Under One Person: I can manipulate magnetic fields!

"Sir, you know?"

Chen Yuan was taken aback.

Goodness, it seems Mr. Xu knows everything.

"Of course, I have also come into contact with some, besides those who practice Buddhism and Taoism, there are quite a few in the martial arts world as well."

Mr. Xu smiled.

Like Chen Yuan, he also came from a wealthy family; otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to study abroad.

Wealthy people will naturally come into contact with powerful people; this is called mutual benefit.

"Sir, then you..."

Chen Yuan looked puzzled.

"In the future, if possible, I would like to ask you to help those progressive people. Of course, I also hope that you can become one of them, but..."

A hint of helplessness flashed in Mr. Xu's eyes.

Over the years, he had noticed some clues; this child loved freedom too much.

They may not necessarily want to join an organization.

However, he felt it would be great if this child could contribute to the new era.

"Ahem, sir, as you know, I don't like being restrained."

Chen Yuan also said.

Chapter 148 Shangqing Disciples! (Second Update)

"Don't worry, I just hope you can help out when the time comes, I'm not forcing you to join them."

Mr. Xu said calmly.

"Yes, sir!"

Upon hearing this, Chen Yuan breathed a sigh of relief.

"Well, in that case, let's call it a day. I have a few math-related books here; take them and have a look. I know you have a great talent for math. It's a pity that no one has published them in China yet; these are my own translations."

Mr. Xu took out an English translation of "Elementary Calculus" and some other mathematics-related books, and smiled.

He actually had more faith in Chen Yuan's talent for scholarship than in him becoming an extraordinary person.

"Calculus? Wow, I really miss it."

Chen Yuan was taken aback.

Fortunately, as a science student, he was quite familiar with these things, and the book was actually quite good.

When he was studying Qimen Dunjia, he discovered that mathematical knowledge was very helpful in learning Qimen Dunjia and improving his ability to make predictions.

Let's just treat it as a review.

Moreover, the ability to reverse eight directions can actually utilize a lot of knowledge from physics and mathematics, so in this respect, the upper limit of this ability is certainly not low.

After all, the limits of physics are terrifying.

The invention of the atomic bomb is also closely related to physics.

"It would be a bit difficult for me to build an atomic bomb, but continuing to improve the power of the Reversal of Directions should be no problem. Once I explore stronger powers and methods, I can fight Zhang Zhiwei for three hundred rounds."

Chen Yuan thought to himself.

"Chen Yuan, you should go back first. By the way, Lu Sheng is in Beiping. He said if you want to join the army, you can go to him."

Mr. Xu said calmly.

He actually hoped that Chen Yuan would first go to university for further studies, preferably abroad, to learn more, and then choose to become an extraordinary person or join the army, or something like that.

"Sir, I understand what Brother Lu Sheng said. Hehe, I'll head back now."

Chen Yuan put the bag into his bag and then turned to leave.

Did Lu Sheng ask him to join the army?

Joining the army would be a game-changer for him, but he had no desire to join the Beiyang Army or anything like that.

At that time, Chiang Kai-shek will destroy the Beiyang warlords. Although he can live a carefree life for more than ten years if he goes there now, it won't do him any good.

It would be best to write a letter to remind Lu Sheng to leave the Beiyang Army.

"Young Master, you've finally come out. All the other children have left. Why does the teacher always leave you alone?"

Butler Pei looked at Chen Yuan, who had just come out, and complained.

"Old Pei, it's because the master likes me. Anyway, let's go home first."

Chen Yuan shrugged and then got into the carriage.

"Tch, young master, I don't believe your nonsense!"

Steward Pei rolled his eyes at him, and he followed him into the carriage.

"Mr. Xu's foreign language skills are really high, and the translation looks pretty good. Speaking of which, English courses in the Republic of China era seem to be much better than those in modern times. I feel that my spoken English is much better than it was in my previous life. After all, English classes in modern society are just pedantic and word-by-word, and what you learn is worse than not learning at all."

Chen Yuan sat in the carriage and opened the book "Elementary Calculus" that Mr. Xu had given him. As he read, he couldn't help but miss life in the 21st century.

Although he was a pampered young master during the Republic of China era, his life still felt inferior to that of modern society.

There are no video games, and you can't even watch short videos.

"Modern society is definitely better."

Chen Yuan stroked his chin.

At this moment, a series of noisy sounds came from outside the carriage, including the shouts of vendors, the arguing of some people, and many street performers.

"Huh? An extraordinary person? But it shouldn't be the method of the Fire Virtue Sect. The Fire Virtue Sect converts true qi into flames. This guy only has true qi flowing in his body. His method of breathing fire is to use external force. Could he be a disciple of the Jiyun Society?"

Chen Yuan looked out of the carriage and saw a young man with a bowl cut not far away performing a "fire-breathing" trick. There was a faint flow of true qi in the man's body.

Under his "Qimen Manifestation Technique," it is still quite easy for extraordinary people to be detected.

The things these sorcerers practice are indeed good, even though they're just the basic stuff.

However, the "qi-observation" function of this method is quite powerful in some respects.

Wow, that's amazing!

"It can actually breathe fire?"

"fantastic!"

The people around were captivated by the fire-breathing trick and clapped their hands.

"Young master, look at that fire-breathing magic trick outside, it's truly spectacular! Wow, this young man is amazing."

Butler Pei was also watching the young man performing magic tricks outside with great interest, his face full of amazement.

"That's quite interesting."

Chen Yuan narrowed his eyes and said.

This magic trick didn't use any supernatural methods, so in his eyes it was just ordinary juggling.

In the martial arts world, magic tricks, as a special kind of supernatural art, are not as well-known as famous schools of thought such as Buddhism, Taoism, and traditional martial arts, nor do they have a fixed sphere of influence like those of shamans or spirit mediums.

However, there are many schools of thought that can master magic tricks, and they are widely distributed. Some of the relatively rudimentary techniques can even be said to have very low barriers to entry. But this special school of supernatural arts can be called the most worldly and oldest method in the circle of supernatural beings. In fact, for a considerable period in the real world, "magic tricks" were synonymous with the term "supernatural being".

"Old Wang's 'Reversing the Eight Directions' technique can be considered a derivative of magic tricks, but it's many times more powerful than this kid's fire-breathing."

Chen Yuan smiled to himself.

"By the Supreme Lord Taiyi, how could we be so unlucky? Hey, Senior Brother Xuancheng, who stole our money pouch? We're broke now, what are we going to do?"

Not far away, a handsome young Taoist priest was looking down at a round-faced young Taoist priest with a bitter expression.

"Junior Brother Zibu, it's all my fault. I didn't expect to lose my things here. I'll see if I can run into any fellow practitioners and borrow some money."

The round-faced Taoist priest also gave a wry smile.

It's utterly shameful that two cultivators like them had their things stolen.

If their master finds out, I wonder how he will punish them.

"Huh? These two Taoist priests, and the other one is talking about Junior Brother Zibu. Could these two be disciples of the Shangqing Maoshan Sect? And that Junior Brother Zibu, could he be Zheng Zibu, one of the Thirty-Six Thieves of the future?"

Chen Yuan looked surprised.

After becoming an Outcast, his five senses naturally improved significantly.

Hearing the sounds from afar was still quite easy, especially since there was genuine Qi flowing around these two people, which he could see at a glance using his Qimen Manifestation Technique.

I never expected to run into Zheng Zibu here. This kid is Zheng Zibu, who has mastered one of the Eight Extraordinary Techniques, the Tongtian Lu. It wouldn't be bad to get to know him.

Chapter 149 To have a Dharma partner, wealth, and land, you need money! (First Update)

"Senior brother, it's not your fault. Who would have thought that someone could steal money bags from us cultivators?"

Zheng Zibu touched the back of his head, his face full of bitterness.

What bad luck!

But it seems there's not much that can be done.

However, the moment he looked up, he suddenly saw the disciples of Jiyun Society performing the Three Immortals Returning to the Cave not far away.

"Senior brother, look over there. They seem to be disciples of the Jiyun Society. We can ask them to borrow some silver dollars."

Zheng Zibu's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly said.

"A fellow member of the Jiyun Society? Junior brother, if they were rich, would they need to set up a stall to perform for money?"

Xuan Cheng gave a wry smile and looked at the young man from the Jiyun Society.

Since that disciple of Jiyun Society is performing for money at a stall, he probably doesn't have much money on him.

They're going to stay here for several days, and the person on the other side might not be able to help them much.

"It seems that these two Taoist priests from the Shangqing Maoshan School also had their wallets stolen."
