If I want to be her disciple, does that mean she has to accept me? What benefit does she get from accepting me?"

He hesitated.

Then, he sought help in the group again.

After all, the system's benefits should be taken advantage of.

"Great ones, I'm on my way to seek apprenticeship, but I don't know if they'll accept me. Any suggestions?"

(Chapter End)

"Little Mage," he said, "It's not that simple. It's not just about the number of people involved."

"I, Holy Lady Knight, agree. It's done with the gift."

"For the sake of your life, I think you should be willing to to take risks now. A disciple is so fierce, so the the there must be even more powerful individuals within the sect!"

"They've all said their piece, but what they're talking about are external objects. I'll add that it's..."

"It's not just about external objects. Even if they want your butt, you should wash and prepare it yourself."

"Do you understand what I mean?"

Su Yan: "??? Me? Don't scare me, are there gays in the cultivation world?"

"Heh." Si Wuya laughed. "I can answer this question. Not only are there gays in the cultivation world, but there are quite a few. Because these people live long lives, over time, there will naturally be some who want to try things they've never experienced before."

"There's also a portion of people who, due to their cultivation or entering a state of demonic possession, will develop such a preference."

"So, it's hard to say for sure."

Su Yan: "!!!"

"Holy sht!"

He was startled.

But then, he began to consider if he could accept it.

In the end, he sighed and said, "Our luck shouldn't be this bad, right? Although the newbie period is full of bad luck, they're still 'death tribulations' and not humiliation."

"Mhm, no problem."

"As for my most precious thing..."

"The Eight-Nine Profound Art?"

"This is a cultivation method that can achieve immortality!"

...

"Master."

"He is Su Yan." In the Embrace Moon Palace, Xiao Ling'er respectfully bowed and then transmitted her voice, "I can sing the complete 'March of the Volunteers'."

"Yes."

Lin Fan nodded slightly.

Fan Jian Gang and Zhu Rou Rong looked on with bright and spirited eyes.

"Let's hear you sing it once?"

Fan Jian Gang suggested.

Su Yan was startled, and then realizing what was happening, he was shocked.

Could it be...

Are these people all from his hometown?

So many people from his hometown?

With a nervous heart, he began to sing.

After the song ended, the three of them were secretly pleased.

But Lin Fan wasn't in a hurry to take on disciples. Instead, he asked, "What year is it in our hometown now?"

"The year 2018 of the Great Tang Dynasty."

"Great Tang Dynasty?"

Su Yan blinked, "Tang Country, you mean the Great Tang Dynasty?"

Xiao Ling'er looked on indifferently.

Yes, it was indeed a world he didn't understand.

He had long gotten used to it.

If he didn't understand, he would just listen to the story.

And now, hearing about the Great Tang Dynasty.

Lin Fan, Fan Jian Gang, and Zhu Rou Rong exchanged glances, all feeling a bit surprised.

But Su Yan had realized something, "Could it be..."

"Our hometowns are a bit different?"

"Perhaps."

Lin Fan's mind raced.

He couldn't help but think about the possibility of parallel universes.

He tried to ask further, "Before you left our hometown, what was the most popular song in the country?"

"Where is my love?" Su Yan replied, "The hottest one is this song."

"!"

Indeed, it wasn't the same world.

He had never heard this song before.

"Do you know Phoenix Legend?"

"Huh?" Su Yan was perplexed.

Further confirmation.

This person was from his hometown, but not exactly a 'fellow townsman'.

However, at least he was a transmigrator.

Since he was a transmigrator, he should be a protagonist, a cheat character.

No problem.

It's just best if he's a protagonist template.

Lin Fan fell into deep thought.

Seeing Lin Fan's contemplation, Su Yan couldn't sit still.

What if he doesn't accept me? What if he kicks me out? Then I'll have to live on thin ice again, with my life hanging by a thread every day.

Su Yan spoke up, "That... Senior, I came in a hurry and didn't prepare any formal disciple gifts. But I have a cultivation method that I'd like to offer to you, hoping you'll accept me as your disciple."

Lin Fan was surprised, "You want to give me your cultivation method?"

"But you already have a cultivation method?"

"Yes."

"It's the Eight-Nine Profound Art!"

"..." Lin Fan was shocked.

"..." Fan Jian Gang was also taken aback.

"..." Zhu Rou Rong was equally astonished.

Holy sht!

This guy has the Eight-Nine Profound Art?

Is it the same one as the one cultivated by Guanjiang Port's Holy Manifestation True Lord?

Or is it just a namesake?

Or is Su Yan's cheat so powerful?

There are some things Lin Fan couldn't bring himself to say.

But Fan Jian Gang was a sensible person. He spoke up, "Is it the Eight-Nine Profound Art you're thinking of?"

"The one cultivated by the person from Guanjiang Port?"

Su Yan nodded, "Yes."

"Holy sht!"

Lin Fan was in awe.

Damn!

This guy's cheat is so powerful that he directly gives such an amazing cultivation method.

"Are you really going to hand it over?"

Lin Fan was perplexed, and this choice to hand over such a powerful cultivation method was indeed perplexing.

Could it be that he has an even stronger cultivation method?

Is it the even more powerful Eight-Nine Celestial Art?

The Great Profound Heavenly Art?

"I have nothing else to offer."

"Since you already have such a powerful cultivation method..." Lin Fan's heart stirred, and seeing that Lin Fan was already moved, Su Yan's determination grew stronger.

Moreover, this is still better than selling your butt, right?

"I only have this Eight-Nine Profound Art that is worth your attention. Please, Master, don't reject it."

"I humbly request that you accept me as your disciple. From now on, I will live and die for the Embrace Moon Sect. I will be a person of the Embrace Moon Sect in life and a ghost of the Embrace Moon Sect in death!"

"I will always put the sect's interests as the top priority, never betraying it. If I ever betray the sect, may I suffer endless pain that no one can bear, enduring agony for eternity."

"Master, I can see that my junior brother is sincere. Please accept him."

Fan Jian Gang remained sensible.

He stepped in to 'mediate'.

Lin Fan nodded. "Alright."

"Since he's so sincere, I won't reject him."

"From now on, you will be my eighth direct disciple."

With Lin Fan's current status, he was only considered Lin Fan's disciple. Xiao Ling'er, Fan Jian Gang, Wang Teng, Ya Ya, Qin Yu, Zhu Rou Rong, Huo Yun'er, and Su Yan—that made eight disciples.

"Thank you, Master!"

Su Yan was overjoyed and quickly bowed, making the ground reverberate with the sound of his head hitting the floor.

Finally!

Finally, ahhhh!

He finally had someone to rely on.

That damn newbie period, a death chat group, don't even think about harvesting me!

I'm going to turn the tables and harvest the entire world.

Ahhhh!

At this moment, he was incredibly excited.

For half a month, he had been walking on thin ice, dancing on the edge of a knife, constantly worrying about suddenly dying for inexplicable reasons, driving him almost insane.

But at this moment...

The system prompt sounded again.

Ding~

Congratulations, host, for successfully persuading. Reward: 'Memory Extraction Crystal' x1, which can copy selected memory fragments and encapsulate them into a 'Jade Slip'.

Su Yan: "..."

"Damn system, are you doing this on purpose?"

He noticed a problem.

The Persuasion System stated that after successful persuasion, random rewards could be obtained.

But judging from today's rewards, they seemed random yet not 'that' random.

For instance, the previous invincibility field—without that, he would have died.

Or the previous prompt—without that, he would have been killed by Long Ao Jiao.

And now, this reward...

He had just been thinking about offering the Eight-Nine Profound Art, worrying that copying it would be too troublesome and slow, and then the system gave him this...

"But, if this reward is indeed what I need, that would be truly amazing!"

"Even if not all of it is urgently needed, as long as half of it is, then I've hit the jackpot!"

Without further thought, Su Yan immediately began operating the system. He 'copied' the Eight-Nine Profound Art and respectfully presented it to Lin Fan.

To others, it appeared as if he had simply taken out a regular jade slip from his storage bag.

Lin Fan accepted the jade slip and probed it with his divine sense.

After a moment, he calmly put it away.

"Indeed, it's the Eight-Nine Profound Art."

"You're thoughtful!"

"Ling'er, your junior brother's condition isn't good. Take him to choose a Spirit Mountain as your own dojo, and get him some pills for healing and cultivation."

"Yes, Master."

Xiao Ling'er responded.

Su Yan also heaved a sigh of relief.

It seemed everything was truly settled.

But, how could he let go of such a great opportunity to freeload?

"Thank you, Master. But Master, in your opinion, what should I, your disciple, prioritize right now?"

Lin Fan contemplated briefly. "Improve your cultivation."

"Only by doing so can you face any potential crises that may arise."

Upon hearing this, Su Yan was shocked.

Hiss!

Could it be that his Master had seen through him completely, even knowing that he was in the death newbie period, being hunted by the Heavenly Dao...

Hmm?

No!

The Master seemed to be a 'fellow traveler', and since they were both transmigrators, they must have experienced the death newbie period too, right? And the two senior brothers as well?

That made sense.

Su Yan nodded, "With the guidance of a great Master like you, disciple will remember it!"

As the system's reward prompt sounded, Su Yan felt content and followed the Persuasion System's advice.

Subsequently, Zhu Rou Rong also stated that he needed to continue working on the artificial incubator and left.

Only Lin Fan and Fan Jian Gang were left, the former with wide eyes and the latter with narrowed ones.

"I feel like this junior brother is a bit off." Fan Jian Gang muttered, "Especially when you mentioned 'crisis', his expression changed drastically, and he almost jumped up."

"There's definitely something wrong!"

"I agree."

Lin Fan nodded slightly.

Indeed, he had noticed this problem too.

At the same time, he was secretly surprised.

Could it be that this junior's cheat was so powerful that he could see through his 'background'? Or was his intense reaction due to something else?

Of course, there were other possibilities as well.

But...

It was truly hard to guess.

"Do you have any ideas?"

Lin Fan's fingers rhythmically tapped the tabletop as he asked Fan Jian Gang.

It wasn't that he didn't consider Zhu Rou Rong and the others as his own.

But Zhu Rou Rong hadn't read novels and wasn't familiar with these tropes.

Su Yan also seemed to be from a different world, perhaps a parallel universe with some shared cultural similarities?

However, regardless, discussing this with them wouldn't be appropriate.

Only Fan Jian Gang, with whom he could discuss this matter.

"This... I really don't have any ideas."

Fan Jian Gang scratched his head. "There are too many protagonist templates."

"And out of ten protagonist templates, only two are indigenous, which is already a good ratio."

"We know too little about the junior brother, and he hasn't revealed much either, so it's hard to guess."

"But judging from the fact that he could bring out the Eight-Nine Profound Art at the second realm..."

"His cheat is definitely powerful!"

"It might even be some kind of system cheat."

"Only a system would be this overpowered."

"Of course, it could also be sheer luck, like stumbling upon a 'Divine Demon Cemetery' and looting a few immortal tombs."

Lin Fan hesitated slightly and said, "I believe it's more likely to be a system cheat. But I'm not sure what kind of system it is."

(Chapter End)

"Regarding his template..."

A flash of inspiration suddenly struck Lin Fan.

"Don't say that, I suddenly have an idea."

"Huh?" Fan Jian Gang was surprised, "You figured it out?"

"Not sure, but I have some clues," Lin Fan pondered. "Just now, you also mentioned that he reacted very strongly when he heard the word 'crise,' right?"

"Yeah, that's true."

"At first, I was puzzled, but now I suddenly think that his strong reaction to 'crisis' is likely because he encountered many crises after he came over."

"Or many crises!"

"Just now, you saw that despite having a cheat, he was quite miserable and haggard, even with a broken leg, and he needed to heal."

"This is enough to prove that he had a tough time."

"Agreed!" Fan Jian Gang nodded. "Whether it's digging up a god or devil's grave or having a cheat, he shouldn't have such a miserable life."

"But..."

"Aren't transmigrators all sons of fate? How could he have such a tough start, even encountering multiple crises? That's quite rare."

"It is rare," Lin Fan smiled. "But precisely because it's rare, it gives me a direction."

"As you said, transmigrators are generally sons of fate, Even if they're the main characters with a cheat,0. But,0. So, But, they a cheat with cheat,, main character."

"So, under what circumstances would a transmigrator with a cheat still have such a miserable time and encounter various crises right from the start?"

Fan Jian Gang scratched his head.

"Wait, how do we confirm that he's in the early stages of transm?"

Lin Fan: "... Transmigrators with great cheats and decent talents, though not spirit bodies, have superior talents, and yet, he's only at the Second Realm."

"Even just Fourth Level of the Second Realm."

"What else could it be if not the early stages of transmigration?"

"Reasonable! Master's observations are meticulous and logical." Fan Jian Gang suddenly realized and started flattering.

"Less flattery!" Lin Fan laughed and scolded. " "But, I didn't see all the novels, not every novel, but in my knowledge, the one that best fits his situation is... 'Death Chat Group.'"

"Death Chat Group?" Fan Jian Gang was puzzled. "I haven't read it."

"Not the title!" Lin Fan explained. "But a type. Simply put, it's a large-scale group transmigration where their origins and destinations are different. It could be ten thousand different worlds, each transmigrating to another ten thousand different worlds."

"Then, they all join a a chat group."

"The group names are varied, but share a common point: the early stages are hated by heaven and the the, an extremely high mortality rate.."

"Almost ninety-nine point cent."

"And in these novels, there's generally a 'newbie gift pack' setting where. trans. fate. fate. what the fate, destiny. fate. gift."

What they get is completely random."

"It could be a smelly sock, a tattered panty, or weapons, pills, magical treasures, and even systems."

"But no matter what they get, it's still 'Death Always Lingers,' until they pass the newbie stage, things gradually gradually return to normal."

"!!!"

Fan Jian Gang was stunned. " "There are such types of novels?"

"That I haven't read."

"Only can say..."

"Such transmigrators are truly pitiful."

"These novels are relatively niche. I've only read one or two and didn't finish them." Lin Fan sighed.. "But essentially, they're still 'comfort novels.'"

"Just wrapped in 'Death Always Lingers' skin."

"But it does add a bit of novelty."

"Uh~"

"I can imagine it." Fan Jian Gang muttered. "But I'm curious about the dangers they face. What kind of dangers do they encounter?"

"Anything is possible. Choking to death from drinking water, choking to death from eating, dying from stray bullets, crushed by landslides while sleeping, killed by street performers, or even misidentified as criminals and executed."

"

Lin Fan explained simply.

F

Lin Fan was stunned, then Reactized, " Change. " "F "

"If the newbie period is over, that's Great. Otherwise, everything's fine."

"But if it's not over Yet?"

"He would receive the sect's protection, and now'ts Second Cult the Second Realm Fourth Level, and he's already at Second Four."

"

"But, Also."

"So."

But the lands' mountain is the 'Death Chat Group,' Lin Fan continued.

"But the Crisis Is Over."

"

"

"If so, it could be the same."

"Isn't this just adding a newbie gift pack?"

"Or it could Be something similar to what Fan Jian Gang described, just a small gift PACK."

"Like A smelly sock, a tattered_p anty, or even a broken system?"

"Regardless, the dangers are still. period, and the death of death Chat Group encounters are high."

Fan Jian Gang was flabbergast.

"Wait, has This Crisis?"

"Is His newbie period over?"

Lin Fan was stunned, then realized the implications, and his expression Changed.

. "F "

"If the newbie period is over, then everything is fine."

"But if it's not over yet?"

"He would receive the sect's protection, and he's already a Second Realm cultivator, he shouldn't choke on food or fall while walking, right?"

"Mountain lands have formations to protect them, so landslides are very stable."

"Then, the crises are From lands would crises Chat Group, and he's Superior Talents, and a newbie gift pack, so he shouldn't choke anything the 'Death Chat Group,' Lin Fan explained.

"Then, the crisis could only come from outside?"

"

"Who wouldn't be worried about this?"

"Anyway, I am a bit scared."

."

Lin Fan was flabbergst.
