At this moment, outside.
Zhang Ergou's clothes were torn and tattered, and his face was swollen as he cried. Snot and tears ran down his face. Feng Bujue stood to the side, and he was also furious.
"Senior Brother, who hit you? Junior Brother will go and avenge you." How could Feng Bujue tolerate this? Senior Brother Ergou had always been kind to him. Usually, whenever he had something good to eat, he would give it to him.
Now that Senior Brother Ergou had returned from the mountain in such a state, Feng Bujue was furious.
But now, Zhang Ergou was ignoring Feng Bujue. Instead, he was bawling his eyes out. Tears glistened in his beady eyes, and they flowed out like a river.
At this moment, Lin Fan came out of the house. The deafening cries outside made Lin Fan feel extremely helpless. He didn't know what was going on, but the moment he stepped out of the door, he heard a loud cry.
Suddenly, he realized that Zhang Ergou was hugging his thigh and crying loudly.
"Oh, Grandmaster! Your disciple is useless! Just as I was descending the mountain, I was beaten up by someone!"
"Your disciple has always followed the teachings of the Grandmaster to be unyielding and unforgiving. However, the other party's strength is way too high, and your disciple's strength is meager. I'm not a match for him at all! Your disciple has let down the expectations of the Grandmaster!" Zhang Ergou lamented miserably. His sorrowful wails made Lin Fan feel a little sad for him.
In particular, Zhang Ergou's tragic expression was even more chilling.
"Don't cry. Tell me, what happened?" Lin Fan asked.
Zhang Ergou wiped his tears, and his voice gradually turned from crying to choking.
"Sect Master, your disciple went down the mountain today to look for some ingredients to cook a sumptuous dinner for you. But who would have thought that the moment I left the mountain, I would bump into an evil tyrant from the service disciple group that I used to be in. He was bullying a junior sister. Your disciple has always remembered the teachings of Sect Master, to fight against evil forces bravely and not fear evil. Therefore, even though your disciple knew that my cultivation base was inferior to the other party, I still stood out. But in the end … in the end …"
"Wah … Disciple pleads for Patriarch to master this disciple's peerless martial arts. In the future, this disciple will be able to carry on Patriarch's teachings, help more people, and eradicate more evil." Zhang Ergou cried out.
"Tell me the truth." Lin Fan narrowed his eyes at Zhang Ergou.
Zhang Ergou was stunned for a moment. Looking at the Grand Master's doubtful gaze, he sniffled twice and said, "Grand Master, back when I was a servant, I offended an evil tyrant amongst the servant disciples. Today, when I was heading down the mountain for a stroll, I accidentally bumped into him and was beaten up. Your disciple was indignant about it, and had initially wanted Junior Brother to help me teach him a lesson. But I thought that Junior Brother is a righteous person, and would definitely not bully the weak with his strength. Therefore, your disciple wishes for Grand Master to teach your disciple some ultimate skills of the sect, so that your disciple can take his revenge."
"Hmm, not bad. At least you are honest." Lin Fan nodded his head. How could he not know of Zhang Ergou's character? Being beaten up was a normal thing. If he didn't get beaten up, that would be weird.
"Grand Master, are you prepared to teach your disciple a few skills?" Zhang Ergou sneaked a peek at Grand Master. That expectant gaze of his seemed to have seen through Lin Fan.
Zhang Ergou hoped to receive pointers, and Feng Bujue was no fool. Naturally, he hoped to receive pointers from Grand Master as well. Hence, both of them stared at Lin Fan eagerly.
Lin Fan looked at the expectant gazes of the both of them and sighed helplessly. Since these two had been accepted into the sect, one was a Big Senior Brother and the other was a Second Senior Brother. If the sect were to grow stronger in the future, it wouldn't make sense for these two to remain so weak.
Alright then, he would teach them the sect's famed ultimate skill.
He could only hope that these two would not bring shame to this ultimate skill.
"Follow me in." Lin Fan turned around and walked into the house.
Upon hearing that Grand Master had agreed to it, the both of them followed him in excitedly.
...
Not long after, when Zhang Ergou walked out, that bitter look on his face was gone. Instead, he puffed out his chest and was filled with confidence.
Zhang Ergou's deep eyes gazed at the Heavens and Earth. He could feel that he had undergone an earth-shattering change before and after he entered the house.
This was a leap in quality. This was the rise of his personality.
He was no longer the Zhang Ergou of the past.
Zhang Ergou memorized every single word that Grand Master had said.
"Grand Master will teach you four ultimate skills. These are the ultimate skills that Grand Master has comprehended through countless trials and tribulations. These four ultimate skills encompass the Dao of life, the Dao of Yin and Yang, and the beauty of human nature. I hope that you can put them to good use."
Towards these profound words from Grand Master, Zhang Ergou could proudly say that he had already comprehended a layer of it. Once he could comprehend all of it, he could guarantee that he would become a true unparalleled expert.
"Senior Brother, I feel that there's something wrong with the four ultimate skills that Grand Master has imparted to us." Feng Bujue asked suspiciously.
Zhang Ergou, who was in a state of excitement, squinted his eyes at Feng Bujue, "What do you know? Your Senior Brother here has just comprehended how terrifying the four skills that Grand Master has imparted to us are. Junior Brother, you should take your time to comprehend them. Your Senior Brother here shall head back to cultivate first."
Zhang Ergou did not say anything more and went back happily.
'Monkey Steals Peaches', 'Black Tiger Steals Heart', 'Balls Kicking', 'Titanium Grade Demon Body'.
To Zhang Ergou, each of these skills was crazier than the other. Especially if he could comprehend the Dao of life from Grand Master, who else could be his match?
"Haha..."
Looking at Senior Brother Ergou laughing as he returned to his house, Feng Bujue could only shake his head and sigh. Returning alone, he was prepared to do some research. Could it really be as terrifying as Senior Brother had described?
Night time …
Glory Sect returned to its peaceful state.
"Hehe, Danding Peak, Yours Truly is here again." In the darkness, the invisible Lin Fan let out a sly laugh.
Other than being used by the elders of Glory Sect to cultivate pills, the rest of the herbs on Danding Peak were either sold or given as rewards for completing missions.
Last time, Lin Fan also felt that he had stolen a bit too much. Although those three herbs weren't any precious herbs, it was still a heavy sin to dig up almost all the herbs from the other party's place.
Therefore, this time around, Lin Fan had thought it through. As long as he took a little of everything, it would not be a problem.
Just as Lin Fan was about to step into the herb garden, a silver light flashed in front of him, scaring Lin Fan so much that he retracted his feet immediately.
"F * ck, Danding Peak has become smart. They know how to set a trap." Lin Fan squatted down and took a closer look. The entrance was wrapped in a silver thread, and at the other end of the silver thread, there were bells. And there were quite a few of them.
If he had not seen it and stepped in directly, the ringing of the bells would definitely have woken up the Danding Peak disciples.
"Sigh, how devious." Lin Fan shook his head helplessly. These disciples were too devious. They were not at all as open and aboveboard as Yours Truly.
With a light leap, Lin Fan landed in the herb garden.
PS: I've said it before. One of the supporting characters' names is a cameo given by a book friend, and the other is a name I found on Baidu. I've never even read that book before. How dare you accuse me of plagiarizing someone else's style. I've already explained, but you still won't let it go. Alright, idiots on QQ, please come to Qidian and scold me.
