One person: Twelve talismans, starting by beating up the old Celestial Master.

Seeing this, Lu Linglong smiled, easing the awkwardness of the situation.

"Master Lingyu, the Lu family sent me to participate in this Luo Tian Grand Ceremony."

"If we really end up facing off, don't let Ling Feng's presence distract you from the fight!"

Zhang Lingyu nodded upon hearing this.

"Miss Lu, please rest assured, I will do my best."

After chatting for a while longer, Zhang Lingyu got up to leave.

My dear, there is more to come after this chapter. Please click on the next page to continue reading. There will be more exciting chapters later!

"Seriously, Senior Brother Lingyu? At least have dinner together before you leave!"

Zhang Lingyu smiled and shook her head.

"No, I still have many people I haven't notified."

"Junior Brother Ling Feng, Miss Lu, I'll be waiting for you at the Celestial Master's Mansion."

"Goodbye, Junior Martial Uncle, Miss Lu."

Zhang Lingyu performed a fist-and-palm salute, while Ye Xing and Ji Yun bowed deeply to Zhang Lingfeng.

Zhang Lingfeng and Lu Linglong returned the greeting with clasped hands.

After seeing the three off, Zhang Lingfeng smiled and pulled Lu Linglong into his arms.

"Let's continue."

Hearing this, Lu Linglong's face instantly turned bright red, and she lightly patted Zhang Lingfeng.

"Continue my ass! Don't even think about it!"

Zhang Lingfeng tilted his head to look at Lu Linglong, who had a shy expression, and then reached out to touch her forehead.

"You don't have a fever, so why are you talking nonsense?"

"I said, tell me again how your great-grandfather handed over the Tongtian Scroll. What's going on in your little head?"

Lu Linglong coughed lightly, feeling embarrassed.

"Oh, you're talking about my great-grandfather? I thought you were talking about my great-grandfather."

"You know my great-grandfather's personality. Given his relationship with your master, he would definitely lend a hand for a grand event like the Luo Tian Grand Ceremony."

"When he was at the Lu family's house, he said something to your master on the phone, something about not letting the other families succeed so easily."

"I feel that my great-grandfather meant to broaden the selection pool for this year's Luo Tian Grand Ceremony."

"As Master Lingyu just mentioned, he still needs to go to other families to notify and invite talented young people to participate in the Luo Tian Grand Ceremony."

Hearing this, Zhang Lingfeng nodded.

"This Zhang Chulan, I never thought he was anything special before."

At this moment, Lu Linglong whispered to Zhang Lingfeng...

"Perhaps it's related to the fact that he is the inheritor of that Qi Body Source Stream. The Quanxing demons captured him because of this technique."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Lingfeng immediately snorted coldly.

"I don't care if it's the source of Qi or whatever."

"The position of Celestial Master is not a game. Even if I don't fight for it, I will not allow it to be handed over to an outsider who suddenly appears."

Chapter 37 Returning to Longhu Mountain to Prepare for Tian Jinzhong's Treatment

next day

Zhang Lingfeng planned to return to Longhu Mountain first, since he now possessed the healing ability of the Horse Talisman.

Lu Linglong's previous urge to self-harm and drain all her blood has disappeared thanks to his healing abilities.

This filled Lu Linglong with horror.

After all, in her words, this almost pathological mentality had haunted her ever since she witnessed her mother's murder when she was a child.

This is also why she ultimately failed to become a disciple of the Tengshan Sect.

The reason she became a lay disciple of the Quanzhen School was that Master Lu hoped she could enhance her self-control by improving her cultivation of life force.

However, Lu Linglong knew in her heart that these things only treated the symptoms, not the root cause.

Temporary suppression cannot solve the problem.

But under Zhang Lingfeng's treatment, she was shocked to find that her heart was now filled with sunshine.

All those self-harming thoughts I had before have disappeared.

She asked Zhang Lingfeng incredulously how he did it, and he simply patted her head affectionately.

"In that case, you should be able to use your blood control ability freely without worrying about backlash, right?"

Lu Linglong nodded happily.

"That's right, not only that, but I felt so much lighter after those strange thoughts disappeared."

Zhang Lingfeng chuckled.

"Come with me back to Longhu Mountain. I need to treat Uncle Tian's damaged meridians and limbs."

…………

By this time, the two had arrived at the foot of the front mountain of Longhu Mountain, carrying large and small bags of snacks.

These snacks were bought by Zhang Lingfeng for his fellow apprentices, since he had promised them something.

However, the two were stopped by a young staff member.

"Wait a minute, are you two planning to set up a stall in Longhu Mountain with all those bags and packages?!"

"We don't allow street vending here. What if someone gets sick from eating there? Who's going to take responsibility?"

Hearing this, Zhang Lingfeng sighed helplessly.

"Friend, I'm going home, not setting up a stall."

"These things are all for my junior apprentices."

But the young man wasn't buying it at all.

"Are you kidding me? You brought way too many snacks, and the tickets for two cost 260 yuan."

But before the man could finish speaking, a crisp snap was heard.

A middle-aged man struck the young man on the back with a rubber baton.

"Hey? It's Captain Wang. Perfect timing, they..."

But before he could finish speaking, he was dumbfounded. The captain he had mentioned was grinning at the two of them.

"Master Lingfeng, you've come home! Please come in!"

This middle-aged man was the same staff member who initially thought Zhang Lingfeng was a fraud; he had even received a golden light array talisman generously given to him by Zhang Lingfeng.

It was precisely because of this talisman given to him by Zhang Lingfeng that he gained the appreciation of the officials of Longhu Mountain, who promoted him to captain without regard to seniority.

He spotted Zhang Lingfeng and Lu Linglong from afar while leading the patrol, and he rushed over in a flurry.

I had just expressed my gratitude for their recognition and support when I overheard my subordinates making things difficult for them.

This infuriated the uncle. He thought that making things difficult for the person who had helped him in his life was just asking for trouble!

"Zhao Laosi, quickly apologize to the Taoist priest!"

"He's a high-ranking master from the Celestial Master's Mansion of Longhu Mountain. Do you even know the significance of the Celestial Master's Mansion's Jade Wind Twin Masters?!"

Upon hearing this, the young man immediately broke out in a cold sweat.

Seeing his disheveled appearance, the middle-aged man seemed to see his younger self in him.

"Taoist Master, please come inside. How can you charge admission fees at your home?"

"Come on, you lot, quickly help the Taoist priest and that young lady carry their things!"

The middle-aged man shouted for his men to come and help, but Zhang Lingfeng just smiled and waved his hand.

"No need, you all have your own jobs, and besides, this thing isn't heavy."

With that, he waved his hand and went up the mountain with Lu Linglong.

Watching the two figures disappear into the distance, the middle-aged man patted the young man, who was drenched in sweat from fright.

"Luckily I arrived just in time. Remember to be more polite next time."

"Don't even mention that this is a high-ranking official from our Celestial Master's Mansion. Even if it were an ordinary person, if they wanted to set up a stall, we'd let them."

Upon hearing the middle-aged man's words, the young man nodded hurriedly.

…………

At this moment, Zhang Lingfeng and his companion were surrounded by a group of disciples from the Celestial Master's Mansion, who all happily bowed to them.

"Greetings, Junior Martial Uncle; greetings, Miss Lu!"

"Junior Uncle, you're finally back! These are the snacks you mentioned before!"

"The advisor, Old Master Lu, and a few of the Ten Elders are discussing matters in the pavilion behind our mountain."

Zhang Lingfeng looked puzzled upon hearing this.

"Wow, the other members of the Ten Elders are here too?"

One of the disciples shook his head.

"No, Junior Uncle, those who came this time include Elder Wang Ai, Elder Lü Ci, Chairman Feng of the World Society, Sect Leader Chen of the Art Sect, and Mr. Mu You of the Jianghu Inn."

Zhang Lingfeng responded with an "oh" and then looked at Lu Linglong with a mischievous grin.

"I have a feeling they're plotting something shady."

Lu Linglong couldn't help but purse her lips when she saw his expression.

"Stop it! Don't make fun of my great-grandfather!"
