Full-time monk: I am the prophet of civilization!

Mind Control - Virtual Claw.

Lin Fan summoned two spatial hands, gently lifting Lingling up as if cradles her to sleep.

After confirming that he wouldn't wake Lingling, Lin Fan began to discuss important matters with Bai Ze and Dean Xiao.

"Professor Bai Ze, should I continue to call you Professor Bai Ze, or should I use the totem Bai Ze?"

Yes, just as Shirazawa hinted earlier.

This elderly man with white hair and wearing a white coat is none other than the totem Bai Ze.

Lin Fan learned this information through the World Library.

But that's understandable.

Even demons and ghosts like Red Demon Yiqiu and Jiuyouhou can disguise themselves as humans.

It's not surprising that Bai Ze, who can turn misfortune into good fortune, understands the feelings of all things, and knows the appearance of all things, would transform into human form.

Chapter 43: Bai Ze and the Addition of Two Forbidden Spells

"Hehe, both of them are me. You can call me whatever you like, Fellow Daoist Lin Fan."

"Fellow?"

Lin Fan never expected to hear this title, which comes from cultivation novels, in the entire world of cultivation.

Moreover, this is how the totem beast Bai Ze is referred to...

"We are both fellow travelers on the path to salvation. I think there is no more fitting title than 'fellow Daoist'."

Upon hearing this, Lin Fan smiled slightly, looking as if he understood.

"I'll leave the research on magic energy technology to Fellow Daoist Bai Ze. If you need anything, feel free to contact me anytime."

"Hehe, there's no need to trouble yourself. I should thank you for showing me a brand new path."

Bai Ze said with a cheerful smile.

What people fear most is not death itself, but the despair and helplessness of being able to watch it come to pass.

Shirazawa is the same in this respect.

He experienced the glory of the totem era and also witnessed its decline.

Since the totem era, Shirazawa has been searching for a way to save humanity and the totem.

Having survived for thousands of years, we have finally found someone like Lin Fan to break this deadlock.

Bai Ze immediately followed the omen of good or bad fortune and rushed to help.

Moreover, he wasn't lying; the development of Magic Energy Technology had indeed shown him a new possibility.

Whether for oneself, or for the totem and for humanity.

Bai Ze: I'm determined to research magic energy technology. Even if the Holy Totem comes, it won't change anything. I'm telling you!

During his conversation with Bai Ze, Lin Fan also learned about the current progress of Magic Energy Technology.

With Lin Fan providing the general ideas and relevant information.

Bai Ze and Dean Xiao collaborated on the development of Yi Xing Xin Cough T.

Today, the structure, materials, and energy drive of firearms are largely complete.

They were just waiting to receive Lin Fan's answers and explanations.

Bai Ze estimated that the first magic-powered gun could be successfully developed in as little as half a month.

If the testing proves successful, with official approval and funding from the Zhao family, mass production across the country will likely be faster than research and development.

At that time, Lin Fan's other plans will also be able to progress further...

After watching Bai Ze return to the laboratory for research, Lin Fan turned to look at Dean Xiao.

"Dean Xiao, you've really given me a big surprise..."

"Hehe, but I still didn't hide it from you, kid."

Dean Xiao stroked his white beard and chuckled, like Santa Claus seeing a child receive a surprise.

Lin Fan also learned about Dean Xiao's attitude towards Bai Ze from Dean Xiao.

Cooperation benefits both sides, while division harms both.

Anyway, Dean Xiao often takes care of things, and Lin Fan has the full map cheat, so there's no need to worry that Bai Ze is two-faced.

"Yes, I think so too..."

Lin Fan nodded slightly in agreement.

There are people... no, there are beasts willing to work tirelessly to develop magical energy technology. Lin Fan would welcome them without hesitation, so why would he drive away such beasts... talents... beast talents?

When the time is right, heaven and earth lend their support, and even Bai Ze, who was not part of the plan, comes to help, aligning with the auspicious or inauspicious circumstances.

Now that everything is ready, it's time to strike while the iron is hot and bring the other two on board this ship of civilization.

……

"The Ship of Civilization?"

"Hehehe, I didn't expect anyone would still remember this old woman..."

Looking at Lin Fan's sunny and cheerful smile, the hunchbacked old woman's gloomy temperament was greatly dispelled.

"Grandma..."

"Just call me Granny Lin, or Old Lady Lin."

Lin Fan was interrupted by the old woman's mute voice before he could finish speaking.

Although he was interrupted, Lin Fan was not annoyed, but rather somewhat surprised.

"Grandma Lin, would you like to join us?"

"You've even managed to convince that monk Lingkong, so what can this old hag say?"

Granny Lin looked at the monk beside her with her cloudy eyes.

She didn't think she was as eloquent as the monk Lingkong, so she didn't want to waste her breath.

Moreover, what Lin Fan said did indeed ignite her last bit of passion.

Therefore, although it was not explicitly stated, it was tantamount to accepting Lin Fan's invitation.

Upon hearing Grandma Lin's words, Lin Fan's smile immediately became even brighter and more cheerful.

"Grandma Lin, welcome to the team. I guarantee you won't be disappointed."

Granny Lin and the monk Lingkong were both reclusive sorcerers who were not registered with the Forbidden Spells Association.

In the original timeline, if it weren't for the siren's massive invasion and their intervention, the two would have been able to save the day.

I doubt anyone knows of the existence of these two forbidden spellcasters.

Apart from Granny Lin and Ling Kong, who know each other.

Even Dean Xiao, who came along, was surprised to find that there were two forbidden spell masters in the floating city.

Dean Xiao was once again amazed by Lin Fan's talent.

If he could find such a reclusive person so easily, he wouldn't be surprised if Lin Fan dug up the ancient king in the future.

This ability was also the most important factor in persuading Granny Lin and Master Lingkong.

After all, they knew perfectly well how well they could hide.

After thirty years of seclusion, my forbidden identity was suddenly revealed by a young man.

That's roughly how it is.

Someone is cheating, and then invites you to cheat too. Who wouldn't agree to try?

As for why Lin Fan sought out these two people...

Firstly, it would add two forbidden spell fighters to our still weak forces.

Secondly, it's because Granny Lin and Master Lingkong didn't have any records of the forbidden spell gathering.

This is quite different from Dean Xiao and Old Man Bao, who are not willing to act openly.

Granny Lin and Master Lingkong could be used as a surprise force to catch the enemy off guard.

Thirdly, the forbidden spells of these two individuals will be of great help to Lin Fan's upcoming plans.

……

"Plan? Lin Fan, where are you going to play again?"

Lingling's obsession with going out and having fun is quite profound.

I was so sleepy I could barely keep my eyes open, but as soon as I heard the word 'plan,' I immediately perked up.

The tiny spirit sprang up from the mind-controlled spatial palm with a quick, agile leap.

Her bright, watery eyes shone with anticipation.

"This is..."

Looking at the adorable Lingling, Grandma Lin seemed to remember something, and her gloomy aura dissipated considerably.

"Grandma Lin, this is Lingling, the granddaughter of the old man from the Qingtian Hunting Station."

Lin Fan carefully took Lingling down from the mind-controlling hand and explained to Granny Lin and Master Lingkong.

“Lingling…what a lovely name.”

Once upon a time, she also had such a lovely granddaughter...

Grandma Lin forced a kind smile onto her wrinkled face and carefully reached out her palm, as if she wanted to pat Lingling's little head.

But then he seemed to remember something and gradually withdrew his outstretched hand.

But it couldn't be taken back...

It was only because a small, delicate hand, white with a rosy tinge, grasped that old hand.

"Hello Grandma Lin, I'm Lingling."

Her innocent and lovely smile instantly appeared in Grandma Lin's mind.

Regret, nostalgia, emotion...

Overwhelmed with emotion, a glimmer of light seemed to gradually appear in Granny Lin's lifeless eyes.

Chapter 44 Bo City and First Encounter

Bo city.

"Hehehe, Grandma Lin, here's some tofu pudding for you!"

"Okay, okay, it's very sweet, Lingling, eat more..."

The little girl and the old woman walked side by side on either side of the food street in Bocheng, just like a grandmother taking her granddaughter out for a trip.

Looking at the two who had become so familiar with each other in just one day, Lin Fan and Master Lingkong, who were following behind, couldn't help but smile.

After inviting Granny Lin and Master Lingkong to join.

The next day, being Sunday, Lingling had a day off.

Lin Fan then brought Lingling, Granny Lin, and Master Lingkong directly to Bocheng.

As for Nan Jue, Zhao Chenying, and others who usually follow Lin Fan, they had their own plans and did not come along.

"Lin Fan, Lin Fan, why did you bring me to this small town?"

Bo City is ultimately not as nice as a coastal city; Lingling got bored after only an hour of exploring.

"Heh, I brought you here to ransack your home, exterminate your clan, and abduct innocent young girls..."

Lin Fan wiped the tofu pudding from Lingling's mouth and said jokingly.

"Um?!?"
