Under One Person: I, Jiaqian Jushi, work from nine to five.

Seeing how much Zhang Lingyu had changed in such a short time, he felt that his decision to send Zhang Lingyu down the mountain and pack him up to send him to Zhou Fengliu's vicinity was the right one.

...

Listening to the old master recount Zhou Fengliu's story, Tian Jinzhong nodded, then sighed:

"That child is indeed a promising talent..."

As soon as he finished speaking, Rong Shan emerged from not far away and walked over, looking at him very respectfully and addressing him as "Uncle-Master." Then he turned his gaze to the old Celestial Master beside him and said:

"Master, Zhang Chulan has arrived. He says he wants to see you..."

Chapter 473 Past Events, Did the Old Celestial Master Force Lu Jin to Cry with a Fighting Fan? (Second Update)

"Oh?"

Upon hearing of Zhang Chulan's sudden visit, the Old Master raised an eyebrow slightly, sensing that this kid's arrival was bound to bring trouble.

"What is he here for?"

"I said... I missed you," Rongshan said truthfully.

Upon hearing Rong Shan's answer, Tian Jinzhong, who was standing to the side, looked at the old Celestial Master and immediately asked:

"Senior brother, Huaiyi's grandson finally gets to see you, won't you let him?"

"Um..."

The old celestial master thought for a moment, then asked Rong Shan, "Is it just him?"

"No, there's another little girl who participated in the Luo Tian Grand Ceremony before... I think her name is Feng Baobao."

Hearing Rongshan's reply, the old master nodded: "Alright, let them both come up."

"okay."

After receiving the old master's reply, Rong Shan disappeared from the pavilion. Not long after, he arrived here with Zhang Chulan and Feng Baobao.

Seeing that the Old Master and Tian Jinzhong were both there, Zhang Chulan addressed them both warmly as "Master" twice, then shamelessly added:

"My two advisors, I have several cartloads of things I'd like to tell you both."

"..."

Hearing Zhang Chulan's ill-intentioned remarks, the Old Master interrupted him, saying:

"Stop! Swallow all that nonsense you've been spouting and get to the point..."

Ah this.

Faced with the old celestial master's blunt words, Zhang Chulan, who had been preparing for a long time, paused for a moment, and then sighed:

“Master, since you’re being so direct, I’ll be frank too… My lightning magic has reached a bottleneck, and the improvement in its quality is getting slower and slower… it’s almost stagnated.”

Hearing Zhang Chulan's words, the old Celestial Master stroked his beard and then said:

"So...you've come here to ask me for the complete Thunder Technique?"

"How is that possible... Only a Celestial Master can master complete thunder magic."

Faced with the old master's words, Zhang Chulan hurriedly shook his head in denial, then paused and said:

"Although it's only half of the Thunder Technique, I feel... the upper limit of Yang Five Thunder shouldn't be what I am... I dare to experiment with the variations of Thunder Technique on my own, but I dare not practice the fundamentals haphazardly..."

"I came to you today hoping you could give me some pointers."

After listening to Zhang Chulan's request, the Old Master frowned, then looked at Zhang Chulan and commented:

"You're really shameless. I gave you a chance before, but you didn't take it. Now you're all over me asking me to give you pointers..."

"Not teaching..."

Hearing the old master's heartless rejection, Zhang Chulan pounced on him, kneeling before him and grabbing his leg, pretending to cry as he said:

“Master, if you don’t teach me, I really will have no one to consult. You know, my grandfather passed away early, and I don’t have any relatives. Last time I came, I truly believed that you and Master Tian were my own grandfathers…”

Faced with Zhang Chulan's shameless pleas, before the Old Master could even express his opinion, Tian Jinzhong spoke up on Zhang Chulan's behalf:

"Senior brother, don't be so harsh. Chu Lan is, after all, a disciple of our Celestial Master's Mansion. Giving him a few pointers won't kill him..."

"..."

"Master Tian!"

Hearing Tian Jinzhong speak up for him, Zhang Chulan found his direction and attacked from both sides...

"Alright, sit down first."

Seeing Zhang Chulan's shameless behavior, the old master sighed helplessly.

He gestured for Zhang Chulan to sit down, then slowly began to speak:

"Your thunder magic was passed down from your grandfather, but your grandfather's actions don't conform to the rules of Longhu Mountain. Do you know why your grandfather was able to cultivate thunder magic?"

"Eh? I really don't know." Zhang Chulan shook his head.

Upon hearing that Zhang Chulan was unaware of this matter, the Old Master recounted a story from decades ago.

Listening to that story, Tian Jinzhong, who was standing to the side, seemed to be moved as well, a glint of something deeper flashing in his eyes...

Speaking of Zhang Huaiyi's mastery of thunder magic, one must mention the Lu family of yesteryear...

When the patriarch of the Lu family celebrated his 80th birthday, he also took the opportunity to pass on the position of family head to his junior, Lu Xuan. Therefore, he invited many friends from the industry to the birthday banquet to witness the event.

The Celestial Master's Mansion, the Sanyi Sect, and many other prominent and righteous sects gathered together.

At that time, the old Celestial Master was still alive. He was quite troubled by his disciple, who had been too successful and had never suffered any losses.

Just then, someone suggested that the younger generation give him a chance to practice, so the old Celestial Master took this opportunity to find Zuo Ruotong, the head of the San Yi Sect, and Lu Xuan, wanting to have the outstanding young talents from other sects teach the old Celestial Master a lesson...

At that time, Lu Jin also joined the Trinity Sect, and everything went smoothly for him, which made him a bit arrogant.

Upon hearing the old Celestial Master's idea, Zuo Ruotong and the other two hit it off immediately. They both wanted to find a defeat for their own disciple so that the younger generation would understand the meaning of "there are always people more capable than you" and "there is always something beyond your understanding".

And so, during the juniors' rehearsal the next day, the old master ran into Lu Jin...

As for the result... without a doubt, the old master won.

Not only that, it was a crushing victory.

When the old master forced Lu Jin to fight, he slapped the young Lu Jin until she cried in front of everyone.

Because of this competition, the Celestial Master was invincible among his peers, so the Grand Celestial Master decided to personally train a disciple in the Celestial Master's Mansion who could be evenly matched with him.

And this apprentice... was Zhang Huaiyi.

Three years.

The old Celestial Master personally trained Zhang Huaiyi for three years...

He even taught Zhang Huaiyi the Five Thunder Orthodox Method, but it still wasn't enough for Zhang Huaiyi to defeat the Old Celestial Master...

...

After hearing this story, Zhang Chulan stroked his chin.

For some reason, he always felt that the Old Celestial Master's invincible style was somewhat similar to someone else's...

Like who?

Um...

Zhou Fengliu?

It seems so, both are invincible among their peers, both start with a provocative attack...

"what's on your mind?"

Seeing Zhang Chulan's thoughtful expression, the Old Master asked a question.

"Ah, I wasn't thinking about anything, I was just still caught up in the battle between my advisor and my grandfather... It was truly impressive, a battle that we younger generation can only dream of..."

Zhang Chulan snapped out of his daze and showered Zhang Chulan with compliments.

...

Faced with his flattery, the old master jokingly said:

"Zhang Huaiyi learned thunder magic just to strike me, and now his grandson wants to learn thunder magic too. What? You want to strike me too?"

"You want me to teach you personally... that's a bit much."

Seeing the old master squinting at him, Zhang Chulan declared that he was a law-abiding citizen.

"My strategist, you are my own strategist, how could I possibly chop you up?"

After listening to Zhang Chulan's words, the old master was silent for two seconds, and then said:

"Fine, don't say I didn't give you a chance. Zhang Huaiyi was tested before learning thunder magic. Today... if you want to learn thunder magic, you'll also have to be tested..."

"test?"

"What test?"

Zhang Chulan swallowed hard as he watched the old master point at him.

He had just finished asking his question when Rong Shan reappeared at the pavilion and interrupted their conversation:
