Chapter 1006: The Perfect Plan To Take On A Discipl

A secluded mountain village.

Backed by emerald peaks, facing a mirror-like lake.

Mist curls upward, and a small boat drifts quietly.

Seeing such a scene from the boat naturally lifts one's spirits, and Yi Feng also felt much of his gloom dissipate, finally experiencing a rare sense of ease and contentment.

Living leisurely in the mountains and fields—this is what a comfortable life truly is.

Following the old man ashore and walking along, Yi Feng saw farmers and hunters everywhere, as if he had returned to his former life. He recalled the leisurely days of running a martial arts school, and his heart relaxed considerably, letting go of the recent troubles that had been weighing on him.

Gradually, a relaxed smile appeared on Yi Feng's face as he immersed himself in this tranquil atmosphere.

Fu Nantian, who was leading the way, glanced back and felt increasingly confident. Seeing the innocence and ignorance of his future disciple, he couldn't help but feel more and more pleased.

This kid would never expect that the farmers he saw were no ordinary people, and that the entire village was filled with peerless experts!

When he eventually learns the truth, wouldn't he be utterly shocked?

Tsk tsk...

The more Fu Nantian thought about it, the more he looked forward to it. With his hands behind his back, he strode forward with great enthusiasm.

At the same time, he sent a mental message to the villagers.

"Everyone, this is my future disciple. Please restrain your auras so as not to scare this kid."

Several powerful auras instantly receded, and responses echoed back.

With everything prepared, Fu Nantian nodded in satisfaction and headed straight for a small courtyard at the village entrance, settling Yi Feng there.

Over the next few days, the two ate and lived together. During the day, they fished and drank tea; at night, they admired the scenery and discussed wine. It was a life of pure leisure and comfort. Yi Feng temporarily set aside his recent troubles and finally relaxed his mind.

Fu Nantian took the opportunity to spend time with him, getting to know his future disciple better. He grew increasingly impressed with Yi Feng's temperament and character. However, this time, Fu Nantian was much more composed, having learned from past mistakes. He didn't immediately bring up the topic of taking him as a disciple.

After several failures, he had come to understand.

Yi Feng might seem lazy, but he was actually a stubborn young man. Fu Nantian needed to find an opportunity to show off his skills, to earn Yi Feng's admiration, before he would willingly become his disciple.

Otherwise, this kid would definitely not be convinced.

After pondering for several days, Fu Nantian finally came up with a perfect plan.

After lunch at noon, the two were about to go fishing as usual, but Fu Nantian remained seated leisurely, showing no intention of getting up.

Yi Feng was a bit puzzled.

"Old man? Did you eat something bad? Your face is all red. Could it be that at your age, you can't control yourself anymore...?"

Fu Nantian was nearly driven mad with anger.

Suppressing his irritation, he remained silent for a long time without uttering a word!

Fu Nantian had thoroughly realized that this kid didn't hold enough respect for him. Combined with the failure at Tian Du Island, Yi Feng probably thought his cultivation wasn't all that impressive.

This wouldn't do. He needed to find an opportunity to show off and prove his true strength.

With a determined heart, Fu Nantian began to contemplate dangerous secret realms.

Finally, he thought of the Ancient Corridor.

It was an ancient passage connecting Yunxing and other star domains, and also the most famous ancient secret realm, located far in the starry river. It was filled with countless dangers and mysteries, and stepping into it was akin to a near-death experience!

Taking this kid there to witness it, and then displaying the might of a Saint, wouldn't he be utterly shocked and immediately bow down to become his disciple?

Originally, he had intended to take on a disciple while posing as an ordinary person, but instead, he had been met with disdain and disrespect. Well, there was no other choice—today, he would have to reveal his true self!

The more Fu Nantian thought about it, the more resolute he became, and a proud smile gradually spread across his face.

Seeing the old man sitting there in a daze, suddenly grinning strangely, Yi Feng grew a bit concerned and quietly asked, "Old man, are you okay?"

"If it's really bad, just go to the outhouse. Don't hold it in. Soiling your pants is a small matter, but don't suffer for the sake of pride..."

Fu Nantian snapped out of his thoughts and coughed to cover his embarrassment.

"Ahem."

"What are you thinking about?"

He shot Yi Feng a glance and then made up an excuse.

"You kid, always thinking the worst. Let me tell you, I just thought of an excellent fishing spot. We're sure to have a big catch today!"

Yi Feng nodded in understanding, and seeing that the old man's pants were still intact, he temporarily set his worries aside.

Hearing about a great fishing spot, he didn't think too much about it.

"I see."

"In that case, let's hurry up and set off, so we don't end up feeding the mosquitoes during night fishing."

Fu Nantian smiled and nodded, then stepped out of the courtyard wearing a bamboo hat and holding a fishing rod.

Yi Feng followed closely behind.

The two continued forward, walking through the air, going farther and farther. Gradually, Yi Feng began to feel that something was off, and his enthusiasm for fishing waned.

"Old man, why haven't we arrived yet? How much longer do we have to go?"

Fu Nantian chuckled and replied, "A great fishing spot naturally isn't nearby. It's not something ordinary people would know about. We're almost there, no need to rush."

Yi Feng nodded and had no choice but to follow silently.

Thinking about it, it made sense.

If it was a truly exceptional fishing spot with huge rewards, it wouldn't be something just anyone could know about. Walking a bit farther wasn't a big deal, as long as they could get some good results.

However, the thought of "rewards" brought back the recent troubles he had been trying to forget.

Yi Feng had tried every possible method to seek death, but it had all been in vain. His plan to die had made no progress, and his cultivation had only grown stronger. He could never return to his former simple life.

Truly, fate was playing tricks on him.

The farther they walked, the more speechless Yi Feng felt. He walked on in a daze, no longer in the mood to ask questions, and gradually fell into silence.

Ahead, Fu Nantian was secretly plotting.

Although being looked down upon by this kid was quite annoying, thinking about it from another perspective, it wasn't all bad. Only after being underestimated would the future surprise and shock he had in store for this kid become even more impactful, creating the ultimate contrast.

When he finally revealed his terrifying Saint-level cultivation...

Hehe, wouldn't this kid be utterly thunderstruck?

This was the classic strategy of first suppressing, then elevating!

Even before reaching the Ancient Corridor, Fu Nantian could already imagine everything that was about to happen.

The once arrogant and unruly kid would finally realize the true identity of the master before him, filled with shame, and then kneel down in awe and reverence.

What?! The master is actually the legendary Saint!

This junior has been blind and disrespectful, speaking out of turn many times. I beg for the master's forgiveness. If the master can overlook my past offenses, I, Yi Feng, would be honored to become your disciple!

Imagining this perfect scene, Fu Nantian's smile grew even wider, and his heart was filled with joy.

Until a voice called out from behind.

"Hey? Old man? What are you thinking about, smiling so creepily?"

Fu Nantian continued walking, quickly suppressing his smile, and turned his head to casually brush it off with a few made-up words.

"Nothing, just that today's catch is sure to be huge."

Yi Feng responded with a sigh and continued following the old man.

After walking for who knows how much longer, Fu Nantian ahead of him chuckled slyly and called out, "Kid, keep up."

"Okay."

Yi Feng casually replied, not paying much attention, and simply took a step forward.

But as soon as his foot landed, he found himself standing amidst a sea of stars!

Yi Feng was stunned, as if he were hallucinating.

Slowly raising his head to look around, he realized that there was no greenery, no lakes or mountains—only an endless expanse of stars. He was standing in the void of space!

Instantly, Yi Feng was jolted awake, his expression changing dramatically.

This...

This was no fishing lake!

Seeing the dumbfounded look on Yi Feng's face, Fu Nantian was immensely pleased. Everything was going according to plan. All that was left was to awe Yi Feng and then reveal his true identity in a grand finale!

At this critical moment, Fu Nantian unleashed the best acting performance of his life.

With a slight tremble of his hands, the fishing rod fell into the sea of stars.

That seemingly ordinary tremble perfectly conveyed the shock and tension he should be feeling at this moment. The loss of his beloved fishing rod into the starry river further amplified the sense of despair, heightening the tension!

Even an outsider watching would feel the despair and terror, as if a poor old man had stumbled into a deadly predicament!

Self-rated acting score: 99.99!

Fu Nantian didn't let pride get to him and remained fully immersed in his role, his face filled with shock and panic as he turned to look at Yi Feng.

"Ah~ This is bad!"

"Somehow, we've accidentally entered the legendary Ancient Corridor. What are we going to do now?!"
