Comprehension Ability: Creating the Five Thunders Technique in Reality-Chapter 1025 - 516: Unexpected Calamity
The temptation is undoubtedly immense for him.
If he could harness such mysterious powers, he could protect this island indefinitely and enjoy the splendors of the world.
Seeing Galsa's eager eyes, Lin Beichen chuckled inwardly, as if he was looking at a devout believer.
He could even imagine that if there were an incense burner now, Galsa would probably kneel down without hesitation and offer his sincerest incense.
Galsa took a deep breath and asked with some anticipation and nervousness, "Daoist Lin, does the Huaxia Daoist Sect still accept disciples? Do you think I have a chance?"
A familiar system notification suddenly rang in Lin Beichen's ear: [Faith Value +500!]
This unexpected "reward" sparked an idea in him.
Although Galsa was a bit old and didn't seem very smart, the thought of that massive Faith Value made taking a disciple seem appealing.
He glanced around; there were tens of thousands of residents on this island. If Galsa became a member of the Daoist Sect, wouldn't converting these islanders into believers be a breeze?
Tens of thousands of Faith Value, that would be a massive fortune.
Although he had such thoughts in his heart, Lin Beichen maintained an unperturbed appearance, merely saying slowly, "Entering the Daoist Sect is not impossible, aptitude is not the determining factor, the key lies in your future cultivation."
Galsa was overjoyed upon hearing this and quickly asked, "What other requirements are there?"
"It's late now," Lin Beichen said leisurely, "Let's talk about this tomorrow."
Galsa slapped his forehead, annoyed at his neglect of the time, and quickly arranged guest rooms, personally escorting them to rest.
He secretly planned to seize this opportunity to perform well and strive to join the Daoist Sect.
The night passed uneventfully, and the next morning, sunlight bathed the island, the air filled with a fresh aroma.
Lin Beichen stretched lazily and sat up from the bed; the previous night's task was completed successfully, and he slept especially soundly.
Just as he was about to get up and wash, a sudden scream came from outside.
He furrowed his brow and quickly opened the door to check.
In the hallway, he saw Long Chuzhi holding a maid by the neck, her face full of vigilance.
Seeing Lin Beichen come out, Long Chuzhi asked in astonishment, "Lin Beichen, how are you here?"
Lin Beichen explained with a smile, and upon learning the truth, Long Chuzhi finally relaxed.
At this moment, Xia Luyao, Flying Eagle, and the old Daoist also came out of their rooms one after another, all stunned by the scene before them.
"Why are you guys here too?" Long Chuzhi asked in surprise.
Xia Luyao smiled and stepped forward, patting Long Chuzhi's shoulder, "Of course we're here to rescue you!"
"Long Chuzhi, you're finally awake, that's great!"
Xia Luyao showed a joyful expression and quickly stepped forward.
Seeing Long Chuzhi still holding the maid's neck tightly, Xia Luyao gently persuaded and gently pulled her hand away, "Long Chuzhi, relax. You're safe now. We've successfully rescued you."
Long Chuzhi released her grip, her eyes full of disbelief, "Have I really been rescued?"
Lin Beichen crossed his arms in front of his chest and said calmly, "Otherwise? Do you think you could be standing here and talking to us safely otherwise?"
Indeed, if she were still captive, how could she possibly stand here so freely?
Seeing the familiar faces of the Venomous Snake Special Team, Long Chuzhi felt a flood of complex emotions.
During this time, she had constantly been thinking about how to escape, but never found the opportunity.
Just when she was almost desperate, the Venomous Snake Special Team appeared like heavenly soldiers to rescue her from danger.
"It's all over now, Long Chuzhi, you're free."
Xia Luyao comforted softly, understanding Long Chuzhi's excitement and emotions at this moment.
Long Chuzhi's gaze swept over each person's face, a warm wave surging in her heart, "I thought I'd never see you all again."
Her voice was slightly choked, her recent experiences made her cherish the reunion before her.
Xia Luyao joked with a smile, "How could that be, you're our comrade, how could we easily give up on you?"
Long Chuzhi also smiled, "Yeah, I haven't beaten you yet, how could I give up so easily?"
"Alright, everyone, stop standing in the hallway reminiscing," Lin Beichen interrupted their conversation, "Let's save the conversation for breakfast."
The group realized they were still standing in the hallway, and one after another returned to their rooms to freshen up.
Long Chuzhi also returned to her room to tidy up.
"What are you thinking? Hurry back to your room!" Lin Beichen gently patted Xia Luyao's head, urging.
Xia Luyao glared at him, pretended to be angry, and muttered, "You're at it again, always trying to take advantage of me."
Lin Beichen chuckled, "You little girl, what are you saying? I'm your master, can't I care a little bit about you?"
"You're always trying to take advantage of me!" Xia Luyao snapped back angrily, then quickly walked back to her room.
Just then, the old Daoist suddenly appeared in front of them, looking at them in surprise, "Wow, are you two…"
Lin Beichen and Xia Luyao both turned to look at him, showing helpless expressions. The old Daoist looked at them with a gossipy smile, seemingly imagining a drama unfolding in his mind.
"Old Daoist, you've misunderstood," Xia Luyao quickly explained, "I just accidentally tripped and Lin Beichen helped me up, that's all."
The old Daoist, however, wore an "I understand" expression, "Oh, oh, got it, got it."
Seeing the old Daoist's meaningful smile, Lin Beichen and Xia Luyao both rolled their eyes, knowing further explanation wouldn't work.
