Among the crowd, Liu Yue's face was filled with resentment. How can this guy be so lucky? Seeing how Lin Fan climbed up the ladder, she was burning with anger.
If she didn't have any conflict with him, she might have taken the initiative to climb up the ladder.
After all, Lin Fan's master was Elder Tian Xu, one of the top elders in the sect. He was powerful and had a high status.
But Lin Fan humiliated her in front of everyone and even wanted to hammer her to death. The hatred was already formed.
Liu Ruochen's state of mind was calm. "Looks like he still knows how laughable it is to give up on such a great gift. Now that he's able to turn back, he's tactful enough. However, if he thinks that he'll soar to the skies from now on, then he's really thinking too much. In the end, he still has to rely on himself.
"Elder Sister, he's already Elder Tian Xu's direct disciple, so he'll definitely be extraordinary in the future. It's only a matter of time before he becomes a pillar of the sect. With Elder Tian Xu's strength, it's not impossible for him to establish the eleventh peak." Liu Yue's eyebrows twitched.
Liu Ruochen did not answer, but stared at Liu Yue. "I brought you out of the clan and brought you to the sect to show you the wider world, not to let you use my reputation to stir up trouble outside. If there's a next time, I won't forgive you."
Liu Yue was most afraid of her sister. She shuddered. "I understand, Elder Sister."
Liu Ruochen did not say anything else. "There are only ten peaks in the sect. It's not enough to open up the eleventh peak with just status. What you need is strength."
"Fighting for the position of Patriarch is suicidal without strength. Even with Elder Tian Xu's help, it's useless. Do you think the other elders will tolerate this?"
"There are strong enemies outside and troubles inside. How can the position of Patriarch be coveted so easily?"
Liu Yue did not say anything else. She knew that her sister was ambitious. She had always wanted to open up the eleventh peak, but her cultivation was not high enough. It was just like looking for the moon at the bottom of the sea.
But she knew that a religious brother of the Saint Convent Sect had taken a liking to her sister. It was just that her sister was too proud and rejected his good intentions.
She had seen the religious brother before. He was a peerless talent. When he came to the Magnificent Flame Sect, even the Patriarch came out to receive him personally. It was obvious that he had a high status.
If she was the older sister, she would definitely not reject the offer. She would become the Holy Son's partner, and from then on, no one would dare to act presumptuously toward her.
Even if Lin Fan had Elder Tian Xu's protection, it was useless. Lin Fan still had to kneel. This was the difference between status and strength.
Jun Wutian didn't participate in the apprenticeship ceremony because he didn't want to see that fellow. He was afraid that he wouldn't be able to control himself and kill him.
As for the other Peak Leaders, some of them were not in the sect, and some of them were just observing without saying anything.
For people of their status, even a small action could set off a storm.
Perhaps to them, Lin Fan wouldn't be a threat even if he became Elder Tian Xu's disciple.
Which of the ten peaks didn't have an elder supporting them? Elder Tian Xu remained neutral and didn't support any of them.
At the same time, the apprenticeship ceremony wasn't a big deal to them. Even if Lin Fan were to offend them in the future, they would let it go on account of Elder Tian Xu.
However, to them, Jun Wutian might look domineering on the surface, but for the sake of becoming the patriarch, he had to be careful not to offend Elder Tian Xu.
How cowardly.
…
The apprenticeship ceremony was over.
The crowd dispersed.
As for Lin Fan, he left with Elder Tian Xu.
To Lin Fan, the benefits were coming. But he didn't expect Elder Tian Xu to be serious about taking him in as his disciple. He even swore to the heavens and earth.
What else can I do?
Since you're serious, bring it on. Do you think I'm afraid?
I, Lin Fan, am not a cruel and unscrupulous person. I'll be nice to whoever treats me well, and whoever dares to be rude to me will be smashed into meat paste.
This is how life is supposed to be.
Only Lin Fan and Elder Tian Xu could be seen at the cliff.
Lin Fan didn't speak, but he spoke to his teacher instead. After all, at this moment, it was usually the elder who spoke first to give him advice.
Indeed!
Elder Tian Xu, who had his hands behind his back, stared into the distance. "Disciple, some elders said that I was being too casual when I took you in as my direct disciple, and some said that I shouldn't have done this …." Elder Tian Xu stared into the distance with his hands behind his back.
Lin Fan listened quietly and thought to himself, 'Am I that bad?'
"Master, then why did you take me in as your disciple?" Lin Fan acted very calm. I'll put aside all the cursing in my heart for now. If I have the chance in the future, I'll definitely spar with those elders who bad-mouthed me.
"Because when I first laid eyes on you, I saw the brilliance radiating from your body."
Hearing this, Lin Fan could no longer remain calm. He looked around himself. To think that there were bright spots on my body. Was it because I was too dazzling that I unintentionally gave off an incredible aura?
Following which, Elder Tian Xu said, "Common eyes can only see what's in front of you, but the eyes of wisdom can see everything. The source and the essence cannot escape from it …."
"Master doesn't expect you to surpass the peak. I only hope that you can reach the corner of the peak."
Lin Fan felt that Elder Tian Xu's words were right in his heart. But suddenly, he felt that something was wrong. Are you praising me, or are you praising yourself?
This is a little shameless.
Elder Tian Xu must have been praising Lin Fan earlier to pave the way. Now that the pave was over, Gao Chao was here, praising himself. Lin Fan was very familiar with this turn of events.
But you're my master, so whatever you say is right. I'll listen. As long as you give me something good, I'll be fine.
"Master, you're right." Lin Fan said.
Elder Tian Xu nodded, satisfied. "Since you've already acknowledged me as your Master, I shall not make things difficult for you. Take these skillsets and study them. Feel free to ask me if you have any questions." Elder Tian Xu nodded, satisfied.
Lin Fan was overjoyed. Finally, the main point is here.
"You're already in the Earth Star Border Stage Two, and your foundation is very stable. Take this bottle of pills and consume one every day. Come back after a month to collect them."
"And this Earth-middle class weapon. I used it when I was young, and it has been with me for decades. It hasn't been used for a long time, so it has been quiet for a long time."
"It might not be of a high grade, but it carries the glory and time of Master's life."
A long spear pierced through the air.
Elder Tian Xu caressed the spear reluctantly, as if he was reminiscing about his youth.
"Master, disciple has something to say." Lin Fan said. "I don't use a spear for this weapon. I use a mace, but it was broken last time. Please help me fix it, Master."
Lin Fan took out the mace. Elder Tian Xu was taken aback by how explosive it looked. In the end, he sighed helplessly.
"Alright. Since you have your own path to walk, Master will fix it for you."
The mace flew out of Lin Fan's hand and landed in Elder Tian Xu's hand. "Its grade is a little low." Elder Tian Xu then threw the mace into the air. A mysterious force enveloped the mace and turned it into its most basic existence.
Lin Fan was looking forward to it. I wonder how different it will be after Master refine it for me.
Crack!
A crisp sound could be heard.
Lin Fan was dumbfounded.
Without any hesitation, Master threw the spear into the air and smelted it. There was no hesitation in the process.
"Isn't this spear your old friend? What a vicious move. "Lin Fan cursed in his heart.
However, Lin Fan's eyes were still fixed on the situation in the air. The two different materials continued to merge and gradually formed a new mace. It was much more majestic than the previous one. The silver surface of the mace shone brightly under the scorching sun.
"Eh? I've reached my limit. There are still some materials left. What should I do?" Elder Tian Xu asked.
"Master, can you help me refine a frying pan with the remaining materials?" Lin Fan said without hesitation.
"Frying pan???" Elder Tian Xu was confused.
Under Lin Fan's gestures, Elder Tian Xu finally understood. But he was still confused. What kind of weapon is this?
When he held the two weapons in his hands, he could feel the boundless energy contained in them.
With a frying pan in his left hand and a mace in his right, who could withstand a combo?
Seeing that Lin Fan was satisfied with his disciple, Elder Tian Xu nodded. "Alright, go back and cultivate well. Master will take his leave first."
"Wait …." Lin Fan stopped Elder Tian Xu immediately.
Elder Tian Xu was confused. He did not know what his disciple wanted. But after giving it some thought, Lin Fan might want to thank his master.
But there's no need for that. This is what a master should do, after all.
"Teacher, a few of these cultivation techniques aren't suitable for me. Can I change them to something else?" Lin Fan felt that these cultivation techniques were too light and unpredictable, and he felt that they weren't satisfying enough.
Hearing this, Elder Tian Xu's heart sank. My disciple is not easy to deal with.
Heaven and Earth, can I break the contract?
