Chapter 21: The World's Extraordinary Talents

  A dignified formal disciple of the Immortal Sect was actually slapped in the face by a disciple who had been expelled from the sect, and this shocking force was really astonishing. At this time, probably no one would think that Meng Xuan was expelled from the Immortal Sect because he was not talented enough, because the fact was right in front of them, Xiao Yufei had already used his weapon and even used a jade symbol, while Meng Xuan was fighting with empty hands.

  One glance is enough to determine whether one's skills are superior or inferior.

  Seeing this scene, Shen Jian lightly shook his head and sighed, and couldn't help but feel a sense of relief in his heart.

  At first in Baicao Garden, he fled in disarray, although it was not good for his reputation at the time, but now it seems to be the wisest choice.

  As for several other friends of Xiao Yufei, they were so frightened that their legs went limp and they almost slipped away quietly.

  They all knew that they had made a big mistake, underestimating Meng Xuan's strength. Thinking about the young master of the Jiang family who fell into Meng Xuan's hands and ended up in such a miserable state, they regretted it so much that they almost spat out bitter water.

  Xiao Yufei was directly knocked unconscious by Meng Xuan. The greatest sorrow is the death of one's heart, which is undoubtedly embodied in him.

  I thought I was a formal disciple of Xianmen and could teach Meng Xuan a lesson, but instead, I ended up losing face myself.

  There's no doubt that from today on, I'll be infamous in the Four Symbols City. The honor and glory of being a direct disciple of the Mystic Door will turn into shame because of this defeat. He might even become the laughing stock of others after meals.

  "Brother...... brother...... you avenge me...... you must kill him......"

  Xiao Qing rushed out of the wine house, screaming, with a bloody face, which shocked people's hearts. It turned out that when she was kicked into the wine house by Qingmu, she happened to rush into the kitchen and broke countless plates and bowls. The fragments scratched her face, and the originally tender and flawless face was covered in blood. Coupled with her current frightened and distorted expression, it looked even more terrifying.

  She suddenly became speechless as if her throat was being pinched when she saw her brother being brutally whipped by Meng Xuan.

  "......useless......you're really useless......aren't you always saying you're the number one in Siling City? How can you be beaten by a waste like him......I don't have a brother like you, you're so embarrassing......"

  Xiao Qing suddenly scolded, scolding until the end, directly crying, covering her face and running into the crowd.

  "Little friend, let's still give Xiao Shao Ye some face and put him down!"

  At this moment, a gentle and warm voice sounded, but it was unknown when a big monk wearing a gray cassock appeared beside him. He had a square head, big ears, hard facial features, but his eyes were filled with compassion, surprisingly, he was the Master Chengdeng of the Great Zen Temple.

  "Oh? When did Master arrive?"

  Meng Xuan put down Xiao Yufei, anyway, at this time, the breath in his chest was almost gone.

  Chengdeng Master smiled and said: "Neither early nor late, in any case, everything before and after is seen with one's own eyes!"

  He looked at the honest and simple Qingmu standing aside, slightly closed his eyes, then smiled at Meng Xuan: "Fortunately, it was Laozhen who saw this scene, not Shuixi Niangniang. Otherwise, the Xiao family would have gotten into big trouble!"

  From what he said, it seems like he has already seen through Aoki's true identity.

  "This monk's skills are not weak at all! There really aren't many masters in Sicheng City who can surpass him!"

  Meng Xuan nodded silently, after all, he had been cultivating in the immortal sect for seven years. He had always heard that the world's top masters were gathered in the major immortal sects. Having heard this many times, even he began to think that everyone in the mortal world was ordinary. However, after returning to Siling City, he discovered that whether it was Leng Daoshi or this monk Jingdeng, they all had their own unique qualities and were not inferior to some of the elders in the immortal sects.

  "It's good if Master sees it; if the Xiao family doesn't give up, then Master can be a witness!"

  Meng Xuan smiled and said a sentence.

  This time, not only did he beat up the young master of the Xiao family, but also scratched the face of the Xiao family's young lady. Although it was their own fault, if the Xiao family were to make a fuss about it, there would be some trouble. However, with Master Qingdeng as a witness, things became much simpler.

  "That's natural, Meng Xiaoyou, there's a wine shop next door, why don't you and I go have a cup of clear tea?"

  Master Chengdeng smiled and invited him.

  Meng Xuan smiled and said: "Drinking tea is so boring, Master won't even spare a cup of wine for his junior?"

  Last time at Leng's house, Meng Xuan discovered that Master Qingdeng actually didn't mind the smell of meat.

  Chengdeng Master sighed and said: "Having wine is naturally good, but unfortunately this old monk's pockets are empty..."

  "Haha, but I'm not defenseless, I still have some silver on me!"

  Meng Xuan did not expect that this master, who looked like a wise and powerful monk, would end up in such a miserable state, but fortunately he was not short of money.

  Let's put it this way, in this temple of four images, as soon as the monk opens his mouth, I don't know how many people will rush to stuff money into his hands!

  The three immediately entered the adjacent Drunken Moon Building, and the shopkeeper, knowing the identities of the two men, directly invited them to the second floor's luxurious seat. Meng Xuan threw ten taels of silver to the shopkeeper, ordering him to bring up good wine and dishes, and also to bring several plates of exquisite and delicious pastries for Qingmu.

  "Meng Xiaoyou, I have a question for you, Master!"

  After drinking several cups, Master Chengdeng spoke up.

  Meng Xuan smiled and said: "Master, please go on!"

  Master Qingdeng said: "Little friend thinks, how many people want to enter the immortal gate?"

  Meng Xuan didn't expect it to be such a question, and he smiled wryly, saying: "It's not just that there are many ways to describe it, I'm afraid that in the Four Symbol City, from eight years old to eighty years old, there aren't many people who don't want to enter the immortal sect?"

  The Master of the Clear Lamp nodded and said, "Does that young friend think there are too few disciples in the Immortal Sect?"

  Meng Xuan couldn't understand why he would ask two contradictory questions and was slightly taken aback.

  Master Chéngdēng didn't wait for him to respond, and with a sigh, continued: "Twelve years ago, in the Eastern Sea County of the Chu Domain, a child was born with a naturally chaotic body. From the moment he was born, red light filled the sky, heavenly music descended, and with one breath, he pierced through the nine heavens. It can be said that this kind of genius, from the first breath they took in their life, was equivalent to what ordinary people would achieve after decades or even hundreds of years of cultivation. This one breath also startled the seven major immortal sects of the Chu Domain, and each sect sent their elders to come and take this child into their own sect. As a result, it even triggered a great war. In the end, the Tàichū Dào Sect won at the cost of three elders' and dozens of disciples' lives, and took him in...

  "Is it that kid with the surname Zhan......"

  Meng Xuan nodded slightly, and he had also heard of this extraordinary genius's name.

  Master Chengleng continued, "Three years ago, in the northern wilderness, a Snow Domain Spirit Wolf appeared, carrying a child to the entrance of a tribal yurt. Later, cultivators discovered that the child was a reincarnated body, born with an understanding of reason and principle. Any sword manual or Daoist scripture he glanced at, he could practice and master instantly... This matter shocked even the Supreme Master of the Purple Wei Sect, who wielded his sword across ten million miles, slaughtering tens of thousands of people from over a dozen tribes in the wilderness, to bring the child back into the sect..."

  "It's Snow Domain Wolf Child..." Meng Xuan nodded, he had also heard of it.

  Then, Master Chengdeng said that there were four or five more people, all of whom were extraordinary geniuses who had appeared in recent years. They all possessed unusual features: some were born with immortal pupils, others had golden wings on their backs, and some were born with rare treasures by their side. Their innate talents were not the same, but they shared one thing in common: when they were born, they shocked the major powers of various factions, who either wanted to kill them until blood flowed like rivers or bring them into their own sects as inner disciples.

  The Master of the Clear Lamp smiled and said, "Are these really the ultimate geniuses? Not necessarily. Eight years ago, a lone girl went to the Eastern Sea Holy Land alone, facing the immortal gate that everyone in the world would break their heads to worship, she only said, who gives me the best conditions, I will join whoever's family... then on the mountain of the Seven Great Immortal Sects of the Eastern Sea, she revealed a bit of her talent..."

  Meng Xuan couldn't help but laugh bitterly and said, "Master, this isn't just something I've heard of, I've even seen it..."

  "Have you seen?" Master Chengdeng was also slightly startled.

  Meng Xuan nodded and said, "You're talking about the Hong Wan Niangzi who triggered a fierce battle at Donghai Qixian Mountain and was listed as the first true disciple of the sect at the age of ten? I saw her once when she came to visit my master with Beidou's elder at Qingcong Xianmen. She has a natural pre-heavenly body, with eight divine lights protecting her back, indeed extraordinary!"

  "Ah, so you've met the legendary genius!" Master Chengdeng smiled and said: "To be able to get Hongwan Xian Nu to pay a visit, it's likely that Meng Xiaoyou's master is also an extraordinary figure. Unfortunately, after your master left, Qingcong Xiandao no longer has the ability to recognize people! However... I've been rambling on for half a day now, young friend should know what I want to say by now?"

  Meng Xuan smiled wryly and said, "Master, you mean to say that there are always people who want to join the Immortal Sect, but what the sect lacks is truly talented disciples, right?"

  Chengdeng Master burst out laughing and said, "Young friend is wrong. What I meant to say is that Qingcong Mountain expelling you from the mountain gate was truly an unwise move, one that can almost be counted as one of the top ten foolish deeds in Chu domain over the past hundred years..."

  "Haha, Master, you're laughing at me, what virtue or ability does this little one have, to be compared with those who change their fate?"

  Meng Xuan smiled wryly, this old monk was too smooth-tongued, his praise made him feel a bit embarrassed.

  If he hadn't cultivated the Great Sickness Immortal Art, his innate talent wouldn't be worth mentioning. Not to mention those freaks with famous names in the Tianyuan Continent, just take the little fox girl Qingmu by his side for example. She's still young and her cultivation method is quite ordinary, yet she has already approached the peak of True Qi Realm. This kind of innate talent, if not for her congenital illness, would have probably made her famous and been recruited by various major sects.

  "Hah, old monk is quite skilled at observing physiognomy. This young friend's future accomplishments may not surpass those freaks, but they won't be mediocre either!" Master Qingdeng said with a smile, then continued: "Actually, after saying so much, the old monk's most important purpose has only one! I have an old friend in Lingxiao Sect who has been entrusting me for over a decade to pay close attention and inform him if there are any good candidates..."

  "Uh... Master, are you going to introduce me to a master?"

  Meng Xuan seemed to understand the old monk's intention.

  Chengdeng Master smiled slightly and said: "Anyway, young friend will eventually find a place to settle down in a fairy door, won't you?"

  "It's indeed this matter, but let's talk about it later when things have settled down a bit, trouble has come now!"

  Meng Xuan smiled and said a word, looking out the window, and Qingmu, who was eating snacks and watching people passing by downstairs, also cast his gaze in one direction.

  But at this time, the Xiao family had already arrived.
