Weird, my gaming life

After becoming Lin Yuan's apprentice, Li Changqing checked on Lin Yuan's progress in other martial arts. He became even more excited when he discovered that Lin Yuan had mastered the Dragon Tiger Skill, and kept praising Zhao Ran for finding a treasure.

When Zhao Ran heard his master's praise, a hint of joy appeared between his brows.

Within the Ming Dynasty, the nation was founded on military strength, and in recent years the court had placed great importance on warriors. This was because the northern barbarians were constantly harassing the Ming borders, and the frontline war was intense. As a result, the court desperately needed more martial arts masters to join the war to defend the country.

Therefore, the imperial court provides considerable support to martial arts masters. As long as a top-notch master is willing to go to the front line to join the war of resistance, he will be promoted to at least a centurion in the initial stage.

Don't underestimate the position of centurion. In the context of the rampant aristocratic families in the Ming Dynasty, becoming a centurion means breaking down class barriers. With his junior brother's talent, Zhao Ran believes that as long as he is given a chance, he will surely soar to great heights.

When I introduce him to my family, it means that my family's influence will extend from the civil service system to the military. In this chaotic world, what is more reassuring than the military?

Thinking of this, Zhao Ran quickly stepped forward.

"Master, it's getting late. I'll take my junior brother to his room to rest now!"

Li Changqing glanced at Lin Yuan reluctantly and nodded.

"Go, my disciple, and take your junior brother to tidy up his room. Come back first thing tomorrow morning, and I will teach you new martial arts and alchemy techniques!"

"Yes, Master!"

Zhao Ran bowed respectfully, then led Lin Yuan down from the second floor of Danyang Palace to the backyard of Danyang Palace.

The two soon arrived at an exquisite villa. Zhao Ran opened the gate, looked around at the surroundings, and a trace of sadness flashed across his face.

"Junior brother, this was originally the residence of our eldest brother. Now it is entrusted to you. I hope you will cherish it!"

Lin Yuan glanced at the grieving Zhao Ran, "Your senior sister has passed away; please don't be too sad!"

Zhao Ran nodded. "I've already packed everything up, Junior Brother. If there's anything you'd like to change, feel free to do so. I won't disturb your rest any longer; I'll come find you first thing tomorrow morning!"

Lin Yuan cupped his hands in thanks, "Thank you, Senior Sister!"

Lin Yuan then saw Zhao Ran leave the place.

Upon entering his new residence, Lin Yuan finally felt relieved after a day of worry. Looking at the surroundings, he suddenly felt a sense of unreality, because compared to the villa where he had previously lived in the Xiaoyang lineage, this place was like heaven and earth.

The courtyard here has mountains and water, and the scenery is unique. It is obviously the place where important disciples live. From this, it can also be seen that when Xiao Weiran accepted him as a disciple, he did not pay much attention to him, a disciple who was promoted from the miscellaneous servants' courtyard.

Perhaps to him it was just a casual, insignificant thing he did, and as for the prospective disciple being promoted to a personal disciple, he probably never even considered it.

Lin Yuan shook his head, shaking off the frustration he felt under Xiao Weiran's tutelage, and then began to do his own thing, not touching anything in the villa.

First of all, the furnishings here suit his aesthetic taste. Lin Yuan isn't someone who pays too much attention to his living environment; as long as there's a bed and a place to eat, that's enough. As for whether it suits his aesthetic taste, well, in his previous life, he was just an ordinary person who wasn't very wealthy, so why would he be so particular?

Since he arrived at the Danyang lineage early that night and didn't have the hassle of accompanying Xiao Lingling to school, he had plenty of time to practice martial arts.

His childhood martial arts skills naturally progressed to the fifth level, reaching the second-rate level.

In addition, his Tiger Step has reached a high level of proficiency, which has also added 6 points of stamina and 20 points of evasion.

Feeling the power within his body at this moment, Lin Yuan finally felt a sense of security, and his heart was no longer so tense. Although there were first-class experts and those at the Perfected Acquired Realm above him, it was often the second-class experts who actually did the work.

As for top-tier masters and those at even higher levels, they rarely make a move easily. This is because those who reach the top level or above are all in high positions, and it's not so easy for them to be defeated. Everyone practices martial arts to enjoy wealth and honor; who would want to fight and kill for no reason?

Lin Yuan let out a long breath and tidied himself up a bit before hearing a soft knock on the courtyard gate.

"Senior sister, wait a moment, I'll be right there!"

After saying that, Lin Yuan quickly washed his face with cold water, then strode towards the courtyard gate. As soon as he opened the gate, he saw the girl's pure and lovely face, which was rosy and adorable in the morning mist.

Good morning, senior sister!

Lin Yuan greeted him with a smile.

Good morning, junior brother!

Zhao Ran returned Lin Yuan's smile with a touch of elegance and charm, and the two then chatted as they walked to the second floor of Danyang Palace.

As soon as Lin Yuan opened the door, he saw the old Taoist priest leisurely drinking tea and waiting in the room. Seeing the two of them arrive, the old Taoist priest showed them a satisfied smile.

"I didn't expect you junior brothers and sisters to get along so well on the first day. It seems it's fitting that I, this old Taoist, have taken on such a talented disciple."

"Master, don't you know the depth of my relationship with my junior brother? We're brothers who've risked our lives for each other, how could our bond not be strong!"

Zhao Ran walked briskly to Li Changqing's side, grabbed his arm, and said coquettishly.

"Haha! Good! Good! Although my Danyang lineage has very few disciples, we are harmonious, which has always been my pride. I hope you will look after each other when you are out in the future!"

"Don't worry! From now on, Master, Senior Sister's affairs are my affairs!"

Lin Yuan quickly expressed his opinion.

Li Changqing stroked his beard with satisfaction, even more pleased with his newly accepted disciple.

Although his disciple came from a humble background and was very young, from these two initial interactions, he could see that although his disciple had his own ambitions, he was calm, steady, and not arrogant or impatient, which was quite rare.

Li Changqing nodded, then didn't say anything more, and led the two of them towards the third floor.

Upon entering the third floor, Lin Yuan discovered that although the entire third floor was very spacious, there was only one room.

Li Changqing took out a key and opened the door. Lin Yuan saw that the entire third floor was like a library, filled with densely packed books, which made Lin Yuan very envious.

"This is where my Danyang lineage keeps its martial arts manuals and alchemy scriptures. I am not very proficient in martial arts, but over the years, many elders in the sect have asked me to refine pills, and quite a few have exchanged martial arts manuals for them."

"My disciple, I probably can't help you with martial arts; you'll have to rely on yourself. However, I can teach you everything about alchemy; it just depends on whether you're willing to master it."

Lin Yuan was worried about not having a way to make money, so why would he be unwilling? This was alchemy! Because of the game panel, Lin Yuan only needed to increase his proficiency to perfect his martial arts, so it seemed that pills were not that important to him.

But this is unimportant to Lin Yuan, who has already cheated.

For ordinary people to master a martial art, it's all about consuming elixirs. This is why, even though the Fifth Elder is the weakest elder in Qinghe Palace, no one dares to offend him.

After all, in the entire Qinghe Palace, the only person who could refine pills, or rather, refine high-quality pills, was the Fifth Elder, a precious gem.

Offending the Fifth Elder means that disciples of that lineage may fall behind those of other martial lineages. In addition, obtaining other resources within the sect requires strength, which leads to the Fifth Elder having a very high actual status in Qinghe Palace.

The reason why Xiao Weiran was so tired when he returned from the last incident was because he had to find a way to deal with the Fifth Elder.

However, he was unable to handle this matter fairly. First of all, the eldest disciple who was suspected was his chosen successor and an important person to whom he entrusted his daughter. If his eldest disciple was suspected, what would happen to his daughter in the future?

Xiao Weiran was essentially deceiving himself, but he had already placed a heavy bet and could only go down this path to the bitter end. Even if it meant offending the Fifth Elder, he wouldn't allow Ling Xiao to have any stain on his reputation.

Therefore, he had no choice but to expel Lin Yuan, the nominal disciple who framed his fellow disciples, from the sect in order to clear his eldest disciple of suspicion.

However, he never expected that the disciple he had expelled would suddenly become a direct disciple of the Danyang lineage.

The expressions of Xiao Yang's faction upon hearing this news were quite varied and particularly interesting.
