Chapter 31: Becoming a Disciple

Translator: 549690339

The old man tapped Little Ya’s head lightly with his walking stick, smiling, “Here’s another secret: when you meet an immortal, don’t worry about anything else, just kowtow.”

“Then ask the immortal to take you as a disciple.”

“If you have a destiny with immortality, you’ll be an immortal flying through the sky someday.”

The old man’s eyes were cloudy, containing a hint of regret as he sighed at the passing time, lamenting he had missed his chance for immortality.

The little boy didn’t listen to the old man but stared blankly at something not far away.

On the Snow Mountain, a silhouette was slowly descending, as if it was a feather.

The old man followed the little boy’s shocked gaze and made a plan after a

single glance.

Looking around, he noticed the people ahead in the Snow Mountain team were all hurrying on their way.

At this moment, the old man gestured to the little boy to keep quiet, secretly leading him in the direction where the figure was falling.

Only after completely separating from the team did the old man tell the little boy, “Your destiny has arrived. As long as we save the immortal, even if we don’t become immortals, we’ll have a lifetime of wealth and glory.”

“Do you understand?”

“What does wealth and glory mean?” The little boy asked innocently, only knowing that pastries and snacks in the town were expensive.

“It means you can eat meat at every meal.”

For some reason, at that moment, the old man’s eyes were dazzled. It was as if he saw a light in the little boy’s eyes.

A moment later, the little boy was filled with energy.

“Remember not to tell anyone about this. If the immortal is alive, I’ll try my best to help you get your chance of immortality, even if it costs me my old bones.”

“If the immortal is dead, find a geomantic treasure to bury them.”

The old man didn’t say it, but before the burial, he would find anything valuable.

“I understand, Grandpa.” The little boy said earnestly, his mind full of fantasies about eating meat every day.

An hour later, the grandfather and grandson finally found the immortal who had drifted down from the sky.

“Grandpa, this immortal looks so ordinary.” The little boy stared at the plain-looking Xu Fan and remarked.

“Stop talking and focus on saving the immortal first.”

Seeing Xu Fan in a Taoist robe, the little boy clenched his teeth and began looking for tools he could use from the surroundings.

In the end, the old man made a simple stretcher with a rope and some dry branches. Using all his strength, they dragged Xu Fan back to the little boy’s house.

As soon as they entered the house, a skinny little girl about six years old quickly pounced into the little boy’s arms.

“Big brother, I’m scared. A big black dog is going to bite me.” The little girl cried with a whimper.

“It’s okay. I’ll go kill the big black dog later.” The little boy firmly replied.

“Big brother, who is this uncle?” The little girl pointed to Xu Fan lying on the stretcher and asked,

“He is our ticket to a life of wealth and glory. If we save him, we’ll be able to eat meat every day.”

As he spoke, the little boy and the old man moved Xu Fan to the only bed in their house.

“Little Ya, just cook some rice porridge for the immortal every day. You don’t need to call a doctor.”

“The doctors cannot treat an immortal’s illness.’

The old man spoke, handing the little boy two broken silver coins.

“For the time being, stop going up the mountain for herbs and focus on taking care of the immortal.” The old man repeatedly reminded, as if trying to make up for his past regrets.

After instructing them on everything, the old man got up and left the little boy’s house.

“Luo Sheng, I consider my debt repaid by saving you. Whether your family produces an immortal now depends on the fate of these two children.”

In the days that followed, the little boy and his sister began to follow the old man’s instructions. Their house was relatively isolated, so not many people came.

Half a month later.

One day at noon, the little boy was massaging Xu Fan’s arm, a method that the old man taught him.

The little girl stood by, supporting her chin with her hand, watching her brother work.

“Big brother, when can we start eating meat every day?”

“Wait until the celestial immortal brother wakes up.” The little boy said to his sister with a smile, feeling a little downhearted; it seemed that a life of eating meat every day was still far away.

At this moment, Xu Fan slowly woke up, unmoving; he began to use his senses to perceive his surroundings.

Through the conversation between the little boy and the little girl, Xu Fan learned about his experience.

“Luckily I was saved. If I had been on Snow Mountain, I might have frozen to death.” Xu Fan thought to himself.

During Xu Fan’s coma, he had been fighting Dead Soul Insects in his Spirit Space.

At first, the Dead Soul Insect took advantage of Xu Fan’s weakness and ate most of his soul. It wasn’t until he was about to be completely devoured that he began to fight the insect in his vast Spirit Space. Only now had he completely destroyed the Dead Soul Insect.

After making sure there were no dangers around, Xu Fan slowly opened his eyes.

“Kid, you won’t get a tip by massaging like that.” Xu Fan said slowly. He had been in a coma for half a month, so his body was a little stiff, and his lips were a bit chapped.

Xu Fan’s words instantly shattered the siblings’ dreams of a better life.

The moment Xu Fan spoke, the little boy remembered his grandpa’s instructions and immediately knelt down with his sister, continuously kowtowing.

“Immortal, please take us as your disciples.”

Little boy’s head hit the ground, making a loud noise. Xu Fan winced; this silly boy was using all his strength to kowtow.

Xu Fan stood up and helped the siblings to their feet, checking their qualifications in the meantime.

The sister had Three spiritual roots, and the brother had Four spiritual roots. In the world of cultivation, they barely qualified as cannon fodder.

“Why do you want me to be your master?” Xu Fan sat on the bed and started the traditional three questions for becoming a disciple, acknowledging that the siblings had the qualifications to be his disciples. Furthermore, they were the ones who had saved his life.

The most important thing was that he now had the qualifications to accept disciples within the Sect. After passing the assessment, the disciples would become Outer Disciples of the Heavenly Gate.

“We want to eat meat every day.” The siblings said in unison.

Xu Fan looked at their sincere and longing expressions and thought, “Yes, this would be the first step. To face the Great Dao directly is the path to immortality.”

“What do you think an immortal is?”

Xu Fan was about to ask the second question but gave up. The children knew nothing about it.

“Alright, I’ll ask you a crucial question.” Xu Fan asked seriously this time.

“Immortal, please ask.”

Xu Fan released a purple light from his fingers, pointing gently at the siblings. “One’s nature cannot be changed. This is my final test.”

Watching the siblings trapped in a dreamland, Xu Fan said indifferently, “If you pass my test, I’ll take you as my disciples.”

“If you don’t qualify, I promise you a life of wealth and glory.”

After checking his entire body, Xu Fan found that except for the few artifacts he had used in the sky, everything else was still there. All four Storage Bags were intact.

Xu Fan’s gaze towards the siblings softened even more..
