Chapter 11 - Chapter 11: Metaphysics Speaks for Science—This Daoist Is Such a Jerk

Lin Heng returned to the Daoist Temple.

The reason he didn't kill that old ghost was mainly to let it go back and report!

According to what it said, tonight's passage of Shadow Soldiers was because that Demon City God suspected there was treasure in the temple!

And just now, the Tai Chi Feather Duster's prowess was shown by himself to the fullest.

Given that Demon City God's greedy nature, he would surely come to seize it personally!

By then.

When my Five Thunders Righteous Method comes out.

If I can successfully kill a Great Demon of the Innate Realm, I can't imagine how generous the cultivation rewards would be!

"In three days, it's the full moon night. To be safe, it's best to find a way to enhance my strength in these three days!"

Lin Heng thought to himself.

At this moment, a notification of [Fame +1+1+1+1] appeared in his mind.

Lin Heng was startled, looked toward the backyard, and then remembered there was a female streamer in the temple.

...

At this time, the number of online viewers in Su Xiaoluo's live stream had skyrocketed from the initial hundreds to more than 100,000 people!

The scene where Lin Heng wielded the Tai Chi Feather Duster to defeat a group of fierce ghosts, making them cry out, was watched by netizens in its entirety.

Everyone was shocked to the point of being speechless.

"Oh my god, it turns out my friend was telling the truth, they're really live streaming a Daoist killing ghosts here!"

"No way, so many terrifying ghosts were all dealt with by this Daoist so quickly?"

"Yesterday, I just watched an old Daoist unleash Thunder Skill in anger to eliminate a prank streamer. Now tonight, there's a young Observatory Master fighting dozens of fierce ghosts alone with ease. Are Daoists really this amazing now?"

"Curious, isn't Daoism supposed to be full of charlatans, only skilled in deception? What's actually going on here?"

In recent years, Daoism's reputation has been terrible, especially after the rise of Buddhism, online public opinion has once labeled Daoism as a scam organization.

Plus the examples of all sorts of charlatans being exposed.

In the eyes of the world, Daoism was almost like a rat in the street, with everyone shouting to beat it.

However, the video of the old Daoist using Thunder Skill had just heated up yesterday.

Tonight, there's another live stream of a young Observatory Master exterminating a horde of ghosts!

This has directly confused all the netizens.

The so-called charlatan profession, how could it suddenly show real skills?

"Daoist!"

At this time, Su Xiaoluo snapped out of her daze, seeing the Daoist return to the backyard, she quickly ran out of the Quiet Chamber.

Her pretty face was both nervous and excited, her beautiful eyes showing a faint hint of admiration.

"You really do have spells!"

Su Xiaoluo was incredibly excited.

Originally, she thought it would be a wasted trip without seeing that old Daoist.

Unexpectedly, this young Daoist was actually a hidden expert!

The scene of the Feather Duster sweeping a large area was simply extraordinary!

"Daoist, I've been particularly interested in Daoist Skill since I was a child."

"Could you take me as your disciple?"

Su Xiaoluo expressed her thoughts directly.

"You want to be a Daoist?"

Lin Heng looked up and down at the girl, somewhat surprised.

"Yes, yes, I want to cultivate!"

Su Xiaoluo said, the longing in her beautiful eyes undisguised.

It wasn't a spur of the moment, but a fantasy she had always had.

It's just that she never found the way until now.

But now, she sees hope!

However, Lin Heng shook his head.

As a Daoist who had followed Master Qingxu for twenty years, he was very aware of how difficult cultivation was.

He could say, if it weren't for the system activation.

He would still be an ordinary person right now.

"Young people should read more books and newspapers, eat fewer snacks, and get more sleep."

"Cultivation and such are all fake."

"You have to believe in science!"

"Alright, go get some rest, go down the mountain early tomorrow, work hard, and live a good life."

"Be someone who contributes to the country, understand?"

Lin Heng finished and turned directly back to his Quiet Chamber.

Kidding.

Taking in disciples?

This humble Daoist hasn't even fully understood cultivation himself, okay?

Besides.

Even if I have the ability to teach someone cultivation, it's not just anyone who qualifies to be my disciple!

Forget about Su Xiaoluo being beautiful!

In the eyes of cultivators, beauty is worthless!

In Lin Heng's view, a Daoist's pursuit is to act according to their heart and embrace the natural way.

Maybe one day, when he's in the mood, he'll casually give someone a pointer.

But taking in disciples?

Sorry.

At least at present, Lin Heng doesn't want any burdens!

As the Quiet Chamber door closed.

Only Su Xiaoluo was left at the scene, in disarray with the wind.

Meanwhile, the viewers in the live stream were laughing hysterically.

"Haha, Xiaoluo actually got rejected; can such a beautiful girl actually be rejected?"

"Indeed a Daoist, what beauty? Just step aside, do not disturb this humble Daoist's cultivation!"

"The Daoist is genuinely amusing; he chases ghosts with a magical artifact everywhere yet earnestly advises the streamer to believe in science?"

"Young people, read more books and newspapers, eat fewer snacks, and get more sleep. Truly, the Daoist knows education!"

"Isn't Daoism supposed to be full of deceivers? Why does this Daoist seem afraid of people believing in Daoism?"

"Advising others to work hard while secretly cultivating, I'm literally dying of laughter haha..."

Lin Heng's advisory rejection had everyone laughing to tears.

Nobody expected that in today's era of Daoism's decline, a great beauty devoted to Daoism was directly rejected by this Daoist?

His expression and words seemed to say.

Don't disturb my cultivation; even I find it troublesome!

"Haha, who would have thought, nowadays, the staunchest advocate for science would be a Daoist?"

"Metaphysics speaking for science, what sort of century reconciliation is this, and what vast breadth of heart?"

"Science experts: this Daoist, I'm literally crying."

"He should be honored at the Imperial Ancestral Temple, no joke!"

...

Su Xiaoluo finally snapped out of it, hearing the Daoist lock the Quiet Chamber's door behind him, her face was full of a helpless smile.

"Is he really so afraid of me cultivating?"

Su Xiaoluo's beautiful eyes showed a peculiar look, her lips involuntarily curling up.

"Hmph!"

"This lady doesn't believe it."

"If I can't be your disciple!"

Su Xiaoluo's heart ignited with the flames of determination, secretly vowing to become this Daoist's disciple!

Of course, this matter will take some time!

At least, she needs to develop a relationship first.

Thinking this, Su Xiaoluo also revealed a relieved and happy smile, turned around, and returned to her Quiet Chamber.

...

The night's live content was once again spread online by netizens.

Previously, the video of the old Daoist using Thunder Skill had already stirred a massive amount of traffic on the internet.

So various media kept a close eye on online developments at all times.

As soon as any news about Daoism appeared.

These media rushed in like wolves.

That night, there were as many as a dozen media outlets that edited Su Xiaoluo's live video into articles.

Directly pushing it to their headlines.

As usual, UC's sensational department was first to release the story.

[Shock: Beautiful streamer seeks apprenticeship from a Daoist, only to be met with such a request...]
