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

Upon hearing Ye Fan say that he had a predestined connection with immortality, Lin Xiu's expression became somewhat subtle:

"A predestined affinity with immortality? Um... Young friend Ye certainly has a strong affinity with immortality. Perhaps, young friend Ye is the person on the entire Earth most destined for this method."

"Hearing what Master Lin says, could it be that our meeting today was destined?" Ye Fan's smile grew even brighter.

“Destiny? ...Indeed.”

"Alright, young friend Ye, since your words are almost pleading, then this humble Taoist will settle this karmic debt with you."

......

"Ye Fan thanks Immortal Master Lin for imparting his teachings! If I am fortunate enough to attain immortality in the future, I will surely repay this kindness!"

Ye Fan was deeply moved, feeling that he could never repay Master Lin's kindness.

The only reason an ordinary person could receive compensation from a cultivator is because the cultivator is kind-hearted.

Master Lin is truly the greatest philanthropist in the universe!

"What's this talk about repaying a debt of gratitude? If you cause trouble in the future, just don't mention it to me," Lin Xiu said, waving the sleeve of his Taoist robe.

"Hmm? Why does this sentence sound so familiar?"

Now I remember, isn't this what Patriarch Bodhi said to Sun Wukong?

"Master Lin... do you intend to teach me the Somersault Cloud and the Seventy-Two Transformations?"

Ye Fan was momentarily dazed. Could it be... that he was the reincarnation of Sun Wukong? No wonder Master Lin had asked him to protect Tang Sanzang on his journey to the West!

"No, no."

"This technique was created by the strongest female immortal since the creation of this world, and it is not some kind of seventy-two transformations."

"Today, I have decided to pass on this secret technique to you, thus settling the karmic debts between us."

If we're really going to count, Lin Xiu obtained the "Fragment of the Myriad Transformations Sacred Technique" from the Ruthless Great Emperor before even reaching the Big Dipper, so he can be considered a descendant of the Ruthless Great Emperor's branch.

"Ah? Created by a female immortal? Immortal Master Lin, could you exchange it for another immortal technique?"

"How can a grown man learn the moves of a female immortal?" Ye Fan didn't want people to gossip about him later, saying that he was using a woman's moves.

"Ok?"

Are you going to learn or not?

Seeing that Ye Fan was still not satisfied, Lin Xiu glared at him.

How dare you! You look down on a young woman like me? Do you still want to live off a woman?

"Learn! Of course we should learn!"

Ye Fan replied hastily.

So what if she's a female immortal? A female immortal is still an immortal!

Ye Fan believed that with his masculine spirit, he could make even the moves of a female immortal look incredibly powerful.

.......

"By the way, young friend Ye, there is a saying that the law should not be easily passed on, the way should not be sold cheaply, medicine should not be given to someone who knocks on your door, a master should not be taken out of the way, and one should not pass on a thousand pieces of gold to an unfilial son."

"The ancients were all like this, and I, of course, am no exception."

"Young friend Ye, do you have anything to demonstrate your sincerity?" Lin Xiu rubbed his fingers together, hinting at his intention.

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

Ye Fan was completely numb.

He thought it was free, as compensation from Lin Xiu for damaging his Mercedes-Benz, but it turns out he still wants money?

So tacky! Absolutely tacky! Utterly vulgar!

Chapter 4 Lin Xiu felt that he had grasped the future.

Facing Ye Fan's miserable expression, Lin Xiu's smile remained unchanged:

"That's right, young friend Ye, you do indeed have a destiny to become an immortal, which is why I am willing to impart my teachings. Otherwise, I wouldn't even be tempted to do so. Do you understand?"

“I understand. But I really can’t think of anything I have that could satisfy you, Master.”

Ye Fan only regretted that he wasn't Tang Sanzang. If he were Tang Sanzang, he could use the golden alms bowl to smash open a path to enlightenment.

“Young friend Ye, you misunderstand. What I seek is not the present, but the future,” Lin Xiu continued.

"future?"

"That's right, in the future."

"In the future, young friend Ye will need to find a celestial technique that is no weaker than this one to settle the karmic debts between us today. I wonder if young friend Ye is willing?"

"No problem! I'm willing!"

Ye Fan immediately agreed.

Regardless, let's get at least a basic level first. What's the point of talking about the future if we don't even have that now?

Sorry, future me! I'll have to trouble you to pay off my debt!

.......

“Good, this child is teachable.”

"In that case, young friend Ye, please step forward and extend your hand," Lin Xiu said with a smile.

"Master Lin! Here I come!" Ye Fan jumped excitedly in front of Lin Xiu.

As a jade slip fell into Ye Fan's hands, Lin Xiu heard a system notification.

【ding~】

[The host directly alters Ye Fan's fate.]

[Through the host's efforts, Ye Fan will suffer more pursuit due to the Ruthless Man's Secret Technique, gaining more experience than originally destined, and completing his cultivation at the Immortal Platform stage six months earlier.]

[Character Bonus Level: Highest.]

[Congratulations, host, you have received the reward: the complete version of the Myriad Transformations Sacred Technique (Gold).]

[The Complete Version of the Myriad Transformations Sacred Technique: The complete version of the Myriad Transformations Sacred Technique can transform all things under heaven, directly interfering with the opponent's techniques or supernatural abilities, infinitely weakening their power. It can also turn the rotten into the miraculous, and the miraculous into the rotten.]

"Oh? The complete version of the Myriad Transformations Sacred Technique, not bad, not bad."

Lin Xiu thought to himself, "My dear daughter is wonderful, my dear daughter is amazing, I can never repay her kindness."

.......

While Lin Xiu was comprehending the complete version of the Myriad Transformations Saint Technique, Ye Fan wore a bitter expression.

"Master Lin, am I truly destined for this method? I can't understand it, and I can't learn it at all?"

"Ah~ you mean this~"

"What I am imparting to you is a technique, not a method of cultivation. If you wish to use it, you must embark on the path of cultivation," Lin Xiu explained.

"........."

Ye Fan looked at Lin Xiu with resentment in his eyes.

This is like giving a primitive man a USB drive! Even if the USB drive contains top-tier content, so what? He can't watch it at all!

Ye Fan suspected that he had been fooled by Lin Xiu.

However, he really couldn't figure out why Lin Xiu was trying to fool him.

Because if Lin Xiu didn't want to, he could simply renege on the debt.

So in the end, Ye Fan accepted the jade slip after expressing his gratitude.

.......

No sooner had Ye Fan finished expressing his gratitude than a sudden change occurred.

The five-colored light reflected in the sky, attracting everyone's attention.

It turned out that while Ye Fan and Lin Xiu were talking, Ye Fan's classmates had already arrived in front of the Nine Dragons Coffin.

Nine enormous dragon corpses, each a hundred meters long, lay across the Jade Emperor Peak, completely blocking the way down the mountain.

Unable to descend the mountain, Ye Fan's classmates had no choice but to enter the coffin to explore.

Then, not long after, the five-colored altar suddenly burst forth with dazzling light, and the entire massive altar was enveloped in a soft yet powerful halo.

Around the bronze coffin, thousands of ancient characters shone like stars, eventually coalescing into a giant Bagua diagram.

One by one, the eight trigram symbols lit up like activated codes. Amidst the violent tremors, a crack slowly opened from the yin-yang symbol.

"Master Lin! This is!"

The situation was too bizarre, so Ye Fan hurriedly looked at the omnipotent Master Lin.

"Don't panic."

Lin Xiu raised his hand, signaling Ye Fan not to panic.

"Yes, I believe this is nothing to Master Lin!"

Seeing that Lin Xiu remained calm, Ye Fan felt much more at ease.

Go! Immortal Master Lin! Quickly use your invincible divine stone to defeat these black dragons!

......

"Don't panic, panicking won't help. This humble Taoist is powerless to do anything about this matter; we can only wait and see."

"Huh? Cough cough cough cough!~"

Ye Fan was completely stunned. Good heavens, he thought Lin Xiu had a plan in mind, which was why he wasn't panicking at all. Who knew that he wasn't panicking because he knew he was powerless to do anything about it?

Well, it seems that when it comes to cultivating composure and self-restraint, Master Lin is far superior to him.

.......

During Lin Xiu and Ye Fan's conversation, the Nine Dragons Coffin area reacted again.

"Weng~"

A terrifying suction force erupted from inside the coffin, quickly sweeping across the surrounding area.
