Perfect World: I Am Eternal

Chapter 8 Qi Daolin

Ancient stone steps, broken walls, rubble and overgrown weeds. This place is so desolate. The ruins and ruins all speak of depression and decline.

Lin Fan tried hard to hold up his nearly falling apart body and looked around. He felt that this place was full of weirdness, the air was filled with the smell of the vicissitudes of time, and there was a kind of sad atmosphere.

However, compared to these, he was more concerned about the old man who looked a little wretched and kept staring at him, making him feel uncomfortable.

"Um... Grandpa, were you the one who saved me?" Lin Fan finally spoke in a very innocent voice, his big watery eyes were crystal clear.

"Hmm!" The old man instantly became serious and nodded in a pretentious manner. He had an immortal appearance and a Taoist body, and looked like a hermit from other worlds.

"Oh, my mom said that you should be grateful when someone helps you... Then thank you, grandpa!" Lin Fan's childish face is round and chubby, very cute.

During the years he spent with Ye Qingxian, acting had become a form of self-cultivation for him. He could speak without any shame and always remain cautious.

"Little boy, how did you get here?" the old man asked as if he was in the spring breeze, with wisdom in his deep eyes.

He was quite curious about how a child with no cultivation could run here, and he had already planned in his mind how to coax him into becoming a disciple. This was a first-generation disciple, and was regarded as a treasure by all sects.

His Taoist lineage has been in decline for many years. Although he had accepted two disciples a few years ago, they both died. Now that he finally has a talented person, he must not let him go.

"I don't know either. I just remember that when I was playing in the mountains with the little monkeys in the village, I stepped on an altar and was transported away in an instant!" Lin Fan said in confusion, indicating that he had no idea at all.

"Hey, I got a great bargain. It seems that he is not from any force. But that's right, he is already four years old and has not started practicing yet." The old man was secretly delighted and made up his mind to coax the child in front of him into becoming his disciple.

There is no doubt about it, because for a first generation like this, if they came from certain Taoist sects, even if the power behind them is not strong, it is impossible that they have not started practicing at the age of four. This is such a waste!
No sect would do this. This is the seed of the future and concerns the destiny of the Tao. They should think about how to strengthen the foundation.

Generally speaking, the best age to start practicing is from the age of two. At this time, one's formation has been formed, and through the baptism of various precious medicines and precious blood, the most solid foundation can be laid.

Some powerful sects would even use magical medicines, ancient pure-blooded beasts and other precious blood to refine the extremely talented disciples when they first baptize them, in order to increase their potential during cultivation.

Seeing that the old man didn't say anything, with a raised corner of his mouth and a bit of ill intention, Lin Fan felt something was wrong. He thought that this wretched old man would not do that to him. He had heard that some weird old men with pedophilia were into this.

Lin Fan was pure and innocent, and had remained a chaste woman for two lifetimes. He wouldn't fall into the hands of this old man, would he? The thought gave him a chill.

He immediately started acting and said in a crisp voice, "Grandpa, can you take me home? My parents will treat you to some meat!"

Those sincere big eyes were full of timidity and were watery, as if there were tears rolling in them, about to pour out.

Faced with this innocent and helpless child, Qi Daolin was too embarrassed to start coaxing him for a moment, and his old face was a little embarrassed.

After all, he is too young, just a baby who has just been weaned and is hiding under the wings of his parents. If he were older, he would be seduced with his old face and would not feel guilty.

"Little kid, do you know where your home is so that I can send you back?" Qi Daolin tried to communicate.

Although he is a bit notorious, he still has some bottom line. Before accepting someone as his disciple, he should say hello to the child's parents.

He also didn't think that the other party's parents would refuse. Could the ignorant people in a small mountain village refuse him, a person with profound cultivation, to teach their children?

That’s right, that’s what Qi Daolin thought. He would send the child back first and then take him into the Supreme Dojo.

"My home is in Lin Village. Do you know me, grandpa?" Lin Fan said softly.

He was testing the old man to see what his real intentions were and whether he had other thoughts about him. He had no choice but to use the name Ye Qingxian.

This guy is quite famous among the leaders, but I wonder if this weird old man knows him?
Otherwise, I’m in danger!

"Little kid, there are many villages with the surname Lin in this world. You won't be able to find your way home with just this little information. Do you know any other information, such as place names?"

"Hmm..." Lin Fan shook his head, as if trying to recall something, and suddenly said, "I seem to remember hearing the village chief say that our place is...some border!"

"Border?!" Qi Daolin exclaimed in surprise, being quite sensitive to the word. "Hmm!" Lin Fan observed the other's reaction carefully. He had deliberately said the word to predict his cultivation level. Ordinary people wouldn't know what a border was; only those with high cultivation could visit it.

Judging from the current situation, this old man’s cultivation should be quite high, at least he has become a god, probably a true god or above.

"Little kid, it's probably going to be difficult for you to go home. This is Sanqianzhou, very far from the border, and there's a terrible no-man's land in between."

Qi Daolin didn't expect that this child came from such a far place, even out of the Three Thousand States. He must have been teleported here by a teleportation array, and this teleportation array was not simple, as it spanned the endless galaxy.

"Ah... wow... what should I do? I miss my parents. They must be waiting for me to come home." Lin Fan's eyes were suddenly blurred with tears, and crystal-like tears rolled down his cheeks.

At this time, he had to admire himself. He was such a good actor. Life was like a play, and it all depended on his acting skills.

Lin Fan was also surprised that he had come to the Three Thousand States. Ye Qingxian had left him so far away, and he had come here directly from the uninhabited area at the border, crossing countless billions of miles, from the Nine Heavens to the Ten Earths.

However, he now just wanted to leave quickly and find a big sect to join and start practicing. It was really not good to have his life and death in the hands of others.

"Don't cry, little baby. It's just difficult to go home, but it's not impossible." Qi Daolin comforted softly, like a kind elder, very kind.

"Really!" Lin Fan's confused eyes sparkled like gems. He wiped away his tears, as if he saw hope and light at this moment.

Facing such a fiery gaze, Qi Daolin's old face couldn't help but turn red. He felt a little uncomfortable. It was the first time that he was looked at like this by a child. He even felt reluctant to let him in.

His faction is not simple. Everyone wants to fight him and he has many enemies around him. If he lets a kid like this join, he won't know if it will harm him.

But he still replied: "Of course it is true. When a person's cultivation is high enough, he can naturally go anywhere he wants."

Upon hearing this, Lin Fan immediately swallowed his words and said with a look of disappointment, "But our village is very poor and weak, and I don't know how to practice..."

"Well, I'm here. If you join my sect, I can make you an unrivaled warrior!" Qi Daolin shrugged and said this.

Suddenly, the old man was surrounded by mist and auspicious rays of light, illuminating the place like the bright sun, giving people the feeling that he was about to ascend to heaven, floating out of the world and like a fairy from heaven.

"Wow!" Lin Fan exclaimed, stunned for a moment. At the same time, he thought to himself that this old man was very good at pretending, and most children would be scared by him.

However, he was also relieved. It was good that the other party did not have such an idea. Destroying his innocence and taking his bones, especially his innocence, would be more painful than killing him.

This happened to be within his plan. The old man seemed to be very powerful, so it saved him some effort in finding a sect to join. It would be good enough for him to practice for the time being.

"Are you willing to join my religion and fight for it?" the old man asked in a sudden and dignified manner, with chaotic energy falling from his head. His true body seemed to be comparable to the heaven and earth, looking down on all living beings.

"Yes!" Lin Fan replied.

He had no choice. He was unfamiliar with the place, so for his own safety, he had to join first. He also underestimated the old man. He thought that the other party might have reached the level of a god or even a leader.

This is not a loss, and it seems that they are not a small family. The other party stays in this shabby place, probably just to cultivate themselves and live in seclusion. The real Taoist tradition should be very prosperous.

At least that’s what Lin Fan thinks.

The old man nodded, and then solemnly pulled Lin Fan to swear an oath, which was extremely strict. He prayed to heaven and earth, and took a drop of his blood and dripped it on the article, and then set it on fire.

This made Lin Fan stunned and dumbfounded. Is it so strict to join a sect?

After everything was finished, Lin Fan asked, "I still don't know what to call Grandpa. What is the name of our Taoist sect?"

"Qi Daolin, as for the Taoist tradition, it is the supreme Taoist temple. How domineering is it? Do you feel proud? In the future you will know that there are no weak people coming out of our lineage!" The old man smiled and said confidently.

"what……"
