Chapter 463: The Sword Sovereign's Past, Lin Fan Attempts to Elevate His Sect (Part 1)

October 29, 2024

Should I go back?

Logic tells him that he probably should.

But his body is being honest.

The word 'back' is hard to say!

After all, the treatment at the Moon Embrace Sect is so good, not to mention the monthly Eight Treasures Chicken and Eight Treasures Duck... it's hard to leave such a place.

Not to mention the various elixirs...

Even if you add in the future prospects of the Moon Embrace Sect, this, this, this~

"This..."

Chen An hesitates again.

But he still can't give an answer.

Huang Tian Jianzun sees this and understands, but he doesn't get angry. Instead, he smiles, pats Chen An's shoulder, and says, "Don't rush, and don't blame yourself."

"If you had given a firm answer to go back, I wouldn't have liked it."

"Actually, from the day you stopped taking the Sword Palace's monthly allowance, I suspected something had happened."

With these words, Chen An feels even more embarrassed.

But he's also curious about what Huang Tian Jianzun wants to say and what he means.

Huang Tian Jianzun sighs and says, "I don't know what magic the Moon Embrace Sect has, or perhaps it's Lin Fan's outstanding personal charm, emmm... Male Charm Devil?"

"Haha, just a joke."

"But no matter what, it's good that you're staying."

"Joining the Moon Embrace Sect, I have no objections, and the other high-level members of the Sword Palace feel the same."

"But..."

"I just hope that, considering we were once fellow disciples, once fought side by side, and once were like brothers, you'll take good care of the Sword Palace and put in a good word for me in front of Lin Fan."

"That way, our past connection won't be in vain."

"In the future, we'll still be like brothers."

At this point, Huang Tian Jianzun sighs softly and pats Chen An's shoulder again.

"What do you think?"

Chen An's heart warms, and as a grown man, he feels his eyes welling up with tears.

He understands Huang Tian Jianzun's meaning.

Ultimately, it's because Lin Fan is too strong, and the potential of the Moon Embrace Sect is terrifying! Its future prosperity is foreseeable, and it's even possible that in the future, the Immortal Martial Continent will be under the control of the Moon Embrace Sect.

In such a situation, even Huang Tian Jianzun, and even a sacred land as powerful as the Vast Wilderness Sword Palace, must be cautious and plan for their future.

Chen An also believes that Huang Tian Jianzun and the high-level members of the Sword Palace want him to stay at the Moon Embrace Sect, or even join it.

This is their way of ensuring the safety of the Vast Wilderness Sword Palace by having Chen An, a former member, vouch for them due to their past connection.

Chen An can't refuse this request.

But from ancient times to the present, the Vast Wilderness Sword Palace, a sacred land, has never been in such a humiliating situation!

And Chen An...

Sigh, this is another kind of dilemma.

It's like a mutual understanding between both parties, a perfect match.

This reduces Chen An's guilt and allows him to continue helping the Vast Wilderness Sword Palace.

"Sword Venerable."

Chen An's eyes are red, "I will do my best!"

At this moment...

Chen An suddenly feels the weight of his responsibility.

It's the kind of weight that could crush a person!

He also feels like a wealthy man whose family has fallen on hard times, needing to protect his family.

"Sword Venerable, rest assured."

"I will..."

"I'm naturally at ease." Huang Tian Jianzun smiles slightly, not putting too much pressure on Chen An. He says, "But being alone in the Moon Embrace Sect, you should also take care of yourself."

"I look forward to the day we can drink together."

"But..."

"I feel like I can't hold it in much longer, and I might need to ascend within a year or two."

"In the future, I'll be counting on you all."

"Sword Venerable!!!"

"..."

Most people have their own 'white moonlight' in their hearts.

But this white moonlight isn't necessarily about love or romance.

For Chen An, his white moonlight...

Is Huang Tian Jianzun.

In the past, Huang Tian Jianzun had repeatedly stood up for Chen An, bringing him back despite opposition, and this bond is unforgettable.

"Then, after you ascend, I'll find you for a drink, and we won't part until we're drunk."

"Okay."

"..."

Huang Tian Jianzun bursts into laughter and rides his sword away.

...

On Lin Fan's side, Ji Chitong has also left.

Lin Fan wants her to stay, but she's determined to go.

She's set on repaying her debt of gratitude, and every time she visits, she leaves behind valuable items.

This time is no exception.

She leaves behind all her gains from the past five years, except for the items she needs for herself.

Lin Fan smiles as he touches the two storage bags, still warm from her touch, "This silly girl."

Putting aside his emotions, Lin Fan begins to handle important matters.

With the merging of the Spirit Sword Sect, Great Harmony Palace, and Five Elements School into the Moon Embrace Sect, there are many things to manage, such as planning a new layout...

The five elders and Xiao Ling'er have already proposed a preliminary plan, considering the Elixir Peak, Bright Moon Peak, Beast Control Peak, Spirit Sword Peak, Five Elements Harmony Peak, and even the Snake People...

Lin Fan finds the conditions and the plan satisfactory, but he doesn't immediately agree. Instead, he sets it aside for the time being.

He wants to elevate his entire sect.

If he can do that, he won't need to worry about the layout anymore.

Elevating the sect doesn't mean lifting the entire sect building but taking everyone up with him.

If he can't do that...

He can always make changes later.

"The most important thing now is to solve the future prospects of the Great Harmony Peak."

Lin Fan speaks earnestly to the various peak masters.

First, the previous business must be halted. As for the dual cultivation issue, they'll have to find their own Dao partners.

However, it might be a bit challenging for some."

Lin Fan sighed lightly, "We'll take it slow."

Why is it challenging?

Everyone understood.

Great Harmony Palace had both male and female disciples, but the vast majority would 'entertain guests.'

Except for those who had advanced in their cultivation, found their Dao partners, or came from wealthy families, most disciples had to entertain guests.

As for those who had entertained guests...

Emmm...

Now, they could be considered as having reformed.

But how many people would accept those who had reformed? Therefore, finding Dao partners would indeed be a challenge for them.

However, their cultivation method was based on dual cultivation. If they didn't do business or find Dao partners, it would hinder their cultivation progress.

This issue had to be resolved.

There was also the matter of earning money.

"Everyone can speak freely."

"This..."

Qian Yinyang raised his hand, "Actually, cultivation isn't a big problem. We have many disciples in the Great Harmony lineage, both male and female. There are also many who have found compatible partners among themselves. Even if they don't become Dao partners, they can still 'team up' for cultivation purposes, and it won't be too difficult. At least, most of them won't have any objections."

"Of course, it would be even better if someone from the other lineages takes a liking to a disciple from our Great Harmony lineage and they have mutual feelings."

Liang Danxia, Lu Ming, Qu Fei, Zhou Kai, Rao Zhiro, Queen Medusa, and others remained silent.

This...

It wasn't that they were overly critical, but...

As long as it didn't happen to them... Right?

Moreover, they were from the same sect; they had to give them some face.

"What do you mean...?"

Lin Fan pondered, "Is the immediate concern the income issue?"

"Yes, Sect Master."

Qian Yinyang spoke softly, "Dual cultivation is best supported by various external objects, such as medicinal ingredients, which aren't cheap. Usually, we can be self-sufficient and even have a small surplus."

"But if the income is cut off, we might face a famine within a year at most."

"This..."

"I do have an idea, at least to alleviate the immediate crisis."

"What is it? Let's discuss it privately."

Upon hearing this, Liang Danxia and the others naturally took their leave.

Qian Yinyang immediately sought guidance, "Please enlighten me, Sect Master."

Lin Fan pondered, "I was thinking... Can you write some educational books?"

Qian Yinyang blinked in confusion, "Educational books...!"

Lin Fan chuckled, "Of course, jade slips are fine too."

"It's all the same."

"But... What should we teach?" Qian Yinyang spread his hands, "We in the Great Harmony lineage don't know much, except for dual cultivation. Everything else is common knowledge. We can't teach people dual cultivation, can we?"

"Why not?"

Lin Fan was surprised, "You can entertain guests, but you can't write books? Can't teach people about sexual knowledge? Can't teach people dual cultivation?"

"Where is the logic in that?"

"I think it's perfectly fine!"

"Many people want to learn dual cultivation but have no access or knowledge about it."

"You can write down the details, add some restricted formations to prevent plagiarism, and make it self-destruct after reading once~!"

"It should include detailed records of various dual cultivation techniques, along with a couple of dual cultivation methods. The prices can be lower for ordinary techniques and higher for more advanced ones~!"

"You can even include 'techniques' in the package. Techniques can also be sold."

"With this business, who can compete with your Great Harmony lineage, except for the Harmony Bliss Sect?"

"But..."

Qian Yinyang pondered and felt there was some logic to it, but he still had doubts, "This... It's not that attractive, is it?"

"Why not?"

Lin Fan spread his hands, "Look at you, you don't understand human nature."

"You can add illustrations!"

"You can even embellish various scenarios!"

"What XXX and XXX's story that must be told."

"What..."

"Right?"

"You can even add some 'projections,' but not too revealing, as we are a proper sect!"

"!!!"

Qian Yinyang's gaze towards Lin Fan changed completely.

Damn, a fellow practitioner... No, you're the big shot here!

We're all your juniors!! With just those titles, even I, a veteran who has been through many battles, almost lost control and wanted to read the entire text. If it were those young fellows, how could they possibly resist?

"What the Sect Master said is absolutely right!"

"However, I have one doubt. If it's not revealing, how can it attract people?"

"Then... If we add projections, won't it lose its effect?"

"How can it have no effect?"

Lin Fan shook his head, "You!"

"Also, it doesn't have to be completely covered, can't it be suggestive?"

"Do you even know what suggestive means?!"

There was no other way.

After all, they were from the Great Harmony lineage. Asking them not to utilize their advantages and immediately going into a proper industry was a bit unrealistic.

So...

Let them tone it down and play it suggestive.

It's still much better than directly entertaining guests, right? Moreover, playing it suggestive can be very profitable.

Look at those video platforms' sisters, cough cough cough...

However, Qian Yinyang didn't understand, "This... May I ask what suggestive means?"

"Suggestive... It's like..."

"This... Er..."

How should Lin Fan explain it? He stroked his chin, "Do you know Long Ao Jiao?"

"I've met her a few times, but I don't know much about her."

"Then you should know how Long Ao Jiao dresses."

Qian Yinyang immediately became interested, "In my opinion, it's excellent!"

"If it weren't for the fact that it's not very suitable, I'd like to copy her style and have our Great Harmony disciples wear it and then... Cough cough."

"That's right!"

"Just like her style, but a bit more 'open,' and with seductive and sexy movements, that's suggestive."

"At the same time, your eyes must be hazy~!"

"Your lips should be slightly parted, or gently biting the lower lip..."

"Damn! I'm talking about female disciples, not teaching you this! It's blinding!"

"..."

A whole lecture.

Lin Fan was left feeling parched and exhausted.

Fortunately, Qian YinYang's guidance had been enlightening.

"What a tiring task!" Lin Fan sighed.

He wasn't particularly skilled in business dealings, but as a modern person, he had a vague understanding of various industries.

Hmm...

Just a vague understanding.

It wasn't that he wanted to watch, but in that era and environment, it was hard not to.

"Hmm, it's all because big data is so terrifying."

"...

After that, Lin Fan contacted Gu Xing Ling.

"Do you have time to see me?"

Gu Xing Ling let out a cold laugh. "With so many female fairies, do you have time for me?"

"Jealous?" Lin Fan smirked.

"Don't be ridiculous!" Gu Xing Ling naturally wouldn't admit it.

"Oh, right, right, I'm being ridiculous. But now I have something important to discuss." Lin Fan was too lazy to argue about this matter, "If, I mean, if I want to raise the sect and ascend, bringing everyone in the sect with me, how should I do it? Do you have any ideas?"

"Raise the sect and ascend?!"

Gu Xing Ling was startled, and despite the sour feeling in her heart, she gasped, "You're quite ambitious!"

"And bold."

"Oh?"

Lin Fan raised his eyebrows, "So, you have a way?"

"Please enlighten me."

"How would I have a way?" Gu Xing Ling was annoyed, "If I had a way, don't you think I'd want to raise the sect and ascend?"

"Then why did you say I was bold?"

"Isn't it simple? Raising the sect and ascending is definitely not easy, and it might even involve breaking certain taboos, which you must know."

"Knowing this and still doing it, isn't that being bold?"

"..., you make a lot of sense."

Lin Fan's mouth twitched, "Do the other Sacred Masters know? How about you ask them for me?"

"..., okay."

Gu Xing Ling agreed.

But her heart was a little puzzled.

"We were drinking together the other day, and he didn't ask me then, but now he's asking me to inquire on his behalf. What's this all about?"

But soon, she realized and couldn't help but smile to herself, "This guy..."

"He's quite thoughtful."

She understood his intention.

Why go through her?

This was clearly a way to express his closeness to her, the Moon Embrace Sect, and the Ten Thousand Flowers Sacred Land!

It was also a warning to the other Sacred Lands - the Ten Thousand Flowers Sacred Land was off-limits!

"Hmph."

After understanding this, Gu Xing Ling couldn't help but tease, "Do you think I need your protection, Mr. Lin Fan?"

"That's unnecessary."

Though she said this, her stunning face was already blooming with a smile.

Immediately,

She took action, contacting the other eight Sacred Masters for a 'meeting' through the Sky-Gazing Mirror. Though they were all in their respective lairs, their words were crystal clear to Gu Xing Ling.

---

Before leaving, Lin Fan had already returned the Sky-Gazing Mirror to Gu Xing Ling. He wouldn't dare covet someone else's treasure.

"Raise the sect and ascend?!"

Upon hearing this, the eyes of the eight Sacred Masters lit up.

Duanmu slapped his thigh, "Raising the sect and ascending is a great idea! No wonder you're Lin Zongzhu, such ambition is beyond my reach."

Yi Xing smiled, "That's very kind of you."

Jiu Long Shengzhu rubbed his forehead, "It is indeed good news, but..."

"Do any of you have a way?"

Lin Fan was too strong, and they were all worried about the Moon Embrace Sect! Otherwise, Huang Tian Jianzun wouldn't have said those words to Chen An.

Now, hearing Lin Fan's intention to raise the sect and ascend, this was excellent news for them. Once it was done, Lin Fan and his freakishly talented personal disciples would all leave the Immortal Martial Continent...

Wouldn't the Immortal Martial Continent return to its previous 'peace' then? But Jiu Long Shengzhu's words silenced everyone.

Lin Fan's idea to raise the sect and ascend was indeed great news.

But how to do it? No one knew!

For a moment, they all fell silent. Gu Xing Ling frowned slightly, "None of you eight Sacred Masters have any ideas?"

"Not even a hint?"

Silence filled the surreal realm.

Gu Xing Ling spoke up, "Jiu Long Shengzhu, you don't know either?"

"You're a member of the demon race!"

"In the past, dragon, phoenix, and qilin clans, among other divine beast races, ascended as a whole. You're a Sacred Master of the demon race, and you don't know?"

"Nonsense!"

Jiu Long Shengzhu shrank back, still remembering the fear of being dominated by Gu Xing Ling. But he argued, "You know I'm from the demon race, and they are divine beasts?"

"Would the divine beast races inform us, the demon race, about their plans?"

"Moreover, this was so many years ago. Even if there was a word or two left behind, I wouldn't know."

The other Sacred Masters: "..."

Li Chunge: "What about the others? Don't they know?"

Another silence fell.

Li Chunge was exasperated, "What's the point of talking then?"

"I thought it was good news, a great idea, but none of you have a way or even a clue. What's the point of talking then?"

"..."

Huang Tian Jianzun fell silent.

"Actually..."

"I do have a way, but it's extremely dangerous, a path to death."

The other eight Sacred Masters hurriedly asked, "Oh?! Please tell us!"

"It won't help you to know. I'll go to the Moon Embrace Sect and discuss it with Lin Zongzhu personally."

"Huang Tian Jianzun left the group chat."

Without further ado, they began their journey.

If possible, he really didn't want to expose this matter.
