He knelt before a wild Taoist priest who was even younger than him, begging to be accepted as a disciple.

Is this scientifically sound?

This is not scientific!

This is even more mystical than what they study in metaphysics, okay?

Everyone here is from a proper, formally trained background, but now their boss's ancestor is forcing their boss to worship a wild Taoist priest whom they usually look down upon.

What's going on here?

They were truly dumbfounded.

The Fang family patriarch could also see that his unfilial descendants were not convinced.

It doesn't matter.

If he witnesses the prowess of this young fellow Daoist, he will naturally be convinced.

The Fang family patriarch was very confident about this.

In truth, he was also eager to know what knowledge this young Daoist, whose origins he couldn't even fathom, would impart to his descendant.

He couldn't wait to see it for himself.

[The reward has been issued. Please check your account.]

[Reward 1: 500 years of lifespan. Host's remaining lifespan: 460 years.]

[Reward 3: A mystery gift has been sent. Please open it, host. Do you wish to open it?]

[Reward 4: A mentorship gift pack has been issued. Please open it, host. Do you wish to open it?]

"Unlock the mystery gift and the teaching gift package."

If it weren't for the presence of the Fang family's patriarchs, Zhang Tianle would have been eager to rub his hands together.

Anything produced by our system is guaranteed to be of high quality.

He was quite curious about what good things he could get from this mysterious gift and the teaching gift package.

[The mystery gift has been opened: A righteous ruler. Note: Righteousness and justice prevail—where there is reason, even gods and demons can be vanquished!]

[Mastery Gift Pack 1: Time Capsule, limited to once per month, maximum 3 people per session. Inside the Time Capsule, the Time Elder can specifically teach skills to his apprentices. The master will then master the skills learned by the apprentice. Each opening allows the master to stay in a special time-space for one year. Note: One year inside is equivalent to one day outside.]

[Mastery Gift Pack 2: 9 Skill Boxes. Can be used to unlock suitable skills for a new disciple when accepting a new apprentice.]

[Apprenticeship Gift Pack 3: Master's Gift *9. Open each time you take on an apprentice, and you will be rewarded with a weapon suitable for that apprentice.]

[Cultivation Technique Box Unlocked: Complete Collection of Formations.]

[Master's Gift Unlocked: Array Plate*1, Array Brush*1, Blank Array Diagram*1]

[It has been placed in the host's study. Please check.]

Zhang Tianle listened to the system's announcement in his ear.

His expression turned slightly strange.

They even had a slight dislike for the system.

In other novels, the protagonists who obtain a system usually get something like a spatial ring.

The system he got is useless at everything, and it always contradicts him; it's incredibly weak.

What's worse is that the system doesn't give him any space, such as a spatial ring or a spatial backpack.

After issuing the rewards, we still need to find a place to distribute them.

It's not high-class at all.

It seems they heard Zhang Tianle's complaints.

[Host's level is insufficient. Please cultivate diligently. Once the level is reached, the space can be unlocked.]

Zhang Tianle: "..."

At this moment, all he could do was laugh.

You're trash yourself, yet you try to manipulate him.

Waste system.

While mentally complaining about the system, Zhang Tianle said to Fang Tianci, "Wait here for me, I'll get you the apprenticeship gift."

Zhang Tianle returned to his study and took out the complete collection of array formations, array plates, array brushes, and blank array diagrams distributed by the system from the desk.

"System, what is the purpose of this blank array?"

Don't let Fang Tianci ask you about it and you say you don't know.

That would be awkward.

[This allows people to enter the array to learn array techniques; there are plenty of materials inside!]

Zhang Tianle: "..."

This world seems to be getting more and more fantastical.

He could at least understand formations.

It's outrageous that there's so much material.

As Zhang Tianle was thinking this, he had already brought this pile of things to Fang Tianci and stuffed them into Fang Tianci's arms: "Take a look for yourself, and ask me if you don't understand."

When he asks him questions and the person doesn't know the answer, he puts the person into a time capsule, which is mainly a way to avoid trouble.

Fang Tianci was taken aback when he received the pile of things that Zhang Tianle had given him.

But when his gaze fell upon the book in his arms, his eyes trembled.

How did he know he liked formations?

And this... a complete collection of battle formation diagrams?

Could this be the array diagram he was thinking of?

Really?

He swallowed hard.

Without thinking twice, he immediately opened the complete collection of array diagrams.

Fang Tianci's body trembled again the moment his gaze fell upon the knowledge contained within.

My God! This really is the complete set of the array diagrams he guessed!

The complete collection of legendary, lost battle formation diagrams!

He really made the right choice in choosing a master this time!

The person he's worshipping is not a true master!

This is Dad!

He's his biological father!

Even your own father couldn't provide such amazing resources!

"Thank you, Master! I love you, Master!"

After saying that, he couldn't care less about anything else and sat cross-legged on the ground, eagerly absorbing the knowledge inside the array diagram.

As for the Fang family patriarch who had encouraged Fang Tianci to become Zhang Tianle's apprentice, he sensed something was wrong when he saw Fang Tianci's reaction and floated in front of him.

Look at the complete collection of array diagrams.

Before his gaze could even reach the complete array, a golden light flashed past and sent him flying.

Meanwhile, the Fang family patriarch, who had been sent flying far away, looked at the complete collection of formations in Fang Tianci's hand.
