Chapter 44 Teleportation and Uncles
"Nai~"

Gardevoir smiled and handed over a plate with two croissants and a bowl of steaming mushroom soup on it.

Qin Zhen thanked him and just took the plate when he suddenly felt a breeze on his face. Qin Zhen was stunned and turned his head to see the owner of Qingcheng Pavilion appear out of thin air.

Qin Zhen looked Gu Changfeng up and down. He saw that he had been running up and down the mountain, but he was still neat and tidy, without even a drop of sweat on his face. He looked so cool and handsome. He couldn't help but feel a little envious.

At this moment, Gu Changfeng suddenly turned around and asked with a smile: "Speaking of which, Qin Zhen, you are also a superpower, do you want to learn this?"

"Which one?" Qin Zhen was stunned.

"Teleport."

"Is it possible?!" Qin Zhen was extremely surprised, but then he calmed down again. "Master Gu, this can't be the secret technique of the Qingcheng Dojo, right? If I want to learn it, I have to join the Qingcheng Dojo or something..."

"It has nothing to do with the Taoist temple. This was taught to me by an old Taoist priest on Mount Qingcheng." Gu Changfeng said, "But I promised the old Taoist priest a condition back then, so if Qin Zhen wants to learn, then you have to agree to the same condition as me."

The other party's tone was solemn, and Qin Zhen couldn't help but become serious. He put the plate in his hand aside, sat down in front of the Qingcheng Pavilion Master, and straightened his back slightly.

"Master Gu, what are the conditions?"

"You must study hard and memorize every word." Gu Changfeng looked into Qin Zhen's eyes and said word by word: "In the future, when facing every student who asks you to teach, you must be as serious as I taught you today, and you cannot hide anything."

Qin Zhen was stunned. "That's it?"

"That's it." Gu Changfeng nodded.

"Master Gu, I don't understand." Qin Zhen frowned. "It sounds like this condition is intended to prevent the loss of this skill. If that's the case, why not just compile the teaching content into a book or film it into a video?"

"You'll understand once you start learning." The Qingcheng Pavilion Master smiled. "But it seems you, Qin Zhen, have no objection to this condition. Let's get started now, starting with the basics. Now, close your eyes."

Qin Zhen nodded and closed his eyes.

"Qin Zhen, tell me, what do you see now?"

"There was nothing, I just felt darkness in front of my eyes." Qin Zhen replied.

"That's because you are still thinking about using your eyes to observe the world around you." Gu Changfeng put his hand on Qin Zhen's shoulder. At this moment, his voice was solemn, and he suddenly changed from a gentle and joking brother to a serious teacher.

“Don’t look, don’t listen, don’t smell, don’t touch. Take a deep breath, straighten your back, and imagine your soul slowly rising, breaking free from the constraints of your body, and instantly filling the heavens and the earth. Use your heart to feel the world.”

The Qingcheng Pavilion Master's voice was not loud, but to Qin Zhen it sounded like the roar of a war drum. It was the resonance of spiritual power. With every word he spoke, his heart couldn't help but tremble, but his mind became clearer and clearer, as if he heard the evening drum and the morning bell.

At this point, Qin Zhen finally understood why the old Taoist priest did not choose to leave behind any books or video records, because the practice of this skill requires the guidance of the spiritual power of the predecessors, and it is destined to exist only through word of mouth among people with super powers.

His breathing gradually became slow and long, and his facial features relaxed, as if he was sitting in the center of heaven and earth, with a rotating starry sky above his head.

No way? So soon...

Seeing this scene, Gu Changfeng's brows twitched slightly, and he slowly loosened his hand and asked cautiously:

"Qin Zhen, what do you see now?"

"It was still pitch black, but something in the darkness seemed to be...calling to me." Qin Zhen closed his eyes and described it slowly: "Light, it was light, a pure, cyan light."

Light?
Gu Changfeng was a little confused. From the description, it seemed that Qin Zhen had not yet gotten started. A superpower who had truly completed basic training should have gained the ability to perceive the surrounding environment like a radar, just like awakening the legendary mind's eye.

However, the Qingcheng Pavilion Master was not surprised. The basic practice of teleportation is a bit like meditation. When you empty your mind, it is inevitable that there will be a lot of distracting thoughts. When he was practicing teleportation in the Qing Palace on Qingcheng Mountain, his mind was full of Kirlia's slender green legs. He sat there for a whole day without making any progress, which made the old Taoist priest who taught him very angry and punished him to copy the "Qingjing Jing" a hundred times.

But... light? What kind of distracting thoughts were these? Could it be that Qin Zhen had unique tastes and liked Mother of Ultra?

Just as Gu was wondering if he should also take out a copy of the "Classic of Purity and Tranquility" and make Qin Zhen copy it, his shoulders suddenly sank. Gu Changfeng was stunned for a moment, turned his head, and saw a huge leather glove.

The giant bear was standing behind him. It stared at the Qingcheng Pavilion Master through the thick black veil for a moment, then turned and left.

Gu Changfeng understood. He patted Gardevoir's hand, signaling it to stay here and look after Qin Zhen. He slowly stood up and silently followed the giant bear's footsteps, following the latter to the other side away from the camp.

The giant bear turned around and handed over a note.

——Has the notification been passed down?

"Well, the scenic area is already evacuating tourists, and the Qingcheng Gym has entered combat readiness, ready to contact all available professional trainers." The Qingcheng Gym Leader's expression was calm. "I've sent a message to Jinguan City and the Qingcheng Gym. If they can't contact me within a week, a new Gym Leader will be secretly selected immediately."

Hearing this, the giant bear nodded, sat down cross-legged on the spot, and took out a notebook and pen from his arms.

——What were you doing just now?
The Qingcheng Pavilion Master brought a stone over and sat down. "It's Qin Zhen. I was just teaching him how to teleport."

——Right now, evil spirits are stirring. As the head of Qingcheng Pavilion, what you should really do is prepare for war rather than teach students.

"Will the preparations of humans and elves really be effective against a natural disaster?" The Qingcheng Pavilion Master shook his head. "It would be better to teach the students now. If Qin Zhen can learn teleportation, it will be safer."

——You were not like this before. I still remember watching you challenge the Tianxin Gym in Yanjing. Gardevoir won four games in a row. You stood on the podium and said to everyone: Everyone, this will be the most memorable day in your life, because the Donghuang Psychic System will be revived today.

"Because I was only twenty-two back then, and don't twenty-two-year-olds tend to say those arrogant, fearless things?" The Qingcheng Pavilion Master laughed. "But now I'm almost thirty, and thirty is already the age to be called uncle."

——So you put your hopes on Qin Zhen?

"Isn't it normal for an uncle to take care of outstanding juniors? Just like that stubborn old man in Yanzhou City, who took in a lot of apprentices like raising elves."

——This sentence is not very auspicious. I went to Yanzhou some time ago, and none of the students of the Starfire Pavilion Master were better than him.

"Qin Zhen's talent is far superior to that old man's student." Gu Changfeng said, "In reality, this is your fault. Since Mount Siguniang is at risk of becoming a battlefield, why did you bring Qin Zhen up there? Wouldn't it be better to leave him in Jinguan City?"

The hat swayed slowly from side to side, and the giant bear held the pen and gently poked the paper with the tip of the pen.

——Before taking Qin Zhen up the mountain, I hid and observed him for a while.

"Really? And what's the result?"

——He is a natural fighter. Now that he knows your whereabouts, he will never give up. Instead of letting him climb this mountain without knowing anything, it is better for me to take him up the mountain myself. If there is any unusual change, I can take care of him.

"You also have the heart of an uncle who cares for the younger generation." The Qingcheng Pavilion Master said with a sigh.

——Yes, in terms of strength, I have been in my prime for a long time, so I am also an uncle.

The atmosphere gradually became harmonious. The bear uncle and the human uncle sat side by side, talking about gossip about their respected juniors and colleagues. The sound of writing and low voices of talking alternated. If it weren't for the wrong time and place, the two might each pick up a bottle of beer and bump into each other with a smile.

At this moment, the conversation of the uncles was interrupted by the sudden spatial ripples that unfolded in front of them. A white figure rushed out from it with a look of panic on her face.

"Gardevoir? What happened?" Gu Changfeng was stunned, and his left eye instantly turned into a gorgeous pomegranate color.

"Nai! Nai!"

The giant bear stood up suddenly, and the Qingcheng Pavilion Master's face changed drastically.

At that moment, they received the same message from Gardevoir through different means.

——Qin Zhen disappeared.
