Upon seeing Chen Xuan return from his shopping trip down the mountain, the injured Wang Ye and Zhang Lingyu exchanged glances.

"Ah, that's right. We had a sudden realization while cultivating just now." Wang Ye hurriedly wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and looked at Chen Xuan with a smile. "So, we had a real sparring match right there and then."

"But I didn't expect that we would get so engrossed in the sparring that it turned out like this."

"Yes, yes, Daoist Master, we were just sparring and got injured, it wasn't because of anything else." Zhang Lingyu echoed Wang Ye's lie with an extremely unnatural expression.

Wang Ye hurriedly looked at Lu Xueqi and the stunned Jiang Linglong and asked, "Junior sisters, you were there at the time, right?"

Lu Xueqi hesitated for a moment before finally nodding, "That's how it is."

Chen Xuan glanced at Lu Xueqi, then looked at his disciple Jiang Linglong.

Jiang Linglong and Chen Xuangang exchanged glances, then Jiang Linglong lowered her head and said, "That's not how it is, Master!"

Upon hearing this, Wang Ye, Zhang Lingyu, and even Lu Xueqi all sighed inwardly, "Junior Sister hasn't boarded this ship yet?"

Chen Xuan looked at his disciple with a half-smile, "Oh? It's not like that?"

“Master and my fellow disciples didn’t have any real combat experience. They…they…” Jiang Linglong stammered, looking at the three of them with their somber expressions. “They were actually practicing divination, trying to calculate the Heavenly Dao, and in the end, they all suffered a backlash from the Heavenly Dao.”

"what?"

"what?"

"Hehehe... As expected of junior sister."

Chen Xuan didn't need to calculate to know what had happened. After all, he had been talking to the Celestial Master for several hours, and the two of them had already learned about these trivial matters during their conversation.

Chen Xuan wanted to know how a direct disciple would choose when faced with a fellow disciple.

Should they follow the crowd and deceive their master, or should they disregard their fellow disciples and expose the culprit directly?

In fact, Chen Xuan was worried about both possibilities.

Being too blunt and publicly exposing others' intentions is ultimately a sign of being too honest, which is detrimental to one's future success.

Without his own independent thought, he was easily manipulated by outsiders, which made him even more worried.

Fortunately, Chen Xuan was very satisfied with Jiang Linglong's answer.

Did he suffer a backlash for trying to predict the will of Heaven?

In fact, it's already very close to reality.

"Hahaha." Chen Xuan laughed and glanced at Wang Ye and the other two. "The workings of the Heavenly Dao are not something you can easily glimpse with your mere divination. Be careful next time."

"Yes."

"Follow the instructions carefully."

"Thank you for your guidance, senior."

Seeing that Chen Xuan was not angry or furious, the three of them secretly breathed a sigh of relief. They unconsciously gave their junior sister Jiang Linglong a thumbs up, feeling very impressed.

"Linglong, keep this with you at all times; it's a symbol of your identity."

With a flick of his wrist, an ID card appeared in Chen Xuan's hand.

Jiang Linglong took the item from Chen Xuan's hand. At first, she didn't know what it was, but when she saw that her name and photo were on it, and the address of Tangwu City and Tangwu Mountain Feixian Temple was recorded in the text below, she realized that it was indeed something.

She was immediately moved. "Master, this is my Long Xia ID card. I'll be a person with an identity from now on?"

Chen Xuan smiled and nodded, then looked at the three people beside him who looked astonished and said, "Go and cultivate to recover from your injuries. Once you are back to your peak condition, think about the various questions you have about cultivation, and I will give each of you some guidance once."

After saying that, Chen Xuan turned around and walked into his residence.

It wasn't until Chen Xuan entered the residence and disappeared that Wang Ye and the other two came to their senses, and were immediately overjoyed.

"We must seize this opportunity."

"Is my lightning magic finally about to break through to that level?" Zhang Lingyu couldn't help but murmur to himself.

"My swordsmanship has long reached a bottleneck, and I have been unable to make any further progress for the past three years. I hope that I can make a slight breakthrough under the guidance of the Taoist priest this time." Lu Xueqi's eyes sparkled with reverence.

"The Taoist priest's formation is so powerful, he can definitely give me some pointers on the art of Qimen formations."

Seeing the three of them secretly delighted and murmuring to themselves, seemingly very much looking forward to their master's guidance this time.

Compared to this, Jiang Linglong felt very pleased.

My master would guide me every day and also give me various insights into cultivation.

The saying goes, "No comparison, no harm."

"Junior sister, you are so clever. If it weren't for your quick thinking just now, we probably would have angered the Taoist priest."

“You are so intelligent and clever, Junior Sister. We are willing to accompany you when you go down the mountain to gain experience, whether you go to Longhu Mountain or other places in the Holy See. We will go on your journey with you.”

A timely rescue is like putting out a fire.

When the three of them looked at Jiang Linglong again, they truly liked her from the bottom of their hearts.

"Alright, then senior brothers and sisters, we must cultivate diligently. Linglong is also looking forward to going down the mountain for training."

The four of them walked together through the main hall of the Taoist temple and arrived at the open space in front of the temple.

However, as soon as they stepped out, the four of them turned around and looked at a white stone tablet at the foot of the mountain not far away.

"Ok?"

"Is there a demon?"

"Is it a stone spirit?"

"Wow, he seems very powerful, like he's even more skilled than me."

The four sensed Shi Hao's presence as soon as they stepped outside and immediately rushed over to check on him.

Ever since Chen Xuan named him Shi Hao, Shi Hao felt that the name carried an invincible aura. Although Wang Ye, Zhang Lingyu and the other two posed a great threat to him, he still stood proudly and ignored them.

"Where did this monster come from?" Zhang Lingyu was about to receive guidance from Chen Xuan and was naturally grateful, but she never expected that a stone spirit would come to Tangwu Mountain.

If we don't investigate this thoroughly, some unexpected problems might arise later.

"Hmph, um, from the heavens!" Shi Hao didn't know why, he originally wanted to speak properly, but when the words came out, he felt that being so humble would be an insult to Shi Hao's name, so he simply became high-profile.

"Oh ho, coming from the sky? Do you think you're some kind of flying stone in front of the main hall of the three sects?"

Wang Ye jokingly remarked, "The flying stone in my house is the stone my ancestor stepped on when he ascended to heaven. What are you? How dare you pretend to be a flying stone?"

"presumptuous!"

For some reason, Shi Hao suddenly felt insulted and immediately retorted.

"I am Shi Hao. You juniors, why are you disturbing my cultivation by chattering instead of cultivating?"

Shi Hao truly deserves to be called a junior, as he has lived for five or six hundred years since the birth of his spirit.

But, that's what I said.

However, to Wang Ye and Zhang Lingyu, the harsh words sounded like insults.

"Damn, let's get him!"

"Little stone spirit, you're good at Tangwu Mountain, fine, but you're so arrogant. Do you really think we can't deal with you?"

Immediately, Wang Ye and Zhang Lingyu launched a doubles attack on Shi Hao.

The two fought while talking about acting on behalf of Heaven.

"stop fighting!"

"What? You're convinced now?"

"Hmph, just because I can't beat you now doesn't mean I won't be able to in the future!"

"Goodness, he's still not convinced?" Wang Ye called out, "Keep going!"

"Impressed!"

"You're the most backbone I've ever seen when it comes to backing down," Zhang Lingyu said, rubbing his slightly sore fist.

"Humph."

Jiang Linglong curiously circled the Flying Stone, examining it closely, and even reached out to touch the stone tablet bearing Shi Hao's true form.

"Stop! Don't touch my body with your filthy hands!"
