Under One Person: I can manipulate magnetic fields!

The person he missed the most was Guan Shihua; he could never forget her after they met.

“The good-for-nothing Shi Hua’er will naturally come. After all, Old Master Lu has a good relationship with Liao Hu Zi from the Northeast. Shi Hua’er is Liao Hu Zi’s last disciple.”

Father Wang shook his head slightly.

Why is this kid so spineless?

……

The old city of Sijiu, National Peking University.

"I've finally finished the classes. I've learned quite a lot in the past two and a half years."

Chen Yuan pushed up his glasses, which had no lenses, and wore a shirt and trousers, looking quite like an intellectual youth.

Although two and a half years later, he was only fifteen years old, but his physique was already like that of an adult.

"No wonder, Zhang Zhiwei is only two or three years older than Lu Jin, but one looks like an adult and the other looks like a child. When one's life cultivation is high, one does look much more mature."

Chen Yuan muttered to himself.

"Brother Yuan, it's Grandpa Lu's 80th birthday in a month. My master and I are going to go and see him. Do you want to come along?"

A chubby young man with a buzz cut and wearing a black Zhongshan suit, leaning against the door, spoke calmly.

This young man was none other than Liu Deshui of Yanwu Hall.

Because Yanwu Hall was located in Beijing, and given Chen Yuan's relationship with Liu Changqing, he would often visit Yanwu Hall. Over time, he got to know Liu Deshui.

He would spar with the disciples of Yanwu Hall whenever he had free time. Yan Chidan, the head of Yanwu Hall, would often invite him to join Yanwu Hall, but he always politely declined.

He had little interest in Yan Wutang's methods.

"The Lu family's birthday banquet? Deshui, you're not kidding me, are you?"

Chen Yuan's eyes lit up immediately upon hearing this.

Good heavens, he's finally got what he's been waiting for.

I'm kind of looking forward to it; I think I'll get to meet Zhang Zhiwei then.

Moreover, Master Zuo had promised him that he would take him along.

It seems he'll have to return to Hangzhou and then visit Master Zuo at Sanyi Gate in Fujian.

"Brother Yuan, why would I lie to you? Heh, I've wanted to test Lu Jin of the Sanyi Sect for a long time."

Liu Deshui snorted.

He still felt somewhat resentful when he thought about how he had been rejected by the San Yi Sect.

What gives Li Muxuan and Lu Jin the right to be together?

He will show Master Zuo that he misjudged him back then.

"Deshui, then good luck with your studies. University is about to have its summer break, and I'm planning to go back too."

Chen Yuan shrugged.

In the past two and a half years, after learning the technique of astral projection from Granny Liu, he found that after astral projection, his cultivation of Granny Liu's spiritual techniques seemed to become faster.

The milky-white divine pill in his mind had also grown much larger. His current divine sense power was extremely strong, even reaching the level of Mei Jinfeng's innate mental power, which allowed him to move objects with ease.

If applied to spells, talismans, or magical artifacts, it has a greatly enhancing effect.

Most importantly, in the past two and a half years, he has learned the secret arts of preservation in the Great Cave True Scripture, and now he can transform into the Fire Official Emperor at will.

"With utmost sincerity, I take refuge in and pay homage to the Fourth Rank of Qian Yuan, the Examiner of Fire. His influence supports the strength of Qian, and his virtue harmonizes with the brightness of Li. He resides in the crimson heaven of the sun, and oversees the register of life in the Left Treasury. His great virtue resides in fire, and the Flaming Emperor holds the balance!"

He only needs to silently recite the Fire Official's Precious Proclamation and grasp the Fire Official's Divine Seal to enter a state of divine transformation.

"Moreover, I have already mastered the Li Fire Divine Transformation among the Five Elements Divine Transformations taught to me by Master Zuo. Hehe, flames are plasma, and they have a miraculous effect when combined with my Reversal of Eight Directions."

Chen Yuan revealed a sly smile.

Plasma has high conductivity and the ability to respond to magnetic fields, making it faster and more energy-efficient than simply using lightning.

Although it's not as direct as the Golden Escape Flowing Light technique, it saves on true qi, which is quite useful in combat.

"What are you two talking about? But, it's been a few months, and you seem to have grown taller, and you're wearing glasses without lenses now. You're getting more and more flamboyant!"

Just then, a teasing voice came from behind, and a smart young man in a black suit walked towards Chen Yuan and Liu Deshui. It was Lu Sheng.

"Brother Lu, what brings you here?"

Chen Yuan looked puzzled.

After he came here to study, Lu Sheng visited him many times, and through him, he also became acquainted with Liu Deshui.

The three of them have a pretty good relationship.

"Brother Lu!"

Liu Deshui scratched his head and looked at Lu Sheng in front of him.

"Of course it's up to you guys. Ugh, damn it, just thinking about that Yuan Shikai silver dollar makes me angry. I followed him back then because I thought he had great ambitions, but now it seems I misjudged him. That guy actually..."

Lu Sheng snorted, his face full of displeasure.

"Brother Lu, let's not talk about that for now. Since we've come all this way to Beijing, let's go eat Peking duck. The time before last we went to Quanjude, and the last time we went to Bianyifang. This time let's go to Tianyifang!"

Chen Yuan's eyes darted around, and he quickly stopped Lu Sheng from continuing.

After all, this is a university.

If these students hear some of what Lu Sheng said and it gets out, that would be bad.

After all, he knew exactly what Yuan Shikai was thinking, because he was a time traveler, and Yuan Shikai wanted to be the emperor.

It's fair to say that Yuan Shikai's actions in reversing course are quite baffling.

"Alright then, I'll tell you two about the Yuan Shikai silver dollar in a bit."

Lu Sheng stroked his chin and said.

This kid's got money. He'll definitely treat us to Peking duck and stuff. It's pretty cool to eat for free.

"Tianyifang's roast duck tastes pretty good."

Liu Deshui also pushed up his glasses and smiled.

The reason he often followed Chen Yuan was not only because Chen Yuan was powerful, but also because following Chen Yuan meant he could always eat and drink for free.

Although his family was quite wealthy, he was not the only child in the family, so his allowance was obviously less than that of Chen Yuan, who was the only son in the family.

Following Chen Yuan's lead, he also gained a lot more fat.

"Tianyifang's roast duck uses a secret medicinal seasoning, which can also replenish some qi and blood."

Chen Yuan grinned.

When it comes to Peking duck during the Republic of China era, Quanjude, Bianyifang, and Tianyifang were the most famous.

Quanjude's hanging oven roasted duck needs no introduction, but Bianyifang's roasted duck was established during the reign of Emperor Yongle. It is characterized by its closed oven roasted duck, which is golden in color and tender in texture.

Tianyifang was founded during the reign of Emperor Jiajing. The name itself is clearly rich in Taoist characteristics, as Feiyuan Zhenjun was a devout follower of Taoism.

Therefore, Tianyifang uses the Taoist concepts of "harmony between man and nature" and "favorable timing, advantageous location, and harmonious relationships" to prepare secret seasonings and make special roast duck with health-preserving functions.

This gimmick is quite good.

Speaking of ducks, he recalled watching a short video before, in which Emperor Qianlong also seemed to enjoy eating duck.

When it comes to being inhumane, the Jiajing Emperor and the Qianlong Emperor are quite similar. They are both clever, but they don't use their cleverness to do good things, which is quite ironic.

"I have to treat them again this time. These two guys are really shameless. They remind me of the 'my money' meme."

Chen Yuan muttered to himself.

However, as the son of a wealthy merchant who was the only son in his family, he naturally had more money than he could ever spend.

Even if you're a spendthrift, as long as you don't invest recklessly, you could probably easily spend decades or even centuries.

The three left the university campus and soon arrived at a private room in Tianyifang.

"Tsk tsk, don't you know how to have your own love life? Those girls were pretty, with their little skirts and braids."

Lu Sheng winked and made faces.

"Brother Lu, you must be joking. I'm so young, I don't have that kind of thought."

Chen Yuan waved his hand.

"Yes, Brother Lu, how are things going on your end? Why did you suddenly come to Beijing? You must be very busy lately."

Liu Deshui chuckled.

As a disciple of the Yanwu Hall, he naturally paid close attention to national affairs at all times, after all, the purpose of establishing the Yanwu Hall was to save the country.

Liu Changqing is a representative of this group.

"Damn it, what else could it be? Humph, that Yuan Shikai guy actually wants to be emperor! I'm not working for him anymore! Do you think that guy's brain's gone mad? He's actually going backwards!"

Lu Sheng rolled his eyes and roared with a look of utter disappointment.

That's absolutely outrageous.

The Qing Dynasty was already over, yet they still wanted to do this. He must have been blind to follow Yuan Shikai.

"Become the emperor? Brother Lu, you did the right thing! There's no need to suffer under that Yuan Shikai. A true man lives between heaven and earth; how can he live a life of melancholy and subservience to others!"

Chen Yuan chuckled and casually used a line from the story of Lu Bu, the traitor who served three masters, to encourage Lu Sheng.

Lu Sheng did the right thing.

According to the history he knew, not long after Yuan Shikai declared himself emperor, he apparently died of illness.

Following Yuan Shikai's lead, there's really no future in it.

This guy has been emperor for less than 100 days.

"You're right, kid. A real man lives between heaven and earth; how can he live a life of mediocrity and subservience to others?"

Lu Sheng laughed heartily.
