Strangely-shaped peaks rise abruptly

  Lin Feng rushed to Mount Hengyue, but unfortunately he was one step late. A group of new apprentices were in the middle of a grand ceremony to pay respects to their master.

  The system beeped: "Target found, suitable for becoming a direct disciple of the Host."

  Lin Feng carefully searched and confirmed that the system was referring to a young man at the end of the crowd.

  That young man was somewhat slender and tight-lipped, with the other novice disciples around him casting contemptuous glances at him.

  A series of system prompts sounded in Lin Feng's ear.

  "The innate system has been sorted out, and the data for target number five is as follows."

  "Bone Frame -> 5; Enlightenment Quotient -> 10; Willpower -> 10; Lucky Aura -> 8."

  "In summary: Although his innate talent is lacking, he has great potential for development. It's recommended to take him in as a disciple and instruct him carefully, he will surely become a pillar of the sect."

  Lin Feng was stunned and his eyes widened in shock.

  What did he see? He actually saw two full marks, and in this kid's four data items, there were actually two that were full marks of 10.

  Insight, the ability to comprehend the Taoist magic and divine arts, Xiaoding and Xiao Zhen'er both have an insight of 8, meaning they can quickly understand and grasp anything they learn. As long as their master teaches them once, they can infer and understand the rest on their own, integrating and comprehending everything.

  Xiao Yan and Zhu Yi are even higher, both with a comprehension of 9, meaning not only do they learn things quickly, but can also come up with innovative ideas on their own.

  And what does the epiphany of 10 mean? It means that this stuff learns something and can make up for the original deficiencies in the Tao Fa Shen Tong with its own epiphanic power, making it perfect.

  And what about the number 10? It represents a person's strong will and determination, unyielding and unwavering to the extreme, no one and nothing can psychologically defeat him.

  How many talented people are there in the vast world of tens of millions? Even if one in a million is picked out, the number of geniuses will still be astronomical. However, only a tiny minority of them can truly succeed, because if their determination is not strong enough, they will easily waste their own talents.

  Two max-value attributes, plus a lucky aura that reaches 8 points, makes this kid's completely unqualified innate talent not so eye-piercing after all.

  As the system summarized, talent is lacking, but development potential is enormous, and it's simply against the sky!

  As he watched the ceremony unfold, Lin Feng's mind was racing: "What to do? Should I just disrupt this whole thing? The Hengyue Sect is one of the major sects in the Southern Wilderness, rivaling the Xuan Dao Sect... their power is not to be underestimated..."

  According to Na Pu Bei Zi, the Yuan Ying Lao Zu of the Heng Yue Sect fell in the Void Battlefield. At this point, the strongest expert here should be in the Golden Dan period, but it's unknown how many Golden Dan experts there are. This is where the Heng Yue Sect's mountain gate is located, and they have the geographical advantage...

  At this time, there was less than a month left before the deadline for the system task. Lin Feng's face was uncertain, and he had to calm himself down with great effort: "Forget it, let's secretly contact that kid first, what's his name?"

  "Ah, Wang Lin."

  Lin Feng watched as Wang Lin fell to the ground at the foot of Mount Hengyue, and heard the system prompt in his ear change to: "The object meets the standards, but has already taken someone else as a master, needs to dissolve the original master-disciple relationship before it can become the host's direct disciple." Lin Feng's heart was bleeding.

  "Ma De, it was just a matter of one or two days. If I had arrived here one or two days earlier, Wang Lin had just been rejected by Mount Heng and was feeling down in the dumps. It would have been easy for me to win him over as my disciple with a little bit of persuasion."

  Regret was useless now, Lin Feng gathered his emotions and began to plan.

  As Xiao Yan analyzed, Wang Lin joined the Hengyue Sect with this method, and it's certain that his master would be displeased, his fellow disciples would look down on him, and he wouldn't receive any love or care from them. His sense of belonging to the sect wouldn't be strong, but Lin Feng still had a good chance.

  Lin Feng decisively went undercover in the Hengyue Sect.

  He won't and doesn't need to enter those critical places, as long as he finds a residence where named disciples like Wang Lin gather, the guards and formation seals in such places are extremely lax, and it's hard for Lin Feng to stay.

  Lin Feng arrived at Wang Lin's residence and heard several disciples of the Heng Yue Sect mocking Wang Lin.

  "You're a downright shame to our Hengyue Sect!"

  "Wait until the inner door disciple assessment, you go jump off a cliff again? If you can still rely on suicidal jumping to get into the inner door, that's your skill."

  Wang Lin remained silent and unresponsive, allowing them to mock him as several people cursed and left the room.

  In the room, only Wang Lin was left. He let out a long breath and muttered to himself with his head down: "Dad, mom, I will definitely succeed, I want to become an immortal!"

  Lin Feng smiled and flashed into the house, saying: "In this environment, you can't become an immortal."

  Wang Lin was shocked and stared blankly at Lin Feng who suddenly appeared: "Who are you?"

  Lin Feng lightly swung his sleeve and didn't answer, instead asking: "Practicing Taoism is a long and arduous road, there aren't many beautiful scenes, but rather many thorns and obstacles. You were originally less talented than ordinary people, if you don't strive to catch up, what hope is there for success?"

  "But in such a sect, you will only be assigned to do rough chores like fetching water and chopping firewood. You are called a disciple, but actually, you are just doing miscellaneous tasks." Lin Feng said calmly: "The starting point is already low, the speed is even slower, how can you continue on this path?"

  Wang Lin pursed his lips tightly and looked at the white-robed, wide-sleeved, feather-crowned Lin Feng in front of him. After a long time, he opened his mouth and said: "Immortal Elder, what do you mean?"

  Lin Feng let out a soft sigh: "I saw you when you were just born, although your innate talent is not good, but we have fate, I had the intention of taking you as my apprentice at that time, and planned to come again when you are 16 years old, but I didn't expect you to have already entered this Hengyue Sect."

  "If you are willing, you can leave the Hengyue Sect and join my sect." Lin Feng said solemnly: "I will definitely teach you wholeheartedly, and pass on all my Taoist skills and divine powers to you. I will never treat you like a servant or look down on you like the Hengyue Sect does."

  Lin Feng chuckled lightly: "As for my abilities, if you want to see them, I can take down the Hengyue Sect in no time!"

  Wang Lin stared at Lin Feng in surprise, his eyes clearly burning with intensity, his lips moving as if to speak, but suddenly choking back.

  Moreover, his gaze towards Lin Feng even had a hint of vigilance, and his right hand subconsciously reached into his pocket.

  Lin Feng was slightly stunned, and Wang Lin's gaze at him at this moment was like a thief, which made Lin Feng unexpected.

  "He reached into his pocket with his right hand, as if to protect something?" Lin Feng's heart skipped a beat, and he silently cursed: "I'm in trouble, this kid has 8 points of good fortune, I wonder if he's picked up some treasure?"

  Wang Lin's expression was as if he thought Lin Feng knew his secret and had come to cheat him out of his treasure.

  Lin Feng was on the verge of tears, it seemed he was late, not by a little or half, this Lin Fan had already begun to turn around, his majestic aura bursting forth, and was about to embark on his own path against the heavens.

  Never mind what that super divine artifact is or whether it's inhabited by an old grandpa, in any case Wang Lin this little brat has already reached the point of hitting rock bottom and bouncing back.

  Lin Feng was disheartened in his heart, but on the surface he remained calm and composed, looking at Wang Lin with a tranquil expression: "Find it unbelievable? Never mind, you can make your own decision. I will stay in the small town at the foot of the mountain for twenty days. If you come to your senses, you can come to the town to find me."

  In the situation where Wang Lin has already developed a vigilant and defensive mentality, we cannot drag our feet or engage in endless wrangling, otherwise it will only trigger his contrarian psychology and make him even more vigilant.

  Lin Feng finished speaking and immediately unfolded the Cloud Dragon Escape Technique, disappearing without a trace.

  Wang Lin was stunned for a moment, and his heart was filled with some regret: "Was I too suspicious?"

  After descending Mount Hengyue, Lin Feng's face was gloomy, and as he walked, he pondered how to pull out the tiger's teeth from the Hengyue Sect and take away their disciples.

  "The spiritual energy of this Mount Heng is indeed more dense than our sect's, and more suitable for cultivation." A voice suddenly entered Lin Feng's ears, Lin Feng's footsteps slightly paused, hiding his figure, and after a moment, he saw two young men walking towards Mount Heng.

  "It won't be long before this place becomes our Hanging Path Sect's territory." Another young man hummed, "Our Patriarch Pu Bei Zi returned safely, while the Patriarch of the Heng Yue Sect died on the Void Battlefield. Everything is destined by heaven."

  "The strong will reside in the mountain gate cave mansion, they will be moving house soon."

  Watching the two young men disappear into the mountain forest, Lin Feng's eyebrows furrowed in contemplation.

  Perhaps this sudden rise will bring an opportunity.

  Before long, a bright smile like sunshine on a spring day appeared on Lin Feng's face.

  "This is your brother's, you can't escape!"
