Zhu Xian: Get ten times the talent, the sword opens the gate of heaven

night!
Dazhu Peak, Shoujing Hall.

Tian Buyi and Su Ru sat at the top of the long table, while Song Daren, Wu Dayi, Zheng Dali, He Dazhi, Lü Daxin, and Du Bishu sat on either side of the table.

Zhang Xiaofan sat below Tian Buyi, with Tian Ling'er and Yan Hong sitting on either side of him.

Eleven people were gathered around a long table, chatting and laughing as they ate their dinner.

The atmosphere was pleasant, without the many rules found at other peaks; it felt more like family.

Tian Buyi picked up a piece of spicy tofu and put it in his mouth, saying as he ate:
"Seventh brother, your cooking is still the best."

"You have no idea how terrible the food Lao Liu cooked was while you were gone. I even lost twenty pounds."

Zhang Xiaofan took a closer look and found that Tian Buyi had indeed lost some weight.

However, Tian Buyi was too fat. Even though he lost 20 pounds, he didn't look much different unless you looked closely.

Looking at Tian Buyi's flabby body and his large belly that resembled that of a woman in her tenth month of pregnancy, Zhang Xiaofan smiled and said:
"Master, I can actually make you thinner in a minute. Would you like to lose some weight?"

"Get thinner?" Tian Buyi pictured a short, thin middle-aged man with small eyes who didn't seem very intimidating, so he quickly shook his head and said:

"Never mind, I think I look pretty good when I'm chubby."

Su Ru glared at Tian Buyi, then leaned down and whispered in his ear:
"You're better now, but I feel terrible. You're too heavy."

"Cough cough!" Upon hearing this, Tian Buyi coughed twice, almost spitting out his food. He glanced at his disciples, who seemed normal, and realized that none of them had heard him.

So he leaned close to Su Ru's ear and whispered:

"It's good that they're chubby; it feels reassuring to hug them."

Upon hearing this, Su Ru glared at Tian Buyi and then fell silent.

Tian Ling'er placed a piece of meat in Zhang Xiaofan's arms and said with a charming smile:

"Come here, Xiao Fan, your senior sister will give you some meat."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Xiaofan thought of seventeen years ago, when he was only eleven years old. When he first arrived at Dazhu Peak, Tian Ling'er had the same words, the same actions, the same smile, and the same protectiveness.

However, her gaze had changed. Before, it was the gaze of a senior sister protecting her junior brother; now, it was the gaze of admiration.

Zhang Xiaofan looked at Tian Ling'er and said:
"Thank you, senior sister."

As he spoke, Zhang Xiaofan picked up a piece of meat and started eating.

Tian Ling'er gently nuzzled Zhang Xiaofan's arm, and said shyly:

"What's our relationship? Why are you thanking me..."

Seeing this, Yan Hong, who was standing next to her, smiled with envy.

She also loved Zhang Xiaofan, but knowing that Tian Ling'er liked Zhang Xiaofan, she was discreet and kept her love hidden in her heart.

Moreover, she felt that her time at Dazhufeng was quite good.

Her senior apprentice, Song Daren, took good care of her, and her master, Tian Buyi, and his wife were also very kind to her, not minding at all that she already had skills before becoming an apprentice.

The months she spent at Dazhu Peak made her feel at home, a feeling she had never experienced at Fenxiang Valley.

In the Incense Valley, apart from her senior brother Li Xun, who genuinely cared for her and treated her like a younger sister, the other fellow disciples were constantly scheming and plotting against each other.

Even her master, Yun Yilan, treated her as a pawn, someone who could be discarded at any time, or even killed at will.

If Zhang Xiaofan hadn't saved her, she would have died at Yun Yilan's hands long ago.

Therefore, the months she spent at Dazhufeng were the most peaceful and reassuring days of her life.

She doesn't have to worry about being secretly harmed by her fellow disciples, about scheming against each other, or about her master using or even killing her at any time.

She finally understood why Zhang Xiaofan, even after spending ten years in the Demonic Sect and marrying the Ghost King's daughter, still considered Dazhu Peak his home.

She finally understood why Zhang Xiaofan, after becoming an immortal, was still willing to return to Dazhu Peak to cook for Tian Buyi and his wife, as well as his fellow disciples. Because this was Dazhu Peak, Zhang Xiaofan's true…home! Du Bishu looked at Zhang Xiaofan and suddenly smiled, saying:

"Xiao Fan, I never imagined that you would become a true immortal after only seventeen years of cultivation."

"Your talent is truly exceptional."

Zhang Xiaofan smiled upon hearing this and said:
"I was able to become a true immortal entirely through my own efforts."

"Haha...haha..." Du Bishu and Song Daren laughed immediately upon hearing this.

Wu Dayi, in particular, said with a bitter expression:

“Xiao Fan, I have been cultivating for over a hundred years, and I am only at the third level of the Jade Purity Realm. I have been working hard to cultivate day and night.”

Upon hearing this, Du Bishu said:
"This must be because you haven't tried hard enough."

Wu Dayi: "…………"

Song Daren looked at Zhang Xiaofan and thought of the time when his junior brother and Lin Jingyu stood in the Jade Purity Hall.

The leaders of the Six Families all ignored their junior brother and were all focused on snatching Lin Jingyu, who had extraordinary potential.

Now, seventeen years later, Lin Jingyu has indeed developed extraordinary talent, having cultivated to the Shangqing realm, making him a rare talent, one in a hundred years.

However, seventeen years have passed, and the junior brother has become a true immortal, a level that no one in the world has reached in ten thousand years.

This achievement is far superior to Lin Jingyu's.

He still remembers that it was he who flew back from Tongtian Peak to Dazhu Peak on his sword, and he also took care of his junior brother's daily life.

Unexpectedly, seventeen years later, his junior brother, who needed his care back then, has grown to a level that even he has to look up to.

Moreover, it is a realm that can only be hoped for but never reached in this lifetime.

Thinking of this, Song Daren looked at Zhang Xiaofan and smiled with satisfaction.

Feeling Song Daren's gaze and seeing the satisfied smile on Song Daren's face, Zhang Xiaofan immediately smiled and nodded at Song Daren.

Zhang Xiaofan knew how much his senior brother Song Daren had taken care of him when he first arrived at Dazhu Peak.

Therefore, even though he is now a true immortal while Song Daren is only at the Jade Purity Realm, he still has great respect for Song Daren.

Thinking of this, Zhang Xiaofan asked:

"Senior Brother, when are you going to marry Senior Sister Wenmin?"

"Ahem!" Upon hearing this, Song Daren blushed and scratched his head, saying:
"Master recently went to Xiaozhu Peak to propose marriage to Uncle Shuiyue, and Uncle Shuiyue agreed to marry Junior Sister Wenmin to me."

At this point, Song Daren suddenly said:

"By the way, Master also proposed marriage to Lu Xueqi on your behalf to Martial Uncle Shuiyue, and Martial Uncle Shuiyue agreed."

“I…” Zhang Xiaofan paused, then looked at Tian Buyi and said:
"Thank you for your kindness, Master."

He knew that his master had always wanted to marry his only daughter, Tian Ling'er, to him.

However, the master still proposed marriage to Master Shuiyue, asking Lu Xueqi to marry him.

Could it be that Master Tian Buyi intends for him to marry both his senior sister Tian Ling'er and Lu Xueqi at the same time...?

This……

He hadn't even said he wanted them all, but his master, Tian Buyi, had already given them all to him.

It seems that Tian Buyi truly lives up to his reputation as his master, knowing his personality inside and out.

Since his master, Tian Buyi, had already done so, he had no choice but to... take them all.
