Chapter 7: The gap between master and apprentice



"Master, is there really no other way?" Lin Fan looked at his master in front of him with trembling eyes. Even when he was at his weakest, he had never surrendered to anyone, let alone kneeled down to others.

He is a proud man, how can he yield to others?

"Not very likely." Xuan Lin shook his head. He was just a remnant soul now, and he had been infusing Lin Fan's body during this period. His cultivation was no longer at the level of a Heavenly Master in the Immortal Realm. Even if he wanted to escape, he first needed to break the space blockade.

Even if they break through the space blockade, they still have to prevent being obstructed by Qin Jiuge and the dragon, which is the biggest obstacle.

"As long as the green mountains remain, there will be no shortage of firewood..." Xuan Lin looked at Lin Fan hesitantly. His meaning was very clear, that is, to apologize and leave, and it would not be too late to take revenge later.

Lin Fan now looked at his master with a bit of strangeness. How could his master be so afraid of death? His master was so powerful, how could he tear off a piece of Qin Jiuge's flesh?

However, his master forced him to kneel down before those who insulted him because he was afraid of death. This is what his master meant by the demeanor of a strong man.

For the first time, Lin Fan felt what the purpose of cultivation was. Even if he reached a powerful level like his Master, he would still give up his dignity for the sake of his life. Perhaps in the Master's heart, his dignity could be abandoned at any time.

The more Lin Fan thought about it, the colder he felt in his heart.

"Disciple...I don't want to." Lin Fan's eyes were ferocious. He rejected his master's words for the first time. Even if he survived after kneeling down, how would he know the truth in the future? Living a life of shame and disgrace was not what he wanted.

Xuanlin smiled bitterly. Lin Fan was too old-fashioned. It would be fine if everything went smoothly, but in a situation like this, your life would not be in jeopardy. You should know that it is never too late for a gentleman to take revenge.

"Old Senior, I wonder what your name is."

"My name is Gulin." Xuanlin hesitated for a moment but still did not reveal his Taoist name.

"Old Senior Gu Lin, you don't owe Lin Fan anything. I think you are also curious about my identity, so I might as well tell you that I am a Taoist of the Qin Clan of the Ancient Immortal Realm."

"I have no grudge against you, senior. You look like a remnant soul, and you need a healing product to be cured. On behalf of the Qin Clan, I am willing to give you the status of a guest of the Qin Clan, and I will do my best to cure you. What do you think?"

Qin Jiuge looked at the phantom of the soul floating in the air with a smile on his face, took out the Wen Dao Divine Lotus from the storage ring and placed it in front of Xuan Lin.

Xuan Lin's heart twitched. If he had not met Lin Fan before, he would have agreed to such an offer immediately, and he was even afraid that Qin Jiuge would regret it. He had heard of the ancient Qin clan, which was a race that truly stood at the top of the ancient fairyland.

As long as he becomes a guest official of the ancient Qin clan, he will surely be able to avenge his past hatred. However, what tempts Xuanlin the most now is not the guest official of the Qin clan but the Wen Dao Divine Lotus, which is one of the best elixirs for treating the current disease.

If he could take the Wen Dao Divine Lotus, he would be able to return to the realm of the Heavenly Venerate within a thousand years. Even with the help of the Qin clan, he might be able to step into the realm of gods and demons and become an eternal giant in his lifetime, living for millions of years and surviving thousands of disasters.

"Oh, by the way, I think Lin Fan has done a lot of good things for me, so I am willing to teach him. In order to settle the debt between me and Lin Fan, I can let Lin Fan go. I wonder what I think."

Qin Jiuge looked at Xuan Lin slowly, with his hands behind his back and a calm expression, as if he was giving him the chance because he was excited about seeing prey.

In fact, it is true. For someone of Qin Jiuge's status, it would be easy for the Human Emperor to be his subordinate. As long as Qin Jiuge spreads the word in the ancient fairyland, there are countless Human Emperors who are willing to abandon their own traditions and serve under Qin Jiuge.

Xuanlin also understood that he was probably willing to accept him only because Qin Jiuge was excited about the prospect.

Moreover, the chips Qin Jiuge offered were sufficient and sincere.

Qin Jiuge was right about one thing. Lin Fan had been kind to him. He absorbed spiritual energy from him for several years, which resulted in Lin Fan being a useless person who was unable to practice. So when Xuan Lin woke up, perhaps out of guilt or because he saw that Lin Fan had good talent, he took the initiative to accept Lin Fan as his disciple.

On one side is the avenue of freedom, and on the other side is a dead end. If he hadn't had some feelings for Lin Fan, he would have already joined Qin Jiuge.

Lin Fan looked at his master who was obviously moved, and suddenly a feeling of resentment arose in his heart.

"Can you really promise to let Lin Fan go?" Xuan Lin seemed to be looking for another reason to accept it.

"Don't you see what kind of identity my young master has to have to lie to you, old man? If you still had a mortal body, I would still be a little afraid of you. Then you would still be worthy of following the young master. But don't you see what you have now that is worthy of my young master's covetousness." Ling Jiao, who had turned into a human, looked at Xuan Lin with disdain.

What?

Don’t you even look in the mirror to see what you look like now!

Xuanlin was a little annoyed, but he could not deny that Ling Jiao was right. He really did not have anything that the ancient Qin clan Taoist could covet.

But Qin Jiuge still gave himself the opportunity to choose, and to some extent gave himself face.

"I don't need your rescue." Suddenly, Lin Fan, who was standing aside, looked angrily at the conversation between his master, whom he usually respected, and his enemy. Thinking of Qingyao's innocence being tarnished by the person in front of him, Lin Fan felt annoyed.

"Old senior, you tried so hard to save him, but he doesn't appreciate it." Qin Jiuge looked at Lin Fan indifferently, his eyes flashing, as if Lin Fan was an ant that he could step on to death whenever he wanted, and there was nothing worth paying attention to.

Xuanlin glanced at his disciple, whom he was usually very satisfied with, but now he felt disappointed. Not only was he emotional, but he also attached too much importance to women.

"If the senior is unwilling to choose, I will make the choice for him."

"Ling Jiao, knock down his cultivation and throw him out." Qin Jiuge stared at Xuan Lin with narrowed eyes, as if he would deal with Xuan Lin as long as he dared to make a move.

At this moment, Xuanlin's face turned pale and blue, and no one knew what he was thinking.

"Please consider this carefully, old senior." Looking at Xuan Lin who was ready to make a move, Qin Jiuge looked at him indifferently.

"Yes, sir." Ling Jiao walked towards Lin Fan with fierce eyes, his knuckles cracking. It looked like Lin Fan would be skinned alive if he didn't die.

"Master." Lin Fan opened his mouth slightly and looked at Xuan Lin not far away. Master would not be so cruel as to let others destroy his cultivation in front of him, right?

Seeing Lin Fan, with whom he had gradually developed feelings, looking at him, Xuan Lin said to Qin Jiuge with a slightly apologetic look, "I'm sorry, Mr. Qin, thank you for your kindness." After that, Xuan Lin rushed over and picked up Lin Fan with one hand, and the power of his soul burst out, and he was sublimating to the extreme.

Burning the origin of his soul is his last bit of strength. When his physical body was still there, his cultivation was at the level of Heavenly Venerate, so the origin of his soul is his Heavenly Venerate status.

Once the status of Heavenly Venerate is burned, he will never be able to return to Heavenly Venerate in his lifetime, which also means that his journey to the great road has come to an end.

"Sure enough, the son of luck is so unreasonable." Qin Jiuge looked at Xuan Lin, who would rather burn his position as the Heavenly Venerable to save Lin Fan, and he understood in his heart why the son of luck in novels can always escape danger.

Let’s not talk about anything else, just today, aren’t the conditions Qin Jiuge offered enough?
