Fortune telling? How do you explain your hand-drawn lightning magic and sword flight?

Shi Hao rebuked her in a deep voice, and Jiang Linglong was so frightened by the rebuke that she withdrew her hand and took a step back.

Upon seeing this, Wang Ye and Zhang Lingyu were about to take action.

"You dare scare Junior Sister Linglong? This time we won't hold back!"

"Hmph, I don't think I can let you live!" Zhang Lingyu shouted, shielding Jiang Linglong behind him.

Upon hearing Wang Ye and the other mention Linglong, Shi Hao immediately reacted as if struck by lightning and shouted, "Wait!"

"Who do you think she is? What's her name?"

"Junior Sister Linglong, Chief Disciple of Feixian Temple, Jiang Linglong!"

Wang Ye shouted.

"Huh?" Shi Hao was stunned.

Upon hearing that Jiang Linglong was actually the chief disciple of Feixian Temple, the stone tablet immediately changed its attitude.

"Shi Hao greets Senior Sister Linglong!"

These respectful words startled Wang Ye, the other two, and Jiang Linglong.

"Senior Sister?" Jiang Linglong was inexplicably happy. He seemed to have thought of something and looked at the stone tablet, saying, "I don't have a junior brother. Why are you calling me Senior Sister?"

"Hehe, it's like this..."

Shi Hao immediately repeated what Chen Xuan had told him, and even directly confessed that Shi Hao was officially named by Chen Xuan.

"Oh ho, so this is how we became friends after our fight?"

Upon learning of Shi Hao's background, Wang Ye immediately sensed something was amiss. He then instinctively put his arm around the face atop the stone tablet to ingratiate himself, saying, "We're all on the same side, Junior Brother. How come you're only fit to guard the mountain path?"

Zhang Lingyu and Lu Xueqi listened attentively, while Jiang Linglong was also quite curious about Shi Hao.

"Sigh, don't call me junior brother." Shi Hao said dejectedly, "Master, no, the Daoist said that if I want to become his disciple, I need to undergo multiple tests and completely withstand the heavenly tribulation lightning punishment of the name Shi Hao before he will accept me as a disciple."

"what?"

"Just because it bears a name, it can still be destroyed by lightning?"

Shi Hao sighed, "Yes, the Daoist said that I need to have a Daoist heart that can stand alone through the ages in order to bear this name."

"So, what was the first test the Taoist priest gave you?" Wang Ye couldn't help but ask.

"Yes, what was the test Master gave you?" Jiang Linglong asked curiously.

"Well, as you can see, these are the two formations on this road." The stone tablet turned around, facing the mountain road below. "My master said that I need to break the formations and then master two more great formations before I can be considered qualified and have the possibility of becoming his apprentice."

Wang Ye and his two companions had all personally entered the formation and overcome countless difficulties to break through it.

Of course, he knew how profound the two great formations at the foot of the mountain were, enabling a stone spirit with no inheritance to break through the formations and completely master the formations...

Isn't this first level of assessment a bit too difficult?

"Didn't the Taoist priest tell you any ideas about the formation, or give you any pointers?" Wang Ye asked in confusion.

"Before the Taoist priest left, he pointed his sword at my brow and imparted to me many profound and unpredictable array formations. That's why I got angry when you disturbed my cultivation and comprehension."

"what?"

"Array formation inheritance?"

Wang Ye and the other two exchanged glances and immediately understood Chen Xuan's thoughts.

If Chen Xuan had no intention of taking on disciples, he certainly wouldn't have bestowed names upon them, much less passed on such a precious inheritance as array formations.

"Alright, since that's the case, I can give you some pointers on these two formations."

“That’s right, we just broke through the formation and reached the top last night.”

"Although I am not skilled in formations, I can still point out some of your doubts."

Wang Ye and the other two knew that Chen Xuan had already decided to take Shi Hao as his disciple. If they didn't establish a relationship with Shi Hao before he became Chen Xuan's disciple, it would be difficult to develop that relationship later.

"Really?"

"Of course, let me give you a formal introduction."

Wang Ye glanced at Zhang Lingyu and Lu Xueqi.

"Wang Ye is the next head of Wudang Mountain."

"Zhang Lingyu, the Purple-Robed Celestial Master at the foot of Longhu Mountain."

Compared to the previous two exaggerated statements, Lu Xueqi was much more low-key: "Lu Xueqi, Chief of the Myriad Paths Dragon Gate".

Seeing the three of them like this, Jiang Linglong quickly straightened up and said in a deep voice, "Ahem, the future abbot of Feixian Temple, Jiang Linglong!"

Shi Hao hadn't expected the three of them to be so important.

He was also secretly glad that the two hadn't really made a move, otherwise he would have perished long ago, let alone become their disciple.

"In Cangyun Mountain, the stone statue on the ancient tomb's spirit path is Shi Hao!"

"Hahaha……"

"Junior brother, come here, let's study these two great formations together, and try to get you to become my disciple as soon as possible."

“That’s right. Once you officially become my disciple, we can discuss cultivation and practice together.”

"So, I have a junior brother now, and I've become the big sister?" Jiang Linglong seemed to have realized something and was overjoyed.

"Ah!"

Inside his residence, Chen Xuan was refining spirit stones and precious jades one by one when suddenly his nose became itchy, and he couldn't help but yawn.

"Strange, what's going on?"

time flies.

In the blink of an eye, under the guidance of Zhang Lingyu and the other two, Shi Hao gained a deeper understanding of formations.

At noon, Jiang Linglong and the other two finished preparing lunch.

Chen Xuan then walked out of the room feeling refreshed.

Looking at the relatively plentiful meal, Chen Xuan didn't hesitate to praise his disciple's culinary skills.

These words caught Lu Xueqi's attention. She glanced at Chen Xuan with her bright eyes and secretly memorized the dishes he liked, thinking that she would have to deepen her learning of worldly cooking skills in the future.

After lunch and a short rest,

Jiang Linglong went to cultivate with her junior brother Shi Hao.

In the backyard, only Chen Xuan and Wang Ye remained.

"Have you clarified the confusion on your path of cultivation?" Chen Xuan asked, his gaze sweeping over the three of them.

"Yes."

Wang Ye bowed respectfully, walked out, and immediately voiced his doubts to Chen Xuan.

Feng Hou Qi Men, also known as the Eight Extraordinary Techniques of the previous life.

If Chen Xuan hadn't obtained the complete "General Outline of Formation Refinement," things might have been quite tricky. Feng Hou Qi Men, theoretically an advanced version of determining the eight palaces by direction, can easily change the Qi Men directions in a small area after mastering it, giving him a significant advantage in every situation.

But that's all.

This kind of secret technique is far from reaching the level of using formations to draw upon the power of heaven and earth on a large scale for one's own use.

Therefore, Chen Xuan's guidance of Wang Ye on the Feng Hou Qi Men technique was a piece of cake.

Chen Xuan's few words were full of wisdom, hitting the nail on the head regarding Wang Ye's essential confusion in his spiritual practice.

Wang Ye felt as if he had been struck by lightning, as if he had been enlightened.

After bowing respectfully to Chen Xuan, he hurriedly ran out of the backyard to find a quiet place to sit cross-legged and close his eyes to cultivate in seclusion.

"Lingyu, the question you're asking about is probably about lightning magic, isn't it?"

Chen Xuan looked at Zhang Lingyu and smiled. He had a pleasant conversation with the old Celestial Master and was quite familiar with Zhang Lingyu's cultivation methods.

And perhaps because Zhang Lingyu, like his disciple, was dressed in white with white hair, Chen Xuan found himself feeling quite close to him.

"Lingyu dares not hide it, it is indeed a confusion about thunder magic." Zhang Lingyu dared not breathe and walked cautiously in front of Chen Xuan.

Without saying a word, Chen Xuan pointed a finger directly at Zhang Lingyu's brow.

Immediately, Chen Xuan frowned slightly, "You are no longer a virgin?"

"This..." Zhang Lingyu's face burned like fire, and he stammered, full of disappointment, "Two years ago, I went down the mountain to travel, and a moment of folly..."

"Master, now that I've lost my virginity, does that mean I'll never have the chance to experience the Yang Five Thunders again in this life?"

Chen Xuan found Zhang Lingyu's nervous and worried expression amusing. "It doesn't matter. I was just asking out of curiosity."

"what?"

Zhang Lingyu immediately wanted to find a crack in the ground to crawl into. Why was the Taoist priest so gossipy?

He even mentioned this in front of his junior sister Xueqi. If this gossip gets out, his future will be ruined.

“Your master said that you have had it too easy since childhood, and this incident has been a great blow to you. But what I want to tell you is that in cultivating thunder magic, a clear and bright mind is the most important thing.”

"This is my understanding of the Five Thunder Orthodox Method. Although it cannot be considered a lineage, it will be of great benefit to you."

Zhang Lingyu's face flushed. "Master? You know Master?"
