Xuantian Continent.
The Eastern Region, Ancient Dao Heavenly Sect.
Inside a cave dwelling on Qingyun Peak, Ye Yun sat on the ground, his expression extremely astonished.
"It's over… this transmigration couldn't have come at a worse time!"
Just half a day ago, his soul appeared here after dying from overwork. The vast amount of information that flooded his mind made him realize he had transmigrated to a fantasy world.
The problem was that the body he had taken over was about to die a tragic death.
This body belonged to the last of the Ancient Dao Heavenly Sect's Ten Chief Elders, whose name, like his own, was Ye Yun. He was a prodigy of the sect and the youngest Chief Elder in history!
But a year ago, he had secretly gone to an unannounced ancient secret realm on behalf of the sect to explore. Perhaps due to an informant, he was ambushed by experts from the Nine Nether Demonic Sect along the way.
He not only sustained severe injuries in that battle, but his foundation was also damaged. Although the Sect Master and other elders arrived in time, he barely managed to save his life, but his cultivation was reduced to less than one-tenth of its former strength.
What was even more deadly was that he only discovered today that he had been secretly poisoned with the Ghost Flame Poison of the Nine Nether Demonic Sect. By the time he found out, the poison had already taken effect.
The notoriety of the Ghost Flame Poison was well-known throughout the Eastern Region. Even powerful cultivators would be severely weakened if infected.
Now, with the new poison and old wounds, his current body was riddled with damage, and he was estimated to have only a few more hours to live.
Unless, perhaps, he could find a healing pill above Grade Seven, his injuries might be stabilized.
But the problem was that the Ancient Dao Heavenly Sect couldn't produce any pills above Grade Seven. As for Grade Seven alchemists, they were as rare as phoenix feathers in the entire Eastern Region. They were all highly respected individuals. Not only would it be difficult to find one within a few hours, but even if he found one, why would they help him?
Therefore, with his current conditions, he was almost certainly doomed, with only a few hours of life remaining.
Thinking of this, Ye Yun's expression grew even more somber.
"What terrible luck. I just transmigrated, and I'm already on my way out…"
Just as despair set in, a voice, like the dawn, sounded.
[Extraordinary Master System is binding!]
[Prompt: By imparting cultivation, pills, items, etc., to disciples, you can receive a random multiple of the reward, capped at ten thousand times!]
[Prompt: The higher the random multiple, the lower the probability of its occurrence!]
[Prompt: Each disciple can be imparted and rewarded once per month for each type of resource (cultivation, pills, items, etc.). For new disciples, the first type imparted can be imparted twice in the first month!]
This voice startled Ye Yun, but he quickly fell into ecstasy.
As expected, systems, though late, had arrived!
"Ten thousand times reward…"
Ye Yun was overjoyed. The system's effects were concise and easy to understand.
For example, if he imparted ten years of cultivation to a disciple, he would randomly receive ten years multiplied by a random factor of cultivation. It was an absolute win-win.
Perhaps with good luck, he might directly receive a ten thousand times return, gaining a hundred thousand years of cultivation. Wouldn't that mean instant ascension?
Even if his luck was terrible and he didn't get a high multiplier, the system didn't mention any limit on the number of disciples he could take. He could continuously take in disciples, thus achieving a qualitative leap through quantitative change!
For instance, setting a small goal of taking in a hundred disciples and imparting some cultivation to each would result in a massive return.
Of course, this was just speculation, and he didn't intend to accept disciples casually. Otherwise, encountering a few scrupulous individuals could instantly cure his low blood pressure.
"In short, to become my disciple, other things are secondary, but one's character must be impeccable!"
Even if it meant wasting the opportunity for a rebate, he didn't want to see any despicable individuals benefit from him!
After pondering the system, Ye Yun began to consider taking in disciples.
For many years, his original body had focused solely on cultivation and had never taken in any disciples. He had to find a reliable one quickly, or his injuries wouldn't hold up!
Currently, he only had one Grade Five Yang Restoration Pill, his last asset. He had to impart it as soon as possible to receive a reward!
However, within such a short time, where could he find a disciple with a pure heart and good character…
A golden talisman flew from outside the cave and landed before him. As soon as Ye Yun took it, a voice sounded.
"Elder Ye, please come to the main hall immediately. We need to discuss the matter of an affiliated disciple with all the elders present."
Ye Yun, inheriting the memories, immediately recognized it as the Sect Master's transmission talisman. He couldn't help but feel a bit curious.
Affiliated disciples were those from forces affiliated with the Ancient Dao Heavenly Sect. The Sect Master was summoning all the elders for them. What had happened?
Ye Yun immediately summoned his Qingyun Sword and stepped onto it, instantly soaring out of the cave dwelling, leaving a stream of spiritual energy hundreds of meters long in the air.
"A fantasy world, truly remarkable!"
Looking down at the Ancient Dao Heavenly Sect, which stood between the mountain peaks and the sea of clouds, and the disciples occasionally flying by on their swords, it was incredibly cool!
In just a moment, Ye Yun arrived at the main hall. Even before reaching the entrance, he could hear the arguments between the First Elder and the Second Elder inside.
"The girl's family is from your affiliated region. Shouldn't you be the one to take her in?"
"You're talking nonsense! If it's so easy, why don't you take her yourself?"
"What does it have to do with me? Our Sunset Peak has no resources to waste on her!"
"Damn it! As if the resources here are meant for wasting!"
"Both of you, quiet down. Let's all think about where that girl should go."
With the Sect Master Gu Chen's words, the two finally stopped arguing, snorting coldly but still glaring at each other.
Gu Chen then noticed Ye Yun's arrival and beckoned with a smile.
"Elder Ye, hurry over. This meeting was missing only you!"
Although Ye Yun's strength had declined day by day over the past year, he had suffered his injuries for the sect, so Gu Chen had always been polite to him.
The other elders were also mostly respectful of him.
Ye Yun nodded and, after taking his seat, looked at Gu Chen and asked curiously.
"Sect Master, I heard you discussing the whereabouts of a girl. What does that mean?"
Upon hearing this, Gu Chen couldn't help but sigh and slowly explained.
"You've been in seclusion and don't know. Not long ago, our affiliated Lin family was annihilated by the Black Demon Gate, a subordinate of the Nine Nether Demonic Sect."
"Over a thousand people from the Lin family were slaughtered. Only the Lin family's daughter, Lin Xueyan, managed to escape."
"However, she was severely injured, especially her foundation. Without a Grade Seven healing pill, she can't recover and is effectively half crippled."
"Currently, that child has been kneeling in the square for three days and three nights, begging to be accepted into our Ancient Dao Heavenly Sect to seek an opportunity for revenge."
At the end of his words, Gu Chen couldn't help but sigh with sadness.
"I heard that child originally had good talent, excellent character, and perseverance. She was gentle and kind to those around her, yet merciless when facing enemies. Truly an exceptional seedling."
"With her current condition, without high-quality pills, accepting her would be a great burden."
"It's a difficult situation!"
After he finished speaking, the hall fell silent.
Although Lin Xueyan's sincerity deeply moved them, no one was truly willing to accept a disciple who offered no return on investment.
As everyone was in distress, a hearty voice broke the silence.
"What's so difficult? That girl, I'll take her!"
