At the Qin Family’s front hall, the atmosphere was lively. Many of Lingfeng City’s renowned figures had gathered to witness the ceremony. This was Qin Xiao’s first time accepting a disciple, and the one he accepted was the Young Master of the Yang Family.
What made it even more significant was that this Young Master had consumed a Millennium Vermilion Fruit. With that, unless something unexpected happened, breaking through to the Innate Realm was only a matter of time.
Near noon, Yang Tianchuan arrived with Yang Hao. Yang Hao wore a white warrior robe, his posture upright and majestic, his features refined, and his eyes shining with spirit. His thick brows looked as though painted with ink. Everyone who saw him couldn’t help but praise him. He was indeed a youth born extraordinary, a heaven-blessed genius.
Yang Hao walked straight up to Qin Xiao, knelt, and kowtowed three times before receiving a cup of tea from the Qin Family’s servants. He respectfully raised it toward Qin Xiao and said, “Master, please have tea!”
Qin Xiao accepted the tea and reached out to help him up. He said, “Disciple, rise quickly, the floor is cold!” Taking a sip, he felt the tea unusually fragrant and sweet, seeping directly into his soul. Watching a Child of Destiny kneel before him and serve him tea filled him with immense satisfaction.
Qin Xiao smiled and said, “Disciple, this is the Great Flame Heart Sutra, a cultivation method passed down in my Qin Family. Today, I am passing it on to you. I hope you study it well. Of course, your Yang Family’s Mysterious Origin Technique is not weaker than our Great Flame Heart Sutra, so you can continue cultivating your family’s technique. Use this one for reference.”
After finishing his tea, Qin Xiao took out the Great Flame Heart Sutra from his robe and handed it to Yang Hao. Ever since obtaining the Yin-Yang Sacred Scripture, Qin Xiao had looked down on his family’s ancestral technique. He often used it as a gift. When Ye Tian became his adopted son, he gave one away, and now accepting a disciple, he naturally gave another. It only cost the effort of copying a book, so it didn’t matter much to him.
The guests began whispering. “The Great Flame Heart Sutra! The Qin Family’s patriarch is really generous, even passing down his family’s secret technique. He must think highly of Yang Hao.” Another said, “Indeed! Normally such family techniques are never passed down. Even clan relatives struggle to get them. For the Qin Family’s old patriarch to give it as a gift, this is truly generous!”
Qin Zhan and Qin Long exchanged glances, silently cursing in their hearts. Ever since their father had obtained that new scripture, he had completely dismissed the family’s old technique, even letting side branches cultivate it freely, or giving it away casually.
Yang Hao accepted the sutra and said, “Thank you, Master!”
[Congratulations to the host for successfully accepting Yang Hao, a great fortune bearer, as a disciple. 8,000 Fortune Points plundered. Disciple mode activated. The host can now plunder 10 Fortune Points daily from disciples. Additionally, when a great fortune bearer gains opportunities that increase Fortune Points, the host gains one-tenth of that increase.]
[Current disciple: Yang Hao. Realm: 2nd stage Postnatal Realm. Current Fortune Points: 0.]
Qin Xiao’s heart leapt with joy upon hearing the system prompt. His guess was right. Since there was an adopted son mode, naturally there would be disciple mode, brotherhood mode, grandchild mode, and more. As long as he found the right methods, Fortune Points would flow endlessly.

The surrounding guests stepped forward to congratulate. “Congratulations, old patriarch of the Qin Family, on gaining such a disciple!” Another echoed, “Congratulations, old patriarch of the Qin Family, for having such fortune!”
Qin Xiao laughed heartily, “Haha! Thank you, thank you! Your presence has brought honor to my Qin Family!” The atmosphere became even more festive under his lead.
After the ceremony, Qin Xiao personally instructed Yang Hao in the backyard for a few days, fulfilling his duty as a teacher before sending him back.
Name: Qin Xiao
Martial Realm: 1st stage Spiritual Power Realm
Cultivation Method: Solar Scripture (3rd stage)
Martial Skills: Great Flame Blade (Yellow Rank, perfected), Fierce Tiger Fist (Yellow Rank, superior), Step-on-Waves Movement (Yellow Rank, inferior)
Fortune Points: —
[Fortune Points can increase cultivation, improve proficiency of martial techniques, and be used to purchase items from the system shop.]
Qin Xiao asked, “System, how many Fortune Points are needed to break through the 1st stage Spiritual Power Realm?” This chapter was taken from g.com without permission.
The system replied, [Breaking from 1st to 2nd stage requires 2,000 Fortune Points. From 2nd to 3rd requires 2,300. After that, each stage needs 300 more than the previous.]
Qin Xiao twitched at the corner of his mouth. With over 10,000 Fortune Points, he could only reach the 5th stage of the Spiritual Power Realm. And this was merely the fourth major realm of martial cultivation. Beyond this were still eight great realms. The Fortune Points required in the future would be astronomical.
He clenched his teeth. “No, I can’t rely solely on Fortune Points to improve my strength. I need to grow through multiple paths. I must train diligently myself as well.”
He asked again, “System, how many Fortune Points does the 4th stage of the Solar Scripture require?”
The system responded, [The 4th stage of the Solar Scripture costs 3,000 Fortune Points.]
Qin Xiao spat out his tea. “Why is it so expensive? The first three stages together only cost 2,000 Fortune Points, but the 4th stage alone is more expensive than all of them combined?”
The system explained, [All cultivation methods in the system shop are like this. The further you go, the more expensive they become, often costing more than all the previous stages combined.]
Qin Xiao’s heart cramped in pain. Still, he gritted his teeth and said, “System, purchase the 4th stage of the Solar Scripture for me!”
[Congratulations to the host for consuming 3,000 Fortune Points and purchasing the 4th stage of the Solar Scripture. The cultivation method has been transmitted into the host’s mind.]
With 3,000 Fortune Points gone, Qin Xiao gained the Solar Scripture’s 4th stage. Compared to the earlier stages, this one was far more profound and powerful, its might far greater.
