After closing the book, Zhao Wuji walked alone towards his dormitory.
As he walked, he muttered to himself, "This body has a fine exterior, but its foundation has been hollowed out, and its primordial energy has almost been completely depleted. It's really difficult to start the path of cultivation. It seems I'll have to ask you to find me a new body. Using the Chaos Saint Body on this body is simply a waste."
When Zhao Wuji arrived at the dormitory building, he encountered an unexpected person.
Gu Qingqing, wearing expensive crystal high heels and a white dress, walked towards Zhao Wuji.
"Is this woman Gu Qingqing from the original owner's memories?" There was a hint of evasion in Zhao Wuji's eyes.
He wasn't sure how much Gu Qingqing knew about Lin Chen. If she realized that Lin Chen had been possessed by him, it might cause Shen Lang unnecessary trouble.
Gu Qingqing walked to Zhao Wuji's side and said with a smile, "It seems that the boss is right, Lin Chen is indeed dead."
Upon hearing this, a murderous glint flashed in Zhao Wuji's eyes. In an instant, he had already mentally prepared a hundred ways for Gu Qingqing to die.
Although Gu Qingqing sensed the killing intent in Zhao Wuji's eyes, she extended her right hand without caring and smiled, "Hello, I'm the boss's employee, my name is Gu Qingqing."
Zhao Wuji also reached out and lightly touched Gu Qingqing's hand before separating.
"Are you the young master's person?" In just a moment of contact, Zhao Wuji sensed the same aura on Gu Qingqing that he could only feel on Shen Lang.
Gu Qingqing nodded without saying anything more.
Zhao Wuji was still uneasy and dialed Shen Lang's number, because he had never seen this woman in front of him when he was with Shen Lang.
After confirming with Shen Lang, Zhao Wuji felt relieved and formally introduced himself to Gu Qingqing: "Hello, my name is Zhao Wuji. I am your servant."
Gu Qingqing nodded, said nothing more, and turned to leave.
She came today only to confirm whether Lin Chen was dead, and she was basically certain the moment she saw Zhao Wuji.
After Gu Qingqing left, Zhao Wuji also took his books and returned to his dormitory.
"Hey, Chen-ge, what are you doing studying ancient books lately?" Lin Chen's roommate asked with a smile when he saw him return. "When are we going to that new club in Gulou? I heard the new girls there are really hot."
Zhao Wuji glanced at the other party and said in a calm tone, "This brat is not worth discussing things with."
He then tidied up the things on the table and ignored the other person.
The roommates exchanged glances, not daring to say anything. After all, Lin Chen had supported them for over a year, and they didn't have the courage to turn against him.
As dusk fell, Zhu Ziqi returned to the hotel carrying several bags and handed back an empty credit card to Zhang Chengyang.
Zhang Chengyang didn't care at all. Zhu Ziqi was overjoyed to see Zhang Chengyang's reaction and secretly vowed to latch onto Zhang Chengyang's coattails.
However, Zhu Ziqi never saw Shen Lang again, whom she had been longing for all afternoon. Zhang Chengyang always had various reasons to send Shen Lang away whenever they met.
A week later, Zhang Chengyang sent Zhu Ziqi back to S Province under the pretext of going abroad, and they never contacted each other again.
To Zhang Chengyang, she was just a playmate; once he got tired of her, he would naturally send her away.
In Yingtan City, Xijiang Province, at the foot of Longhu Mountain, Shen Lang looked up at this famous Taoist mountain of the Yanhuang Kingdom and said with a smile, "It is said that this mountain is where Zhang Daoling, the founder of Taoism, refined elixirs. Legend has it that 'when the elixir was completed, dragons and tigers appeared,' hence the name of the mountain. Indeed, seeing is believing!"
Yu Xian'er smiled and said, "Husband, Zhang Daoyan, the current Celestial Master of Longhu Mountain, is renowned throughout the world for his unique skill of the Seven Star Life-Sustaining Lamp. However, since inheriting this unique skill, Celestial Master Zhang Daoyan has only used it six times."
“Then the identities of the other four people must also be extraordinary.” Shen Lang laughed. “This Celestial Master is indeed skilled; his ability to prolong life can ensure that Longhu Mountain will be safe for five hundred years.”
"Hahaha! Young Master Shen flatters me. I am but a humble old Taoist priest, and I am not worthy of such praise from you." As he spoke, an old man dressed in a blue Taoist robe and wearing a lotus crown appeared in front of Shen Lang.
The old man, holding a white whisk, bowed to Shen Lang and Yu Xian'er: "Greetings, Young Master Shen and Miss Yu. This humble Taoist greets you."
Yu Xian'er immediately returned the greeting: "Xian'er greets the Celestial Master."
Zhang Daoyan waved his whisk and said with a smile, "Miss Yu, there's no need to be so polite. Last night, a magpie appeared in my dream, and I knew that a distinguished guest would be visiting today, so I waited here early."
Shen Lang also bowed to Zhang Daoyan and said, "Shen Lang greets Celestial Master Zhang. I apologize for disturbing you."
Zhang Daoyan laughed heartily: "Young Master Shen, it is my honor that you have graced Longhu Mountain with your presence. How could I possibly be disturbing you?"
Shen Lang laughed and said, "Oh? Does the Celestial Master know me?"
Zhang Daoyan stroked his beard and nodded with a kind expression: "Young Master Shen's name is renowned far and wide, and his unpredictable skills are truly admirable to this old Daoist."
Shen Lang naturally understood what Zhang Daoyan was talking about, and it wasn't hard to guess. The fact that Yu Xian'er was standing in front of Zhang Daoyan at this moment already said everything.
Shen Lang smiled slightly and said, "You flatter me, Elder Celestial Master."
"Young Master Shen, Miss Yu, please come up the mountain for a chat!" The old master pointed towards the back mountain.
Shen Lang nodded: "Then I'll take my leave."
As is well known, Longhu Mountain is divided into the front mountain and the back mountain.
The front of the mountain is a tourist attraction, providing a place for visitors to take photos, offer incense, and have fun.
The back mountain is the true place where Longhu Mountain is passed down.
Taoist priests dressed in robes can be seen walking on the mountain from the back.
Some were fetching water and chopping wood, some were planting crops and weeding, and others were practicing martial arts in the woods.
Zhang Daoyan stroked his beard and said proudly, "Young Master Shen, is Longhu Mountain to your liking?"
Shen Lang laughed and said, "This Taoist holy site truly lives up to its reputation. I've learned something new, young man."
A true cultivator practices cultivation in every word, deed, gesture, and expression.
Longhu Mountain certainly has reason to be proud within the territory of Yanhuang Kingdom. After all, Longhu Mountain is one of the most complete Taoist holy sites in terms of heritage and preservation from ancient times to the present, and countless Taoist believers regard Longhu Mountain as their sacred place.
Zhang Daoyan, the current head of Longhu Mountain, also had reason to be arrogant in front of Shen Lang.
Shen Lang's intuition told him that if Zhang Daoyan wanted to suppress him, it would be as easy as turning his hand over.
Shen Lang and the others followed Zhang Daoyan all the way to the real Longhu Mountain sect.
Two Taoist guards outside the sect bowed to the old Celestial Master and said, "Ancestor."
Zhang Daoyan nodded and led Shen Lang into the sect's interior.
Upon entering, the first thing you see is a portrait of the Three Pure Ones.
Shangqing Lingbao Tianzun, Yuqing Yuanshi Tianzun, Taiqing Daode Tianzun.
After respectfully offering three sticks of incense, Zhang Daoyan turned to the crowd and said, "You have all come from afar. If you wish, you may also offer one stick of incense."
