ALL NOVEL Chapter 8
The old beggar was really scared, so terrified he might just pee himself.
“Are you kidding me? How could there be a Transformation Stage expert in this tiny Arid Province?
Could it be related to this guy?”
Considering Hong Qianye’s remarkable background, the old beggar increasingly felt that Ye Junlin might actually be his ancestor.
Thinking of this, the old beggar was filled with regret.
What a sin! What terrible luck!
“This esteemed divine lord, I had no idea about your relationship with this young friend. What just happened was all a misunderstanding, and I hope you will be merciful and let me go.”
The old beggar dropped to his knees, pleading pitifully as if he had just lost his parents.
In the cultivation world, there are specific honorific titles for each cultivation level.
For example:
Golden Core is referred to as “Real Person.”
Nascent Soul is referred to as “True Lord.”
And for Transformation Stage, they are called “Divine Lord!”
At this moment.
Ye Junlin couldn’t even be bothered to glance at him, casually waving his hand as if shooing away a fly.
Bang!
The old beggar was struck by an invisible force, spitting blood and flying back like a broken kite, then crashing headfirst into the ground, half of his body buried in the dirt, blacking out.
Watching this silver-haired youth approach step by step, Hong Qianye wore a twisted smile on her beautiful face.
In the end, she couldn’t escape it.
Just as she felt despondent, a voice casually reached her ears.
“I see great potential in your bone structure; you’re a rare talent for cultivation. From today on, I will take you as my disciple, how about that?”
The voice wasn’t loud, but it rang like thunder, making Hong Qianye’s head spin.
“What?!”
Hong Qianye couldn’t believe it and looked up at the serious-looking silver-haired young man, her mind racing.
“Hmph, a mere Transformation cultivator dares to think of taking me as a disciple?!
Could it be he covets the secrets I possess and wants to investigate further? But if so, why not just soul search me directly? Or perhaps he wants to change his strategy, hoping I grow grateful and eventually repay him on my return to the peak!”
Honestly, it’s no wonder Hong Qianye thought this way.
As a formidable figure in the Demonic Path, she had survived numerous brutal struggles before becoming an immortal, establishing a stellar reputation in the Central Region.
She’d seen her fair share of false righteousness!
Compared to the decisive and ruthless actions of Demonic Cultivators, the deceitful pretense of righteous cultivators made her sick to her stomach!
Of course, one shouldn’t generalize.
But Hong Qianye felt that Ye Junlin’s goodwill leaned more towards her assumptions and perceptions.
“You’re not willing?”
Ye Junlin wore a somewhat playful smile.
Feeling the shift in his tone, Hong Qianye’s heart sank.
Whatever, as long as I can save my skin!
Once I recover my cultivation, I’ll be in charge again!
After all, submitting now is just the best tactic.
It’s all just acting anyway, just going through the motions!
“Disciple Hong Qianye, pays respect to Master! It’s my greatest honor to enter your school!”
Hong Qianye kneeled down, performing the formal bowing ceremony with genuine gratitude.
“Ah, good disciple, rise quickly.”
“Hong Qianye, what a good name. From now on, I’ll just call you Little Hong.”
Ye Junlin suppressed a smile, knowing this Demonic Sect leader wasn’t sincerely emotional. But it didn’t matter; he just wanted to add a new member to his Mysterious Peak and finish the system-issued task.
As for whether she would turn on him after regaining her powers, Ye Junlin didn’t worry one bit; his own cultivation would only grow stronger!
“L-Little Hong?!”
Hong Qianye’s muscles twitched, feeling utterly humiliated. After all, she was the leader of the Demonic Sect, and this title was way too casual.
[Ding, congratulations to the host for completing the disciple-taking task, reward: Divine Ability martial arts technique with automatic cultivation mode!]
[Ding, congratulations to the host for obtaining the Burial Heaven Coffin, containing one hundred and eight restrictions that will gradually unlock as the host’s cultivation level increases; currently at the low-grade Spirit Tool level!]
[Burial Heaven Coffin]: Heaven can be buried, Earth can be buried, bury everything! It can be used to refine any living beings, and eventually, it can even entomb the myriad realms!
[Ding, system detected the qualifications of the host’s disciple; this system provides a free upgrade service package!]
[Ding, reward: Fire-based martial arts technique, Three Thousand Flame Sutra!]
[Ding, reward: Fire Source Pill (used to restore fire-based spiritual roots, creating an unrivaled foundation)!]
[Ding, the rewards for this task have concluded, is the host satisfied?]
A sweet system loli voice echoed in his mind.
“Hmm, good service attitude, you’re dismissed now,” Ye Junlin said, trying to look calm while feeling exhilarated inside.
[Ding, okay!]
“This is the attitude a prestigious traveler from Huaxia should receive!”
Ye Junlin couldn’t help but marvel at the top-notch service he just experienced.
With the rewards this time, including the learned Divine Ability martial arts technique to cultivate, it was like saving him a ton of time; he’d be enjoying his life in no time!
You should know, the progress of cultivating Divine Ability techniques relates to the power level a cultivator can harness.
They have stages like: beginner, minor success, major success, perfection, and transformation.
Each stage varies greatly in unleashed power, from a hundred times even up to a thousand times different!
Cultivation level is certainly important.
But if your own strength is solid enough, you can defeat higher-level enemies and win surprising victories.
Plus, with the system’s reward of the Burial Heaven Coffin, just the name alone exudes overwhelming power, suggesting it could obliterate the Heavens if provoked!
With this magical treasure, currently at the Spirit Tool level, he’d have the capital to look down on the entire Eastern Domain.
After all, most cultivators in the Kunlun Realm struggle to even touch the threshold of the Magical Treasure level in their entire lives.
Let alone the majestic Spirit Tools specifically reserved for top-tier cultivators!
And the Burial Heaven Coffin will gradually unlock corresponding restrictions and increase its rank with his cultivation!
In the end, Ye Junlin was really looking forward to how powerful this ultimate treasure could become!
“Master! Master!”
Hong Qianye’s voice interrupted Ye Junlin’s thoughts.
Seeing her stunningly beautiful face displaying a trace of oddity, Ye Junlin realized he had zoned out.
“Ahem, Little Hong, as a welcoming gift for becoming my disciple, I should bestow upon you a technique that will aid your future cultivation.”
“Thank you, Master!”
Hong Qianye performed a symbolic hand gesture of thanks, but as she lowered her head, a flicker of disdain crossed her eyes.
Heh, a mere Transformation cultivator dares to teach me?
You really think I’m gonna let that slide, huh?
I’ll see what kind of junk technique you try to pull on me!
Swish!
Ye Junlin lightly pointed, and a flow of various information surged into Hong Qianye’s consciousness.
“Three Thousand Flame Sutra?”
Hong Qianye furrowed her brows, instinctively trying to grasp its essence.
Boom!
Her previously disdainful attitude shattered as her mind exploded, her breathing quickened, and lovely blush crept onto her cheeks, trembling as she absorbed the Sutra.
“Ah… ah…”
At this moment, Hong Qianye’s spirit was intensely shaken, lost in the profound mysteries of the Three Thousand Flame Sutra.
You see, the technique she mainly practiced, the Chaotic Anger Flame Law, was a top-tier fire-type technique!
Even in the Central Region, it was top-notch, playing a crucial role in her personal cultivation.
For a long time, she was very satisfied with this technique and was confident she could rise again, breaking through to become an immortal.
Yet now, with the Three Thousand Flame Sutra gifted to her, it completely overthrew her previous understanding, shifting her mindset dramatically.
Compared to the Three Thousand Flame Sutra, her Chaotic Anger Flame Law was downright trash!
There was no comparison; it was like the difference between heaven and earth!
“Heavens, this must be at the Immortal level, maybe even legendary Saint level…”
Hong Qianye felt like she had been hit with a huge wave of happiness, feeling dizzy, with immense shock washing over her.
This technique not only opened up a new avenue for fire-based cultivation but also contained three thousand fire-based Divine Abilities, ranked so that the higher the rank, the greater the power!!
With this technique to assist her, her cultivation would soar remarkably, and her strength would skyrocket beyond imagination!
Returning to True Immortal?
No!
Let’s aim even higher!
Just as Hong Qianye was lost in daydreams, Ye Junlin tossed her a smooth red pill, “And this, for you.”
“What is this…”
Staring at the red pill in her hand, Hong Qianye felt as if struck by lightning, her face a picture of disbelief as she screamed:
“Fire Source Pill?!!”
