You were put to guard a shabby mountain gate, yet all your disciples became Immortal Emperors.

After Lin Zhou finished speaking, he looked at the dream team he had built with satisfaction and began to assign accommodations.

"Xiao Fan, Shi Yi, you two will stay in those two large Purple Bamboo Retreats."

"Li Youde, Zhang Youcai, you'll stay in the smaller room next door."

Finally, he pointed to the most dilapidated and run-down thatched hut in the corner, where even the roof leaked out.

"Ye Ge, that room is yours."

Upon hearing this arrangement, Ye Ge was not disappointed at all; instead, she breathed a long sigh of relief.

Very good!

The worse the accommodations, the less this demon values ​​me!

The lower the utility value, the safer it is!

It seems my strategy of feigning madness was correct!

He even managed a grateful smile at Lin Zhou.

"Thank God... Thank you, Master!"

Lin Zhou's lips twitched as he looked at Lin Zhou's "I got a great deal" expression.

This kid's brain circuits are definitely different from normal people's.

……

It was late at night.

The entire Xiaoqiong Mountain was shrouded in peace and tranquility.

But rustling sounds could be heard coming from the dilapidated thatched hut where Ye Ge lived.

He can't sleep.

As a patient with severe paranoia and a reborn individual, a sense of security is more important to him than anything else.

He was seen crouching down, bustling about with practiced ease around his dilapidated hut.

Dig holes, bury spikes, set up tripwires, spread lime...

The process was so smooth and efficient; it was clear he was a seasoned craftsman.

The level of professionalism was so high that even the most skilled mechanical engineers of the past would have to call him an ancestor.

He wanted to transform his doghouse into an impregnable military fortress!

Just then, the door of the bamboo house next door creaked open.

Xiao Fan walked out sleepily, ready to take care of his physiological needs.

He had just walked to the foot of a tree when he saw a small, thin figure digging a hole in the moonlight not far away.

"Third junior brother?"

Xiao Fan rubbed his eyes, a little dazed.

Why are you out digging a hole in the middle of the night instead of sleeping?

Was he sleepwalking?

Out of a sense of camaraderie among fellow disciples, Xiao Fan kindly went over to offer his assistance.

"Third junior brother, are you...?"

Before he could finish speaking, his foot suddenly lost its footing!

Holy crap!

Xiao Fan exclaimed in surprise as he was instantly caught by a large net that sprang up from the ground, and then a rope "whooshed" him into the air, hanging upside down from a tree.

Lin Zhou, inside his room, watched everything happening outside through his divine sense and almost burst out laughing.

These two are such a handful!

Ye Ge was startled by the noise, thinking that his master, the Heavenly Demon, had come to check on him. He grabbed a sharpened wooden stick and rushed over.

"Who?!"

Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be his senior brother, swaying in the air like a giant rice dumpling.

"Big...Senior Brother?"

"Third junior brother, you...you..."

Xiao Fan was so dizzy from being shaken that he didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

After the misunderstanding was cleared up, Xiao Fan was not angry at all. Instead, he looked at Ye Ge with admiration.

"Third junior brother, your sense of vigilance is too strong! We should all learn from you!"

Ye Ge: "..."

This Emperor Yan doesn't seem to be very bright.

Lin Zhou watched from the shadows when a system notification suddenly sounded in his mind.

[Ding! Detected that the third disciple, Ye Ge, is extremely insecure. Host, please provide timely care (physical or psychological) to help him establish a healthy sense of belonging to the sect.]

"Caring?" Lin Zhou curled his lip. "I think he needs to be taught a lesson."

However, since the system had spoken, he couldn't ignore it.

He was also afraid that the system would forcibly assign him the Evil-Repelling Sword Technique.

Moreover, this Ye Ge is indeed a troublemaker, and we need to find a way to completely intimidate him.

Let him know that in the face of absolute strength, any clever tricks are useless.

Lin-Yang Yongxin-zhou decided to give his new third apprentice a big welcome gift.

He slowly walked out of the bamboo house and came up behind Ye Ge, who was still figuring out how to dig the second hole.

"Having fun digging around?"

A lazy voice suddenly sounded from behind.

Ye Ge froze, and the wooden stick in her hand fell to the ground with a "thud".

He slowly turned around and saw the face that he both respected and feared.

"Master...Master!"

"Stop digging, it's a waste of your energy."

Lin Zhou yawned, then flipped his hand over.

An ancient and heavy martial arts manual, entirely cast from an unknown bronze, appeared in his hands.

On the cover of the manual are four ancient seal characters in flowing, elegant script, each character exuding an aura of reincarnation that makes the soul tremble!

The Secret of Reincarnation and Life!

Ye Ge only glanced at it, and her eyes almost popped out of their sockets!

This... isn't this the fragment he painstakingly obtained from an ancient ruin in his previous life?!

How could... how could it appear in its complete form in the hands of this demon?!

The manual landed in Ye Ge's arms; it wasn't heavy, but it sent a shiver down his spine.

"Your old, tattered technique from your past life would have left you crippled even if you practiced it until you died. Just make do with this one."

Lin Zhou spoke lazily, his tone as casual as if he were tossing a toilet paper.

Linzhou, are you just going to reveal your hand to him already???

How...how did he know I was a reincarnated person?!

Ye Ge's brain went blank with a buzzing sound.

How...how did he know that my cultivation technique from my past life was incomplete?!

Did he secretly search my soul while I was unconscious?!

A chill ran from Ye Ge's tailbone straight to the top of his head!

With trembling hands, he turned to the first page of the manual.

boom!

A vast and powerful aura of the laws of reincarnation swept over him, instantly cleansing his soul!

That's right!

This is it!

This is the complete version of the "Reincarnation and Life-and-Death Manual" that he had been searching for in his previous life but could not see in its entirety until his death!

At this moment, doubt, fear, shock... all sorts of emotions intertwined and eventually turned into one thought.

Who cares if he's a demon!

Who cares if he's going to eat me!

I'm determined to practice this technique!

Although Ye Ge was terrified inside, her body betrayed her.

Without saying a word, he immediately sat down cross-legged and began circulating his spiritual energy according to the complete manual.

hum-

In an instant, the sky above Xiaoqiong Mountain changed color!

The dense spiritual energy around him seemed to have found an outlet, rushing wildly into Ye Ge's body, forming a huge, terrifying vortex that was half vibrant with life and half deathly still!

The pillar of fortune above his head, which had been flashing wildly, finally stabilized under the guidance of the complete version of the cultivation technique, and eventually settled into a dazzling purple!

At the same time, heavenly music resounded in Linzhou's mind.

[Ding! The host has successfully taught the disciple a high-grade Heaven-rank cultivation technique, triggering a 100x critical hit return!]

[Congratulations, host, you have obtained the Immortal-grade cultivation technique "Six Paths of Reincarnation" (Volume 1)!]

[Congratulations, host! Your foundation is solid, and your cultivation is being restored... Your cultivation has increased to: Early Nascent Soul Stage (Void Realm)!]

Linzhou is comfortable again!
