No, where does this portal come from?

Looking up at Lin Yan in front of him, Zhang Zhiwei's originally serious face gradually became kind.

"Young man, do you know where this is?" Zhang Zhiwei waved at Lin Yan and asked softly, with an extremely kind expression on his face. He looked like an old man in the park.

Lin Yan walked to the figurine cabinet, his eyes constantly looking at Zhang Zhiwei.

He remembered that the old Tianshi figurine he bought at that time was not as finely crafted as it is now.

As we all know, although the details of domestic figures are getting better and better, the details are still unsatisfactory.

It’s not as realistic as it looks now.

Hey! Just like a living person!

While being amazed, Lin Yan did not forget to answer Zhang Zhiwei's question. He looked at Zhang Zhiwei and answered truthfully: "Old Heavenly Master, this is my home."

Zhang Zhiwei was not surprised to hear Lin Yan's answer.

Although he is old, he is knowledgeable. Although the decoration in front of him is not quite the same as his impression, he is naturally very clear that everything in front of him should be modern decoration.

The glowing screen not far away should be a computer.

But... why is this computer different from the one I saw?

Aren't computers supposed to be bulky, like "big-butt TVs"?

Although there are doubts in my heart, this is not the point.

The key point is where this is.

And why did I come here?

"Young man, do you know me?" Zhang Zhiwei looked at the 'giant' in front of him who was much bigger than himself and continued to speak.

"I know you. Your name is Zhang Zhiwei. You are the 65th generation Heavenly Master of the Heavenly Master House in Mount Longhu, one of the Ten Masters, with the Taoist name Tiantong. You are the best among the "One Best and Two Heroes".

You are also the senior brother of Zhang Huaiyi, the source of Qi body among the Thirty-Six Thieves, and the master-mentor of Zhang Chulan.

Each of the ten disciples under my tutelage is an outstanding figure!"

"Especially Zhang Lingyu! At such a young age, he's already brought the Tianshi Mansion's signature skills to prominence! Of course, it would have been even better if he hadn't met Xia He..."

"The origin of Zhang Huaiyi's Qi body... Zhang Chulan? Xia He?" Zhang Zhiwei narrowed his eyes slightly when he heard what Lin Yan said.

How did the person in front of me know about the origin of Qi and my junior fellow apprentice?

Also, Huaiyi actually has a grandson?

What's going on with Lingyu and Xiahe?

All kinds of doubts arose in Zhang Zhiwei's mind, and his attitude towards the person in front of him became more cautious.

In the timeline that Zhang Zhiwei is in now, Zhang Lingyu has not yet been deflowered by Xia He, and he does not know that Zhang Huaiyi has a grandson named Zhang Chulan, and his junior brother Tian Jinzhong is not dead either.

Lin Yan's words brought him a lot of information.

But based on his ability to judge people, he knew the man before him wasn't lying...

This shows what?

Could it be that I have traveled to the future?

Even though he thought so, Zhang Zhiwei suppressed the restlessness in his heart that had not appeared in a long time and continued to ask: "You said... Huaiyi actually has a grandson?"

"...You still don't know?"

"According to you, I should know?" Zhang Zhiwei looked at Lin Yan in confusion.

"You'll know in the future."

"Oh? The future?...You can figure out what will happen in the future? Are you a sorcerer?" Zhang Zhiwei glanced at Lin Yan in surprise.

Only first-rate sorcerers would engage in the art of divination.

But when it comes to things that will happen in the future, even he has never heard of it.

After all, how could someone possibly figure out something as elusive as the future? How could someone calculate everything in just a few seconds?

"My identity will be kept secret for now, but I can tell you that I do know what will happen in the future." Lin Yan said mysteriously.

"Oh? Tell me."

"I'd like to hear what you have to say about the future." Zhang Zhiwei guided calmly.

Unfortunately, Lin Yan would not fall for this trick, and he immediately put forward his own request.

"Old Heavenly Master, this is not very honest of you...how can you get something for nothing?!"

"Well, you can ask me three questions about the future, but after that you have to teach me the Golden Light Mantra."

"Of course, you can rest assured. I'm not from your world, so there's no such thing as traditional master-disciple relationship."

"I just want to exchange things for things." After saying that, Lin Yan opened the curtains and let Zhang Zhiwei look through the glass at the buildings and scenery that were completely different from those in China.

Outside the window, smoke of various colors leaks out from the crisscrossed, corroded and aging smoke exhaust pipe network, filtering the light from above into strange colors and cross-reflecting between the colored glass of the workshop.

The drifting alchemical mist, the slightly steam-like buildings, and the various different people on the streets all looked so strange.

Zhang Zhiwei was silent for a moment and nodded slowly.

It’s not an illusion…there is no Qi flowing.

The idea of ​​another world should be true.

After all, there are no such exaggerated mechanical prostheses and such exaggerated human body modifications in the world he lives in.

Since things like other worlds exist, then the future theory is somewhat possible.

The Golden Light Curse is nothing special, and the other party doesn’t want thunder magic.

If what the other party said about the future is true, then this deal will definitely not be a loss.

"I agreed."

"Then please ask."

Zhang Zhiwei did not waste any time and asked the questions one by one.

[1-Where is Zhang Huaiyi's grandson now?]

[2-What will happen between Zhang Lingyu and Xia He?]

【3-What will the future be like?】

In response to Zhang Zhiwei's questions, Lin Yan answered them one by one very straightforwardly.

However, before answering, he had to determine what time period the old Taoist priest was in.

"Old Heavenly Master, could you please tell me how old Zhang Lingyu is now?"

"sixteen…"

"Oh~~Is that so?" Lin Yan raised his eyebrows slightly.

It turns out that the plot of the comic has not yet begun, no wonder the old master cares so much about these issues.

"...According to this timeframe, Zhang Huaiyi's grandson should be in City Z now and will go to Nankai University in the future."

"Zhang Lingyu will lose his virginity during a training trip down the mountain in the last few years, preventing him from cultivating the Yang Five Thunders. This incident will become a knot in his heart."

"I can only tell you part of the future... that is, the Eight Great Techniques will reappear, many people will investigate the Jiashen Rebellion, and because of something, you will be imprisoned forever on Longhu Mountain."

After answering all Zhang Zhiwei's questions in one breath, Lin Yan extended his hand to Zhang Zhiwei: "This is what the future holds for me. Now, can you teach me the Golden Light Mantra?"

Chapter 4 Empowerment

Faced with Lin Yan's unreserved request, Zhang Zhiwei also responded very generously.

He waved gently towards Lin Yan.

When Lin Yan came up to him, Zhang Zhiwei stretched out his index finger and gently touched Lin Yan's forehead.

Immediately afterwards, a golden light flowed from the fingertips into Lin Yan's body, circulating through the meridians in his body with the Tiangang Great Circulation.

At the same time, Zhang Zhiwei's indifferent voice rose from Lin Yan's heart.

The Golden Light Mantra not only utilizes Qi to operate in a specific way, but also requires practice in conjunction with the mantras contained therein. Only then can it be the true Golden Light Mantra.

[Exposure to the 'Golden Light Mantra']

The Golden Light Mantra, one of the eight sacred Taoist mantras, originates from the orthodox Taoist practice system, dating back to the founding of the religion by its founder, Zhang Daoling. Its incantation embodies the core Taoist concept of "cultivating both the body and the mind," serving both as a protective tactic and as a foundation for inner cultivation.

A small degree of success can make the body glow with golden light and regulate the mind.

At the highest level, one can transform golden light into a physical form, store it within the body to protect the tendons, veins, and internal organs, and the seven emotions will not be affected by ordinary forces.

['Golden Light Mantra' can be used for Primal Empowerment at a cost of 100 Empowerment Points, or Chaotic Empowerment at a cost of 50 Empowerment Points.]

[After spending one hundred empowerment points on original empowerment, you will directly possess the minor success stage of the 'Golden Light Curse' and it will not be forgotten.

After spending one thousand empowerment points on the original empowerment, you will directly possess the "Golden Light Curse" at the great success stage and will not be forgotten.

Note 1: Chaos Arcane can be performed after the original Arcane. Both Arcane and Chaos Arcane can exist at the same time, but the negative/positive characteristics will directly affect the overall effect.

[After Chaos Empowerment, positive or negative random characteristics will appear. If you are not satisfied with the additional characteristics, you can spend more Empowerment Points to re-empower (the cost increases exponentially).]

"So not only items can be empowered, but even spells can be empowered?"

"One hundred power points are all I have now. If I spend fifty points on Chaos Power and it generates a negative attribute... I won't even have the money to power it again."

After thinking for a moment, Lin Yan made a quiet decision.

'Empower the 'Golden Light Mantra' with its original power.'

The words fell.

The empowerment points on the panel were immediately cleared.

At the same time, the golden light flowing in the body instantly grew stronger from the silk thread!

In the blink of an eye, golden light took shape! Qi flowed!

Zhang Zhiwei, who was helping Lin Yan learn the Golden Light Mantra, naturally felt the unusual movement in Lin Yan's body!

There was a strange look in the old eyes.

When the Golden Light Mantra reached a small level of success, Lin Yan slowly opened his eyes.

"Is this Qi? It feels good..."

"I don't know what it feels like after practicing the so-called thunder method."

Thinking of this, Lin Yan looked at Zhang Zhiwei and spoke again: "Old Heavenly Master, how about I reveal another secret of the future to you, and you teach me half of the Thunder Technique?"

"Oh? You still want the Thunder Technique?" Zhang Zhiwei raised his drooping eyelids and looked Lin Yan up and down. "Since you know my identity and even if it's only half a step to the Thunder Technique, you should also understand that the Thunder Technique is practiced by those who are qualified to inherit the position of Heavenly Master, right?"

"Of course I know, that's why I said I want to make this deal with you." Lin Yan smiled: "But you can rest assured, you will definitely not lose out by using Thunder Magic to make this deal."

"After all... this concerns the life of your fellow apprentice Tian Jinzhong..."

"!!!"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Zhiwei's eyelids suddenly widened.

What will happen to Junior Brother Tian in the future?

After weighing the pros and cons, Zhang Zhiwei uttered two words: "Tell me."

Seeing that Lin Yan didn't answer, he spoke again: "Don't worry, I agree with what you said."

After hearing Zhang Zhiwei's personal promise, Lin Yan finally spoke: "In the future, Tian Jinzhong will die on the last day of the Luotian Grand Ceremony in 2015. He will be killed by Gong Qing, the acting head of Quanxing, who goes by the alias 'Xiao Yuzi'!"

After Lin Yan finished speaking, Zhang Zhiwei narrowed his eyes thoughtfully.

Looking up at Lin Yan who was staring at him, he raised his hand slightly and pointed down.

The Qi circulation route belonging to the Thunder Method flowed into Lin Yan's mind.

Soon, Lin Yan digested the Qi circulation route.

After the message was delivered, Zhang Zhiwei extended his index finger and tapped Lin Yan's forehead: "Young man, I don't know your name yet?"

"Hi! I was so busy talking to you that I forgot! Old Master, my name is Lin Yan, and I'm also Chinese." Lin Yan smiled and introduced himself.

"Since you are Chinese and have learned the Golden Light and Thunder Methods, we must become closer in the future..."

"Of course, of course! I'd like to ask you more about cultivation in the future." Lin Yan once again showed his shameless nature.
