Immortality: Starting with a grave, I'm invincible when burying corpses.

Listening to Bai Xi's narration, Mu An nodded thoughtfully.

It's so classic, truly a classic among classics.

I don't know where the old master copied the script from.

Ye Lin, the owner of this teahouse, is truly a standard protagonist template, with an extraordinary and unbelievable life story.

A visitor from another world, a standard name, and a cheat-like advantage—this is definitely the protagonist's setup.

Opening a teahouse will attract troublemakers, and these troublemakers are quite systematic, their skills gradually improving, so that people don't lose their sense of propriety.

Once they had established a little foundation, the hero-saves-the-damsel-in-distress plot began.

It's one thing for a hero to save a damsel in distress, but the person he saves happens to be the daughter of the Marquis of Zhennan, the most beloved princess in the Southern Frontier.

Her beauty was so stunning it could shame the moon and flowers, a talent described as a once-in-a-millennium occurrence, though she possessed a somewhat awkward personality.

Coupled with a conflict with her family, being a newcomer to the world, and suffering setbacks, the timing is practically the standard template for the empress in a novel.

The script was so over-the-top that Mu An was speechless. It seemed like the old master had simply copied the plot directly from a technologically advanced world where cyborg technology was more advanced but art was relatively lacking.

If he hadn't suddenly decided to come to Southern Xinjiang, Mu An could have imagined how the story would have unfolded.

Ye Lin is the protagonist, and Bai Xi is the main wife. They use this as a springboard to meet the beauties of all ages in the Southern Frontier and eventually form a complete harem.

Seeing Bai Xi still holding a sliver of hope for the shopkeeper, Mu An's urge to complain grew stronger, and finally he took a sip of the spirit wine in silence.

A flash of silvery light appeared in Mu An's pupils, revealing all the secrets of the teahouse and Ye Lin.

This teahouse itself is a magic weapon, Ye Lin's golden touch.

The teahouse formed a simple bond with Ye Lin. Although the bond was not very strong, as long as Ye Lin was within the teahouse, he could use the teahouse's resources.

The knife on the counter is a high-quality magical artifact.

The knife and the teahouse were paired together, with some restrictions set.

As long as someone causes trouble in the teahouse, it will trigger the basic setting of the spiritual treasure, allowing Ye Lin to use the power of this sword.

With the help of the spiritual treasures and the teahouse, in this teahouse, unless you are a cheat like Mu Ling'er who is covered in treasures, an ordinary Celestial Martial Saint would be no match for Ye Lin.

Thinking about it this way, it's not surprising that the little girl in front of her would mistakenly believe that Ye Lin was some kind of reclusive master.

This young girl is still quite naive and hasn't read many imaginative novels, so she's never seen anything like this before.

In the martial arts stories of Daqi, there are many great figures who test their juniors. The great figures in the stories are all strange in temperament, as if they have lost their minds, and they insist on coming up with all sorts of ways to torment and test their juniors.

Having read so many stories like this, it's not surprising that Bai Xi sees Ye Lin as a powerful figure testing her.

Even Ye Lin's usual ignorance would be automatically interpreted by her as a deliberate test from Ye Lin.

Who knows, this young girl might even dream of achieving great things in the future, standing shoulder to shoulder with Ye Lin, like a perfect couple...

If Mu An were just an ordinary terrestrial immortal with insufficient understanding of the world, upon first seeing this scene, he might have thought that Ye Lin was likely a chosen one destined for greatness.

In other words, even if Huaqing Sanxian from the Bai family saw this situation, he might think the two were quite a good match.

Bai Xi possesses the appearance of a celestial being, and Ye Lin seems to have the same quality as her; the two young people develop feelings for each other.

It's not surprising that the resources of southern Xinjiang were used to pave the way for Ye Lin and help him achieve great things.

Unfortunately, from Mu An's current perspective, everything is clearly visible, with no secrets whatsoever. The schemes involved can be seen through at a glance.

Ye Lin's soul was retrieved by the Old Master from a realm he named "Qiaoji Realm".

Perhaps he was hit by a dump truck, perhaps he was struck by lightning, perhaps he was gored by a cow, or perhaps he died suddenly while working...

All of these are possible; there are many ways to travel through time, and it is truly unbelievable.

Ye Lin's physical condition was even simpler; the old Celestial Master simply selected a disciple with above-average aptitude from a Taoist temple in the southern border region.

It wasn't that the Celestial Master didn't want to find someone with better aptitude, but rather that the souls of the "Skillful Realm" couldn't adapt to the bodies of the Nine Realms.

The physical bodies of beings in the Nine Realms are bestowed by Heaven and Earth, and they possess their own mysteries. The better their aptitude, the greater the pressure of the laws they bear.

Even with the old celestial master's deliberate protection, a body with good aptitude would directly burst Ye Lin's soul.

Compared to the Nine Realms, the "Skillful Realm" is far too fragile.

The teahouse and the spirit sword behind the counter were both crafted by the old Celestial Master to serve as Ye Lin's cheat code, allowing him to easily adapt to life in the Nine Realms.

All of these factors combined to form the so-called "protagonist" Ye Lin.

Apart from the fact that Ye Lin has absolutely no chance of becoming a terrestrial immortal, everything else meets the standards of a protagonist.

What appears to be a thriving life is actually being manipulated by a powerful force behind the scenes.

If it weren't for Mu An's sudden idea, everything would have proceeded smoothly.

The old celestial master manipulated everything on Mount Sixiang like a puppet on a string.

Watching Ye Lin probe the scope of the Heavenly Dao Laws step by step, exploring what things the world allows and what things are completely forbidden by the laws.

All the information obtained will contribute to the Old Celestial Master replacing the Heavenly Dao.

Moreover, the appearance of a pawn like "Ye Lin" in the martial arts world can add some variables to the world, and may indirectly lead to the birth of one or two powerful figures.

It can be said to serve multiple purposes.

……

Having figured everything out, Mu An felt no joy whatsoever.

Ye Lin's situation reminded him of his own.

Just now, Mu An suddenly realized that, despite searching through his memories, he couldn't find out how he died in the other world.

Not only that, he couldn't even remember whether he was an orphan in another world or had parents who loved him very much.

This information seemed to exist as if it did not exist; no matter how hard he searched his memory, he could not find any relevant content.

It was as if he had naturally arrived in the Nine Realms, naturally become Mu An, and naturally adapted to this world.

This is abnormal, extremely abnormal.

With Mu An's current level of cultivation, even if thousands of years have passed, it is impossible for his memory to become blurred.

Moreover, if those less important memories still exist, why would such an important thing be completely forgotten?

What secrets does the Book of Creation hold, and who exactly is it?

……

"Senior? Senior!"

The raised tone pulled Mu An back from her thoughts, and she saw Bai Xi looking somewhat worried.

The little girl fidgeted, clutching the hem of her clothes as she looked toward the counter. After hesitating for a long time, she finally whispered.

"Senior, perhaps Ye Lin lied to me, but he is indeed a good person..."

Mu An didn't know whether Ye Lin was a good person or not, nor did he make any judgment on it; he simply glanced at the situation inside the teahouse.

While the two were chatting, the teahouse became much busier. At that moment, more than a dozen women dressed in palace attire walked in through the teahouse entrance.

Upon seeing who it was, Bai Xi suddenly stood up, looking as if she had seen a ghost.

"The Burning Fire Sect, the Dark Feather Guard, the Sky Patrol Division, and your family's Spring and Autumn Terrace—twelve Celestial Martial Saints have come together."

Do you think a fight will break out?
