Chapter 10

In the midst of cherry blossoms dancing in the wind, Misaki opened the old diary and read the words of the promise written there.

Lin Feng stood at the entrance of the classroom, took a deep breath, and firmly held the letter containing the secret that his mother had given him. After half a day of hard work, it was finally harvest time. Looking at the little one following behind him, Lin Feng felt an unprecedented sense of joy.

After bidding farewell to the people of Stone Village and asking for directions to Wuzhou, Lin Feng set off with the little one. In Wuzhou, there was another person, Xiao Yan, who was suspected to be the true destined one, waiting for him.

From Stone Village to Wuzhou, one had to cross vast mountains and dense primeval forests. The primeval forest was not like the woods in human society; only those who had been there could truly understand this. The towering trees that blocked out the sky produced astronomical numbers of leaves each year. In this humid and hot place, the leaves could not turn into dry soil but instead underwent a long process of decay, mixing with the damp earth to form a swamp, the most terrifying trap in the forest.

The insects in the forest were many times larger than those commonly seen outside. Swarms of mosquitoes flying and circling were like flocks of hummingbirds! The tree trunks were covered with green, old vines that intertwined in layers and circles. Once, as Lin Feng walked by, a bright green snake suddenly darted out from the vines!

Lin Feng had to admit that traveling long distances alone in the primeval forest was a very dangerous task. However, with the little one, everything was different. Although he was not yet four years old, the little one, who had grown up in the mountains, was already a seasoned veteran of jungle life.

With him leading the way, Lin Feng could walk while checking his Super Ancestor System. After the little one became his disciple, a new branch of the disciple system appeared in the system.

There was only one name on the list of disciples: Shi Tianhao.

Name: Shi Tianhao

Age: 3 years and 7 months

Current Cultivation: Second Level of Qi Practitioner

Potential Attributes: Constitution -> 10; Insight -> 8; Willpower -> 8; Fortune -> 8

Note: Physical strength is formidable, far surpassing that of ordinary second-level Qi Practitioners.

Recommended Education Plan: Suggest practicing Thunder Dao techniques; in terms of skills, both magical techniques and martial arts can be practiced.

Lin Feng nodded in satisfaction. It was just right to teach the little one the Nine Heavens Thunder True Law. He clicked into the lottery system again. Taking the little one as a disciple, the system rewarded him with a lottery chance.

After checking the items randomly generated by the dice system and the roulette system, Lin Feng felt slightly disappointed. There was nothing particularly good, so he could only hope for the mysterious box. After the last time with the Northern Pole Celestial Magnetic Sword, Lin Feng knew that the mysterious box was equivalent to a grand prize, often yielding good things.

This time, Lin Feng chose the roulette system. In the void, eighteen slots formed a circle, with fifteen items placed in them, plus a mysterious box with a question mark, and two empty slots.

"Box, box, box... start!"

With a thought, a light point appeared on the roulette and began to spin rapidly. After about two rounds, the speed of the light point slowed down. Lin Feng watched it nervously, calculating where it would stop.

The light point moved slower and slower, getting closer and closer to the mysterious box. The next three items were the Flame Blade spell, the Evil-Dispelling Talisman, and the mysterious box.

The Flame Blade was a spell one level higher than Fireball or Palm Thunder, suitable for Lin Feng, who was currently at the Qi Practitioner stage. Higher-level spells had more stringent requirements and were not as practical.

The Evil-Dispelling Talisman was a very versatile talisman, specifically for dispelling evil spirits and ghosts. Although it was a one-time use item, when used properly, it could be even more practical than the Flame Blade.

Both items were available in the exchange system and required several hundred exchange points. However, their appeal was clearly not as great as the mysterious box.

The light point seemed to stop at the Flame Blade. Lin Feng held his breath, not daring to make a sound, but in his heart, he kept shouting, "Go, go, go!"

As if hearing Lin Feng's thoughts, the light point slowly moved past the Flame Blade to the slot with the Evil-Dispelling Talisman.

"Go again, go again, go again!"

The light point was very cooperative, moving past the Evil-Dispelling Talisman as Lin Feng wished. Lin Feng was overjoyed, thinking his luck was pretty good. He had won the grand prize twice in a row.

"Could my fortune be very high?" Lin Feng thought happily, but his eyes almost popped out when he glanced at the roulette. The light point was still moving and was about to pass the mysterious box.

Lin Feng panicked: "Stop! Stop! Stop... Damn!"

The light point finally stopped trembling, but it had already passed the mysterious box and landed on the next slot.

Lin Feng focused and saw it was the Soul-Soothing Grass.

It had a calming and stabilizing effect on the soul, being the main ingredient of the Spirit-Stabilizing Pill, which was rare and hard to find.

Lin Feng frowned, staring at the Soul-Soothing Grass in his hand. He felt a flash of inspiration in his mind, as if the Soul-Soothing Grass would be very useful to him. But the thought was vague, so he quickly entered the exchange system, found the Spirit-Stabilizing Pill, and read its description.

The Spirit-Stabilizing Pill was useless to ordinary people but could stabilize the soul of a disembodied spirit, allowing it to travel far during the day without its soul being damaged or scattered.

After some thought, Lin Feng had a vague idea, but it was not yet clear. He needed more time to plan, so he put the Soul-Soothing Grass away and continued browsing the exchange system.

This time, taking the little one as a disciple, besides the lottery chance, he also received 500 exchange points, more than the initial funds provided by the beginner's package.

Lin Feng decided to exchange for a spell or skill. He already had the Nine Heavens Thunder True Law and the Northern Pole Celestial Magnetic Sword, so he did not urgently need them. Instead, he needed a spell. Although the Nine Heavens Thunder Summoning was powerful, it had many restrictions and was inconvenient in actual combat.

In essence, the Nine Heavens Thunder Summoning was an array technique. The user pre-arranged an array and then used it to summon the power of heaven and earth. Compared to human limitations, the power of heaven and earth was infinite, depending on how much you could mobilize. Therefore, the power of array techniques was unparalleled.

However, every advantage has a disadvantage. Array techniques were powerful, but setting up an array was difficult. Not only was the array fixed in position, but setting it up required many materials and time, making it easy to be caught off guard in emergencies.

So, Lin Feng decided to exchange for a spell or skill. He chose a technique called Cloud Dragon Escape.

Escape techniques were very important for cultivators. A skilled escape technique meant that if you couldn't defeat your opponent, you could escape, and if you could defeat your opponent, you could chase them.

Cloud Dragon Escape was a branch of a powerful escape technique called Dragon Escape, which included various sub-techniques like Cloud Dragon Escape, Shadow Dragon Escape, and Water Dragon Escape, each with different uses.

However, exchanging for the entire Dragon Escape required too many points, far beyond Lin Feng's current means. So, he chose the Cloud Dragon Escape branch after careful consideration.

Cloud Dragon Escape was mainly used for short-distance movement and dodging in small spaces. The practitioner would step on a dragon or snake, moving as if riding a cloud, making it impossible for enemies to touch even the hem of their clothes, which was extremely valuable in actual combat.

After exiting the system, he found the little one looking at him expectantly. "Master, when can I learn the Dao techniques from you?"

Lin Feng smiled and patted his head. "Don't worry, you are my first disciple. How could I forget you?"

The little one's big, black eyes twinkled. "Master, I don't want to be the eldest disciple. I... I want to be the youngest."

Lin Feng was puzzled, looking at the little one, who looked like a porcelain doll. "Don't worry. Although you are young, you are the earliest to join. Being the eldest disciple is no problem. In the future, any disciples I take will have to respect you as their senior."

The little one grabbed Lin Feng's hand and shook it. "But Master, I really want to be the youngest."

Lin Feng was curious. "Why?"

The little one shuffled his feet and looked down shyly. "In the village, the youngest child is usually the most loved... I was the youngest in the village, so everyone loved me..."

Lin Feng was speechless, looking at the little one. After a while, he said with a mix of amusement and exasperation, "You little rascal, I don't know whether to say you are smart or foolish. That's in your Stone Village, not everywhere."

"On the contrary, in some places, the youngest is often bullied." Lin Feng looked at the little one with a smile. "Think carefully. If you want to always be the youngest, that's fine, but when your senior disciples ask you to fetch their foot-washing water or clean the toilet, don't regret it."

The little one's eyes twinkled, and he shook Lin Feng's hand with a smile. "I'll fetch the foot-washing water, clean the toilet, and massage your shoulders. With Master here and the little one being so obedient, I'm sure the senior disciples won't make it hard for me."

Lin Feng looked at the little rascal and was speechless for a moment before laughing. He poked the little one's forehead. "You... you..."

The little one smiled innocently and laughed.
