Lao Tzu is Ji Gong

Although Li Xiu hadn't intended to teach Wang Xuan a lesson before, he changed his mind after seeing the vicious look in Wang Xuan's eyes.

After Wang Xuan leaves the arena, he's bound to get a beating, so Li Xiu has already decided that Li Duotian is the most suitable person to do it.

After verbally warning Wang Xuan, Li Xiu bid farewell to Lin Yu again before leaving.

Now all he has to do is find a spot to watch the show.

When Wang Xuan saw that Li Duotian and Li Xiu were no longer there, he knew that his operation had completely failed. Seeing that there were still some onlookers around, he said angrily, "What are you looking at? Get lost!"

As a result, the ability to command a large following and to have people obey one's every word disappeared.

Those people just shook their heads dismissively, as if for the losers, all their past glory had been wiped away in an instant.

Wang Xuan could only walk out of the training ground dejectedly.

Before he could even step out of there, someone put a sack over his head and dragged him to a very secluded corner of the training ground where he was brutally beaten.

This was naturally done by Li Xiu at Li Duotian's request. As for where Li Duotian found the bag and how he chose such a good location, Li Xiu had no idea.

The purpose of beating Wang Xuan was to make him remember that he had messed with someone he shouldn't have, and that should shut him up completely.

Now Li Xiu has witnessed Wang Xuan's notoriety firsthand. He also understands from the young man who served them at the front desk that Wang Xuan has indeed offended a lot of people.

So, although what I did was a little excessive, it was all within an acceptable range, and no one would cause trouble for Li Xiu because of it. Everything was done to the best of my ability within acceptable limits.

Finally, after Li Xiu and Li Duotian had given Wang Xuan another meal, they swaggered away as if nothing had happened.

As for what happens to Wang Xuan, Zhang Tiequan and Lin Yu won't care. They just need to do what they're supposed to do, and they won't be responsible for the outcome.

However, Zhang Tiequan was still somewhat unhappy, since he had lost.

The fact that his opponent was able to defeat him, even though he was just a newcomer, made him very dissatisfied. How come newcomers are so arrogant these days?

But a loss is a loss. No matter how eloquently you explain it, it's just an explanation.

Chapter 1512 After the Storm

This time, he wasn't so arrogant walking ahead. He slunk away with Lin Yu and left the area, returning to the region where Xuantianmen was located.

After the turmoil on Wang Xuan's side subsided, Li Xiu and Li Duotian also entered a relatively stable period of cultivation.

This was a rare and precious time for the two of them, who were just starting out, to catch their breath.

As soon as he entered Wuzhuang Temple, people from Xuantianmen came to cause trouble, which would have some impact on him.

The time spent cultivating during peaceful periods was also extremely precious to both of them.

This period lasted for about half a month, during which Li Xiu and Li Duotian both made significant progress in their strength.

Not only has Li Xiu improved his spiritual energy reserves again, but he has also mastered that particular spell very well.

Li Duotian, on the other hand, cultivated in a very methodical way, believing that any cultivation would lead to improvement for him.

Time flies, because today is the beginning of the month, and this day is a very important day for the two of them.

Since Zhen Yuanzi will be giving a sermon here today, you can ask any questions you may have here.

Generally speaking, the days when Zhen Yuanzi comes in person are considered big days for Wuzhuang Temple.

Li Xiu and Li Duotian also arrived at the site where Zhen Yuanzi was going to preach very early, along with Yan Lingfeng.

However, once they arrived here, Li Xiu and Li Duo realized that they had completely underestimated the popularity of Zhen Yuanzi's personal teaching.

They thought they had arrived early enough, but due to the terrible location and the fact that the location was in the middle, they couldn't even see the area in front of them when they arrived. They could only faintly hear some sounds from the outermost edge.

Li Xiu couldn't help but complain to Yan Lingfeng, "Brother Yan Lingfeng, is this always the case?"

Yan Lingfeng nodded and said, "That's right. Although I don't come every time, when I do come, it's usually like this."

"If you hadn't resolved the trouble Wang Xuan caused you before, I probably wouldn't have come this time."

Upon hearing Yan Lingfeng's words, Li Xiu couldn't help but sigh, realizing that the Wuzhuang Temple was indeed a deep and complex place.

There are quite a few instances of people using their power to intimidate others in Wuzhuang Temple, but as long as no one dares to cause him trouble, Li Xiu doesn't want to get involved in this power struggle for the time being.

His most important task now is to improve his own strength.

Now Li Xiu was also starting to wonder what kind of charm Zhen Yuanzi possessed that made everyone so eager to arrive early and wait for his sermon.

Li Xiu also asked Yan Lingfeng, "Brother, do you want to reveal some secrets?"

Yan Lingfeng kept it a secret, saying when Li Xiu asked the question, "It would be pointless to tell you this. Just watch and you won't be disappointed."

Li Xiu could only purse his lips and examine it carefully.

Zhen Yuanzi was a fairly punctual abbot; he didn't act like a big shot or anything. He said he would start at nine o'clock in the morning, and he started right on time.

Thus, Zhen Yuanzi's appearance was very strange. His figure suddenly appeared on the previously empty platform, as if he had always been there.

Chapter 1513 Zhen Yuanzi's Sermon

Upon seeing Zhen Yuanzi's entrance, the people below couldn't help but make some comments, indicating that Zhen Yuanzi was considered very refined and approachable by them.

Every time I try to show off, I end up getting a lot of sharp criticism.

But it is precisely because of this that we can prove that Zhen Yuanzi is quite popular among this group of people, and that everyone should benefit from him.

After Zhen Yuanzi arrived, he cleared his throat and said, "Greetings, everyone. It's time for our monthly sermon again."

"This time it just so happens that Wuzhuang Temple is recruiting new students." It's quite a grand sermon, so I've decided to extend the lecture by an hour.

Zhen Yuanzi's actions won him a lot of goodwill, and Li Xiu was now even more curious. Could it be that Zhen Yuanzi really had some extraordinary ability that could make everyone so eager for his lecture?

As for the specific effects, Li Xiu would have to experience it himself before he could give an evaluation.

After all, Li Xiu had heard Hongjun Daoist preach before. Could it be that Zhen Yuanzi's charm is even greater than that guy's?

However, Li Xiu was indeed shocked, because Zhen Yuanzi's opening remarks were a bombshell.

I don't know where Zhen Yuanzi got the news from, or if his previous battle was leaked out. I didn't expect that Zhen Yuanzi would start explaining the function of magic as soon as he began his sermon.

It wasn't some move that an ordinary person would use, but rather the effect of a spell like the one Li Xiu used yesterday.

Upon hearing Zhen Yuanzi's opening remarks, Li Xiu even wondered if his battle yesterday had been deliberately arranged.

But what's the reason, no matter what, is something that Li Xiu should seriously consider, as Zhen Yuanzi was able to prescribe such a targeted remedy.

After all, having such an expert to guide him in learning new things is always a good thing for Li Xiu.

Zhen Yuanzi's teachings on magic were somewhat confusing to the others.

However, each time Zhen Yuanzi brings something new, it also significantly boosts their strength.

Therefore, they were particularly looking forward to this lecture.

Zhen Yuanzi slowly spoke up, "So-called magic is actually an evolution of techniques, only it requires a higher level of understanding of those techniques."

"I believe that you all have the talent to create your own spells, but perhaps you didn't realize it before, which is why you didn't think of it this way."

"However, there is one thing I might need to tell you specifically: the creation of a spell is best done at a specific time."

"For example, the best time to create spells is during critical moments in battle or when a breakthrough is needed. But if you like, it's actually quite easy to create some small spells at other times."

"Of course I don't recommend you do that. It's a useless spell."

When Zhen Yuanzi said this, everyone below, except for Li Xiu, was completely confused.

Zhen Yuanzi realized that he had jumped around a bit in his speech, so he continued.

"As for the effects of magic, if I don't explain them to you clearly, I doubt you'll be very interested in this kind of thing."

Chapter 1514 Li Xiu's Summary

"Now, I can tell you with certainty that spells do not directly enhance your attacks."

When Zhen Yuanzi came up and painted such a big picture, he first poured cold water on everyone's enthusiasm, leaving the people below somewhat helpless.

What exactly is Zhen Yuanzi up to?

Some impatient individuals asked directly, "Zhen Yuanzi, what exactly is the effect of this spell?"

Zhen Yuanzi continued, "Although magic doesn't directly enhance everyone's attack or defense, it can achieve any effect except that."

After hearing Zhen Yuanzi say this, the crowd below began to stir again.

If the magic described by Zhen Yuanzi truly possesses such miraculous power, then it would be an extremely useful trump card for everyone.

Zhen Yuanzi continued, "It is precisely because of this function that the upper and lower limits of his magic are very high. If used well, it may be able to completely turn the tide for you."

"However, if not used properly, it might just make the food taste a little better when you chew it."

"The true essence of magic is that there are no limits, so I hope you will listen attentively to this sermon today."

"After all, if you can master such a spell, it will definitely improve your strength."

"Moreover, I believe that the students in Wuzhuang Temple are not lacking in creativity. Whether you can break through your limits, I think you can try it today."

It has to be said that Zhen Yuanzi's words were very tempting; who wouldn't want to be stronger?

Now, Zhen Yuanzi has undoubtedly brought you the easiest opportunity to achieve this path.

Imagine, does something that can perform both attack and defense functions really exist in this world?

But that's exactly how it exists!

Therefore, everyone's eyes were filled with light as they stared at Zhen Yuanzi above.

Zhen Yuanzi was very satisfied with the reactions of the students below, and then he slowly said, "How exactly are spells created?"
