"The moment you formally accepted me as your apprentice, a voice suddenly echoed in my mind, asking if I would like to join a 'Chat Group'."
"I instinctively agreed. After entering, I discovered that it was a supreme treasure capable of connecting all realms."
After learning about the big shots' attitudes, Lin Yu felt it was time to reveal a little bit.
Lin Yu told Uncle Nine the secret of his Chat Group, but he didn't mention his extraordinary talent for comprehension.
Uncle Nine watched him leave this time. It's fine once, but if it happens again, Uncle Nine will naturally find out.
Informing Uncle Nine in advance will give him some time to prepare, and prevent him from constantly worrying about my sudden disappearances.
"So, Xiao Yu, you mean that treasure can take you to other worlds?" Uncle Nine's worldview seemed to collapse instantly.
Before this, his understanding of the world was limited to the human Underworld, Heavenly Court. Although there has always been the saying of "three thousand worlds," who would believe something they haven't seen is real?
Now his disciple is telling him that there really are worlds beyond this world.
What's even more shocking is that his own disciple had already gone there in person!
"Yes, as long as the people in the group agree, I can use Chat Group points to buy Teleportation Talisman and go to their worlds."
"So what kind of world did you go to this time, that you were able to meet the patriarch?"
Lin Yu organized his thoughts and slowly said, "Emm, it's a world extremely similar to ours, with a human realm, Heavenly Court, and Underworld. The two worlds are like twins."
"It's just that the time is different. The timeline of that world, relative to ours, is roughly the Song Dynasty."
"However, that world is rich in spiritual energy, so it has many powerful cultivators."
"There is still interaction between the Heavenly Court and the mortal world, which is why it is common for Divine Immortal to descend to earth and for banished immortals to be reincarnated."
After listening to Lin Yu's story, Uncle Nine was deeply moved.
He picked up his teacup, took a sip to calm himself, tapped his fingers lightly on the table, and said thoughtfully, "Hearing you say that, the world seems like a twin brother that's always with us."
He looked up at Lin Yu, a glint of light flashing in his eyes. "There is also Heavenly Court and Underworld there, and the same people and things... except that the spiritual energy of heaven and earth has not been exhausted, and cultivation is at its peak."
Uncle Nine stood up, put his hands behind his back, and paced back and forth in the pavilion, his voice lowering:
"As for our world, since the end of the Dharma era, the Heavenly Court has long since severed ties with the human world, and the traces of Divine Immortal are hard to find..."
"Xiao Yu, if you can go to that world, with your talent, you will definitely become an immortal in less than ten years!" Uncle Nine became more and more excited as he spoke, gripping Lin Yu's shoulders tightly with both hands, his eyes filled with earnest expectations.
Lin Yu was surprised that his master thought of him first when he heard these words. A warm feeling welled up in his heart, and his nose tingled slightly.
Lin Yu was overwhelmed with mixed feelings and couldn't help but sigh inwardly:
In this degenerate age where everyone is self-centered, especially when one hears of an opportunity to become an immortal, if one can immediately think of others, then that person's magnanimity and sentiments are far beyond what ordinary people can achieve.
And that's exactly the kind of person my master is.
"Master, this matter is not as simple as you think." Although she was moved by her master's unconditional devotion, going to other worlds was not so easy.
One thousand points Teleportation Talisman, which is only valid for three days. If it expires, you either need to renew or be sent back.
These points alone represent a considerable expense, not to mention maintaining the status of an outsider while wandering around those worlds.
His own people might not do anything to him, but a world has not only good people, but also bad people.
If those evil cultivators see him as an outsider and use him as a gateway to another world, he probably won't even know how he died.
"I was too hasty." Uncle Nine nodded, realizing after calming down that he had been presumptuous.
This treasure must come at a price to travel through the world, let alone stay there.
"Master's ascension to immortality can't be rushed. What's meant to be yours will come eventually." Seeing that Uncle Nine was so fixated on becoming an immortal, Lin Yu didn't know how to comfort him.
"Sigh..." Uncle Nine sighed deeply, a hint of regret flashing in his eyes, "If only I had let you absorb that drop of essence blood back then."
It turns out that Uncle Nine had been troubled by this all along.
He always felt that he had stolen his apprentice's opportunity, originally thinking it was just a drop of essence blood.
Unexpectedly, even after absorbing it, Uncle Nine has only mastered one-tenth of its power, yet he already feels he has benefited immensely.
If he mastered it all, he might be able to reach the level of an "immortal." Yet his disciple gave him this opportunity without batting an eye, a gesture of filial piety that left Uncle Nine with mixed feelings.
"Master, the past is the past," Lin Yu interrupted with a smile. "It doesn't matter who absorbs the essence between us, as long as you don't think I deliberately turned you into a zombie."
Uncle Nine, upon hearing this, was both amused and exasperated. He put on a stern face and said, "You brat, what nonsense are you spouting!"
"Right? Anyway, with this opportunity of the 'Chat Group,' becoming an immortal is a certainty." Lin Yu smiled confidently. "And wouldn't it be even better if you, Master, could also become an immortal?"
Even so, most of the pent-up frustration in Uncle Nine's heart had dissipated. Looking at his open-minded disciple, Uncle Nine nodded solemnly.
"This Chat Group presents a great opportunity, but you must be extremely careful. The Three Thousand Worlds are fraught with danger, and a moment's carelessness could lead to your death." Uncle Nine was still somewhat uneasy about his disciple going out into the world without his protection, so he could only repeatedly give him these words of advice.
"Understood, disciple!" Lin Yu replied respectfully.
"Master, actually, the patriarch not only passed on the jade pendant to his disciple, but also a matching item to me." Lin Yu changed the subject, winked at Uncle Nine, and smiled mysteriously.
Upon hearing this, Uncle Nine's eyes flashed with curiosity. "Oh? What is it?"
As long as it's bestowed by the patriarch, it's all good. At their level, even a single hair can be considered a panacea to ordinary people.
"Master, have you ever heard of the cultivation technique called 'Shangqing Dadong Scripture'?" Lin Yu asked in a low voice, feigning mystery.
Upon hearing this, Uncle Nine, who had just sat down, stood up again in an instant, his voice trembling slightly. "You mean that the patriarch passed down to you the ancient scriptures of Maoshan, one of the three wonders, the 'Shangqing Dadong Scripture'!?"
This scripture is both popular and niche, because everyone has read it, but it's not something that can be practiced simply by reading it.
An ordinary person might see it as just an ordinary Daoist scripture, but it would be different if it were personally transmitted by a patriarch.
The scriptures passed down by the patriarch are imbued with the essence of Daoism, enabling people to dispel the clouds and see the clear sky, pointing directly to the origin of the Great Tao!
Only then can it be considered a cultivation technique; otherwise, it's just a scripture.
However, Lin Yu didn't have that problem. Even if it's a scripture, if he reads a few more, he will naturally understand the method of cultivation.
