Hong Kong Ghost Story: I've become an apprentice of Chung Fat-pak and will only play in the pea

He paid over 300,000 yuan in rent for three years! That was almost all of his savings!

Lin Xuan has become an instructor at GGT in Kowloon, and his future looks very promising.

As his mentor, he couldn't offer Lin Xuan anything else, but he couldn't let Lin Xuan worry about where he lived!

That would mean the apprentice supports the master, not the master.

Inverted!

Zhong Fabai isn't old enough to need his apprentice to support him.

Zhong Fabai pondered to himself, "GGT offers a base salary of 1 yuan per month. Should I join GGT?"

Putting everything else aside, at least I won't have to worry about rent anymore.

Zhong Fabai knew his personality wasn't suited to joining this kind of organization, but even a hero can be brought down by a lack of money!

Zhong Fabai was happy because he had rented such a large shop, but soon he became gloomy again.

Of course, in front of Lin Xuan, Zhong Fabai still put on an air of ease and composure.

These were all minor issues, nothing that could stump him.

"Master, if you're short of money, I do have some here. The reward for killing the Ghost King has been paid out. I'll use 100,000 of the 500,000 to pay the rent, and the rest for everyday expenses like buying a car."

Lin Xuan naturally knew to save face for Zhong Fabai, so he didn't say that he would pay all the rent.

Then, before Zhong Fabai could react, Lin Xuan brought up the matter of Ah Feng and her son.

“Master, the general store is so big, it can’t be run by just the two of us. I’m a GGT instructor, and I have missions to take on. I need to catch ghosts or help the students, so I can’t be in the store all the time!”

“Master, you also need to help with ghost catching and feng shui. The general store is likely to be empty most of the time, which won’t do!”

"Perfect timing! I've met a mother and child who are perfect for us. They're born with the ability to see ghosts, so they'd be ideal to help us. Master, you wouldn't refuse, would you?"

"I've heard that people with the ability to see ghosts are more likely to develop a physique suitable for cultivation, and they are also more talented. That mother is too old, so she probably won't be able to achieve anything significant. The boy is only nine years old this year, which is the perfect time for him to lay the foundation."

"I'll bring him over tomorrow, Master. Please take a look at his talent. If he's good, he can be a great junior brother for me!"

Lin Xuan's words made Zhong Fabai almost forget about the 500,000.

It's all because Lin Xuan not only found helpers for the shop, but almost gave him a disciple.

But Zhong Fabai couldn't bring himself to refuse, since Lin Xuan was doing it all for his benefit.

However, it felt awkward for an apprentice to be thinking about his master's interests, and Zhong Fabai couldn't get used to it for a while.

"Sigh, you've already picked them out, what can I do? I'll bring them to meet you tomorrow!"

Zhong Fabai sighed.

As long as the child with the ability to see ghosts isn't too bad-looking tomorrow, Lin Xuan would be willing to take him as a disciple out of respect for Lin Xuan.

In fact, after having Lin Xuan as his disciple, Zhong Fabai never thought of taking on any more disciples.

But since Lin Xuan had already said so, he had no choice but to agree.

The power dynamic between master and disciple seems to have subtly shifted.

"Master, this is a pile of spirit stones that I unexpectedly obtained today. You can use them to cultivate now. With so many spirit stones, it shouldn't be difficult for you to break through to the ninth level of the Human Master realm!"

The matter of Ah Feng and her son has been settled.

Lin Xuan took out a cloth bag and handed it to Zhong Fabai.

Without even opening it, Zhong Fabai could sense the pure spiritual energy emanating from it.

When it was opened, there were pieces of crystal stones, each about the size of a thumb...

Zhong Fabai was utterly shocked.

"Spirit stones, Lin Xuan, where did all these spirit stones come from?!"

Spirit stones, these are extremely rare!

Since the end of time, the number of spirit stones has been decreasing day by day, and now, there are hardly any spirit stones left in the entire supernatural world.

Zhong Fabai had only seen the spirit stone once when he was a child, following a senior from Maoshan. This was only the second time he had seen it!

"Master, I obtained this by chance from a dense forest!"

Lin Xuan said with a smile.

"It was because of them that my cultivation broke through to the Earth Master level. After that, the remaining spirit stones should be enough for you, Master, to cultivate to the ninth level of the Human Master level."

"If you hone your skills in the Nine Heavens for a while, you might be able to break through to the Earth Master level before your senior master!"

"By chance, you found it?"

Zhong Fabai's face was filled with disbelief.

Finding a spirit stone requires such incredible luck and coincidence; it's simply outrageous!

Even the so-called chosen ones of destiny can't just randomly pick up spirit stones!

Moreover, Lin Xuan broke through to the Earth Master level!

This was the first time Zhong Fabai had heard of it, and he was utterly shocked.

I was absolutely stunned!

Uncle Ying didn't tell Zhong Fabai about this at all; he just wanted to see Zhong Fabai's shocked expression.

Although Zhong Fabai felt that Lin Xuan was different from usual today, Lin Xuan had concealed all his aura, so he couldn't possibly think that Lin Xuan had broken through to the level of a geomancer.

Geomancer!

That's a geomancer!

It has blocked the path of countless cultivators, some for a lifetime.

Having practiced the Maoshan Qi Refining Technique, Zhong Fabai had some confidence that he could break through to the Earth Master level, but whether he could actually do so was still uncertain.

Lin Xuan is now a geomancer!

Zhong Fabai was shocked.

He had been amazed by Lin Xuan's cultivation speed more than once.

But this time, upon learning that Lin Xuan had broken through to the Earth Master level, he remained speechless for a long time!

Even someone with a naturally gifted physique couldn't possibly cultivate this fast!

This cannot be explained by physical constitution at all!

"Lin Xuan, you truly deserve to be called the peerless genius bestowed upon me by the Ancestral Master. No, even if you said you were the Ancestral Master reincarnated, I would believe you!"

Zhong Fabai's mind went completely blank.

He never imagined that Lin Xuan could break through to the Earth Master level so quickly.

In the past, when spiritual energy was abundant, even those with innate physiques needed a hundred days to establish their foundation.

And now, Lin Xuan has only been at the level of Earth Master for a few days!

"So, there's really no need to ask my senior uncle for health-preserving herbs anymore. I'm a geomancer now, and those herbs are practically useless to me!"

Lin Xuan's words startled Zhong Fabai awake.

Zhong Fabai nodded, "Indeed, how could medicinal herbs less than a hundred years old possibly work for a geomancer!"

"And medicinal herbs that are hundreds of years old are almost impossible to find now; even if you have money, you may not be able to buy them!"

Zhong Fabai handed the cloth bag containing the spirit stones back to Lin Xuan.

"Lin Xuan, you should use these spirit stones yourself. It would be a waste for me to use them! With these spirit stones as an aid, you can quickly increase your cultivation. At your age, you have a very high chance of breaking through to the Celestial Master level in this lifetime!"

"I can't hold you back!"

Zhong Fabai stuffed the spirit stones into Lin Xuan's hand again, leaving Lin Xuan somewhat amused and exasperated.

"Master, you should know that the threshold of becoming a Celestial Master is not something that can stop me. These spirit stones are really not of much use to me!"

5.1

"Since I'm giving it to you, please take it and use it!"

"Only when you break through to the Earth Master level can we have a longer master-disciple relationship!"

The bag contained twenty rank nine spirit stones.

In today's Dharma-ending Age, even a single Grade 9 spirit stone is considered a treasure! Let alone twenty of them!

Some cultivators who have reached the ninth level of the Human Master realm might dare to attempt to break through to the Earth Master realm with just a ninth-grade spirit stone.

Twenty grade nine spirit stones is an enormous fortune in the supernatural world.

However, for Lin Xuan, who had just become rich and gained 80,000 merit points, this was only one-eighth of his current total merit points.

I don't know what to do with it!

If this can help Zhong Fabai break through to the ninth level of the Heavenly Realm, and give him a chance to break through to the Earth Master level in the future, then these 10,000 merit points are well worth it!

After all, if Zhong Fabai hadn't taken him in as a disciple, his system would have remained unawakened for who knows when.

Zhong Fabai was extremely kind to him!

In addition, Zhong Fabai was originally his master.
