32: Selling everything to support apprentices, the system's rewards are incredibly generous.

After Ye Fan officially joined, the lineup of “problem children” at the Hidden God Sect grew once again.

Senior Brother Xiao Chen, bearing the humiliation of a broken engagement, only wanted to hurry up and go slap some faces.

Second Senior Brother Shi Tian, having just regained his confidence, spent his days fetching water, chopping wood, and pondering what to eat.

Third Senior Sister Leng Yanran, the Reincarnation of the Devil Emperor, looked at everyone as if they owed her eight million, exuding an aura of “Don’t come near this lady.”

Now, there was also Fourth Junior Brother Ye Fan.

A “Mortal” incapable of Cultivating.

Li Daoxuan looked at these four Disciples, who were drastically different yet all seemed to scream “I’ll be awesome (in the future),” took a sharp breath, and felt his blood pressure start to soar again.

It wasn’t easy raising kids; even a Great Master had to sigh.

Especially raising Ye Fan—that was the hardest of all.

On the second day after accepting him, Li Daoxuan called Ye Fan to the main hall, preparing to give him “special tutoring.”

The Archaic Sacred Body was called a waste Physique in the current era for a reason.

Because the resources required to break the shackles of the Sacred Body and open the legendary Golden Sea of Misery... were astronomical.

“Revered Master, this Disciple is slow-witted and does not know where to start Cultivating.”

Ye Fan stood in the center of the hall, feeling slightly uneasy. Although he had taken a Revered Master, he still lacked confidence in his flawed Physique.

“Don’t worry.”

Li Daoxuan waved his hand, looking like he “had everything under control.”

“Your Physique is quite special; you cannot Cultivate using conventional methods.”

“Simply put, you are a tractor with a huge fuel tank but no fuel. The first step we need to take now is... fill the tank.”

Fill the tank?

Ye Fan looked bewildered.

Li Daoxuan did not explain.

He simply snapped his fingers.

“Hualalalala—!!!”

The next second.

Ye Fan’s eyes were practically blinded by the glare.

In the center of the main hall, a small mountain constructed entirely of Spirit Stones appeared out of thin air!

Each of those Spirit Stones was crystal clear, radiating dense Spiritual Qi. Low Grade, Medium Grade, High Grade... there were even a few Top-Grade Spirit Stones mixed in, shimmering with a dreamlike glow.

This was the entirety of the wealth Li Daoxuan had accumulated from “robbing homes and looting property” during this period!

The treasury of the Blood Fiend Sect.

The “compensation for emotional distress” from the Taiyi Holy Land Elder.

And the scales he had just plucked from those nine Flood Dragons (which could also be used as Spirit Stones).

All totaled, there were... a hundred thousand catties!

“M-Revered Master...”

Ye Fan’s voice was trembling; he had never seen so much money in his life.

He felt his breathing might stop.

“Th-this is for me?”

“Or else?”

Li Daoxuan crossed his legs, his tone as casual as if he were saying, “Here’s a steamed bun for you.”

“These Origin Stones are just an appetizer.”

“Take them.”

“Eat them like candy.”

“When you finish eating them, come find me again.”

Eat them like candy?!

Ye Fan felt his worldview suffer an unprecedented shock.

He looked at the small mountain, which was taller than him, then looked at his Revered Master’s expression, which seemed to say, “This small amount is hardly worth mentioning.”

Moved.

An unparalleled wave of emotion instantly overwhelmed him.

Thinking of himself, Ye Fan, who had endured scorn and experienced the harshness of the world for eighteen years.

When had anyone ever helped him with such generosity?

How could this just be Revered Master and Disciple?

This was clearly a parent who gave him a second life!

“Revered Master!”

Ye Fan fell to his knees with a “thump,” tears welling up, kowtowing repeatedly.

“This Disciple has no way to repay this kindness! I can only...”

“Alright, alright, stop with the formalities.”

Li Daoxuan couldn’t stand this, so he quickly interrupted him.

“Hurry up and eat—oh, no, hurry up and Cultivate.”

“Don’t delay my plucking... ahem, don’t delay your success.”

Just as Ye Fan held a handful of Spirit Stones, too excited to speak.

Inside Li Daoxuan’s mind.

That long-awaited, wonderful notification sound started spamming the screen!

[Ding!]

[Ding! Detected that the Host gifted Disciple Ye Fan one hundred thousand catties of “Low Grade Origin Stones”!]

[Disciple Ye Fan was moved to tears and swore undying loyalty, triggering the “Sending Charcoal in the Snow” special bond!]

[Calculating Critical Strike Multiplier...]

[Congratulations, Host! One hundred times Critical Strike triggered!]

[This return reward: **ten thousand catties of Divine Source**! Already issued to System Space!]

“Boom!”

Li Daoxuan felt as if a magnitude ten earthquake had occurred inside his System Space.

A giant mountain, more than ten times larger than the previous Spirit Stone mountain and entirely constructed of golden Divine Source, descended with a crash!

The pure energy fluctuations nearly burst his System Space.

Divine Source!

That was something ten thousand times more valuable than a Top-Grade Spirit Stone!

It was strategic material used by Holy Lands to Seal their foundations and extend the lives of their Old Ancestors!

A small piece was enough to make Soul Transformation mighty experts fight tooth and nail!

And now, he had... ten thousand catties?!

“Awesome!”

Li Daoxuan suppressed the urge to roar up at the sky, maintaining a cool and indifferent expression on his face.

But his slightly trembling fingers and the corners of his mouth, which were almost splitting to his ears, betrayed his inner ecstasy.

Is this... the joy of a rich madam?

No.

It's the joy of being a rich madam's father!

“Ahem.”

Li Daoxuan cleared his throat, feeling that this batch of wool wasn't enough.

He pulled out several bottles and jars from his System Space and tossed them to Ye Fan.

“Eating dry rations alone can make you choke. Here, drink some water.”

“These Medicinal Pills were ruined when I refined them years ago. I originally planned to feed them to pigs, but since you're pitiful, I’ll give them to you.”

“Take one bottle a day. Don’t be thrifty.”

Ye Fan caught them in a flurry.

He opened them and looked inside.

[Dragon Tiger Intercourse Pill]

[Nine Orifices Golden Pill]

[Bodhi Transforming Body Saliva]

...They were all ancient Divine Pills rumored to have been lost long ago!

Taking out any one of them would be enough to cause a bloody storm in the Eastern Wasteland!

Yet now, Revered Master called these... ruined?

And planned to... feed them to pigs?!

Ye Fan’s tears once again streamed down his face against his will.

[Ding! Gifted a pile of “ruined” Medicinal Pills, triggering a thousand times Critical Strike! Return reward: **three bottles of Nine Revolutions Sacred Body Pill**!]

[Ding! Gifted the “tattered” Cultivation Technique, the Sea of Wheels Scroll of the Dao Scripture, triggering ten thousand times Critical Strike! Return reward: **complete version of the Undying Heavenly Art**!]

[Ding! ...]

The System’s notification sound kept ringing, like firecrackers during the New Year.

Li Daoxuan felt like he was becoming numb.

Looking at his System Space, which was completely stuffed with various divine objects, he experienced “the troubles of happiness” for the first time.

There was too much stuff.

He didn’t even know which one to use first.

Meanwhile, on the other side.

Ye Fan was already completely immersed in Cultivation.

He was like a Taotie who had starved for hundreds of years, frantically devouring the Spirit Stones and Medicinal Pills.

His Dantian Sea of Misery, that desolate wasteland silent for eighteen years, finally began to ripple slightly.

Golden ripples.

Although still very weak, that was... the light of hope!

“I can Cultivate... I truly can Cultivate!”

Ye Fan felt that trace of faint spiritual power within him, trembling with excitement.

He looked up at his Revered Master, who was sitting in the Grand Revered Master’s Chair, resting with his eyes closed, looking as if he had just done a trivial little thing.

His heart was filled with boundless gratitude and reverence.

For me, a useless person.

Revered Master... actually took out the entire foundation of the Sect!

Those Spirit Stones, those Divine Pills, were probably all the resources accumulated by generations of the Hidden God Sect, right?

Yet now, Revered Master had used all of them on me alone, without the slightest bit of stinginess.

How heavy was this debt of gratitude!

“Revered Master bankrupted the Sect for my sake...”

Ye Fan’s eyes were red-rimmed as he secretly swore in his heart.

“If I cannot prove the Dao and become an Emperor in this life to repay Revered Master’s kindness, I, Ye Fan, swear I am not a man!”

And at this moment.

Li Daoxuan, who was resting with his eyes closed, had only one thought in his mind.

“Why is this silly boy eating so slowly?”

“Hurry up!”

“When you’re done, your Revered Master here still has the Divine Source that was just rebated.”

“If I don’t feed you until you achieve Major Achievement Sacred Body, I, your Revered Master, will feel like I’ve lost out!”
