Chapter 10: Senior Brother, Please Stay a Moment

“Senior Brother Ni, do you think we came to the wrong place?” Lin Fan looked at the extremely simple building in front of him and compared it to Senior Brother Meng’s luxurious residence. They were completely opposite.

“No, this is indeed where inner disciples live,” Ni Mingyang replied with a smile. “Junior Brother, work hard. In the cultivation path, if you don’t move forward, you’ll fall behind. But you’re a genius, you will surely succeed.”

“Thank you, Senior Brother Ni,” Lin Fan nodded. “But why is this place so different from Senior Brother Meng’s residence?”

“Junior Brother, Senior Brother Meng is one of the ten outstanding genius disciples. Naturally, his treatment is different. But as long as you work hard, you will definitely receive the same treatment in the future,” Ni Mingyang said.

Lin Fan looked at Ni Mingyang and nodded. These were just clichés, right? With his abilities, as long as he put in a little effort, those ten outstanding genius disciples were just experience-giving NPCs to him.

But for now, it was better to keep a low profile. He needed to take things slowly, step by step.

“Senior Brother, how many inner disciples are there?” Lin Fan asked.

“Eight thousand, eight hundred and eighty-eight,” Ni Mingyang replied.

“Brother Ni, did we come to the wrong place?” Lin Fan looked at the extremely plain building in front of him and thought of Brother Meng’s luxurious residence. They were complete opposites.

“No mistake, this is where the outer sect disciples live,” Ni Mingyang said with a smile. “Junior brother, work hard. In the path of cultivation, if you don’t advance, you fall behind. But you’re a genius; you’ll surely succeed.”

“Thank you, Brother Ni,” Lin Fan nodded. “Brother Ni, why is there such a big difference between this place and Brother Meng’s residence?”

“Junior brother, Brother Meng is one of the top ten outstanding geniuses of the outer sect. Naturally, his treatment is different. But if you work hard, you’ll eventually receive the same treatment as Brother Meng,” Ni Mingyang said.

Lin Fan looked at Ni Mingyang and nodded. Wasn’t this just stating the obvious? With my abilities, just a little effort, and I could easily become one of the top ten outstanding geniuses.

But for now, it’s better to keep a low profile. Take it step by step.

“Brother Ni, how many outer sect disciples are there?” Lin Fan asked.

“Eight thousand eight hundred and eighty-eight,” Ni Mingyang replied.

Lin Fan was delighted. Eight thousand people. It seems that by mingling with them and gaining experience, reaching the innate realm would be a piece of cake.

“Junior brother, what are you laughing about?” Ni Mingyang asked, puzzled by Lin Fan’s sudden laughter.

“Nothing, nothing. Brother, I’m tired. I think I’ll go rest now,” Lin Fan said, planning to scout the surroundings and prepare for a big move.

“Alright, junior brother, rest well. I’ll take my leave now,” Ni Mingyang said.

“Brother, goodbye. I’ll come find you in a few days,” Lin Fan waved.

Ni Mingyang, who was about to leave, turned pale at these words and quickened his pace.

No, I must move after I get back. If this guy comes looking for me, nothing good will come of it.

Back in his room.

Lin Fan opened the items he had received.

A bottle of pills in a white porcelain jar, a green robe, a pair of shoes, a long sword, an iron token, and a thin booklet…

That was it.

Lin Fan sighed, feeling that the sect was a bit stingy. He poured out the pills from the white jar.

They were white, about the size of soybeans.

“Ding, discovered ‘Qi Nurturing Pills.'”

“Effect: When consumed by ordinary people, it enhances the flow of internal energy, strengthens the body, and refines the internal organs. Only one pill can be taken per day.”

“Consumption increases: Experience +100.”

Lin Fan counted them; there were thirty pills in total, likely given monthly.

Lin Fan poured all the pills into his hand and then popped them into his mouth, chewing them all at once.

“Ding, experience +3000.”

It seems that pill consumption is a good way to level up, but I’m not yet familiar with the methods. I need to investigate further.

Lin Fan then picked up the robe issued by the sect, feeling its texture. Not bad, the material is reliable and smooth. But what’s this? Why is it slit on both sides? Is this a cheongsam?

And it can be lifted from the back, saving the trouble of taking it off…

This…

At this moment, Lin Fan couldn’t help but have some wicked thoughts.

He then picked up the long sword, weighing it in his hands. It was just an ordinary sword, nothing special, so he tossed it aside.

“Ding, discovered ‘Holy Demon Secrets.’ Learn?”

“Learn.”

Instantly, Lin Fan’s mind was filled with many things he had never known before.

Not bad, not bad.

The next day.

Training ground.

Outer sect assessment disciples began to arrive at the training ground one after another.

At the same time, these outer sect assessment disciples all had joyful smiles on their faces, as if something pleasant had happened.

“Hey, Brother is smart, getting rid of that monster. We won’t be bullied anymore.”

The peerless handsome man standing in the crowd smiled confidently, “Just a small trick.”

“Brother is brilliant.”

“Brother is cultured; his mind is sharper than anyone else’s.”

The outer sect assessment disciples surrounded the peerless handsome man, flattering him. The peerless handsome man was enjoying the situation, smiling as brightly as a sunflower.

Early in the morning, Lin Fan quickly got up. The morning is the most important time of the day; he couldn’t afford to sleep in and waste time.

Now that he was in the outer sect, he needed to make good use of the resources. These outer sect disciples were like untouched lambs, bleating softly, waiting for my invasion.

Lin Fan, dressed in the outer sect disciple’s green robe with the token tied at his waist, walked outside.

Now he was looking for the place where the outer sect disciples practiced.

But when Lin Fan arrived at the scene, he was instantly dumbfounded.

What’s going on?

Where have all the outer sect disciples gone? The vast outer sect training ground was empty, with only a few people here and there. This was not what Lin Fan had imagined.

Under normal circumstances, shouldn’t the outer sect training ground be packed with people, all desperately practicing? Why is it like this now?

Does this mean I have to go back to the outer sect assessment disciples?

Those guys can’t provide much experience anymore; it’s almost negligible.

Heavens, earth, are you going to let me waste away like this?

I want to cultivate, I want to level up.

Lin Fan said nothing, directly stopping someone.

“Brother, why is there no one on the training ground?” Lin Fan asked very politely.

The person Lin Fan stopped didn’t look too good, carefully examining Lin Fan. Seeing the token at Lin Fan’s waist, he asked, “Are you a new outer sect disciple?”

“Yes,” Lin Fan nodded.

“The outer sect training ground is usually empty. Most of the brothers practice in their own residences,” the extra brother said, seeing that this junior brother’s attitude was quite good.

“I see,” Lin Fan nodded, but this was somewhat troublesome.

If they’re all practicing indoors, what method can I use to lure them out? I need to think carefully.

But… for now, Lin Fan had something extremely important to do.

“Brother, how is your prestige among the outer sect disciples in the sect?” Lin Fan asked with anticipation.

“Respected by all,” the extra brother said confidently, raising his head.

Lin Fan looked at him, sensing some arrogance. It was probably true.

“May I ask your name, brother?” Lin Fan asked.

“Han Lu,” Brother Han said, though he didn’t understand why this outer sect junior brother was asking, he still told him.

“Brother Han, what do you think of me?” Lin Fan asked.

Han Lu looked at Lin Fan with confusion, his mind filled with countless thoughts. What does this junior brother want? I need to go to the Transmission Elder to borrow a manual now. If I miss the time, I’ll regret it.

“This is our first meeting; it’s not appropriate to judge. If you have anything else, we can talk next time. I have something urgent to attend to now,” Han Lu said hurriedly, as if he didn’t want to talk to Lin Fan any longer.

“Alright, brother, take care,” Lin Fan said with a slight smile.

Han Lu nodded, then turned to leave.

“Brother, please wait,” Lin Fan called out.

“What?” Han Lu turned around in confusion.

But at the moment he turned, Lin Fan moved instantly.

“Monkey Steals the Peach…”

“Junior Brother, why are you laughing?” Ni Mingyang saw Lin Fan smiling foolishly and asked in confusion.

“Nothing, I didn’t laugh at anything. Senior Brother, I’m a bit tired, I want to rest first,” Lin Fan said, wanting to check the surroundings and plan necessary measures to prepare for a big move.

“Alright then, rest well, Junior Brother. I’ll take my leave first,” Ni Mingyang said.

“Senior Brother, goodbye. I’ll come find you in a few days,” Lin Fan waved.

Hearing this, Ni Mingyang, who was originally about to leave, turned pale with fright and quickened his pace.

No way, he must move house after returning. If this guy came to find him, nothing good would come out of it.

Back in his room.

Lin Fan opened the items he had received.

A bottle of pills in a white porcelain jar, a light green robe, a pair of shoes, a long sword, an iron token, a not-so-thick booklet…

That was it.

That was all.

Lin Fan sighed, feeling the sect was a bit stingy. He poured out the pills from the white jar.

White, about the size of soybeans.

“Brother Ni, did we come to the wrong place?” Lin Fan looked at the extremely plain building in front of him and thought of Brother Meng’s luxurious residence. They were like two extremes.

“No, this is where the outer disciples live,” Ni Mingyang said with a smile. “Junior brother, work hard. In the path of cultivation, if you don’t advance, you’ll fall behind. But you’re a genius; you’ll surely succeed.”

“Thank you, Brother Ni,” Lin Fan nodded. “Brother Ni, why is there such a big difference between this place and Brother Meng’s residence?”

“Junior brother, Brother Meng is one of the top ten outstanding geniuses among the outer disciples. Naturally, his treatment is different. But if you work hard, you’ll eventually enjoy the same treatment as Brother Meng,” Ni Mingyang explained.

Lin Fan looked at Ni Mingyang and nodded. Wasn’t he just stating the obvious? With my abilities, as long as I put in a little effort, those top ten outstanding geniuses would just be my stepping stones.

But for now, it’s better to keep a low profile. Take it step by step.

“Brother Ni, how many outer disciples are there?” Lin Fan asked.

“Eight thousand eight hundred and eighty-eight,” Ni Mingyang replied.

Hearing this, Lin Fan felt a surge of joy. With so many people, if I mingle around and gather experience, reaching the innate realm would be a piece of cake.

“Junior brother, what are you laughing about?” Ni Mingyang asked, puzzled by Lin Fan’s sudden grin.

“Nothing, nothing. Brother, I’m a bit tired. I think I’ll go rest now,” Lin Fan said, planning to scout the surroundings and prepare for his next big move.

“Alright, junior brother, rest well. I’ll take my leave now,” Ni Mingyang said.

“Brother, goodbye. I’ll come find you in a few days,” Lin Fan waved.

Hearing this, Ni Mingyang’s face turned pale, and he quickened his pace. No, I must move after I get back. If this guy comes looking for me, nothing good will come of it.

Back in his room, Lin Fan opened the items he had received.

A bottle of pills in a white porcelain jar, a green robe, a pair of shoes, a long sword, an iron token, and a thin booklet…

That was it.

Lin Fan sighed, feeling that the sect was a bit stingy. He poured out the pills from the white jar.

They were white, about the size of soybeans.

“Ding, ‘Qi Nurturing Pill’ discovered.”

“Effect: When consumed by ordinary people, it enhances the flow of internal energy, strengthens the body, and refines the internal organs. Can only be taken once a day.”

“Consumption reward: Experience +100.”

Lin Fan counted them; there were thirty pills, likely a month’s supply.

He poured them all out and swallowed them in one go.

“Ding, experience +3000.”

It seems that pill consumption is a good way to level up. But since I’m not yet familiar with the ropes, I need to investigate further.

Next, Lin Fan picked up the sect-issued robe. It felt smooth and of good quality, but why was it split on both sides? Was it a cheongsam?

And it could be lifted from the back, saving the trouble of taking it off…

This…

At this moment, Lin Fan couldn’t help but have some wicked thoughts.

Then he picked up the long sword, weighed it in his hands, and found it to be just an ordinary sword. Useless. He tossed it aside.

“Ding, ‘Holy Demon Secrets’ discovered. Learn?”

“Learn.”

Suddenly, Lin Fan’s mind was filled with knowledge he had never known before.

Not bad, not bad.

The next day, at the training ground.

Outer disciples gradually arrived at the training ground, their faces beaming with joy as if something pleasant had happened.

“Hey, Brother is clever. He got rid of that monster. We won’t be bullied anymore.”

The handsome man in the crowd smiled confidently, “Just a little trick.”

“Brother is brilliant.”

“Brother is cultured; his mind is sharper than anyone else’s.”

The outer disciples surrounded the handsome man, flattering him. The handsome man enjoyed the attention, smiling like a sunflower.

Early in the morning, Lin Fan quickly got up. The early bird catches the worm; he couldn’t afford to sleep in and waste time.

Now that he was an outer disciple, he needed to make good use of the resources. These outer disciples were like untouched lambs, bleating and waiting for me to invade.

Lin Fan wore the outer disciple’s green robe, fastened the token to his waist, and headed out.

He was looking for the place where the outer disciples trained.

But when Lin Fan arrived, he was instantly dumbfounded.

What’s going on?

Where did all the outer disciples go? The vast training ground was empty, with only a few people around. This was not what Lin Fan had imagined.

Normally, the training ground should be packed with people, all striving to cultivate. Why was it like this now?

Do I have to go back to the outer disciple examination area?

Those guys don’t give much experience anymore; it’s almost negligible.

Heaven and earth, are you going to let me waste away like this?

I want to cultivate; I want to level up.

Lin Fan stopped someone.

“Brother, why is the training ground so empty?” Lin Fan asked politely.

The person Lin Fan stopped didn’t look too well. He scrutinized Lin Fan and, seeing the token on his waist, asked, “Are you a new outer disciple?”

“Yes,” Lin Fan nodded.

“The training ground is usually empty. Most of the brothers cultivate in their own residences,” the extra brother said, his tone softening since Lin Fan’s attitude was decent.

“I see,” Lin Fan nodded. But this was a bit troublesome.

If they’re all cultivating indoors, how can I lure them out? I need to think carefully.

But for now, Lin Fan had something extremely important to do.

“Brother, how much prestige do you have among the outer disciples?” Lin Fan asked eagerly.

“Everyone respects me,” the extra brother said confidently, lifting his head.

Lin Fan sized him up. He seemed a bit arrogant, but he was probably telling the truth.

“May I know your name, brother?” Lin Fan asked.

“Han Lu,” the brother replied, though he didn’t understand why this outer disciple was asking. But he still answered.

“Brother Han, what do you think of me?” Lin Fan asked.

Han Lu looked at Lin Fan, puzzled. What is this junior brother up to? I need to go to the Elder to borrow a manual. If I miss the time, I’ll regret it.

“This is our first meeting; it’s not appropriate for me to judge. If you have anything else, we can talk next time. I have something urgent to attend to now,” Han Lu said hurriedly, as if he didn’t want to waste any more time with Lin Fan.

“Alright, brother, take care,” Lin Fan smiled slightly.

Han Lu nodded and turned to leave.

“Brother, wait,” Lin Fan called out.

“What?” Han Lu turned around, confused.

But at that moment, Lin Fan moved instantly.

“Monkey steals the peach…”

“Brother Ni, did we come to the wrong place?” Lin Fan looked at the extremely plain building in front of him, and then thought of Brother Meng’s luxurious residence. They were like two extremes.

“No mistake, the residences of the outer disciples are all here,” Ni Mingyang said with a smile. “Junior brother, work hard. On the path of cultivation, if you don’t advance, you’ll fall behind. But you’re a genius, you’ll definitely succeed.”

“Thank you, Brother Ni,” Lin Fan nodded. “Brother Ni, why is there such a big difference between this residence and Brother Meng’s?”

“Junior brother, Brother Meng is one of the top ten outstanding genius disciples of the outer sect, so naturally, the treatment is a bit different. But as long as you work hard, you’ll surely receive such treatment in the future,” Ni Mingyang said.

Lin Fan looked at Ni Mingyang and nodded. Isn’t this all just nonsense? With my abilities, just a little effort, and I’ll be one of the top ten outstanding genius disciples, just like my experience points.

But for now, it’s better to keep a low profile, take it step by step.

“Brother Ni, how many outer disciples are there?” Lin Fan asked.

“Eight thousand eight hundred and eighty-eight,” Ni Mingyang replied.

Hearing this, Lin Fan was delighted. Eight thousand people, it seems like I can mix around, gather experience, and reaching the innate realm will be a piece of cake.

“Junior brother, what are you laughing at?” Ni Mingyang asked, puzzled as he saw Lin Fan grinning to himself.

“Nothing, nothing. Brother, I’m tired, I think I’ll go rest now,” Lin Fan said, planning to scout the surroundings and prepare for a big move.

“Alright, junior brother, rest well. I’ll take my leave,” Ni Mingyang said.

“Brother, goodbye. I’ll come find you in a few days,” Lin Fan waved.

No, I must move after I get back. If this guy comes looking for me, nothing good will come of it.

Back in his room.

Lin Fan opened the items he had received.

A bottle of pills in a white porcelain jar, a green robe, a pair of shoes, a long sword, an iron token, a not-too-thick booklet…

And that was it.

Just these few things.

Lin Fan sighed, feeling the sect was a bit stingy. He poured out the pills from the white jar.

White, the size of soybeans.

“Ding, discovered ‘Qi Nurturing Pills’.”

“Effect: Ordinary people can enhance the flow of internal energy, strengthen the body, refine the internal organs. Can only take one pill a day.”

“Consumption increases: Experience +100.”

Lin Fan counted, thirty pills in total, probably given monthly.

Lin Fan poured all the pills out and popped them into his mouth, chewing them all up.

“Ding, experience +3000.”

It seems like taking pills to level up is a good strategy, but I’m not familiar with the ways yet, need to scout around more.

Then Lin Fan picked up the sect-issued robe, felt it in his hands. Not bad, not bad, the material is reliable, very smooth. But what’s this? Why is it split on both sides? Is this a cheongsam?

And it can be lifted from the back, saving the trouble of taking it off…

This…

At this moment, Lin Fan couldn’t help but feel a bit wicked.

Then Lin Fan picked up the long sword, weighed it in his hands. Just an ordinary long sword, not useful, so he tossed it aside.

“Ding, discovered ‘Holy Demon Secrets’. Learn?”

“Learn.”

Then Lin Fan’s mind was filled with many things he had never known before.

Not bad, not bad.

The next day.

Training ground.

The surrounding outer sect assessment disciples gathered around the peerless handsome man, flattering him. And the peerless handsome man was enjoying this situation, smiling as brightly as a sunflower.

Early in the morning, Lin Fan quickly got up. The plan for the day lies in the morning, can’t let laziness delay things.

Since I’ve joined the outer sect, I must make good use of the current resources. These outer disciples are all untouched lambs, bleating softly, waiting for my invasion.

Lin Fan wore the outer disciple’s distinctive green robe, tied the token at his waist, and walked out.

Now he was looking for the place where the outer disciples practiced.

But when Lin Fan arrived at the scene, he was instantly dumbfounded.

What’s going on?

Where have all the outer disciples gone? This huge outer disciple training ground is empty, only a few people here and there. This is not what Lin Fan had imagined.

Under normal circumstances, shouldn’t the outer training ground be packed with people, all desperately practicing? Why is it like this now?

Does this mean I have to go back to the outer sect assessment disciples?

Those guys can’t give much experience anymore, almost negligible.

Heavens, earth, are you going to let me waste away like this?

I want to cultivate, I want to level up.

Lin Fan said nothing, just stopped someone.

“Han Lu,” Brother Han said, though he didn’t understand why this outer disciple was asking, but still told him.

“Brother Han, how do you think I am?” Lin Fan asked.

Han Lu looked at Lin Fan with confusion, myriad thoughts in his mind. What does this junior brother want to do? I need to go to the Elder of Transmission to borrow a manual, if I miss the time, I’ll regret it.

“This is our first meeting, it’s not appropriate to judge. If you have anything else, we can talk next time. I have something to do now, I must go,” Han Lu said hurriedly, as if he didn’t want to talk to Lin Fan anymore.

But for now, it’s better to keep a low profile, take it step by step.

“Brother Ni, how many outer disciples are there?” Lin Fan asked.

“Eight thousand eight hundred and eighty-eight,” Ni Mingyang replied.

Hearing this, Lin Fan was delighted. With over eight thousand people, it seems that by mixing around and gaining experience, reaching the innate realm is a sure thing.

“Junior brother, what are you laughing at?” Ni Mingyang asked, puzzled as he saw Lin Fan laughing to himself.

“Nothing, nothing. Brother, I’m a bit tired now. I think I’ll go rest,” Lin Fan said. He needed to scout the surroundings and plan his next big move.

“Alright, junior brother, rest well. I’ll take my leave now,” Ni Mingyang said.

“Brother, goodbye. I’ll come find you in a few days,” Lin Fan waved.

Hearing this, Ni Mingyang’s face turned pale, and he quickened his pace.

No, I must move after I get back. If this guy comes looking for me, it definitely won’t be for anything good.

Back in his room.

Lin Fan opened the items he had received.

A bottle of pills in a white porcelain jar, a green robe, a pair of shoes, a long sword, an iron token, and a not-too-thick booklet…

And that was it.

“Consumption increases: Experience +100.”

Lin Fan counted them. There were thirty pills in total, probably given monthly.

Lin Fan poured all the pills out and stuffed them into his mouth, crunching them all down.

“Ding, experience +3000.”

It seems that taking pills to level up is a good strategy. But for now, I’m not very familiar with the ways here. I need to scout around properly.

Then Lin Fan picked up the robe issued by the sect, feeling it in his hands. Not bad, not bad. The material is reliable and smooth. But what’s this? Why is it split on both sides? Is this a cheongsam?

And it can be lifted from the back, saving the trouble of taking it off…

“Learn.”

Then Lin Fan’s mind was filled with many things he had never known before.

Not bad, not bad.

The next day.

Training ground.

The outer sect examination disciples gradually arrived at the training ground.

At the same time, these outer sect examination disciples all had joyful smiles on their faces, as if something pleasant had happened.

“Hey, Brother is smart to get rid of that monster. We won’t be bullied anymore.”

At this moment, the peerless handsome man standing in the crowd confidently smiled, “Just a small trick.”

“Brother is brilliant.”

“Brother is a cultured person, his mind is sharper than anyone else’s.”

The outer sect examination disciples around the peerless handsome man flattered him. And the peerless handsome man was enjoying the situation, smiling as brightly as a sunflower.

Early in the morning, Lin Fan quickly got up. The plan for the day lies in the morning; he couldn’t afford to be late because of oversleeping.

Since he had joined the outer sect, he needed to make good use of the current resources. These outer sect disciples were all untouched lambs, bleating softly, waiting for my invasion.

Lin Fan wore the green robe characteristic of outer sect disciples, tied the token to his waist, and walked out.

Now he needed to find the place where the outer sect disciples trained.

But when Lin Fan arrived at the scene, he was instantly dumbfounded.

What’s going on?

Where have all the outer sect disciples gone? The vast outer sect training ground was empty, with only a few people here and there. This was not what Lin Fan had imagined.

Under normal circumstances, shouldn’t the outer sect training ground be packed with people, all desperately training? Why is it like this now?

Does this mean I have to go back to the outer sect examination disciples?

Those guys can’t give me much experience anymore; it’s almost negligible.

Heavens, earth, are you going to let me waste away like this?

I want to train, I want to level up.

Lin Fan didn’t say anything, just stopped someone.

“Brother, why is there no one on the training ground?” Lin Fan asked very politely.

The person stopped by Lin Fan didn’t look too good. He carefully examined Lin Fan and, seeing the token on his waist, asked, “Are you a new outer sect disciple?”

“Yes,” Lin Fan nodded.

“The outer sect training ground is usually empty. All the brothers are training in their own residences,” the extra brother said, seeing that the junior brother’s attitude was quite good.

“So that’s how it is,” Lin Fan nodded. But this is a bit troublesome.

If they are all training in their rooms, what method can I use to lure them out? I need to think carefully.

But… for now, Lin Fan has something extremely important to do.

“Brother, how is your prestige among the outer sect disciples in the sect?” Lin Fan asked expectantly.

“Respected by all,” the extra brother said confidently, raising his head.

Lin Fan looked at him. He seemed a bit boastful, but it should be true.

“May I ask your name, brother?” Lin Fan asked.

“Han Lu,” Brother Han said, though he didn’t understand why the outer sect junior brother was asking this, he still told him.

“Brother Han, what do you think of me?” Lin Fan asked.

Han Lu looked at Lin Fan with confusion, his mind filled with thoughts. What does this junior brother want? I need to go to the Elder of Transmission to borrow a secret manual now. If I miss the time, I’ll regret it.

“This is our first meeting, it’s not appropriate for me to judge. If you have anything else, we can talk next time. I have something to do now, I need to leave,” Han Lu said hurriedly, as if he didn’t want to talk to Lin Fan anymore.

“Alright, brother, take care,” Lin Fan smiled slightly.

Han Lu nodded, then turned to leave.

“Brother, please wait,” Lin Fan spoke up at this moment.

“What?” Han Lu turned around in confusion.

But at the moment he turned, Lin Fan moved instantly.

“Monkey steals the peach…”

Lin Fan counted them. There were thirty in total. It seemed they were given monthly.

Lin Fan poured all the pills out and popped them into his mouth, gulping them down one after another.

“Brother Ni, did we come to the wrong place?” Lin Fan looked at the extremely plain building in front of him, then thought of Brother Meng’s luxurious residence. The contrast was stark.

“No, this is where the outer disciples live,” Ni Mingyang said with a smile. “Junior brother, work hard. In the path of cultivation, if you don’t advance, you fall behind. But you’re a genius; you’ll surely succeed.”

“Thank you, Brother Ni,” Lin Fan nodded. “Brother Ni, why is there such a big difference between this place and Brother Meng’s residence?”

“Junior brother, Brother Meng is one of the top ten outstanding geniuses among the outer disciples. Naturally, his treatment is different. But if you work hard, you’ll eventually enjoy the same treatment,” Ni Mingyang explained.

Lin Fan looked at Ni Mingyang and nodded. Wasn’t this just stating the obvious? With my abilities, just a little effort, and I could easily become one of the top ten outstanding geniuses. But for now, it’s better to keep a low profile and take things step by step.

“Brother Ni, how many outer disciples are there?” Lin Fan asked.

“Eight thousand eight hundred and eighty-eight,” Ni Mingyang replied.

Lin Fan was delighted. Eight thousand people? If I can mingle with them and gain experience, reaching the innate realm would be a piece of cake.

“Junior brother, what are you laughing about?” Ni Mingyang asked, puzzled by Lin Fan’s sudden laughter.

“Nothing, nothing. Brother, I’m a bit tired. I think I’ll go rest now,” Lin Fan said, planning to scout the area and prepare for his next big move.

“Alright, junior brother, rest well. I’ll take my leave now,” Ni Mingyang said.

“Brother, goodbye. I’ll come find you in a few days,” Lin Fan waved.

Ni Mingyang, who was about to leave, turned pale at these words and quickened his pace. No, I must move after I get back. If this guy comes looking for me, nothing good will come of it.

Back in his room, Lin Fan unpacked the items he had received: a bottle of pills in a white porcelain jar, a green robe, a pair of shoes, a long sword, an iron token, and a thin booklet. That was it.

Lin Fan sighed, feeling that the sect was a bit stingy. He poured out the pills from the white jar. They were white, about the size of soybeans.

“Ding, ‘Qi Nurturing Pills’ discovered.”

“Effect: When consumed by ordinary people, it enhances the flow of internal energy, strengthens the body, and refines the internal organs. Only one pill can be taken per day.”

“Consumption increases: Experience +100.”

Lin Fan counted them; there were thirty pills, likely a month’s supply. He poured them all out and swallowed them in one go.

“Ding, experience +3000.”

It seems that pill consumption is a good way to level up. But since I’m not yet familiar with the system, I need to gather more information.

Next, Lin Fan picked up the robe issued by the sect. It felt smooth and of good quality, but why was it slit on both sides? Was it a cheongsam? And it could be lifted from the back, saving the trouble of taking it off…

This…

At this moment, Lin Fan couldn’t help but have some naughty thoughts.

Then he picked up the long sword, weighed it in his hands, and found it to be just an ordinary sword. Useless. He tossed it aside.

“Ding, ‘Holy Demon Secrets’ discovered. Learn?”

“Learn.”

Suddenly, Lin Fan’s mind was filled with knowledge he had never known before. Not bad, not bad.

The next day, at the training ground.

Outer disciples gradually arrived, all wearing cheerful smiles as if something pleasant had happened.

“Hey, Brother is clever. He got rid of that monster. We won’t be bullied anymore.”

The peerless handsome man standing in the crowd smiled confidently. “Just a small trick.”

“Brother is brilliant.”

“Brother is cultured; his mind is sharper than anyone else’s.”

The outer disciples gathered around the peerless handsome man, flattering him. The man enjoyed the attention, smiling like a sunflower.

Early in the morning, Lin Fan quickly got up. The morning is the most important time of the day; he couldn’t afford to sleep in.

Now that he was an outer disciple, he needed to make good use of the resources. These outer disciples were like untouched lambs, waiting for his invasion.

Lin Fan, dressed in the green robe of an outer disciple with the token tied at his waist, walked out. He was looking for the place where the outer disciples trained.

But when he arrived, he was instantly dumbfounded.

What’s going on?

Where are all the outer disciples? The vast training ground was empty, with only a few people around. This wasn’t what Lin Fan had expected.

Normally, the training ground should be packed with people, all striving to cultivate. Why was it like this now?

Does this mean I have to go back to the outer disciple examination area?

Those guys can’t provide much experience anymore; it’s almost negligible.

Heavens, earth, are you going to let me waste away like this?

I want to cultivate; I want to level up.

Lin Fan stopped someone.

“Brother, why is the training ground so empty?” Lin Fan asked politely.

The person Lin Fan stopped looked at him, then noticed the token at his waist. “Are you a new outer disciple?”

“Yes,” Lin Fan nodded.

“The training ground is usually empty. Most of the brothers cultivate in their own residences,” the extra brother said, his tone softening as Lin Fan seemed polite.

“I see,” Lin Fan nodded. But this was troublesome. If they’re all cultivating in their rooms, how can I lure them out? I need to think carefully.

But for now, Lin Fan had something extremely important to do.

“Brother, how is your reputation among the outer disciples?” Lin Fan asked eagerly.

“Respected by all,” the extra brother said confidently, lifting his head.

Lin Fan sized him up. He seemed a bit arrogant, but he was probably telling the truth.

“May I know your name, brother?” Lin Fan asked.

“Han Lu,” the brother replied, though he didn’t understand why this outer disciple was asking.

“Brother Han, what do you think of me?” Lin Fan asked.

Han Lu looked at Lin Fan, puzzled. What is this junior brother up to? I need to go borrow a manual from the elder; if I miss the time, I’ll regret it.

“This is our first meeting; it’s hard to judge. If you have anything else, we can talk later. I have something urgent to attend to,” Han Lu said hurriedly, as if he didn’t want to waste any more time.

“Alright, brother, take care,” Lin Fan smiled.

Han Lu nodded and turned to leave.

“Brother, wait,” Lin Fan called out.

“What?” Han Lu turned around in confusion.

But at that moment, Lin Fan moved swiftly.

“Monkey Steals the Peach…”

It seemed that leveling up by taking pills would be a good method. However, he wasn’t too familiar with the system yet and needed to investigate more thoroughly.

Then Lin Fan picked up the robe issued by the sect, feeling it in his hands. Not bad, the fabric was reliable and smooth. But what was this? Why was it split on both sides? Was it a qipao?

And it could be lifted from behind, saving the trouble of taking it off…

This…

At this moment, Lin Fan couldn’t help but think lewd thoughts.

Then Lin Fan picked up the long sword, weighing it in his hands. It was just an ordinary sword, not particularly useful, so he tossed it aside.

“Brother Ni, did we come to the wrong place?” Lin Fan looked at the extremely plain building in front of him, and then thought of Brother Meng’s luxurious residence. They were completely polar opposites.

“No mistake, the residences of the outer sect disciples are all here,” Ni Mingyang said with a smile. “Junior brother, work hard. In the path of cultivation, if you don’t advance, you fall behind. But you’re a genius, you will surely succeed.”

“Thank you, Brother Ni,” Lin Fan nodded. “Brother Ni, why is there such a big difference between this residence and Brother Meng’s?”

“Junior brother, Brother Meng is one of the top ten outstanding genius disciples of the outer sect, so naturally, the treatment is a bit different. But as long as you work hard, you will surely receive the same treatment as Brother Meng in the future,” Ni Mingyang said.

Lin Fan looked at Ni Mingyang and nodded. Wasn’t this all just empty talk? With my abilities, just a little effort, and I could become one of the top ten outstanding genius disciples, just like collecting experience points.

But for now, it’s better to keep a low profile, take it step by step.

“Brother Ni, how many outer sect disciples are there?” Lin Fan asked.

“Eight thousand eight hundred and eighty-eight,” Ni Mingyang replied.

Hearing this, Lin Fan felt a surge of joy. With over eight thousand people, it seems like a stroll through the crowd, gathering experience points, and reaching the innate realm is a sure thing.

“Junior brother, what are you laughing about?” Ni Mingyang asked, puzzled by Lin Fan’s sudden chuckle.

“Nothing, nothing. Brother, I’m a bit tired, I think I’ll go rest now,” Lin Fan said, planning to scout the surroundings and prepare for a big move.

“Alright, junior brother, rest well. I’ll take my leave now,” Ni Mingyang said.

“Brother, goodbye. I’ll come find you in a few days,” Lin Fan waved.

Hearing this, Ni Mingyang’s face turned pale, and he quickened his pace.

No, I must move after I get back. If this guy comes looking for me, nothing good will come of it.

Back in his room.

Lin Fan opened the items he had received.

A bottle of pills in a white porcelain jar, a green robe, a pair of shoes, a long sword, an iron token, and a not-too-thick booklet…

And that was it.

Just these few things.

Lin Fan sighed, feeling that the sect was a bit stingy. He poured out the pills from the white jar.

White, the size of soybeans.

“Ding, discovered ‘Qi Nurturing Pills’.”

“Effect: Ordinary people can enhance the flow of internal energy, strengthen the body, and refine the internal organs. Can only take one pill a day.”

“Consumption increases: Experience +100.”

Lin Fan counted, thirty pills in total, probably given monthly.

Lin Fan poured all the pills out and swallowed them in one go.

“Ding, experience +3000.”

It seems that taking pills to level up is a good strategy, but I’m not yet familiar with the ropes, so I need to scout around properly.

Then Lin Fan picked up the sect-issued robe, felt it in his hands. Not bad, the material is reliable, very smooth. But what’s this? It’s split on both sides, is this a cheongsam?

And it can be lifted from the back, saving the trouble of taking it off…

This…

At this moment, Lin Fan couldn’t help but feel a bit wicked.

Then Lin Fan picked up the long sword, weighed it in his hands. Just an ordinary long sword, not useful, so he tossed it aside.

“Ding, discovered ‘Holy Demon Secrets’. Learn?”

“Learn.”

Then Lin Fan’s mind was filled with many things he had never known before.

Not bad, not bad.

The next day.

Training ground.

Outer sect assessment disciples gradually arrived at the training ground.

At the same time, these outer sect assessment disciples all had cheerful smiles on their faces, as if something pleasant had happened.

“Hey, Brother is smart, getting rid of that monster. We won’t be bullied anymore.”

At this moment, the peerless handsome man standing in the crowd confidently smiled, “Just a small trick.”

“Brother is brilliant.”

“Brother is a cultured person, his brain is better than anyone else’s.”

The surrounding outer sect assessment disciples gathered around the peerless handsome man, flattering him. And the peerless handsome man was also enjoying this situation, smiling as brightly as a sunflower.

Early in the morning, Lin Fan quickly got up. The plan of the day lies in the morning, can’t delay things because of sleeping in.

Since I’ve joined the outer sect, I must make good use of the current resources. These outer sect disciples are all untouched lambs, bleating softly, waiting for my invasion.

Lin Fan wore the outer sect disciple’s distinctive green robe, tied the token at his waist, and walked out.

Now he was looking for the place where the outer sect disciples trained.

But when Lin Fan arrived at the scene, he was instantly dumbfounded.

What’s going on?

Where have all the outer sect disciples gone? The huge outer sect training ground is empty, with only a few people here and there. This is not what Lin Fan had imagined.

Under normal circumstances, shouldn’t the outer sect training ground be packed with people, all desperately training? Why is it like this now?

Does this mean I have to go back to the outer sect assessment disciples?

Those guys can’t provide much experience anymore, almost negligible.

Heavens, earth, are you going to let me waste away like this?

I want to train, I want to level up.

Lin Fan didn’t say anything, just stopped someone.

“Brother, why is there no one on the training ground?” Lin Fan asked very politely.

The person stopped by Lin Fan didn’t look too good, carefully examined Lin Fan, and after seeing the token at his waist, asked, “Are you a new outer sect disciple?”

“Yes,” Lin Fan nodded.

“The outer sect training ground is usually empty, all the brothers are training in their own residences,” the extra brother said, seeing that the junior brother’s attitude was not bad, he also softened his tone.

“So that’s how it is,” Lin Fan nodded, but this is a bit troublesome.

If they’re all training indoors, what method should I use to lure them out? It seems I need to think carefully.

But… for now, Lin Fan has something extremely important to do.

“Brother, how is your prestige among the outer sect disciples in the sect?” Lin Fan asked with anticipation.

“Respected by all,” the extra brother said confidently, raising his head.

Lin Fan looked at him, a bit of arrogance, probably telling the truth.

“May I ask your name, brother?” Lin Fan asked.

“Han Lu,” Brother Han said, although he didn’t understand why the outer sect junior brother was asking this, he still told him.

“Brother Han, how do you think I am?” Lin Fan asked.

Han Lu looked at Lin Fan with confusion, his mind filled with thoughts. What does this junior brother want to do? I need to go to the Elder of Transmission to borrow a secret manual now, if I miss the time, I’ll regret it.

“This is our first meeting, it’s not appropriate to judge casually. If junior brother has anything else, we can talk next time. I have something to do now, I must leave first,” Han Lu said hurriedly, as if he didn’t want to talk to Lin Fan anymore.

“Alright, brother, take care,” Lin Fan smiled slightly.

Han Lu nodded, then turned to leave.

“Brother, please wait,” Lin Fan spoke up at this moment.

“What?” Han Lu turned around in confusion.

But at the moment he turned, Lin Fan moved instantly.

“Monkey Steals the Peach…”

“Brother Ni, did we come to the wrong place?” Lin Fan looked at the extremely plain building in front of him, and then thought of Brother Meng’s luxurious residence. The contrast was stark.

“No, this is where the outer sect disciples live,” Ni Mingyang said with a smile. “Junior brother, work hard. In the path of cultivation, if you don’t advance, you fall behind. But you’re a genius, so you’ll surely succeed.”

“Thank you, Brother Ni,” Lin Fan nodded. “Brother Ni, why is there such a big difference between this place and Brother Meng’s residence?”

“Junior brother, Brother Meng is one of the top ten outstanding geniuses of the outer sect, so naturally, his treatment is different. But if you work hard, you’ll eventually enjoy the same treatment,” Ni Mingyang said.

Lin Fan looked at Ni Mingyang and nodded. Wasn’t this just stating the obvious? With my abilities, if I put in a little effort, I could easily become one of the top ten outstanding geniuses.

But for now, it’s better to keep a low profile. Take it step by step.

“Brother Ni, how many outer sect disciples are there?” Lin Fan asked.

“Eight thousand eight hundred and eighty-eight,” Ni Mingyang replied.

Hearing this, Lin Fan felt a surge of joy. With over eight thousand people, if I can mingle with them and gain experience, reaching the innate realm will be a piece of cake.

“Junior brother, what are you laughing about?” Ni Mingyang asked, puzzled by Lin Fan’s sudden grin.

“Nothing, nothing. Brother, I’m a bit tired. I think I’ll go rest now,” Lin Fan said, planning to scout the surroundings and prepare for his next big move.

“Alright, junior brother, rest well. I’ll take my leave now,” Ni Mingyang said.

“Brother, goodbye. I’ll come find you in a few days,” Lin Fan waved.

Hearing this, Ni Mingyang’s face turned pale, and he quickened his pace. I must move out as soon as I get back. If this guy comes looking for me, nothing good will come of it.

Back in his room, Lin Fan unpacked the items he had received.

A bottle of pills in a white porcelain jar, a green robe, a pair of shoes, a longsword, an iron token, and a thin booklet…

That was it.

Lin Fan sighed, feeling that the sect was a bit stingy. He poured out the pills from the white jar.

They were white, about the size of soybeans.

“Ding, ‘Qi Nurturing Pill’ discovered.”

“Effect: Enhances the flow of internal energy, strengthens the body, and refines the internal organs. Can only take one pill per day.”

“Consumption increases: Experience +100.”

Lin Fan counted them; there were thirty pills in total, likely a monthly supply.

This…

At this moment, Lin Fan couldn’t help but feel a bit wicked.

Then he picked up the longsword, weighed it in his hands, and found it to be just an ordinary sword. Useless. He tossed it aside.

“Ding, ‘Holy Demon Secrets’ discovered. Learn?”

“Learn.”

Instantly, Lin Fan’s mind was filled with knowledge he had never known before.

Not bad, not bad.

The next day.

Training ground.

Outer sect examination disciples began to gather on the training ground.

All of them wore cheerful smiles, as if something delightful had happened.

“Hey, Brother is clever. He got rid of that monster. We won’t be bullied anymore.”

The peerless handsome man standing in the crowd smiled confidently. “Just a small trick.”

“Brother is brilliant.”

“Brother is cultured. His mind is sharper than anyone else’s.”

The outer sect examination disciples surrounded the peerless handsome man, flattering him. The peerless handsome man basked in the adoration, smiling as brightly as a sunflower.

Early in the morning, Lin Fan got up quickly. The morning is the best time for planning; he couldn’t afford to waste it by sleeping in.

Now that he was in the outer sect, he needed to make the most of the resources available. These outer sect disciples were like untouched lambs, bleating softly, waiting for his invasion.

Lin Fan put on the green robe distinctive of the outer sect disciples, fastened the token to his waist, and headed out.

His goal now was to find the place where the outer sect disciples trained.

But when Lin Fan arrived at the scene, he was instantly dumbfounded.

What’s going on?

Where have all the outer sect disciples gone? The vast training ground was empty, with only a few people scattered about. This was not what Lin Fan had imagined.

Under normal circumstances, the outer sect training ground should be packed with people, all striving to cultivate. Why was it like this now?

Does this mean I have to go back to the outer sect examination disciples?

Those guys can’t provide much experience anymore; they’re practically negligible.

Heavens, earth, are you going to let me waste away like this?

I want to cultivate. I want to level up.

Without saying a word, Lin Fan stopped someone.

“Brother, why is there no one on the training ground?” Lin Fan asked politely.

The person Lin Fan stopped didn’t look too well. He scrutinized Lin Fan and, upon seeing the token at his waist, asked, “Are you a new outer sect disciple?”

“Yes,” Lin Fan nodded.

“The outer sect training ground is usually empty. Most of the brothers cultivate in their own residences,” the extra brother said, his tone softening as he saw Lin Fan’s respectful attitude.

“I see,” Lin Fan nodded. But this was a bit troublesome.

If they’re all cultivating indoors, how can I lure them out? I need to think carefully about this.

But… for now, Lin Fan had something incredibly important to do.

“Brother, how is your reputation among the outer sect disciples?” Lin Fan asked eagerly.

“Respected by all,” the extra brother said confidently, lifting his head.

Lin Fan sized him up. He seemed a bit arrogant, but he was probably telling the truth.

“May I ask your name, brother?” Lin Fan inquired.

“Han Lu,” the brother replied, though he didn’t understand why this outer sect junior was asking.

“Brother Han, what do you think of me?” Lin Fan asked.

Han Lu looked at Lin Fan with confusion, his mind racing. What is this junior brother up to? I need to go borrow a manual from the Elder of Transmission soon. If I miss the time, I’ll regret it.

“This is our first meeting, so it’s hard to judge. If you have anything else to discuss, we can talk next time. I have something urgent to attend to now,” Han Lu said hurriedly, as if he didn’t want to waste another moment with Lin Fan.

“Alright, brother, take care,” Lin Fan said with a slight smile.

Han Lu nodded and turned to leave.

“Brother, wait,” Lin Fan called out.

“What?” Han Lu turned around in confusion.

But in that instant, Lin Fan moved.

“Monkey Steals the Peach…”

Then a lot of previously unknown information appeared in Lin Fan’s mind.

Not bad, not bad.

The next day.

At the martial arts training ground.

The outer sect disciples gradually arrived at the training ground.

The faces of these outer sect disciples were filled with joy, as if something pleasant had happened.

“Hey, still Senior Brother is smart, getting rid of this monster. We won’t be bullied anymore.”

At this moment, the peerless beauty standing in the crowd smiled confidently, “Just a small trick.”

“Senior Brother is brilliant.”

“Senior Brother is a cultured person, his mind is sharper than anyone else’s.”

The outer sect disciples surrounded the peerless beauty, flattering him. The peerless beauty was also enjoying this situation, smiling as brightly as a sunflower.

Early in the morning, Lin Fan got up briskly. The plan for the day should be made in the morning; he couldn’t afford to waste time sleeping in.

Now that he had entered the outer sect, he needed to make good use of the resources. These outer sect disciples were all unclaimed lambs, calling out softly, waiting for his invasion.

Wearing the distinctive light green robe of the outer sect disciples and attaching the token to his waist, Lin Fan walked outside.

Now, what he needed to find was the place where the outer sect disciples trained.

However, when Lin Fan arrived at the scene, he was instantly stunned.

What was going on.

Where had all the outer sect disciples gone? Why was the huge training ground empty, with only a few people around? This was completely different from what Lin Fan had imagined.

Under normal circumstances, shouldn’t the training ground be crowded with people, all striving to cultivate? Why was it like this now?

Was he going to have to return to the outer sect candidates?

Those guys wouldn’t give him much experience anymore; they could even be ignored.

Oh heavens, oh earth, did you want me to fall into decadence?

I want to cultivate, I want to level up.

Lin Fan didn’t say anything and directly stopped someone.

“Senior Brother, may I ask why there’s no one at the training ground?” Lin Fan asked politely.

The person stopped by Lin Fan didn’t look too pleased. He carefully examined Lin Fan and, after seeing the token at his waist, asked, “Are you a new outer sect disciple?”

“Yes,” Lin Fan nodded.

“The outer sect training ground is usually not crowded. Most senior brothers cultivate at their own residences,” the extra brother said, his tone softening a bit upon seeing the disciple’s polite attitude.

“I see,” Lin Fan nodded, though this did pose some difficulties.

If everyone was cultivating indoors, what method could he use to lure them out? He would have to think carefully about this.

But now… Lin Fan had an extremely important matter to attend to.

“Senior Brother, may I ask about your reputation among the outer sect disciples?” Lin Fan asked expectantly.

“Respected by all,” the extra brother said proudly.

Lin Fan looked him up and down. He seemed quite confident, so it was probably true.

“May I ask Senior Brother for your name?” Lin Fan asked.

“Han Lu,” the senior brother replied, though he didn’t understand why this outer sect junior was asking, he still answered.

“Han Senior Brother, what do you think of me?” Lin Fan asked.

Han Lu looked at Lin Fan with confusion, his mind racing. What was this junior brother trying to do? He had to go borrow some secret techniques from the transmission elder soon, and if he missed the time, he would regret it.

“I’ve just met you, Junior Brother, so I can’t give an arbitrary judgment. If you have anything else, we can talk about it another time. I have something urgent to attend to now and must take my leave first,” Han Lu said in a hurry, as if unwilling to say another word to Lin Fan.

“Alright, Senior Brother, take care,” Lin Fan smiled slightly.

Han Lu nodded and turned to leave.

“Senior Brother, please wait a moment,” Lin Fan called out at this moment.

“What?” Han Lu turned around in confusion.

But at the very moment he turned, Lin Fan suddenly moved.

“Monkey Steals the Peach…”
