amount of elemental spirit qi absorbed between each breath is called "one fan," then after fusing with other people's talents, one can try to absorb elemental spirit qi and subtract "one fan" to determine the remaining portion, which is called "several fans," allowing for a direct distinction.

"Speaking of which, while others are based on other people, how did it become about oneself when it comes to me?"

For example, a refreshing feeling, a flower west coin~

Shared!

Lin Fan first ended the sharing of other people's talents, then separately initiated the sharing of Qiu Yongqin's talent, and then attempted cultivation and absorption of elemental spirit qi.

After a moment, Lin Fan opened his eyes.

"Approximately two fans in total?"

"The speed of absorbing elemental spirit qi is close to mine."

"This is somewhat strange."

Something's not right!

According to Lin Fan's speculation, his High Grade aptitude is at most C-grade or D-grade talent, which is a far cry from A-grade.

How did it meet the conditions for sharing?

Could it be that there was a problem with his memories when he transmigrated, and it's not only A-grade and above that can be shared, but C-grade is also acceptable?

"···"

"But that's not right."

"Otherwise, I should be able to share the talents of the five elders, right?"

Sharing is not limited to one's own direct disciples.

As long as the conditions are met, anyone from the sect can share.

So if it's C-grade, Lin Fan should have been able to share the talents and strength of the five elders a long time ago!

"What could be the reason?"

"···"

"Huh?"

"Wait."

"Qiu Yongqin is different from others and cannot be treated together."

Lin Fan had a sudden realization.

"Other people's talents may be innate and have always been like this, so it's very 'intuitive.' But Qiu Yongqin is different. Even when I shared talents with him yesterday, he wasn't there."

"In other words, his talent must have improved between yesterday and today and met the conditions for sharing."

"Moreover, an A-grade talent doesn't necessarily have to be a Cultivation Talent; it could also be other talents!"

"Or..."

"There are external objects that can assist and enhance his A-grade talent, but I don't have that item, so in terms of perception, the bonus brought by Qiu Yongqin's talent is only 'one fan,' the same as mine."

"Although it's just a guess, it's highly probable."

Lin Fan was certain that Qiu Yongqin's talent was definitely not as good as his before this.

When they entered the sect in their era, there were strict and comprehensive talent tests, so the quality of their talents was easily discernible.

"This is somewhat unexpected."

"Those with acquired growth aptitude, these people..."

"Could it be that they are the protagonists of the waste stream?!"

Speaking of protagonists, there are actually only three main types.

Waste stream.

Pseudo-waste stream.

Unrivaled genius stream.

About a dozen years before Lin Fan transmigrated, the waste stream was prevalent. It was a trend, and most of the fantasy and cultivation novels at that time were about the waste stream.

After Emperor Yan, the pseudo-waste stream began to rise.

At the same time, the unrivaled genius stream also rose rapidly.

The unrivaled genius stream also has a branch, the brainless pleasure faction, represented by Long Aotian, Zhao Ritian, and perhaps Ye Liangchen.

But in recent years, it's rare to see the rise of waste stream protagonists.

So before this, Lin Fan almost ignored the "setting" of the waste stream, as too many years had passed and his memories had long become fuzzy.

But Qiu Yongqin's change at this moment made him suddenly realize.

The Immortal Martial Continent is so vast, with an almost endless population. It's not strange to have waste stream protagonists!

Wait!

"There's a problem!"

Lin Fan frowned, "It's not strange to have a waste stream protagonist, but what's strange is why they happen to appear in the Embracing Moon Sect?"

"And, one Xiao Ling'er is fine."

"Fan Jianqiang was brought back by me voluntarily, so he can be considered an exception."

"But what about the Posture of the Great Emperor Wang Teng? It can also be classified as an unrivaled genius, just one that was stepped on by the protagonist."

"Now there's another waste stream protagonist, Qiu Yongqin?"

"In this small area, not to mention the Immortal Martial Continent, even in the southwestern region, it's just a tiny place. Why are there so many protagonist templates or unrivaled geniuses popping up one after another?"

"This is obviously not right!"

"And what about me?"

Lin Fan won't delude himself or underestimate himself.

No matter how you look at it, he should also be considered one of the "protagonist templates," right?

If you add yourself, how many days of arrogance and protagonist templates will appear in this tiny place?

"When did protagonist templates become so common? There's a problem!"

"But we can't draw conclusions too early."

"Perhaps Qiu Yongqin just had an opportunity, not a protagonist template."

"Let's bring him back and find out."

Shaking his head lightly, he dismissed these stray thoughts and began to share their combat power.

Lin Fan is currently at the Fourth Grotto-Heaven Realm First Layer.

Fan Jianqiang is at the Fourth Realm Third Layer, Xiao Ling'er is at the Fourth Realm First Layer, and Wang Teng is at the Fourth Realm First Layer.

After sharing their combat power, Lin Fan's cultivation temporarily increased to the Grotto-Heaven Realm Eighth Layer, not far from the Ninth Layer.

In addition, Qiu Yongqin is at the Second Condensing Essence Realm Fifth Layer...

Still at the Grotto-Heaven Realm Eighth Layer, no change.

After all, the cultivation of the Second Realm is not enough compared to the Fourth Realm, especially at the Eighth and Ninth Layer stages.

"It seems there's an adventure."

"When he left, he was at the Second Realm Third Layer, right? In about ten days, he has already reached the Fifth Layer, advancing two or three small realms."

"It's worth paying attention to!"

At this moment, Lin Fan wants to figure out what exactly is going on with Qiu Yongqin. For a while, he is somewhat distracted from his cultivation.

But he quickly adjusts his mindset and enters a state of cultivation.

...

Yu Lin Palace.

After finishing his day's work, Wang Yulin subconsciously called out, "Tenger."

There was no response for a long time, and he frowned, "Has the young master not returned yet?"

"Master." An elder bowed, "The young master went out to fetch seawater and has not returned yet. But he was seen taking the teleportation array to the South Sea, so he should be back soon."

"Why did he go to fetch seawater?"

"It is said that he is practicing the Invincible Technique."

"???"

Wang Yulin was puzzled, "But the Great Sun Burning Heaven is obviously empowered by the Strange Fire, relying on the fierceness and unique operation of the Strange Fire. Why does he need seawater?"

"Could Tenger have been deceived by Lin Fan?"

"This... Master, I don't know. I asked the young master at the time, but he didn't want to say."

"Never mind."

Wang Yulin sighed lightly, "The Posture of the Great Emperor..."

Just then, an elder came to report, "The young master has returned!"

After a moment, Wang Teng returned with a joyful face.

"Dad."

"It's good that you're back." Wang Yulin breathed a sigh of relief, "Was it dangerous?"

"There was no danger. I just went to fetch some seawater, nothing important."

"That's good, but... Tenger, think carefully about your master, I mean the Invincible Technique that Lin Shu passed on to you. Is there anything wrong with it?"

"What's wrong?"

Wang Teng shook his head, "There's nothing wrong."

"Then why did you go to fetch seawater? The Invincible Technique clearly relies on the fierce and high temperature of the raging flames, but as the saying goes, water and fire don't mix..."

"Dad, you don't understand!"

"I have also made a solemn vow about the Invincible Technique, not to pass it on to others."

Being questioned by his father, Wang Teng was quite unhappy, "Moreover, the Invincible Technique is different from what you imagine. It is extremely profound and mysterious. I have my own use for fetching seawater."

"Dad, you don't need to worry about it."

"When I succeed in cultivation, I will be invincible at the same level. Becoming an immortal and a progenitor is just a matter of time!"

Wang Yulin: "(⊙o⊙)···"

Alright, alright, alright!

Is that what you're saying?

He could only say, "Fine, you have your own opinions since you were young. I believe you won't be easily deceived by others. But this matter is of great importance, so you still need to be careful."

"I know, Dad. Let's not talk about it. I'll go to the secret room to cultivate the Invincible Technique!"

"..."

Watching Wang Teng's quickly retreating figure, Wang Yulin fell silent for a while.

What a "I don't understand."

I'm already several hundred years old, and I've eaten more salt than you've eaten rice. You're saying I don't understand?!

But then he thought, who else would spoil his eldest son if not him?

Uncomfortable!

Damn it!

Entering the secret room, Wang Teng waved his hand and activated the formation, isolating the inside and outside.

"Begin!"

He took a deep breath, took out a ball of seawater, and began to try "electrolyzing water" and separating and extracting the so-called "hydrogen gas" as Lin Fan had said.

As a cultivator at the Fourth Realm, using a few small spells was a piece of cake.

Even if he didn't have a talent for lightning, using lightning spells wasn't too difficult. However, he quickly discovered that electrolyzing water was easy, but separating the oxygen and hydrogen gases after electrolysis was difficult.

Don't even mention separation.

Just observing and distinguishing is extremely difficult.

With his spiritual consciousness fully activated, he repeated it dozens of times, exhausting himself to the point of dizziness and almost fainting, just to barely discover the difference between oxygen and hydrogen.

However, he was tired but happy.

Although it was tiring and difficult, at least it proved that his master did not deceive him!

Electrolyzing water can really produce hydrogen and oxygen!

Next, he would try to collect, separate, and understand hydrogen, and then isolate hydrogen atoms separately, and try to produce deuterium...

For Wang Teng, difficult and arduous years were coming.

But he was tireless and any small progress would make him excited for a long time, bursting with a sense of accomplishment.

...

In the evening of the same day, Daqing Mountain.

Li Changshou searched all the way, looking for Qiu Yongqin's trace, and finally came here. His spiritual consciousness swept over and finally discovered his trace.

"Huh? Hiding in a wild bear cave, keeping company with wild bears?"

"His physical condition is excellent and he has not suffered any injuries. Instead, he has broken through three small realms in just a few days."

"But his spiritual consciousness fluctuates violently, as if he has been stimulated."

...

After a brief analysis, Li Changshou determined that Qiu Yongqin was fine, so he also relaxed and immediately appeared in front of Qiu Yongqin with a flash.

At this moment, Qiu Yongqin was cultivating.

Li Changshou did not disturb him, just waiting quietly.

Until the moon rose above the willow branches, Qiu Yongqin finished his cultivation, slowly opened his eyes, but the figure in front of him surprised him.

"Who?!"

Seeing the person clearly, Qiu Yongqin was stunned, then embarrassed, and quickly got up and saluted with clasped fists, "Third Elder, disciple..."

"I can see that you have experienced a lot."

"But it's all in the past. Come back with me to the sect."

Li Changshou was not so curious and did not inquire further.

And if he wanted to say something, he would naturally say it.

Qiu Yongqin bit his teeth lightly and then smiled bitterly, "Third Elder, I can't go back."

"The nurturing and teaching of the sect, if there is a chance in the future, I will do my best to repay it. But now, I can't go back."

Li Changshou frowned slightly.

He had already guessed that it would be like this!

Qiu Yongqin's condition was not too bad, but his spirit had clearly been hit.

If he wanted to go back, he would have gone back on his own a long time ago, and wouldn't have waited for Li Changshou to find him.

But with the order of the sect master, he naturally had to bring him back.

Moreover, as a disciple of the Embracing Moon Sect, how could he say that he wouldn't go back just because he didn't want to go back, or that he would be expelled from the sect just because he said so?

Regardless of the reason, it had to be explained clearly.

"I won't ask why."

Li Changshou sighed lightly, "I came here on the orders of the sect master."

"So, you have to come with me."

"Even if you have a thousand reasons, you can discuss them with the sect master."

"You should also have some understanding of the sect master's character. He has principles and is reasonable. If you have any issues, you can tell the sect master."

"I believe the sect master won't be too hard on you."

Of course, the premise is that your reasons are reasonable~

Qiu Yongqin fell silent.

Then he sighed, "Third Elder, it's not that I want to leave the sect for no reason, but now, if I have any connection with the Embracing Moon Sect, I'm afraid it will be detrimental to the sect."

"Protecting disciples is the responsibility of the sect." Li Changshou didn't say much.

"Come back with me."

"Or I'll tie you up and take you back."

Qiu Yongqin: "..."

He was dumbfounded.

What happened to reasoning?

At the same time, he also knew his own capabilities.

Although the jade bottle was extremely mysterious and could drip a drop of spiritual liquid every day to help him cultivate and slowly improve his talent, it was still not enough.

With his current strength, he couldn't even withstand a slap from the Third Elder.

He couldn't resist at all.

Instead of toasting and not eating, it was better to be honest.

Besides, he really didn't have any bad intentions, he just didn't want to burden the sect.

Going back would be fine.

"Third Elder, what you said is right, I will go back with you."

"That's right."

Li Changshou smiled slightly, then waved his sleeve, using his great magical power to lift Qiu Yongqin, and the two of them instantly rushed out of the cave and disappeared into the sky.

The whistling sound echoed in his ears.

The big brown bear opened its confused eyes.

What the hell was that?

On the way, Li Changshou still didn't ask.

This calm and composed demeanor made Qiu Yongqin unable to hold back anymore and said, "Disciple doesn't want to burden the sect."

"Because there will inevitably be killing afterwards, even a massacre."

"If it's because of my personal matters that burden the sect, my conscience will be uneasy."

"A massacre?"

Li Changshou pondered for a moment and made a guess, "If I remember correctly, your hometown is on the Daqing Mountain, right?"

Combined with the fact that when his divine sense swept over the Daqing Mountain before, he didn't find a single living person other than Qiu Yongqin.

What happened was already self-evident.

Qiu Yongqin lowered his head, his eyes turning red.

"The weak are prey to the strong in the Immortal Martial Continent." Li Changshou gently stroked Qiu Yongqin's head and sighed, "Big fish eat small fish, small fish eat shrimp. This is an eternal rule. Even cultivators like us are like this, let alone ordinary people."

"But unlike ordinary people, cultivators can fight back and struggle when faced with danger."

"But when ordinary people encounter attacks from cultivators, they have no means to defend themselves."

"Some demonic cultivators have a nature of killing, or they need blood for their special demonic techniques, so they will slaughter a large number of living beings."

"The human race is the leader of all beings, with the most spiritual intelligence, so..."

"But this hatred cannot be forgotten. It is your hatred and also the sect's hatred."

"Why do you have to bear it alone?"

"Third Elder..."

Qiu Yongqin couldn't hold back anymore and choked, "I understand, I understand it all, but all the villagers are dead, all my relatives..."

"My parents, uncles, even my younger sister died tragically. She was only twelve years old, twelve years old!"

"There wasn't even a complete corpse left, almost chopped into pieces!"

"This kind of deep-seated hatred must be avenged, and I will repay with tooth for tooth, eye for eye!"

"When I become powerful through cultivation, I will find the real culprit and kill all their relatives!"

"This may bring disaster to the sect!"

"The sect has treated me very well. I regard the sect as my second home. How can I bear to let the sect bear the risk because of me?"

"..."

"You are a good child."

Li Changshou smiled and shook his head, "But as the saying goes, in life, there are things to do and things not to do, and the sect is the same."

"We will never let our disciples shed blood and tears."

"Nor will we neglect our disciples out of fear of being burdened..."

"Otherwise, the lineage of Embracing Moon Sect would have long been extinguished."

At this moment, Li Changshou felt a bit emotional.

Why did he stay in Embracing Moon Sect?

With his cultivation at the Fourth Stage of the Eighth Ninth Layer, he could easily join any third-rate sect or even a weaker second-rate sect and live a comfortable life. So why did he always stay loyal to Embracing Moon Sect?

Inheritance!

He still remembered when he was young and just entered Embracing Moon Sect, the care his sect and seniors showed him.

And the many examples set by his seniors!

Since childhood, a seed was planted in his heart, leaving an indelible mark.

And he was convinced that Su Xinghai and the other three were also the same, that's why they never left Embracing Moon Sect.

If the upper beam is not straight, the lower beams will be crooked.

But if the upper beam is straight, the lower beams will not be crooked either.

Because if it's too crooked, the upper beam will clean up the sect itself.

Moreover, Li Changshou would take out the sect rules written by Lin Fan and read them several times every day, and by now, he had memorized them backwards.

Although the sect rules revealed a lot of "tolerance" and "submission," there was not a single sentence or word that said to abandon disciples.

Especially in the case where the disciple seeks revenge and may bring hatred, the sect should not abandon him, but rather maintain a clear relationship.

Absolutely not!

At most, before the disciple's strength is sufficient, they should be restrained and taught to endure.

Then...

If you don't make a move, you won't see any results.

And you need to bring out someone who is at least three realms higher than the strongest opponent to exterminate the sect.

And if the opponent is at the Seventh Stage...

Then at least a group of Eighth Stage cultivators, or even a Ninth Stage cultivator, should lead the attack!

In Li Changshou's opinion, this was indeed being overly cautious, but didn't it show that the sect leader was responsible for the safety of the disciples and the sect?

Embracing Moon Sect...

Qiu Yongqin knelt down as soon as he saw Lin Fan.

"Sect Leader."

"Disciple..."

"Get up and speak."

Lin Fan helped him up and said, "Don't worry about anything, just tell the truth."

"Sect Leader."

Qiu Yongqin stood up again, choking once more.

Then he recounted his experiences.

Speaking of the tragic death of loved ones, his murderous intent rages.

Speaking of hatred and revenge, his eyes turn bloodshot.

But when it comes to the sect, he hesitates greatly, unwilling to burden the sect...

Upon hearing this, Lin Fan couldn't help but feel a jump in his heart!

The entire mountain village will be wiped out!

Are cultivators getting involved?

This...

It feels strangely familiar!

Indeed, it is the template routine of the protagonist from at least a dozen years ago, starting with a village sacrifice, then obtaining a precious treasure, and finally making a comeback after being considered trash.

"It seems like I guessed right."

"His talent can be elevated to above A-level, not because of his own aptitude, but because of that precious treasure, which gives him the potential to grow. In the future, he is destined to be above A-level, or rather, with the possession of that precious treasure, his cultivation speed is already not weaker than that of a cultivator with A-level talent."

"However, what exactly is that precious treasure still needs to be carefully understood."

"And the most urgent matter at hand is to appease him."

Lin Fan took a deep breath. "My condolences."

"For such a deep-seated hatred, it must be avenged! Otherwise, how can we, as sons and relatives, have peace of mind?"

"But don't be anxious. To strike iron, one must be strong. If one's own strength is insufficient, how can revenge be achieved?"

"And this matter will also be taken over and assisted by the sect."

"Don't be afraid of causing trouble. As cultivators, we don't seek to live long in this world, we only seek a clear conscience!"

"As the sect master, as fellow disciples, if we ignore this matter or even drive you out of the sect, our conscience will be uneasy!"

Qu Yongqin, moved and anxious, said, "But Sect Master, for the sake of just one person..."

Lin Fan waved his hand, interrupting his words, and said, "As the saying goes, everyone is for me, and I am for everyone."

"Today, you take pride in the sect, and in the future, the sect will take pride in you."

"Today, the sect stands up for you, and if there is a future, you will stand up for the sect."

"This action is not just for you, but for anyone who encounters such a situation, the sect will do the same!"

Once again, the 'CPU' starts, and Lin Fan is already familiar with it and doesn't feel awkward anymore.

It's even a bit satisfying.

Don't mention it~

That's why those company leaders like to make promises and 'FKU' their employees, right?

It's really satisfying.

It's a divine technique if used well!

But if used poorly...

It will backfire.

If it were in modern times, people who have been 'abused' would probably not be affected much by Lin Fan's ordinary PUA rhetoric. It might even be secretly mocked by others.

But in the Immortal Martial Continent, where strength is respected, although people also use strategies, they prefer to rely on fists, strength, and passionate blood.

As for what PUA is, they have no idea.

They don't understand!

So, the effect is excellent!

Moreover, Lin Fan's words are not just empty talk, but sincere and heartfelt.

Because he and the Embracing Moon Sect are bound by fate!

To ensure the health and rapid development of the Embracing Moon Sect, psychological construction is essential.

Otherwise, even if the Embracing Moon Sect has a group of protagonists, it will become a 'breeding ground' and a 'chaotic battle', and its collapse and annihilation are just a matter of time.

Once the sect is destroyed, Lin Fan will be in trouble!

Qu Yongqin trembled all over, tears the size of beans rolling down his face, and the emotions of 'a scholar dies for his confidant' instantly spread.

Plop!

He knelt down again and said, "Please teach me, Sect Master. I am willing to pay any price to avenge this blood feud!"

"Get up, there's no need for that."

Lin Fan helped him up again. "You are a disciple of my Embracing Moon Sect, and you naturally have the right to cultivate the techniques of my Embracing Moon Sect."

"Let's do this."

"Third Elder, grant Qu Yongqin the authority of a direct disciple, and he can access all five levels of the Sutra Pavilion."

"As for which technique to choose, it's up to you."

"The corresponding treatment will also be improved."

"Thank you, Sect Master!"

Qu Yongqin did not refuse.

He wants revenge!

This blood feud requires strength and blood to appease.

"No need for that. This is your tribulation and your opportunity. Go, and don't think about leaving again. From now on, the sect is your home!"

"I understand, Master."

Qu Yongqin bowed deeply, then turned and left.

Lin Fan suddenly spoke again, "Did you come across any special opportunities?"

"Disciple... found a jade bottle." Qu Yongqin reached into his pocket, took out the jade bottle, and held it in his palm, wanting to present it.

Lin Fan just glanced at it and gently waved his hand.

"No need to give it to me, or anyone else. This is your opportunity, don't let anyone take it away from you."

"Go and cultivate."

Qiu Yongqin was deeply moved in his heart.

He was already certain that although he didn't know the origin of this jade bottle, it was definitely a precious treasure!

In this Immortal Martial Continent, any item that could enhance a cultivator's aptitude and talent was a precious treasure!

Not only could this jade bottle achieve that, but it could also help with cultivation. The spiritual liquid it produced every day could enhance one's talent. If this continued, how astonishing would his talent become?

Moreover, he felt that this jade bottle was extremely mysterious and must have other uses, but he didn't understand them for now.

With such a precious treasure, he originally wanted to offer it to Lin Fan and repay the sect for nurturing him. However, he didn't expect that Lin Fan would only take a brief look and then warn him not to give it to anyone else...

How could he repay such behavior?!

He knew that in the Immortal Martial Continent, when faced with such a precious treasure, even masters and disciples, brothers, and even father and son would fight each other to the death!

But the sect master didn't show any greed, and the third elder didn't show any other reaction. This was really...

For a moment, Qiu Yongqin had many thoughts.

But when they all gathered together, only one sentence remained.

How could he not give his all for such a sect?!

Moved!

Qiu Yongqin left.

Lin Fan, on the other hand, gradually pondered.

"A jade bottle that is only the length of a thumb, engraved with patterns of mountains, rivers, and vegetation, and can help improve cultivation and talent..."

"Could it be a treasure similar to the Heavenly Palm Bottle?"

"But it doesn't quite match up."

"The village being slaughtered, isn't that Zhang Xiaofan's experience? The Heavenly Palm Bottle-like treasure should be Han Immortal Venerable's cheat, right?"

"No, no, that's not right. I shouldn't think like this. If I do, I'll be too fixed in my thinking."

Lin Fan suddenly woke up.

"Who said the protagonist template must be exactly the same as its prototype?"

"Who said that after the village was slaughtered, I must pick up a 'stone' or something like a 'burning stick'?"

"Treasures can come in various forms."

"The early experiences are also different. If we have to restore everything one-to-one, where can we find it?"

He was startled by this sudden realization and almost broke out in a cold sweat.

Fortunately, he reacted quickly and realized it. Otherwise, he might suffer later.

At this time, Li Changshou was still standing obediently on the side, not asking any questions, which made Lin Fan feel a bit bored.

This third elder was good in every aspect, but he seemed too indifferent and uninterested in everything. However, he always completed the tasks assigned to him satisfactorily.

He couldn't start a conversation every time, which was really boring.

"Third Elder."

Lin Fan took the initiative to guide, "Are you really not curious at all?"

"About Qiu Yongqin's experience and the origin of that jade bottle."

"Curious," Li Changshou scratched his head.

"Then why don't you ask?"

Why don't you ask?!

If you ask me, I'll tell you.

If you don't ask, how can we talk about it?

"I'm actually curious too."

Li Changshou scratched his head for the second time, embarrassedly saying, "But I dare not ask."

"Why?"

"My master once told me that the more you know, the faster you die and the more dangerous it becomes. So gradually, I stopped asking and suppressed my curiosity."

"..."

Lin Fan was shocked.

So "steady"?

Combined with the name of the third elder, he pondered.

Something's not right!

Could it be another survivor? No, it should be said that it's a survivor from the previous generation?

Still not right. If it's a survivor, their strength wouldn't be so limited, right? Although I might not be able to see through his strength, the fact that I can't share his talent and combat power is enough to show that he's not a protagonist template.

Could it be that he's just a simple survivor?

"What else did he say?"

"He said a lot of things, mostly profound sayings, but I couldn't learn them." Li Changshou scratched his head for the third time, feeling embarrassed. He said, "I only remember that before he passed away, he said I was stupid and couldn't learn his way..."

Case solved!

The survivor from the previous generation was Li Changshou's master.

Even if he's not a survivor, he's still someone who survived through the Dao. If he's still alive, he must have had something in common with Fan Jianqiang. Unfortunately, he has long since passed away.

As for Li Changshou, he almost became someone who survived through the Dao.

Unfortunately, he didn't have that "talent" and wasn't "sufficiently persistent"?

"..."

Lin Fan pondered and said, "Do you want to know?"

"To be honest, I'm quite curious."

"But you just said all that, so for the sake of your safety, I won't say anything, okay?"

Li Changshou: "??!"

I, an old man, want to hit someone!!!

Li Changshou is stunned.

"By the way, Third Elder, do you know about the experiences of our Embracing Moon Sect over the years?"

"Through generations of oral transmission, coupled with personal experience, I know some things."

Although he wants to hit someone, Li Changshou has undergone extreme tempering of his character over the years, so he can still withstand it and respond calmly.

"What does the Sect Master want to know?"

Lin Fan nodded: "That's good. I have observed the records of the sect, but they are too sloppy and vague. Many things are not clearly written, so there are indeed some things I want to understand."

"Let's start with the inheritance."

"The most important thing for a sect is strength, followed by inheritance, and resources come third."

"If there is no strength, no inherited techniques, and abundant resources, it is nothing more than being slaughtered by others."

As the saying goes, storing grain without swallowing a gun, your family is a granary.

In Lin Fan's opinion, this sentence is quite classic!

"So, I want to understand the matter of the inheritance technique, Law Manifestation, and the whereabouts of our Embracing Moon Sect's techniques and secret arts."

Li Changshou nodded: "Let's start with the inheritance technique."

"Our current inheritance technique is the Swallowing Moon Spirit Art, which can be cultivated to the peak of the fifth realm."

"But in fact, this is not the original inheritance technique of our Embracing Moon Sect. Embracing Moon Sect, named after the moon, was once prosperous in the southwest region, relying on the inheritance technique!"

"But it is not entirely accurate to say that it is not the Swallowing Moon Spirit Art. It should be said that the Swallowing Moon Spirit Art is only a part of our early inheritance technique."

"It can also be said..."

Li Changshou pondered slightly: "I don't know how to describe it specifically."

"Simply put, it is a technique that a predecessor comprehended after failing to comprehend the inheritance technique, and then comprehended a technique based on the inheritance technique. It has been passed down since then and is called the Swallowing Moon Spirit Art."

"And originally, it should be the Swallowing Moon Immortal Art."

"Swallowing the essence of the Taiyin, from the first realm to the ninth realm, is extremely complete. Those with sufficient talent can practice it to the ninth realm and then achieve Immortal Ascension!"

"And the Swallowing Moon Immortal Art contains various Divine Abilities and secret arts."

According to legend, it is not inferior to the teaching techniques of those Sacred Lands. The fundamental reason why they were defeated in that battle was actually due to their heritage.

Compared with the heritage of the Ten Thousand Flowers Sacred Land, the heritage of our Embracing Moon Sect is almost non-existent.

Lin Fan felt somewhat "refreshed".

Okay.

The Yunxiao Valley issue has not been resolved, the Haoyue Sect doesn't know when it will emerge, and the Spirit Sword Sect is always looking for trouble every year.

And there is an old grudge with the Sacred Land above?

However, he does remember clearly from the sect records that Embracing Moon Sect once competed with the Sacred Land and was "defeated in seconds".

Since then, their once brilliant luck began to decline and falter.

"The Sect Master doesn't need to worry too much. It is said that there were special reasons for the battle between the Ten Thousand Flowers Sacred Land and us, and it was not a life-and-death struggle."

"So, there is no need to worry about the Ten Thousand Flowers Sacred Land holding a grudge."

"I'm not worried about that."

Lin Fan waved his hand.

With Embracing Moon Sect in its current state, would the dignified Sacred Land still hold a grudge against them?

Even a direct gaze would be beneath them!

Moreover, if they really held a grudge, there would be no Embracing Moon Sect after that battle.

However, this thing is scary!

"Let's get back to the point. Where is the Swallowing Moon Immortal Art?" Lin Fan asked.

"It should be in the hands of the Ten Thousand Flowers Sacred Land," Li Changshou honestly replied.

Lin Fan: "???"

Damn it, I thought they wouldn't pay attention to Embracing Moon Sect. How come even the inheritance technique is in someone else's hands?!

How can we get it back?

This is bad!

"I don't know the specific details, but it is indeed in the hands of the Ten Thousand Flowers Sacred Land, and it was not taken by force, but was voluntarily handed over by the sect's predecessors."

"Also..."

Li Changshou frowned slightly, searching for that extremely elusive memory: "It seems that it was also said that when our Embracing Moon Sect has outstanding disciples, they can go to the Ten Thousand Flowers Sacred Land to represent Embracing Moon Sect and retrieve the inheritance technique."

"But in these years..."

The remaining words, Lin Fan didn't need to hear to understand.

Embracing Moon Sect has become worse with each passing generation, and now it looks like this. Obviously, no one is qualified to retrieve the inheritance technique, and no one dares to go.

After all, it is the Sacred Land!

"If there is a chance, it can be tried, but don't have too much hope." Lin Fan whispered.

After so many years, it is hard to say whether the Ten Thousand Flowers Sacred Land still remembers this matter.

"Okay."

Li Changshou agreed with Lin Fan's statement: "As for other techniques, inheritances, and many spiritual mountains and resources, they have mostly fallen into the hands of the Haoyue Sect."

"They were the ones who made the most ruthless move back then."

"The rest..."

"Among the sects in the southwest region that have been passed down for more than ten thousand years, most of them have a share."

Li Changshou wanted to scratch his head, but halfway through, he helplessly put it down and smiled bitterly.

"For those sects that have not been passed down for ten thousand years, they have no chance to snatch our techniques and inheritances. As for those that have been passed down for more than ten thousand years, they have gained some benefits at the cost of bloodshed."

"After all, when the wall collapses, everyone pushes."

"There are also some things that have not been passed down for ten thousand years, but are now long gone."

At least it must exist for ten thousand years in order to qualify to snatch things from the Embracing Moon Sect.

But it does not mean that the forces that snatched things ten thousand years ago are still around.

Because...

Ten thousand years is too long, and many forces have already been destroyed.

"So, does this mean that the forces in the Southwest Territory that have inherited for more than ten thousand years are almost all debtors who haven't repaid their debts?"

Are they everywhere?

Lin Fan frowned.

Damn it, is everyone coming to my house to steal things?

This is unreasonable!

Mine, mine, everything is mine!

Those are all my things!

You guys deserve to die!

No, I have to take them back.

Take them slowly!

And charge interest!

But now...

Cough.

First, I need to develop sneakily.

...

Hurry up and catch up.

Tang Wu finally arrived outside the Yunxiao Valley.

Looking at the endless valley, as well as the lush and misty Ling Mountain surrounding it, Tang Wu couldn't help but feel good.

"Teacher, my choice was indeed correct!"

"The power of Yunxiao Valley is not just a hundred times stronger than the Embracing Moon Sect?"

"This magnificent scenery, this endless sect territory..."

"This is the sect I should join!"

A storm is coming.

From now on, this will be the place where I, Tang Wu, rise!

I will prove myself here, achieve an invincible belief, and cultivate unparalleled power at the same level!

The old man in the ring: "..."

Before he could speak, he heard Tang Martial Dao again: "With my talent and temperament, I believe Yunxiao Valley will surely go all out and tilt all its resources to cultivate me."

"The day of proving is not far away!"

The old man in the ring hesitated to speak, but in the end, he remained silent.

He wanted to give him some advice, so that he wouldn't be like this, but then he thought that it might affect his enthusiasm.

However...

His own choice, was it right or wrong?

The old man once again fell into self-doubt.

He always feels that this disciple is a bit strange.

...

Tang Wu, full of confidence, entered the Yunxiao Valley to pay his respects.

But...

The ideal is full, but the reality is extremely harsh.

Yunxiao Valley is indeed open for paying respects at all times.

Tang Wu does have talent and has entered the sect.

But because he cannot expose his 'cheat', the talent he shows is actually just average.

And then...

He was assigned to the outer sect.

In an instant, Tang Wu was furious.

"I, I... How dare you assign me to the outer sect?!"

"What else can I do?"

The elder in charge of the review looked down from above with a cold expression.

Tang Wu: "Fine, fine, fine!"

"Thirty years in the east, thirty years in the west!"

"Don't bully the young and poor~!"

"Are you planning to leave?" The elder remained unfazed.

Tang Wu: "..."

"I will become a true high-ranking member of Yunxiao Valley one day, and you will never be able to reach my level!"

"Outer sect disciple, number 19527, go." The elder didn't care at all, took out a token and threw it to him, chuckling.

Tang Wu clenched his fists instantly.

This laughter...

It's too grating!
