A passerby in a horror movie

In other words, if Li Haotian doesn't hang up the phone, the time in the original world will be synchronized with his, whether he stays in the space or goes to other worlds to do missions.

This feature is very useful. If the time is out of sync, several years might have passed on Li Haotian's side, while only a few days have passed in this world.

He doesn't know how long he'll have to wait to be ordained.

Thinking of this, Li Haotian immediately picked up the phone, pressed his master Qing Songzi's number, and dialed it.

Doodle

Soon, the phone rang.

At this moment, Qing Songzi, who was still at Mingtai Temple, had only been gone for a few seconds since Li Haotian left.

When Qing Songzi heard the phone ring, he looked at the caller ID but saw no number. Somewhat puzzled, he assumed it was a scam call and didn't answer.

"Sorry, the number you dialed is temporarily unavailable..."

The call didn't go through, and Li Haotian roughly guessed what had happened. He figured his master didn't know it was him calling and hadn't answered because it was an unfamiliar number.

"Never mind, I'll talk to Master when I get back."

Helpless, Li Haotian had no choice but to give up and then picked up the wishing charm.

The wishing charm allows him to choose his next mission world according to his own wishes.

After thinking it over, Li Haotian realized that what he needed most right now was to improve his own strength.

There are two ways to improve one's strength: one is to cultivate magic and improve one's cultivation level, and the other is to learn more martial arts.

So, Li Haotian tore the wishing charm to pieces and then said:

"I hope that in the future, there will be someone to teach me how to practice magic and learn martial arts to improve my overall strength."

After Li Haotian finished speaking, the wishing talisman flashed with a faint golden light and then disappeared.

"Ding, the wishing charm has received the host's wish and is currently filtering events. The host's next mission will take you to a world where the host can make a wish."

After the voice from the space sounded, Li Haotian breathed a sigh of relief. He was afraid that before he could make a wish, another request would come.

Fortunately, this time the request wasn't in such a hurry.

Li Haotian then took out the holiday talisman and tore it into pieces.

Instantly, a powerful golden light engulfed it.

With a blink of an eye, Li Haotian returned to his residence in the backyard of Qingsong Temple, the same place where he had disappeared before. This time, he returned at night, only a few seconds after he left.

Since it was night, Li Haotian didn't disturb Qingsongzi immediately, but instead got a good night's sleep.

The next morning, Li Haotian found Qingsongzi.

After seeing Li Haotian, Qing Songzi looked him up and down and felt that the boy was a little different from yesterday, but he couldn't quite put his finger on what was different.

"Master, did you receive my call last night?"

Li Haotian asked Qing Songzi.

"I did receive a call, but I thought it was a spam call and didn't answer. I didn't expect it to be you calling."

"If there's anything you need, just come and tell me. Why call? It's pointless and unnecessary."

Upon hearing Li Haotian's words, Qing Songzi rolled his eyes at Li Haotian and said...

Even after the renovation, Mingtai Temple isn't very big. It's just a short walk to his residence. Li Haotian still has to make phone calls; he must be really bored.

Li Haotian smiled but didn't say anything. He naturally wouldn't say that he was making a call from across the world.

However, it's still necessary to let Qing Songzi answer the call from the space, otherwise the time won't be synchronized.

"Master, I need your help with something."

"I have a special situation and need you to stay on the phone."

You don't need to worry about the phone during this time; just keep it connected. Of course, I'll call the temple's landline, but nobody uses that number anyway, so just leave it on after you answer.

Li Haotian scratched his head and said.

This request was indeed quite strange. After hearing it, Qing Songzi stared at Li Haotian for a long while before nodding in agreement.

"Alright, you're being so mysterious, I don't know what you're up to. It's no big deal for me to help you with this little thing."

Although Qing Songzi didn't ask why, he imagined a lot of things and nodded in agreement.

Seeing that Qing Songzi agreed, Li Haotian smiled. Sure enough, his second master was the best to him.

He then thought about the world he was about to enter, where he would likely need to learn from others, so he asked Qing Songzi:

"Master, if I'm in another place, can I become an apprentice to someone else?"

After all, he had already become Qing Songzi's apprentice. If he wanted to learn from others, he would still need to ask Qing Songzi for permission.

"Of course you can. I don't have that many rules here. Although you can only take one master, it's not forbidden to learn from others. In fact, I hope you will learn from others more."

“When I was learning Taoism from your master, every year after the harvest season, he would send us down the mountain to travel around and visit masters to learn Taoism. So I know a little bit of the skills of various schools.”

"I, an old Taoist priest, am not fortunate enough to meet a true master, nor do I have the opportunity to cultivate magic. Since you have this opportunity, you must make good use of it."

Besides, I can't teach you anything right now. If you can find a master to learn from, that's your good fortune, why would I stop you?"

Qing Songzi said with a smile.

If Li Haotian has any opportunity to learn something truly valuable, then maybe he can benefit from it as well.

Seeing that Qing Songzi didn't care and even encouraged him to learn more, Li Haotian felt reassured.

"Master, I'd like to go back and visit my parents for the next few days before coming back."

Li Haotian continued.

He'd been in the mission world for so long and was starting to miss home. Now that he was back in his hometown, he could go straight back to see his parents.

"Okay, that's fine. Go back and see your parents. Remember what happened when you became their apprentice and what happened to you. Don't tell your parents, they won't feel at ease if they know."

Qing Songzi nodded, then gave instructions.

It wouldn't be good to involve Li Haotian's parents if he really got into trouble.

"I see."

Li Haotian nodded.

Even if Qing Songzi doesn't say anything, he won't mention the space to his parents for the time being.

His parents are just ordinary people and can't help him much. Knowing this will only increase their worries and troubles. They'll deal with it later.

After chatting with Qing Songzi for a while, Li Haotian packed his things and took a taxi home.

Because Li Haotian had called in advance, his mother was already waiting at home.

"Son, you're back. Are you hungry? I've already made dinner."

Seeing Li Haotian enter, his mother greeted him with a smile.

Li Haotian smiled too. Feeling the warmth of home, Li Haotian suddenly felt even more motivated.

He must live well and strive to become an immortal in the future, for his own sake and for his parents'!

His father returned that evening, and the family had a lively meal together. Li Haotian returned to Mingtai Temple the next day.

Upon returning, Qing Songzi immediately pulled him mysteriously to the backyard.

"Come, come, come and take a look. These are some ancient books that I asked those old guys for last night."

Here, these are all photos. Print them out and take a good look. See if any are useful.

Qing Songzi held up her phone and then handed it to him.

Li Haotian took the message and saw that it was full of photos, all of them yellowed pages of ancient books that looked very old.

"I'll go there again tomorrow and try to get more photocopies. I reckon those old men have quite a few good things on them."

By the way, keep the magic seal I gave you safe. You can use it when drawing talismans or performing spells; it's a real antique.

Even those old fogies from Maoshan only have two left."

"I'm very proud of myself," said Qing Songzi.

Although he was the youngest disciple of his master, he was also the most favored.

So his master left him most of the magical artifacts and ancient books. After his fellow disciples passed away one after another, he also recovered some of them, so he had quite a few good things in his possession.

But now it all benefits Li Haotian.

Li Haotian sent all the photos to his phone and then printed them out at the printer in Mingtai Temple.

These photos comprise five books in total: two on cultivation techniques, one on talismans, and one recording strange tales and anecdotes, with numerous annotations.

Li Haotian is now a cultivator, so he can naturally distinguish whether the cultivation methods in these ancient books are genuine or fake. These books are truly valuable, not the common, mass-produced items found elsewhere.

Although Qing Songzi's words were simple, Li Haotian knew that Qing Songzi must have used a lot of persuasion to get them.

The fact that his master was willing to swallow his pride and ask others for help is truly remarkable.

Li Haotian silently made a mental note of it.

Li Haotian didn't waste his remaining day of holiday; he learned some legwork skills from Qing Songzi.

Although Qing Songzi was not a martial arts master, he had learned a few moves from those martial arts masters when he was young. When the two sparred, even Li Haotian, who had practiced Sanda, was caught off guard and took a few punches.

Keep in mind that Qing Songzi is over 70 years old now, and his skills are still impressive, which shows how formidable he must have been in his youth.
