"Senior Brother Chang Hao and Junior Sister Qianqian are back. When did you guys go out?"

"Wow, that woman is so beautiful!"

"Why is there a stray dog on the mountain?"

"Who is talking and laughing with Junior Sister Qianqian? Jealousy! How can he stand next to my goddess!"

"He's definitely not simple. The aura on him is so strong, Foundation Establishment Realm!"

Walking up the stone steps, the Xuanling Sect disciples they encountered along the way were all discussing animatedly. Chang Qianqian, however, was oblivious and continued to chat and laugh with Qin Jun. It was Chang Hao who felt extremely awkward.

In his opinion, Chang Qianqian was supposed to marry him, but now she was laughing and talking with another man. He felt his masculine dignity was completely gone.

In reality, the surrounding disciples weren't paying any attention to him, nor did anyone acknowledge that they were a match made in heaven.

Which male disciple of the Xuanling Sect didn't harbor thoughts of marrying Chang Qianqian?

Qin Jun walked along, observing his surroundings. The buildings of the Xuanling Sect were magnificent, very similar to the Taoist temples in Huaxia, but larger and more ornate. The air was filled with a refreshing floral scent. As night approached, oil lamps were lit on both sides of the stone steps, creating a dreamlike and hazy atmosphere.

Judging by the environment alone, it was enough to outshine any tourist attraction on Earth.

Especially the waterfall beside the stone steps, which cascaded from the mountaintop to the foot like a galaxy, incredibly majestic. From time to time, powerful disciples would ascend by stepping on the waterfall, creating a truly immortal scene.

In a past memory of his predecessor, it was mentioned that deities indeed existed in this world. Cultivating Qi to become an immortal was the goal, to ascend to the ranks of the gods.

Although he didn't believe in ghosts and gods in his past life, believing in science, his transmigration had shattered his worldview. Therefore, he began to yearn for the existence of immortals and gods.

Tsk tsk, I wonder if the gods from Huaxia mythology are more powerful, or if the immortals and gods of this world are superior?

As Qin Jun was lost in thought, a group of people arrived at a pavilion halfway up the mountain. Several stewards were stationed there, registering the entry and exit information of disciples. Further up were the residential courtyards of the disciples and the major palaces of the sect.

Based on Qin Jun's estimation, the entire mountain was at least two to three thousand meters high. On Earth, such a height would typically have snow, but these mountains did not. Looking up from the foot of the mountain, there was no sign of snow.

"They are my friends. Get them a courtyard and let them stay for now," Chang Qianqian said, acting like a big boss as she approached the stewards and slammed the table. The stewards' mouths twitched.

Why is this little tyrant back again!

Although Chang Qianqian was the Sect Master's daughter, they couldn't directly let Qin Jun and the others stay, especially since Qin Jun was wearing the uniform of the Imperial Guards.

"Which family are you from?"

A steward with a long beard frowned and asked. He could see Qin Jun's Foundation Establishment Realm cultivation at a glance. Such a genius was rare even in the Xuanling Sect.

Looking at Daji, the long-bearded steward's eyes widened slightly, but fortunately, he had already seen through worldly desires and simply felt he had the will but not the strength. Thus, he quickly averted his gaze. As for the Howling Celestial Dog, he was completely ignored.

"It's inconvenient to say," Qin Jun replied with a fake smile.

The stewards couldn't help but frown. At this moment, Chang Hao spoke up, "Junior Sister and I encountered danger when we went out this time, and we were fortunate enough to have their help. Don't worry, they will only stay for one night. Also, we have something to discuss with Master. We hope you elders can allow them to stay temporarily."

Graceful and composed, neither servile nor overbearing.

Qin Jun, however, couldn't help but curl his lips. Chang Hao's words seemed to be defending him, but in reality, they were implying to the stewards that Qin Jun and the other could only stay for one night.

As the Sect Master's personal disciple, Chang Hao, though not the most monstrous genius in the sect, was given face by the stewards due to his status.

"Alright."

The long-bearded steward nodded and turned around. Behind him was a tall cabinet with hundreds of small drawers, each labeled with a number. The steward pulled open one of the drawers and took out a set of keys.

"Xiao Zhou, take them there," the long-bearded steward said to a young disciple who was sweeping the floor nearby.

"You guys go settle in first. I'll come find you tomorrow morning," Chang Qianqian said to Qin Jun with a bright smile.

Qin Jun naturally wouldn't refuse. He was eager to inherit skills.

And so, Qin Jun, Daji, and the Howling Celestial Dog were led by the young disciple Xiao Zhou towards a quiet path beside the pavilion.

Chang Qianqian and Chang Hao continued their ascent towards the summit. After experiencing so much outside, Chang Qianqian had a lot of grievances to pour out to her father.

Upon arriving at a courtyard, Xiao Zhou handed the keys to Qin Jun and left in a hurry, clearly a shy young man.

"Daji, want to sleep with me tonight? I'm a bit scared to sleep alone," Qin Jun said with a chuckle. The courtyard had eight rooms, more than enough for two people and a dog.

"You have the Howling Celestial Dog with you," Daji said with a flirtatious wink and a charming laugh. As she spoke, she turned and walked towards a guest room. Qin Jun was about to follow, but she closed the door.

Qin Jun couldn't help but pout, but he didn't mind. He had to perform skill inheritance tonight and couldn't possibly share a room with anyone else.

He even called the Howling Celestial Dog to another guest room.

After closing the door, Qin Jun sat cross-legged on the bed. As expected of the Xuanling Sect, any guest room here was better than the inns in Qing Tan City.

"System, I want to start two skill inheritance opportunities!"

Qin Jun suppressed his excitement and said in his heart. Tonight, he was going to turn his fortunes around!

"Initiating the first skill inheritance opportunity. Special note: Most skills are derived from the cultivation techniques, spells, and divine abilities of characters from various Chinese myths. They vary in strength. The levels of cultivation techniques and spells are divided from bottom to top as Mortal Grade, Spirit Grade, Earth Grade, Heaven Grade, Immortal Grade, Divine Grade, and Saint Grade. Each grade is further divided into Lower, Middle, and Upper tiers."

"Divine abilities do not have specific grade divisions."

"Do you wish to begin random skill inheritance?"

Qin Jun silently noted this information and then said, "Yes!"

Seventy-Two Earthly Fiends Transformations!

External Incarnation!

Three Pure Ones Manifestation!

Images of famous divine abilities and spells from immortal gods in his past life's memories began to surface in Qin Jun's mind. The one he remembered most vividly was Sun Wukong pulling out a handful of monkey fur, which all transformed into monkeys – a divine ability far more awesome than the Shadow Clone Jutsu from Japanese anime!

"Ding! Congratulations to the Host for drawing the divine ability of Marshal Tian PengThirty-Six Heavenly Spirits Transformations!"

Marshal Tian Peng?

The famous second disciple, Brother Pig!

Damn it, I wanted the Seventy-Two Earthly Fiends Transformations!

Qin Jun's face immediately fell. In Journey to the West, Zhu Bajie's performance was truly that of a pig-headed teammate!

"Initiating skill inheritance for Thirty-Six Heavenly Spirits Transformations!"

As soon as the System's prompt sounded, Qin Jun didn't even have time to react. He felt an explosion in his mind, followed by an unimaginably vast amount of memories flooding into his consciousness.

Boom!

Qin Jun's consciousness instantly went blank. At the same time, the Mortal Grade Middle Rank cultivation technique, Qi Refining Art, that his previous body had learned began to circulate automatically, and the surrounding spiritual energy started pouring into his body like crazy.
