32: Sudden Reward

Lin Fan's improvements were silent and imperceptible.

Not to mention Lin Fan himself, even the Old Ancestor of Kaoshan Sect likely wouldn't be able to discern it.

Li Changfeng sighed inwardly as he watched Lin Fan diligently chop firewood.

He truly didn't know what the System was up to, actually making him take Lin Fan as a Disciple.

Li Changfeng mused, "I hope my choice is correct."

"I've already given him the Cultivation Technique and the System. If it truly makes no splash at all,"

"By then, I won't even find a place to cry."

Immediately after, Li Changfeng sought out Phoenix Dance.

"Phoenix Dance, after dinner, take the Medicinal Pill and go Cultivate."

"You are not permitted to emerge until you Breakthrough your Realm."

"Of course, it's best to first suppress your Realm and reach the extreme in the Foundation Establishment Realm."

"Then, during the Seven Peaks Martial Meet, if you encounter an insurmountable opponent, Breakthrough at that time."

Phoenix Dance nodded, "Alright, I'll listen to Revered Master."

"But while this Disciple is away, Revered Master, please don't suddenly find me a Revered Master's Wife."

"Actually, I think Revered Master is quite good on his own."

As she spoke, Phoenix Dance glanced at Lin Yanran, who was busy.

Lin Yanran was preparing dinner, extremely focused.

Diligent men are charming, and diligent women are equally captivating!

Especially since Lin Yanran was older than her, this gave Phoenix Dance a considerable sense of crisis.

Li Changfeng reached out and tapped Phoenix Dance on the head.

"Is that how you curse your Revered Master?"

"Revered Master has been Cultivating on the mountain for ten years and has never sought a Dao Companion."

"Could it be that you want Revered Master to remain single his entire life?"

Phoenix Dance looked at Li Changfeng with a wronged expression and whispered,

"If Revered Master wishes to find a Dao Companion, this Disciple is willing."

"Now that this Disciple's great vengeance has been exacted, I can offer myself at any time."

Li Changfeng's forehead was covered in black lines. He truly didn't know what was in this girl's head.

She would constantly mention offering herself to him.

He was her Revered Master!

"Phoenix Dance, with so many people around, what kind of talk is that?"

After a moment ofstunned, Phoenix Dance quietly said,

"Revered Master, I understand."

"From now on, I'll only tell you such things privately, not in public."

Li Changfeng's expression froze, and he remained silent for a long time.

That's it!

This Disciple of his was probably beyond salvation, beyond redemption.

Phoenix Dance had a sweet smile on her face as she walked towards Lin Yanran to help prepare dinner.

Like a happy little butterfly.

Lin Fan chopped wood and made fire, not stopping for a moment.

He truly lived the lifestyle of a Mortal.

Or perhaps that's not quite accurate, because, currently, he truly was a Mortal.

Although he had gained an increase in strength, there wasn't a trace of Spiritual Qi within him.

He was absolutely the most unconventional Cultivator in history.

Before long, five dishes and one soup were ready.

Lin Yanran's cooking was excellent. Seeing everyone eat happily, the smile on her face never faded.

"Let's eat slowly, there's plenty of food."

"If we run out later, I'll fry a few more dishes."

Li Changfeng gave Lin Yanran a thumbs-up: "Lin Yanran, your cooking is truly beyond words."

"It's a good thing I agreed to let you come to Tianquan Peak with Lin Fan earlier, otherwise, where would we find such delicious food?"

"There isn't a single good cook in this Kaoshan Sect. You either eat Medicinal Pills or plain food."

"Even if there are good ingredients, no one knows how to prepare them."

Phoenix Dance nodded, "It's really delicious. From now on, Yanran, you'll be our exclusive chef."

"Revered Master, why don't you also give Yanran a Cultivation Technique and let her Cultivate with us?"

"Even if you don't take her as a Disciple, guiding her a bit to extend her lifespan by a few hundred years shouldn't be difficult, right?"

Li Changfeng thought for a moment; this was indeed a good suggestion.

Lin Yanran was a Mortal after all, and her lifespan was too short.

Letting her embark on the path of Cultivation was an excellent choice.

Lin Fan looked at Li Changfeng, his face filled with pleading.

And Lin Yanran was also full of anticipation, mixed with a hint of apprehension.

Because Li Changfeng didn't take Disciples, perhaps it was because she lacked Cultivation talent.

Immortal Sects placed great importance on talent when recruiting Disciples.

Li Changfeng: "Alright, Lin Yanran."

"I shall impart to you a Cultivation Technique, which is a basic Cultivation Technique of Kaoshan Sect, named Changchun Sutra."

"Cultivating this Changchun Sutra, while it won't make you very powerful, can extend your life."

"An additional few hundred years of life is no problem, and you can remain eternally youthful."

"If you are suited for this Cultivation Technique, having a thousand-year lifespan is not impossible."

Lin Yanran knelt, her face filled with excitement.

Her body trembled uncontrollably as she said in a deep voice,

"Thank you, Immortal Senior, for bestowing the Cultivation Technique!"

Li Changfeng said indifferently, "Get up, don't just kneel at every turn."

"I don't really care for these Mortal courtesies, understand?"

Yes!

Lin Fan's face was full of smiles, and he immediately said,

"Thank you, Revered Master, for bestowing the Cultivation Technique. Sister, now we can accompany each other for a long time."

"How wonderful!"

Mm-hmm!

After dinner, Li Changfeng took Phoenix Dance to the small wooden house.

Then he had her enter the Time Chaos Tower. After Phoenix Dance disappeared,

Li Changfeng approached Lin Fan and spoke directly.

"Lin Fan, your Revered Master has a Magic Treasure."

"It can allow you to enter its interior to Cultivate, which will yield twice the results with half the effort."

"Come with me now."

Lin Fan, however, shook his head and replied,

"Revered Master, the Cultivation Technique you bestowed upon me has set me on a different path."

"I don't need to Cultivate inside a Magic Treasure; being outside is fine."

He refused!

Li Changfeng was momentarily stunned, seeing Lin Fan's resolute refusal.

Li Changfeng spoke again, "The time inside this treasure is different from the outside."

"You Cultivate for ten days inside, but only one day passes outside."

"Lin Fan, are you sure you want to refuse?"

Lin Fan nodded, without any hesitation.

"Revered Master, my Dao is different from Senior Sister's."

Li Changfeng muttered to himself, he had also looked at the Cultivation Technique he gave Lin Fan.

But he hadn't found anything peculiar about it. Could it be because it wasn't suitable for him?

To verify this idea, Li Changfeng couldn't help but ask,

"Lin Fan, do you mean that you can Cultivate the Cultivation Technique I gave you?"

"And you've already made some progress? Have you successfully Breakthrough the Qi Refining Realm now?"

Lin Fan shook his head.

"Then can you absorb Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi, and are you about to begin Qi Refining?"

Lin Fan shook his head again.

"Since you won't reach Qi Refining that quickly, have you just sensed Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi?"

Lin Fan shook his head a third time and spoke,

"Revered Master, this Disciple fears he is destined to never achieve Qi Refining in his lifetime."

"But please rest assured, Revered Master, this Disciple will not disgrace the reputation of Tianquan Peak."

"If needed, this Disciple can fight for Tianquan Peak until his last drop of blood!"

Li Changfeng fell silent. He hadn't even sensed Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi.

Indeed, the System hadn't lied to him.

This was a hopeless piece of trash, utterly devoid of talent.

Forget it.

Since he was already his Disciple, there was nothing to regret.

Li Changfeng: "Lin Fan, your Revered Master respects your choice."

"Then Cultivate in your own way. I hope you can give your Revered Master a surprise in the future."

Lin Fan: "Yes, Revered Master!"

After speaking, Lin Fan began to clear the leftover food, then poured the previously boiled water into a basin, and silently began washing dishes.

This sight made Li Changfeng's eyes twitch, and he let out a long sigh.

He could only let everything take its natural course, leaving Lin Fan to his own devices.

But just then, the System's notification sound rang out.

"Ding! Your Disciple has fused with a wisp of Grand Dao Power, and his strength has increased."

"Congratulations! You have received a hundredfold reward. One hundred wisps of Grand Dao Power have been issued. Would you like to fuse them?"
