Xiao Ran has become the sole leader of a shabby sect on the verge of bankruptcy. He has no money, no food, and no cultivation, and in the next moment he could be beaten to death by local thugs who want to seize his mountain!
Just as despair takes hold, the Heaven-Defying Master-and-Disciple Return System binds to him!
All he has to do is take on disciples and teach them to grow stronger. The System will return tenfold, a hundredfold, even ten thousandfold!
“Ding! The Host taught a random set of Turtle Fist moves, triggering a hundredfold critical bonus. Returning [Divine: Ancient Desolate Overlord Fist]!”
“Ding! The Host casually offered a couple of pointers, triggering a ten-thousandfold critical bonus. Returning [Complete: Sharp Metal Sword Intent]!”
“Ding! The Host gave away a common-grade pill, triggering a ten-thousandfold quality return. Reward: [Earth Grade: Nine-Turn Golden Pill]!”
Xiao Ran is stunned!
All I wanted was to take in a few disciples, stay alive, and coast through life!
But what is going on with my disciples?
One has a [Primordial Overlord Physique] and can send someone in the Meridian Condensation Realm flying with a single punch! He eats enough to bankrupt the sect!
Another has a [Nine-Aperture Exquisite Heart] and the makings of an [Unrivaled Sword Immortal]. Just watching their master wave his hands around is enough to grasp the supreme Sword Intent!
Wait! Is that a demon princess blessed with incredible luck, an alchemy prodigy who knows heaven-defying recipes, and a formation genius capable of inscribing forbidden runes, all lining up to become my disciples?!
Every one of them is fiercely competitive, cultivating at astonishing speed and casually returning all sorts of divine arts, sacred medicines, and magical treasures to their master!
Xiao Ran has completely decided to lie flat.
“Ah, being a master is exhausting.”
“Ah, my cultivation is improving too quickly. My foundation feels a little shaky.”
“Ah, there are so many System rewards, I don’t even know which one to use first.”
Years later, when his disciples literally carry Xiao Ran up to the divine throne, where he gazes down upon the Myriad Worlds, all he wants to say is:
“I just lie here without lifting a finger. My monstrous disciples are the ones who carried me to godhood!”
This is a beginner's guide, nothing interesting. 🤦 The system gives you things, the protagonist gives them to his apprentice, then returns them—is this some kind of farming system? 🙂 It would be better to write a story about a simple, unremarkable sword strike—a typical TV drama trope—that the apprentice can magically comprehend through imagination and extraordinary understanding. Sigh!
Haha, hehehe
You're cultivating immortality and you're telling me you're losing hair? Well, your cultivation must be incredibly advanced!
Go go go!
