"Then Master, you can continue playing with the birds. I need to get back to my studies." Lin Yu took a few sips of water, waved, and headed towards the study.
He's been a bit lax these past few days. Having talent without knowledge is like a dried-up lake—useless.
Lin Yu now sees the scriptures as if he's standing on the shoulders of giants, gaining new insights into the world with each glance.
But if you want to truly become a giant, or even surpass a giant, you can only absorb nutrients and grow continuously. Only in this way can you truly become a giant.
However, Lin Yu's goal is also very ambitious. If we're talking about giants in Wen Cai and Qiu Sheng's eyes, then it's probably on the same level as their master and the others.
In Uncle Nine's eyes, he was probably just a high and mighty immortal.
As for Lin Yu, in terms of resources, he has countless resources from all the heavens and myriad worlds. More importantly, he also has the Max-Level Comprehension. With these two cheat codes, from the very beginning, his eyes were already set on those few positions that overlook all living beings.
Although this idea is dangerous, only by setting ambitious goals can we have the motivation to move forward.
If becoming an immortal is all that's required, then Lin Yu can simply say that anyone with the skills can do it. Lin Yu didn't read so many books for nothing; his horizons and knowledge have been constantly expanding.
Maoshan was originally named Shangqing Sect and belongs to orthodox Taoism.
In Taoism, there is a concept of Heavenly Master. Heavenly Master is both a title and an official position. Those who are called Heavenly Master hold some kind of official position in heaven or on earth.
There are probably only three such Heavenly Master left in the entire Maoshan, or even fewer.
Since its inception, the Shangqing Sect has consciously adhered to the rule that only three people in the entire sect can receive the Heavenly Master's blessings, and everyone has consciously complied with this rule.
If there's a fourth person, then there's nothing you can do; you're too late. The first three people have already taken the highest-level Heavenly Master Register. If you still want to receive an ordination, you can only accept the lower-level, ordinary ordination.
For example, if an ordinary citizen registers their identity with the authorities, and if they are very capable and happen to be noticed by the authorities, they may be able to get a government job; if not, they are just an ordinary person on the register, and things will continue as usual.
One type is the celestial Immortal Register that guarantees a place among the immortals, and the other is the ordinary register that is received.
Lin Yu also discovered this rule through ancient texts, and it seems that everything is related to the founding patriarch of the sect.
Through the books collected by his master and the knowledge he gained from his previous life, Lin Yu concluded that the source of everything pointed directly to the Maoshan Patriarch, "Three Mao Perfected Lords".
Lin Yu used to think that "Three Mao Perfected Lords" was one person, but now that he knows more, he knows that there are actually three people.
Therefore, everyone assumed that there could only be three people with the "Immortal Register".
However, Lin Yu had none of these worries, as the large Buddha statue in his room had already provided him with an escape route.
Receiving a title? If you can't make it in this world, just go work under him; you're guaranteed to become a celestial general.
That's why Lin Yu is so confident; not everyone is qualified to invite the true god home.
In this world, connections and ability are essential. If you have neither, you're just a nobody.
However, he doesn't have these worries for now. He'll have to wait until he grows up to realize what's in his head.
He is only eight years old now, or more precisely, a little under nine, so he cannot yet put the theory into practice.
What Lin Yu needs to do now is to fill his dried-up lake with water and eventually turn it into a vast ocean.
However, this project cannot be completed in a short period of time.
"By the time I've filled it up, I'm afraid I could become a saint on the spot. No, no, becoming a saint on the spot is a bit difficult, but becoming an immortal on the spot is possible, hehe." Lin Yu couldn't help but fantasize as he looked at the book.
After his daydreaming session, Lin Yu began to seriously read the classic texts.
Inside the room, there was the rustling sound of pages turning, while outside, there was the heaving sound of weightlifting.
This set the stage for Uncle Nine's comfortable days of slacking off.
The morning passed in the blink of an eye.
In high spirits, Uncle Nine came out wearing his new clothes. "You've been cultivating all morning, you must be hungry. Get ready, I'll take you out to eat."
"Gurgle~"
Uncle Nine's words only made things worse, as Goku's stomach growled loudly enough for everyone in the courtyard to hear.
"Goku, how hungry are you? Your stomach is growling so loudly!" Wen Cai Qiu Sheng looked at Goku's stomach in surprise.
Even if a normal person's stomach growls from hunger, the sound is only audible to themselves and those nearby. But Son Goku's stomach is truly loud.
"Haha, I'm hungry," Goku without any embarrassment, clutching his head and grinning foolishly.
"Alright, alright, stop wasting time. Go take a shower and change your clothes. I'm not taking you out if you smell of sweat."
Uncle Nine interrupted the group's playful antics and urged them on with a sigh.
"Master, where are we going to eat today?" Wen Cai asked curiously on the street, wearing his terribly unfashionable new clothes.
He felt like it was Chinese New Year these past few days, with his master taking him out to eat delicious food every day, something he never dared to dream of.
Why ask so many questions? Just follow along.
Uncle Nine clearly didn't want to talk too much with Wen Cai, otherwise he would see Wen Cai's overjoyed expression again.
"Uncle Nine! Haha, you've finally arrived."
Soon when the group arrived at the restaurant, they saw Ren Fa waiting for them in front of the restaurant with Ren Tingting was still a little weak.
Upon seeing Uncle Nine, Ren Fa hurriedly and happily went to greet him.
"Master Ren, Tingting is still very weak and should rest at home. She shouldn't come out with us and risk catching a cold." Uncle Nine stepped forward and shook hands with Ren Fa. Seeing that Tingting had also come out, he quickly gave her some advice.
"Uncle Nine, you don't know my daughter. I told her not to come, but she wouldn't listen and insisted on coming to Uncle Nine you in person."
Ren Fa is very good at handling people. With a set of words, he both explained his purpose and made people happy to agree.
"Let's go in quickly, Tingting must be tired after standing for so long," Qiu Sheng quickly replied, but his eyes remained fixed on Tingting.
Ren Tingting's current frail appearance is just like a real-life Lin Daiyu; anyone who sees her can't help but take a second look, let alone Wen Cai Qiu Sheng.
"Alright, alright, Uncle Nine, please."
"Please, Master Ren"
The two of them, with a push and a shove, entered the restaurant.
"Tingting, let me help you, be careful not to fall." Wen Cai approached Tingting with a shameless grin, wanting to support her.
"No need, I can walk by myself." Ren Tingting reached out to stop Wen Cai, preventing him from leaning forward any further.
After saying that, she took Lin Yu's hand and followed Uncle Nine and the others into the restaurant, completely ignoring Wen Cai and Qiu Sheng.
Lin Yu felt himself being led again, looking completely bewildered, and tried to break free by straining his arms.
"Little brother Lin, your sister is weak, why don't you help her a little?" Tingting said softly and aggrievedly when she saw that Lin Yu didn't want to be led around.
Lin Yu blinked his big eyes wide-eyed. Something wasn't right.
Who was it that just said they could do it? Women's words are deceiving.
"Sigh~ The flowing water is willing, but the falling flowers are heartless~" Qiu Sheng said mockingly, looking at Wen Cai.
"Hmph! You're the same way, and you're still criticizing me~"
"Goku, let's go eat!" Wen Cai angrily spat at Qiu Sheng, then turned and pulled Goku inside.
