Xiuxian: I use magnetic fields to prove my truth

Chapter 362 Old Friend

As soon as the two finished their performance, the crowd immediately rushed to greet them.

"Senior brother, the metal element spell you just demonstrated is different from what we learned before. It looks like the same spell, but it is more exquisite. Not only is it more powerful, but it is also more flexible and unpredictable to control."

everyone asked.

The senior brother laughed and said, "What you have learned before is mostly peripheral details. What I am about to demonstrate is the orthodox and comprehensive knowledge."

"You don't need to be impatient. My junior sister and I will teach you everything slowly."

"Thank you, senior brother!"

"Thank you, senior sister!"

The young cultivators watching all exclaimed in delight, "No wonder everyone says that Central Continent is the cradle of immortal sects. We were truly ignorant before!"

"I wonder when we will be able to enter the path of magic like our senior brothers and sisters."

The senior student just smiled and didn't say anything.

The senior sister said seriously, "You should not underestimate yourselves. Zhongzhou is known as the cradle of immortal sects, and it can be proud of itself compared to other neighboring continents."

“You don’t need to regard it as something sacred. You should know that the strongest genius in the history of Qionghua Continent came from the same background as you. Why do you look down on yourselves?”

The young cultivators all looked on with longing and said, "We've never seen that person before. We heard that you and your senior brothers saw him in person. Could you tell us what kind of person he is?"

"him?"

The senior female and male students seemed to be instantly pulled back to that thrilling experience by the question.

Their eyes became glazed over, as if they could see that towering figure walking gracefully toward them again.

This made the two of them feel a little dazed... um... no...

The two shook their heads vigorously and looked down the mountain path in shock, where a familiar figure was walking towards them.

It seems... it's not a hallucination!
"Junior Brother Xu, Junior Sister Liu, it's been a few years, but you two still look as charming as ever."

Zhou Qing smiled.

He sensed a familiar presence from afar, and when he got up there, it was indeed them.

These two are Liu Wen and Xu Hui, disciples of Gu Zhu Zi and Huang Long Zhenren, whom he met earlier at the Liuli Daoist Temple.

Since these two are here, this place must be the Laozi Temple in Guzhu.

Unexpectedly, I stumbled upon this place by accident.

I wonder why so many cultivators have gathered here. Could they all be fellow cultivators whom Gu Zhuzi and Huang Long met?

These two have some truly astonishing social skills.

Liu Wen and Xu Hui then realized it wasn't a hallucination; Zhou Qing had actually come here.

The two hurried forward and came to Zhou Qing. They wanted to say something, but suddenly became flustered and couldn't say anything.

For the two of them, Zhou Qing's aura was simply too strong; just seeing him in person would make them feel dizzy.

"Senior Brother Zhou... what brings you here?"

The two exclaimed in surprise.

Zhou Qing smiled and said, "I happened to be passing by and stopped to rest. I didn't expect it to be Fellow Daoist Guzhuzi's territory. Is your master inside?" Xu Hui and Liu Wen hurriedly replied, "Yes, he is. There are many other friends there as well. We'll go and inform them right away!"

With that, the two of them ran inside.

The other disciples had never seen their two senior brothers and sisters act so cautiously before, and couldn't help but ask curiously, "Senior brothers and sisters, who is this guest?"

Liu Wen's eyes sparkled as she said, "We were just talking about them, how come you don't recognize them in person?"

Only then did everyone realize Zhou Qing's identity. They all looked over with surprise and trepidation, saying, "Greetings, True Lord Tiantong!"

Zhou Qing nodded, glanced at them, and said, "Are you all cultivators who moved here from the Western Continent?"

Faced with Zhou Qing's question, everyone suddenly felt ashamed.

Their elders had chosen the Four Great Dao Palaces of the Central Continent over this person, which led to their current predicament.

Now, when they face this person again, they all feel at a loss for what to do.

The atmosphere became somewhat awkward for a moment, and after a long while someone replied, "Reporting to True Lord, we all migrated from the Western Continent."

Why are you here?

The older disciple among them said, "After we moved to the Central Continent, the four major Dao Palaces broke their contracts. We were forced to work as slaves in several Dao Palaces, suffering all kinds of bullying. In the end, we simply returned the spiritual veins of the Dao Palaces and started to make a living on our own."

"Although the Central Continent is vast, all the suitable places for cultivation have been divided up, leaving us with nowhere to settle down. We can only keep moving around and stopping."

"Finally, we arrived here, and Senior Guzhuzi and Senior Huanglong took us in, thus saving us from the suffering of wandering."

After the disciple finished speaking, the news reached Lao Jun Temple, and a large group of cultivators poured out.

At the very front were Gu Zhuzi and Huang Long, followed by some Golden Core cultivators from the Western Continent. Zhou Qing seemed to recognize a few of them, but since he wasn't familiar with their auras, it meant that even if he had seen them before, he hadn't had any close relationships with them.

"Greetings, True Lord Tiantong!"

The crowd shouted in unison, their voices tinged with a mixture of shame and an indescribable anticipation.

Zhou Qing cupped his hands in return, and said with a smile, "Fellow Daoist Guzhuzi, Fellow Daoist Huanglong, how did you two manage to gather so many overseas Chinese from Western Antarctica?"

Huang Long said, "Back in the Liuli Dao Temple, the True Lord took great care of us. These fellow Daoists are all from the True Lord's hometown. How can we stand idly by?"

As he spoke, he smiled bitterly and said, "Anyway, in the eyes of our fellow cultivators in the Central Continent, we are already considered to be the True Lord's accomplices. Although they have not done anything to us because of the True Lord's majesty, we have already broken with the cultivation world of the Central Continent. These fellow cultivators are in the same boat as us, so they will naturally support us."

Zhou Qing remembered that Huanglong Zhenren was originally supposed to be the leader of another small sect. It seems that after the incident at Liuli Daochang, because he had traveled with Zhou Qing, the two of them were ostracized. Therefore, Huanglong Zhenren could not even return to his own sect and simply came to keep Guzhu Zi company.

Later, they also took in West Antarctic expatriates who were passing through the area.

Zhou Qing looked at the overseas Chinese from Western Antarctica and asked, "Where are the fellow Daoists from the Illusionary Love Sect?"

The Heavenly Mystery Sect Master, Wei Jing, said, "It is said that he was punished by the Qingxu Dao Palace and sent to the Demon Abyss for some reason. It has been half a year now, and I'm afraid he has already..."

Zhou Qing frowned, thinking that even with Xiang Lian's cultivation and the foundation of the Nascent Soul Daoist Temple, she could only stand guard outside the exit of the Demon Abyss.

The Illusionary Love Sect lacked the foundation of Fragrant Lotus, and the Demon Abyss in the Central Continent was far more expansive than that in the Western Continent. The people of the Illusionary Love Sect had been facing the Demon Abyss for half a year; how could anyone possibly have escaped unscathed?

Junior Sister Yun was previously worried about the elders of the Illusionary Love Sect, and upon hearing this news, she must be filled with grief.

Everyone cautiously observed Zhou Qing's expression. Seeing that he remained silent for a long time, they all exchanged glances with Wei Jing, signaling him to make a request to Zhou Qing on behalf of everyone.

Wei Jing knew this was everyone's last hope, so he suppressed his shame and said, "Heaven has mercy on us and allowed us to see the face of the True Lord. We beg the True Lord to have pity on us and take us back to the Western Continent."
