Ordinary people can also be extraordinary

Zhang Chen sat in the carriage and started practicing, and did not get off the carriage even for meals and rest.

Li Yingnan would get on the carriage from time to time to talk to Zhang Chen. At first, Li Yingnan was quite afraid of Zhang Chen, but later they gradually became familiar with each other. Only then did she realize that the immortal master was actually just like an ordinary person.

"Master, I have received the pigeon message from my father. The house and carriage you need are ready."

Li Yingnan walked into the carriage and said to Zhang Chen.

"Thank you very much. Since your family is rich, I won't be polite to you." Zhang Chen said with a shy smile.

"Master, can I go to practice Taoism with you?"

Li Yingnan asked the question she had wanted to ask for a long time hesitantly.

"That's not possible. The sect has rules. If you don't have the qualifications to cultivate immortality, you can't enter the sect."

Li Yingnan was a little disappointed, but soon returned to normal.

"What are the qualifications for cultivating immortals? Can you tell that I have the qualifications?"

"I can't tell. In fact, I have only been cultivating for a short time, so I don't understand a lot of it. But I've seen that when sects select people, they usually require them to be under sixteen years old."

Li Yingnan was completely disappointed when he heard this and got off the carriage with a gloomy face.

Two days later, their carriage entered Sunset City, the capital of Hedong County. The carriage made many turns and arrived at the gate of a majestic and luxurious mansion.

Zhang Chen got off the carriage and looked towards the entrance. He saw a middle-aged man in brocade clothes, about fifty years old, slightly fat, with shrewd eyes, standing in front of a dozen guards.

Seeing Zhang Chen get off the carriage, he hurried to meet him.

"Master, you have worked hard along the way. Thank you for saving my daughter's life. You are truly the savior of our Li family."

Li Qian looked at Zhang Chen's face full of surprise. He knew from his daughter's letter that Zhang Chen was very young, but he didn't expect him to be so young. Looking at his daughter's expression beside him, it didn't seem like he had recognized the wrong person.

Zhang Chen bowed to Li Qian, but his eyes looked at an old man on the steps.

He looked to be in his fifties, wearing a gray robe, with a thin figure, sharp eyes, and vigorous spirit. He had been staring at Zhang Chen since Zhang Chen got out of the carriage.

Zhang Chen felt the other person's gaze and sensed the other person's spiritual energy fluctuations, which were much stronger than his own.

"This is the priest that my Li family just invited, Master Wang Hao." Seeing Zhang Chen staring at Wang Hao, Li Qian quickly explained.

"Hello, Senior Wang." Zhang Chen bowed slightly.

"Hmm," the old man replied softly and left.

"This old man seems to be hostile to me, which is really strange. I have never offended him."

Zhang Chen frowned slightly, shook his head, and thought secretly in his heart.

"Master Wang is usually like this, Master Zhang, please don't be surprised."

Li Qian immediately stepped forward and explained to Zhang Chen.

"It's okay, take me to see the house. I'm in a hurry and have to go to Youshui County."

Zhang Chen waved his hand and asked Li Qian about the house.

"Okay, I'll arrange for someone to accompany Master Zhang right away. The carriage and people are ready, and we can set off at any time."

Li Qian pointed to the carriage next to him, where three people were waiting.

"Thank you so much," Zhang Chen bowed to Li Qian to express his gratitude.

"Master, you really embarrassed me. You saved my daughter, and this little favor is really not worth mentioning."

Li Qian quickly held Zhang Chen's hand.

Zhang Chen followed the others to the house and took a look. It was a mansion with three courtyards, a garden, rockeries and flowing water. The house did not look luxurious, but the decoration was very delicate, making people feel very comfortable, especially the backyard had several cultivated lands. There were five servants arranged by Li Qian to serve in the house. Zhang Chen was very satisfied after seeing it.

"That Li Qian is really amazing. I only told Li Yingnan some requirements, and he basically knew who was living there and their living habits."

After looking at the house, Zhang Chen did not delay any further. He quickly got on the carriage arranged by Li Qian and instructed the person arranged to go to Youshui County immediately.

Zhang Chen and his companions traveled day and night, and every time they arrived at a town, they would change people and horses and continue on their journey.

Finally, they entered Youshui County in the early morning five days later. Zhang Chen had been practicing in the carriage, and half of his acupoints had been opened in these few days. This was all thanks to the spirit stones he had robbed, otherwise Zhang Chen would not have had so much spiritual energy to open up the acupoints.

Zhang Chen looked at the scenery outside. Maybe because he was close to home, the flowers, plants and trees looked very familiar to him, and he began to feel nervous.

"Maybe this is what the gentleman said, the closer you are to home, the more timid you become."

Another day passed, and the carriage finally drove into Heping Town. Zhang Chen looked at the soldiers patrolling the city wall, the rows of giant crossbows, and many catapults, and instantly became nervous.

"Could it be that the insect swarm is coming again?" Zhang Chen felt uneasy, as the previous impression was still vivid in his mind.

The carriage stopped at the west of the town, and Zhang Chen was going to ask the people there. When Zhang Chen was taken to cultivate immortality, the mayor said that he would take his parents to live in the center of the town. So Zhang Chen didn't know where his parents lived now.

When he arrived at the place where he lived before, Zhang Chen saw from afar that someone was living there and there was still smoke coming out of the house.

"Could it be that this house has been given to someone else? This is a good opportunity to ask my parents where they live now?" Zhang Chen muttered to himself.

When I got closer, I saw that the person in the yard looked so familiar.

"Isn't this my mother? Why is she still living here?" Zhang Chen felt puzzled.

"Mom, I'm back." Zhang Chen came to his mother and said softly.

The person in the yard paused, his hands trembled as he was hanging clothes, and he slowly turned around and saw Zhang Chen. His eyes were full of surprise, and the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes became bigger.

"Chen'er, you're back?" Zhang Chen's mother burst into tears, she was so happy that her voice trembled a little.

Zhang Chen hurried over. His mother touched his face, pinched his arm, and looked him over.

"You've gotten stronger and firmer. I hope you haven't been bullied outside."

"No, mother, don't worry."

Zhang Chen saw that his mother's face looked much more haggard, as if she had aged several years in just a few months, and he felt heartbroken.

"Let's go inside, Lao Zhang, look who's back?"

Zhang Chen's mother pulled him back into the house. Zhang Chen's father came out of the room and was also surprised to see Zhang Chen.

The three of them talked for a while, all asking about Zhang Chen's situation, how he was doing in the sect, and whether his cultivation was going smoothly.

"Mother, didn't the mayor want you to move to the town center? Why are you still here?"

Zhang Chen asked about his doubts.

"Hey, Lao Zhang, you should speak first."

When Zhang Chen's mother heard this, the smile on her face disappeared.

Zhang Chen looked at his father, wanting to hear what he had to say.

"We had originally moved to the town. Two months ago, an immortal arranged for Wang Dong's parents and some relatives to live in the capital. Gradually, gossip spread in the town, saying that your cultivation in the sect was not going well and you might be kicked out soon. Otherwise, why didn't they arrange for us to live in the capital? And they also said that we were not worthy of living there... Hey."

Zhang Chen's father shook his head and sighed.

"We just couldn't stand those words, so we moved back here by ourselves. It's quieter here."

Zhang Chen's mother also chimed in.

After hearing this, Zhang Chen instantly became furious. He really wanted to kill those people who gossiped about him. The sudden thought in his mind scared Zhang Chen. Ever since he killed so many bandits last time, Zhang Chen felt that his personality had changed a bit.

"Forget it, Father and Mother. I came back this time just to take you away. I have already bought a house that is close to my sect, so it will be more convenient for me to visit you then."

"Where are you going?"

"Hedong County is more than 2,000 kilometers away from here. It takes at least half a month by carriage. The sect only gave me one month, so we have to hurry."

"So far." Zhang Chen's parents were a little confused. They had never been to such a far place in their lives.

"Father and mother, don't worry. I have already arranged everything. You will definitely get used to it when you go there. Stay close to me so that I can be more assured when you practice in the future."

"Then why did you bring these things?" Zhang Chen's mother looked at the things at home and became embarrassed.

"You don't need to bring anything. There is nothing missing anywhere."

……

An hour later, the carriage carrying Zhang Chen's parents and their two children left the town gate and headed towards Sunset City.

Ten days later, they finally arrived at Sunset City. Zhang Chen brought his parents into the house. Seeing his parents' satisfied expressions, Zhang Chen was very pleased. His parents could enjoy their old age here in the future.

Zhang Chen took out the gold and talismans he had bought in the sect. He gave the pills to his parents on the way and taught them how to use the talismans. After spending a day with his parents in the house, Zhang Chen was ready to leave for the sect.

Zhang Chen's parents reluctantly bid him farewell in front of the house, and reminded him to be careful on the road. Zhang Chen waved goodbye to his parents, and his eyes became red.

Before leaving, he found Li Qian and asked him to take care of his parents. Looking at Li Yingnan's eager eyes, Zhang Chen promised her that he would come back next time to check if she had the qualifications to practice Taoism, and if so, he would take her to the sect to practice Taoism.

Then Zhang Chen set off towards the sect.

"Now that I have arranged for my parents, I no longer have to worry about anything. I can practice with peace of mind."

Zhang Chen felt like a weight had been lifted off his chest, and he felt a lot more relaxed.
