The Wudang Junior Master

Chapter 215 The Old Master's Promise

"Hey~"

The old Taoist priest put down his legs, shook his head and sighed, "When I get old, my legs and feet just don't obey me. My hands are down, but my feet are up. It's really... Wuling, are you okay?"

It’s okay, I’ll treat you to LyoLiumui next time!

Zhang Wuling climbed up, covering his cheek with a big footprint. He really didn't expect that the old Taoist priest would attack him when he was not prepared.

The centenarian had no moral principles and actually attacked a twenty-year-old boy!

Zhang Wuling wanted to protest, but when he thought about the gap in strength between the two sides, he decided to face reality and endure hardships.

So, Zhang Wuling ran to the old Taoist priest with a flattering smile on his face, "It's okay, it doesn't hurt at all. If you like, come, do this side of your face too, so that it looks more even. It's good for the elderly to move their legs more."

As he spoke, Zhang Wuling moved his other face forward, with an attitude of letting himself be dealt with.

The old Taoist priest was stunned, and his squinting eyes couldn't help but widen a little.

Holy shit! Is this kid really that shameless?!

He originally thought that Huaiyi's grandson Zhang Chulan was shameless enough, but he didn't expect Zhang Wuling to actually...

Well, if you think about it carefully, they may be similar, a pair of Crouching Dragon and Phoenix Chick.

The old Taoist priest was silent for a moment, then said, "Wuling, you're not criticizing me, are you? If you have anything on your mind, just speak up. I'm not unreasonable."

"No, absolutely not!" Zhang Wuling shook his head like a rattle. "I have nothing but infinite respect for you in my heart. How could I possibly have the slightest criticism? That's absolutely impossible!"

"Hmm~~~" the old Taoist priest stretched out his nasal tone and did not comment.

"Alright, now that the fight is over, let's get down to business. What exactly brought you here to see me this time?"

"Well, what else could it be? Those six demon kings."

Zhang Wuling brushed the dust off his face and said, "Although you said that the six demon kings have restrictions in their bodies and cannot kill people, these six guys are still very troublesome."

"This time on the mission to Nasen Island, I was one against three, and I was able to manage to contain and suppress them. But if I were to encounter all of them next time, I'm afraid I'd be in a very awkward position. So I wanted to ask you, is there any way to restrain or suppress them?"

The old Taoist priest stroked his beard and said, "So it's because of this..."

"Correct."

"Actually, there is a way," the old Taoist priest said, "The best way is to improve your own spiritual cultivation. Of course, I know that such matters cannot be rushed, and you didn't come here to hear this."

"So there are two other ways. One is to learn related techniques that can restrain them, and the other is to obtain more powerful magic weapons."

"Although we cultivators value the Dao over the techniques, techniques are essential for us cultivators to protect our own lives or to support our families."

"Among the techniques, besides suppressing one's life cultivation, many also involve restraint. I'm sure you understand the principle of the intergeneration and mutual restraint of all things in the universe."

Zhang Wuling nodded. Of course he understood these things.

It's like throwing away your life's cultivation, playing with fire will most likely be restrained by playing with water. The theory of the five elements' mutual generation and mutual restraint is so clear that even ordinary people can explain it one by one, not to mention Taoist priests.

In fact, warlocks understand this best.

It’s like when Zhuge Qing saw that his fire was blocked by Wang Ye’s wood, he looked so shocked because it violated the principle of generation and restraint.

But to be honest, apart from the cultivation of life and death, there are also differences in the level of skills.

However, the difference in the level of these techniques will be affected by human factors.

Just like the splitting palm is definitely not as powerful as the thunder method, but if it was Zhang Zhiwei who practiced the splitting palm, then the situation would be hard to say, and it might even be the other way around.

But between Zhang Zhiwei who practices the Air-Splitting Palm and Zhang Zhiwei who practices the Thunder Method, regardless of winning or losing, who will have the advantage?

The old Taoist priest continued, "As for magic weapons, I don't need to explain them in detail. Although they are external objects, powerful magic weapons are indeed of great help to people. Their power cannot be ignored."

Zhang Wuling asked, "So, you want me to find the 'technique' and 'treasure' to restrain the six demon kings?"

"That's right. This is the best option when your life cultivation can't leap forward for the time being."

"Then what technique should I learn and what kind of magic weapon should I find?"

The old Taoist priest looked at Zhang Wuling and said with a smile, "In fact, you have learned quite a few techniques. For example, Tai Chi and Dan Sword, if you can reach the realm of transformation from mortal to saint, even a few more of the six demon kings will not be your opponent."

Zhang Wuling understood and said, "So you want me to find a magic weapon?"

The old Taoist priest stroked his beard, smiled, and nodded gently: "This is the simplest and most effective method."

Zhang Wuling clapped his hands and said in surprise, "Oh, Old Heavenly Master, I was thinking the same thing. Could you please lend me a couple of these? I promise I'll return them."

The old Taoist priest was stunned: "You want to borrow my magic weapon?"

"That's right," Zhang Wuling said as a matter of course. "These six demon kings escaped from the Tianshi Mansion. Your Tianshi Mansion is vast and powerful, with many treasures. Borrowing two of them should be a piece of cake, right?"

The old Taoist priest came to his senses and pointed at Zhang Wuling, scolding him with a smile, "You cunning fellow! You're not here to ask for advice, you're clearly here to borrow the treasure."

"So, please take a look at this matter..." Zhang Wuling immediately came forward and said with a smile.

The old Taoist priest pondered for a while, as if thinking about something.

"Boy, it's not that I'm stingy, but I'm afraid you can't use the things from my Tianshi Mansion."

"Ah?" Zhang Wuling was puzzled. "Why?"

The old Heavenly Master said, "Because you are not a disciple of my Heavenly Master Mansion, let alone a Heavenly Master, if it were just an ordinary enemy, it would be fine, but the magic weapons of the six demon kings will not have much effect on them. As for powerful magic weapons... boy, do you think there will be no restrictions and everyone can use them?"

"Uh..." Zhang Wuling understood and asked, "You mean, a powerful magic weapon recognizes its master?"

The old Heavenly Master said, "I guess so. It's just like the mirror I showed you last time. Only Heavenly Masters can use it. Without the Heavenly Master degree and complete Thunder Method, even the disciples of my Heavenly Master Mansion cannot use it, let alone outsiders."

Zhang Wuling was dumbfounded. "Then, what should I do?"

The old Heavenly Master laughed and said, "Don't worry. Although you can't use the magic weapon of my Heavenly Master Mansion, as a Wudang disciple, you must be able to use the treasures of your master."

"You mean, let me go back to Wudang and ask?"

"Exactly."

The old Heavenly Master smiled and said, "Of course, these six demon kings were released from my Heavenly Master's Mansion. I let you and Wudang provide manpower, which makes me feel like I'm taking advantage of you for nothing."

"How about this, as long as you can defeat these six demon kings, I can't give you any magic weapons, but I can let you see the alchemy manual left by the ancestor. How about that?"

Zhang Wuling's eyes widened and he exclaimed in surprise, "The alchemy manual left by the ancestor Tianshi?!"

"Exactly."

"Could it be..."

"Oh, it can't be explained. Just know it in your heart."

Zhang Wuling blinked, and after calming down, he asked in a low voice, "Old Heavenly Master, is this appropriate?"

The old Taoist priest said with a smile: "What's wrong with that? You are also a disciple of my Taoist sect. I am only asking you to read the Dan Sutra, not to pass on the Taoist master's degree to you. It's okay."

Zhang Wuling excitedly punched the air and felt full of energy.

"Okay, with your words, I promise to do it beautifully!"
