I Killed My Master to Prove the Dao, Then Faced the Crematorium

One day, Lin Xian, an elder of Xiyao Sect, dreamed that she had taken in a highly gifted disciple. She raised him like a cabbage, loosening the soil, watering, fertilizing, and removing pests, until the cabbage grew plump and tender. But somewhere along the way, something went wrong, and the cabbage she had raised with her own hands killed her.

Lin Xian: "?"

When she woke up, the sect leader brought a gaunt young man before her by the hand. "Little Eighth, look. Your senior brother found you a disciple."

Lin Xian stared at the face that resembled the little cabbage from her dream and sank into thought. In the end, she reached one conclusion: My life is over!

Lin Xian doesn't know how to raise cabbages, and she certainly doesn't know how to raise an ungrateful brat. But somehow, this little ingrate has ended up under her name as a disciple.

At first, Lin Xian tries to turn him into a modest gentleman, but with little success. Every day, the little ingrate still calls her Master with a look in his eyes that says he wants to murder his teacher and destroy his ancestors.

Lin Xian thinks that if her first disciple is a lost cause, she can always start over with another. So she takes a second, a third... all the way to a ninth disciple.

After the Immortal Lord Xihe, Pei Lizhi, ascends, Lin Xian, the Lord of the Nine Divisions who died by his sword, becomes an object of hatred throughout the Three Realms.

Lin Xian was once a highly respected elder of Xiyao Sect, and Pei Lizhi's master.

Pei Lizhi was the first person to prove his Dao by killing his master.

He became a great legend of the mortal world, while Lin Xian became a heartless, evil villain.

When Pei Lizhi opens his eyes, he finds himself standing at the foot of Xiaoyao Sect's mountain. Someone beside him says, unable to hide their excitement, "I heard the Lord of the Nine Divisions is taking disciples again this year..."

Pei Lizhi: "..."

He had thought this life would be the same as the last: Lin Xian, the honey-tongued hypocrite, would treat him well as before, winning his trust and respect, only to cast him into a fate worse than death.

But he watches with his own eyes as Lin Xian takes one disciple after another, treating them with the same care she once showed Pei Lizhi.
