boom!

Boom!

Boom boom boom!

In the small courtyard, it is raining.

Two figures, like ghosts, crisscrossed in the wind and rain.

Each strike was powerful and heavy, yet as fast as lightning and as nimble as a fox.

Within the confines of the small courtyard, the hunt continued relentlessly!

Like two mighty dragons tearing through the rain in their battle.

The relentless, cyclical attacks create a beautiful, almost picturesque illusion.

Every gesture and movement exudes a subtle charm, like a beautiful painting unfolding between heaven and earth.

But the thunderous roar of the explosions reminded them just how fierce and violent their attack truly was.

"I'm not fighting anymore!"

Suddenly, one of the figures darted out, looking utterly exasperated, and said, "How the hell did you train? Your internal energy cultivation is top-notch, and your external cultivation is divine! You're simply a fucking prodigy!"

Such a lively expression appeared on his usually stern face.

Who else could it be but Zhang He?

"Godfather, when did you get back?"

Bai Cang stopped reluctantly, still feeling somewhat unsatisfied.

It's rare to find such a good sparring partner (punching bag), but he said he couldn't do it after only a few moves.

That's really disappointing.

However, Bai Cang also knew that continuing the fight would not yield any results.

They were all taught by the same "master," so they can't counter any moves.

Both being top-tier masters, and both wielding the incredibly powerful Great Vajra Pestle, their fight was practically a copy-and-paste exercise; how could they possibly determine a winner?

Zhang He's advantage lies in his strong internal energy and rich combat experience.

Bai Cang, however, also had the advantage of the Ruyi Vajra Pestle as a weapon, and with the blessing of "ghost consciousness," he had a comprehensive and unobstructed grasp of the battlefield situation.

If it were a life-or-death battle, Zhang He would naturally have his own trump cards, and Bai Cang would also have the "Five Ghosts Secret Record" and a full set of poison skills. It is estimated that life and death could be decided in an instant.

However, even if this kind of sparring were to happen a hundred times, the result would not be any different.

"I just got back today. I heard that Blind Chen was causing trouble again, so I went and beat him up. Then I came straight here."

Zhang He said with a strange expression, "I didn't expect you to give me such a big surprise right from the start."

At that moment, Zhang He felt his entire worldview collapse!

This is absolutely outrageous, so outrageous that he can't even find the words to describe how outrageous it is.

How long did it take him to go from learning martial arts to becoming a first-rate master? A full ten years!

What Zhang He found even more incredible was that he had been a first-class practitioner for many years before he had recently mastered the "Great Vajra Pestle" to the point of "divine skill".

But what about Bai Cang? He's been practicing martial arts for less than three months and he's already almost caught up with what I've learned in twenty years!

I estimate that it won't be long before my only advantage in skill is caught up with, or even surpassed.

How could Zhang He not be shocked, horrified, and incredulous?

It won't be long before this kid surpasses me.

"Thanks to my godfather's excellent teaching; a good teacher produces a good student!"

Bai Cangxiao flattered him, feeling somewhat touched.

To be honest, he felt that he did indeed have a bit of an innate lucky body.

Since his transmigration, all the people he has befriended have been "good people".

Whether it's "Father Zhang" or "Master Sun," they are all genuinely looking out for you, and even "Brother Jiao" has a good personality.

In a place like Sanyin Temple, which is considered a monstrous place, the proportion of such "good people" is simply magical.

Admittedly, Bai Cang had never fully trusted anyone, and when he first met Zhang He, he was filled with suspicion and vigilance.

Even now, he still harbors some wariness towards Zhang He and even Sun Hongbo.

But at least for now, their kindness towards Bai Cang is truly impeccable.

"Don't give me that. I didn't teach you anything. You've earned it all on your own."

Zhang He, however, has a clear understanding of himself.

Upon hearing this, Bai Cang laughed and said, "If it weren't for my godfather's generous sponsorship, I wouldn't be where I am today."

"What sponsorship? Don't talk nonsense!" Zhang He's eyes widened. "That was a loan to you, it's all my money!"

Play around as you please, but don't joke around with real money.

"Yes, yes, I understand, there's no debt, no delays."

Bai Cang nodded repeatedly and asked, "Godfather, when will you be able to advance to the Innate Realm?"

Theoretically speaking, Zhang He, who has pushed the "Great Vajra Pestle" to a state of divine perfection and is already at the peak of the first-class level, is qualified to advance to the Innate Realm.

With only "Master Sun" as a reliable backer, Bai Cang always felt that it wasn't enough.

Especially recently, the Sanyin Temple has given people a sense of oppression, like "a storm is brewing."

Sun Hongbo's injuries had not yet healed, and he was too old to exert his peak combat power, which made Bai Cang's sense of insecurity even stronger.

If Zhang He can advance to the Innate Realm, it will be a great thing for Bai Cang.

"Do you think everyone is like you, a freakish monster?"

Upon hearing this, Zhang He grumbled and said, "I'm still far from having the merit to exchange for the Dao Entry Pill."

"Without the blessing of the Dao-Entering Pill, I would not dare to rashly attempt to break through the Xuan Guan Aperture."

"An Entry-Level Pill? Let me think of a way." Bai Cang said thoughtfully.

As the "young master" of the pharmacy, he still had some prestige.

It's just unclear whether strategic resources like the "Entering the Dao Pill" fall under the control of "Master Sun".

If all of these things fall into the hands of the Abbot's three female healers, then things will get complicated!

"Then I'll have to rely on you, the renowned little pharmacist!"

Zhang He was delighted to hear this, but felt even more uneasy inside.

Damn! The difference between people can sometimes be greater than the difference between a person and a dog.

In less than three months, this kid transformed from a vagrant into a top-notch expert.

Moreover, he also mastered the art of alchemy and became the only disciple of Sun Hongbo, the head of the medicine hall.

Its position in the Three Yin Contemplation is even far above its own.

Where the hell can we even get justice from this?!

Is this the difference between geniuses and ordinary people? It's truly despair-inducing!

Back then, I was also known for my outstanding talent. Who wasn't a child prodigy?

But compared to Bai Cang, Zhang He felt like he was a jaguar.

Comparing people is a recipe for disaster, comparing goods is a recipe for throwing them away—it's infuriating!

After saying that, Zhang He sighed and said, "The world is not peaceful these days!"

"It's not just Guobei County, the entire Yinshan Prefecture, and even the entire Taiyin Prefecture and the entire Xia Kingdom are in chaos."

"My business trip was originally to deal with a minor conflict with Majiazhai, but I found that it wasn't just Majiazhai; all sorts of monsters and demons have suddenly appeared, stirring up trouble openly or covertly."

"The peaceful days in the temple probably won't last much longer."

"You also need to be mentally prepared, and the most important thing is to protect yourself."

"Where there's life, there's hope. Never act impulsively. When it's time to back down, back down. When it's time to run, run."

"It's about saving your life, it's not shameful. As long as you're alive, there's still hope!"

Zhang He's words were undeniably sincere and heartfelt.

However, upon hearing this, Bai Cang's mood grew even heavier, and the sense of urgency in his heart intensified.

A storm is brewing!
