Yang Fan was not a saint.
The reason why he dared to say such generous and benevolent words like that of a saint was because he was very confident that these disciples would not be willing to leave the Demon Extermination Sect and leave him, their awesome master.
Did they think that his charm skill was just for show?
Did they think that his sect loyalty, sect solidarity, and sect contribution points were all for show?
In Yang Fan's eyes, as long as they acknowledged him as their master, entered the sect, and their master-disciple relationship was completely established, these people would be branded with Yang Fan's mark for the rest of their lives. They would not be able to get rid of it easily.
Therefore, for Yang Fan, being able to trick Zhang Hongxin, Master Wufan, and the other half-step Emperors into the sect was the most important thing.
Once the master-disciple relationship was established, the raw rice would be cooked, and Yang Fan would not care about the original intention of these people to acknowledge him as their master.
Did they really think that Yang Fan did not know that among the 3,500 or so disciples he had accepted, almost 99% of them had acknowledged him as their master because they wanted to use his divine ability to break through to the next realm?
Everyone had their own selfish motives. If it were not for enough benefits, how could there be so many prodigies, peak Sovereigns, and even these half-step Emperors in front of him be willing to lower themselves to acknowledge a brat like Yang Fan as their master?
Even Yang Fan himself, if it were not for the benefits of taking in disciples and being able to indirectly farm all kinds of leveling up experience from his disciples, how could he work so hard and disregard his personal gains and losses to take in so many disciples?
In the end, it was just for each of them to take what they needed.
However, Yang Fan's selfishness was somewhat different. While fully benefiting himself, he would also bring endless benefits to his disciples. That was why he appeared so selfless and respected by others.
"Little friend Yang Fan is so open-minded. I admire you!"
"Immeasurable … Celestial Venerable! Scholar Yang Fan's words make this humble Taoist want to acknowledge him as his master! "
"Doctor Yang is righteous and has an extraordinary bearing. It is indeed admirable …"
"…"
The eight half-step Emperors were moved by Yang Fan's righteous speech. It was rare to see such a young man who was so thoughtful, had such a clear mind, and was wholeheartedly devoted to the public.
Although these words sounded a little fake, those who didn't know the situation would think that Yang Fan was just putting on a superficial show, playing tricks with empty words.
However, all the people who were familiar with Yang Fan knew that this child was extremely sincere. In fact, he treated his disciples so well that even these half-step Emperors were envious of him.
Looking at those disciples under Yang Fan, which one of them did not advance by leaps and bounds after becoming his disciple? Which one of them did not lack cultivation resources under Yang Fan's tutelage?
Not to mention other things, just in the past six months, almost eighty percent of the newly promoted Kings, Emperors, and even half-step Monarchs of the Human Federation were under Yang Fan's tutelage.
He provided resources, cultivation methods, and timely enlightenment so that his disciples could break through and advance at the fastest speed. However, he never asked for anything in return from his disciples. The only purpose of his tutelage was to kill all the Demon Clans in the world for the Human Federation.
With such a person and such a master, who would doubt that he was doing this for others?
If it was said that he cultivated batch after batch of Kings, Emperors, half-step Emperors, and even half-step Emperors for the Human Federation for selfish reasons, then Zhuge Xincheng, Tang Zhicheng, and the other half-step Emperors wished that everyone in the world could be as selfish as Yang Fan.
"Yang shi, are you looking down on us by saying those words?"
On the opposite side, Zhang Hongxin's face suddenly darkened. He raised his head and looked at Yang Fan in great dissatisfaction.
"I admit that I wanted to be Doctor Yang's tutelage because of my selfishness. I wanted to make use of Doctor Yang's talents to help I break through into the Emperor Realm. I did not really want to call you master willingly.
"However, no matter how selfish I was, I understood the principle that 'a teacher for a day is a father for life'. Now that I have become your tutelage and received the benefits that I wanted, I have to shoulder my responsibilities as a disciple of your tutelage!
"Otherwise, it would be an act of ingratitude, of treason and heresy, of betraying one's master and looking down upon one's ancestors, a disgrace to us!"
As expected of a researcher, Zhang Hongxin even threw out his son in the end.
"Yes, Doctor Yang." Shao Hanyun also added, "We are not children anymore. Naturally, we have to be responsible for our words and deeds. Since we have become your tutelage, we are truly master and disciple, father and son. How can we just take benefits without paying any price?"
"Amitabha!" Master Wufan also chanted Buddha's name softly and said, "Elder Zhang and Benefactor Shao are right. Becoming a tutelage is not child's play. Since we have made the decision to become your tutelage, we will never regret it!"
The other half-step Emperors also spoke up one after another.
These people were all old antiques who had lived for at least 150 years. They still valued the concept of master and disciple very much. They did not want to become ungrateful traitors who had betrayed their tutelage.
Yang Fan's gaze swept across the faces of these stubborn half-step Emperors one by one, and the smile on his face gradually rippled.
"I'm very gratified that all of you have such intentions."
"To be honest, if all of you really leave your tutelage when the time comes, although I won't blame or resent you, I'll definitely feel very uncomfortable in my heart."
"I'm not a saint, and I also have my own emotions. The reason why I said that just now is because all of you have contributed greatly to the Humans. Yang Fan doesn't want to force all of you too much."
"Now, I understand everyone's intentions. Since that's the case, let us master and disciple join hands and grow and improve together. Let's fight for the rise of the Humans' Federation together. We'll work hard to cultivate and kill all the Demons in the world!"
After saying that, Yang Fan glanced at An Sheng beside him. An Sheng instantly understood and quickly stood up as the chief disciple. He said to Zhang Hongxin, Master Wufan, and the others in a clear voice,
"Seniors, oh no, Junior Brothers and Junior Sisters, if you really want to become my tutelage, then you can start now!"
"You should be familiar with the ceremony of our Demon Extermination Sect. You only need to sincerely bow three times to Master and call him Master!"
An Sheng's voice was slightly excited.
Even though he was the chief disciple of the Demon Extermination Sect and had followed by Yang Fan's side and presided over countless ceremonies.
However, it was truly the first time he'd encountered a situation like today where all the people who were about to become Yang Fan's tutelage were Half-step Monarch Realm seniors who were capable of being his great-grandparents.
These were all great figures at the Ancestor Realm. He never expected that all of them would actually become Big Brother Fan's tutelage today. They were truly too prestigious!
Sang Duoduo, Ling Tian, and the others who stood behind An Sheng had rather complicated expressions on their faces, and they felt extremely dumbfounded.
Especially Sang Duoduo, she was dumbstruck as she watched her own mother about to become Master's tutelage. In the future, they would have to address each other as Senior Sister, and this caused her heart to feel extremely sour and excited.
What was this? Mother and daughter becoming the tutelage of the same master at the same time? My mother!
Actually, Sang Duoduo wasn't the only one who'd encountered such a situation.
Amongst the disciples under Yang Fan, there weren't just mother and daughter, there were also father and son, and there were even countless grandparents and great-grandchildren.
But so what?
In order to break through, in order to possess greater strength, in order to deal with the ultimate battle between humans and demons that was very likely to occur, there weren't many people who would deliberately care about these things.
In this chaotic world, survival was their number one priority. What they cared about was only Yang Fan, and only breaking through!
As for the rest, they were all trivial matters, and there was no need to be too serious about them.
"Disciple Zhang Hongxin greets Master!"
"Disciple Wu Fan greets Master!"
"Disciple Shao Hanyun greets Master!"
"..."
Very quickly, among the half-step Emperors from the Federal Center City, other than Tang Zhicheng and the others who had successfully broken through to become half-step Emperors, the other thirteen people, as well as Fang Baiyue from the Huai Hua Fang Clan, all bowed and paid their respects, entering Yang Fan's tutelage.
"Ding!" Congratulations to the host for taking in a disciple. The half-step Emperor Zhang Hongxin has successfully taken in a master. It has been detected that the half-step Emperor Zhang Hongxin's relationship with the host is in a state of extreme affinity. The favorability has been greatly increased, and the sect's loyalty has increased by 70. "
"Ding! Congratulations to the host for taking in a disciple. The half-step Emperor Master Wu Fan has successfully taken in a master. It has been detected that the half-step Emperor Master Wu Fan's relationship with the host is in a state of extreme affinity. The favorability has been greatly increased, and the sect's loyalty has increased by 80. "
"Ding! Congratulations to the host for taking in a disciple. The half-step Emperor Shao Hanyun has successfully taken in a master … "
"..."
"Ding, ding, ding, ding!" The system notifications continued to ring in Yang Fan's ears. At this point, a total of fourteen disciples had successfully entered the tutelage, and their cultivations had all reached the peak of the half-step Emperor Realm.
Yang Fan was secretly delighted. He forcefully resisted the urge to try and see if these peak half-step Emperors could directly break through to the next realm. According to the usual practice, he began to distribute the gifts.
Everyone received three Soul Refining Golden Pills that corresponded to their current realm, as well as some other cultivation resources such as spirit medicines and spirit liquids. First, they would farm the corresponding sect's experience.
"Thank you, Master!"
"Thank you, Master!"
The fourteen of them held the top-grade cultivation resources that Yang Fan had bestowed upon them. They bowed and expressed their gratitude at the same time, and they were extremely excited in their hearts.
When they saw how Yang Fan had bestowed such generous gifts to other cultivators when he accepted them as his disciples, they were extremely envious. They felt that Yang Fan was being too generous, and he was simply being prodigal.
They never expected that they would actually have the opportunity to personally receive Yang Fan's gifts so soon and personally experience Yang Fan's boundless wealth.
This feeling was truly wonderful!
"Ding! Your disciple, Zhang Hongxin, is extremely excited because he has been bestowed with top-grade cultivation resources. He is grateful to you, and his sense of belonging to the sect has greatly increased. His sect's loyalty has greatly increased. Sect's loyalty has increased by 10. "
"Ding! Your disciple, Shao Hanyun, is extremely excited because he has been bestowed with top-grade cultivation resources. He is grateful to you, and his sense of belonging to the sect has greatly increased … "
"Ding! Your disciple, Fang Baiyue, is extremely excited because he has been bestowed with top-grade cultivation resources. He is grateful to you, and his sense of belonging to the sect has greatly increased …. "
The corners of Yang Fan's mouth held a smile. He gazed at these fourteen peak half-step Monarch Realm disciples with extreme satisfaction, and he didn't feel pained at all when he gave away these precious resources.
Because he was very clearly aware that no matter how many resources he gave away now, those resources would be converted into the corresponding amount of cultivation experience that would be returned to him.
In Yang Fan's opinion, taking disciples and gifting treasures were all part of his cultivation. He wished for nothing more than to be able to take a few more disciples every single day and give away a few more cultivation resources!
