Taking on Disciples

He looked at Lin Dayou again and suddenly felt that he truly lived up to being the father of a sect master!

This sect master's father must be the kind described in storybooks: ordinary in appearance, but actually a mighty figure capable of turning clouds into rain with a flip of his hand.

Although this senior looked to be only in his thirties, he must surely be an existence who had witnessed the seas change into mulberry fields!

Despite his noble status, he dressed so plainly. He must have grown tired of a life of great winds and waves, and was deliberately experiencing the life of a mortal.

Blending into this small village as a mortal, pursuing the lofty realm of the Great Dao being simple!

As Liao Pantu expected, Mo Yuanjiao immediately gave Lin Dayou a deep bow and said:

"I earnestly request Senior to accept me as a disciple! Don't look at my young age, I can endure a lot of hardship!"

After knowing what this child was here for, Lin Dayou, who knew he was only at a realm not even reaching the second level of Qi Refining, how could he dare to take a disciple himself? He immediately waved his hand and refused.

Who knew that when Mo Yuanjiao saw Lin Dayou refuse, he only thought he hadn't shown enough sincerity, so he redoubled his efforts and launched an even more fanatical request to become his disciple.

Lin Dayou, who was usually very imposing in front of Lin Xiao, became somewhat at a loss when faced with the passionate Mo Yuanjiao.

In the end, he couldn't resist Mo Yuanjiao's intense desire to become a disciple and nodded as if possessed.

Mo Yuanjiao formally performed a disciple ceremony to Lin Dayou, and the two became master and disciple just like that.

Seeing that it was getting late, the newly minted master Lin Dayou, realizing his disciple and his guard had nowhere to stay, immediately waved his big hand and said:

"You two can go stay in my room first." He naturally wasn't talking about his own house at the foot of the mountain, as there were no spare rooms there. He was referring to the residence Lin Xiao had arranged for him at the Guiyuan Mountain Residence.

Lin Dayou walked towards the sect. Seeing this, Mo Yuanjiao completely ignored his recently bumped head and excitedly followed.

Only Guard Mo behind him tried to stop him:

"Young Master, be careful!"

However, when Mo Yuanjiao walked to the place where he had just been knocked flying, it did not block him out as before. He walked in unimpeded.

Seeing this, Mo Yuanjiao, following behind Lin Dayou, excitedly waved to Guard Mo:

"Old Que, come quickly! It's fine now!"

Seeing this, Guard Mo had no choice but to shut his mouth and follow.

Who knew that he would still be blocked by that invisible barrier.

Lin Dayou turned around and saw this. Remembering that Lin Xiao had previously said only sect disciples could enter, he had to say to Guard Mo:

"Well, this barrier can only be entered by disciples of our sect. Otherwise, how about you go down the mountain and sleep on the floor in my living room for the night?"

Could Guard Mo agree to this?

Of course not!

It wasn't that he was unwilling to sleep on the floor in the village, but as a guard, even if he slept on the floor, he had to do it right in front of his young master!

Seeing that things had come to this, and it was impossible for this young master to turn back, Guard Mo was also very decisive and directly bowed down to Lin Dayou:

"I earnestly request Senior to also accept me as a disciple!"

Lin Dayou thought about it. He had already accepted one anyway, would he care about one more? At worst, he could just throw them both to Lin Xiao to teach later.

So he nodded very skillfully and accepted this second disciple.

The two freshly baked Lingxian Sect members followed behind Lin Dayou just like that, smoothly stepping into the Lingxian Sect's territory.

At the same time, far away in the county town, a system notification sound suddenly rang in Lin Xiao's mind:

[Sect member count has reached seventeen. The sect defense function has been upgraded to the Sect Mountain Protection Grand Array. In its daily state, this array allows sect disciples and those approved by the Sect Master to enter and exit freely. In alert state, all entry and exit must be approved by the Sect Master or an authorized person of the array. Friendly reminder: Authorized persons can only be designated by the Sect Master.]

Lin Xiao was a bit surprised. This wasn't right.

Originally, there were only fourteen people in the sect. Adding the newly accepted Fang Tuantuan, that would only be fifteen. Why did the system suddenly prompt that the number of sect members had become seventeen?

Lin Xiao immediately opened the sect panel and saw that the number of sect members had indeed become seventeen. He immediately opened the member list again.

Could it be that someone suddenly took a disciple in the middle of the night?

When he opened the member list, he saw that there were indeed three more panels.

The first one was fine, it belonged to Fang Tuantuan.

[Name: Fang Tuantuan]

[Gender: Male]

[Bone Age: 13 years old]

[Aptitude: Very ordinary but has good luck]

[Cultivation: Spirit Opening Seventh Layer]

[Sect Status: Inner Sect Disciple (Changeable) [Disciple of Sun Yigao]]

[Sect Position: None (Changeable)]

The system even very thoughtfully marked whose disciple it was.

But when he saw the latter two, Lin Xiao fell silent.

[Name: Mo Yuanjiao]

[Gender: Male]

[Bone Age: 13 years old]

[Aptitude: Heaven-defying talent]

[Cultivation: Mortal]

[Sect Status: Inner Sect Disciple (Changeable) [Disciple of Lin Dayou]]

[Sect Position: None (Changeable)]

-

[Name: Mo Que]

[Gender: Male]

[Bone Age: 28 years old]

[Aptitude: Just so-so]

[Cultivation: Mortal]

[Sect Status: Inner Sect Disciple (Changeable) [Disciple of Lin Dayou]]

[Sect Position: None (Changeable)]

Lin Xiao couldn't quite believe it, but no matter how many times he closed and opened it again, the panels of these two people clearly stated [Disciple of Lin Dayou].

He turned to look at his father's panel above.

No problem there, still Qi Refining First Layer.

Lin Xiao: ...

What was wrong with his dad? He actually had the free time to take disciples. Didn't he usually run between cultivating and working in the fields, always complaining that he was too busy and didn't have enough time...

Speaking of which, Lin Xiao felt that the panels of these two people looked somewhat familiar.

One was thirteen, the other twenty-eight, surnamed Mo.

He suddenly thought of the guard and the dramatic youth he had met earlier in Liaoju Prefecture.

To think that they had actually come knocking on his door.

He suddenly wanted to go back and see what exactly had happened to cause his low-profile father to take in two disciples in one breath while only at the first layer of Qi Refining.

But he suddenly remembered that Senior Liao and the Mountain Protection Grand Array were still in the sect, so presumably nothing would go wrong.

So he held back the urge and continued to stay in the county town to accompany Sun Yigao for his exams, while also making some small money with Baldy and Fuzi.

Speaking of which, the clever him had discovered a business opportunity.

With one spirit stone, he could buy a hundred pine soot inksticks! Pine soot inksticks were very expensive in the mortal realm.

The price of a single pine soot inkstick was basically over two taels of silver.

If he casually sold one or two, he would be able to buy a set of cotton quilts for everyone to take back.

Furthermore, Lin Xiao also planned to buy some other things.

If it were back when he could only earn spirit stones through missions, Lin Xiao definitely wouldn't have been willing to exchange even a single spirit stone for mortal goods.

But things were different now. He was someone who owned a mine.

This little bit of money, ah, should be spent when it needs to be spent.
