“Senior Lan, if you become my disciple, wouldn’t that mess up our seniority?” Mo Tianxiao looked at Lan Qin. “I’m only a junior at the Dao Master Realm. Even if I accepted you as my disciple, no one would believe it if word got out.”
Lan Qin waved her hand dismissively. “What’s the big deal? As long as you agree, I’ll immediately announce it to the entire Feather Spirit Tribe. From now on, I, Lan Qin, will be your disciple! Who would dare object?”
A disciple at the Dominion Realm...
It was impossible to say he wasn’t tempted. In the territory of another race, having a Dominion Realm cultivator backing him would greatly improve his safety.
The Eye of Survey focused on Lan Qin, and a line of information appeared before him.
【Name: Lan Qin
Cultivation: Lower Dominion Realm, Perfection Stage
Fortune Level: Red
Profile: An elder of the Feather Spirit Tribe who is obsessed with artifact refinement and possesses considerable talent in the field.】
The Dominion Realm was divided into the Lower Dominion Realm, Middle Dominion Realm, and Upper Dominion Realm. Each realm was further divided into the early, middle, late, and perfection stages.
At the Dominion Realm, the gap in strength between even two minor stages was enormous.
Lan Qin was a powerful cultivator at the perfection stage of the Lower Dominion Realm. Her strength was not to be underestimated. What was more, she had reached such a level despite being deeply immersed in artifact refinement.
That was enough to show that Lan Qin was worth investing in, whether in terms of cultivation talent or talent in artifact refinement.
Mo Tianxiao pondered for a moment before finally agreeing. “Since you’ve put it that way, Senior, it would be wrong of me to refuse.”
“You agreed!”
Joy immediately blossomed across Lan Qin’s face.
“From now on, I’ll call you Master, and you can call me... Lan Qin? Or Little Qin is fine too. Whatever you like.”
Lan Qin didn’t care in the slightest about the form of address. Instead, she eagerly grabbed Mo Tianxiao and began discussing the Dao of artifact refinement with him.
“Master, hurry up and tell me how many artifact-refining techniques you know! I want to broaden my horizons!”
Seeing how quickly Lan Qin had slipped into her new role, Mo Tianxiao didn’t bother being coy. He rose to his feet, clasped his hands behind his back, and began pacing around the cave dwelling.
“Your master knows far too many artifact-refining techniques to count. There’s nothing you can’t see—only things you haven’t thought of.”
“Since I’ve decided to accept you as my disciple, I’ll naturally pass on every bit of my artifact-refining expertise to you.”
Lan Qin stared at him with eager anticipation and nodded repeatedly. “Master, hurry up and tell me! I want to hear everything!”
【You have tricked and conned a Dominion Realm disciple into joining you. This defies the natural order and conforms to villainous behavior. Villain Points +1,000,000!】
The system’s notification filled Mo Tianxiao with energy. This disciple was absolutely worth taking—what an excellent decision!
“Little Qin, today your master will tell you all about these one thousand and eighty-one supreme artifact-refining techniques!”
......
“What did you say?!”
In the room where Mo Tianxiao rested, Liya and Xuan Bingji stared at him with wide eyes, their faces filled with disbelief, as if they had just heard something utterly impossible.
Liya gripped Mo Tianxiao’s arm and asked again, “You said Elder Lan became your disciple? You’re now Elder Lan’s master in artifact refinement?!”
Mo Tianxiao slowly removed Liya’s hands from his arm and calmly replied, “Don’t get so worked up. Rest assured, I’ll definitely teach Little Qin everything I know. I won’t hold anything back.”
“You’re calling Elder Lan Little Qin?!”
For a moment, Liya found it impossible to understand. Had the rules of the world changed while she was asleep?
Something as absurd as a Dao Master Realm cultivator accepting a Dominion Realm powerhouse as his disciple had actually happened!
“No, I have to ask Mother and Elder Lan whether this is true!”
Although Liya could sense that everything Mo Tianxiao had said was true, she still couldn’t believe it. Was she crazy, or had the entire world gone mad?
Liya hurriedly left. Xuan Bingji, meanwhile, stopped pretending to be polite with Mo Tianxiao. Crossing her arms over her chest, she looked at him coldly and asked, “Explain. What exactly happened?”
Mo Tianxiao sat down in a chair and patted his thigh. “Come sit here. I’ll explain it slowly.”
Xuan Bingji’s face flushed slightly. She glared at Mo Tianxiao and muttered, “You lecher.”
Though her lips protested, her body obediently moved over and sat down.
Wrapping her arms around Mo Tianxiao’s neck, Xuan Bingji spoke in a haughty tone. “Go on. I want to hear the whole story.”
Mo Tianxiao gently squeezed her cool, slender waist and said seriously, “It happened like this...”
After hearing Mo Tianxiao recount the entire sequence of events, Xuan Bingji still found it difficult to believe.
“I never thought Elder Lan would be so obsessed with artifact refinement. No wonder her attainments in the field are so profound.”
Xuan Bingji stared at Mo Tianxiao with a puzzled look and asked curiously, “What’s going on with you, exactly? You’re clearly only a Dao Master Realm cultivator, so how do you know so much?”
Mo Tianxiao chuckled. “With a man like me, you should be secretly celebrating.”
“Showing off!”
Looking at Mo Tianxiao’s shameless expression, Xuan Bingji couldn’t help reaching out and poking him on the head.
“Still, being able to take Elder Lan as your disciple really is an incredible stroke of luck. At the very least, your safety is now guaranteed.”
Xuan Bingji understood all too well what status humans held in the territories of other races. Not everyone could live among another race’s forces as comfortably as Mo Tianxiao did in his own home.
“Creak.”
Just then, the door was suddenly pushed open, startling Xuan Bingji into instantly leaving Mo Tianxiao’s embrace.
“What are you two doing?”
Liya looked at their unnatural expressions, her eyes filled with suspicion.
She came over to the two of them and slowly circled around them, carefully examining their faces. “Tell me! Are you two hiding something from me?”
“N-No, we’re not. What could we possibly be hiding from you?”
Xuan Bingji’s eyes darted about as she looked away unnaturally.
If Liya found out that she, who had always looked down on the other races, had gotten involved with a human, wouldn’t her entire image be ruined?
No. She absolutely couldn’t let Liya find out about this.
Liya’s eyes filled with suspicion. “Oh, Bingji, you’re actually trying to deceive even me? Have you forgotten about my ability? Lying to me is useless! Confess everything right now!”
“Ahem. All right, Liya, Xuan and I were discussing... techniques.”
Mo Tianxiao spoke up to explain.
“Discussing knowledge?”
Liya looked at Mo Tianxiao, judging whether he was telling the truth. Since he wasn’t lying, it seemed the two of them really had been discussing knowledge behind her back.
“Oh, if you were discussing knowledge, then so be it. You didn’t have to hide it from me. In fact, I’ll join you.”
Liya hadn’t noticed anything unusual. After all, Mo Tianxiao had already figured out how her ability worked.
“Of course. I still have some questions about cultivation myself. I’ll ask the two of you for some guidance.”
Liya patted Mo Tianxiao on the shoulder and said generously, “Brother Mo, there’s no need to be so polite between us.”
“Now that Elder Lan has become your disciple, strictly speaking, I ought to call you Senior Mo.”
“Senior Mo, it’s a pleasure to meet you!”
Liya’s exaggerated antics made both Xuan Bingji and Mo Tianxiao burst out laughing.
“All right, all right. Let’s each use whatever form of address we like.”

I chose to become the personal henchman of the ultimate villain, Su Muwan. I provoke all sorts of chosen ones, snatch away their opportunities, and commit every evil deed imaginable. You ask who's behind me? Hmph! You're not worthy of knowing my lady's name! ...... ....... I am Su Muwan, the eldest daughter of the Su family. Since childhood, I've possessed extraordinary talent in martial arts, which led to my arrogant and domineering personality in my past life. I was even foolish enough to repeatedly challenge those favored by heaven, ultimately resulting in a tragic death. In this life, I must behave and absolutely cannot walk the same path again!! However... SLAP!! "So you're the Dragon King, huh?!" When I saw my little lackey swagger over and viciously slap the Dragon King who was hiding his identity, I felt my heart sink. Su Muwan's suspended heart finally died as she watched Qin Luo, her utterly loyal lackey, standing before her. She fainted on the spot from shock. Heaven is determined to destroy me!!

nd fell into a coma while saving his younger sister from an out-of-control car. He became a vegetable. No one knew that his consciousness had crossed into a world of cultivation. Over the course of sixty years, he began as the lowest kind of mine slave, struggling to survive amid mountains of corpses and seas of blood. By sheer chance, he eventually obtained the complete memories of a fallen Immortal King. Alchemy, medicine, formations, feng shui, physiognomy, artifact forging… Every great inheritance of the cultivation world was now his. But when he opened his eyes again, he discovered that ten full years had passed in the modern world. To pay for his treatment, his father had sold the family’s shop and house, leaving himself covered in lasting injuries and illness. His mother had cared for him day and night, and more than half of her hair had already turned white. His younger sister, who had been only fifteen back then, was now twenty-five. To help repay the family’s debts, she had been forced to lower her head and put on a smiling face in places of glittering lights and endless revelry. Only then did Chen Xuan understand that what he had lost was not merely ten years. He had lost the life his entire family was meant to have. The good news was that he had brought back the memories of an Immortal King’s entire lifetime. The bad news was that his soul had returned alone—his cultivation had not come with him. Spiritual energy was scarce, resources were depleted, and the modern world still had firearms, surveillance, capital, and laws. If he wanted to protect his family, break free from everyone’s control, and become truly invincible beneath the heavens, he would have to start all over again.

The host has been detected facing a life-or-death crisis. The system is now officially activated!] [As a gift, you have received the Supreme Beginner’s Pack and awakened the ultimate cheat: ten thousand years of pure cultivation essence every second!] Yin Tianjue: “Wait… ten thousand years of cultivation every second? That’s six hundred thousand years a minute, and in one day… I can’t even calculate it. Either way, I’m already invincible!” You’re a peerless prodigy rarely seen in ten thousand years? Sorry, I gain ten thousand years of cultivation every second. You’re an undying ancestor who has guarded a sacred land for countless ages? Sorry, I gain ten thousand years of cultivation every second. You’re the strongest chosen one, blessed with heaven-defying destiny? Sorry, I gain ten thousand years of cultivation every second. From this day forth, I have only one thing to say: “I gain ten thousand years of cultivation every second. Now, how exactly are you supposed to deal with that?”
