Comprehension Ability: Creating the Five Thunders Technique in Reality-Chapter 1026 - 516: Unforeseen Disaster (Part 2)

The two exchanged a wry smile, shook their heads helplessly, and then turned around to go back to their rooms.

Upon hearing this, Xia Luyao pondered for a moment and then nodded, "This can be done."

The old Daoist, observing them whispering on the side, felt his heart skip a beat, sensing an inexplicable unease.

Sure enough, Xia Luyao's expression turned serious, and his tone grew cold, "Old Daoist, upon returning to the security zone, you need to add two more hours to your daily training."

"What? An extra two hours?" The old Daoist wailed, "Captain, have mercy! I didn't see anything, just spare me this time!"

Faced with the old Daoist's begging, Xia Luyao and Lin Beichen looked at each other and refused in unison, "No discussion!"

With that, the two ignored the old Daoist's cries from behind and went straight back to their rooms.

The old Daoist looked at the closed door, wanting to cry but having no tears.

What did he do to deserve this today?

Just opening a door brought such unwarranted disaster.

The thought of that devilish training being extended by two more hours made the old Daoist feel like his future was without "light".

...

Once everyone was ready, Galsa had already ordered a sumptuous breakfast to be prepared.

To cater to Lin Beichen's tastes, he mobilized all the palace chefs early in the morning to prepare a dazzling array of breakfast dishes.

Galsa longs to join the Huaxia Daoist Sect and therefore does his utmost to ingratiate himself with Lin Beichen.

After the meal, everyone narrated their arduous journey to find her to Long Chuzhi, who listened with great emotion.

She had wandered through many places, always in a daze, and didn't know they had gone through so much trouble to find her.

"Thanks to you all this time." Long Chuzhi expressed her sincere gratitude to the members of the Venomous Snake Special Team.

"Among comrades, it's only right." Wild Ox laughed heartily, giving the old Daoist a pat on the shoulder, "Old Daoist, don't you agree?"

The old Daoist forced a smile, "Yes, we're all comrades, it's expected."

Noticing the old Daoist's odd expression, Wild Ox asked confusedly, "Old Daoist, why the frown? Didn't you sleep well?"

The old Daoist snuck a glance at Lin Beichen and Xia Luyao, mumbling, "Maybe."

At this moment, Galsa eagerly interrupted, "Daoist Lin, about what we discussed last night, have you thought it over?"

Now that he possesses both power and wealth, as he ages, his vitality declines.

If he could cultivate and extend his lifespan, or even attain immortality, he could preserve everything he currently has.

Lin Beichen glanced at Galsa and replied unhurriedly, "To join my sect isn't impossible, but there are a few conditions."

"Whatever the conditions, I agree!" Galsa immediately stated.

"Don't be so quick to agree," Lin Beichen said with a calm expression, "my conditions aren't simple."

"Just tell me what they are, no matter how hard, I can do it." Galsa promised, patting his chest.

Lin Beichen chuckled softly, slowly stating the conditions, "First, upon joining my Huaxia Daoist Sect, you must take it as your faith and absolutely obey my orders. Any disobedience won't be tolerated."

Galsa hesitated momentarily, then responded firmly, "Rest assured, as long as I can learn the Huaxia Daoist Sect's spells, I will be absolutely loyal, with no second thoughts."

Lin Beichen nodded and continued, "Second, after becoming a disciple of my Huaxia Daoist Sect, you must dedicate yourself to learning Daoist skills and promoting the sect, passing on Daoist skills."

"No problem," Galsa readily agreed, "I hold Daoist sect promotion conferences on the island every week to make all islanders worship the sect."

Lin Beichen nodded in satisfaction, continuing, "Third, you must never conflict with the Huaxia Military and must respect the Huaxia people."

"That's even less of a problem," Galsa quickly stated, "I never intended to oppose the Huaxia Military, it was all Monroe's fault."

Seeing Galsa's sincerity, Lin Beichen finally relented, "Since you've agreed to everything, I'll take you as my apprentice."

Galsa was overjoyed, expressing his gratitude repeatedly.

Flame, seeing this, jokingly said, "Thanks aren't enough!"

Galsa was taken aback and asked blankly, "Is there something else I need to do?"

Flame couldn't help but laugh and explained, "In Huaxia, becoming an apprentice requires kowtowing."

Though a warlord general, Galsa didn't hesitate to kneel and kowtowed three times to Lin Beichen.

Nearby, everyone couldn't help but laugh, while Galsa was filled with joy, receiving the Daoist Sect's introductory Heart Method handed over by Lin Beichen, thus beginning his journey of cultivation.

"Although it can't make you immortal, this Heart Method will help you maintain a healthy body and smooth circulation of vital energy. Once you've laid a good foundation, more profound spells will naturally come to you." Lin Beichen patiently explained.

Galsa nodded with a sense of understanding, knowing that this introductory Heart Method could only benefit him.

Only by mastering this could he further explore higher-level texts.

With this in mind, he immediately began to read with a smile, but upon seeing it, he froze, and with a bitter expression, looked up at Lin Beichen.

"Master, there's quite a significant problem." Galsa said with a troubled face.

Lin Beichen frowned slightly, "What problem? I've accepted you as an apprentice and given you the Heart Method, what else?"

Galsa smiled awkwardly, "Master, it's all in Huaxia script. I... I can't understand it!"

Lin Beichen sighed, realizing he had overlooked this.

Everyone around couldn't help but laugh. No one expected such a big oversight.

"Flame, your foreign language is good, help translate it." Lin Beichen said, turning to Flame.

Flame took the manual, glanced at it, and spoke with reluctance, "These are all ancient texts; it's not easy to translate."

At this moment, Flame's eyes lit up, "Ah, right, our captain's foreign language is great, let her translate!" he said, handing the manual to Xia Luyao.

Xia Luyao took the manual helplessly, leafed through it, "Though the text is obscure, translating it into English is not a problem for me. Leave it to me; I'll give it back to you when I'm done."

Flame, hearing this, laughed, "Hear that, Galsa? Your master's wife will personally translate it for you. If you don't understand anything, just ask her!"

Both Lin Beichen and Xia Luyao were speechless at the same time, "There you go again, always trying to take advantage," Lin Beichen glared at Flame.

"What did I do? Galsa, tell me, if your master's wife helps translate, shouldn't you ask her if you don't understand?" Flame looked innocent.

Galsa nodded, "The logic is sound!"

"That's not the point!" Lin Beichen sighed.

"Then what's the point? Is it the master's wife?" Thunder chimed in.

Galsa agreed, "Shouldn't it naturally be the master's wife? Isn't that Huaxia tradition?"

Hearing the title "master's wife," Xia Luyao's cheeks flushed slightly, glancing at Lin Beichen awkwardly.

Seeing their smiling faces, Lin Beichen spoke helplessly, "Stop it, I'm single, where would I get a wife." After saying that, he glanced at Xia Luyao, noticing she was actually a bit shy.

Galsa scratched his head in confusion, "Huh? Master, isn't she your wife? I thought you two matched well; I assumed you were a couple!"

Everyone laughed, except for the old Daoist, whose face remained expressionless.

"Old Daoist, why are you acting so strange today?" Flying Eagle asked in confusion.

The old Daoist awkwardly smiled, "Nothing, you guys continue talking." He didn't want any more trouble; getting extra time would be terrible.

"So, when are we heading back?" the old Daoist changed the subject.

"What? Master, you're leaving?" Galsa was caught off guard.

Lin Beichen replied calmly, "Task's done, naturally we're going back."

"But you just accepted me as a disciple, and I haven't learned anything yet!" Galsa said with a bitter face.

"Didn't I give you the introductory Heart Method? Practice it first and contact me when you're done." Lin Beichen said.
