Zhang Chulan entered the Celestial Master's Hall.
With a flick of his whisk, the old Celestial Master closed all the doors and windows of the Celestial Master's Hall.
Zhang Zhiwei opened his eyes and looked at Zhang Chulan.
Zhang Zhiwei chuckled and said, "You child, you didn't inherit Zhang Huaiyi's short stature."
There was no discrimination or mockery in Zhang Zhiwei's words.
It's simply narrating an event.
Zhang Chulan answered truthfully: "My grandmother is very tall, almost 1.8 meters, so my father is very tall. He did not inherit my grandfather's height."
"A small horse pulling a large cart..."
Zhang Zhiwei muttered something.
Zhang Chulan didn't hear clearly and asked Zhang Zhiwei, "Master, what did you say?"
Zhang Zhiwei said, "It's nothing. Go ahead, what do you want to ask me?"
Zhang Chulan hesitated for a moment, then said, "Master, I want to know, what kind of person was my grandfather?"
Zhang Zhiwei's thoughts.
Back to the past, "Your grandfather's name was Zhang Huaiyi. Zhang Xilin was his alias. He was my junior brother, and his talent was second only to mine."
After saying that, the old master stopped talking.
Zhang Chulan looked bewildered. "Master, that's all?"
Zhang Zhiwei nodded. "Yeah, that's all."
Zhang Chulan grew anxious and asked, "But I want to know other things too, such as why my grandfather used the alias Zhang Xilin back then, and why he left the Celestial Master's Mansion. Master, please tell me everything."
Zhang Zhiwei shook his head and said, "If you want to know these things, you can only tell you after you become the champion of the Luo Tian Grand Ceremony."
Zhang Chulan became anxious, "But, Master, you're asking me to fight against Uncle Lingyu and Jia Zhengliang and their gang? How could I possibly be a match for them?"
Zhang Zhiwei grinned mischievously and said, "I don't care. I can only tell you after you become the champion. Besides... you have the Qi Source Flow, so what are you afraid of?"
Zhang Chulan: "Master, others think so, and you think so too? I really don't."
Zhang Zhiwei said, “Whether you have it or not is not important. What is important is that you are Zhang Huaiyi’s grandson, so you ‘must’ have it. Everyone thinks so, so I brought you to the Celestial Master’s Mansion so that everyone would at least have to consider me.”
"Also, Chu Lan, I know what you want to ask. You want to ask about that little girl, right? Her appearance does resemble an old friend of mine, but I can't tell you exactly who it is. If you want to know everything, go and become the champion of the Luo Tian Grand Ceremony."
Zhang Zhiwei finished speaking.
With a flick of his whisk, Zhang Chulan was pushed out of the Celestial Master's Hall.
After Zhang Chulan left.
A voice came from behind a curtain, "This is Huaiyi's grandson, he doesn't look like him at all."
Zhang Zhiwei nodded and said, "They are somewhat different, but their personalities are very similar."
"This Chu Lan is even better at 'hiding' than Huai Yi was back then."
.........
Zhang Chulan returned to his residence somewhat disheartened.
Xu Si and Feng Baobao were already waiting.
Feng Baobao looked on with anticipation, eager to know her assessment.
Xu Si asked, "So, Chu Lan, any news?"
Zhang Chulan shook his head and said, "No, Master doesn't tell me anything."
“He said he would only tell me if I became the champion of the Luo Tian Da Jiao.”
Xu Si was stunned. "Champion? You can become a champion?"
Zhang Chulan said with a hint of helplessness, "Yes, Master really thinks too highly of me."
Feng Baobao was silent for a moment, then said, "Let's give it a try."
Xu Si: "Hmm?"
Feng Baobao continued, "I said, let's give it a try. How will we know we're not the champions if we don't try? I want to know about my background, and I also want Zhang Chulan to know his grandfather's secret. So, let's give it a try!"
This is the first time Feng Baobao has spoken so many words in one continuous sentence.
Seeing the tears in Feng Baobao's eyes, Zhang Chulan's heart softened.
Then, he slammed his hand on the table.
"Damn! Let's give it a try!"
"We all have two arms and two legs, we all have two eyes and one mouth, so why can't I, Zhang Chulan, be the champion? Let's give it a try!"
Xu Si never expected that Feng Baobao would ignite the fighting spirit of Zhang Chulan, who was usually a lazy bum.
However, this is also a good thing.
Xu Si wrote down on the paper some of the enemies he considered troublesome.
Zhang Lingyu of the Celestial Master's Mansion, Zhuge Qing of the Zhuge Family, Lu Linglong of the Lu Family, Lin Shen of the World Society, the Feng siblings of the World Society, Jia Zhengliang of Jia Family Village, Lü Ren of the Lü Family, Wang Bing of the Wang Family...
Zhang Chulan looked at the paper.
Xu Si wrote down so many names.
I suddenly felt a chill run down my spine.
Are there really that many geniuses in the world of superhumans?
It's as if heroes from all over the world are as numerous as carp crossing a river.
Zhang Chulan considers himself a lazy bum.
He wanted to win the championship from among these people.
It's harder than winning 1000 million in the lottery!
........
The next morning, at the foot of the mountain.
The monk is swindling people again.
"Fire Qilin Inner Core, Fire Qilin Inner Core, only 998."
However, for some reason, the head monk sounded somewhat listless when he shouted.
Just then, a strong and tall monk walked over.
He was none other than Master Jiekong, one of the Ten Elders, and the monk Baowen.
Bao Wen saw the senior monk, walked up to him, and said, "Uncle-Master? What are you doing here?"
The senior monk saw Baowen and, not wanting to speak to him, said to Baowen, "Get out of my way, don't disturb me while I'm selling things."
Monk Baowen looked left and right, then whispered in the head monk's ear, "Uncle-Master, have you heard? Yesterday, someone found the Imperial Seal of the State at the foot of the mountain!"
"I heard it was also bought from a monk. Do you know who it is, Uncle-Master? I'm going down the mountain today to see if I can find a bargain."
The monk Baowen looked at the senior monk and saw that he was crying.
"Hey, Uncle-Master, why are you crying?"
The senior monk was in agony. Damn it, I was the one who sold that!
I had finally started to forget about this, why are they dredging up this old story again?

Chapter 72 The Grand Ceremony of Luo Tian Begins
Time flies in the blink of an eye.
Then came the day when the Luo Tian Grand Ritual would officially begin.
Those who come to participate in the Luo Tian Grand Ritual must prove that they are under 30 years old, and then explain their lineage and school of thought, so that no evil sects or heretics can be mixed into the Luo Tian Grand Ritual.
Previously, the method to verify age was by palpating the bones.
Now that technology is advanced, verifying age has become simple: just look at your ID card.
Lin Shen arrived at the venue of the Luo Tian Grand Ceremony.
He handed his ID card to a Taoist priest and said, "Tianxia Hui, Lin Shen."
The Taoist priest verified that Lin Shen's identity and age were correct, and then let Lin Shen in.
Suddenly, Lin Shen heard a Taoist priest in the passage next to him shout, "You fucking tell me you're twenty-two years old?"
Lin Shen looked over at the sound and saw a tall, muscular, and fierce-looking blond man.
Lin Shen looked around.
This old guy, if you didn't say he was twenty-two, Lin Shen would have thought he was forty-two.
Jin Meng said to the Taoist priest, "It's clearly written on my ID card that I am really twenty-two years old this year. If you don't believe me, then have someone check my bones!"
The Taoist priest nodded and let Jin Meng in.
Compared to someone like Jin Meng, whose age is questioned even upon seeing his ID card.
The real centenarian, Feng Baobao, was let in without even having her ID card checked.
Because Feng Baobao looks young and beautiful.
Moreover, even an ID card can be faked by Feng Baobao, since her background is a company and she has countless fake identities.
.......
After arriving at the venue of the Luo Tian Grand Ritual.
Lin Shen looked around, trying to see if there was anyone he recognized.
Lin Shen saw Zhang Chulan, Wang Ye, Lu Linglong from the Lu family, and Wang Bing from the Wang family.
