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

"Foolish child, why have you gone to such lengths?"

"To debase oneself like this for a little bit of immortal fortune. Even if one obtains immortal fortune, such a mindset will make it difficult to reach the peak."

"However, I am a person of my word; if I say I will forgive, I will definitely forgive. But, young friend Li, let's put you last in the order of your preaching."

Lin Xiu sighed and looked at Li Changqing with a speechless expression.

Some people don't even see themselves as human beings, yet they expect others to treat them as such.

Seeing that Lin Xiu had finally forgiven him, Li Changqing felt relieved and said with his swollen face, "I don't need to reach the peak. Being accepted into the Daoist sect by the immortal master is my greatest honor!"

On Ye Fan's side.

Seeing that Li Changqing had no bottom line, Ye Fan leaned close to Pang Bo's ear and whispered:

“Pang Bo, do you know that people who don’t treat themselves like human beings when they are in a lowly position will not treat others like human beings when they achieve something in the future?”

Pang Bo nodded in agreement: "Yes, Ye Zi, you're right. How can someone who doesn't even respect themselves respect others?"

What Pang Bo despised most was the kind of person who was arrogant at first but obsequious at second!

"Alright, this humble Taoist priest is about to impart the Dharma."

"Young friend Pang, how about you be the first one here?"

As Lin Xiu's voice rang out, Pang Bo instantly broke into an extremely radiant smile:

"Hey! They're here! Pang Bo thanks Master Lin for his kindness!"

.......

Amidst the envious, jealous, and resentful gazes of the group, Pang Bo was the first to approach Lin Xiu.

Lin Xiu coughed lightly and said in a respectful voice:

"When ordinary people transmit the Dharma, the recipient needs to comprehend and cultivate it on their own."

"However, when I transmit the Dharma, I only need blood as a catalyst, which can save me some of the effort of comprehension and cultivation."

"Young friend Pang, stretch out your hand~"

“So that’s how it is. I have the blood of a great demon in my body, so I should have great talent for cultivation. Is that why you sought me out first, Immortal Master Lin?” Pang Bo said, sharing his insights.

“No, that’s not the case.” Lin Xiu shook his head.

"I just think that since you are quite robust, losing a little more blood won't be a big deal."

The Blood-Character Ancient Talisman has the effect of absorbing blood to increase its own level. For the first use, Lin Xiu felt it was better to choose one with high blood volume.

After all, who knows how much blood will be drawn?

Pang Bo's face darkened: "So, Master Lin was attracted to my physique, rather than my talent and bloodline?"

Well, you can't say that.

"Young friend Pang's bloodline is very rich; he is destined for greatness."

"In the future, there will be people who will take a liking to Young Friend Pang's bloodline and talent!"

To be precise, it wasn't just about bloodline and talent; that person also coveted Pang Bo's body.

"In the future?"

"Doesn't Master Lin intend to continue leading our cultivation?" Pang Bo keenly grasped the key point.

"Lead you in your cultivation all along? How is that possible?"

"The master leads you through the door, but the cultivation is up to you. Besides, I can't be considered your master, but only a guide."

"Alright, let's focus on what's at hand first."

Lin Xiu lightly touched Pang Bo's arm with his fingertip, and dozens of drops of blood with hidden azure light slowly emerged from Pang Bo's arm and flew towards the blood-written ancient talisman in Lin Xiu's hand.

The moment the demonic blood fell into the ancient blood-written rune, the rune itself burst forth with a dazzling blood-red light, and the originally floating phantom within the glass-like characters echoed it.

The ancient dragon created by Fu Wen suddenly raised its head, devouring the bloodline laws within Pang Bo's demon blood.

As the last trace of demonic blood was devoured, the ancient rune fell silent. At this moment, the blood-written ancient rune had faded from its dark red color, its entire body resembling a piece of carved jade, containing the universe within, and possessing an eerie and bewitching aura.

[It stopped increasing at 10%...]

Logically speaking, Pang Bo's demon god blood is quite good; it shouldn't only provide a 10% boost to a first-level blood-letter ancient talisman.

In other words, besides the most basic quality of the blood, is it also necessary to consider the spiritual cultivation of the blood donor?

After clarifying the upgrade path of the Blood-Character Ancient Talisman, Lin Xiu released Pang Bo's hand and copied the Daoist rhyme of the "Daoist Scripture Fragment: Wheel Sea Chapter" from the Daoist Rhyme Space.

"Young friend Pang, this is the Daoist essence that you obtained after it was integrated into your blood, the most suitable for you to begin your journey."

"Take these bottles of herbal elixir and go cultivate on your own."

The so-called Daoist rhyme that is most suitable for you to start learning is obviously false. In theory, the Daoist rhyme that Lin Xiu presented is suitable for everyone to start learning.

However, saying that this Daoist charm comes from their own blood makes everyone feel much more relaxed.

"It's...it's that simple."

"It feels like I'm donating blood and getting health supplements."

Pang Bo took the Hundred Herbs Elixir from Lin Xiu, his mood slightly complicated.

"By the way, young friend Pang, the Daoist principles I give you cannot be directly absorbed into the body; they can only be used for comprehension."

"If it enters the body, it will sever the foundation for future cultivation. Remember this well."

Long before Pang Bo, Lin Xiu had used his Daoist aura to help others begin their journey.

However, those who absorbed Lin Xiu's Daoist essence instead of using it for comprehension made no further progress. Unless, Lin Xiu bestowed upon them a higher level of Daoist essence.

"Alright, thank you for your advice, Master Lin."

Pang Bo clasped his hands in thanks and then returned to Ye Fan's side.

......

After Pang Bo, the other students came to Lin Xiu one by one, repeating the process of "donating blood" and "receiving gifts".

Although the blood of the others was not as good as Pang Bo's, perhaps because they were all descendants of Yan and Huang, and had the bloodline of the Great Emperor from countless generations ago, their blood effects were almost the same as Pang Bo's, even though none of them had cultivated.

By the time it was Ye Fan's turn, Lin Xiu's Blood Character Ancient Talisman had already reached 30% of the second level.

Chapter 7 System, you've taken to the winds!

When it was Ye Fan's turn to donate blood, Ye Fan walked up to Lin Xiu:

"Master Lin, may I ask you to tell my fortune like everyone else?"

"Yes, everyone can have their fortune told here."

"What do you want to know, young friend Ye? Do you want to help young friend Pang predict his destiny in the immortal realm?" Lin Xiu asked.

"No, it's not."

Ye Fan had no intention of helping Pang Bo calculate his destiny to immortality. In his view, since he himself had a destiny to immortality, it was the same as Pang Bo having a destiny to immortality, so it would be a waste to have another divination done for him.

"What I want to know is what you said before: that I would become the Heavenly Emperor in the future."

"What exactly does this Heavenly Emperor mean?"

Previously, Ye Fan hadn't taken Lin Xiu's claim that he would become the Heavenly Emperor seriously, dismissing it as a joke. But now, he had to consider the true meaning of those words.

"Young friend Ye, you'll have to find the answer to this question yourself." Lin Xiu didn't give a direct answer; some things are better left ambiguous and vague.

"If young friend Ye can become invincible in this world, he will naturally get the answer."

"If young friend Ye were to pass away prematurely, there would be no need to obtain the answer."

"Young friend Ye, you're asking me this question because you don't want to use your status as the Heavenly Emperor to live off the "old guard of the Heavenly Court," do you?"

"Master Lin, what are you saying? Do you think I, Ye Fan, am the kind of person who likes to live off women?"

Ye Fan looked righteous. He was joking. Had he ever been a kept man since graduating from university?

I wouldn't eat it in the past, and I definitely won't eat it in the future!

Even if Ye Fan were to jump off this coffin pulled by nine dragons, he would never eat a single bite of a woman's rice!

"Whether you eat it or not, I have bad teeth and can only eat soft rice."

Lin Xiu shook his head, saying that Ye Fan was too young and didn't understand the benefits of being a kept man.

Why refuse a free meal offered to him? Since Ye Fan won't take it, he'll take it for him!

Ye Fan! You've really put me in a terrible predicament!

........

"Alright, I'll trouble Master Lin to help me with the answer."

Although Lin Xiu didn't give a direct answer, Ye Fan still thanked him. Because the lack of a direct answer was itself an answer.

A few minutes later, Ye Fan completed the blood donation process and received a gift from Lin Xiu.

As expected of the Ancient Sacred Body, after absorbing the Dao principles in Ye Fan's blood, the Blood Character Ancient Symbol rapidly improved.

【ding~】

[The level of the Blood-Stained Ancient Rune has been increased.]

[Congratulations, host, you have obtained the "Blood" character ancient talisman (Third Heaven). Your Daoist comprehension related to "Blood" within the Four Extremes range has been raised to its highest level.]

"If Ye Fan alone is so effective, what about the other great talents in Beidou?"

Lin Xiu looked into the void, as if he could see the great Burial Emperor Star through the endless starry sky.

Lin Xiu believed that he would definitely make many talented friends in Beidou.

Although, according to the system description, the same Dao principle has limited effect on the improvement of the original ancient characters, Beidou is a wonderful place with outstanding people and resources!

........

After the blood was drawn, Lin Xiu began to explain the profound meaning of the scriptures to everyone.

"The Sea of ​​Bitterness is the sea of ​​tribulations in the cycle of life. If you wish to embark on the path to immortality, the first step is to break through the sea and enter the netherworld."

"If you want to break through the sea and reach the netherworld, you must first open up the sea of ​​suffering. And if you want to open up the sea of ​​suffering, you must first sense the existence of the sea of ​​suffering and the wheel of life."

"This point is also mentioned in the fragments of the Daoist scriptures."
