"Ahem, Junior Brother Xiao, you shouldn't eat too much for breakfast, it's not good for cultivation." Rong Shan looked at Xiao Tian as if he were a monster.
"Oh, it's Senior Brother Rong Shan! You're right, after I finished eating a piece of beef and drinking the porridge, I packed some food to take to Senior Brother Zhang Lingyu."
"Alright." Rong Shan didn't say much more, intending to report this matter to the Old Celestial Master.
Zhang Lingyu slept inside for a while and regained her energy.
"Junior Brother Xiao Tian has been gone for a while now, hasn't he encountered some trouble?"
Zhang Lingyu suddenly felt worried and decided to go and check on things.
Among the Old Celestial Master's disciples, only Xiao Tian and he were of the same age. Although there were other people of the same age in the Celestial Master's Manor, they were all below him in seniority and mostly called him Junior Uncle. There were no people he could talk to.
Xiao Tian's appearance and his pure, innocent nature made Zhang Lingyu feel that her days on the mountain would no longer be lonely.
"Senior brother, I'm back!"
"Huh? They still have roast chicken this morning?" Zhang Lingyu was surprised when she smelled a familiar aroma.
Soon, Xiao Tian was carrying a bamboo basket containing several bowls of white porridge, pickled vegetables, boiled eggs, and beef in his left hand, and a golden-brown roasted chicken steaming hot in his right hand.
"Junior brother, is this roast chicken from the cafeteria too?" Zhang Lingyu had a bad feeling.
"Oh, so this is roast chicken? No, on the way back, I saw a few birds pecking at the rice and flapping their wings, even lunging at me. My first thought was that this thing would taste delicious and be very nutritious when roasted. Senior brother has worked hard all night, he needs to replenish his energy."
Seeing Xiao Heavenly Eye as he handed over the roast chicken, Zhang Lingyu, knowing things were going to get complicated, was very troubled.
Clearly, the chicken Xiao Tian caught was a crowing rooster from the mountain. If the Grandmaster found out that one was missing, he would probably get a broom in his face, plus having to sweep the mountain gate every month to clean it up.
"Junior brother, you've worked hard. Were there any other people with you when you were catching and roasting the chicken?" Zhang Lingyu asked.
"No." Xiao Tian shook his head, but inwardly he was laughing his head off.
"Okay, junior brother, go practice your skills. I need to go to Master's place after I finish eating. I'll also get you some notes on cultivation experience from the previous generations of the Celestial Master's Manor."
"Good."
Ignoring the grease and heat, Zhang Lingyu grabbed the roast chicken and quickly devoured it, trying to destroy the stolen goods before his Grandmaster came to question him.
At the same time, Rong Shan, the ninth disciple, came out from the Old Celestial Master.
"Goodness, it looks like our Celestial Master's Manor needs to develop more profitable projects and prepare more ingredients. Looks like we'll have to discuss this with the Tourism Bureau."
Rong Shan felt a chill run down his spine when he thought about the amount of food Xiao Tian had eaten in that meal. If the Old Celestial Master hadn't confirmed that Xiao Tian was human, he would have thought that Xiao Tian was a demon who had cultivated to take human form.
Good morning, Grandmaster.
" Rong Shan, good morning." Zhang Qianhe smiled and nodded before entering the room of the Old Celestial Master Zhang Zhiwei.
"What, did you brothers discuss this beforehand? What's going on?" The Old Celestial Master, who was sitting cross-legged on the bed, opened his eyes and looked at his eldest disciple Zhang Qianhe, who had entered the room.
"Master, we're missing a crowing rooster."
"Hmm? Who's so bold?" Zhang Zhiwei raised an eyebrow.
"According to the disciples on the mountain, it's that one." Zhang Qianhe said helplessly.
"Ha ha ha ha..."
"It's alright, it's just a crowing rooster. This kid is practically an ancient god, he can eat and drink as much as he wants without any problem. Why don't you set up another chicken farm?"
"Master, I overheard some things from the disciples on the way here, and I feel that one chicken farm isn't enough," Zhang Qianhe said earnestly.
"Well..." Zhang Zhiwei fell into thought. He wasn't really interested in money, but with such an unpredictable guy like Xiao Tian in the Celestial Master's Manor, at least his food should be adequate.
"I'll go down the mountain today and talk to the tourism bureau."
As time passed, Zhang Lingyu was somewhat apprehensive all morning, knowing that his Grandmaster would never tolerate the punishment of chicken thieves.
"The later the storm arrives, the more violent it will be."
Zhang Lingyu watched as the Golden Light Curse swiftly and skillfully destroyed all the rock piles, and his head throbbed even more.
" Lingyu, come with me."
Zhang Lingyu turned around and found it was the Old Celestial Master.
"Master, your sudden appearances and disappearances are quite frightening."
As the Old Celestial Master and Zhang Lingyu entered the house, Xiao Tian, having used his ability to conceal himself from others and his 360-degree God's-eye view to his Byakugan, discovered them and immediately used the Golden Light Curse to dash off in other directions.
"There are many disciples of the Celestial Master's Manor on the mountain, but not many know me. I'll just collect as many Achievement Points as I can."
Xiao Tian focused his mind, and the list of achievements appeared in his mind. After filtering by the keyword ' Celestial Master's Manor ', he burst into wild laughter.
"Young man, you want to compete with me in the Golden Light Curse? Alright?" A middle-aged disciple smiled.
The Golden Light Curse is the fundamental law of the Celestial Master's Manor. When cultivated to its highest level, the golden light can destroy all things when it is released and remain unaffected by anything when it is withdrawn. It is a perfect means of both attacking and defending against enemies.
"Let's begin."
Bang!
The middle-aged disciple felt as if he had been hit by a speeding car. His golden light dissipated, and he was sent flying backward, crashing heavily to the ground. He felt as if his body was about to fall apart.
"Such a high level of mastery of the Golden Light Curse!"
Next, Xiao Tian sparred with his fellow disciples using the Golden Light Curse.
" Lingyu, do you know why I entrusted Xiao Tian to your tutelage?"
"This disciple does not know," Zhang Lingyu shook his head.
"Haha, then you should have noticed some of Xiao Tian's extraordinary abilities by now." The Old Celestial Master stared at Zhang Lingyu.
Zhang Lingyu nodded and said, "Master, before Junior Brother Xiao Tian lost his memory, he was definitely a very strong Evolver. The hardness of his bones is the most terrifying I have ever seen in my life. They are extremely precise. I'm afraid he could be hit by a car traveling at high speed without any damage."
"Good, continue."
"Furthermore, my junior brother has a lot of Qi. With careful guidance, he will soon surpass me. Even if he cannot regain his memories, he will still be a powerful and respected Evolver."
The Old Celestial Master chuckled, " Lingyu, don't mention Xiao Tian's amnesia to anyone else. Not many people know about it. Also, try to keep Xiao Tian away from the disciples on the mountain as much as possible, to avoid gossip."
"Yes, Master. But you haven't explained why you entrusted my junior brother to your tutelage. Although I'm very happy to teach him."
" Lingyu, Xiao Tian is a blank slate right now. To put it bluntly, regardless of whether he was good or evil before he regained his memories, at least for now, we need to add more light to this blank slate, to give him more attachment to the world, and more good intentions. Then, even if his memories return and he becomes extremely evil, it might still be possible to turn the tide. Although this method may seem a bit selfish to Xiao Tian, it is good for the world."
" Lingyu, you're just too upright and kind. I wish he could pick up your naiveté."
Zhang Lingyu: "??"
"Master, I'm not stupid, I knew how to..."
"I'm not saying you're stupid, hahaha... you'll understand in time." The Old Celestial Master laughed.
