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

The "advanced cultivators" here do not refer to quasi-emperors or great emperors, but rather to people of the same generation.

Among his peers, those who are closer to the Dao than lower-level cultivators and replicate it more completely than higher-level cultivators are already the most suitable choice after weighing the pros and cons.

"It's decided! I'll first use the Sacred Body to advance to the ninth level of Quasi-Emperor, and then switch to cultivating the Chaotic Body to prove my Dao!"

......

For ordinary people, switching to a new job is an extremely time-consuming process.

However, what Lin Xiu has in abundance is time to comprehend the Great Dao!

To comprehend the Great Dao? Why is it necessary to comprehend the Great Dao?

Simply copy it, and then evolve it using the Daoist space—isn't that your own Great Dao?

It's still a road leading to heaven!

"However, I can still gnaw on Ye Fan to get rid of the Sacred Body, but who am I supposed to gnaw on to get rid of the Chaotic Body?"

"Yaoguang? Wang Bo? Or Da Nannan?"

"No, Da Nannan is most likely no longer a Chaos Being."

"Anyway, since we can't find anyone else, let's settle on Yao Guang for now~"

"The Holy Son of Yao Guang is a bit lacking, but it's better than nothing, right?"

"Where can you still find greenhouse-grown melons these days? We're lucky to have a raw melon like Yao Guang Sheng Zi to eat."

Lin Xiu never considered himself a cultivation prodigy. The results of his personal efforts were probably not as good as those achieved by directly copying the Great Dao of others.

Of course, saying that Lin restored others' great paths is not entirely accurate.

The Daoist rhythms that Lin Xiu could recreate were all perfectly suited to Lin Xiu's personal Daoist rhythms.

If the conversion rate of the copy is low, it only means that the person being copied is weak and doesn't work hard enough in their cultivation, and can't even get close to the "path".

.......

Having decided on the future path of "eating people," Lin Xiu was in high spirits and opened his eyes again.

At this moment, everyone was gathered around Lin Xiu.

"Master Lin, what's wrong? Why did you suddenly vomit blood?"

"Master Lin, why is most of the blood you vomited golden?"

"Master Lin, were you seriously injured while fighting those black monsters?"

In everyone's eyes, Lin Xiu's behavior just now was that he suddenly stopped and began to cultivate, and while cultivating, he vomited blood. After finishing his cultivation, his face was pale, and it was clear that he did not have much time left.

Could it be that Master Lin has a hidden ailment? Is the reason he is unwilling to let them follow him because his days are numbered?

It's possible! Absolutely possible!

In an instant, the image of a wise man who didn't have much time left but still wanted to preach to the world came into everyone's minds, and some of the more sentimental female students were moved to tears.

Lin Xiu wiped the crimson-gold blood from the corner of his mouth and looked at everyone:

"It's nothing, just a slight damage to the source, but it has now fully recovered."

"I intend to continue my cultivation. You may leave now."

Before I depart, I have one more thing to give you.

Lin Xiu slightly raised his hand, and dozens of Daoist auras from the Hundred Herbs Liquid flew out from his sleeve and landed precisely in everyone's hands.

Lin Xiu has never been a stingy person. Considering that he has already gained more benefits from these people through the Blood Letter Ancient Talisman than before, he doesn't mind giving back a little more.

"It's just a few bottles of herbal elixir. Don't blame me for being stingy. Possessing such a treasure when you're weak will only bring you trouble."

Lin Xiu knew that the cultivators who guided everyone in the original story were not very powerful, so killing a novice cultivator for a few kilograms of source energy would be too easy for them.

........

"Waaaaah~ Immortal Master Lin, we can't bear to part with you!" Holding the Herbal Elixir given to her by Lin Xiu, Liu Yiyi burst into tears.

Not only the female students, but many male students were also deeply moved.

First, he vomited blood, and then he gave her a gift on his way out... What does this mean?

Everyone could arrive at the answer without even thinking!

“Master Lin, you have so selflessly guided us on the path of cultivation, how could we possibly think you are stingy?”

"Master Lin, are you lying to us? Are you nearing the end of your life and planning to bury yourself in this beautiful place?"

"Master Lin, can you tell us how much time you have left?"

"Master Lin, is there any magical artifact that can save your life? I will risk my life to find it for you!"

Lin Xiu: "......"

Lin Xiu's lips twitched slightly. He hadn't expected that in everyone's mind, he was already a dying man.

Damn it! Let whoever wants to die die, don't curse him!

"My dear friends, this humble Taoist priest has many more years to live!"

"Alright, don't be so sad anymore. Let's hurry away along this mountain path."

After showing everyone the way down the mountain, Lin Xiu resumed his cultivation.

The crowd looked at each other in bewilderment. Some sighed and took the Herbal Elixir to embark on their cultivation journey, while others remained unwilling to leave, staying by Lin Xiu's side as if to witness his final moments.

.......

As for Lin Xiu, he ignored the crying beside him and once again began cultivating the Devouring Heaven Demon Art with the help of the Blood-Character Ancient Talisman.

In the following time, Lin Xiu replicated dozens of other origins based on the blood left behind by everyone.

For example: the origin of the sacred body, the origins of different types of mortal bodies, the rare origin of the Great Emperor Hengyu, the rare origin of the Great Emperor Xukong, the rare origin of the Human Emperor Fuxi, the rare origin of the Great Emperor Jiuli, and so on...

After an unknown amount of time, suddenly, an extremely sorrowful male voice came from afar.

"Master Lin! How could you die like this! I wanted to take care of you in your old age and see you off in your final days!"

Lin Xiu: "......"

Lin Xiu opened his eyes with a dark expression and looked toward the direction from which the sound came. He immediately saw Pang Bo running away in tears.

When Pang Bo saw Lin Xiu wake up, he quickly stopped in his tracks, looking as if he had seen a ghost.

"Master Lin! You're not dead yet!"

Pang Bo genuinely believed that Lin Xiu was dead. If he wasn't dead, why were those female classmates crying around him?

Seeing that Lin Xiu was still alive, Pang Bo breathed a sigh of relief and held back his tears.

Lin Xiu sat up from the ground and glanced at Pang Bo's back with some surprise.

What he saw was not Pang Bo, but something he sensed behind Pang Bo when Pang Bo and Ye Fan returned.

That fleeting, chilling feeling just now...

Could it be... the "Great Accomplished Sacred Body Divine Thought" that he has been searching for for so long without finding it?

[The sheep talisman enhances my perception of the soul; divine sense should also fall into this category.]

Even before I descended upon the desolate forbidden land, I had already attempted to search for the divine sense of a Great Perfection Holy Body.

But after searching for so long, I still felt no connection to him, which shows he's been actively avoiding me.

[If that's the case, why did he just give himself away?]

Lin Xiu quickly came to a conclusion.

Firstly, it's because of Pang Bo!

Secondly, it's because of the ancient symbol for the character "魂" (soul)!

[Compared to my stronger self, the divine sense of the Great Perfection Sacred Body would definitely favor Ye Fan, who is weaker and easier to possess.]

Therefore, after leaving the bronze coffin, the divine sense of the Great Accomplished Holy Body should have maintained a safe distance from me.

After Ye Fan received the task of picking the sacred fruit from me, the divine sense of the Great Perfection Sacred Body followed Ye Fan.

[The situation just now should be that the Great Accomplished Holy Body's divine sense heard Pang Bo say that I was dead, and excitedly went forward to collect the body.]

[Only when he got very close to me did he realize that my life force was still strong. So he immediately pulled away again and hid.]

Okay, let me lure the snake out of its hole!

[Perfect timing! I've collected techniques for faking serious injury on Earth, so I might as well use them this time.]

[Having many skills is never a bad thing; this saying is certainly true!]

[The Dao of Sorrow is activated!]

The Dao Sorrow Technique is one of the "pretending to be seriously injured" techniques that Lin Xiu learned on Earth. At the time, Lin Xiu felt that this technique was very much in line with the style of the Shrouding the Heavens world, so he spent a lot of money to buy it.

........

Having made up his mind, Lin Xiu stood up shakily from where he stood.

"Young friends Pang and Ye, it seems you have done a good job in completing the task I assigned you."

"Phew~ Master Lin, it's good that you're alright."

Ye Fan breathed a sigh of relief and handed the jade bottle back to Lin Xiu.

"Master Lin, I sensed a powerful life force in the divine spring and the sacred fruit. You asked us to pick the sacred fruit, surely to resolve your health issues?"

At this moment, Ye Fan finally understood why Lin Xiu hadn't gone to pick the sacred fruit himself, but insisted that he go instead. It turned out that his physical condition had deteriorated to this extent!

Despite having such a broken body, why does she still open up a sea of ​​suffering for everyone, and why does she still desperately suppress the beast tide?

Damn it! Master Lin, you bastard! Is this how you care about everyone?!

"That's right, that's absolutely true."

"I have been physically weak since childhood. Only by consuming rare and precious herbs, such as immortality pills or nine-turn elixirs, can I achieve health and longevity."

"If you have any extras in the future, young friend Ye, you can give them to me as snacks."

Lin Xiu smiled calmly and took the jade bottle from Ye Fan's hand.

"Master Lin, as you instructed, I have picked three of each kind of sacred fruit for you, and the divine spring has also filled the magical artifacts. However, to my surprise, the storage space of your spatial magical artifacts does not seem to be very large."
