Perfect: Many children, many blessings! Join the chat group!

Inside the Celestial City.

Zhu Chen led Xiao Yan and Qing Yi through the crowd and straight to the teleportation array leading to the Five Elements Continent.

After paying some spirit stones, the three of them stood on the teleportation array and began to wait for the array to activate.

Xiao Yan, who had been holding back all the way, finally couldn't help but ask Zhu Chen, "Brother, who is this 'Wilderness' you were talking about with Qi Daolin? I've never heard you mention it before."

Zhu Chen smiled and said, "Huang is Shi Hao, didn't I mention him in the group chat?"

"What?"

Xiao Yan's eyes widened instantly: "Shi Hao? You mean you're going to introduce Shi Hao to that old man as his disciple?"

Zhu Chen shrugged: "Yeah, is there a problem?"

"Of course there's a problem!"

Xiao Yan looked puzzled and continued to ask Zhu Chen, "Although Qi Daolin's cultivation is not bad and he can hold his own against me for a few rounds, he has too few trump cards. His so-called Eight-Nine Heavenly Technique, which he cherishes so much, is just a flawed version of the Six Paths Reincarnation Heavenly Technique that everyone in our group knows. How can Shi Hao improve if he goes to cultivate with him?"

Upon hearing this, Zhu Chen couldn't help but shake his head: "You underestimate Qi Daolin too much."

Xiao Yan was taken aback: "What do you mean by that?"

Seeing that the teleportation array beneath his feet had not yet been activated, Zhu Chen slowly explained to Xiao Yan, "Let me ask you, when you fought Qi Daolin just now, how much of his power do you think he used?"

Xiao Yan thought for a moment, then said uncertainly, "Seven or eight out of ten? Anyway, I feel that even if he didn't go all out, it's close..."

You're wrong.

Zhu Chen shook his head and said, "He didn't intend to hurt you at the time; he deliberately held back. If the two of you had really fought, it would have been uncertain who would have won."

Xiao Yan frowned, somewhat incredulous: "Really? I felt he was just so-so."

Zhu Chen wanted to say something more, but Qingyi, who was standing next to her, suddenly spoke up at this moment: "Young Master Xiao, I do know some things about this Daoist Master Qi."

Xiao Yan turned to Qing Yi: "Oh? Then tell me about it."

Qingyi sorted out her thoughts and slowly said, "When I was at the Celestial Immortal Academy, I heard the elders mention Qi Daolin. Thousands of years ago, he was wanted by many ancient sects, led by the Immortal Palace, for spying on the secrets of various sects. Logically speaking, being targeted by so many powerful forces, he should have died long ago."

"But he not only didn't die, he's alive and well."

"And every now and then, he'll pop up and annoy those ancient religions."

"Sometimes it's stealing their treasures, sometimes it's ruining their plans."

"Those ancient sects hated him to the core, but they could never catch him."

Xiao Yan listened intently and couldn't help but interject, "To be targeted by so many forces and still survive, this guy must be quite capable."

Qingyi continued to explain, "Because every time he makes a move, he uses different techniques and special skills depending on his opponent. Some people say he is proficient in all the techniques in the world, while others say he is just pretending to be a god. But one thing is certain: to survive the pursuit of so many ancient sects until now, he is definitely not a simple person."

Zhu Chen picked up the conversation and said, "Did you hear that? The level of one's cultivation technique does not represent the strength of one's character. Qi Daolin was able to support an entire sect by himself and survive until now despite being targeted by various sects. He must have some tricks up his sleeve, otherwise he would have died long ago."

Xiao Yan was silent for a moment, then nodded and said, "Now that you mention it, that old man is indeed not simple..." Zhu Chen smiled and said, "I'm usually very good at judging people. Qi Daolin may seem carefree on the surface, but he's actually quite shrewd. He'll probably be interested in Shi Hao, since that kid Shi Hao is just as fearless as he was when he was young."

Xiao Yan's lips curled into a smile: "Interesting. Now I'm actually looking forward to seeing what happens after that kid Shi Hao becomes Qi Daolin's disciple."

Zhu Chen looked at Xiao Yan and teased, "Actually, I think it's good that Qi Daolin looks so much like your teacher. You could become his disciple here. At least that way you'd have another sect leader-level helper, right?"

Xiao Yan was stunned for a moment, then said, "You know what, that old man really does look a lot like my teacher. At first, I thought my teacher had also transmigrated here."

Zhu Chen said, "Then why don't you acknowledge him as your teacher? As the saying goes, having more teachers means having more options, and this won't do you any harm..."

Xiao Yan waved his hand: "Forget it, my strength is what it is now, he's not qualified to be my teacher."

Zhu Chen raised an eyebrow: "What? Now that you've become a Dou Di, do you think you're above everyone else?"

Xiao Yan quickly denied it: "No, no, I was just stating the facts. He has nothing to teach me..."

Zhu Chen looked at him with a half-smile: "You've been getting a bit cocky lately, kid. Be careful, don't become the next Tang San..."

Upon hearing the name 'Tang San', Xiao Yan's expression changed instantly.

He waved his hands repeatedly, saying, "Big brother, please don't curse me. Even if I, Xiao Yan, die and am completely annihilated, I would never become that kind of disgusting person..."

Qingyi, standing to the side, asked curiously, "Who is this Tang San you're talking about? Why do you all sound like you dislike him?"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yan immediately perked up: "Miss Qingyi, you've come to the right person! Tang San is an absolute gem!"

He cleared his throat and began to vividly recount his story: "This guy is a time traveler. He originally had the mindset of a thirty-something-year-old adult, but he transmigrated into the body of a child. Then he started acting young and cute, using hidden weapons to ambush others and calling it 'tactics.' The most disgusting thing is that while he was saying 'Don't kill,' he was beating people half to death with hidden weapons..."

"And there's something even more outrageous. He keeps saying he loves his woman, Xiaowu, but then he'll say things like, 'If Xiaowu dies, I'll marry Zhuqing,' making himself out to be a romantic hero when he's just a hypocrite..."

"And then there's his teacher, Yu Xiaogang. Although he's not exactly a genius, he taught him for many years and almost gave him the Ten Years of Guzhu Bamboo. But after Yu Xiaogang's strength improved, he just turned his back on him..."

Perhaps because he disliked Tang San, Xiao Yan deliberately embellished his introduction of him.

After listening, Qingyi's expression immediately became extremely interesting.

She exclaimed incredulously, "How can there be such a shameless person in this world?"

Xiao Yan slapped his thigh: "Right, right? You also think that guy is disgusting, don't you?"

Zhu Chen smiled silently, listening quietly as Xiao Yan 'whipped' Tang San's corpse.

Just then, the teleportation array beneath their feet suddenly lit up with a dazzling white light.

The formation is about to be activated.

next second.

The three of them were then engulfed by a burst of white light and vanished from their spot in an instant.
