The demon monk in the second dimension

Seeing the smile on Rong Shan's face, Xia Zhi immediately became wary.

Since he came up the mountain, this senior brother has often amused him.

Every time he shows that smile, it means he has ill intentions.

Upon entering the main hall of the Celestial Master's Mansion, Xia Zhi saw two other people besides her master.

One was a middle-aged man dressed in a black robe, his face as gloomy as if someone owed him millions and hadn't paid it back, or had stolen his girlfriend.

The other was an old man in a white robe, with snow-white hair and beard joined together, and wearing crescent-shaped glasses.

"Master, I'm back."

Xia Zhi first bowed to Zhang Zhiwei, and then waited for him to introduce the two of them.

"Summer Solstice is back."

Zhang Zhiwei nodded and introduced him.

"These two are Dumbledore, Headmaster of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry in England, and Professor Snape."

Dumbledore and Snape?

Xia Zhi had a guess as soon as she saw the two of them.

After all, these two were old friends of the Celestial Master at the Luo Tian Grand Ceremony more than ten years later.

Xia Zhi bowed steadily to the two of them, not knowing what they had come for.

"Headmaster Dumbledore, Professor Snape."

Speaking in somewhat awkward but fairly fluent Chinese, Dumbledore said to Xia Zhi.

"Hello, Mr. Xia Zhi. I came to Longhu Mountain this time to invite you to study magic at our Hogwarts School, and also to compare the similarities and differences between magic and Qi."

"Learn magic?"

Xia Zhi was taken aback, then immediately made a guess.

But he didn't say it aloud. Instead, he looked at Zhang Zhiwei beside him and spoke.

"Master, why me? I've only learned the Golden Light Mantra, and my cultivation is still very shallow. If it's about exchanging and learning, wouldn't the other senior brothers be more suitable?"

Xia Zhi thought there was some deeper meaning behind this, but Zhang Zhiwei winked at her and teased her.

"Because you're the only one of the right age in the entire Longhu Mountain. We can't possibly let your senior brother Rongshan learn magic from a bunch of kids, can we?"

Hearing his master say this, Xia Zhi's eyes lit up and he nodded.

"You can have this."

Upon hearing that he would have to go to school with a group of eleven or twelve-year-old children, Rong Shan shook his head frantically and ran out the door in a flash.

"Master, junior brother, this really won't do! I'm going to practice!"

"hehe."

Zhang Zhiwei and Xia Zhi exchanged a smile, both knowing that they were deliberately teasing Rong Shan.

Soon, Zhang Zhiwei revealed the real reason why he sent Xia Zhi to Hogwarts to learn magic.

"Actually, eleven years ago, a British auction house was auctioning Zhang Lu Tianshi's paintings. I happened to be free at the time, so I went to participate in the auction."

Upon hearing this, Xia Zhi blinked.

"Master, where's the painting?"

He spent ten years at the Celestial Master's Mansion, even visiting the place on the back mountain where he worshipped the various ancestral masters. He doesn't remember there being any paintings of Zhang Lu, the Celestial Master, in the Celestial Master's Mansion.

Zhang Zhiwei glanced at Xia Zhi with a calm expression.

“I, your master, didn’t have the money to buy it, so it was bought by other buyers from China.”

Summer Solstice: (*￣︶￣)

Knowing that his master was a bit petty, he immediately fell silent.

"It was also in England that I found you abandoned near the airport. Then I saw the words 'Summer Solstice' written on the swaddling clothes wrapped around you, and guessed that you were a descendant of the Chinese people. So I brought you back and took you as my disciple."

"And Headmaster Dumbledore said that you possess magic within you, which is what we call a born superhuman. Because you were born in England, your name and home address were on their new student roster from the age of eleven."

"When he saw that the location was actually at the Celestial Master's Mansion on Longhu Mountain, he came all this way to personally invite you to enroll."

Headmaster Dumbledore smiled and nodded, indicating that things were exactly as the old master had described.

Zhang Zhiwei took a sip of tea and continued.

"Although you have learned Qi, it is not impossible for you to learn magic as well."

Summer Solstice asked again at this time.

"Are Qi and magic interconnected? So, Senior Brother Rongshan can also learn magic?"

But Zhang Zhiwei gently shook his head.

“I just discussed it with Headmaster Dumbledore and found that Qi and magic are two different things.”

Summer Solstice: →_→

Although he didn't say anything, the expression on his face was one of utter confusion, as if to say, "Master, why are you making me learn magic?"

Zhang Zhiwei, however, said with a smile.

"Others can't, but you can."

Chapter 266 Teaching Thunder Magic

"You are the legendary Body of All Laws, theoretically speaking, you can learn any kind of magic or technique. Others cannot confuse Qi with magic power, but you can."

Zhang Zhiwei said this first, and then added.

"If it really doesn't work out, then come back. Headmaster Dumbledore and Professor Snape have come all this way, we can't let them go back empty-handed."

Since Zhang Zhiwei had already said so, Xia Zhi had no choice but to nod.

"Okay, Master, I understand."

In fact, Xia Zhi also knew that Qi and magic were two different things and could not be used interchangeably.

But what circulates within him is neither Qi nor magic, but a higher level of magical power.

As a child of the Blood God, Xia Zhi was in an infant state when she was thrown over by the main body.

His original goal was to spend seven years at Hogwarts, get his degree, and then move to the domestic world of supernatural beings.

Unexpectedly, they were encountered by the Old Celestial Master and taken directly to Longhu Mountain.

Now, Xia Zhi is studying the orthodox Taoist classic "Huang Ting Dao Jing" and has become a disciple of Longhu Mountain. He is definitely a righteous Taoist cultivator in this life!

Did you achieve your dream?

Dumbledore personally delivered the Hogwarts acceptance letter to Xia Zhi, and then spent a few days with Snape at Longhu Mountain, allowing the old master to fulfill his duties as host, before leaving on his flying broom.

Apparition cannot travel such a distance; not only is the magic power insufficient, but the body also cannot withstand it.

Soon, the entire Celestial Master's Mansion knew that Xia Zhi was leaving Longhu Mountain to study in England for seven years, exchanging and learning about foreign supernatural techniques.

"Is this what many people call the combination of Chinese and Western cultures? Junior Uncle, you need to work harder! Don't let the kids outside outdo you!"

"Junior brother, don't cause trouble when you're out there, but don't be afraid of trouble either! Longhu Mountain will back you up!"

"Junior Uncle, you can forget everything else, but remember to bring back some British specialties when you come back!"

Xia Zhi looked exasperated.

It's only mid-June. Hogwarts starts on September 1st, so he won't be able to travel to London, England until the end of August.

For the sake of British specialties, these fellow students couldn't wait for him to leave!

……

Xia Zhi had already graduated from elementary school. Zhang Zhiwei found a time to burn incense and pay homage to the ancestral master. With Tian Jinzhong as witness, he was formally accepted as a disciple and given the Taoist name "Lingfa".

From now on, others may refer to Xia Zhi as the Spiritual Dharma Master.

However, the Celestial Master's Mansion is more casual internally, and the old Celestial Master doesn't have any strict requirements; he still calls out "Summer Solstice, Summer Solstice" himself.

After confirming that Xia Zhi would be going to Hogwarts to study, Zhang Zhiwei called him to the place where his disciples usually practiced their martial arts.

"Come, let me see how well you've mastered the Golden Light Mantra."

"Yes, master."

Xia Zhi clasped his hands in a fist salute to Zhang Zhiwei, and then used the most widely known signature skill of Longhu Mountain.

"The profound origin of heaven and earth, the root of all energies, through extensive cultivation and great tribulations, I have proven my divine powers. Within and without the Three Realms, only the Dao is supreme. My body is enveloped in golden light!"

In an instant, a layer of golden light evenly covered Xia Zhi's body.

Although it was still daytime, the golden light emanating from Xia Zhi's body was extremely conspicuous, exceeding three inches in thickness.

Looking at the three-inch golden light spell on his own body, Rong Shan suddenly felt extremely ashamed and decided to work hard and cultivate diligently.

"Master, please forgive me!"

Xia Zhi apologized and raised both palms to attack the old celestial master.

"Hmph, you're too early to offend me!"

Similarly, a golden light emanated from Zhang Zhiwei.

However, compared to Xia Zhi, the golden light emanating from Zhang Zhiwei was a foot thicker, three times that of Xia Zhi.

This was only because Zhang Zhiwei deliberately reduced the power. Otherwise, if the golden light, several meters thick, were released, Xia Zhi wouldn't be able to break through it even if he stood there and attacked.

Halfway through Xia Zhi's charge, he suddenly transformed his palm into a sword in front of Zhang Zhiwei.

He transformed his index and middle fingers into a sword-like gesture, while the golden light in the rest of his body diminished, reducing its defensive capabilities.

But the golden light on the sword finger suddenly increased to a foot, like a short sword stabbing towards Zhang Zhiwei.

"Has the Golden Light Mantra already been able to produce changes?"

Zhang Zhiwei wore a smile, revealing a hint of satisfaction.

Seeing that Xia Zhi had actually mastered the basic transformations of the Golden Light Mantra, several of his fellow disciples were quite surprised.

Even the most talented disciples would need seven or eight years to achieve this, but Xia Zhi has halved the time!

However, this little trick is no match for Zhang Zhiwei.

He gently turned to the side, dodging Xia Zhi's attack, and at the same time struck Xia Zhi's right arm with a palm strike.

Xia Zhi pulled back his right arm and simultaneously raised his left leg, kicking towards Zhang Zhiwei's chest.

Zhang Zhiwei's right palm slashed down, blocking Xia Zhi's left leg with a snap.

The two golden light spells collided, and Xia Zhi felt an immense force coming from them, causing her to stagger back several steps before regaining her footing.

Xia Zhi knew that her Golden Light Mantra was inferior to Zhang Zhiwei's in both quality and power.

He simply began to compress the Golden Light Mantra, reducing its thickness, but improving its quality.

It should at least be able to break through this layer of defense, right?

Gradually, the light radiating from Xia Zhi's body, like a flashlight, began to condense and transform into flames, wrapping around his body.

Disciples of Zhang Zhiwei, such as Zhao Huanjin and Liang Fuguo, were once again taken aback.

"This is... a high-ranking official?"

Zhao Huanjin rubbed his eyes, his jaw nearly dropping in astonishment.

"Although he took a shortcut and can't be considered a proper high-ranking disciple, his talent is unheard of! Junior Brother is only eleven years old!"

Zhang Zhiwei also smiled.

"That's just right."

In Longhu Mountain, only highly skilled disciples who have mastered the Golden Light Mantra to perfection can inherit the Celestial Master's Mansion's true trump card—the Thunder Technique!

The ability to condense the originally scattered golden light into a flame-like shape is the most prominent characteristic of a high-level cultivator.

Xia Zhi originally wanted to continue fighting Zhang Zhiwei, but then she saw him dissipate the golden light around him and nod slightly to Xia Zhi.

"Okay, come with me."
