Chapter 97: Taking on a Disciple - The Ruthless Empress Template! The Great Power (Part 2)
Chapter 97: Taking on a Disciple - The Ruthless Empress Template! The Great Power (Part 2)
Due to her young age, she couldn't be described as graceful and elegant just yet.
But she was incredibly adorable.
In the future, she would undoubtedly grow into a stunning beauty.
"Master, it's time to wash your face."
One day, early in the morning, YaYa knocked on Lin Fan's door.
Lin Fan exited his cultivation state and opened the door with a wave of his sleeve.
For a moment, he felt a bit sentimental.
YaYa was truly sensible! She was only six years old, but she went to bed early and woke up early, and she was very diligent. Even though the Moonseizing Sect was almost spotlessly clean, she still cleaned every day, prepared washing water for herself, and even heated water for foot baths.
Although his cultivation protected him from dust and dirt, keeping him immaculate.
Although he had told her many times.
But she persisted.
Perhaps in her eyes, this was the only thing she could do.
And she didn't want to be an idle person who couldn't do anything.
After understanding her thoughts, Lin Fan could only let her be.
After washing his face, YaYa eagerly grabbed the towel to dry it.
Seeing her small body vigorously wringing out the towel, Lin Fan felt a bit dazed for a moment.
If he wasn't mistaken, this girl was destined to be the future Empress!
The future Empress, how did she end up becoming his maid?!
He sighed, but he couldn't help but start thinking about how to nurture YaYa.
"If we analyze this according to big data..."
YaYa was busy with her chores and cleaning.
Lin Fan watched her busy figure and fell into deep thought.
According to the 'big data analysis', this type of Empress template often led a life filled with hardships in the early stages. They would experience countless struggles, followed by a rapid rise, facing numerous grand battles, and eventually becoming one of the few at the pinnacle.
A simple description might only take a few sentences.
But for a mortal to cultivate immortality, how difficult it was.
The experiences and hardships during the journey were not something others could easily comprehend.
Even the 'template itself' had to face life-and-death situations multiple times, living through a second life, a third life... until finally achieving fulfillment.
But what about YaYa?
Lin Fan frowned slightly.
"The normal path is definitely not going to work."
"Does that I can only let her figure it out herself?"
"But that's too slow and too difficult."
How many years would it take for her to reach the pinnacle on her own?
Lin Fan couldn't wait!
He didn't want to wait either.
He needed to come up with a way to help her.
"What's the golden finger for this type of template?"
Lin Fan started reasoning backward: "Exceptional talent, unwavering willpower, and a determination to never give up until the goal is achieved."
"And her goal, from beginning to end, has always been the same."
"All cultivation techniques and ultimate skills were 'enlightened' by herself."
"This is enough to prove her extraordinary talent."
"So, I probably can't teach her anything, and I can only let her figure it out herself."
"No, I can also help."
"She needs to learn to read first, or else..."
"Then..."
Suddenly, Lin Fan had an epiphany.
Give her cultivation techniques and ultimate skills? YaYa wouldn't be able to cultivate them.
But he could guide her indirectly!
Instead of teaching techniques and skills, he would teach her ideas and methods.
Or, he wouldn't even provide ideas and methods.
He would show her a story.
Let her gain insights from the story and then use her own talent to enlighten herself and learn!
However, the prerequisite for all this was literacy.
At this thought, Lin Fan suddenly had a revelation, no longer hesitating or feeling conflicted.
He pulled YaYa over and said with a smile, "Starting today, I'll teach you how to read."
"Do I need to learn to read to cultivate immortality?" YaYa didn't seem very interested.
"Yes."
"Then I'll learn!"
After receiving a positive response, she didn't hesitate at all.
Lin Fan felt a bit helpless when he saw this.
This was her strength, but also her weakness.
If she knew about her brother...
Lin Fan sighed.
He couldn't say much at this moment.
Even if he wanted to help, he couldn't, as the Moonseizing Sect was still too weak. They lacked the means and strength to contend with an Immortal Dynasty, so they could only take things one step at a time.
If there was an opportunity...
He wouldn't mind helping in this matter.
But the prerequisite was having an opportunity.
...
YaYa was very diligent.
Even though she wasn't initially interested in learning to read, when she found out that it could help her cultivate immortality and see her brother, she became extremely motivated.
In just one day, under Lin Fan's guidance, she learned over a hundred commonly used characters.
She even stayed up late at night, studying by candlelight, until she couldn't keep her eyes open and fell into a deep sleep.
Lin Fan's current cultivation level didn't require sleep.
As the night deepened.
Since his arrival in this world, this was the second time he had picked up a pen.
The first time was to write the sect rules, and this time, it was for this moment.
But unlike before, when he had to write the rules by hand, stroke by stroke, which was slow.
Now, he projected his divine sense, simultaneously controlling hundreds of pens, each writing different content, maximizing efficiency by hundreds of times!
"Thankfully, as my cultivation improves, my divine sense becomes more powerful, and the events I experienced in the past become clearer in my memory."
"Otherwise, I wouldn't be able to write this."
The night passed.
Looking at the book, now simply bound, Lin Fan smiled.
"Finished writing in one night."
"That's refreshing."
So, he flipped through the pages.
Yup, it had that flavor, no issues.
"But the title..."
After a brief contemplation, Lin Fan wrote down the title.
"Heaven-Shielding Sun"
"However, it's still a bit early to give it to her; she needs to learn more characters."
Technically, a six-year-old girl wouldn't be able to understand this kind of novel.
But YaYa was intelligent, talented, and sensible beyond her years, so Lin Fan wasn't too worried about this.
Half a month later.
YaYa had already learned nearly three thousand characters.
She could recognize and write all the commonly used characters.
On this day, Lin Fan no longer hesitated.
"YaYa."
"Your literacy skills are almost there, and now we need to change the way you learn."
"As you wish, Master."
"As long as it allows me to cultivate and wait for my brother's return, I'll do anything, Master."
Seeing her determination, Lin Fan didn't say much and simply said, "From today onwards, you'll start reading books."
"There are beauties within books, and fortunes to be found within their pages."
"You're still young, and there's much you don't understand. Reading will help you comprehend many things you haven't experienced or encountered before."
"It will also provide you with significant assistance."
"I've recently written a novel during my free time, and you can use it to practice."
"Take it and read it slowly."
"Don't rush."
"Yes, Master!"
The little girl nodded in agreement.
Then, she carefully read the first volume of 'Heaven-Shielding'.
She was very obedient.
Following Lin Fan's instructions, she read each word and sentence carefully, digesting and understanding them before moving on.
If there was something she didn't understand, she would ask Lin Fan earnestly.
Of course, this novel was slightly different from the original.
For example, the protagonists' backgrounds.
It couldn't be written that they arrived in a BMW, could it? The BMW was still parked at the foot of Mount Tai, wasn't it?
It would be strange if the story could explain that clearly.
Therefore, many of the historical contexts were toned down.
Instead, it focused on a group of people entering a bronze coffin, where the Nine Dragons pulled the coffin, breaking through the starry sky, entering the Firefly Star, encountering the Crocodile Ancestor, and then stepping into the ancient teleportation array, embarking on the Starry Ancient Path once again...
The little girl read very slowly.
Although she understood the general meaning, she couldn't quite grasp the overall significance.
She treated it as a fictional novel, a tale of immortals and gods.
As her experience grew, her reading speed gradually increased.
Another month passed.
The little girl gradually noticed something amiss.
This novel...
Seemed a bit off.
"Nannan?"
"Your brother was taken away by the Divine Dynasty?"
"..."
"A mortal body?"
"Not seeking immortality, but waiting for his return in the mortal world?!
"This...!"
She was shocked.
"This..."
"Is this true?"
"Is this just a novel, or..."
And when she read about her brother's death, tears streamed down her face.
Reading about the female emperor's revenge and the destruction of the Divine Dynasty with a single palm, she felt a mix of exhilaration and desolation.
She couldn't help but imagine how hopeless and heartbroken she would be if she were in that situation.
She cried.
Hugging Lin Fan, she didn't want to let go.
"Master, this story... I'm scared."
"Silly child, what are you afraid of?"
"Master, please tell me, is this just a story, or is it the future you've seen with your immortal abilities?"
"It's just a story."
Lin Fan rubbed her head and sighed, "Silly child, the future is ever-changing, even immortals can't foresee it, how could I possibly know the future?"
"Don't take it to heart."
"But I'm still afraid."
"..."
"I'm afraid that one day I'll end up like Nannan..."
"I don't want my brother to die."
"I want him to live!"
"I don't want that either," Lin Fan said earnestly. "But everything has its destiny, and if you want to change it, if you want everything to go your way, you must become stronger."
"Get stronger, keep getting stronger."
"When you have the power to control and change everything, there will be nothing in this world that doesn't go your way."
"But right now, neither you nor I can do it."
"All I can do is become stronger."
"What about you, YaYa?"
Wiping away her tears, the little girl said, "I want to become stronger too."
"I want my brother to live!"
"Then, let's work hard together, okay?"
"Yes!!!"
...
After that, the little girl calmed down.
Although she was still afraid and somewhat resistant, she picked up the novel 'Heaven-Shielding' once again.
In the end, she whispered to herself, "Time flows like a river, and the world turns in cycles."
"A similar flower will eventually bloom in this world, drawing your gaze countless times."
"But in the end... it's not him."
"I don't believe in reincarnation, and I don't want to reincarnate."
"If there truly is a river of time in this world..."
"Even if it's separated by countless years, I will find it, and within it, I will swim against the current, even if that flower has withered, I will bring it back to this world, and use every means to revive it."
"No matter how..."
"Difficult it may be!"
At this moment, she seemed to have suddenly matured and become fearless.
She yearned for cultivation and longed to become stronger.
But she still didn't seek immortality; she only wanted to wait for 'you' in the mortal world.
If you don't come back.
Then I'll step on the river of time, swim against the endless years, and bring you back!
From that day on, the little girl became quieter.
However, she continued to clean Lin Fan's room and do everything within her power, like a well-behaved but not overly talkative little girl.
Her maturity was heart-wrenching.
Lin Fan witnessed all of this, feeling a mix of emotions but no regrets.
She had to go through all of this.
Indeed, his actions had a bit of a 'pulling the seedlings to help them grow' feel to them.
It also made her experience this kind of pain at such a young age.
But at least, it gave her some mental preparation, and when she truly received the news, she wouldn't be as hopeless; instead, she would continue to forge ahead courageously, achieving her goals.
At the same time, if she could gain the ability to revive people early on, perhaps she could even find her brother's remains and bring him back to life.
But if she waited until who knows how many years later, after living several lives, to revive her brother, the difficulty would be countless times greater.
Stepping back a million miles, even if it comes down to this final and most difficult step, it will be so.
If Yaoyao had embarked on the path of cultivation earlier, she could have attained such strength sooner.
As for whether she will succeed... only time will tell.
Of course, there's also a possibility that they've made a mistake. Perhaps Yaoyao isn't a template for the Empress, and their similarities are just a coincidence.
Lin Fan had considered this possibility and had already made his decision.
If this is truly the case, then he will take care of her for life.
He will do his best to help prolong her lifespan, hoping to wait for the day when her brother comes to find her.
The reason is simple.
It's a matter of responsibility!
Having brought her to the mountain and accepted her as his disciple, he must take responsibility for her, no matter what.
A wife in distress must not be abandoned.
His own disciple must be cared for by him. Regardless of her achievements, he must strive to ensure she lives a worry-free life.
Otherwise, if she isn't the template for the Empress and he abandons her because she can't cultivate, what's the difference between him and the ungrateful Tang Divine King?
It's worth mentioning that Yaoyao has already read through the book "Heaven-Shielding Sun" and carefully studied it. But after that, she still holds the book every day, never letting go, except when busy.
Lin Fan didn't interfere with this.
With proper nutrition and the use of pills to nurture her body, her height began to shoot up.
Now, she looks like an eleven or twelve-year-old girl.
Adding to her already mature mind, it's hard to tell her age if you don't consider her skeletal age.
But...
At some point, she started to daydream frequently.
Sometimes she would daydream while busy.
Sometimes she would daydream while holding a book.
Once, she even stood there holding a basin of water for washing her face.
Lin Fan still didn't disturb her.
Perhaps this is her destiny.
Or perhaps there's some reason behind it.
But...
If she's truly the template for the Empress, she doesn't need him to teach her any cultivation techniques or secret arts.
All he can teach her is how to be a good person, have the right values, and how to face whatever may come her way. That's all.
As for cultivation techniques and secret arts, she must comprehend them herself! Her talent is exceptional, and it's not just talk.
...
Spring passes, and summer arrives.
Night.
At the peak of the Moonseizing Palace, Lin Fan gazes at the Taiyin Star, partially hidden by dark clouds, and sighs softly.
"The crisis is approaching."
During this time, the Moonseizing Sect has been developing rapidly, improving on all fronts.
But there are still some shortcomings.
The biggest change is that they no longer lack Essence Stones.
At least, without extravagantly purchasing expensive items, they won't run out of Essence Stones.
Over a dozen disciples from the Fan Family, including Fan Shou Xin, with decent talents, enter the outer sect of the Moonseizing Sect, cultivating the sect's techniques.
Fan Jin managed to gather some Essence Stones and used his insider privileges to purchase some cultivation pills. It's said that when he returned to the family, he was so excited he cried.
The Liu Family is also developing.
And the speed...
So fast, so fast! Xiao Ling'er's talent for alchemy is too strong, and with Yao Mu's guidance, it's like fast-forwarding.
As their cultivation and alchemy experience increase, her alchemy skills keep improving, and the pills she can refine are getting better and stronger.
Although the success rate for refining sixth-rank pills isn't high yet, fifth-rank pills are almost like child's play for her.
The strength of the Liu Family's core disciples from the first to the fifth firmaments is rapidly increasing.
The speed is so fast that the Chen and Jiang Families are astonished!
As the three major families, over the years, they have had their ups and downs, wins and losses, but they've never been too far apart. Even if one generation is slightly weaker, the stronger elders are still there to support them.
If they can't compete with this generation, the old folks should work harder, and the younger generation should be more humble.
Wait until the next generation, or the generation after that, or even ten generations! As long as the old folks are still alive, there won't be a big problem.
With their foundation, if a talented generation arises among the current disciples, the family can rise again and compete with the other two families.
But these days, the two families gradually realized the problem.
"The Liu Family..."
"So strong!"
"We know the strengths of the Liu Family's elders, but why is their younger generation growing so fast?"
"Look, they're about to surpass both our families."
"Ever since these days, whether it's the first or fifth firmament, the core disciples of the Liu Family have at least improved by one small realm, and some by several small realms."
"In terms of individual strength, they've completely surpassed our two families."
"This is very strange!"
The high-level members of the Chen and Jiang Families meet in secret and feel both surprised and troubled.
"Even if this era belongs to the Liu Family, it's impossible for all their disciples to have such talent and all-around strength!"
"Even if the Liu Family has overwhelming luck, it shouldn't be like this!"
"There must be a hidden reason!"
"Investigate!!!"
"No matter the cost, we must get to the bottom of this."
"Otherwise, in the long run, our two families might not be able to compete with them."
"When necessary..."
"Join forces!"
The three major families have stood for tens of thousands of years without falling.
But they've never joined forces before.
But now, they've sensed the situation and are even considering an alliance!
At the same time, in the North Region, the Xiao Clan, the main branch.
The Venerable Ancestor, Xiao Zhengji, is promoted!
Enjoying more of the Qianyuan Immortal Dynasty's fortune.
On the same day, Xiao Zhengji breaks through.
Becoming a Great Power.
Just over two hundred votes short of a thousand, three days left, please vote for the monthly ticket, will it reach a thousand?
