Chapter 177: Ninth Disciple, Secret Realm Template! The Martial World of Fengyun! (Part 1)
"Master, there’s a matter."
Great Elder Su Xinghai hurried over, "This year, the thirteen sects bordering our Moon Embrace Sect have They haven’t opened their mountain gates to recruit new disciples."
"This has directly led to an increase in the number of people coming to our Moon Em brace Sect for mountain worship, far exceeding our initial expectations."
"Moreover..."
"Many who originally intended to join these thirteen sects are now trying their luck with our Moon Embrace Sect, but they are just ordinary people without cultivation, so they can't make it here."
"Master, what do you think?"
"Is This"
Lin Fan smiled, "As the saying goes, the heavens have a benevolent nature."
He nodded his head, "The Great Dao is fifty, but forty-nine are derived, leaving one thread of life. This leads to the suffering of all beings."
"Since they have this intention and are conveniently near our doorstep, it is our duty to seize this thread of life. Whether they can grasp it or not depends on their individual fate."
"Announce a sect-wide task, open to all disciples of the second stage and above."
"Go to the areas near the thirteen sects and bring back all those who wish to pay mountain worship to our"
"Decide among yourselves the number of points awarded for each person brought back."
He stretched lazily, "Aside from Qiu Yongqin and others, the longest time a disciple has been in the sect for over five years. However, almost none have left the mountain or the sect."
"Today’s matter isn’t far away, nor is it particularly dangerous."
"Let them go down the mountain and see the world, it'll be good for them."
"Understood, Master."
Su Xinghai nodded in realization. He had initially thought that he and the other four elders would go to bring the people back themselves. But upon hearing Lin Fan’s words, he found it more fitting.
Now...
the Moon embrace Sect has a bit of prestige.
If they had to personally lead the new disciples, it would indeed be a bit too much for the five elders.
Besides, it’s also a chance to train the disciples.
Although the training effect might not be great...
... the great elder left to fulfill the task.
Lin Fan played with a bottle of explosive, somewhat helplessly, "Everything is fine with the Moon Embrace Sect except for one thing: the disciples lack training. Although we have internal competition and sect-wide competitions, they are just superficial."
"Those fierce beasts, spiritual beasts, are too dull, and the training effect is minimal."
"There’s no other way. I can only seize every opportunity and possibility to let them get as much training as possible."
Fierce beasts, demonic beasts, aren’t all dull.
But...
what can you expect from second and third stage disciples?
Even if there are a few smart ones, they are a rarity.
"But there’s no other way. Venturing down the mountain is too dangerous, with countless enemies watching us from the outside. The Bright Moon Sect has been continuously targeting us in secret."
"Only because our disciples haven’t left the mountain and gone far, otherwise, we would probably hear bad news every day."
"Secret realm..."
"Still need to find a way to get some secret realms."
Training-type secret realms can allow disciples to train, even in life-and-death crises, without worrying about being targeted by enemies...
"Undoubtedly, it’s the best solution."
But secret realms generally exist in the form of 'micro worlds,' which are rare and precious.
To get a suitable one...
... is even more difficult.
"However difficult, we must still find a way!"
... whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh
figures breaking through the air.
They stepped on flying swords, wearing the Moon Embrace Sect’s standardized robes, their spirits and vigor bursting, eyes shining brightly, all brimming with excitement, heading in all directions.
The flying swords, of course, come from the Fire virtue sect. They promised to refine a magic Treasure suitable for each disciple’s current stage, and they kept their word.
Moreover, the majority of the Moon Embrace Sect’s disciples chose to refine a ‘flying sword.’
Riding a sword, traveling from the north sea to the evening, is almost every small cultivator’s dream.
Besides...
being a sword cultivator is cool!
Even if not a sword cultivator, having a sword as a weapon is still a good idea, right?
Who doesn’t have a flying sword in the immortal world?
At the very least, it can be used for flying around.
It’s precisely because of these reasons, at this moment, from the outside, the Moon Embrace Sect appears to have a bit of prestige.
A large number of spirited, uniformly dressed young men and women are coming down the mountain, transforming the image of the Moon embrace sect in the eyes of others.
Meanwhile, a young man watched the 'sky full of sword cultivators' depart, a smile appearing on his face.
"Looks like they are quite capable."
"Indeed, there are no false reputationsIn this case, I can be a bit more at ease."
"Perhaps, the Moon embrace sect is the sect I was looking for."
"..."
"Damn!"
suddenly, he cursed, "I’m really fcked up!"
"Even with a cheat, I can’t figure it out, it’s really..."
"Ah!"
Immediately, he lowered his head and continued climbing the mountain, a glintense hope rose in his heart.
However, this body is truly too weak, already panting after just a few steps.
"Almost there, almost there."
He took a deep breath, "As long as the moon embrace sect is strong enough, I will soon become a Cultivator, and then, I and the sect will complement each other..."
"the future is promising!"
"the future is promising!"
he murmured, encouraging himself.
It seems like the body's fatigue instantly disappeared by a large portion, and he felt full of energy.
...
The Green Water pavilion and the other thirteen sects were all observing.
Although they haven’t officially opened their mountain gates to recruit new disciples, they were still closely monitoring the situation.
Soon, they saw the moon embrace sect’s disciples coming down the mountain and then leading the willing disciples to the moon embrace sect, they were all amazed.
aise 64-65 of the novel, which collectively expressed their amazement, "The Moon Em brace Sect..."
"Indeed is quite ambitious!"
"Those who originally intended to join the moon embrace sect, combined with the thirteen sects, the number must be no less than five hundred thousand. With the moon embrace sect’s foundation, can they handle the testing?"
(End of Chapter
"I've heard that the Moon Embrace Sect doesn't prioritize talent when accepting disciples, but rather, they focus on fate and destiny."
"Huh?"
"What? Cultivators not considering talent? That's absurd!"
"..."
"Three days."
The Great Elder, who was overseeing the disciple acceptance process, couldn't hide his excitement as he looked at the mountains filled with applicants. His voice trembled with emotion.
In the past, the Moon Embrace Sect had only a handful of disciples. Each year, only a few hundred people would come to pay their respects.
But now...
Gasp!
Heavens above, am I dreaming? He took a deep breath, trying to calm himself. "All of you, stay here in our sect for three days!"
"During these three days, our disciples will take care of your meals. Rest assured, just like before, you'll be served the finest demonic beast meat. Even if you don't end up joining our sect, eating this meat will strengthen your bodies and prolong your lives!"
"If you are accepted into our sect, we'll discuss other matters."
"In addition, you will each receive a 'test paper'..."
There were too many people to observe and question individually; it would be exhausting.
So, the Great Elder decided to follow the approach used by Su Xinghai.
A written test!
Those who couldn't read could find someone to help.
Those who could sing?
They were talents and must be introduced to the Sect Master!
By now, the Great Elder was thoroughly impressed by Li Fan.
He didn't understand the strict rules of disciple acceptance, nor did he know their basis, but time and again, the facts proved that the Sect Master was spot on.
Xiao Ling'er carried the sect's banner and led the way!
Although Su Xinghai had his quirks, he never made mistakes. Under his management, the Scriptum Pavilion was well-organized.
Wang Teng didn't fit the strict rules, but his talent couldn't be ignored!
As for Qin Yu, no need to mention her. Zhu Rou Rong was also exceptional, and the Spirit Beast Garden he established was fantastic. Those eight-treasure chickens, eight-treasure ducks, and red-haired wild boars—they all had great potential.
At this point, was there any need for doubt?
Pah!
Any doubt was an insult to the sect!
"I..."
"What the hell?!"
"Am I dreaming?"
"Did I come to the wrong place?"
"What a coincidence??"
"This..."
For a moment, he was lost in thought.
Why did he come here? He had experienced many days like this.
Over the past few years, he had been an ordinary person, with a golden finger, but unable to use it. He needed to find someone to cooperate with.
Who should he find?
He knew that in this kind of place, it was survival of the fittest. If he randomly chose someone, as an ordinary person, he would surely be taken advantage of. Moreover, he would be devoured, leaving not even bones behind.
So, he was very cautious and considered for a long time.
A major sect?
At first, he did want to go to a major sect, as their strength was formidable. But then, he thought, what if they didn't like him?
Moreover, a major sect was like a vast underworld, with internal conflicts that were sure to be severe. As an ordinary person, it would be difficult to outmaneuver them.
As for solitary cultivators, there was no need to consider them.
After much thought...
And after hearing some 'legends,' he decided on the Moon Embrace Sect.
Once a top-tier sect!
After its decline, it rose again.
In recent years, it had developed rapidly, precisely when it needed 'assistance.'
Moreover, its reputation was excellent.
Those who visited and weren't accepted still returned with enhanced strength, praising the Moon Embrace Sect.
Such a sect surely had no flaws, right?
So, he came.
But who would've thought that a single test paper would break his defenses, almost making him turn and leave.
"Are they trying to kill me?!"
But then, he thought, "Perhaps the Moon Embrace Sect's rise from near-extinction is due to the Golden Finger of its time-traveling cultivator?"
"If this is the case, perhaps the reason they want to hunt 'fellow villagers' is to find some assistance?"
"In that case..."
"Staying here is the best choice."
"But I can't be certain, as people's hearts are hard to read."
"Should I take this gamble?"
He hesitated.
To gamble or not?
He clenched his teeth.
"It's been years, and I've accomplished nothing. If I miss this chance, who knows how long I'll have to wait? Maybe I'll die on my way back."
"I'll gamble!"
He bit the bullet.
(To be continued)
"Moreover, with my golden finger, how can I not gamble?"
"Since we're gambling anyway, might as well go big!"
"..."
"Elder Su!"
He resolutely raised his hand, "I can do all the questions on this paper!"
"Oh?"
Su Xinghai's eyes lit up, "You're serious?"
"Nonsense and gibberish, or the consequences could be dire!"
"Elder Su, I would never joke about my life. Please tell me, what should I do next?"
"Good!"
Su Xinghai rejoiced, "Follow me!"
He immediately brought the youth to meet Lin Fan.
Sensing Su Xinghai's arrival, Lin Fan couldn't help but feel eager.
Since the Great Elder himself brought someone to see him, it meant...
This youth must be the one who meets the criteria for taking disciples?
"Sect Master!"
Su Xinghai bowed and said, "This youth..."
"Oh, what's your name again?"
Youth: "..."
"Song Yunxiao."
He took a deep breath and raised the examination paper, "Sect Master, I can answer all the questions on this paper."
"Oh?"
Lin Fan's eyes sparkled, "Great Elder, you go ahead and manage the situation."
"Yes."
The Great Elder strode away.
Lin Fan smiled, "The word 'paper' speaks volumes."
"Fellow townsman."
"Fellow townsman." Song Yunxiao was stunned, and mist formed in his eyes.
Indeed, it was a reunion of fellow townsmen, and their eyes welled up with tears.
These past few years, he had endured true hardship!
Now, meeting a fellow townsman, he wasn't sure if he'd be taken advantage of, and he felt anxious.
"Speak freely."
"Sing a song for me to listen to?"
Lin Fan pointed to those few songs.
Song Yunxiao didn't hesitate and sang 'Wumeng Mountain Connecting to Mountains Beyond'. Although he was a bit off-key, it proved his identity without a doubt.
Lin Fan stepped forward and patted his shoulder, "Don't cry, a man's tears are not shed lightly."
"It seems like you've had a tough time outside."
"Tough? It's been truly tough!!!"
Song Yunxiao's nose turned sour, and he almost cried out, "I couldn't even eat my fill, and I've been beaten several times. I thought that with a modern person's knowledge, I could live a prosperous life..."
"But I found I couldn't do anything, I'm just useless."
"Soap? I can't even make that!"
"Cement? I can't even manage that."
"Even gunpowder, I don't understand, and I almost blew myself up."
"After finally figuring it out, I realized this is an Immortal Martial World!!!"
Lin Fan: "..."
"Forgive my bluntness, but do you have a golden finger?"
"Yes."
Having decided to take a big gamble, Song Yunxiao didn't hide it anymore, "When I found out this is an Immortal Martial World, the golden finger appeared."
"It's called the Ultimate Mystic Realm System."
"Mystic Realm, System, and Ultimate?" Lin Fan was almost stunned.
Damn, what a coincidence!
When I'm sleepy, someone sends a pillow?
"Can you explain in detail?"
But immediately, Lin Fan made a vow, "I, Lin Fan, vow with my Daoist heart, that under no circumstances where you don't wish it, I will tell a third person about your golden finger, and no matter how your golden finger is, as long as you don't betray me or the Moon Embrace Sect, I will not harm you."
"If you break this vow, you will instantly die."
"Why go to such lengths?"
Song Yunxiao said 'why go to such lengths', but inside, he instantly felt relieved.
Seems like... the gamble paid off!
"Hmm."
"I feel this golden finger isn't bad, but the start is too tough!"
Song Yunxiao smiled bitterly, "Simply put, I can exchange various things from the system and place the Mystic Realms in certain locations."
"Then, I can venture into the Mystic Realms."
"Resources obtained in the Mystic Realms can be brought out."
"After completing a Mystic Realm, I can also gain various rewards."
"If my score is high enough, and I have enough points, I can purchase new Mystic Realms in the system's mall."
"Oh?!"
Lin Fan understood.
This type of novel, he had seen before.
It's a 'Mystic Realm' type.
Usually, the protagonist chooses to cooperate with the country to develop Mystic Realms, and then step by step, they become Martial Artists, Cultivators, and so on.
All sorts of Mystic Realm copies are filled with wonders and surprises.
What Technology World, Apocalypse World, Zombie World, Wuxia, High Martial World, Immortal Martial World...
But the more powerful the world, the more 'expensive'.
And due to 'point' restrictions, one must progress step by step.
"But here's the problem."
"There's a beginner's gift, and I opened a Mystic Realm."
Song Yunxiao winced, "I can't handle it myself, and if I find someone to cooperate with, I'm afraid of being taken advantage of."
"I finally found an organization, I really want to cry!"
He paused, then slapped his thigh and fell to the ground, holding onto Lin Fan tightly, not relaxing.
"Big shot, please take me as your disciple, help me, and fly with me!"
"I'm willing to confide in you, willing to give everything."
"As long as you don't let me down, I'll do anything."
"As long as the big shot can bring me..."
"I swear, I'm willing to swear, I won't betray you, big shot, I won't betray the sect."
"No rush, no rush."
Lin Fan's eyes burned with intensity.
What luck is this?
I've been worrying about the Moon Embrace Sect not having any Mystic Realms, and now, a Mystic Realm protagonist comes knocking? Goodness, I haven't even burned incense or prayed to the Buddha recently.
Wait, burning incense and praying to the Buddha, where's the luck in that? Anyway, amazing!
He patted Song Yunxiao's shoulder, "Take it slow, I understand your situation now."
"We're fellow townsmen, and when we're out in the world, we should naturally help each other."
"In my world, there are actually more than just you from the same region."
"Moreover, I hate it when people from the same place bully each other. Here, as fellow townsfolk, we should support and lift each other up."
"More than one?"
Song Yunxiao was surprised.
"Of course, I'll introduce you to them later."
Lin Fan smiled slightly and helped him up, "Moreover, our Moon Embrace Sect needs talented people like you!"
"How about this, to solidify our relationship, you can become my ninth direct disciple. Then, we can start exploring the secret realm and help you soar!"
"Furthermore, even if our sect's strength is currently insufficient, and we can't help you complete your first secret realm, we can't help you complete your first secret realm, we can still guide your normal cultivation. At the very least, becoming a cultivator shouldn't be a problem."
"Then... that's naturally wonderful.
