People from Dragon Head Peak

Da Zhu Peak, in front of Shou Jing Hall

"Seventh, go to the back mountain and look for Eighth and Ling'er. It's getting dark, and they're still not back. It's really worrying." Tian Buyi paced back and forth in front of Shou Jing Hall, his brow furrowed, a look of anxiety on his face. Seeing Jiang Ming approaching from a distance, he immediately instructed Jiang Ming to search for Zhang Xiao Fan and Tian Ling'er, who had not returned.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Ming immediately recalled the bruise on Zhang Xiao Fan's forehead last night. After Tian Ling'er inquired, she learned that Zhang Xiao Fan had been bullied by monkeys in the back mountain. Immediately, his senior sister flared up and promised to go to the back mountain another day to help Zhang Xiao Fan teach that monkey a lesson. However, in the process of going to the back mountain to teach the monkey Xiao Hui a lesson, they were led by Xiao Hui to the deep valley of the back mountain cliff, allowing Zhang Xiao Fan to fuse with Soul Seizing and the Bloodthirsty Bead. The wondrous Firewood Stick finally appeared in the world.

Remembering the whole story, Jiang Ming immediately put aside his worries and comforted Tian Buyi, "Master, there's no need to worry. Nothing will happen in the back mountain of our Da Zhu Peak. They must be so engrossed in playing that they forgot the time."

Hearing this, the anxious look on Tian Buyi's face gradually eased. He then said to Jiang Ming, "That's true, but your Shiniang and senior brothers have been gone for so long and haven't returned. It's really worrying."

As soon as he finished speaking, a sound of rushing wind suddenly came from the air. Jiang Ming and Tian Buyi looked up and saw that it was Shiniang Su Ru who had returned with Zhang Xiao Fan and Tian Ling'er. Seeing this, Jiang Ming said to Tian Buyi, "Master, look, haven't they returned? And Ling'er and Xiao Fan don't seem to be in any serious trouble. It's just that there's an extra monkey. They probably forgot the time because of this monkey. Just scold them a few words when they get back."

"Dad! We're back!" Tian Ling'er hopped and skipped to Tian Buyi's side. Always clever, she naturally saw that something was wrong. With a coquettish tone, she hugged Tian Buyi with both hands.

Seeing this, Tian Buyi could only snort coldly. Jiang Ming immediately came to the rescue, "Ling'er Shimei, it's too much to not come back so late with Xiao Fan, and even make Shiniang go find you. You should apologize to Master and Shiniang quickly."

Hearing this, Tian Ling'er's eyes darted around, "Dad, it won't happen next time. Besides, Xiao Fan was bullied by a monkey, so wasn't I just helping Xiao Fan get even? Right, Xiao Fan?"

Hearing this, Zhang Xiao Fan quickly nodded in agreement.

"Alright, alright, it's getting late. You must be hungry too. Go rest after eating something," Su Ru saw Tian Buyi's cold face and already understood everything. For her always strong husband, his disciple being bullied by a monkey was simply a disgrace to his face as a master. She then pulled Tian Ling'er and Tian Buyi towards the dining hall.

Seeing this, Jiang Ming then said to Xiao Fan, "Xiao Fan, Master and Shiniang have already left. Eat your meal and rest early. Work hard to cultivate and prove it to Master."

"Thank you, Seventh Shixiong. I understand," Zhang Xiao Fan raised his head and nodded to Jiang Ming.

Autumn passed and winter came, and more than half a year passed in the blink of an eye. More than half a year had passed since Zhang Xiao Fan returned from the back mountain. Zhang Xiao Fan officially took over Du Bishu's job after he went down the mountain. Zhang Xiao Fan, who had an amazing talent for cooking, finally had a talent that far surpassed ordinary people, and the people of Da Zhu Peak finally didn't have to eat the meals made by Du Bishu anymore.

Jiang Ming was also relieved. To be honest, although Jiang Ming wasn't particularly picky about food, what Du Bishu made was really not good, far worse than Zhang Xiao Fan's. After eating Zhang Xiao Fan's cooking, Jiang Ming once again made up his mind to let Zhang Xiao Fan cook the Spirit Beasts he caught.

And in the process of Zhang Xiao Fan's daily cooking, the Firewood Stick that he used to poke the firewood appeared in Jiang Ming's sight. Jiang Ming took it over and looked at it, and it was indeed a wondrous item, and one that only the protagonist could use.

This made Jiang Ming feel a pang of regret, especially for the Soul Seizing rod, which had an absolute restraining effect on Yin spirits and ghosts. Jiang Ming had originally gone to the deep valley of the back mountain in advance to look for it, but it was nowhere to be found. In Jiang Ming's plan, he wanted to try whether Soul Seizing had a restraining effect on Karl's phantom body from the Super God Academy world. After all, the original work didn't say what kind of existence Karl's phantom body was. But Jiang Ming guessed that it should be similar to a spiritual body or soul body, and Soul Seizing should have an effect. What a pity, now no one can use it except Zhang Xiao Fan.

If Soul Seizing was made into a sword and used to activate Sword Twenty-Three, it would probably have a better effect on soul bodies. Thinking of this, Jiang Ming couldn't help but feel regret. Unless Zhang Xiao Fan died, otherwise

After studying Zhu Xian for these years, he had a deeper understanding of using Daoist methods to activate martial arts. After all, the principles were all interconnected. The myriad of methods lead to different paths, but they all belong to the Dao. Jiang Ming had always wanted to integrate the martial arts techniques he had learned, hoping to melt them into one furnace, yet without losing the original characteristics of these techniques. However, he had no clue until he obtained the first volume of the Heavenly Book not long ago. After all, the Heavenly Book could combine Taiji Xuanqing Dao and Great Brahma Wisdom into one. Although there was a reason for them to come from the same source, there was also the factor that the Heavenly Book was the ultimate truth of heaven and earth.

Because no matter which world, the Dao is unchanging, and the myriad of changes do not deviate from their origin. Using the five volumes of the Heavenly Book to integrate all the martial arts techniques that Jiang Ming had practiced in the past, without reducing their power or losing their characteristics, perhaps this is the reason why the system wanted him to come to the Zhu Xian world!

Just as Jiang Ming was thinking, there was a burst of knocking on the door from outside, "Knock knock knock, is Seventh Shidi there?"

"Da Shixiong, is there anything you need me for?" Jiang Ming opened the door and saw Song Daren standing at the door with an anxious look on his face.

"Shidi, Qi Hao from Dragon Head Peak brought his Shidi to our Da Zhu Peak. It looks like they're not here with good intentions. Master asked me to call you over. After all, among all our Shixiongdi, you have the highest cultivation. You also know that Master values face the most, and Qi Hao is the best among the entire Qingyun Sect. If something happens this time, we'll have to rely on you." Song Daren frowned, with a hint of embarrassment. After all, they had always been a disgrace to Master, and Qi Hao's cultivation was much higher than theirs. Master couldn't easily make a move and be accused of bullying the younger generation. If something happened, only Jiang Ming could save the dignity of Da Zhu Peak.

"I understand. I'll go to the front hall with you to see what's going on. If anything happens, I will definitely not let Master lose face." Jiang Ming heard Song Daren's words and understood the meaning in Song Daren's words. He then followed Song Daren to the front hall.
