A man from the Big Dipper, starting his charlatanship at Mount Tai.

Ye Fan gripped the jade slip in his hand tightly. Ever since he obtained this jade slip from Lin Xiu, he felt as if he were surrounded by spiritual energy, and his body felt lighter.

"I see~"

After getting the answer from Ye Fan, Pang Bo no longer hesitated and ran towards Lin Xiu.

"Master Lin! I also wish to ask you for some guidance!"

........

Seeing that everyone's trust in him had increased considerably, Lin Xiu waved his whisk and laughed heartily:

"Alright, alright! Little Sunflower Mom's Classroom, let's begin!"

"I, this humble Taoist, will shorten my lifespan today, defying the will of Heaven, and defying fate for all of you!"

In order to convince everyone that he had met the minimum requirements for triggering the system reward, Lin Xiu took out the Heavenly Evolution Abacus.

The abacus beads shimmered and automatically returned to their positions, exuding a sophisticated air. With this celestial abacus in hand, Lin Xiu's words were indeed not unfounded.

The first person to approach Lin Xiu was a female classmate named Lin Jia.

Lin Jia: "Lin Xiu, do you think I have a destiny with immortals?"

"The deep forest hides spring, a beautiful place untouched by dust. Suddenly, a bluebird arrives, a sign that it is my own deity. A predestined connection with the immortals!"

Liu Yunzhi: "Master Lin, can you take a look at mine?"

"No one will support my lofty ambitions; I will tread through the snow to reach the mountain peak myself. You too have a destiny to become an immortal!"

Li Changqing: "What about me? What about me?"

"The Nine-Turn Elixir is completed, bringing spring to the plum tree; the sun and moon within the gourd remain evergreen. A predestined connection to immortality!"

Liu Yiyi: "Master Lin, could you please take a look at mine?"

"Where the willows once swayed gently, now we glimpse their true, verdant form. You too surely possess a destiny to be among the immortals~"

Li Xiaoman: "Master Lin, could you please take a look at mine?"

"Under the plum tree, I listened to the true words, and gracefully entered the vast emptiness. Mount Sumeru is contained within a mustard seed; within this lies the celestial path. There is a predestined connection to immortality!"

Li Xiaoman: "Could you take another look at Kaide's? He's a foreigner. Can a foreigner's name be counted?"

Lin Xiu: "......"

"Count, you can calculate, you can calculate!"

........

By the time Pang Bo arrived, Lin Xiu had already tested most of his companions.

Pang Bo: "Master Lin, I would like to ask you to help Ye Fan determine his destiny with immortality."

Unlike the others, Pang Bo gave up his chance to be guided by the immortals to Ye Fan.

"Oh? You chose to test someone else instead of yourself?"

"Very well, given your pure and sincere heart, I shall spare you a moment to explain."

Lin Xiu held the Heavenly Evolution Abacus in his hand. The jade-like beads on the abacus kept jumping, and in the end, the abacus itself even seemed to be about to fall apart.

A dozen seconds later, Lin Xiu silently put away the Heavenly Evolution Abacus, coughed, and said:

"Ye Fan means Ye Fan."

"I casually visited a mortal amidst the clouds, my crane-feather cloak tinged with pine smoke. I pointed out to the lost traveler that an empty mind is the path to immortality."

"Only immortals have the right to say that they have descended to the mortal world."

"Young friend Pang, you should know the saying that people who are destined for great wealth and honor need to be given a humble name when they are young to avoid early misfortune, right?"

"That's exactly the case with Young Friend Ye. It's precisely because he has too much affinity for immortality that he needs to be given the name 'Fan' to suppress his life and prevent him from dying young."

Ye Fan nodded as if he understood, then looked at Lin Xiu curiously:

"I see. Then why is your name Lin Xiu, Master Lin?"

"Why the name 'Xiu'? Of course, it's because I'm lazy by nature and need to cultivate more~" Lin Xiu sighed.

It couldn't be that he named himself Lin Xiu because he needed to fix the system, could it?

.......

When Lin Xiu said that everyone has a destiny to become an immortal, Li Changqing finally couldn't hold back anymore.

"No... Master Lin, you're not kidding us, are you? Is this chance for immortality really that cheap? Everyone gets it?"

Before Lin Xiu could even reply, someone else had already done so on his behalf.

"Li Changqing, are you deaf? Didn't you pay attention in class? Didn't Master Lin say that those who step onto the Nine Dragons Pulling the Coffin are destined for immortality? If that's the case, what's so strange about everyone having a destiny for immortality?" Pang Bo was tall and strong. Although his voice was a little hoarse, it had returned to its "loud and clear" state after drinking a few sips of water.

"Actually, that's not necessarily true," Lin Xiu added with a smile.

"what?"

Pang Bo was taken aback: "Master Lin, can one's destiny in the immortal realm be changed?"

"Of course, a person's fate can be changed, let alone a destiny with immortals?"

After speaking, Lin Xiu turned to look at Li Changqing.

"Young friend Li, are you aware that because of your words just now, more than 90% of your potential for immortality has been diminished?"

"what?"

"Why?" Li Changqing asked anxiously.

Although it sounds a bit far-fetched that everyone has a connection to the immortals, it's still better than everyone else having one while he's the only one without.

"why?"

"Because I originally intended to spread the Dharma to all beings and guide you all to enter the Daoist path for the first time, and young friend Li was naturally among them."

"However, since young friend Li thinks that I am deceiving everyone, then I will naturally not pass on my teachings to someone who does not trust me."

At this moment, Lin Xiu revealed his true purpose.

Fortune telling and having a connection with the divine are all just ways to increase people's trust in you, so that you can reach the standard that triggers the system's rewards.

Q: When is a loosely organized small group most united?

A: When this small group has a unified enemy.

Li Changqing, the male classmate who often courted death in the original story, was the target that Lin Xiu set up for everyone.

"Hiss~ Master Lin intends to preach to everyone?"

"of course."

“In the mythological era, Daoist masters emerged one after another because those who cultivated the Dao at that time did not hoard their knowledge. As a Daoist myself, I am naturally enthusiastic about spreading the Dao and teaching others.”

"Can ordinary people like us cultivate immortality?"

"Of course, my lifelong wish is for everyone in the world to be like a dragon."

“Master Lin, it’s Li Changqing’s loss that he doesn’t believe you! I’m different from him; I believed from the very beginning that what you said was true!”

"Master! I want to learn how to cultivate immortality!"

"Me too!"

"Me too!"

"Me too!"

.......

Seeing his classmates all standing on Lin Xiu's side, Li Changqing trembled violently, forcing out the best possible smile:

"Um, Master Lin, is it too late for me to say I believe you now?"

Hey~ Can we reconcile?

Seeing Li Changqing's reaction, all the classmates looked at him with disdain.

Reconciliation? The crime of disrespecting the Immortal Master cannot be easily resolved.

Even if Master Lin agreed, his loyal followers would never agree!

However, the next second, Lin Xiu replied:

"Of course. To err is human, to forgive divine."

“If even the wounds of the Great Dao can be healed, what contradictions cannot be reconciled? Young friend Li, don’t you agree?”

Lin Xiu's words left everyone somewhat bewildered.

You were the one who said you wanted to cut off the immortal's affinity, and you were also the one who said you wanted to forgive them. You said both good and bad things.

However, with Li Changqing's example before them, no one dared to voice their doubts, even if they had some. The only principle was to trust Master Lin!

loyalty!

Unlike Li Changqing, they all had boundless loyalty to Master Lin!

"Master Lin truly lives up to his reputation as a great enlightened being; his magnanimity is truly boundless!"

"The immortal master is magnanimous and can tolerate Li Changqing's slight offense."

"Master Lin, I admire you greatly!"

Thanks to Lin Xiu's actions, everyone's trust in him increased dramatically, and Lin Xiu kept hearing notifications that his favorability rating had been met.

【ding~】

[The favorability ratings for special characters such as "Lin Jia," "Liu Yiyi," "Wang Ziwen," and "Zhou Yi" have reached 60 points, meeting the criteria for a change in destiny.]

......

Seeing that Lin Xiu seemed to intend to forgive him, Li Changqing was also very excited: "Yes, yes, yes! I was rude just now, and I know I was wrong! I will apologize to Immortal Master Lin right away!"

With that, Li Changqing hardened his heart and raised his hand to slap himself across the face.

"Slap! Slap! Slap! Slap!..."

The sound of the slap echoed within the giant bronze coffin, sounding exceptionally jarring.

"Okay, stop now."
