Under One Person: I can manipulate magnetic fields!

Chen Yuan smiled to himself.

On this trip to Longhu Mountain, I expect to encounter even more extraordinary individuals from various sects than at the Lu family's birthday banquet.

The Republican era was the peak period for supernatural beings. The War of Resistance against Japan had not yet begun, and sects like the Three Demon Sect had not yet been wiped out.

It was a time of great flourishing, and the Tang Sect was at its peak during this era, with several masters having mastered the Dan Shi technique.

In the modern era, apart from Yang Lie and Xu Xin, no one from the Tang Clan has mastered the Dan Shi technique. However, these two rose to prominence during the Republican era.

Swish!

Just as Chen Yuan was passing through a grove of trees, he suddenly saw three strange figures. The three were dressed in gray-blue Taoist robes and consisted of an old man and two children.

The three men's eyes gleamed with divine light, clearly indicating that they were experts.

"Hmm? They look like someone from the Xuanmen sect, but I wonder if they're from the Zhengyi or Quanzhen sects?"

Chen Yuan was quite curious.

Zhengyi and Quanzhen were naturally the two most mainstream factions of this era, and many sects were derived from both Zhengyi and Quanzhen.

The most famous talismans of the Three Mountains are the Zhengyi sect's Celestial Master's Mansion, Shangqing sect, and Lingbao sect, while the Quanzhen sect has sects such as Baiyun Temple and Wuliu sect.

However, most of the Zhengyi sects are located in the south, while the Quanzhen sect is generally more prevalent in the north.

"Hey? You're interesting, kid!"

Just then, a voice like that of a mischievous old man came from behind. The bearded old Taoist priest laughed loudly and suddenly stretched out his large hand, and a strange power suddenly struck.

Chen Yuan, who was using the Golden Escape technique to move at full speed, was instantly pulled down by a force.

"Uncle-Master, why did you pull him down? That's very impolite."

Seeing this, one of the young Taoist priests, with thick eyebrows and lips, stared at Chen Yuan with curiosity, and then said to Xuan Yangzi.

“Yes, Uncle-Master, they are on their way. It’s beneath you to do that.”

The short, somewhat toad-like young Taoist priest also muttered something.

"Liu Dongyang, Fang Dongtian, you know nothing. I invited this young friend down for a chat because I found his escape technique quite peculiar. Judging from his posture, he seems to be on his way to the Luo Tian Grand Ceremony. Young friend, may I ask your name? I am the old Taoist Xuan Yangzi, from the Quanzhen Baiyun Temple."

Xuan Yangzi said with a smile.

The young man in front of me is light in stature and light in breath, and he is a top-notch talent who has cultivated both internal and external strength. It's just a pity that this young man seems to have been cultivating for many years.

It would be great if we could bring them into Baiyun Temple.

"This humble Taoist priest is Liu Dongyang!"

"This humble Taoist is Fang Dongtian!"

The young Taoist priest and the teenage Taoist priest also spoke up.

"What?! The Quanzhen Baiyun Temple, wow, and Fang Dongtian too? Isn't that kid Lu Jin's future best buddy?"

When Chen Yuan heard the name Quanzhen Baiyun Temple, his eyes lit up immediately. When he heard the name Fang Dongtian, he was even more surprised.

After all, although Quanzhen Baiyun Temple is low-key, it is still a sect of the same level as Tianshi Mansion. One represents Zhengyi, and the other represents Quanzhen.

Fang Dongtian goes without saying, but his lifespan was rather short; he didn't even outlive Lu Jin.

It seems that although the alchemy method is powerful, it may not be as effective as the Reverse Rebirth Triple Stage in terms of survival.

"My name is Chen Yuan, and I have no affiliation with any sect or school."

Chen Yuan clasped his hands in a respectful gesture and said.

The old Taoist priest in front of him was a senior figure in the Taoist sect, so he naturally dared not act rashly.

Born into a wealthy merchant family, he never made any mistakes in etiquette after transmigrating.

"Eh!? You're the Chen Yuan who defeated Lu Jin in one move, and also defeated Senior Brother Zhang from the Celestial Master's Mansion, the one known as the 'Thunder Fist Madman'?"

Fang Dongtian stared wide-eyed, his face filled with astonishment.

Good guy!

What a coincidence that we ran into each other here.

"What Thunder Fist Maniac? What kind of title is that? I've never heard of it."

Chen Yuan was dumbfounded.

Having a title means you've indeed become famous, but this title is just too awful.

Consider that Yuan Jingui's name, Changming Yegan, is not a good name, but it comes from the Zen Buddhist concept of "Yegan Ming".

The cry of the yak is a term used in Zen Buddhism to criticize the boastful pronouncements of those who have not attained enlightenment. The yak is a small, fox-like wild animal whose cry symbolizes the falsehoods of those who have not achieved enlightenment.

In his recorded sayings, Zen Master Yixuan, the founder of the Linji school, warned students against clinging to names and forms, using the phrase "wearing the skin of a lion, yet singing like a jackal." This emphasized the core Zen doctrine of self-confidence, independence, and direct pointing to one's true nature. This phrase is frequently used to criticize heterodox views and has become a typical example of the Linji school's "striking and shouting" teaching method.

There's no need to elaborate on Wang Yaozu, the "ghost hand," which refers to his unpredictable and divine abilities that allow him to reverse the eight directions.

The fact that Zuo Menzhang is called "Da Ying Immortal" indicates that he is powerful and has the appearance of an immortal.

But here comes this madman with Thunder Fist. Where can you even begin to reason with him?

"As expected of the Thunder Fist Madman, your life cultivation is quite good. I, on the other hand, have cultivated the alchemy method, cultivating both body and mind, which is why I have achieved my current level of life cultivation."

Liu Dongyang also carefully examined Chen Yuan before speaking.

The title "Thunder Fist Maniac" truly suits him perfectly.

Legend has it that Chen Yuan was able to control lightning magic and was also an amazing fist fighter, proficient in Bajiquan, Piguazhang, and other styles. He had also killed two evil men from Quanxing, the two brothers Zhao Lihuo and Zhao Tianzhen, who were Taoist priests from Maoshan.

Moreover, I heard that these two died a very tragic death, and that Chen Yuan was said to be extremely arrogant, which is why he had this name.

"..."

Chen Yuan looked depressed.

That nickname is really awful.

"Young friend, if I'm not mistaken, you're also going to the Luo Tian Grand Ceremony, aren't you? Why don't we go together?"

Xuan Yangzi said with a smile.

This kid doesn't seem to have any connections.

Rumor has it that this kid obtained Zuo Ruotong's reverse life inheritance, making him the only one who didn't join the Third Order but still learned reverse life.

This shows just how talented this kid is; otherwise, Zuo Ruotong wouldn't have achieved this.

Moreover, he also had a little ulterior motive: if this kid could join their Quanzhen Sect...

"Since you have invited me, senior, I am naturally willing."

Chen Yuan had no choice but to nod.

Although he was a little unhappy, he still agreed.

The main reason was that he was also quite interested in the alchemy of the Quanzhen School. Although he had practiced the alchemy method given to him by Granny Liu, it seemed to be just a method for tempering one's spiritual sense.

It is different from the complete method of cultivating both body and mind.

"Ahem, Uncle-Master, I'd like to test my skills with Brother Chen."

At this moment, Liu Dongyang suddenly coughed and looked at his uncle Xuan Yangzi and Chen Yuan.

After all, he was somewhat dissatisfied with Chen Yuan.

Chapter 400 The Sky-Piercing Cannon! (Second Update)

"You want to test your skills against young friend Chen? That's quite interesting."

Upon hearing this, Xuan Yangzi revealed a strange expression.

Chen Yuan is indeed no simple character, and even he couldn't fully fathom the depth of this kid's abilities. This kid has even condensed a portion of divine sense.

They're already showing signs of refining Qi into spirit.

"Master Liu Dongyang, would you like to test your skills against me?"

Chen Yuan was also somewhat surprised.

It seems I am indeed a bit hated; everyone wants to test their skills against me.

Zhang Huaiyi had wanted to test his skills against me on the way here.

"Uncle-Master, I want to too!"

Fang Dongtian also hurriedly shouted.

He was actually a little itchy to do it too.

After all, this guy is known as the Thunder Fist Maniac, and he wanted to see just how strong this guy really was.

"This……"

Seeing that both Liu Dongyang and Fang Dongtian wanted to fight Chen Yuan, Xuan Yangzi was in a bit of a dilemma.

"How about the two of you work together? I'm not bragging, but with my strength, I should be able to take on both of you by myself."

Just then, Chen Yuan smiled.

This wasn't arrogance on his part, but rather absolute confidence in his own abilities. Among his peers, the only one who could be compared to him was probably that guy Zhang Zhiwei.

To be honest, he didn't really take the others seriously.

"you!?"

Upon hearing this, Liu Dongyang and Fang Dongtian were dumbfounded.

They were both top disciples of Baiyun Temple, and usually others would challenge them, but this bastard actually made them both attack together.

They clearly look down on them completely; they are incredibly arrogant.

"This kid is really arrogant, but that's normal. What kind of young man wouldn't be arrogant? Hehe, I was quite arrogant when I was young too."

Moreover, if this kid could defeat Zhang Zhiwei, he should have no problem dealing with these two reckless brats. It'll be a good opportunity to hone their skills and show them what it means to be outmatched.

Xuan Yangzi pondered to himself.

He thought it was worth a try regarding Chen Yuan's suggestion.

Moreover, he quite liked Chen Yuan's personality.
