Chapter 001 Becoming the Master

  Fei Yu Shan is an inconspicuous mountain in the vast southwestern mountains of Zhongzhou Continent, with many maple trees on it.

  The Xiu Zhen Sect - Yu Hua Men is located at the top of this mountain.

  It is now in the depths of autumn, at dusk, the setting sun shines on the frosty leaves, and the whole mountain is a fiery red.

  Under the sunset, Qin Chuan leaned against a maple tree, staring at the red leaves all over the mountain in a trance.

  No matter who passes by him, he doesn't care, his eyes just keep changing, sometimes confused, sometimes deep in thought.

  Starting from yesterday, Qin Chuan has been like this. It's clear that something major happened to him.

  But now no one has the mood to pay attention to him. Because something bigger happened in Yu Huamen - Liu Zhangmen was beaten into a serious injury while fighting with someone, and his life is in danger at any time!

  Liu Zhuangmen is the pillar of Yu Hua Men. If he dies, the great hall of Yu Hua Men will collapse!

  The so-called "skyscraper" is actually a misnomer.

  A dilapidated grand hall, a few old houses, and the total number of people in the sect, including cooks and sweepers, was less than twenty. This was all that remained of the Yuanyi Sect's foundation.

  A long, long time ago, the Uyghur people were also renowned in this region.

  The founder of the school was originally a wandering doctor who picked up a jade box on this mountain, which contained the secret book of immortality "Feather Transformation and Ascension".

  With this secret book, the founder of the sect embarked on the path of immortality, calling himself Yu Hua Zhen Ren, and established the Yu Hua Men sect in this mountain.

  It is said that Yu Hua Zhen Ren's cultivation has already reached the foundation-building period, and within a radius of several hundred miles, there is no sect that can compare.

  Yuhua Gate naturally became the leader of this region, with a thriving population and a prosperous sect.

  Unfortunately, the good times did not last long. After the founder of the sect passed away, the Feather Transformation Gate flourished for two more generations, and then a major event occurred - the "Feather Transformation Ascension Technique" was actually lost by the fourth generation leader.

  Although he rewrote a book from his own memory, there must be omissions and errors. From then on, his cultivation made no further progress.

  And after him, the Huajia Gate became weaker with each generation.

  The current generation's Liu Zhangmen, although nearly fifty years old and practicing diligently every day, has a strength of only the third layer of the Qi Refining stage. The Great Perfection of the Qi Refining stage is still far out of reach, let alone the Foundation Building stage.

  When strength declines, the sect will also decline.

  Originally, Fei Yu Mountain had a main peak and several secondary peaks. However, the school's disciples are now scarce and unable to maintain them, so all the secondary peaks have been abandoned, leaving only the main peak with some activity.

  It's just a pity that even this main peak is no longer secure now.

  Half a month ago, a loose cultivator named Song Yang led several disciples to force their way up Fei Yu Mountain, speaking wildly and wanting to forcibly occupy Fei Yu Mountain, telling the Yu Hua Gate disciples to roll down the mountain. If anyone dared to waste words, they would be killed on the spot.

  Liu Zhangmen was naturally furious and engaged in a fierce battle with Song Yang.

  Who would have thought that as the leader of a sect, his strength was inferior to that of Song Yang, a loose cultivator. He had to risk his life to injure Song Yang, but he himself suffered even more severe injuries.

  Before leaving, Song Yang left a sentence: "My injury will heal in four months at most. Four months later, I will make a comeback. As for you, Liu Zhangmen, if you are still alive by then, we will have another match. If you die, then the Flying Feather Mountain affair won't be your concern anymore."

  It has been almost a month now, and Liu Zhangmen's injury is getting heavier and heavier. He is expected to leave the world soon. The whole Yu Hua Men is in a state of panic.

  Facing such a situation, Qin Chuan, as Liu Zhangmen's most beloved disciple, should think of ways to get out of the predicament as soon as possible, rather than sitting under the tree in a daze.

  But Qin Chuan was really helpless, because he wasn't a person of the Feather Transformation Gate at all, nor was he a person of this world! He was a transmigrator!

  Qin Chuan, who is now a cultivator, was once an ordinary university student on Earth. He quietly enjoyed his college life and played some games in his free time to pass the time.

  Recently, Qin Chuan has been playing a new mode of Xianxia online game called "Xian Xia Zhong Men Ren".

  Unlike traditional online games that promote personal heroism, it adopts a management strategy mode.

  In this game, the player is not an individual who kills monsters to level up or steals treasure, but a leader of a sect who manages and develops it. Not only must he have super strong personal abilities, but also a calm and wise mind to choose the right development path, recruit various talents for his own use, and lead the sect from scratch to prosperity.

  When entering the game world for the first time, players must first gain control of a primary sect, using it as their base to develop, such as placing buildings, opening up land, planting grains and herbs, as well as recruiting disciples and forming alliances.

  Unique gameplay, new growth system, and more challenging player's comprehensive quality. With these features, "Xiu Zhen Zhang Men Ren" attracted a large number of loyal players shortly after its release. Qin Chuan is one of them.

  He relied on his tight thinking and extraordinary luck to develop his sect in a very short period of time, becoming a major force in the game world.

  Originally, Qin Chuan Zhengxiong was full of ambition, wanting to strive for greater development. Unexpectedly, two days ago, while playing a game, he encountered a strange and bizarre event. After pressing the confirmation button for synthesizing treasures in the game, the space around him suddenly fluctuated, giving rise to a black whirlpool that sucked Qin Chuan in.

  After waking up, Qin Chuan found himself crossing over and occupying a young body with the same name as his own.

  Through the memories stored in his body, Qin Chu knew that this world was called Zhongzhou, a real world where cultivation existed. The Feather Mountain Feather Transformation Gate he was currently in was a cultivation sect.

  Unfortunately, this school is really too small. There are only one master, one senior brother and six junior brothers in total, with weak strength, and it's impossible to rely on them as a backing.

  And in three months' time, it will face a catastrophic disaster.

  Having just arrived, Qin Chuan encountered such a dangerous situation and had to consider his own future.

  These people in the sect, although nominally their own masters and brothers, Qin Chuan had crossed over from another world and didn't have any emotional connection with them. Staying in the sect to wait for death together with them was clearly not a wise choice;

  If one were to leave the sect, they would be in a vast and unfamiliar world, without any acquaintances or relatives, and with limited abilities, making it difficult to even survive.

  After thinking for a while, Qin Chuan couldn't help but sigh.

  It's really frustrating.

  Just then, Qin Chuan suddenly heard someone calling out to him. He looked up and saw that it was his third junior brother Chen Hao, who had a sturdy build.

  Chen Hao hurriedly ran to Qin Chuan, saying: "Second brother, the master is not doing well and is calling for you!"

  Can't hold on anymore...

  Qin Chuan let out a sigh, stood up from the ground and rushed to Liu Zhangmen's room with Chen Hao. After arriving, they found that eight disciples of the sect, plus Chen Bo who was in charge of managing the sect's land, money, and miscellaneous affairs, Wang Shu who was responsible for cooking and cleaning, Heng Er who was the sect leader's servant, and four other miscellaneous personnel had all gathered in Liu Zhangmen's room.

  After entering, everyone else took the initiative to greet Qin Chuan, while Shidi Shi Ping stood still, only using his peripheral vision to sweep Qin Chuan, raising an eyebrow and letting out a cold hum.

  From memory, Qin Chuan knew that because of his master's favoritism towards him, his senior brother had always been dissatisfied in his heart. Even at this time, he couldn't let go of the knot in his heart.

  Liu Zhangmen, who was lying in bed, was now weak as a thread. Seeing Qin Chuan come in, he immediately called Qin Chuan to his bedside, holding his hand and saying: "Xiao Chuan, Master is no more... From today on, our Yuhua Gate will be handed over to you. You must promise Master to use every means to protect Yuhua Gate, cannot let the foundation of hundreds of years be destroyed in our hands..."

  Qin Chuan couldn't help but feel a pang of sadness in his heart. Although he had no feelings for Liu Zhangmen, the memories left behind by his predecessor were all warm and loving memories of Liu Zhangmen. Influenced by these memories, coupled with Liu Zhangmen's dying pleas, Qin Chuan really couldn't bear to refuse him.

  But where is there a way to keep the Feather Transformation Gate?

  Liu Zhangmen's cultivation in the three layers of Qi Refining was the highest in the entire sect, yet he couldn't defeat that loose cultivator Song Yang. And this body he had inherited had a strength of only the first layer of Qi Refining, and wasn't even a match for Song Yang.

  Three months later, Song Yang recovered from his injuries and climbed up the mountain again. The only thing waiting for him was a dead end.

  Liu Zhuangmen didn't notice Qin Chuan's hesitation, and after finishing speaking, he turned his head to the other disciples and said: "From now on, I will officially pass on the position of sect leader to Qin Chuan. Why don't you all hurry up and pay your respects to the new sect leader?"

  "Pay respects to the leader!" After hearing Liu's words, everyone knelt down. Only Eldest Brother Shi Ping remained standing still, his face cold and gloomy.

  "Xiao Chuan, I'm leaving Huayuemen to you, you must..." Liu Zhuangmen's words were cut off as he took his last breath.

  As Liu Zhangmen died, Qin Chuan was about to speak when a strange sound suddenly rang out in his ear: "Congratulations, you have successfully obtained control of the Yu Hua Gate and become the new leader! You will receive a Newbie Resource Pack to aid your early development. Would you like to claim it immediately?"

  Right in front of him, a transparent information interface appeared, with Qin Chuan's personal information listed on the left side:

  Name: Qin Chuan

  School: Yuè Huà Mén

  Position: Master

  Ling root: yes

  Cultivation: Qi Refining Stage One Layer

  On the right side is listed the information of the Yuè Huà Mén school:

  School Name: Yu Huamen

  School level: 2nd grade

  Faction Reputation: 30 (Unknown)

  Number of disciples: 8 people

  Special building: None

  Town Mountain Method Treasure: None

  Hushan Great Array: None

  Alliance Force: None

  Enemy forces: Scattered cultivator Song Yang

  This scene was all too familiar to Qin Chuan. It was the system prompt tone and game interface that he had encountered when he first entered the game "Xiu Zhen Zhang Men Ren"!

  But I've already crossed over and left that world behind, so how can I still hear and see these things? Is this reality or just an illusion?

  Qin Chuan couldn't believe his eyes and shifted his gaze to Shi Ping, whose basic information immediately appeared on the info interface in front of him:

  Name: Shi Ping

  School: Yuè Huà Mén

  Position: Disciple

  Ling root: yes

  Cultivation: Qi Refining Stage Two

  Others are no different either.

  It seems this isn't an illusion. I can use the functions from the game world in the Zhongzhou world as if I have a special ability!

  Was it possible that the strange turn of events at the beginning not only caused me to cross over, but also allowed the game and my consciousness to merge in some way?

  Qin Chu was guessing in his heart, but of course, he couldn't guess the reason.

  It doesn't matter what's going on, actually. What matters is that if you can really use the game functions to develop and expand your sect like in a game, then the current predicament won't be an unsolvable problem anymore!

  With the support of gaming functions, plus his own personal abilities, Qin Chuan didn't believe that he couldn't even handle a small loose cultivator!
