Chapter 1: Soul Transmigration into Sun Dachu

Hengyue Sect.

In a herb garden.

Sun Xuan blinked somewhat dazedly, just as he had not yet figured out what was happening.

Suddenly, a wave of memories violently flooded into the depths of Sun Xuan's mind.

"What! I actually soul-transmigrated into that unlucky fellow Sun Dachu in Renegade Immortal, who feigned taking Wang Lin as a Disciple, but actually harbored evil intentions toward Wang Lin, and was ultimately killed in a counterattack!"

"Damn it!"

Sun Xuan cursed heavily in his heart.

At this moment, a voice sounded from the depths of Sun Xuan's mind.

"The ten-thousandfold disciple return system has been activated!"

"Available Disciple-taking Quotas: [0 / 1]"

"The System will grant a ten-thousandfold return based on the cultivation growth progress of the Disciple you have taken!"

"The cultivation gained from the return can be used to increase your own cultivation, deduce Cultivation Techniques, deduce Formations, refine Medicinal Pills, refine Magical Artifacts, and so on!"

Upon hearing this voice in his mind, a sharp glint instantly appeared in Sun Xuan's eyes.

"Truly, just when you think you are at the end of your rope, a new path opens up!"

Originally, Sun Xuan thought he was a dead man, having transmigrated into the unlucky fellow Sun Dachu in Renegade Immortal; even if he didn't covet Wang Lin's treasures,

in this cruel world of immortal cultivation, with Sun Dachu's wretched Aptitude, he wouldn't live for long anyway!

But now things were different.

With this ten-thousandfold disciple return system, as long as he took Wang Lin as a Disciple,

given the speed of Wang Lin's cultivation growth, his strength as a Master would surely advance by leaps and bounds.

"Elder Sun, after returning last night, I heard Senior Brother Liu from the miscellaneous chores department say early this morning that you were looking for me, so I came right over."

At this moment, an ordinary-looking rural youth walked into the herb garden.

He bowed respectfully to Sun Xuan and said,

Well, the main character had arrived.

Sun Xuan glanced at Wang Lin before him, forcibly suppressing the burning emotion deep within his heart.

If it were the original Sun Dachu, he probably would have dragged Wang Lin to his residence without a second word to look for treasures.

But the current Sun Xuan would definitely not do such a thing.

With this ten-thousandfold disciple return system, Sun Xuan now sincerely wanted to take Wang Lin as a Disciple.

As for the heaven defying bead on Wang Lin, this hot potato—even if it were given to him for free, he wouldn't want it.

It was better for it to stay on Wang Lin. Anyway, Wang Lin's cultivation growth would inevitably bring benefits to him, Sun Xuan.

Sun Xuan thought for a moment in his mind, then spoke to Wang Lin:

"You must be Wang Lin. Hearing about your experiences within the sect earlier suddenly reminded me of my past self.

For us people who Cultivate, good or bad Aptitude is only one aspect of the reason. As long as one is willing to put in the effort, the day of achieving success in Cultivation will come sooner or later.

It can be said that you and I are fated; I wonder if you are willing to become my Disciple!"

After listening to Sun Xuan's words, Wang Lin was noticeably stunned.

Originally, Wang Lin thought that his precious bead had been discovered by this Elder Sun, who wanted to plot for his treasure.

He had been racking his brains in his heart, trying to figure out how to fool his way through it.

However, he never expected that this Elder Sun actually wanted to take him as a Disciple.

Thinking of this, a wave of wild joy could not help rising in Wang Lin's heart.

Wang Lin had deeply experienced the difference between an Outer Sect Disciple and a proper Inner Sect Disciple during these past few days.

Now, such an Opportunity to become an Inner Sect Disciple was placed right before his eyes; how could he possibly miss it?

Although Wang Lin still harbored some doubts in his heart about Sun Xuan's motives for taking him as a Disciple,

with this heaven-sent Opportunity placed right before him, Wang Lin could no longer care about that much.

"Plop!"

Wang Lin was seen kneeling on the ground with a pleasantly surprised expression, and then immediately kowtowed three loud times to Sun Xuan.

"Master is above, please accept this Disciple's bow!"

Seeing this, Sun Xuan secretly thought in his heart: "It's done!"

Although Sun Xuan saw the hesitation hidden in Wang Lin's eyes, it was of no great consequence.

As long as he, Sun Xuan, treated Wang Lin sincerely in the future, given Wang Lin's loyal and righteous personality, he would definitely acknowledge him as his Master.

At this very moment, the System's voice sounded in Sun Xuan's mind:

"Disciple taken successfully!"

Immediately following that, a System panel appeared in Sun Xuan's mind:

[Name: Sun Xuan]

[Cultivation: Qi Condensation Level 5]

[Magic Treasure: Azure Wood Sword (Qi Condensation Grade)]

[Spells: Wood Thorn Spell, Lightness Spell, Condensed Earth Shield, Alchemy Technique (Unranked), Formation (Unranked)]

[Disciple: Wang Lin (Cultivation: Mortal)]

[Available Disciple-taking Quotas: 1 / 1]

"Haha, good, good, good! My Disciple, quickly rise!"

Seeing this scene, Sun Xuan said to Wang Lin from the bottom of his heart, and personally walked over to help Wang Lin up.

Looking at the sincerity on Sun Xuan's face, Wang Lin's previous conjecture that Sun Xuan harbored evil intentions became even more shaken.

"Disciple, go back and pack your luggage, then move to your Master's place. Your Cultivation has not yet entered the threshold; I happen to want to properly explain the method of Cultivation to you."

Sun Xuan spoke to Wang Lin in a cordial tone.

Seeing this, Wang Lin bowed to Sun Xuan once more and said,

"Disciple obeys Master's orders!"

After saying that, he turned and walked out the door.

Not long after Wang Lin walked out of the herb garden, he heard a youth in white sneering mockingly from the side:

"Heh, a trash Master takes a trash Disciple; they really are a matching pair."

Hearing these words, Wang Lin's heart stirred slightly.

He believed what Sun Xuan had told him just moments ago a few points more.

His guard in his heart also relaxed even more.

As for the white-clothed youth scolding him as a good-for-nothing, his current strength was too low, so there was nothing he could do for the time being.

However, deep in his heart, he quietly memorized it, thinking that once his immortal arts achieved success, he would definitely make the other party pay.

After Wang Lin left, Sun Xuan began picking a few stalks of Spirit Medicine in the herb garden,

preparing to refine some Medicinal Pills that increased cultivation to help Wang Lin step into Qi Condensation Level 1 as soon as possible.

At this moment, Sun Xuan felt a strong sense of crisis in his heart. With his mere Qi Condensation Level 5 cultivation, he simply could not protect himself in this cruel world of immortal cultivation.

Therefore, he thought of quickly raising Wang Lin's cultivation, and then using the ten-thousandfold return to boost his own strength.

After a short while, Wang Lin brought a bundle and returned once more to Sun Xuan's herb garden.

The heaven defying bead was of great importance, so Wang Lin had already hidden it in a secret place and did not bring it along.

Sun Xuan didn't mind either; he hadn't intended to snatch Wang Lin's treasure in the first place.

Seeing Wang Lin entering the herb garden at this moment, he handed a Storage Pouch over to Wang Lin, and then said to Wang Lin in a cordial tone:

"Wang Lin, this is the identity token of an Inner Sect Disciple, and it is also a Storage Pouch. It can store quite a few things; your clothes and Cultivation Technique are all inside.

You can look through the Cultivation Technique yourself first; if there is anything you don't understand, I can answer it for you now."

As he spoke, he sat cross-legged on a futon within the herb garden, and then motioned for Wang Lin to sit on another futon to look through the Cultivation Technique.
