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

"That's right! It's you!"

"Junior Sister, let me ask you, does studying music theory help your cultivation?" Lin Xiu asked, frowning.

“This… I have mastered the Tribulation-Crossing Immortal Melody, so cultivating music theory naturally helps my enlightenment.”

Although Xia Jiuyou was a little unaccustomed to Lin Xiu calling her "Junior Sister," she still answered truthfully.

"Isn't that right?"

"I happen to have a talent for music theory, and I can give you some guidance."

"So... Junior Sister, why don't you just come with Weiwei?"

"what?"

Xia Jiuyou was even more confused; how did this get involved with her?

Are you going? Or not?

However, she still preferred to stay by Gai Jiuyou's side rather than go to Lin Xiu's place.

Who is Gai Jiuyou? Xia Jiuyou's eyes darted around, and Gai Jiuyou knew what she was thinking. He immediately coughed strategically and said:

"Ahem... You'er, you should go now."

"I'm going into seclusion for a while and won't be able to guide you as often as I need to."

“Your senior brother has a profound understanding of the Nine Netherworld Scripture, far surpassing yours. While I am in seclusion, your senior brother can temporarily assume the role of master. You can ask him for guidance on anything you don’t understand.”

"Right, Lin boy?"

Lin Xiu and Gai Jiuyou exchanged a glance and smiled knowingly:

"No problem, I will definitely train my junior sister to become a young supreme being who is no less than Elder Gai."

"If the opportunity arises, the three of us can even play the Tribulation-Crossing Immortal Melody together!"

Gai Jiuyou is a veteran among veterans, and Lin Xiu had long ago added him to his band's complete roster.

As for Xia Jiuyou... well, for now, he can only be considered Gai Jiuyou's substitute. After all, Gai Jiuyou, as a supreme being, cannot be free all the time. When Gai Jiuyou is unavailable, Xia Jiuyou is the necessary "Jiuyou Body" position.

"Great! I look forward to that day!"

Gai Jiuyou's old face was beaming with joy. Old people like him really enjoy playing with their grandchildren and doing things they like.

Since Gai Jiuyou had already said so, Xia Jiuyou naturally had nothing to say. She wrinkled her delicate nose and prepared to agree.

Just then, a very familiar female voice came from beside her.

“In that case, Weiwei is also willing to learn with her junior sister. Then... we can play together as a group of four, or even five.”

Upon hearing that Xia Jiuyou wanted to join as well, Weiwei immediately agreed, and even pulled Xiaonannan along, making it seem like they were going to form a five-person band.

"Yes! Nannan wants to play and sing with Brother Lin Xiu!"

The little girl waved her tiny fists, her eyes full of anticipation for the future.

Seeing this, Xia Jiuyou felt somewhat uncomfortable, but she couldn't quite put her finger on what was wrong. She could only furrow her brows and hesitate to speak.

"I........."

"Please give me your guidance, senior brother."

In the end, Xia Jiuyou didn't say anything, but simply asked Lin Xiu for more guidance.

.......

One hour later.

After some further exchange and discussion, Gai Jiuyou got up and prepared to go to his secluded retreat.

"I entrust the safety of my two disciples to you, fellow Daoist."

On their parting, Gai Jiuyou and Wei Yi exchanged words.

Wei Yi was a great sage who achieved greatness during a difficult era. Gai Jiuyou greatly recognized his talent and believed that he had the potential to become a peak quasi-emperor, so he discussed the Dao with him as a peer.

"Don't worry, fellow Daoist, I cherish my own Holy Lord far more than you do."

Wei Yi extended his aged, bark-like hand and shook hands with Gai Jiuyou. He was quite impressed to have met such a legendary figure as Gai Jiuyou.

Of course, what he was even more amazed by was the incredible power of his own Holy Lord.

He casually went out and managed to seduce two female cultivators willing to bear his children. Although it was later clarified that it was a misunderstanding, this achievement is absolutely incredible! ... I must say, this guy is like me!

"Young Lin, if you encounter any danger, remember to activate the emergency procedures I taught you, don't hesitate."

Before parting, Gai Jiuyou gave special instructions.

"Don't worry, Elder Gai, I'm still waiting to take care of you in your old age~ How could I possibly leave you first?"

"But Elder Gai, remember to return soon. I'm still waiting to use my status as the disciple of the Supreme Being of this era to live the life of a spoiled brat!"

Gai Jiuyou: "......."

"Hahaha~ Lin boy, you dare to say that!"

Gai Jiuyou really didn't believe that Lin Xiu could become a spoiled brat.

Others might not be able to tell, but how could he not? Back when he was sweeping Lin Xiu's Dao injury, he also swept up some other things.

A virgin, still full of virginity, tells him he wants to become a playboy.

If Xia Jiuyou's belly had really been big when she first met Lin Xiu, he might have believed it to some extent.

But now?

Hmm... Gai Jiuyou felt that instead of worrying about whether Lin Xiu would become a spoiled brat, she should think about whether Xia Jiuyou would be completely dominated by Weiwei.

Lin Xiu: "......"

Lin Xiu felt that Gai Jiuyou underestimated him too much and that it was necessary to change his image in Gai Jiuyou's mind.

He is averse to women because he awakened his past life memories during high school and knew that he was in the world of "Covering the Sky".

Considering the dangers of the world of "Covering the Sky" and the fact that he was going to Beidou in the future, it was not advisable to get too involved on Earth, which is why he did not actively seek pleasure.

Besides, this is a world of immortals and heroes. What if he obtains a dual cultivation technique in the future that requires primordial yang to be effective?

result......

Hey!

He actually got it, how should I put it?

With the perfect combination of desire and enlightenment, coupled with the sudden enlightenment he experienced upon returning to his Dao Fruit state, Lin Xiu is now a completely different person from before!

In short, let's find an opportunity to go back to Lingxu Cave Heaven with Weiwei first? And see her master there?

......

"Master Gai, please accept this piece of music."

"Perhaps it will help you live to the next life."

Before Gai Jiuyou left, Lin Xiu gave him the "Nine Netherworld Crossing Immortal Melody" as a system reward.

Besides him, Gai Jiuyou is the most likely person in the world to play this celestial melody.

"Ok?"

"........."

"Um?!"

After investigating, Gai Jiuyou almost stumbled and fell to the ground.

Holy crap! What the hell is that?

How could Lin Xiu possibly produce such an item?

Could it be... that Lin Xiu is some kind of ancient monster reincarnated? Is he actually older than me?!

......

"If I told you that I deduced this using some strange method, would you believe me?"

Lin Xiu raised his hand, and the Daoist rhyme of the Nine Dragons Pulling the Coffin Immortal Scripture "Completing the Myriad Daos" appeared in his palm, causing Gai Jiuyou to widen his old eyes once again.

Gai Jiuyou: "......."

"The Yangtze River's back waves push the front waves forward, while the front waves die on the beach."

"You'er, you must stay by your senior brother's side and study hard."

"Huh?........Oh."

Although Xia Jiuyou didn't understand what Lin Xiu had specifically given, since Gai Jiuyou had said so, she only needed to agree.

"Ah~"

Gai Jiuyou sighed, feeling that Lin Xiu was far too wealthy and that he owed Lin Xiu too much.

Sacred fruits, mortal laws, immortal melodies... Lin Xiu, this junior, is simply too rich! Richer than even the supreme ruler of this world!

He felt truly indebted for merely offering Lin Xiu the status of a disciple and a promise to protect him.

......

Just then... a crane's cry suddenly came from the sky.

"Wow!"

A clear, melodious crane cry ripped through the sky.

Accompanied by the cry of the crane, a white light came from the north and instantly descended upon the holy city.

Upon closer inspection, it was a white crane enveloped in celestial light.

Most importantly... his wings spread out, exuding a holy aura!

Clearly, he is a saint of our time!

"This is the place that Wang Teng's soul lamp pointed to."

The crane spoke in human language, flapped its wings, and its gaze, sharp as a sword, pierced straight at Lin Xiu.

“If I’m not mistaken… you possess the aura of the Chaotic Ancient Emperor’s legacy.”
