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

This is absolutely perfect! They didn't even use the Great Luo Sword Embryo to cut the flesh, and they used the Myriad Things Mother Qi Cauldron to simmer soup—it's like they came for nothing!

After finishing their meal, Team One and Team Two continued training, while Xiang Yang and Lin Xiu continued their cultivation.

Before long, Lin Xiu heard the system notification.

【ding~】

[The host directly alters Aunt Hui's fate.]

From then on, Aunt Hui embarked on a path of spiritual cultivation, and in the future, she even developed the legendary "spiritual energy dumplings," benefiting an entire era.

[Character bonus level: Low.]

[Congratulations, host, you have received the reward: Talented Culinary Master (White)].

【Talented Culinary Master: Increases your culinary talent by 20%】

Note: This talent is permanent; regardless of your level, it will consistently increase your culinary talent by 20%.

Lin Xiu: ".........."

"I was just about to say I wanted to use the Myriad Things Mother Qi Cauldron to make soup, and the system just gave me a cooking talent, right?"

"But I don't have any talent for cooking. If my base stats are low, even with a 20% bonus..."

What's the use of achieving it?

"Unless...unless it's really as I imagine..."

Lin Xiu felt that he had an increasingly important need to put his idea into practice.

.......

Thinking of this, Lin Xiu turned to look at Bing'er.

"Bing'er, you should still remember what I said when I took you as my maid, right?"

Bing'er shifted her gaze from Bei Miao and respectfully walked to Lin Xiu:

"Lord Dao, you said that Bing'er's sins are grave and she needs to stay by your side to atone for them."

"Yes, I did say that. Have you thought about how you plan to atone for your sins?"

Bing'er: "I........."

"I don't know. However, I feel that being able to stay by the Dao Lord's side and help you with some miscellaneous matters is itself a very good thing."

Meaningful things.

Bing'er's statement is not wrong.

"You're quite the flatterer, did you learn that from King Jie?" Lin Xiu shook his head with a smile.

“You’re right, this is indeed a way of atonement.”

"However, didn't I tell you? I won't stay in this world for long."

"So, your way of atonement... is different."

At this point, Lin Xiu looked toward the entrance to the basketball court.

There, Meizhen rushed over.

"hu~hu~"

After catching her breath for a while, Meizhen finally regained her ability to speak.

As soon as she recovered, Meizhen couldn't wait to ask:

"Lord Dao, is what you just said true? Do you really intend to continue training disciples?"

“That’s right, I plan to continue, except for the first and second teams.”

"Considering the potential impact on the world, I need to give you a heads-up first. After all, I still have to give the higher-ups some face."

Meizhen nodded.

Before Lin Xiu brought them down, the five Light and Shadow Stones had been stored on a military satellite, which was clearly something a private company couldn't do.

"So, what's their response?"

Since Meizhen has already arrived, it means that a conclusion has already been reached through discussion.

"The doctor and the higher-ups have unanimously approved the Dao Lord's proposal. If you, Dao Lord, agree, we can now select the descendants of the Five Shadows Village who are willing to cultivate."

"good."

Lin Xiu nodded, then turned to look at Bing'er.

"Bing'er, this is your path to atonement."

"Before I leave, I will train you to be a qualified teacher and leave behind a piece of my divine thought program to help people cultivate themselves."

"From now on, whether I am here or not, you must take it as your responsibility to cultivate students and nurture more pillars of society and the country."

Bing'er was taken aback, then felt a surge of emotion.

She knew she was deeply sinful, and that being able to atone for her sins in this way was already her greatest honor!

"Boom~"

With a heavy thud, Bing'er knelt down and respectfully kowtowed to Lin Xiu.

"I can never repay the kindness of the Dao Lord."

"If there is an afterlife, Bing'er is willing to be a cow or a horse to repay your great kindness!"

Bing'er didn't say anything like "I'm willing to give myself to you"; she wasn't that narcissistic.

However, if Lin Xiu agrees, she is willing to serve him as his disciple.

Unfortunately... after spending these two days together, Bing'er has already realized that Lin Xiu has no such intention.

Bing'er felt that Lin Xiu's lover should be this world.

......

And so, the matter was settled, and execution began swiftly.

In just six months, Lin Xiu trained hundreds of descendants of the Five Elements Village and granted them the ability to summon armor.

In addition to training, Lin Xiu also reaped rich rewards, namely a large number of low-level talents!

Lin Xiu's guess was correct; changing the fate of ordinary people can also earn system rewards!

However, compared to characters in the story, ordinary people need to be represented by sheer numbers.

Characters in the storyline can obtain decent rewards by themselves, while ordinary people need dozens or even hundreds of people to obtain a low-level reward.

Fortunately, Lin Xiu was a greedy person; he wanted high-level rewards, but he wouldn't let go of low-level ones either.

If it weren't for the concern that pushing things forward all at once might cause social unrest, Lin Xiu would have even wanted to directly distribute the fragments of the Taoist scriptures widely and spread the Tao to the world.

During this period, through those hundreds of descendants of the Five Elements Village, Lin Xiu acquired quite a few white-level talents:

such as:

Low-level Fire Affinity (Increases Fire Affinity by 20%)

Low-level water affinity (increases water affinity by 20%)

Experienced driver (driving talent increased by 20%)

Combat Instinct (Increases combat talent by 20%)

Researcher (Research talent increased by 20%)

Wait, wait, wait...

Although these talents seem quite basic, Lin Xiu still felt they were very valuable.

Because... these talents can be stacked!

Chapter 55 The Weakness of the Emperor's Armor? (First Update)

Lin Xiu had received two low-level fire attribute affinity rewards. With the support of these two low-level talents, Lin Xiu's fire attribute affinity increased to 40% in one go.

At this stage, the number of cultivators guided by Lin Xiu is still very small, but if the number continues to increase over time, it is possible to reach several hundred percent!

Besides the Five Elements Armor users who came from training courses, Team One and Team Two are also steadily improving their strength.

With the support of Lin Xiu's Five Elements Domain and Immortal Spiritual Energy, they have all reached the Life Spring Realm and are about to break through to the Divine Bridge Realm, making them much stronger than they were half a year ago.

As for Lin Xiu... his progress is nothing short of phenomenal.

As a Saint Body, Lin Xiu could level up smoothly before reaching the Four Extremes, as long as he had enough "Source".

As for resources, they are the least scarce resource for Lin Xiu.

The five light and shadow stones can produce endless five elements essence, which is of great help to Dao Palace cultivators.

In addition, Lin Xiu himself can also use the Origin Space to produce sources of extremely high quality.

Furthermore, during the few times Lin Xiu returned to the Shrouding the Heavens universe regularly, he even found the Daoist essence of "Divine Source".

Using the "Divine Source Dao Rhyme," whose source energy is even purer than ordinary divine sources, Lin Xiu quickly broke through the barrier.

In just nine months, including "half a year in Armor Hero" and "three months in Shrouding the Heavens World", Lin Xiu not only perfected his previously incomplete Sea of ​​Wheels realm, but also cultivated to the peak of the fifth level of the Dao Palace.

If it weren't for the need to prepare for breaking through to the fourth level, Lin Xiu would probably have already broken through to the fourth level.

"The only problem... is the Shadow Emperor."

"In the past six months, the Shadow Emperor has shown no intention of making a move whatsoever. What exactly is the Old Man of the Divine Mountain doing?"

According to the agreement with Lin Xiu, the Old Man of the Divine Mountain was supposed to spread rumors to lure the Shadow Emperor to Earth, and then let Lin Xiu kill him.

As a result, not only did the Shadow Emperor disappear, but even the Dark Beast never reappeared.

"Sigh~ If I wasn't afraid of alerting the enemy, I would have directly deduced the location of the Black Beast and killed it."

Lin Xiu tried to deduce the location where the Black Demon Beast was hiding, and even tried to deduce the timing of the Shadow Emperor's attack.

The previous few potential timeframes for action have passed, and the last two days have been the final timeframe.

"According to the calculations, the Shadow Emperor will make his move soon."

"I hope... he will like the gift I prepared for him."
