Special Effects For Cultivating Immortals, I Became An Immortal By Cheating
Chapter 7: Asking For Forgiveness
Lin Fan naturally knew about their arrival.
However, he did not respond.
He continued fishing.
For those who enjoy fishing, only hunger can make them stop. Wind and rain are nothing to them.
Coincidentally, Lin Fan is one of these people.
After releasing his power, the fish that had originally fled came back and fought over Lin Fan's hook.
Obviously, they were scared by the effects of the Nascent Soul just now. They thought they had angered Lin Fan, so they rushed to offer themselves, trying to exchange half of the fish clan for a chance to preserve their bloodline.
[Congratulations to the host for successfully fooling the leader of the carp clan and gaining one year of cultivation.]
"The leader of the carp clan?" Lin Fan muttered without much interest. "It seems like they were scared by my effects. They didn't bite my hook before, but now you'll see how I deal with you!"
He released the fish he had caught back into the lake and continued fishing, repeating this process.
Time passed quickly while fishing.
In the blink of an eye, the leaders of the bear clan and the other two clans had been silent behind him for half a day. Bai Chuan also stood by his side with a serious expression, while the two women helped Lin Fan a little while he fished.
At this moment, Lin Fan caught a fat carp.
However, he did not release this one back into the lake. Lin Fan grabbed it, and normally, this fish should have struggled madly.
But that was not the case. This carp was extremely calm, like a dead fish.
However, there was a hint of liveliness in its eyes.
"All living beings in the world cannot escape the word 'desire.' Having desire is a good thing; it promotes progress in the world."
"However, those who can control their desires are few and far between. Even a carp, after tasting the sweetness for the first time, develops a strong desire deep within its heart."
"Little do they know, this is also the beginning of destruction."
Lin Fan muttered to himself and handed the carp to Wan Xue'er, saying, "Stew it!"
"Yes, senior!"
Wan Xue'er respectfully took it.
At this moment, the carp realized that something was wrong and began to struggle frantically, trying to escape from Wan Xue'er's palm.
But how could an ordinary carp escape the palm of a mid-Foundation Building cultivator? That's right, Wan Xue'er and Wan Xin'er had also broken through during this time.
Wan Xue'er left.
The leaders of the bear clan and the other two clans watched as Wan Xue'er, no, as the carp gradually disappeared from their sight.
They were not fools and naturally understood the meaning behind Lin Fan's words.
He was warning them!
For a moment, cold sweat dripped down their backs. They slightly lowered their heads, feeling fearful in their hearts.
At this moment, Lin Fan put down his fishing rod, stood up from his chair, and turned to face them.
"If you don't want to become someone else's meal, you must adhere to your own hearts. The karmic consequences are too great for you to grasp." Lin Fan spoke.
"Thank you, senior, for your teachings!"
The leaders of the three clans immediately knelt down. Even Bai Chuan, with his submissive fur, was sweating coldly and also knelt down, showing utmost reverence.
"Go back!"
"Yes, senior!"
The leaders of the three clans left after leaving their apologies, respectfully departing.
[The leader of the Bear Clan, Xiong Batian, successfully deceived and gained one year of cultivation.]
[The leader of the Monkey Clan, Hou Man, successfully deceived and gained one year of cultivation.]
[The leader of the Leopard Clan, Bao Tian, successfully deceived and gained one year of cultivation.]
As Lin Fan watched them leave, he couldn't help but sigh inwardly. His skill in deception was becoming more proficient, and he couldn't help but feel proud of his set of words.
Without tarnishing his image as a big shot, he also got to experience the feeling of being respected. It was truly enjoyable.
Before long, a delicious fish soup was ready.
"Let's sit down and eat together."
"Yes, senior!"
The two women sat down. After spending some time with Lin Fan, they had gained some understanding of him. Although his cultivation was profound and unfathomable, he was approachable, as long as they didn't provoke him.
They remembered the scene from the day before, and even now, it sent shivers down their spines.
At this moment, Wan Xue'er secretly glanced at Lin Fan and noticed that he was enjoying the fish soup with a slight relaxation in his expression. She couldn't help but feel delighted and a little excited.
Finally, Wan Xue'er felt useful. She silently vowed to study cooking diligently from now on and become a qualified chef in front of Lin Fan.
At this moment, Wan Xue'er had found her life goal.
Even she didn't expect that because of this change in mindset, countless epochs later, a peerless woman would achieve the Great Dao through her culinary skills and open up a new era.
And all of this was only because of Lin Fan's desire for food.
After all, he had just transmigrated to this world, and he felt that something was missing if he didn't eat. So he used his deception skills to argue that cultivators were also human beings, and it was only natural for humans to eat grains. If he gave up on this, he would have to give up on even more things in the future. Cultivation was about cultivating the heart and integrating into society, not abandoning the secular world. Only by doing so could one go further in cultivation.
After Lin Xin'er and the two women listened to his deception, they felt that it made sense. No, it was more than that. Every word spoken by their senior contained profound truths of the world. To them, it was like a sudden enlightenment, bringing new insights to their cultivation every time.
Under their "unremitting efforts," they successfully broke through to the mid-stage of Foundation Building. It was all thanks to the words spoken by their senior at Ten Thousand Forests Peak. At the same time, due to their efforts, Lin Fan also successfully broke through to the late stage of Foundation Building.
...
In the blink of an eye, Lin Fan had spent nearly two months in the Heavenly Battle Secret Realm.
During these two months, he had gone out to play for a few days, but he found that there wasn't much fun to be had. Everywhere he went, there were towering trees and decaying leaves on the ground. There were also many snakes and insects, and the smell was quite strong, lacking any sense of beauty.
So he preferred to leisurely fish.
And with someone serving him three meals a day, as well as post-meal spiritual fruits, he felt like he was becoming a useless person.
"Xiner, Xuer, the two of you should take Xiaobai and go out for some experience!"
It had been nearly two months, and Wan Xin'er and the two women had been following him all this time. Although they had obtained many treasures from heaven and earth, this experience would greatly help their future growth.
What they saw and heard during their experience would also bring them new insights in their cultivation.
There was no flower in a greenhouse that could stand at the pinnacle of cultivation.
Although Lin Fan didn't understand cultivation, he had read many novels, so if he could talk about the "principles" of cultivation, he was quite good at it.
"Remember, the purpose of experience is not to gain or compete for anything. The opportunities in the world will naturally be taken by those who are destined for them, and those who are not will only bring calamity upon themselves. What is meant to be yours will eventually be yours, and what is not yours cannot be forced."
"The purpose of experience is to observe and understand everything, to understand oneself and understand nature. There is a saying, 'The Dao follows nature.'"
The two women were shaken by his words.
Although they still didn't fully understand, they felt that the road ahead seemed clearer. The phrase "The Dao follows nature" directly explained the essence of the Dao.
"Thank you for your guidance, senior," the two women respectfully said.
"Alright, go!"
Lin Fan nodded in satisfaction. After deceiving these two girls, he felt a sense of accomplishment and inner joy.
