Wife, you didn't really drug me, did you?

"this!"

Hengqing realized that Zhang Zhenren had indeed recommended someone to him, but he hadn't chosen that person. Now that they had all left, what should he do?

Thinking this, Hengqing looked at Li Zhong and said, "Brother Li, what should I do now?"

Upon hearing this, Li Zhong said, "What else can you do? You can only go and ask him to see if he's willing to help."

"What if he doesn't want to?"

Hengqing looked at Li Zhong and asked. Li Zhong pondered for a moment and said, "Then it depends on how much you want to succeed. If you don't have such a strong desire to succeed, then it doesn't matter."

Upon hearing this, Heng Qing fell silent. After a long while, she finally spoke, "I understand."

Then he got up and went to the dining hall of Wudang.

Inside the canteen.

Zhang Cuishan and Chen Jie each had a bowl of rice, a bowl of cabbage stewed with tofu, and a bowl of stir-fried greens.

"Brother Chen, our food here is rather bland, please don't mind."

Zhang Cuishan spoke.

Chen Jie then said, “Alas, that is not right. The quality of food should not be judged by whether it is bland or not. What matters more is who you are eating with. If you are not with someone you like, you will not be able to appreciate even the most exquisite delicacies.”

"If you come to eat with someone you get along with, even simple food is a delicacy."

"As the saying goes, a mountain is not famous because of its height, but because of the immortals who dwell there; water is not sacred because of its depth, but because of the dragons that inhabit it. The Wudang Mountains may not be the most majestic, but with Master Zhang there, it is the number one mountain under heaven."

"You're right."

Chen Jie looked at Zhang Cuishan and said, Zhang Cuishan nodded slightly and said, "My master is indeed a rare person throughout history. If you said that to other people, I would think it was too much, but when it comes to my master, no one would think it was too much."

Chen Jie said, "Yes, he is the best in the world, a terrestrial immortal. Even if you use all the praiseworthy words to describe him, it would not seem hypocritical at all."

"He is perfectly entitled to it."

Zhang Cuishan looked at Chen Jiedao and said, "Alright, Brother Jiu Si, stop praising my master here. My master won't look at you differently just because you praised him a couple of times."

Upon hearing this, Chen Jie said, "That's for sure, but my respect for Master Zhang comes from the bottom of my heart."

Zhang Cuishan smiled and said, "Alright, since that's the case, I won't say anything more. Praise me however you like, but let's get down to business first."

Chen Jie looked at Zhang Cuishan, who said, "Aren't you really going to help that poor little girl?"

Chen Jie looked at him and said, "They don't think highly of me."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Cuishan said, "The little girl didn't quite grasp it at first, but I don't think she's a bad person. She's just a bit childish, after all, she's only ten years old..."

Upon hearing this, Chen Jie looked at Zhang Cuishan and said, "Hehe, I understand what Cuishan said. Don't worry, I won't stoop to his level. However, she will not cherish what she gets easily. It's only right to give her a setback."

Zhang Cuishan said, "I knew Brother Chen wasn't the kind of person who would stand by and watch someone die."

Chen Jie didn't say anything after hearing this, but he was thinking to himself what it meant to stand by and watch someone die. If he didn't need the "Four Seasons Celestial Phenomena Technique" from Kunlun Wonderland, he wouldn't have gotten involved in this mess so easily.

But now, Li Siqi has likely already reached Kunlun Immortal Realm, obtained the Demon Blade Tiger Soul, and his strength has reached the fourth level of the Melting God realm.

He has become so powerful. What will happen when he comes out of the Immortal Realm? I am now in a situation where we are mortal enemies. At that time, I will have Tang Bao of the Tang Clan in the west, Tong Wei of the Whale Shark Gang in the south, and Li Siqi, a fourth-level fusion god of swords, in the north.

Even with Yuan Sanjia's help and Jin Ye's delaying tactics, how could he possibly withstand the siege of three fourth-level Molten Gods? Moreover, there might be more than three fourth-level Molten Gods. The world was becoming increasingly chaotic, and there might be even more people waiting to destroy him and rise to power over his corpse.

Therefore, this trip to Kunlun was not something I only did because Heng Qing begged me to go; rather, I had no choice but to go.

As Chen Jie was thinking this, Heng Qing and Li Zhong arrived not far away.

Zhang Cuishan took a bite of the greens and said, "It's here."

Chen Jie remained silent, wanting to see what Heng Qing was going to do. At that moment, Heng Qing came directly in front of Chen Jie and looked at him.

Chen Jie was eating the tofu and cabbage in his bowl and didn't pay any attention to her. After a short while, he saw Heng Qing suddenly kneel down with a thud.

Ah!
This scene immediately frightened many people and attracted a lot of attention, but Chen Jie remained very steady and did not react at all to Heng Qing's kneeling.

At this moment, Chen Jie put down his chopsticks and looked calmly at Heng Qing, saying, "The ground is cold, why is that, Little Immortal Venerable?"

Upon hearing Chen Jie's words, Heng Qing said, "I'm sorry, I was wrong. I was blind and didn't know that there was a master in front of me."

Chen Jie said, "What wrong have you done? I'm not some kind of expert. Get well soon."

Hengqing said, "No, I won't get up. If you do something wrong, you have to be punished. I'm willing to accept the punishment. Please let me kneel down, Master Chen."

Chen Jie looked at Zhang Cuishan and said, "Cuishan, what do you think?"

Zhang Cuishan looked at Hengqing and sighed, "Alas... you girl are really something, you only want my master to take action, but my master is concerned with the foundation of the entire Han people, how can he easily leave the mountain."

“My master recommended Master Chen to you, which must be due to his divine wisdom. If you trust him, then you can ask Master Chen to help. If you don’t trust him, there’s nothing anyone can do.”

"I believe it, I believe it."

Hengqing said to Zhang Cuishan, who looked at her and said, "You really believe it?"

Heng Qing said, "I really believe it, I believe it one hundred percent."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Cuishan nodded and said, "Alright, since you believe me, I'll help you."

As he spoke, Zhang Cuishan looked at Chen Jie and said, "Brother Chen, he is young and ignorant. Why don't you go to Kunlun with him for the sake of my master?"

Upon hearing this, Chen Jie looked at Zhang Cuishan and said, "Cuishan, since you've said that, what else can I say?"

Chen Jie looked at Heng Qing kneeling on the ground and said, "You know the situation in Kunlun better than I do, so I'm risking my life to go to Kunlun with you. I could have refused, but since Cui Shan has brought up Master Zhang, I can't refuse him."

"So I can go to Kunlun with you."

"Thank you very much, Master Chen."

Upon hearing this, Heng Qing said excitedly, but Chen Jie said, "Don't be too happy yet. I can accept this mission, but I want to make three rules with you!"

Upon hearing this, Heng Qing said, "Please speak, Master Chen."

"First, here on Kunlun, all actions must be under my command. You cannot act arbitrarily. This is possible."

"Yes!" "Second, you must fulfill the conditions you promised me in time. After we arrive in Kunlun, you must find a way to give me the complete Four Seasons Celestial Phenomena Manual."

"I can tell you where the Four Seasons Celestial Phenomena Manual is hidden; you can find it yourself."

"can."

Chen Jie nodded.

Chen Jie then said, "As for the third chapter, I haven't thought of it yet. I'll talk about it when I do."

Hengqing said, "Yes, absolutely."

After saying this, Chen Jie extended his hand, and Heng Qing also extended her hand. Chen Jie helped Heng Qing up, and after they stood up, Heng Qing looked at Chen Jie and said, "So, our cooperation is settled. Are you willing to help me save Kunlun?"

Chen Jie said, "It's done."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Cuishan laughed and said, "Very well, then the matter of Kunlun can be put to rest. Come on, Brother Chen, let's eat."

A sound rang out, and then Chen Jie and Zhang Cuishan began to eat heartily. Heng Qing stood to the side. Chen Jie said, "What are you standing there for? Go over there and ask the chef to serve you rice. Once you've eaten your fill, get ready to leave."

"Hey!"

Chen Jie was delighted by the vegetarian meal, not because the food was particularly delicious, but because of the unique location: Wudang Mountain.

Eating at the temple where the immortals reside naturally brings a pleasant feeling.

After eating and drinking to their hearts' content and resting for a while, Chen Jie bid farewell to Zhang Cuishan. Zhang Cuishan looked at Chen Jie and said, "Brother Chen, I won't see you off any further. Recently, I have been in seclusion at Wudang and have not been involved in the affairs of the martial world, so I cannot accompany Brother Chen on his trip to Kunlun."

Chen Jie said, "The journey to Kunlun is extremely difficult. Brother Cuishan, you'd better not get involved in this mess. If I accidentally hurt you, Susu will blame me to death."

Upon hearing "Susu," Zhang Cuishan's face instantly turned red, and he quickly replied, "No, how could Susu dare to complain about her elder brother?"

Chen Jie looked at Zhang Cuishan and said, "Judging from your expression, I can tell you've been complaining a lot. Alright, I won't say any more. I need to hurry on my way. It's not a short trip to Kunlun."

Zhang Cuishan clasped his hands in a fist salute and said, "Take care on your journey."

Chen Jie clasped his hands in farewell and said, "Farewell."

Chen Jie then looked at the high peak behind the Zhenwu Emperor's Hall, and then cupped his fists towards it as a farewell to that terrestrial immortal.

Following closely behind, Li Zhong and the others traveled straight towards Kunlun with Heng Qing in tow.

They traveled for three days and encountered a group of pursuers, which Chen Jie easily defeated.

Meanwhile, Chen Jie and Heng Qing had already disguised themselves. Heng Qing disguised himself as a young man, while Chen Jie disguised himself as an old man. The group headed north, and along the way, Chen Jie was also looking for materials. Every day, he would go to the car to make a human face mold for Jiang Feng.

Over time, Chen Jie created a human skin mask that could mimic Jiang Feng's appearance.

And so, this became Chen Jie's trump card on his journey to Kunlun.

And so, the group arrived at the foot of the Kunlun Mountains.

Looking at the majestic and snow-covered Kunlun Mountains in front of him, Chen Jie couldn't help but exclaim, "This is the main court of the dragon vein, the Kunlun Mountains, the master of all mountains!"
Chen Jie looked at Li Zhong and the others behind him and said, "You don't need to come in with us. You've had a hard time on this trip. Share these pills as a reward for your hard work."

Chen Jie took out a bottle of pills. These pills were nothing more than something Chen Jie could casually refine, but they were a real treasure in the eyes of these low-level martial artists.

It can help them reach a higher level. For example, Li Zhong is already at the peak of the Core Formation Realm, but he has never had the opportunity to break through. Now, with this bottle of pills, he can easily advance to the Wolf Smoke Realm and go back to inherit his master's escort agency.

Therefore, Chen Jie was quite generous this time. However, to his surprise, Li Zhong shook his head and said, "Master Chen, we don't want the pills. We want to follow you all the time."

Li Zhong wasn't stupid. Taking the pill was tantamount to buying out the friendship they had built up recently. The person in front of him was clearly no ordinary person, and if he could follow him, he would surely rise to prominence.

Although Li Zhong was simple-minded, he could tell the difference between eating his fill at one meal and eating his fill at every meal.

Chen Jie glanced at Li Zhong, then at the men behind him, and said, "This is a Warming Pill. Eating it will allow you to break through to the Wolf Smoke Realm."

Upon hearing this, Li Zhong shook his head and said, "Great hero, you underestimate us. We are willing to follow you because we admire your character, not because of these pills. If you do not wish us to follow you, you may leave now, but please do not use these pills to humiliate us."

Chen Jie looked at Li Zhong's expression, though he didn't know what Li Zhong was really thinking.

However, Chen Jie had to admit that Li Zhong was a clever man. Although he looked honest and kind, he had a shrewd mind, and Chen Jie liked people like that.

Moreover, Chen Jie's men are not short of food; to conquer the world, one must make as many friends as possible and as few enemies as possible.

Thinking of this, Chen Jie looked at Li Zhong and said, "It's up to you, but I'm telling you now, this trip is very dangerous, and I might not come back. If that happens, you've waited in vain."

Upon hearing this, Li Zhong immediately clasped his hands in a fist salute and said, "We are willing to wait for you, great hero."

Chen Jie said, "Very good, I understand your thoughts. As long as I can get out of Kunlun, I will take you as my followers."

Thank you all.

The group immediately knelt down to express their agreement and addressed him as their lord. In fact, they already knew Chen Jie's identity. When Chen Jiusi, the four great lords, was called out at Wudang, they recognized Chen Jie's identity as the prefect of Huangzhou.

One of the five great overlords of the world.

That's right. The world is now divided into five overlords, who are also considered by the world to be the most likely to overthrow the Great Qian Dynasty.

Ming Yuzhen of the Tang Clan in Sichuan, Chen Youding of the Whale Shark Gang in Hainan, Chen Jiusi, the Prefect of Huangzhou, Li Siqi, the Sword God of the Northwest, and Zhu Chongba, the Overlord of the Northeast.

These are the five recognized overlords, forces capable of overthrowing the world. As for those of a slightly lower level, there are the waning Zoroastrianism, the rising stars of Jiangnan, and Zhang Shicheng, among others.

However, it is still a bit inferior to the five major overlords.

The person in front of them was clearly Chen Jiu Si, one of the five overlords. How could they let such a powerful being go?
That's why they were willing to give up the elixir in exchange for the opportunity to join Chen Jie's cause.

Chen Jie understood their thoughts. After all, he would have done the same. Climbing the social ladder is everyone's motivation, and no one would give up such an opportunity.

With everything arranged, Chen Jie led Heng Qing straight to the Kunlun Mountains. They would first cross the Kunlun Mountains and then find a nine-story sacrificial tower deep within them. To enter the fairyland, they would have to wait for the moonlight to shine on the sacrificial tower every three days. The tower would then release a mysterious power, which would eventually open the gate to the Kunlun Fairyland and allow them to enter.

As Chen Jie and Heng Qing walked towards Kunlun Wonderland, a person appeared in front of the nine-story sacrificial tower. This person was dressed in black and did not show his face. He looked at the moonlight shining on the sacrificial tower and then saw a large gate appear on the horizon.

"Golden Toad, I feel Chi You's power calling me again."

Upon hearing this, the golden toad said, "Hehe, then what are we waiting for? Let's go in and retrieve our precious sword!"

After speaking, the man in black disappeared into the secret realm. (End of Chapter)
