26: Tai Xuan Ancestor
"Why thank me? You call me Revered Master, so this is what I should naturally do."
Li Haotian dotingly stroked Su Yao's small head. On their way back to Spirit Gathering Peak, Su Yao suddenly posed a Soul-searching question.
"Revered Master, are you so good to me just because of our Revered Master-Disciple relationship, with nothing else involved?"
Su Yao blinked her big eyes, a hint of anticipation seemingly hidden deep within them.
Li Haotian didn't even look at Su Yao, just nodded.
"Of course, you are my Disciple, and I must fulfill the obligations a Revered Master should. If you ever have difficulties, just tell me, your Revered Master."
Li Haotian was still hoping Su Yao would become a big shot later, allowing him to lie flat and Ascend.
Receiving this conventional answer, Su Yao's mood seemed quite heavy. So, it was just a Revered Master-Disciple relationship?
As a guilty person expelled by the Su Family, she had hardly felt any kindness from others.
Li Haotian, as the first person to show her kindness, was helping Su Yao wholeheartedly.
Now that she was in trouble, her Revered Master gave her a large number of life-saving items without hesitation.
She had thought... Su Yao smiled bitterly and shook her head, then, after gathering her things, walked down the mountain.
Looking at the thin figure of Su Yao leaving alone, Li Haotian felt a bit more worried. However, on second thought, the other party was, after all, a person with Luck, and the Disciple of the Child of Fortune of this plane, so there shouldn't be any major problems.
By the way, what kind of impact could his status as the Child of Fortune of the plane bring?
Since gaining this status, he hadn't felt any change in his life.
It seemed to only make the surrounding Spiritual Qi more amiable to him; besides that, nothing.
Could the only effect be to make the surrounding Spiritual Qi absorb faster?
Li Haotian slowly turned around and went into the house to deal with some chores. He bought a large amount of grains, crushed them, and prepared to feed them to the pigs and chickens.
This kind of life seemed good too; he could do some farm work every day, slack off, and occasionally Cultivate a little.
Plus, with his Disciple madly improving herself, he could get a lot of benefits from his Disciple. Wonderful!
As Li Haotian put down the feed basin in his hand, the System's cold voice suddenly echoed in his mind.
[A person of Luck has been detected. Please, Host, go and take them as a Disciple!]
[Target: Zhang Hai, the eldest legitimate son of the Zhang Family in Jinyun City, Yuanzhou Province. Successfully taking him as a Disciple within one month will reward you with the cultivation rebate function for all Disciples!]
Li Haotian was stunned for a moment, then immediately became excited. Good heavens, good heavens, he had waited so long, and now he finally had his second Disciple!
For a moment, he felt so moved that he wanted to burst into tears.
With one more Child of Fortune, he would be able to receive more high-value rewards in the future.
"Is there a detailed introduction about this Disciple?"
"Ding! Yes, but it costs money!"
"You're a System, what do you need money for?"
"Ding! I forgot, my apologies, it's a habit. Disciple information has been sent to your inventory."
After the System's absurd operation, a small golden booklet appeared in the System's inventory, with the four large characters "Zhang Hai's Life" conspicuously written on the cover.
The content within was like a novel, recording everything from Zhang Hai's birth to the present.
The Zhang Family was actually a Family that started by raising Spirit Beasts. There were no powerful cultivators in the Family; the strongest was only at Nirvana.
That was the Zhang Family's Old Ancestor.
Their usual business was raising and selling Spirit Beasts. Whether it was selling already hatched Spirit Beasts or Spirit Beast eggs, their business was involved.
Their business scope was extremely broad, not only selling combat-type Spirit Beasts but also Spirit Pets and meat-eating Spirit Beasts.
The Colorful Feathered Chickens and Golden Cloud Pigs that Li Haotian had previously bought, the Golden Cloud Pigs, were from the Zhang Family. Golden Cloud Pigs were one of their major industries.
When he saw that his fiancée had broken off their engagement and his sister had been defiled and committed suicide, Li Haotian's eyes widened. This guy was definitely a protagonist template.
The things he experienced were exactly the pain that protagonists in those novels had gone through.
According to this guy's life story, he was once an arrogant Prodigy, but ever since he obtained an unknown Spirit Beast egg, he began to inject all his cultivation into it, hoping to hatch it.
He had even fallen into a state of madness.
This egg was his deep obsession. He always felt that something extraordinary could hatch from it, but three years passed, and the egg had no effect, while his cultivation remained stagnant.
The once brilliant Prodigy gradually faded into obscurity over these three years. He still couldn't bear to part with his egg. Everyone said he was holding a dead egg, but he simply didn't believe it.
He could sense the life aura within the egg, but no matter how much Spiritual Power he injected, he couldn't hatch it.
As a Beast Tamer, he must have his own exclusive Spirit Beast to unleash his full combat power.
He now placed all his hopes on this egg.
Li Haotian immediately thought of a plot trope from a certain novel: the same absorption of cultivation, the same broken engagement, the same tragic persecution, the same old routine.
This was completely a protagonist template. He wasn't surprised at all that such a person carried Luck.
After reading this guy's profile, Li Haotian immediately stretched his muscles and prepared to set off to find him.
Just as he was about to leave, he turned around and saw a rocking chair had appeared under the big tree at some point. An old man with white hair, dressed in white, was lying on it.
Sunlight filtered through the leaves onto the old man's face. The old man seemed to be enjoying it immensely, occasionally squinting his eyes to look at the sun in the sky.
"Old Ancestor Taixuan?"
Li Haotian called out the other party's full title with some doubt. He knew that such an Old Ancestor existed in the Sect, but he hadn't seen him much and wasn't very familiar with him.
"That Little guy Wushang's Disciple has also grown into a towering tree today. It's not easy!"
Old Ancestor Taixuan spoke faintly, his voice very ethereal. Li Haotian slowly walked to the Old Ancestor's front, standing respectfully.
After all, the other party was his grand-Revered Master, the Revered Master of his Revered Master, Supreme True Man, so he naturally couldn't neglect him.
"Old Ancestor, you jest. I am just an ordinary good-for-nothing, not worthy of being called a towering tree."
Old Ancestor Taixuan smiled, not looking at Li Haotian, but continued to gaze at the big tree.
"You have now grown to the point where you can protect your Disciple. Although you don't have powerful cultivation, you already have the ability and responsibility to become the Revered Master of a peak."
