Lao Tzu is Ji Gong

Moreover, since Hongjun Daoist has already made his future path clear to him, the most important thing for him now is to cultivate the spiritual power within his body.

This requires a very long process, which is unavoidable, so Li Xiu was determined to make a name for himself in this place.

Otherwise, it would be too unworthy of him as a time traveler.

It was only after arriving at Wuzhuang Temple that Li Xiu had a vague feeling of having once lived in the world.

After all, when he first arrived in the prehistoric world, although his strength was very low, the opportunities he encountered were all top-notch, which had already given him a top-notch start.

It would be such a waste to have such a perfect start if I didn't get a big win.

After the doorman left, Li Xiu and Li Duotian swaggered into their relatively secluded little house.

But the little doorman was right; Zhen Yuanzi was indeed under tremendous pressure to place these two people among them.

What Li Xiu didn't know was that without Hongjun Daoist's words, the two of them wouldn't have been qualified to enter the Wuzhuang Temple at all.

Chapter 1446 The outcome is determined by wins and losses

Because Wuzhuang Temple is so famous, almost everyone in the surrounding area, or rather, the surrounding area, who knows about it, will choose to send the most talented disciples from their sect or family to Wuzhuang Temple.

I don't know why, but Zhen Yuanzi's ginseng fruit alone might not be that attractive.

But those who emerged from the Wuzhuang Temple were all pillars of society.

Furthermore, if the guy who emerged had also eaten the ginseng fruit, then his strength would definitely make him a grandmaster in the future.

This rumor, which seemed like a curse, caused everyone to scramble to get their best disciples into Wuzhuang Temple to cultivate.

The good news is that Zhen Yuanzi is also accepting many disciples. No matter where you come from, as long as you are strong enough, he will allow you to come here to cultivate.

Therefore, many problems still await Li Xiu.

And now, Zhen Yuanzi is receiving someone who appears to be the head of a powerful family.

The head of the family actually looked very bad. Although he didn't dare to lose his temper with Zhen Yuanzi, he still had to vent his frustrations.

The two people sitting next to him looked like twins, and the head of the family said to Zhen Yuanzi, "Brother Zhen Yuanzi, you shouldn't have done that."

“Our family has been cooperating with you for hundreds of years, if not thousands, but why are you going back on your word this time?”

"Didn't we agree that the last two spots would be reserved for our family?"

Zhen Yuanzi replied, “There are always special circumstances, and for so many years, haven’t I always strictly adhered to my own rules?”

"Your family manages to find an opportunity to send one or two people to Wuzhuang Temple to study every time, right?"

"You should also be understanding of me and let me have some peace of mind, or rather, let your family suffer a loss."

The clan patriarch remained, refusing to leave, and addressed Zhen Yuanzi, saying, "No, this time we must get an explanation."

"Moreover, my two disciples are among the most talented in our family in recent years, and even the two strongest disciples in the last hundred years. If you just kick us out like that, I really can't swallow this insult."

"If those two guys are really stronger than my two disciples, I can understand why your Wuzhuang Temple wants to accept stronger talents."

"If two good-for-nothings got in through connections and backdoors, I would never accept that."

"Moreover, the reason why your Wuzhuang Temple, led by Zhen Yuanzi, has been so famous for so long is precisely because it subdues the principle of 'might makes right'."

"So I think you won't refuse this request, right?"

Zhen Yuanzi nodded when he heard the family say that. He had already given Hongjun Daoist face, and now he would have to see how strong those two guys really were.

If his strength was truly so easily defeated, then even if he wanted to give face to Hongjun Daoist, he wouldn't be able to.

He said, "Then let's do this. I'll call those two guys over, and you two can have a match here. Whoever wins stays here."

"Now you have no objections, right?"

The head of the family, hearing that he had finally secured a chance, hurriedly nodded and said, "No objections, no objections. I just hope that if my two disciples win later, Zhen Yuanzi, you won't go back on your word."

Chapter 1447 The First Battle at Wuzhuang Temple

Zhen Yuanzi replied, "Don't worry, as long as your two little ones have the strength, my Zixiao Palace will be very happy to welcome them."

"That's good. Then we'll wait here for good news."

The two disciples were grateful to the clan leader, who had gone to great lengths to persuade them.

When it's time to make a move, I must give it my all to win this battle.

On the other side, after Zhen Yuanzi reached an agreement with that guy, he personally went to invite Li Xiu and Li Duotian.

This was also the first time the two of them had a direct encounter with Zhen Yuanzi.

To be honest, Zhen Yuanzi's actions this time certainly gave Li Xiu and Li Duotian a lot of face.

He only comes to Wuzhuang Temple to give lectures when he is teaching, imparting knowledge, and resolving doubts.

This time, because of a small battle, he personally came to invite people, a kind of treatment that none of the disciples had ever experienced before.

Meanwhile, inside the Zixiao Palace, the other disciples who were meditating or contemplating with their doors open saw Zhen Yuanzi walking towards them and came out of their rooms to bow to him.

However, they did not dare to stop them. Obviously, he did not know what they were going to do. If he went up rashly, it would leave a bad impression on Zhen Yuanzi.

Although Li Xiu and Li Duotian's two small, dilapidated houses were quite far from where Zhen Yuanzi was, they arrived very quickly because Zhen Yuanzi was in such a hurry to get back.

Just as Li Xiu and Li Duotian finished tidying up the house and were getting familiar with the surroundings, Zhen Yuanzi came to visit.

Li Xiu's expression turned very unpleasant when he saw that this guy had entered the house without even knocking.

After all, you've just arrived here and are already being bothered by one inexplicable thing after another. It would be a complete fantasy if you could feel any better right now.

Li Xiu also spoke with a fiery tone, "Who is it? So rude, barging in without even knocking."

Zhen Yuanzi then realized that he might have been a bit too hasty, and said, "Ah, I'm sorry, I have something urgent to discuss with you."

Are you available now?

"I asked you why you didn't knock," Li Xiu said, still furious, unaware that the person in front of him was actually Zhen Yuanzi.

Zhen Yuanzi also found this little guy quite interesting. He wondered, "If you knew my true identity, would your attitude change?"

Then Zhen Yuanzi said, "I am the master of this place, Zhen Yuanzi."

Hearing what Zhen Yuanzi said, Li Xiu was somewhat stunned.

However, he also knew that if he immediately put on a defeated expression, his impression of him would plummet.

He had to show respect to Zhen Yuanzi without losing face.

Li Xiu then remarked, "So it's Zhen Yuanzi! Seeing is believing, indeed."

"I never expected that Brother Zhen Yuanzi would not only look so young, but also behave so differently from ordinary people. No wonder he is so highly regarded by Daoist Hongjun."

Li Xiu's words resolved the awkwardness between the two and also flattered Zhen Yuanzi.

Zhen Yuanzi was very satisfied with the answer and nodded, saying, "You lad are indeed worthy of Hongjun Daoist's special recommendation. I just don't know how strong you are."

Chapter 1448 Enemies meeting are filled with intense hatred

"I came here specifically for this matter."

"Could it be that the two guys who used to live in this house want to come and challenge us?"

"Hmm, it seems you're not stupid after all, able to deduce what's going to happen next from those subtle clues."

"That's perfect, I don't need to explain anymore. Are you two ready?"

"If possible, it's best to start right away, so those guys don't keep bothering me where I live. It's really annoying."

Hearing Zhen Yuanzi say this, Li Xiu quickly replied, "It's alright, let's go now, just lead the way."

Li Xiu agreed so readily in order to leave a good impression on Hongzhen Yuanzi.

Zhen Yuanzi hates it when others waste his time, so the two of them need to resolve this battle as soon as possible.

Not only must you go to fight immediately, but you must also win the battle in a very decisive and efficient way. Only then can you pass Zhen Yuanzi's first test.

At this moment, the head of the Zhang family was still in Zhen Yuanzi's room, waiting anxiously.

He was worried too, that Zhen Yuanzi would leave and not come back, leaving them disappointed.

After all, if Zhen Yuanzi really did that, they wouldn't be able to stay here any longer.

Besides, he also has to follow the rules; he has already fought for these two disciples.

Even if Zhen Yuanzi is truly determined to stand his ground, they will have no choice but to slink away.

However, before the Zhang family patriarch could even begin to feel uneasy, Zhen Yuanzi returned.

Upon seeing this, the head of the family said with slight surprise, "Zhen Yuanzi, you're back so soon. Did those two refuse?"

Zhen Yuanzi replied, "You're overthinking it. Let your two disciples come out and have a fight right here in the courtyard."

"Hurry up and finish the fight, whoever stays or leaves, don't disturb this old man's rest time."

The head of the family apologized, saying, "We were too hasty this time. You two, come out and fight your opponents."

"Yes." The two guys, also eager to get started, came out of the house.

These two guys are the Zhang family's geniuses of the century. One is named Zhang Tianchen, and the other is Zhang Hanhai. The two brothers are twins.

Moreover, the cultivation techniques they practice are mutually supportive, which is why the Zhang family went to such great lengths to find a house for the two of them that they could live in close proximity.

Having finally found a suitable place in Wuzhuang Temple and about to enter to study, they were robbed of their property.

It's easy to imagine how much the Zhang family hated Li Xiu and Li Duotian.
