Although the small iron ball was spinning rapidly, it only reached a certain speed at most, and it didn't even have the power of a bullet fired from a homemade gun.

"Damn it, the power is too weak. My cultivation level is still not high enough. After all, I've only just obtained Qi. If I could really use this little bit of true Qi to create an electromagnetic cannon, wouldn't I become a terrestrial immortal?"

A hint of frustration flashed across Chen Yuan's face.

It still didn't work.

His cultivation level is still not high enough.

It seems he still needs to work harder.

"Forget it, haste makes waste. I'm still young, at the age where I should be striving. There's no need to rush. I just don't know what the purpose of Master Zuo's visit to my house is."

"Could it be to arrest Wang Yaozu? That's unlikely. Master Zuo gave Wang Yaozu three chances. Besides, while Old Man Wang isn't a good person, he's at most a petty thief. It's not like Master Zuo would actually take action against him. It's probably for something else."

Chen Yuan couldn't help but be curious.

However, we are currently in a period of great upheaval, and his personal fate will likely be swept away by this tide.

In order to protect himself and his family, he also needs to work hard in his spiritual practice.

He decided to first master the control of the dozen or so iron balls before thinking about anything else.

Inside Jishetang.

"Master Niu, my daughter will be sent to Jishetang in a day to learn from you. But she's been naughty since she was little, and I'm having a bit of a headache with her now. Please take good care of her then!"

A stern-looking middle-aged man wearing frameless glasses said to Master Niu.

He is Duanmu Ying's father.

"Duanmu, Yingzi is only five years old. You're letting her study? Aren't you afraid she'll get tired? But it's fine, she can study with Zizhong and the others."

Master Niu gave a wry smile.

It seems that only the Duanmu lineage remains in this generation of the Duanmu family, and Yingzi is the old man's only daughter.

“Weren’t we the same before? It’s just that times have changed, and we old fogies are a bit out of place now.”

Duanmu Xiong snorted.

"That's good. That girl seems clever and quick-witted, and she's also a good candidate for Qi cultivation. She'll inherit the medical skills of the Duanmu family, and at the same time, she can learn the medical skills of our Jishetang. I estimate she'll have a great future!"

Master Niu thought for a moment and then said.

The next day, at the school.

Chen Yuan sat in the back, looking at Mr. Xu who was lecturing on the podium. He realized that Mr. Xu had not noticed him, so he quietly got up.

"Yuan-ge, where are you going? Skipping class again? Aren't you afraid Mr. Xu will punish you with a ruler?"

The chubby boy was holding an oil paper package containing several steaming hot xiaolongbao (soup dumplings).

The outer skin is crystal clear and as thin as a cicada's wing, through which you can vaguely see the tender meat filling and broth inside.

One bite and your mouth is filled with juicy goodness; it tastes so delicious.

"If you don't say anything, everything will be fine. Don't worry, I'm leaving now. Just don't say anything."

Chen Yuan waved his hand, ignoring the chubby boy's attempts to dissuade him, and climbed out the window to leave.

Near Lingyin Temple.

"Hehe, Old Wang, that kid isn't not coming, is he?"

Yuan Jingui stood beside Bixi Bridge and said sarcastically.

That kid may seem clever, but he's too clever.

"Hmph, young friend, you're not that kind of person."

Wang Yaozu snorted coldly.

Although Chen Yuan was unruly and a bit mischievous, he felt that the boy was definitely a person of his word.

"It's hard to say. What if the child changes his mind? We are Quanxing, after all. This child must have come into contact with other people and know what the term 'Quanxing' means."

The girl in the blue headscarf chuckled.

"Yes, that's true. You can know a person's face but not their heart."

The young man in the glasses and suit nodded.

"I think that kid will come. I'll sit at the same table as Old Wang."

The evil immortal chuckled and fiddled with a few copper coins.

"Gentlemen, are you going to bet on this kid?"

Suddenly, Chen Yuan appeared and walked over from the other side of the bridge. He was obviously coming.

He hasn't even mastered the art of turning things upside down yet.

"Young friend, you've arrived?"

When Old Man Wang saw Chen Yuan, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

After what Yuan Jingui and his group said, he was genuinely worried that the kid wouldn't come.

“Old Wang, although I am still young, a promise is a promise. Now that I have become your disciple, I will naturally learn all of these skills.”

Chen Yuan smiled.

"I knew this kid would come."

The evil immortal waved the whisk in his hand.

"You are all friends of Elder Wang, right? Since I am Elder Wang's successor, shouldn't you all give me a gift? After all, you are his elders!"

Chen Yuan smiled slightly and then extended his small hand.

"Huh!?"

Upon hearing this, Yuan Jingui and the others were also taken aback.

Good guy.

This kid's skin is really thick; he's even more shameless than those Quanxing members.

"Even if you don't give me a gift, you should at least teach me some skills, right, Old Wang?"

Chen Yuan's eyes darted around, and he immediately revealed his true purpose.

He was very curious about the methods these guys used, after all, Old Man Wang also acknowledged that these guys must have some real skills.

Chapter 23 Spirit Official's Finger

"Xiao Yuan, you lot should give this old man face, right?"

Wang Yaozu also narrowed his eyes and suddenly looked at Yuan Jingui and the others.

He has a pretty good relationship with several people.

Although he could see through Chen Yuan's little scheme, he felt that he wasn't wrong. These four people were Chen Yuan's elders, so it was necessary to bleed them a little.

"Mr. Wang, of course we'll give you face, but..."

Yuan Jingui gave a dry laugh.

His nickname "Long-Called Wild Dried Man" was given out specifically to swindle people, and now he was being asked to give a favor to this sly little fellow, which really annoyed him.

"Uncle Yuan, what about my gift? I'm not picky. Whether it's a technique like the 'Splitting Palm' or a magical artifact, I'll accept it all!"

Chen Yuan made an outrageous demand.

Yuan Jingui and the others were dumbfounded.

This kid has no shame.

They've even mentioned the ritual implements.

"Old Wang, I am a Beast Master. Even if I wanted to pass on my skills to this little guy, I probably couldn't, since it depends on his talent. In that case, I'll just give this little guy a copy of the 'Spirit Official's Finger' manual."

A few months ago, my little tabby cat, Wuyuan, found this at an old Taoist temple. I gave it to the little guy.

A hint of frustration flashed in the eyes of the girl with the blue headscarf; it was the first time she had ever been tricked.

He took out a tattered blue book from his pocket, on which were written the three characters "Lingguan Zhi" in traditional Chinese characters!

"The Spirit Official Finger? That's the cultivation method of that bastard Ding Shian, one of the two heroes. This thing is interesting, and it's even a Taoist technique!"

Chen Yuan narrowed his eyes and immediately showed a look of joy.

Lingguan is the most revered guardian deity in Taoism. Taoism has a saying of five hundred Lingguan. Among them, the most famous is "Wang Lingguan," who is often the guardian deity in the first main hall of many Taoist temples, protecting the temple's entrance.

He remembered that the Spirit Officer's Finger could enhance the power of spells, which was a good thing for him.

However, he couldn't help but be somewhat surprised by the girl's superpower.

Animal masters communicate with and control animals through their own Qi. The difficulty of communicating with animals is directly proportional to their intelligence, and they cannot communicate with primates.

Therefore, the effort required for communication is inversely proportional to intelligence.

High-level beast masters, such as Lao Meng, one of the seven temporary workers of the All-Tong Company, are able to break through conventional limitations and communicate with prokaryotes, such as bacteria. As long as the target body comes into contact with the special Qi emitted by him, he can control the increase, decrease and mutation of bacteria in the target's body, and calls himself a biologist.

The girl in front of me is probably contracted with a cat. After all, "tanuki" is a name for a cat, and "wuyuan" means black cat. So, is the girl with the blue headscarf contracted with a black cat?

That's interesting.

Moreover, cats are very intelligent primates, so the difficulty of forming a contract is probably very high, which shows that this girl's beast-master skills must be quite high.

"Thank you so much, sister! I will definitely practice this finger technique diligently!"

Chen Yuan chuckled, took the book "The Guide to Spirit Officials," and then looked intently at the other three.

These three guys haven't bled yet.

He certainly couldn't let it go easily.

"This kid is even more cunning than me. I have no choice but to bleed. When I was refining the Nine Dragon Seeds, I accidentally ruined one of Baxia's Nine Dragon Seeds. This thing only has half the power and is quite troublesome to control. It's perfect for this kid."

Yuan Jingui felt somewhat annoyed when he saw Chen Yuan's gaze.

When has he ever suffered such a loss?

He's usually the one playing pranks on others; this is the first time he's been tricked like this.
