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

A few breaths ago, Chen Xuan finished off three Daoist disciples with a single move, took three magical artifacts, and disappeared without looking back.

The area where the three had been standing was now almost deathly silent, except for the sound of a Jeep burning in the ditch not far away.

As the smoke and dust completely dissipated, the three figures, covered in soot, struggled to their feet from the uneven ground.

Before coming here, they all possessed an extraordinary temperament and a reserved gaze, exuding an air of not caring about worldly matters. But now, all of that has vanished.

Now, the three of them were filled with shock and lingering fear.

"Zhou, Zhou Zheng, just now, what just happened?" Wang Lu from Wudang Mountain asked Zhou Zheng, the squad leader next to him, who was also in a daze, his voice trembling.

Zhou Zheng glanced at Wang Lu, took a deep breath, and said, "You want to ask me about this matter from the Quanzhen Longmen? Don't you think it would be more appropriate to ask Sister Wen Yue from the Tianshi Dao?"

Upon hearing this, both men looked at Wen Yue, the Taoist master, whose expression was even more shocked.

Wen Yue had no time to pay attention to the questioning looks of her two companions. Instead, she stared intently at the direction where the man had disappeared. "I am a disciple personally taught by the old Celestial Master, and I have already received my first ordination. According to the seniority of the Celestial Masters, I will only be qualified to become one of the Celestial Masters' successors when I receive my third ordination at the age of 42."

Zhou Zheng and Wang Lu were also shocked to hear this, as it was clearly a secret of the Celestial Masters sect of Longhu Mountain.

"In other words," Wen Yue continued, "no matter how good my aptitude or how high my strength is, if I want to cultivate half-step lightning techniques, I need to have a smooth path and complete my third blessing before the age of 42 to have even a sliver of a chance, let alone half a step?"

"But...why?"

Wen Yue wasn't sure if the person had used lightning magic, so she didn't dare to speculate. However, the terrifying power of the lightning that had made her tremble could only be a closely guarded secret of the Celestial Masters sect.

Upon hearing this, Zhou Zheng and Wang Lu both gasped in shock, finally understanding why those in the Celestial Masters sect who understood thunder magic were mostly old men.

"You mean he just used... lightning magic?"

"Impossible. Didn't you hear what Wen Yue said? Only by completing the ceremony at a certain age and becoming one of the successors of the next Celestial Master can one possibly learn half of the Thunder Technique. In other words, the complete Thunder Technique is currently only fully mastered by the Old Celestial Master."

“That’s right, this is a rule set by our Celestial Masters Sect’s ancestor, and no one dares to disobey it,” Wen Yue said firmly.

"Then...didn't he just use lightning magic?"

"Phew—" Wang Lu said with lingering fear, "Regardless of whether it's lightning magic or not, he has the strength to kill us in a flash. Fortunately, he held back because of our sect's elders, and we only suffered minor injuries."

Seeing that Wang Lu seemed quite open-minded, Zhou Zheng punched him lightly and said, "You lost the Lu Zu Sword that Master Chen personally copied. Think about how you're going to explain this when you get back."

Wang Lu immediately wore a bitter expression; he couldn't imagine the consequences if his master found out about this.

However, Zhou Zheng was not happy to hear this and retorted, "Hmph, I don't believe that your master, Master Wang, can be happy after the loss of the Dragon-Subduing Cauldron!"

Wen Yue was speechless to see that the two of them still had the leisure to bicker. Although the Dragon Tiger Fan that her master had given her had also been taken away, compared with the leakage of the Thunder Technique, this matter was nothing.

"What do we do now?" Zhou Zheng asked Wang Lu and the other man.

Wang Lu turned his head and glanced at the Jeep burning fiercely in the ditch, then smiled bitterly, "What else can we do? Just take the bus to Xihuang Village, right?"

"It can only be the."

"How strange! How could such a powerful demon with profound cultivation lurk in a small river in the Great Western Wilderness?"

"We can only continue to investigate this matter. If there are still monsters in the river, we will have to call in the experts from the police station."

Wen Yue listened to their conversation with a heavy heart. "I think we should report this matter to our master first and let him make a decision as soon as possible. After all, the Thunder Technique must not be leaked."

The three exchanged glances, then spread out a few steps and took out their phones to send a message.

"Little Yue, why are you calling your master so late at night? Don't you know your master wants to enter your dreams to hear your ancestor preach?"

“Master, listen to me. You won’t be angry if you go to Grandmaster tomorrow, but if he finds out about what I’m about to say, he’ll beat you to death.”

"Well, this old man would like to hear what's going on," the old Celestial Master said with a hearty laugh as he chatted with his proud disciple.

After Wen Yue recounted her encounter with the mysterious man that evening in detail, the old master fell silent.

"Master, what do you think of this matter? Could it be that the thunder magic of our Celestial Masters Sect has really been... leaked out?"

The old Taoist master opposite them remained silent.

After about ten seconds, he responded, "Don't ask me any more questions about this. I'll handle it."

"By the way, Xiaoyue, you said he sounded only around twenty years old?"

“That’s right. Unless he deliberately concealed his voice, it’s impossible for me to have misheard.”

"I understand. Continue your work and remember to accumulate more merit. Although most of the merit you accumulated during your work at Bureau 749 was transferred to the fate of the Longxia Kingdom, you still received a considerable amount, which is already showing signs of a gentle breeze. Perhaps in a few years, this gentle breeze will turn into the light of merit."

"The disciple understands."

After the phone call ended, the three of them reunited, their expressions all very serious.

Obviously, even if they are imitations, they are based on the magical treasures left by the ancestors of each Taoist lineage, and they all have some of the charm of the real thing. They should never be lost without reason.

"This is going to be a big deal. The elders of our three families will definitely use their connections to investigate this person."

"You mean they'll take action themselves?"

Zhou Zheng shook his head and said, "Do you think they are the most treasured artifacts of each sect? They are just textiles."

Wang Lu nodded in agreement, "That's right. I think that after we use our connections to find out about this person's background, the old men will definitely send the top figures of the three religions to demand his return. They'll try to be polite first, then resort to force. If he really dares to push his luck, then maybe the old men will take action."

"The chief of the three sects?"

The three looked at each other and felt that this was in line with the procedure.

Immediately, Wang Lu winked at Zhou Zheng and said, "Senior Brother Zhou, won't Senior Sister Xueqi also be going down the mountain? Can you send me a text message then?"

Zhou Zheng's face darkened when he saw Wang Lu's expression. "Get out of here!"

"Tsk tsk, what a wonderful girl she was, how did she end up becoming a Taoist nun? Sigh... what a pity!"

Zhou Zheng, his face dark with anger, gave Wang Lu a good beating. This kid, relying on his status as a member of the Zheng Yi sect and the right to get married, had been secretly eyeing his senior sister, Lu Xueqi, for many years.

Wen Yue seemed to have thought of something and looked at Wang Lu, "So, when Senior Brother Wang Ye comes down the mountain, you'll also send me a text message?"

Upon hearing Wen Yue's words, Wang Lu glared at her as if he had swallowed a dead rat and said, "You can ask your Chief Master Lingyu Zhenren for your senior brother's phone number and see if he'll give it to you."

Wen Yue rolled her eyes at Wang Lu when she heard his words, and then the three of them set off for Xiangshui River, which was dozens of miles away.

at the same time.

The chat in Chen Xuan's live stream room at Feixian Temple was already flying with comments.

As the storm subsided on Kobayashi's side, and at the urging of his fans, Kobayashi reluctantly opened the door to the main room to check on the situation outside.

Upon closer inspection, not only had the girl in red disappeared, but even the thunderclouds in the sky were dissipating.

Hundreds of thousands of fans immediately flooded the screen with comments asking Chen Xuan about the girl's whereabouts.

Chen Xuan slowly opened his eyes, his eyes filled with barely suppressed joy.

Although today's reward didn't directly grant him cultivation or spiritual power, it did resolve his most embarrassing situation.

The complete Daoist canon, "Six Volumes of Earthly Immortals," and the "General Outline of Weapon Refining and Formation Techniques," which he most desired.

If these measures only addressed the lack of foundation in Chen Xuan's lineage, then what made him happiest was that the system actually rewarded him with his first real magic weapon flying sword - the Jade Dragon Slash.

Chen Xuantai wanted to end the broadcast now so he could properly play with the Jade Dragon Slayer.

Unfortunately, it’s not possible now.

Although Xiaolin's third divination was completed, he still needed to handle the follow-up.

Suppressing his curiosity, Chen Xuan saw that the live stream chat was full of people asking about Jiang Linglong's whereabouts.

Chen Xuan smiled, feeling that since he had already decided to take on a disciple, there was no need to hide it from the outside world.

"Don't worry about that yet. I'll tell everyone where she is later."
