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

“You’re right. As the Holy Lord of Tianxuan Holy Land, you are indeed qualified to know the details.”

Lin Xiu recounted his actions and realized that he had indeed not been very respectful to Weiwei.

He never considered Weiwei to be a fully capable adult or someone who needed care.

However... as time went by, Lin Xiu realized that Weiwei had grown up and was destined to take over the Tianxuan Holy Land. Under these circumstances, it was indeed not good for him to keep Weiwei from knowing the whole story.

Seeing Lin Xiu make a promise, Weiwei narrowed her eyes slightly and smiled.

Because she felt that Lin Xiu was the kind of person who would definitely keep his promises.

"Okay~ It's a deal!"

"Since the Supreme Holy Lord has made a profound self-criticism, then I, in my capacity as the Holy Lord of Tianxuan Holy Land, will now forgive the Supreme Holy Lord for his past mistakes!"

"Alright, alright~ Thank you for your forgiveness, Holy Lord Tianxuan, is that alright?" Lin Xiu replied somewhat helplessly.

........

"By the way, Supreme Holy Lord, there's something else I feel is amiss," Weiwei pressed her advantage.

"What is it?" Lin Xiu raised an eyebrow.

"Of course, it's about how we address each other!"

"Doesn't the Supreme Holy Lord think that both the title 'Supreme Holy Lord' and the title 'Brother Lin' sound too distant?"

"If we address each other like that when we're out in public, wouldn't it make us seem like we don't know each other well?"

Lin Xiu pondered for a few seconds: "That's true. So, Weiwei, what are your thoughts?"

"I feel that Brother Lin and I have both learned a great deal of scriptures and techniques from Senior Wei Yi. In that case, shall we address each other as fellow disciples?"

"Weiwei... Junior Sister?" Lin Xiu called out tentatively and found that the address actually seemed quite nice. After reading so many cultivation novels, who wouldn't want a quirky and clever junior sister?

"Hmm~ Junior Sister greets Senior Brother Lin!"

Weiwei clasped her hands together, also liking the title of "senior brother".

Only this title made her feel at ease, and it made her feel that Lin Xiu wouldn't leave her or the Tianxuan Holy Land one day. She was happy to be called "Junior Sister" by Lin Xiu, and also happy that Lin Xiu was willing to address her that way.

This means that Lin Xiu had absolutely no intention of settling them in and then leaving.

.......

With Weiwei's matter temporarily settled, the question of Jiang Taixu's future finally came down.

After some discussion, Jiang Taixu agreed with Lin Xiu. Compared to Lin Xiu's plan, the Jiang family's troublemaking was a trivial matter. In the end, he stayed at Tianxuan Stone Workshop.

However, he felt too embarrassed to live in the inner courtyard, so he volunteered to move to the outer courtyard to keep watch over Tianxuan Stone Workshop and prevent any petty thieves from disturbing them. If any of them were members of the Jiang family or anyone connected to the Jiang family, he could apprehend them on the spot.

Jiang Caixuan originally wanted to return to the Jiang family to report on the situation of the God King Ancestor, but at Jiang Taixu's request, she also stayed in the outer courtyard of Tianxuan Stone Workshop to oversee the business with Jiang Taixu.

.......

Time passed by like this for a while.

During this time, Lin Xiu focused on his cultivation, while Ye Fan worked hard outside; both of them had bright futures ahead of them.

Lin Xiu's strength had reached the peak of the third stage of the Dragon Transformation realm, and he could advance at any moment. Ye Fan, meanwhile, roamed around the stone stronghold, decimating the bandits and rapidly gaining combat experience. He even... brought back a great treasure for Jiang Taixu.

When Jiang Taixu saw the "Divine Furnace of Departing Fire" that Ye Fan brought back, he immediately stood up.

Damn! What do you mean by a quasi-Emperor weapon being lost in a small sect that doesn't even have four top-tier experts? Does that mean... the stories in ancient books about finding Emperor weapons on the street aren't impossible?

"Young friend Lin, as one of my humble compensations, I intend to entrust the Divine Furnace of Departing Fire to Tingting for use, to protect her until she attains enlightenment. What do you think?"

Lin Xiu nodded in acceptance.

The Fire Furnace is extremely yang and strong. Although it seems to conflict with Jiang Tingting's yin body, the principle of yang giving rise to yin is mentioned in the Hengyu Jing Sendai chapter.

Using the Li Huo Divine Furnace to assist the Taiyin Body in cultivation is indeed an excellent choice.

Originally, Lin Xiu was unaware of the Sendai chapter of the Hengyu Sutra.

However, recently Jiang Taixu has been teaching Jiang Tingting cultivation. During the teaching, he accidentally learned from Jiang Tingting that Lin Xiu was collecting powerful imperial scriptures, and it seemed that the more powerful the imperial scripture, the more beneficial it would be to his cultivation.

In gratitude for Lin Xiu's life-saving grace, Jiang Taixu, on the condition that Lin Xiu promise not to reveal the secrets, imparted to him all the scriptures of the Hengyu Emperor Scripture, except for the forbidden chapters.

This is also a conventional custom when transmitting scriptures.

The major imperial clans would occasionally pass on imperial scriptures to outsiders, but most would not pass on forbidden chapters, and would require the recipients not to pass them on.

......

The reason Lin Xiu stayed in Tianxuan Stone Workshop was because... he was waiting for someone.

That person was a genius among geniuses, a legendary emperor.

The eldest brother-in-law, the Great Emperor Ji Haoyue.

After spending some time in the Tianxuan Holy Land, Lin Xiu received news of Ji Haoyue as expected.

"Have you heard? The Ji family's divine body has emerged from seclusion!"

"Of course I've heard about it! I've been waiting for her duel with the demon princess Yan Ruyu for ages!"

"Someone has already spotted the descendants of the Azure Emperor active in cities near the Holy City. I've heard that Ji Haoyue is searching around the Holy City, determined to find the descendants of the Azure Emperor!"

Upon receiving Ji Haoyue's message, Lin Xiu immediately got up and summoned Ye Fan, who was far away in Shizhai.

Chapter 145 Ye Fan, go and snatch the Void Mirror from me (First Update)

"Little Leaf, now, you have two options in front of you."

"Completing any one of these tasks will earn you 10000 contribution points, enough to exchange for the Battle Saint Technique you didn't finish learning last time. How about it, are you interested?"

"interested in!"

Ye Fan replied immediately.

When he last went to Purple Mountain, he hadn't finished learning the Battle Saint Technique when Jiang Taixu was teleported away by Lin Xiu, leaving him feeling very uncomfortable and stuck in the middle.

Although he received the Hengyu Emperor Scripture and some contribution points as a reward from Jiang Taixu for handing over the Li Huo Divine Furnace, he used them all to exchange for the Qing Emperor's Emperor Scripture. The remaining contribution points were not enough to exchange for the Dou Zi Secret.

The thought of earning so many contribution points from a single field mission immediately excited Ye Fan.

"President Lin! Give the order! Which imperial tomb should I attack?"

"Even if Master Duan dies inside, I will absolutely complete your mission!"

As he spoke, Ye Fan gestured with his fist, indicating that he was ready to throw six punches per second at any time.

"Thump!~"

Lin Xiu was quite impolite and flicked Ye Fan's forehead with his fist.

Although Ye Fan's physical body was top-notch, it was still far weaker than his. He was directly knocked to the ground and jumped up, grimacing for a while.

"Alright, stop fooling around. We have two important things to do this time. You choose one."

"Okay! No problem!"

"By the way, Holy Lord, if I choose both, can I get 20,000 contribution points?"

Ye Fan is very ambitious and plans to earn as much as he can.

"of course can."

"Actually, it's not that difficult."

"Little Yezi, all you need to do is first seize the Void Mirror from the Ji family, then conquer the Bronze Immortal Palace and bring out what I need from it. That will earn you 20,000 contribution points."

"what?"

Ye Fan wondered if he had misheard.

Let him seize the Imperial Weapon? And let him conquer the Bronze Immortal Palace?

Why not let him directly attack the Great Emperor? The success rate would be higher that way. Putting aside the other Great Emperors, as long as he can deal with Duan De's semi-emperor weapon, Ye Fan is confident that he can suppress the Underworld Emperor.

......

Lin Xiu shook his head, quite disappointed with Ye Fan's reluctance to face difficulties.

They don't even dare to seize an imperial weapon, yet they dare to call themselves a prodigy?

"Little Leaf, have you ever heard of the appearance of an emperor?"

"Of course I've heard of that." Ye Fan stood tall and proud, exuding the aura of a future Heavenly Emperor!

"Okay, it's good that you've heard about it."

"Right now, a prodigy of the Four Extremes with the potential to become an emperor is thinking about how to seize the Azure Lotus Emperor Weapon."

"You bear the destiny of the Heavenly Emperor, so why can't you just think about seizing an imperial weapon from the Dao Palace Secret Realm?"

Ye Fan: "......."

If he had that kind of ability, would he need to work for Lin Xiu? He would have become his own boss long ago!

Now Ye Fan understood why Lin Xiu had asked him to choose one.

After all that, it turns out Lin Xiu had already arranged everything for him; letting him choose was just a formality.

“Um, Holy Lord, I think the Bronze Immortal Palace is quite good.”

"Yes, it's decided! The Bronze Immortal Palace! I will definitely win the treasures within the Bronze Immortal Palace for the Holy Lord!"

Ye Fan had certainly heard about the dangers of the Bronze Immortal Palace, but he had more faith in his own abilities.

Now, he has not only been to the Desolate Ancient Holy Land, the Tomb of the Azure Emperor, and Purple Mountain, but he has also met the Azure Emperor, beaten up the Underworld Emperor, bought candied hawthorns for Nannan, and even extorted money from Lin Xiu!

After doing so many things, isn't he still alive and well?

He has nothing left to fear!

With the destiny of the Heavenly Emperor bestowed upon me, what is there to fear? If you're not convinced, then let's fight!

.......

"Excellent! You truly deserve to be my number one general!"

"Your holy son is young; you must encourage him greatly!"

Lin Xiu patted Ye Fan on the shoulder, dangling a huge carrot in front of him.

Ye Fan: ".........Understood!"
