"I... ┭┮﹏┭┮"

Ling Feng’s face turned red, and he quickly covered his mouth with both hands, feeling like he couldn’t hold it in any longer.

Happiness came too suddenly.

He had just arrived at the Star Gate, and there was already a big shot wanting to take him as a disciple.

If he refused, how much Coasting Along Value would he get at once?

Although it was just as a registered disciple, a disciple is still a disciple. With such a protector, he could coast along in the Star Gate in the future.

Avenging the Great Xia people by killing Hou Laosan and even going deep into the Ocean to directly kill the Ancient Blue Star’s tumor, Mengba, wasn’t impossible.

He didn’t expect his luck to be so explosive.

Just arriving at the Star Gate came with such an opportunity; no wonder so many people tried to get in by any means.

His brain was quickly processing.

He must get the Coasting Along Value, and he can’t afford to offend the other side, this is a Super Divine Mind Master!

"What’s wrong?"

Young Master Fu asked in confusion.

"Bang!"

Ling Feng knelt in front of Fu Rong, his face full of excitement and seriousness, "I’ve wandered half my life, hating that I haven’t met a wise master. It’s my good fortune to meet you today. To avoid tarnishing your reputation, please let me follow you for now. If in the future, I catch your eye, and glorify your name, then allow me to officially become your disciple."

"This..."

Fu Rong and Young Master Fu were both caught off guard.

"Hahaha, since you have this ambition, I will fulfill it for you and give you the opportunity to become my direct disciple."

Fu Rong thought for a moment and laughed.

He assumed Ling Feng was ambitious and wanted to perform well in front of him to become his direct disciple in the future.

"Thank you, sir."

Ling Feng was overjoyed.

"Since that’s the case, cousin, I’ll leave Ling Feng for you to instruct. Don’t forget, he saved face for humanity at the continent exam."

Young Master Fu didn’t think too much. As long as Ling Feng was taken away by Fu Rong and cultivated with him, it wouldn’t matter when he officially became Fu Rong’s disciple.

Even if he just followed Fu Rong for cultivation without a formal master-disciple relationship, occupying Ling Feng’s body in the future could save some unnecessary trouble.

"Rest assured!"

Fu Rong nodded.

[You refused to become Fu Rong’s registered disciple, committed to Coasting Along, and received 334,467 Coasting Along Value.]

During the conversation between Fu Rong and Young Master Fu, a line of text appeared before Ling Feng’s eyes.

He almost couldn’t hold in his laughter.

Gaining more than 300,000 Coasting Along Value as soon as he arrived at the Star Gate, if he used them for his Sea of Consciousness Value, it could exceed 90.0 directly.

It’s a pity though; if Fu Rong had accepted him directly as a direct disciple, the Coasting Along Value would surely have been higher.

Before, each time he refused to join Qin Cangqiong and others, he gained hundreds of thousands of Coasting Along Value.

Fu Rong, as a strong figure in the Star Gate, a Super Divine Mind Master.

Even if this is just part of the Star Gate on Ancient Blue Star, Fu Rong’s strength is higher than Jiang Nan and others.

It’s worth noting that Kuang Siqi, who took Qin Qianyu, is a bona fide Foundation Establishment Realm cultivator.

As a Super Divine Mind Master with evolving spiritual power, Fu Rong has the potential to become an Artifact Refiner. His strength can’t be that low.

Otherwise, how could he oppose Feng Santong and ensure Ling Feng isn’t taken away?

"There are many rules for cultivating in the Star Gate. Even if you’re my direct disciple, on the surface, you’re only a Star Gate Outer Disciple. If you can’t enter the inner door within three years to become a Qi Refining Realm cultivator, you’ll have to leave the Star Gate.

They are your senior brothers, and if there’s anything you don’t understand, you can exchange knowledge with them.

That’s it for now."

Fu Rong took Ling Feng away, and after handing him over to his subordinates, he left Ling Feng alone.

Although he still didn’t know that Fu Shanhai had his eyes on Ling Feng’s body, wanting Young Master Fu to take over for reincarnation.

He had received Fu Shanhai’s instructions not to teach Ling Feng cultivation for now, supposedly to properly test Ling Feng first.

"Thank you, sir."

Ling Feng respectfully said.

After sending off Fu Rong, he rubbed his hands and looked around, discovering that Fu Rong’s area was large with many caves.

He could interact with the Outer Disciples and see the Servant Disciples.

As an Outer Disciple, he could command the Servant Disciples, and with their help, he completed various registrations and obtained a cave.

Upon entering the cave.

He felt something was wrong, so he couldn’t help but step back and caught an Outer Disciple to ask, "Are the caves assigned to everyone the same?"

"What do you think? You thought you were an Inner Sect Disciple, choosing freely to live in a cave with a Spirit Gathering Array?"

The Outer Disciple scoffed.

Ling Feng gave off the impression of being a country bumpkin.

"I never thought the Star Gate’s cultivation atmosphere was so relaxed. The cave actually has so many fun things."

"This is a bracelet leading to the Star Realm, other dimension plazas beyond Ancient Blue Star, not available outside."

"There are actually so many science fiction and fantasy novels."

"Oh my, Ancient Fat Dragon’s books, my dear grand writer, there’s even your illustrated biography here."

"This is a gaming console."

...

Ling Feng was attracted by the facilities inside the cave.

He originally thought the place where Star Gate disciples lived would be full of rune markings, and everything in life related to cultivation.

Unexpectedly, the cultivation atmosphere was so relaxed, with fun things everywhere inside and outside the cave.

"Bathing pool!" 𝗳𝗿𝐞𝕖𝘄𝗲𝕓𝗻𝚘𝚟𝕖𝐥.𝚌𝕠𝕞

"Sulfur smell? It’s actually a genuine hot spring."

"As expected of a holy land for cultivation, I, Ling Feng, have come to the right place."

Ling Feng couldn’t help but laugh and relax.

Soaking in the pool, he let two female robots join him in the hot spring, while massaging his legs.

He felt that everything here was meant for him.

The only thing related to cultivation that could be found in the room was a special array on the wall, whose purpose was unknown.

Anyway, touching it did not cause any danger.

As for what kind of array it is, that can be studied later.

"Coasting along is a realm, it’s a kind of wisdom.

Coasting for a while brings a lifetime of ease.

Coasting isn’t about giving up, but gathering strength.

Only by coasting can one stand up again more easily, enjoying the beauty of life."

"Who wrote this? It truly speaks to my heart."

Ling Feng casually picked up a book, opened it, and found it was all about encouraging people to coast along - spiritual chicken soup for the soul.

It made his blood boil with enthusiasm.

He couldn’t help but read it paragraph by paragraph.

Everything here was completely different from what he imagined, yet everything he saw was exactly what Ling Feng wanted most.

He had never been so happy and relaxed as he was now.

In the following days, Ling Feng discovered that no one came to take him for cultivation or taught him any cultivation techniques.

Apart from someone delivering three meals a day and servant disciples cleaning his room and life trash each day, no one paid any attention to him.

However, the things he liked to eat and books he liked to read were delivered in abundance the next day.

He found that although the food he consumed did not improve his cultivation, it was full of flavor and taste, always delicious. Every time, he ate until he was full, his stomach bloated, and then lay in bed to rest and play games.

This went on for ten consecutive days.

Ling Feng watched his Coasting Along Value increase by over six thousand points daily, and without realizing it, the total Coasting Along Value exceeded four hundred thousand points.

At this rate, even without refusing to apprentice under someone, in a hundred days his total Coasting Along Value would easily break through the one million mark.

This was something he never expected.

He originally thought that becoming a Star Gate disciple would inevitably involve cultivation, and even if he wanted to slack off, it wouldn’t be easy to succeed.

Unexpectedly, upon entering, he received over three hundred thousand Coasting Along Value points, and for ten whole days, he was surrounded by fun and delicious things.

So far, no Star Gate expert had guided him in cultivation or explained anything a Star Gate Outer Disciple should know.

Ling Feng was not a fool.

Initially, he felt very happy, living carefreely every day, treating Star Gate cultivation as a holiday at Star Gate.

But after ten days without anyone leading him in cultivation, or even telling him where to attend classes, things didn’t seem quite right.

He vaguely felt that something strange was going on.

On the eleventh day, after bathing, Ling Feng couldn’t resist leaving the cave dwelling to walk outside and see what other Star Gate disciples were doing.

How did they usually cultivate?

Were they all studying legendary cultivation techniques?

"Brother Ling, hello, I’m Ah Zi. Young Master Fu instructed me to familiarize you with various areas of the Star Gate."

Outside the cave dwelling, a young and beautiful maid had been waiting for some time.

"Oh, could it be that everything recently was arranged by Young Master Fu?"

Ling Feng asked curiously.

"Ah Zi is unsure, but Young Master Fu instructed me to take good care of you, and if you need anything, just say the word."

Ah Zi replied with a cheerful smile.

"Where do the people here usually cultivate, and where has Mr. Fu gone? Why hasn’t he been seen?"

Ling Feng asked curiously.

"Mr. Fu is preparing to break through as an Artifact Refiner, and he has been in seclusion during this period. Others have their own matters to deal with, so Young Master Fu instructed to treat this place as your home and not to feel restricted. Here, Young Master Fu can handle any issues for you."

Ah Zi responded earnestly.

"Why is Young Master Fu being so kind to me?"

Ling Feng was caught off guard.

"Everyone knows that you saved face for humanity in the continent exam, and your actions made Young Master Fu proud of you."

Ah Zi laughed.

"Haha, perhaps so. Young Master Fu, having been trapped in the deep sea for so many years, surely hopes there is someone who can vindicate him."

Ling Feng found this reason convincing.

That’s why Fu Shanhai would treat him and Qin Qianyu so well.

Thinking of Qin Qianyu, Ling Feng decided to check on him.

"I want to visit the Sword Sect."

Ling Feng said.

"Young Master Fu hopes you can first familiarize yourself with the surroundings and learn about the history and legends of Star Gate. After some time, I’ll take you to visit various departments."

Ah Zi replied with a sincere smile.

"Alright, lead the way."

Ling Feng felt there must be a reason for Young Master Fu’s arrangements. Perhaps he was new to Star Gate, still inexperienced, and unable to wander around freely.

To avoid causing trouble for Young Master Fu, Ling Feng spent the entire day strolling around with Ah Zi.

But just as he was about to return to his cave dwelling for enjoyment, an elderly, white-haired man jumped over from a distant mountain peak, causing a stir among all the Fu family disciples in the vicinity.
