One person: Starting with the Rumble-Rumble Fruit, his grandmaster uncle emerges from seclusion.

He turned and walked towards a small shop not far away, waving his hand as he went:

"I'm going to buy some water, Master Dao is dying of thirst."

Watching Zhang Tianyi's departing figure, Wang Ye looked at the Old Master with a somewhat bewildered expression:

"Master, who is this...?"

"Heh, just a naughty family member."

The old celestial master didn't offer much explanation, but simply looked at Wang Ye with a smile:

"Young Wang, now that you're here, take a stroll around the mountain. This old man has high hopes for you at this Luo Tian Grand Ceremony."

"No, no, no, you're flattering me too much."

Wang Ye instantly reverted to his lazy demeanor, scratching his head: "I'm just here to join in the fun and make a living, I didn't expect anything."

……

On the other side, the convenience store.

"Boss, a Coke, ice cold! A big one! And two bags of potato chips, and a big bucket of popcorn."

Zhang Tianyi leaned over the counter, pointing and gesturing.

"Alright! Chenghui, one hundred and eighty!"

The shop owner handed over the items with a smile.

"Tao Shao?!"

Zhang Tianyi's sunglasses almost fell off as he pointed at the pile of snacks: "One hundred and eighty? Is your cola made of gold or were these potato chips fried in Laozi's alchemy furnace?"

"Hey buddy, this is a tourist attraction! And it's during the Luo Tian Grand Ceremony! These prices are all clearly marked!"

The boss was perfectly justified.

"Fine, you win."

Zhang Tianyi gritted her teeth and took out her phone. Luckily, Rong Shan had just transferred some pocket money to her that morning.

"It's only because I'm rich now, otherwise I would have struck this shady shop with a bolt of lightning..."

After paying, Zhang Tianyi, carrying a large pile of snacks, walked towards the back mountain while drinking a bottle of "Noble Cola" worth thirty yuan and grumbling.

He left the hustle and bustle of the front mountain behind.

For him, neither the so-called inspection by leaders nor the opening ceremony of the Luotian Grand Ceremony could compare to going back to his room, enjoying the air conditioning, WiFi, and playing games while drinking cola.

As for that "King of Wudang"...

Zhang Tianyi glanced back, a faint smile playing on his lips.

"Feng Hou Qi Men..."

"This generation of young people is quite interesting."

"However, compared to those old guys back then, they're still a bit lacking."

Chapter 17 Who is Zhang Pikachu?

The venue for the Luotian Grand Ritual was located in a natural valley on the back of Longhu Mountain.

The surrounding stands, built along the mountainside, were already bustling with people.

People from all over the country gathered together; some were dressed in Taoist robes, some in suits and ties, and some were dressed in bizarre ways.

The air was filled with various fluctuations of Qi, and the noisy discussions were even more lively than the vegetable market down the mountain.

"Everyone! Silence!"

With a loud announcement, several figures slowly took their seats on the high platform in the venue.

At the very center, naturally, stands the unparalleled master of the world, the Old Celestial Master Zhang Zhiwei.

He was dressed exceptionally formally today, his yellow robe with gold thread gleaming in the sunlight.

That kind and benevolent smile would make anyone who saw it exclaim, "What a virtuous and genuine person!"

To the left of the old master is Tian Jinzhong, who is sitting in a specially made wheelchair being pushed by Xiaoyuzi.

On the right are some representatives of the Ten Elders.

"Sister Bao'er, please help me find it!"

In the contestant area below the stands, Zhang Chulan craned his neck, like a startled groundhog, desperately trying to see the high platform.

"I've looked around, and all ten elders are seated. Where's the Second Master?"

Zhang Chulan was sweating profusely with anxiety.

This is his biggest trump card!

If he wants to roam freely in the mountains, he has to rely entirely on this newly recognized ancestor.

With such a grand opening ceremony, shouldn't the junior disciple of the Celestial Master sit next to him and receive the worship of the masses?

Why is there not even a trace of them?

"I didn't see it."

Feng Baobao held a freshly gnawed ear of corn in her hand and shook her head expressionlessly.

"That smell... I don't know where he is. But he's definitely here. The thunderous aura in these mountains... is much stronger than before."

"It's over, it's over..."

Zhang Chulan's heart skipped a beat. "Could it be that Second Master overslept? Or was he bored and didn't come? If so, then my status as the Crown Prince will be unverified?"

Just as Zhang Chulan was pacing around in a panic.

In a corner not far behind him.

A voice filled with the aroma of grease suddenly rang out:

"Smack...smack...Boss, this sausage is a bit too salty. I'll have to use less sauce next time."

This is a young man who looks extremely "energetic".

If Zhang Chulan were to turn around and look closely at this moment, even with his extremely strong observational skills, he would probably find it difficult to connect the person in front of him with the majestic and domineering "Tian Shu Zhenren".

At this point, Zhang Tianyi was no longer the handsome and otherworldly figure he once was.

He used a disguise technique to slightly alter his appearance.

Her eyes have become smaller, her cheekbones have become higher, and she even had a mole on her chin that looks rather lewd.

He looked ordinary, even a bit shifty-eyed.

But what's most unbearable to look at is his outfit today.

He was wearing an outrageously tight yellow T-shirt.

The Pikachu on his chest, which was originally cute, looked distorted and ferocious due to his strong pectoral muscles.

She wore a pair of black slim-fit cropped trousers that hugged her thighs tightly, with the cuffs rolled up high to reveal her smooth ankles.

On her feet, she wore a pair of shiny red loafers studded with rhinestones.

This outfit is the "socialite" spirited young man suit that dominated the internet short video industry from 2015 onwards for several years!

"How tacky... Who is this guy?"

"Stay away. He's obviously a thug from some nobody gang. His taste is just awful."

The strange people around them cast disdainful glances and subconsciously moved to the side, as if afraid of being infected by this "rustic" air.

Zhang Tianyi, however, didn't care at all.

He held a sizzling, oily sausage in his hand, took a bite, and his mouth was full of oil.

"Tch, a bunch of bumpkins who've never seen the world."

While chewing on a grilled sausage and shaking his leg, Zhang Tianyi looked at his senior brothers and junior brothers sitting upright on the high platform, and his heart was filled with joy.

"What's the point of sitting up there? You're treated like a clay idol, being worshipped without even getting a hot sausage."

"It's more comfortable down here, and I can even watch a show while I'm at it."

"Don't you understand the concept of 'playing dumb to fool others'? Don't you understand the concept of 'going on a secret mission incognito'?"

Zhang Tianyi even hummed a little tune smugly, his loafers tapping rhythmically on the ground.

Just then, the old Celestial Master Zhang Zhiwei on the high platform stood up.

The entire room fell silent instantly.

"Cough cough..."

The old master cleared his throat, and his seemingly cloudy eyes slowly swept across the entire audience.

That invisible pressure made every young person present feel a sinking feeling in their heart, as if they were being pressed down by a mountain, and they didn't even dare to breathe.

This is the pinnacle!

Under One Person!

Zhang Zhiwei's gaze wandered aimlessly through the crowd, as if he were inspecting his troops.

Sudden.

His gaze lingered on a corner in the southeast.

That's where Zhang Tianyi, the "spirited young man," is located.

Even though Zhang Tianyi used a disguise technique, even though he dressed up like this, it didn't matter.

But for his senior, who grew up with him and even helped him wash diapers, it was a different story.

That lazy yet irritating aura ingrained in his bones would be recognizable even if he were reduced to ashes.

Especially that Pikachu that was stretched out of shape...

"puff……"

The old master's face, which was usually extremely serious and about to deliver an important speech, suddenly twitched uncontrollably.
