Chapter 221: The Eleventh Disciple - Shi Hao! Promotion to a Second-Class Sect? (Part 2)
"
"Divining my future movements, like which direction would be auspicious and which would be extremely auspicious."
"Every day for three consecutive months."
"And each time, the divination result was the same."
"The Hongwu Immortal City Alchemy Grand Assembly."
"I also divined about the assembly."
"The divination result was that I should be low-key yet high-profile."
Lin Fan: "..."
"Low-key yet high-profile?"
Recalling this guy's actions at the assembly, Lin Fan nodded, "You did pretty well there!"
Indeed, he had managed to be high-profile while remaining low-key.
Unbelievable!
"Then, I divined another extremely auspicious result."
"That was the second time I divined an extremely auspicious result, and it told me to set up a fortune-telling stall outside the city, and then I met you, Master, and the Second Elder."
"I don't know the specifics, though."
"Anyway, everything was guided by the divination results."
"Even after confirming that you were also a transmigrator, I was scared! I couldn't eat or sleep, but since I was already here, and everything was guided by the divination results, or perhaps by the will of the heavens..."
Gou Sheng spread his hands again.
"If you really want to ask me the reason, I can't explain it clearly either."
"But after learning about the sect's rules later, I suddenly understood. As long as I play my cards right, as the protagonist of a sect, under the protagonist's halo, even if there are many dangers, my rise will be unstoppable!"
"Who can be our match?"
"But today, hearing about the Young Emperor of the Wasteland's template, I'm truly worried! Master, you have to think of something, Master."
"That's enough! What can we do? We'll face the challenges as they come! And you, are you still going to keep hiding?"
Lin Fan sighed.
He had thought there would be more concrete news.
For example, the Moon Embrace Sect would eventually become invincible, conquering the Immortal World and even higher-level worlds, defeating the mysterious plateau, killing the Ten Great Ancestors, and so on...
If that were the case, he could have some peace of mind.
But the result was not as expected, and he wanted some psychological comfort?
No way.
Even he himself couldn't...
Asking before was difficult, and asking after... could only make it slightly better.
"Alright, you can go back now."
Fan Jian Gang sighed repeatedly, "Then I'll go back to hiding."
Fan Jian Gang left.
Lin Fan still rolled his eyes.
Taking in Xiao Shitou as a disciple was a good thing, but at the same time, it also served as a wake-up call for him.
"Sigh."
"Speaking of which, after the explosion in the Sun Moon Immortal Dynasty, I thought the Moon Embrace Sect was already powerful enough, and we wouldn't need to be as cautious as before."
"But now it seems, bullshit."
"Not only do we need to be as cautious as ever, but we might even have to be more so."
"Ridiculous!"
He couldn't help but complain.
Then he got up to look for Xiao Shitou.
When Xiao Shitou first entered the Moon Embrace Sect, everything seemed new and exciting to him, but he didn't forget about cultivation!
The path he took was different from that of his fellow disciples, as it belonged to an entirely new system, so Xiao Ling'er and the others couldn't guide him.
However, he wasn't in a hurry to break through.
Although he had already reached the 'ultimate' state of his current condition, making further progress was difficult, he continued to cultivate using his own methods.
Shouldering a giant stone weighing over ten thousand kilograms, he moved with ease, as if the ground beneath him was flat!
From a distance, one could hardly see him, only the giant stone 'leaping' or even 'dancing'.
"Xiao Shitou, come here."
Lin Fan called out.
Xiao Budiandian immediately put down the giant stone and rushed over, "Master!"
He waved his arms, making a loud rumbling sound, and said, "Look, I've become stronger!"
"The pills given by your senior sister are so powerful. I took some, and without doing anything, my strength increased."
"Your senior sister's pills are indeed powerful."
Lin Fan smiled and nodded, "I came here to ask if you've gotten used to things, and also to see if you have any questions about cultivation. Feel free to ask me anything."
"After that, I'll arrange some special training for you."
"And soon, I'll be leaving the Moon Embrace Sect for a while, so think carefully about anything you want to ask or say."
"Otherwise, we'll only be able to communicate through the Teleportation Array, and not face-to-face."
"Not being able to communicate face-to-face makes it a bit inconvenient to guide your cultivation."
"Is that so?"
Xiao Shitou nodded, and then he seemed a bit hesitant.
"If I were to ask questions, I do have a few..."
"But go ahead."
Lin Fan waved his hand confidently.
He wasn't the Young Emperor of the Wasteland, so if he were asked how to 'defy the heavens', he might not know the answer.
Following the Young Emperor's cultivation path might not work for him either.
But he had read 'Perfect' more than once and had N times of experience guiding protagonists.
Guiding Xiao Shitou, who was currently in the Blood Transport Realm, shouldn't be a problem, right?
Absolutely not!
But...
Xiao Shitou's question was completely unexpected.
"Um, Master."
He scratched his ears and cheeks, seeming both impatient and more hesitant.
After a while, he finally said, "Where can I find the beast milk in our Moon Embrace Sect?"
"And also, what's good to eat..."
Lin Fan: "(⊙o⊙)..."
"Huh!"
"Damn it!"
Lin Fan sighed, "I told you to ask about cultivation doubts, not this!"
Xiao Shitou quickly tucked his neck in, "Then, Master, can you also tell me how to cultivate and break through the extreme realm?"
"Can you call that 'by the way'?"
Lin Fan's face was filled with black lines.
But after a moment's thought, he realized it made sense.
After all, Little Stone was still too young.
In the original story, he was at an age where he would run around with his bare buttocks, bully small ferocious beasts, raid bird nests, and drink beast milk. How could anyone expect too much from him?
"Breaking through the ultimate realm naturally requires doing what others cannot!"
"Whether it's cultivation, battle, willpower, or luck, it will all be like this."
"If you don't know how to break through the ultimate realm, just follow my instructions. It might not guarantee your breakthrough, but it will definitely give you a clear understanding of yourself and the path you need to take."
Then, Lin Fan revealed his plan.
First, Little Stone needed to cultivate diligently within the sect for at least a month.
He needed to truly reach the pinnacle of the Blood Transport Realm, a stage where there was no further progress to be made, neither through his own efforts nor external means.
After that, he would spar with disciples from the first, second, and even the third realm.
Then, he would venture into secret realms for further cultivation and hardship.
After that...
It was time to leave the sect and explore the world.
The path of the Young Emperor of the Wasteland was different from anyone else's.
Even the ruthless female emperor had to endure more hardship and suffering.
It was destined to be filled with thorns, and staying secluded within the sect would never lead to the pinnacle.
Therefore, even though Little Stone was only at the first realm (Blood Transport), Lin Fan would not hesitate when it was time for him to venture out and face challenges.
He must not, and would not, spoil him to the point of harm.
"Yes, Master."
After hearing Lin Fan's plan, Little Stone didn't see any issues.
After all, he was still too young and lacked a clear understanding of many things and dangers.
"Don't agree so easily."
"The goal I've set for you is to..."
"Within five years, defeat the Double Pupil!"
"Double Pupil?"
Little Stone was filled with confusion.
He was unfamiliar with this term, but it evoked a strange sense of familiarity.
There was even a blurry image of a child's face that kept appearing and disappearing in his mind.
That child...
Had two pupils in his eyes.
His expression changed slightly.
When his bones were extracted, Little Stone was already old enough to remember things. However, after the extraction and the loss of his essence blood, he had regressed to an infant-like state, despite surviving by chance.
As a result, his memories from that time had almost completely faded away.
Only these vague images remained, leaving him puzzled.
"Master."
Little Stone didn't know what these images meant, but he instinctively replied, "Disciple will make it happen."
"Hmm!"
Lin Fan nodded and turned to leave.
Throughout this, he maintained a stern expression, making Little Stone scratch his head in embarrassment.
Suddenly, Lin Fan turned around, his face now filled with a smile, and tossed him a storage bag, "All kinds of invincible techniques are inside, and there's also the beast milk you like."
"After you finish drinking it, go find Zhu Shixiong."
"As for delicious food, you can cause trouble in the Spirit Beast Garden with any beast you like."
"I'm off."
With that, Lin Fan waved his hand and strode away, leaving Little Stone with gleaming eyes.
Little Stone opened the storage bag, guzzled down a can of beast milk, and then gazed at the Spirit Beast Garden from a distance.
"Master said I can cause trouble, but Zhu Shixiong probably won't agree."
"Maybe I should act first and report later?"
Little Stone was mischievous, and with his personal disciple token, he could go anywhere within the sect.
The various formations in the Spirit Beast Garden wouldn't stop him either, so he entered without alerting anyone.
Then...
He was stunned.
"What's that?"
"A true dragon?!"
Watching Ao Bing practicing the True Dragon Fist, he couldn't help but drool, "It must taste amazing!"
"But..."
"I can't beat him, I can't beat him."
He could cause trouble with any beast, but this true dragon was clearly out of his league.
Little Stone shifted his target.
Soon, he spotted a colorful, proud-looking rooster.
"Eight Treasures Chicken!"
"Village Chief Grandpa said that the taste of Eight Treasures Chicken is no less than dragon meat, and might even surpass it!"
Excited, Little Stone prepared to catch the chicken.
But the Eight Treasures Chicken was extremely alert, and its speed was so fast that even seventh or eighth realm experts might not be able to catch it.
How could Little Stone, in his current state, hope to catch even a single feather?
He felt he had done his best.
Whether it was stealth or sudden bursts of speed, he couldn't even catch a single feather.
"Damn it!"
Little Stone gritted his teeth, "I'll catch you next time!"
He decided to try again...
"This little junior disciple is quite interesting."
Zhu Rourong, who was studying with the Fire Kirin on how to hatch eggs, couldn't help but smile.
"He's interesting, but I'm not!"
The Fire Kirin almost cursed.
It wanted to point at Zhu Rourong's nose and scold, "My 'temperature' is indeed high, but I'm a male, a male with a little hook!"
"You want me to hatch eggs every day?!"
"Cough, we're all working for the sect's benefit!"
Zhu Rourong shook his head and began to coax, "Kirin brother, don't you want our Moon Embrace Sect to one day be suddenly destroyed by humans?"
"Hatching more Eight Treasures Chickens and Eight Treasures Ducks will further enhance the Moon Embrace Sect's strength!"
"After we become stronger, our sect will be safer!"
"Don't forget, you're a Pure Blood Kirin!"
"If you leave the Moon Embrace Sect, and some 'bad people' find you, tsk~"
"You don't want them to draw your blood and cut your meat every day, do you?
"..."
"Stop talking, you!"
"I'm going to hatch!"
"What's wrong with me hatching?"
"It's fine, why not?" Zhu Rourong chuckled.
But his Divine Sense continued to focus on Xiao Shi Tou.
Xiao Shi Tou seemed to be moving freely without any obstacles, but in reality, how was that possible?
At least, Zhu Rourong was observing very carefully.
After all, this was his home turf. If he couldn't even keep an eye on his own territory, how could he have the face to follow the sect?
Before this, Lin Fan had also chatted with him~ Interest is the best teacher!
Xiao Shi Tou was a total foodie, so it was entirely possible to take advantage of this.
Let him wreak havoc as he pleased! As long as he could manage it.
Want to eat Eight Treasures Chicken?
Sure, as long as you can catch it~!
However, but not the Holy Land.
With Xiao Shi Tou's current abilities, he had absolutely no chance.
If he couldn't catch it but still wanted to eat it, what should he do?
He had to work hard~ This was also a form of cultivation, and he would give it his all without any supervision.
If he could really catch it on his own, letting him eat two wouldn't be a problem~
...
"Master."
At the Scripture Repository.
Xiao Ling'er was just teaching her disciples how to refine pills.
Lin Fan's sudden visit made her face turn serious, and she quickly stood up to pay her respects, guessing his intentions.
"No need for such formality."
"The matter I mentioned last time is almost ready."
Lin Fan smiled and said, "If you've made the arrangements, shall we set off tomorrow?"
"I've already made all the necessary arrangements."
Xiao Ling'er was overjoyed.
For the past two months, she had been preparing.
She had also refined a significant number of pills to supplement Divine Souls, and had already revived Medicine Elder.
Although she was still very weak and could barely move, it at least put Xiao Ling'er's mind at ease.
Only then could she focus on preparing for Medicine Elder's resurrection.
"That's good, we'll set off early tomorrow morning."
"Yes!"
Xiao Ling'er quickly responded and then said, "Thank you, Master."
"Silly girl."
"We're family, why are you talking like we're strangers?"
Lin Fan patted her head and left with a swagger.
Xiao Ling'er giggled foolishly.
But as he left, Lin Fan was feeling a bit uneasy.
"I didn't notice it before."
"This girl, she used to be a whole head shorter than me."
"Now, she's probably only a few inches shorter than me, right?"
"She's grown so tall and graceful."
"I wonder who will be the lucky guy in the future."
"Wait, that's not the point."
Lin Fan suddenly remembered something else.
The original Flame Emperor, Xiao Huohuo, had a harem.
Not to mention three thousand beauties, but he did have several.
In the end, he only had two wives, but his close female friends were a whole bunch.
But...
In the Immortal Martial Continent, the Flame Emperor, Xiao Ling'er, is a woman!
She...
Damn, she wouldn't have a harem, would she?
If she did, it would be...
Fucking mind-blowing! I can't even look!
At this thought, Lin Fan's mouth twitched uncontrollably.
Although it's common in modern times for a girl to have multiple boyfriends and relationships, it's still mind-blowing when it happens to your own disciple.
Especially with a harem, having 'two husbands' is just too much!
"Damn."
Lin Fan wiped his mouth, "I never thought about this problem before."
"Shit!"
At this moment, he felt conflicted.
"Forget it, they're all protagonist templates with their own 'paths'. Why should I worry about them?"
"Instead of worrying, I should think about meeting the 'Great Compassion Gatlin Bodhisattva' in the Western Region."
Lin Fan indeed had connections in the Western Region.
Moreover, the person was a Mahayana Buddhist with an extremely high status!
But this connection...
He wasn't sure if it would be useful.
After all, the only link was that they were both transmigrators.
And he knew the other was a super big shot from the previous era.
Other than that, he knew nothing.
He didn't know their real name, personality, or whether they were good or bad.
"However, they shouldn't be a 'villain', right? Otherwise, knowing that I'm a transmigrator, they would've come to kill me already."
"Of course, this is just a guess, not a certainty."
"I should still be a bit more cautious."
"..."
...
The next day, at dawn.
Lin Fan had planned to leave at sunrise.
But...
He couldn't.
Little Dragon Nu came looking for him early in the morning.
"You said..."
Lin Fan stared at Little Dragon Nu, blinking in confusion, "You mean Ten Thousand Flowers Holy Land..."
"Yes."
"What for?"
"To assess and promote Moon Embrace Sect."
"Moon Embrace Sect's current strength is obvious, and the conditions for promotion to a second-class sect have long been met."
"As for the Spirit Mountain, territory, and disciple numbers, we did fall short before, but now with Fire Virtue Sect merged, you've already surpassed us. If not for the lack of Ninth Stage cultivators, you'd already meet the conditions for direct promotion to a first-class sect."
"Yet, you've never sent anyone to apply for assessment and promotion..."
"I don't know if you forgot, or what..."
She complained, "Where's the Sect Master who doesn't even do this?"
"Luckily, I have a good relationship with you!"
She patted his shoulder, "Rest assured."
"Even if you don't apply, Ten Thousand Flowers Holy Land will send people to assess you."
"Don't worry, it's just a formality."
Little Dragon Nu stared at Lin Fan, her smile radiant, "Promoting to a second-class sect is absolutely no problem."
Lin Fan: "O_O ?!?!?"
Damn!
...
The next morning.
Lin Fan had planned to leave at dawn.
But...
He couldn't.
Little Dragon Nu came looking for him early in the morning.
"You said..."
Lin Fan stared at Little Dragon Nu, blinking in confusion, "You mean Ten Thousand Flowers Holy Land..."
"Yes."
"What for?"
"To assess and promote Moon Embrace Sect."
"Moon Embrace Sect's current strength is obvious, and the conditions for promotion to a second-class sect have long been met."

"Luckily, I have a good relationship with you!"
She patted his shoulder, "Rest assured."
"Even if you don't apply, Ten Thousand Flowers Holy Land will send people to assess you."
"Don't worry, it's just a formality."
Little Dragon Nu stared at Lin Fan, her smile radiant, "Promoting to a second-class sect is absolutely no problem."
Lin Fan: "O_O ?!?!?"
Damn!
