Hiding in the sand, splitting into many places, starting with Arkham

"Exploring the mysteries of the Jia Shen Rebellion and the truth behind your grandfather's death? I suspect it's more than just that."

At the entrance of the foot massage parlor, in the back seat of the car.

Qingshui, watching Xu Si get out of the driver's seat to negotiate, said to Zhang Chulan.

"This..."

Zhang Chulan stammered.

He didn't dare tell Qingshui about Feng Baobao.

He would only tell this to people he trusted and was sure would stand with them.

He hadn't figured out this little fox, Qingshui, yet, so naturally, he wouldn't reveal too much.

"This... it's nothing, really. I was just thinking, if I could return to Longhu Mountain and become the Heavenly Master's heir, then those people outside coveting the Qi Body Source would never be able to touch me..."

Zhang Chulan shamelessly put on an embarrassed facade.

No, he never had any shame to begin with.

"Alright, whatever your purpose is, I really want that Tongtian Lu."

"Then, Teacher Zhuo, how about we make a deal? If I win the championship, don't take the Tongtian Lu. How about I give it to you?"

"That works too, but I also want the championship. How about this, I'll just take the Tongtian Lu and give you the position of Heavenly Master's heir? Then you at least have to get second place."

Zhang Chulan's eyes lit up.

That's right!

Instead of trying to win the championship myself, why not find someone more powerful to win it and then take their place?

I'm such a genius!

No, Professor Zhuo is a genius. No wonder he's a great scientist!

Although Feng Baobao had taught him a technique called "Old Farmer's Skill," which was actually the Qi Body Source, and he had cultivated it for a month, developing new applications for lightning techniques, greatly increasing his strength, Zhang Chulan didn't think he could confidently defeat Junior Uncle Zhang Lingyu.

If he couldn't defeat him in his burst state, then he would lose.

"Okay! Sister Zhao, you arrange it. I'll bring my buddy in!"

Xu Si happily ran back from outside, opened the car door, and subtly winked at Zhang Chulan.

【Negotiated?】

Little Zhang gave a thumbs-up with three fingers, an OK gesture.

"Come on! Professor Zhuo, I scouted out this Langyue Pavilion Bath Center yesterday. The quality is top-notch! Let me lead the way for you!"

Qingshui followed Xu Si out of the car.

Zhang Chulan looked at the splendidly decorated bath center in front of him, then looked down at himself, as if he could see the chastity seal through his pants, on the verge of tears.

They didn't return to the hotel until early morning.

The next morning, the group arrived at the entrance of Longhu Mountain like a tourist group.

"This... it's a little different from what I imagined. We have to pay for tickets to participate in the Luo Tian Dajiao? 260 for a full ticket. That's too expensive! It's almost a week's worth of living expenses."

Zhang Chulan looked at the ticket in his hand, lamenting.

Although he had joined Na Du Tong, he had only received one paycheck so far.

For the past twelve years, his life had been quite difficult. Since Zhang Huaiyi's death, his father, Zhang Yude, had also mysteriously disappeared. To protect himself, Zhang Chulan had never revealed his status as an Other in the past twelve years. He was able to afford food, schooling, and get into Nankai University thanks to national policies and the support of his fellow villagers. Life was still very difficult.

260 for a ticket was going to kill him.

"There's no way around it. Most of the front mountain of Longhu Mountain is managed by the Tourism Bureau. Even the Taoist priests of the Heavenly Master's Mansion can only manage the back mountain, and only a small part of the front mountain."

Xu Si, for once, didn't smoke, answering with his hands in his pockets.

"Hehe, is there any place in this world that isn't managed by the Tourism Bureau? Speaking of which, do Taoists have to pay for tickets to go to Longhu Mountain?"

"The Taoists of Longhu Mountain don't have to pay to return to their own mountain, but I, from Wudang, have to pay, and there's no discount, alas."

A lazy voice rang out, and a young Taoist in a black Taoist robe leisurely walked to Zhang Chulan's side.

"Wudang Sect, Wang Ye. How do I address this benefactor? And this benefactor, why do you look familiar? It's like I've seen you somewhere before?"

Wang Ye approached Zhang Chulan and Qingshui with a smile on his face, speaking casually.

"I don't know either, maybe on TV. I seem to have been on a TV show recently."

"Uh... Today's Statement?"

"It's the News Broadcast..."

Not far away, Feng Baobao was squatting in front of a small stall, reaching out to read the palm of a white-browed old monk.

Xu San pulled Feng Baobao, who was fascinated by the scammer, and tried to persuade her.

"The Heavenly Master is here."

Wang Ye suddenly looked towards the entrance.

"Oh dear, Professor Zhuo, you should have informed me beforehand that you were coming. If I hadn't been doing research on Longhu Mountain, I wouldn't have known you were here. Old Heavenly Master, this is Zhuo Qingshui, Professor Zhuo, a great scientist!"

A plump leader stood next to the Old Heavenly Master, introducing Qingshui and the Heavenly Master to each other. Behind them was a handsome white-haired Taoist with a cinnabar dot between his eyebrows.

"Zhuo Qingshui, greetings to the Old Heavenly Master, Real Person Lingyu, and this is..."

Qingshui cupped his hands to the three of them and looked at the plump leader.

"Professor Zhuo, I am Dai Jun, the Deputy Director of the YT City Tourism Bureau."

The leader said with a smile.

This great scientist has a very high status in academia, and his suggestions can directly reach the ears of the Emperor. Even if the two of them are not strictly on the same path, he must not offend him, let alone when there is no conflict of interest. Befriending him may be useful in the future.

"I see. Sorry, sorry, Director Dai. I'm just taking advantage of the students' vacation to take some time off to travel. There's no need to make such a fuss."

Qingshui dealt with Director Dai, and Zhang Zhiwei also looked at Zhang Chulan with a kind gaze.

He had seen Zhang Chulan's photo long ago.

"Chulan, call him Grandmaster."

The Old Heavenly Master patted Zhang Chulan on the shoulder.

"Grandmaster..."

"Lingyu, you take Professor Zhuo and Director Dai for a walk first. I have some things to tell Chulan."

...

...

Qingshui and Director Dai, accompanied by Gao Gong Zhang Lingyu, took a brief stroll around Longhu Mountain, then declined the invitation to lunch and crossed the cliff that separated the front and back mountains, arriving at the back mountain of Longhu Mountain.

The front mountain is a tourist attraction, the gateway to Taoism, while the back mountain is the territory of the Heavenly Master's Mansion that truly belongs to the Otherworld.

A cliff deep and wide enough to divide Others from ordinary people.

That Director Dai isn't an Adept, but he knows some information, though he's not deeply involved, so there's no need to bother him.

The drawing ceremony for the Luo Tian Dajiao is this afternoon.

"Jia Jinli, first match?"

Shimizu looked at the lottery results, fiddling with a long sword that was almost complete in front of him.

The sword body was slender, with a chilling light.

The good thing about the Divine Machine Hundred Refinements is that if you want any magical weapon, as long as you have the materials, you can refine it quickly.

Although time is a bit tight, this sword can't be considered a high-end magical weapon, but it's not bad either.

If it were in the hands of an ordinary refiner, it wouldn't be possible to make it in three or four years.

Shimizu only took three days.

"Amplify the power and distance of the sword Qi, can be remotely controlled initially, but the flexibility is lacking. However, if chakra threads are used as an auxiliary, it should be possible to use it like the Immortal Slaying Flying Dagger manipulation technique of the Jia family village in Shaanxi, becoming a sword immortal."

Shimizu stretched out his hand and ejected a chakra thread, manipulating the long sword to wander around the room of the Longhu Mountain guest house.

The flying knife technique of Jiajia Village is very famous. In Shimizu's view, it has something in common with refiners and puppeteers in some aspects.

Refiners spend several years slowly creating a magical weapon, while Jiajia Village hands the weapon to the child after he learns to extract Qi from an early age, allowing him to warm and nourish it with secret methods from childhood.

The fastest novel updates are on 6_9_shu_ba!

This speed is much faster than refining magical weapons, but the only drawback is that the thing is limited to a flying knife and cannot be as versatile as a magical weapon.

However, if a flying knife is nourished for a sufficient amount of time, its power will not be worse than a high-level magical weapon.

As the rank of the flying knife increases, the difficulty of manipulation will also decrease. If the mental power is sufficient, then a second flying knife can be nourished and used.

Jia Zhengyu's ability to use three flying knives is considered a master among the younger generation, worthy of being drawn in by Feng Zhenghao. Jia Zhengliang can control twelve, and if he wasn't reluctant to hit beautiful women, Feng Shayan would definitely not be his opponent.

Shimizu's requirements are not that complicated. He only needs a sword that is enough to use, and it must be able to be assembled and used with his platinum puppet.

He casually took a photo and sent the lottery results to the Wei Xun group.

"I'm Yi Baihu, Bao'er is Jia Meihua, Teacher Zhuo, we happen to be in two different regions. When the time comes, Bao'er can help me solve the opponents before the top four, and you can help me solve Zhang Lingyu before the final. The three of us are guaranteed to be unstoppable!"

In the next room, Zhang Chulan held his phone, his face full of excitement.

He felt like he was going to be sent straight to the finals!

In the newly created WeChat group yesterday:

Morgan's White-Eyed Fruit Fly: "Brother Chulan, is the Qi Body Source Flow really that powerful? Can it directly help you get into the top four? I see you'll encounter Zhuge Qing later! Adding a sentence, Ah Qing is really handsome! I have to go get his autograph tomorrow!"

Outlaw Zhang San: "Sister Yanqiu is right, and there's Iron Monkey. This guy's father is a secular disciple of the Southern Shaolin, with a considerable reputation. He has integrated the family's Tongbei Fist and Buddhist techniques, and is also a master among the younger generation. Brother Chulan, are you confident?"

Zhang Chulan tilted his head slightly and looked at Xu San and Xu Si.

He didn't understand the level of the other players.

"If it's Iron Monkey, if you use the move you developed from Thunder Technique, you should be able to win steadily. As for Zhuge Qing..."

Xu San rested his chin and thought.

"That guy has never lost in the younger generation's competitions. He has cultivated the Wuhou Qimen to perfection, making him very difficult to deal with. Even an old guy like me who is almost ten years older than him may not be able to take him down."

"Hey, why think so much? The day before the competition, just let Bao Bao bury him."

Xu Si waved his hand, smoking a cigarette.

"No smoking in the room, Xu Si!"

Xu San wanted to snatch the cigarette.

"No problem, leave it to me!"

Feng Baobao raised her hand and made an OK gesture.

"Bao Bao, this time is different, you can't bury him!"

"It's okay, we can just deny it afterwards."

Feng Baobao looked like she was extremely clever.

Xu San felt a headache for a while.

Why are one or two of them so unruly!

"Alright, we'll talk about it later. If Chulan can't beat Zhuge Qing, then let Bao Bao and Professor Zhuo take the championship, it's the same."

Xu Si waved his hand.

The next day.

In the preliminaries and the round of 32, Shimizu didn't use any effort. He simply relied on the magical weapon sword in his hand and his cultivation in the late Ming Ghost Realm to push through all the way.

Cultivation in the Ming Ghost Realm is considered good in the world of Adepts. The late Ming Ghost Realm is considered top-notch among the younger generation. Except for the masters of the middle-aged and elderly generation, his life cultivation is definitely better than theirs.

In addition, with a swordsmanship that integrates the essence of the Moist School's Non-Aggression Sword Technique, even without using puppets, these younger generation Adepts cannot deal with him.

Another thing worth mentioning is that Zhang Chulan relied on his mouth cannon and shamelessness to win three opponents in the preliminaries without bloodshed, successfully earning himself the title of "Unshakable Bi Lian" in the Jianghu of the Adept world.

The real excitement was when the young contestants gathered at night.

"Zhang Chulan."

Wang Ergou, a retainer of the Lu family, looked at Zhang Chulan with a reserved expression.

"Uh... what's the matter?"

"Let us see your * *!"

Wang Ergou put his hands together, making a very sissy heart-holding gesture, his eyes under his glasses full of anticipation.

Zhang Chulan: ???!!!

Then he became furious.

"What do you mean? Do you think I'm gay? Do I look like a gay? Or do I look easy to bully? I'm going to freak out!!!"

"No, no, no, we're not interested in your * *. We're just curious about the Shou Gong Sha on it!"

"Not interested in my * *? Are you underestimating my * *?"

"No, no, no, we're just very curious about this kind of forbidden secret technique that is about to be lost."

Lu Linglong hurried over, nervously saying.

"Yes, yes, yes, definitely not for any obscene purpose!"

Lu Linglong's good friend Zhi Jinhua also quickly followed.

"Get lost!"

Zhang Chulan righteously refused.

An hour later.

"Hehe, eh hehe."

Zhang Chulan's face was flushed with drunkenness, standing on a haystack.

"Then today, I'll open your eyes! Look!"

A group of holy light appeared.

Shimizu sat cross-legged, throwing away the potato chip packaging bag he had finished eating, and carefully examined it.

This thing...

It's quite similar to sealing techniques.

It can autonomously sense the emotions and goodwill of people from the outside world. This Shou Gong Sha also contains certain areas that sealing techniques have not yet touched.
