This celestial master cultivates both physical and magical arts; why did you provoke him?

The Maoshan sect has been in a lot of turmoil lately.

The incident stemmed from the video of Li Daochun scolding Xia En.

Although he set the video to private, the internet has a memory.

It had already been recorded and saved, and was circulating wildly in various Taoist circles.

In the end, the version became "An elder of the Maoshan Sect publicly questioned the lineage of the Tianshi Mansion of Longhu Mountain", and the nature of the statement escalated from personal remarks to a sectarian dispute.

The leader of the Maoshan Sect is named Li Daoming, who is Li Daochun's senior brother. He is over seventy years old, with gray hair, and looks like a kind old grandfather.

But at this moment, the kind old man is furious.

"Are you out of your mind?"

Li Daoming slammed his phone on the table, a corner of the screen shattering. "Who did you have to insult? You had to insult Xia En? Don't you know who he is?"

Li Daochun huddled in the chair, his face pale.

"Senior brother, I just... I just can't stand his methods. His lightning magic isn't real lightning magic, his fist techniques aren't real fist techniques, and he uses over a hundred talismans at once—isn't that a waste?"

"Wasting things?"

Li Daoming was so angry his beard was trembling. "They used over a hundred talismans to seal the ancient demon king! What can you seal with three talismans? Can you seal your house rats?"

Li Daochun remained silent.

"Furthermore, do you even know what Xia En's current status is?"

Li Daoming took a deep breath. "He was just granted the Celestial Master's Ordination; he's the 67th Celestial Master of the Longhu Mountain Celestial Master's Mansion. By insulting him, you're insulting the entire Longhu Mountain. Do you want to create enmity between Maoshan and Longhu Mountain?"

Li Daochun's face turned even paler.

"Senior brother, I... I didn't think that much about it."

"Didn't think that much about it? You're an elder! Your words represent Maoshan! You're telling me you didn't think that much about it?"

Li Daoming pointed to the door and said, "Go, go to Longhu Mountain, apologize to Zhang Tianshi, apologize to Xia Tianshi. Be sincere and formal."

Li Daochun stood up, head bowed. "Yes."

He walked out of the room, and Li Daoming sat in a chair, rubbing his temples.

The disciple beside him asked cautiously:

"Master, is my uncle... really going to Longhu Mountain to apologize?"

"Otherwise what?"

Li Daoming sighed. "You can't afford to offend Xia En. He even dared to kill a protector of the Evil Spirit Cult, why would he care about a Maoshan elder like you? He's not taking action because he's giving Maoshan face. But face has its limits, and he can't keep refusing to give it to you forever."

The disciple fell silent.

Li Daoming looked out the window and muttered to himself.

"The great waves of the times have passed, and it's clear who was swimming naked. Maoshan has been too complacent these past few years. So complacent that they thought they were still the number one Taoist sect."

"But Xia En's appearance made everyone realize that Longhu Mountain is the true ancestral home of Taoism."

When the news reached Qingcheng Mountain, the female Taoist priest with the ponytail was practicing her sword.

After listening to her junior brother's report, she put away her sword and wiped her sweat.

"Did Li Daochun chicken out?"

"He chickened out. I heard he's going to Longhu Mountain to apologize."

The female Taoist priest smiled.

"He should have chickened out a long time ago. Insulting Xia En? Does he even deserve it? Xia En can smash the Zombie King with one punch, what can he smash with one punch? His own phone screen?"

The junior brother's lips twitched as he said:

"Senior sister, can you please not be so harsh?"

"Harsh? Hah!!"

The female Taoist priest sheathed her sword. "I'm telling the truth. In this era, strength speaks. If you have strength, you have a voice. If you don't have strength, you're like someone swimming naked. Li Daochun thought he was dressed, but he's already been seen naked."

The junior apprentice was speechless.

When the news reached Wudang Mountain, the white-haired old Taoist priest was practicing Tai Chi.

Click to begin your wondrous journey in "This Celestial Master Cultivates Both Material and Magical Arts, Why Did You Provoke Him?"

After listening to his disciple's report, he stopped and looked at the distant mountain peaks.

"Is Li Daochun going to Longhu Mountain to apologize?"

"Yes."

The old Taoist priest paused for a moment, then smiled.

"Alright. Let him go and see what a real Celestial Master looks like."

He started practicing Tai Chi again, his movements slow, but each move contained profound power.

"The great wave of the times has passed, and it's clear who was swimming naked. That's a very good saying."

Three days later, at the Celestial Master's Mansion on Longhu Mountain.

Li Daochun stood at the mountain gate, holding a box of tea in his hand.

It's Da Hong Pao from Wuyi Mountain, which is said to cost over 100,000 yuan per kilogram.

He was wearing a brand-new Taoist robe, his hair was neatly combed, his expression was serious, and there was a hint of tension in his eyes.

Zhang Jingqing came out to greet him, her smile very polite. "Master Li, please."

Li Daochun followed Zhang Jingqing into the Celestial Master's Mansion, passing through the front hall and the middle hall, and arriving at the rear hall.

Zhang Jingxuan sat in a grand chair with a cup of hot tea in front of her.

Xia En sat next to him, a lollipop in her mouth, looking no different from usual.

Li Daochun paused for a moment when he saw Xia En.

He took a deep breath, walked up to Zhang Jingxuan, and bowed deeply.

"Master Zhang, I am Li Daochun, and I have come to apologize."

Zhang Jingxuan looked at him without saying a word.

Li Daochun straightened up, took the box of tea from the disciple beside him, and presented it with both hands.

"This is a small token of my appreciation; please accept it, Celestial Master Zhang."

Zhang Jingxuan glanced at the box of tea but did not take it.

"Master Li, the person you should apologize to is not me."

Li Daochun's expression changed slightly. He turned around and looked at Xia En.

Xia En sat in the chair, a lollipop in his mouth, his expression calm, but his eyes...

The first time Li Daochun saw Xia En's eyes up close, they were bright and calm.

However, beneath the calm surface lurked something that sent chills down his spine.

He took a deep breath, walked up to Xia En, and bowed deeply.

"Master Xia Tian, ​​I made many inappropriate remarks online before, which offended you and Longhu Mountain. I hereby sincerely apologize."

Xia En took the lollipop out of her mouth and looked at Li Daochun.

"Master Li, whether you apologize or not is actually irrelevant."

Li Daochun was stunned.

"Because I didn't take what you said to heart at all."

Shane put the lollipop back in his mouth. "But you did say one thing right."

"What did you say?"

"You say my thunder magic is unorthodox, my fist techniques are unorthodox, and my talismans are a waste of materials. You're right about all of that."

Li Daochun opened his mouth, unable to speak.

"but,"

Xia En stood up and walked to Li Daochun. "Whether it's unorthodox methods, unorthodox techniques, or wasting materials, as long as you win, that's fine. I defeated the Evil Spirit Cult, I defeated the Zombie King, I defeated the Ancient Demon King. What have you ever defeated?"

Li Daochun's face turned pale.

"You've won against the keyboard."

Xia En laughed. "You're really good at swearing online. But besides swearing, what else can you do?"

Li Daochun's lips were trembling.

"Master Li, times have changed."

Xia En patted him on the shoulder. "In the past, the Taoist sect relied on seniority, seniority, and smooth talk. Now, the Taoist sect relies on strength. If you have strength, you are a Celestial Master. If you don't have strength, you're the one swimming naked."

He turned around and walked back to his chair to sit down.

"Leave the tea leaves; you may leave now."
