Chapter 135: A Perfect Plan

It was indeed too late for Tianyu, but there was nothing he could do about it, because the pill left by the Master’s junior was simply too powerful.

As a prodigy of the inner sect, Tianyu had seen countless pills throughout his life. Smelling one was enough for him to determine its type. However, he had been unable to identify that particular pill—”Dafan Dan.”

When Lin Fan appeared at the Holy Sect, Tianyu had not been there—he was undergoing trials in the forbidden area. Upon returning to the sect, he had already lost his cultivation base and suffered severe physical and mental injuries, leaving him no energy to care about what had happened within the sect. Naturally, he had no idea that the sect leader had already granted the Nameless Peak to a disciple.

As for whether the pill was poison, he no longer cared. What could someone like him—a broken man—possibly possess that others would desire?

However, the moment he consumed the pill, Tianyu’s expression changed instantly. A flame unlike anything he had ever experienced surged through his body, as if it were about to tear him apart.

What followed were the expected effects after ingesting the “Dafan Dan.”

After the pill’s effects subsided, he collapsed on the ground, his mind replaying past events, all his worries and troubles vanishing from his thoughts.

Divine pill—that was the only conclusion Tianyu could reach after taking it.

“Master’s junior, disciple Tianyu has made up his mind. I beg you, save me from this suffering,” Tianyu kowtowed sincerely, pleading earnestly.

“Come now, get up,” Lin Fan stepped forward and helped Tianyu to his feet. “There’s no need to ask me for this. This Master’s junior will naturally restore your cultivation base.”

Lin Fan had plans to bring this talented disciple under his wing.

Although Tianyu’s foundation had been destroyed, it didn’t mean it couldn’t be restored. Once healed, he would still be a prodigy.

“Restoring your foundation won’t happen overnight. There are many empty rooms here since this place is newly established. Later, my disciple will take you to choose one,” Lin Fan’s intention was simple—he wanted to keep Tianyu around and, with the full strength of the sect, gradually persuade him until he was successfully won over.

Especially at a time when Tianyu had hit rock bottom after losing his foundation, it was the perfect moment to succeed.

“Then I thank you, Master’s junior,” Tianyu nodded. At this point, he had no choice but to place all his hopes on Lin Fan. Whether he believed or not, he had to give it a try.

Better to take a gamble than live like a dog.

Later, Feng Buju accompanied Tianyu to choose a room.

“Master, I think the chances of winning him over are very low. He is a prodigy of the inner sect and holds deep loyalty toward the Holy Sect. He won’t easily switch sides to our sect,” Zhang Erdog said.

Lin Fan smiled slightly, shaking his head while gazing at Zhang Erdog. “Erdog, remember, nothing in the world is difficult for one who sets their mind to it. Even an iron rod can be ground into a needle. Right now, he’s in a time of despair, desperately needing recognition and emotional support. From now on, the two of you will have a tough time.”

“Yes, disciple understands,” Zhang Erdog was quick-witted and grasped the meaning immediately.

Half a month later.

Tianyu had already been on Nameless Peak for half a month and had not come down the mountain. The sect did not make a big move regarding Tianyu’s disappearance, but Zong Hentian had searched the entire sect for him without any success.

Eventually, the matter faded away, and Tianyu remained on Nameless Peak.

During this time, Lin Fan focused on refining pills. As his pill-refining skills advanced, the progress became increasingly difficult. Currently, he had been stuck at level nineteen for a while, needing just a little more to break through.

However, Lin Fan was not in a rush. Advancing in pill-refining was inevitable and would naturally come with time.

Although Zhang Erdog’s talent was merely average and his cultivation speed slow, Lin Fan occasionally boosted his potential and supplied him with a large number of pills, enabling his cultivation to approach the threshold of the Xiantian realm.

Without a system, Zhang Erdog naturally needed to rely on his own efforts to cross into the Xiantian realm. As for when he would break through, it all depended on himself.

Feng Buju had originally been at the high Xiantian level, and now his strength had increased significantly. However, he still lacked a bit to reach the Xiantian Peak realm. If he were to break through, it would likely happen within a month.

As for Tianyu, he now had complete faith in Lin Fan’s ability to restore his foundation.

After all, he could now cultivate on his own, albeit slowly. For Tianyu, this was already a huge step forward.

Zhang Erdog and Feng Buju kept Lin Fan’s teachings in mind, constantly trying to persuade Tianyu with soft tactics, frequently whispering in his ear, recounting Lin Fan’s life stories and wise words.

All of this was part of a carefully crafted ultimate plan, developed through countless discussions between Lin Fan and the two disciples.

This plan was customized according to Tianyu’s personal circumstances.

It was tailored based on his personality, habits, temperament, and other factors.

Moreover, as Tianyu’s mindset gradually shifted, the plan would be adjusted and refined accordingly.

Only Lin Fan and these two idle disciples had the time and patience to create such a detailed strategy.

…

The next day.

A sudden uproar broke out among the outer sect disciples.

The disciples walking around the outer sect stopped in their tracks, staring ahead in shock.

“That’s a disciple from Jialan Peak!”

“Wow, so beautiful! Look at the one leading them—her figure is absolutely stunning!”

“Shh, speak softly! The female disciples from Jialan Peak have notoriously bad tempers.”

“Strange, the disciples from Jialan Peak rarely come down the mountain. Why are so many of them descending today? Could something have happened?”

“No idea. Let’s follow them and see what new discoveries await.”

…

Zhou Yaoyao was leading over a dozen junior female disciples toward Nameless Peak, seeking help from the respected Master Lin.

Feeling the lustful gazes from the surrounding disciples, Zhou Yaoyao showed disdain and let out a cold snort. These people were simply no match for Master Lin.

“Senior sister, if even Master Lin won’t help us this time, we’ll truly be in trouble,” a female disciple said tearfully, looking pitiful.

“Don’t worry. Master Lin is a truly kind person. He would never stand by and watch us suffer,” Zhou Yaoyao replied firmly.

…

At that moment, the outer sect disciples were shocked to see that the female disciples from Jialan Peak were heading to Nameless Peak.

Could it be that Jialan Peak had also come to seek Master Lin’s help with pill refinement?

Everyone held great respect for Master Lin from Nameless Peak. Without him, how could these outer sect disciples have lived such comfortable lives?

Who else could they turn to for pills now? Naturally, they would seek out Master Lin.

Although the outer sect of Dan Ding Peak had undergone reforms, with pill refinement now free of charge and success rates significantly increased, these outer sect disciples still refused to go there.

The Dan Ding Peak had hurt their feelings deeply. Moreover, Master Lin’s pill-refining speed was astonishing—materials handed in one day could be picked up the next, often with pleasant surprises.

Plus, Master Lin was approachable, and his two senior disciples treated them like close friends, chatting and joking around, making them feel right at home.

As for Dan Ding Peak, they could just take a hike and cool off elsewhere.
