Zongman: Under One Person, join the chat group

The old celestial master stroked his beard, then turned to Zhang Lingyu, who was watching the battle, and asked a question.

"Yes, this senior brother's life force is extremely strong. Facing the extremely powerful Yang Five Thunder, he relied on his life force and cultivation to shatter it with a single slap!"

"I see from this that no matter how powerful the magic is, it is only an aid. One's own life is the foundation. To cultivate magic without cultivating one's life is to put the cart before the horse."

Zhang Lingyu had fought Zhang Chulan before, and he knew how difficult the other party was to deal with. Even if his master hadn't poisoned him, it would have taken him a lot of effort to win.

Seeing Qin Qi slap Zhang Chulan to the ground, he mentally replaced Zhang Chulan with himself.

Even when simulating a fight with Qin Qi, the final result was still being slapped to the ground!

"Lingyu, I think what you should learn from this battle is: 'If you can fight, fight; if you can't fight, then talk.'"

"If you want to beat him up, just beat him up. Don't let other things hold you back."

The old master shook his head. Zhang Lingyu was right, but it was just a standard answer, which pertained to cultivation rather than to one's state of mind.

Zhang Lingyu tilted his head. Didn't he understand what his master meant? Shouldn't cultivators be virtuous and free from desires, and not get angry?

But what Master is saying now seems to be telling him to take revenge if he has a grudge, and to beat him up if he doesn't like him?

Master's high moral standing certainly doesn't mean that; I must have misunderstood. Yes, it must be my own problem.

Zhang Lingyu thought to himself.

..................................................................

"Hahahaha, old Celestial Master, look at your grand-disciple lying on the ground now, it's really, really good."

Lu Jin couldn't help but burst into laughter when he saw Zhang Chulan lying on the ground. Back then, he had never beaten the Old Master and had been slapped to the ground.

But now, the other party's grand-disciple couldn't beat his granddaughter's uncle, and was slapped to the ground.

This is equivalent to slapping the old master to the ground with one hand. Well, the inequality is instantly destroyed!

"I think it's just so-so, not as good as you were back then, Lao Lu."

"Old Lu, why aren't you smiling? Are you just naturally averse to smiling?"

The old master smiled at Lu Jin, but Lu Jin could no longer smile; his entire face had turned a purplish-brown.

"Phew, this kid, old master, I told him before, don't take first place, don't take first place."

"It's not right to defeat your disciples and take first place at your Longhu Mountain Luotian Grand Ceremony."

"Although Quanzhen and Zhengyi are two sects, we ultimately worship the Three Pure Ones, so we are all one family."

"This is not good, it's really not good."

Although Fang Dongtian was saying it wasn't good, he couldn't hide the smug expression on his face.

The implication is that the new generation of Zhengyi has lost to the new generation of Quanzhen.

We don't want this first place, but your apprentice is too weak, so we have no choice but to accept it.

"Shut up, Lao Fang. Look at how smug you are now. A cultivator should not be elated or saddened by external gains. Your cultivation is still insufficient."

The old celestial master stopped laughing and spoke.

"Old Master, weren't you laughing happily just now? Why are you not laughing now? Are you just naturally not fond of laughing?"

At this moment, Lu Jin found an opportunity and immediately jumped out to make sarcastic remarks.

"Uncle Tian, ​​should I be leaving now?"

Watching his master and several senior figures arguing, Zhang Lingyu felt that he shouldn't be sitting on the ring right now.

He felt like he should be lying down under the ring right now; sitting here was putting him under so much pressure!

"It's okay, this is normal. If you feel uncomfortable, just cover your ears."

Tian Jinzhong watched the three arguing and secretly smiled.

........................................................................

"I lost! My two months' living expenses are gone! Waaaaah, you bad woman, Hua'er, we agreed to bet on A-Lian together."

"Why did you change your mind halfway through, and without even telling me? Waaaaaah!"

Lu Linglong lost again. She lost two months' worth of living expenses and also owed Zhi Jinhua a month's worth of living expenses.

"I didn't do it on purpose. After all, no one expected it to turn out this way. I only chose my senior uncle based on intuition."

"I didn't tell you because I was afraid you would follow my lead and then cry and make a scene if we lost money."

After calculating her earnings, Zhi Jinhua couldn't help but laugh; she had made a fortune this time.

"You naughty woman, why are you laughing so happily? How much did you make this time?"

Lu Linglong held the hibiscus flower's hand and asked very seriously.

"Not much, just the cost of a house, um, not much."

Hibiscus tried hard to suppress the upturned corners of her mouth, but she couldn't help but laugh whenever she thought about it.

"You bad woman, waaaaaah!"

Lu Linglong was devastated. She accepted that she had lost money; although she was very sad, she could accept it.

But when she heard that the hibiscus had earned enough money to buy a house, she simply couldn't control herself.

The worst thing is comparison; once you compare, the difference will seem enormous!

————————————————————————————————————————

Although we're not children anymore, I believe we still retain a childlike wonder, so happy Children's Day to everyone!

Chapter 44 My Uncle-Master is too wicked! He even deceives himself!

After the match ended, Qin Qi walked off the stage, and Zhang Chulan was carried off the stage, thus determining the winner between the two.

However, the awards ceremony will not be held until tomorrow. Even so, many people prepared to leave after the competition ended.

They came here to participate in the competition, and who wins or loses in the end, or who holds the position of Celestial Master, is of no concern to them.

........................................................................

After Qin Qi came out of the arena, he used the Great Five Elements Technique to escape down the mountain, bought some ice cream, and happily found Lu Linglong.

"Girl, you must have made a lot of money this time. Come on, have some ice cream."

Qin Qi handed a chocolate ice cream to Lu Linglong, and then gave one to Zhi Jinhua. This was the third time the two had officially met.

The hibiscus flower's fear of Qin Qi has lessened considerably; at least she no longer dares to even look up at him like she did at the beginning.

"Thank you, Uncle-Master. You seem very happy."

"It's nothing. Being number one is just an empty title. I don't care about it at all. We Quanzhen people value being low-key, low-key, and always low-key."

"Uncle-Master, did you just swear?"

"What swear words? I don't know, I didn't say them. Don't worry about it. Eat ice cream, eat ice cream."

Qin Qi was indeed happy, not only because he won first place, but also because he could go to the Longhu Mountain Sutra Pavilion to read books afterwards.

How could he not be happy? He wasn't the kind of Taoist who cultivated the path of ruthlessness; he was the kind of person who went with the flow.

Laugh when you're happy, cry when you're sad, get angry when you're upset—everything should be natural and there's no need to control it; let your mind be completely natural.

"Girl, why do you look so unhappy?"

Qin Qi looked at Lu Linglong, who was holding an ice cream but hadn't torn open the packaging yet. This didn't fit his impression of Lu Linglong.

In his mind, this silly girl should have happily eaten the ice cream, saying thank you, Uncle-Master, while showing a cute, innocent smile.

Why is this girl holding an ice cream for so long without eating it, and with her head down, looking like she's about to bury her face in a bear?

"No, it's nothing. I'm just not feeling well."

Lu Linglong's eyes darted away. How could she possibly admit that she had used two months' worth of living expenses to bet on A-Lian to win the match between her martial uncle and Zhang Chulan?

She may be a bit silly, but she's not that silly.

"Wait, you seem to be hiding something from me. Let me think."

"You silly girl, you didn't bet on Zhang Chulan to win, did you? Did a donkey kick your head? How could that kid possibly beat me?"

Looking at Lu Linglong's expression, Qin Qi instantly realized he had guessed correctly, and he showed an expression of disbelief.

Although I knew my junior apprentice was a bit silly, I never expected her to be this silly! Others don't know his strength.

Lu Linglong didn't know that Zhang Chulan was such a weakling, how could he possibly fight him?

"Uncle-Master, this is not my fault. It's all that wicked woman Hua'er's fault. She said that this Longhu Mountain Luotian Grand Ceremony was held for Zhang Chulan."

"Zhang Chulan will definitely be the final winner, that's why I bet on A-Lian to win."

Lu Linglong was also quite aggrieved. She had bet on Zhang Lingyu to win before, but Zhang Chulan was surprisingly upset. Now, she bet on Zhang Chulan to win, but her martial uncle was surprisingly upset.

She felt incredibly unlucky.

"Besides, when Grandmaster Uncle came, he said we shouldn't get first place, so I thought you would deliberately lose."

Lu Linglong added one last thing: this was the real reason she ultimately chose to bet on Zhang Chulan to win, back in the car.

She was in the front seat when Fang Dongtian started talking to Qin Qi, and she heard everything he said.

I thought I was just here for the fun of it, and that my uncle would definitely not win first place, but I never expected that my uncle and grand-uncle would team up to lie to me.

"Sigh, I was quite angry when I first heard about this. I've watched you grow up since you were little, and you don't believe me."

"But I'm not angry now, because this isn't your fault, well, it's not really your fault."

Qin Qi reached out and patted Lu Linglong's head. Yes, it's not her fault. It's just that this girl isn't very bright and took polite words seriously.

Fang Dongtian did say that we shouldn't take first place. They are Zhengyi, and we are Quanzhen. It wouldn't be good to deliberately take first place.

That was just talk. If we weren't aiming for first place, why would we bring him down the mountain to participate? It's all for the sake of first place.

Of course, you can't say that to outsiders. You have to be humble, humble, and damn humble. This first place was just a fluke.

Moreover, Qin Qi made a fortune back then during the game between Zhang Chulan and Zhang Lingyu. Well, let's not talk about that anymore; there's no need to bring up things related to betting odds.

Anyway, Lu Linglong was appeased and became very happy.

"Uncle-Master, you're the best! By the way, Uncle-Master, I won't have any pocket money next month, and the month after that. Could you lend me some?"

Lu Linglong happily stepped forward and hugged Qin Qi, then stared with her big, bright eyes and began to speak in a coquettish tone.

"Hmm, that's a problem. Let me think about it carefully. I'll give you an answer tomorrow."

"Here, these ice creams are all for you. I'm going now."

Qin Qi handed all the ice cream in his hand to Lu Linglong, then turned and left, not caring about the money.

He just needs to think about it. He'll definitely give it to him tomorrow, no doubt. He's not the kind of person who's greedy.

"Hey, Uncle bought so many kinds of ice cream this time! Hua Hua, come and pick whichever you like."

Lu Linglong quickly put her worries behind her and happily shared ice cream with her best friend.

"Hmm... well, never mind, let's not say anything, let's eat ice cream."

Zhi Jinhua and Lu Linglong sat side by side eating ice cream. She stopped thinking about the matter, since neither of them were decent people anyway.

..............................................................................

That evening, Qin Qi was summoned to the back door of the library by the old celestial master.

"You can look at whatever you want in here tonight, but you have to come out at dawn when the rooster crows. How much you learn in the end depends on yourself."

The old Taoist priest spoke.

"Don't worry, it will definitely come out before the rooster crows."

Qin Qi entered through the back door, then closed it. He looked around, stomped his foot, and all the books on the bookshelf flew up.

These books flew towards Qin Qi on their own, rapidly turning their pages as they circled him. Qin Qi could read ten lines, a hundred lines, a thousand lines at a glance!

He didn't seek to fully understand the meaning; he just wanted to memorize the content and then upload it to the chat group.

After that, he could slowly absorb and digest the knowledge. By the time he had finished reading all the books outside, the rooster had not yet crowed.

"Huh? There's a small secret room here, and the door is still open."

"The old master is very generous! He said he would learn as much as he could, but I thought he would hold back a little bit."
