One person: Became a disciple of Shaolin Temple and instantly learned 72 Shaolin skills.

"As expected of Huaiyi's grandson, I never thought this thing could be passed down in the same lineage."

Tian Jinzhong said with a smile that he seemed to see the shadow of Zhang Huaiyi in Zhang Chulan.

"Yes, it really does look like it." The old master nodded with deep satisfaction.

The others who overheard the conversation were completely confused, only knowing that Zhang Chulan's actions seemed to be related to Zhang Huaiyi.

As for what it is, they don't understand.

Others may not know, but Wang Qing understands perfectly well.

The two were talking about Zhang Chulan's desire to hide his true abilities.

Zhang Chulan is very smart, you could say he's much smarter than most people.

He was very clear about his current situation. Now he was labeled as a follower of the Qi Source Stream, and as long as he had this label, trouble would keep coming his way.

Therefore, he had to attach the label of "Qi Source Flow Person" to his body.

The best way to remove the labels on your body is to put on another layer of labels.

This makes the original labels seem less important.

This is why Zhang Chulan chose to hide his talents, even at the cost of being smeared and called shameless.

The old master and Tian Jinzhong had obviously noticed something amiss.

They naturally had some understanding of Zhang Chulan's strength, and Zhang Chulan's current behavior was clearly similar to that of his grandfather Zhang Huaiyi, both of them hiding their true abilities.

As one competition after another came to an end, it was already evening.

The results of the first round of competition were also successfully obtained.

The winners were also summoned back to the same venue where Wang Qing was.

The old celestial master stood on the high platform and addressed the group of people who had advanced, saying, "You've all worked hard. The first round of the competition is now complete. Congratulations on successfully advancing to the next round."

The following matches will be one-on-one; the draw will begin next.

After that, a young Taoist priest carrying a lottery box said, "There are sixteen pairs of the same number prepared here. The person who draws the same number will be your opponent."

With the draw over, everyone knew their next opponent.

After presiding over the drawing ceremony, the old Celestial Master turned to Lu Jin and the others and said, "Gentlemen, it's getting late. The Celestial Master's Mansion has prepared rooms and some simple meals for you. You can go to the canteen to fill your stomachs first, and then go back to rest."

After saying that, the old master turned to Wang Qing and said, "Wang Qing, come to my room after you finish your vegetarian meal. I have something I want to talk to you about."

Clearly, the old master was referring to the message that the master of debunking had Wang Qing deliver to him.

"Ok."

Wang Qing nodded in agreement.

Even if the Celestial Master doesn't come looking for me, I still have things to ask him.

Soon, guided by the young Taoist priest from the Celestial Master's Mansion, the two first went to take a look at the room that had been assigned to them.

Thanks to Master Jiekong, Wang Qing and Liu Yanyan were both assigned a separate room, with Liu Yanyan's room next to Wang Qing's.

Afterwards, the two went to the dining hall of the Celestial Master's Mansion.

After a simple dinner, Liu Yanyan went back to her room, while Wang Qing went to the Old Master's room.

"Greetings, Elder Celestial Master." Upon entering the house, Wang Qing immediately bowed.

"There's only the two of us here, so you don't need to be so reserved. Please have a seat."

The old master beckoned to Wang Qing, inviting him to sit down next to him.

After Wang Qing sat down, the old master carefully examined him before asking, "Wang Qing, was it because you mentioned Lu Linglong that that old fellow Lu Jin got angry today?"

After all, he had been friends with Lu Jin for decades.

The old master knew very well that although Lu Jin did indeed cherish his great-granddaughter Lu Linglong, he wouldn't lose control of his emotions just because Wang Qing mentioned it.

There must be other hidden reasons behind this.

The old master understood that there was only one thing that could make Lu Jin lose his composure like that.

Wang Qing was somewhat surprised that the Celestial Master would ask about this, but upon reflection, he realized that the Celestial Master was a witness to the events of the Three Ones Sect back then, so it was normal for him to be able to guess.

Wang Qing nodded and said, "That's right, Grandpa Lu wasn't angry about this matter, but because I accidentally mentioned a name."

"Yes, Li Muxuan, right?" the old master said to Wang Qing in a low voice.

The only person who can enrage Lu Jin so much right now is Li Muxuan, who caused the destruction of the Sanyi Sect.

“Yes, so I dared to make a deal with Master Lu, exchanging information about Li Muxuan for Master Lu’s Tongtian Talisman.” Wang Qing did not hide anything, and as he spoke, some strange talismans appeared out of thin air in his hand.

He had already successfully learned the basics of the Tongtian Talisman while watching the competition that afternoon.

It was successfully detected by the system and started running in the background.

Seeing Wang Qing display the Tongtian Talisman, the old Celestial Master's expression remained calm and composed.

He already had some guesses in his mind, and the reason he asked Wang Qing was to confirm that his guesses were correct.

"Can you tell me where you learned about these old stories?" the old master asked curiously, since Wang Qing shouldn't be able to know about what happened back then, given his age.

"I'm sorry, I can't say," Wang Qing refused apologetically.

It wasn't that he didn't want to say it, but that he couldn't. He couldn't very well say that he was a time traveler and that it was just the content of a comic book.

"Alright, I understand if you don't want to talk about it." The old master didn't press Wang Qing for an answer, but simply sighed deeply.

“Sigh! I know Lao Lu. What happened back then was a huge blow to him, to the point that it has become a knot in his heart. It would be good if he could find Li Muxuan to resolve the grievances of that year. I just didn’t expect that he would be willing to hand over the Tongtian Talisman to you.”

"But that's fine too. If you were to participate in this competition for the Tongtian Talisman, it would be a big problem."

The old master was implying something.

He was clearly referring to the powerful aura that Wang Qing displayed during his private conversation with Lu Jin that afternoon.

The old master naturally recognized Lu Jin's aura, but the oppressive aura was completely unfamiliar. At that time, Lu Jin was with Wang Qing, so it was obvious who was displaying that oppressive aura.

Wang Qing smiled and said, "That's true. I don't believe I'll easily admit defeat to anyone, so choosing not to participate in this competition is the right choice."

"Oh? I didn't expect you to know this. Tell me about it." The old master was even more curious now.

Wang Qing seemed very confident, as if he was very clear about his own purpose.

"That kid was just guessing randomly, so please forgive him if he's wrong, Elder Master." Wang Qing bowed to the Elder Master again before continuing, "I think the reason you've held this grand Luo Tian Grand Ceremony is to protect Zhang Chulan."

To protect Zhang Chulan, they must give him an identity, an identity that is important enough.

It's important enough to preserve Zhang Chulan's status as a descendant of the Thirty-Six Thieves.

The boy had only one thought in his mind: the Celestial Master of the Celestial Master's Mansion on Longhu Mountain.

Therefore, in order to protect Zhang Chulan, you held this special Luo Tian Grand Ceremony, and you want Zhang Chulan to achieve final victory and accept the position of Celestial Master.

For this you're even willing to risk your own reputation and that of the Celestial Master's Mansion. I wonder if I'm right?

Although Wang Qing looked like he was asking for advice, his expression was incredibly confident.
