Under One Person: One Person Goes

Chapter 51: Banquet Restarts
Who is Zhang Jingqing? He is the 62nd Heavenly Master of Mount Longhu and one of the two leading figures of the mysterious sect in the world of strange people.

His status and the background behind him allow him to say "I owe you a favor". For the practitioners in the world of strange people, what a great gift it is.

Favors can be big or small, and the one facing Zhang Jingqing at the moment is a disciple of a big sect like Shangqing, Wudang, Shaolin or Lingyin whose ancestors have also ascended to the Tao. Then this favor is really just a favor, but if it is a lone ranger or a small sect, it is a life-saving medicine and a good cure at a critical moment!

Unfortunately, the person he met this time was a cultivator who was not really a cultivator.

In this competition, Zhang Jingqing had to admit that Wang Yi was very talented. Before Wang Yi, he thought that among the young generation today, perhaps only his disciple Zhang Zhiwei could walk out of the road to ascension. After Wang Yi appeared, Zhang Jingqing had to add Wang Yi's name to the list of young people today who could walk out of the road to ascension.

It seemed that Wang Yi lost the game because of a single move, but Zhang Jingqing saw through it. In the end, the two of them competed in the dual cultivation of sex and life. Wang Yi won over Zhang Zhiwei in the root of life, but lost in the means of sex.

This kind of loss is normal, because behind Zhang Zhiwei is the heritage of Longhu Mountain that has been passed down for thousands of years!
Zhang Zhiwei has lived in Longhu Mountain since he was a child. There are countless Taoist treasures in the Tianshi Mansion. He also has a famous master by his side, and senior and junior brothers teaching him tricks. It is both reasonable and unexpected that Zhang Zhiwei can reach his current level.

But what about Wang Yi? Zhang Jingqing also learned from Zuo Ruotong that Wang Yi and Zhang Zhiwei were born in the same year, the 31st year of the Guangxu period. Before that, his original name and family background were unknown. He lived on the streets and was almost starved to death until he was picked up by the Ghost Hand King when he was seven years old. Only then did he slowly embark on the path of cultivation next to the Ghost Hand King. At this time, Zhang Zhiwei had already cultivated the first breath of innate true qi, and was honing his muscles and bones next to him, and began to temper his life.

The two started from different places. One had a famous teacher by his side, always giving him advice. The other could only rely on himself to figure things out and practice hard. He stayed by the side of the Ghost Hand King, a completely ignorant person. Although he was precocious, he did not dare to expose his skills at will. It was not until the tenth year of the Republic of China that he temporarily settled in the area where the Trinity Gate was located. Only then did he feel a little more stable. Zuo Ruotong gave him a special lesson and taught him the Trinity Secret Method.

And it was such a wild young man who simply admitted defeat in the competition with one move behind. He was neither proud nor regretful, as if the outcome of the game was not important to him at all.

Zhang Jingqing didn't believe that Wang Yi didn't know the difference between him and Zhang Zhiwei. Now there was such an opportunity in front of him, which could narrow the gap between him and Zhang Zhiwei, so that he could defeat Zhang Zhiwei in the next competition, and then become famous and establish his own school. There was no reason not to let it go.

So, did he really admit defeat because he was one step behind? Zhang Jingqing was a master of chess after all, and he could roughly see the clues from Wang Yi's answer, but he couldn't guess Wang Yi's purpose for the time being.

But in this case, it seems that his favor as a heavenly master is stuck here.

"Master, please come on, we are all here to celebrate Lord Lu's birthday, but we didn't expect to see a story here that will be passed down in the alien world for decades. Young people are bound to love wine, so let me lend a flower to this story."

Fortunately, Zhang Jingqing was not the only Xuanmen master present at this time. Just when Zhang Jingqing had many thoughts because of Wang Yi's words, the leader of the Huode Sect, a strange sect from Sichuan and Shu, spoke up to celebrate the birthday of Old Master Lu.

This opening was like a gentle breeze and rain, which made Zhang Tianshi not give away this favor just because of Wang Yi's words.

He also walked out with a smile, his mouth puffed up, and a mouthful of golden Qi came out of his mouth, falling on the burnt yellow grass, and instantly turned into a golden bonfire more than one meter high. And this Chu Zongzhu was also there to greet his favorite disciple Feng Ping, who he brought with him this time to watch the competition with his peers.

"Feng Ping, come and give me a hand."

"I'm here, Senior Brother Zhang, Senior Brother Wang, and all of you, wait a moment, I'm going to empty my master's wine cellar!"

Before he could finish his words, this enthusiastic guy with two sky-high buns, wearing a red shirt and shorts, received a slap on the head.

"The master is still here! Say it in front of me!"

As he spoke, he also grabbed Fengping's ears and walked towards the golden bonfire he had released. As the master and apprentice approached, the golden bonfire, which was originally more than one meter high, rose to two meters, enveloping the master and apprentice, and after swallowing them, it returned to its original size.

Seeing this incredible method, the younger generation who had not really traveled the world were naturally amazed. The older generation who understood the truth were also watching the fun and explaining it to the younger generation.

"Brother Chu and his Huo De Sect's fire escape technique is really something I never get tired of watching."

Zhang Zhiwei was also excited and wanted to come forward to see what was going on, but was stopped by his master's eyes. Wang Yi was much calmer. He might not understand it anyway, so he decided to study his own tricks in case he could come up with something similar one day, and then think about the reasons.

After a cup of tea, the blazing golden bonfire suddenly rose to two meters high again. Sect Master Chu and his disciple Feng Ping, who had just entered the fire, also walked out slowly, carrying a shoulder pole with baskets hanging on both sides of the pole. The baskets were filled with two large jars of wine.

"My dear seniors, I have brought all the Jian Nan Chun that my master has treasured for many years to you!"

"You evil beast, you won't leave me any at all!"

This unique way of getting along between the master and the disciple also made everyone present laugh.

"If we have good wine, we naturally need good food. Mr. Lu, please bear with me for a while and allow me to show you my family's skills."

Looking at the fine wine beside him, the head of the Wang family, who is one of the four famous families together with the Lu family, also used his family's inherited method - the magic paint - with the permission of Old Master Lu.

Shen Tu is the art of painting among the Yi Ren schools. In the field of painting, the entire Yi Ren world is headed by two major sects, one is the Mi Hua Sect, and the other is the Shen Tu Wang family.

The origin of the Secret Painting School is untraceable, but there is a saying about the Shen Tu Wang family. It is said that it was passed down from the Langya Wang family. After all, this family has indeed produced many geniuses in painting. The calligrapher Wang Xizhi is from the Langya Wang family.

The so-called Danqing refers to the art of painting. As for what the mystery of this genre is, we can get a glimpse of it from the idioms of the ancients. For example, adding the finishing touch to a painting's dragon is a mysterious embodiment of the art of Danqing.

At this moment, a bird painting flew out from the sleeves of the Wang family's Patriarch and spread out in the air. "Go~"

With a whisper, the birds in the painting of hundreds of birds also flew out of the painting and flew away under the command of the patriarch of the Wang family. After a while, chirping sounds were heard in the sky. The birds flew back with the delicious food in the Lu family compound and landed together with the fine wine that the patriarch of the Huode Sect brought from the Sichuan Sect.

Everyone is a cultivator, so they don't care much about eating and drinking in the back mountain.

Good wine goes well with good food, and the fight between dragons and tigers we just watched, coupled with the moonlight at this moment, really complements each other.

"Tianshi, we elders should sit further away. It will make these youngsters uncomfortable if we are here."

Zuo Rutong spoke, and Zhang Tianshi looked at Zuo Rutong meaningfully. As the only senior present who had been with Wang Yi for three years, he didn't believe that Zuo Rutong hadn't figured out Wang Yi's personality in these three years.

In this case, he would like to see why this young man, Wang Yi, gave in so easily.

"Yeah, Zhiwei."

"The disciple is here."

"You also heard what your master said just now. Think carefully about this competition. Also, let go of your temper. Get along with the disciples of each school the same way you get along with your fellow disciples in the mountains. Do you hear me?"

"The disciple understands."

After saying that, Zhang Tianshi and Zuo Rutong, the two leaders of Xuanmen and a group of seniors also left the space to Wang Yi and his group of young people.

Without the presence of their elders, everyone relaxed at once. This respect for elders is ingrained in young people, even though they know that their elders will not say anything to them in this situation.

Looking at the wine bowls and dishes on the ground, a few troublemakers led by Lu Ci and Feng Ping rolled their eyes and walked towards Wang Yi and Zhang Zhiwei, who had already finished regulating their breathing. They came up without saying anything else, they just wanted to fight with these two.

After a few bowls of wine, Zhang Zhiwei also listened to his master's words and treated these peers as fellow apprentices on the mountain. Naturally, he opened his big mouth and shared the interesting things he had experienced on Longhu Mountain over the years. This easy-going tone and open temperament also made everyone understand.

This Senior Brother Zhang from Mount Longhu is not introverted, but none of the people present had cultivation levels that could really impress him, and he was forced to follow his master out to the banquet, which was why he was napping on the tree and looking like a loner.

What changed Zhang Zhiwei's attitude was not them, but Wang Yi who was sitting there drinking with Lu Guangda.

"Tell me honestly, when you were fighting with this little Taoist priest just now, did you understand the principle of the coin flicking move or not?"

"I don't understand~" Wang Yi answered honestly.

"You dare to play like this even though you don't understand? You are really ignorant and fearless!"

"Oh, it's not that I'm fearless, I just tried it this way first."

As he spoke, Wang Yi took out another copper coin and clamped it between his two fingers. As the magnetic field and true qi converged between his two fingers, Wang Yi slowly released the copper coin, letting it float between his two fingers, then retracted it and flicked his fingers. A flash of lightning leaped between his fingers, and the copper coin once again turned into a meteor and disappeared into the night. Wang Yi also shook his smoking fingers, operated the three-fold inverse life to repair it, and said to Lu Guangda, who was stunned by the scene.

“And that’s it.”

“Hiss!” Lu Guangda looked at Wang Yi’s actions and could only take a deep breath. He took another sip of wine, then pointed at Wang Yi and cursed: “I find that you are a real genius! You haven’t been trained to death by this kind of nonsense. It must be God who is chasing you to feed you!”

"That's why I said you are much more important than me. Without me, Wang Yi, in this world, perhaps nothing will change. But without you, a top student in the Department of Physics at Yanjing University, it's hard to say whether the world will be peaceful in the future."

Wang Yi picked up a bite of food for himself and looked at the moonlight, not knowing what he was thinking about. On the contrary, Lu Guangda was confused by Wang Yi's words and didn't know how to respond for a moment.

On the contrary, Zhang Zhiwei, who was standing by, was also excited when he saw Wang Yi performing the same move again. He tried to use the Golden Light Mantra and imitated Wang Yi, taking out a copper coin from his pocket and trying to replicate it. However, he never got the hang of it, and finally, as if he was angry and embarrassed, he directly used the Power Brick Flying and the Finger Magic.

He successfully made the copper coin in his hand achieve the same effect as Wang Yi just did.

Seeing this scene, Lu Guangda wanted to drink more.

But seeing how energetic Wang Yi and Zhang Zhiwei were at this moment, Lu Guangda was stunned, but he quickly reacted and whispered in Wang Yi's ear.

"Just now, did you really lose?"
