Chapter 312: Pretending Genius, Magical Pistol
Zhang Wanzhi, who has always been competitive and pretentious, chose the only route to surpass Li Xiuchang and become the most handsome guy.
He challenged the Ascension Steps with his Qi Refining Cultivation!
But he didn't expect that he was directly rejected because his cultivation was too low.
Because there are too many people challenging the Ascension Steps recently, the threshold of the Ascension Pavilion is set very high. A mere Qi Refining cultivator is definitely not qualified to obtain the Ascension Steps.
Li Xiuchang was somewhat fortunate that the disciples of the Ascension Pavilion stopped Brother Zhang and did not let him do anything wrong.
Although the young man changed his face and his cultivation only showed the Qi Refining Stage, Li Xiuchang was still very sure that he was Brother Zhang Wanzhi!
For this handsomeness from the inside out, there is no one else but him!
So even though he was only in the Qi Refining Stage, he was so shameless that he wanted to challenge the Ascension Steps, and no one around him mocked him.
Even the disciples of the Ascension Pavilion only stopped him because of the rules, and even advised him kindly.
"My junior brother, the seniors of the sect have ordered that we cannot let you in. Otherwise... you can join my Dengxian Pavilion. As long as you become a disciple of Dengxian Pavilion, you will be qualified to challenge the Heavenly Steps!" A warm and gentle female disciple of Dengxian Pavilion suggested.
"No need." Zhang Wanzhi waved his hand and coughed. "I wanted to get along with you as an ordinary person, but I didn't expect to be rejected by the coldness. I won't pretend anymore. I am actually the 1,563rd generation descendant of the Zhang family, the first family in the world of immortal cultivation. Zhang... Yuanfu!"
Li Xiuchang almost couldn't help but spit out the smoke in his lungs, which almost caused large-scale casualties.
How did Senior Brother Zhang steal his vest?
Everyone around was stunned. Zhang family? Which Zhang family?
I haven't heard of it...
The Zhang family disappeared for tens of thousands of years, and the legend of the Zhang family has long disappeared in the world.
"Haven't you heard of the weapon-refining Zhang family?"
Zhang Wanzhi saw the bewildered faces of the people around him, and he rarely felt guilty. It was because he refused to marry and have children that the Zhang family had fallen to this point.
The Zhang family, which was once famous, is no longer known to anyone.
He couldn't help but sigh in his heart: Why is there no woman in the world who matches him?
At this time, an old man in the crowd said in surprise: "The weapon-refining Zhang family? Could it be the weapon-refining Zhang family from tens of thousands of years ago?"
Zhang Wanzhi breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, someone still remembered his Zhang family!
If no one responded, he would ask Li Xiuchang to cooperate with him.
"That's right. My Zhang family has not been born for tens of thousands of years. I didn't expect that someone still remembers it."
At this time, someone had already asked the old man about the weapon-refining Zhang family. There were traces of the existence of the Zhang family in many ancient books, and each one described the former glory of the Zhang family.
The information about the Zhang family quickly spread around through the divine consciousness.
The onlookers were even more surprised and doubtful. They thought Zhang Yuanfu was talking nonsense. They didn't expect that there really was such a family!
With a history of at least tens of thousands of years, the strength must be strong.
But why would such an ancient family let the heir of the family in the Qi training period come out to venture out?
It's a bit too early to travel in the Qi training period, right?
For a while, some people doubted the authenticity of Zhang Wanzhi's identity.
The old man who knew something about the Zhang family directly questioned: "Hasn't the Zhang family been extinct for a long time?"
What extinct? I just ascended to heaven, not dead... Zhang Wanzhi stared and said:
"My Zhang family just hides from the world."
He didn't talk nonsense anymore, and took out a beautiful spiritual treasure armor directly, saying: "This Tianqing Liuyin armor, my Zhang family ancestor made two identical ones back then, one in my hand, and the other was given to your Dengxian Pavilion, representing the friendship between my Zhang family and your Dengxian Pavilion."
A real spiritual treasure was taken out, and the gatekeeper suddenly couldn't make up his mind, and hurriedly reported to his superiors.
After a while, the Rain Crane Patriarch whom Li Xiuchang had met before arrived on the first floor.
She took the Sky Blue Silver Armor, gently rubbed the surface of the armor, and nodded, saying: "It is indeed the work of Zhang Tianqing, the former patriarch of the Zhang family. It is exactly the same as the one in my Dengxian Pavilion treasury."
Zhang Tianqing?
Sky Blue Silver Armor?
Li Xiuchang thought that Senior Brother Zhang's narcissism and bad naming were also passed down from generation to generation in the Zhang family?
The Rain Crane Patriarch returned the Sky Blue Silver Armor to Zhang Wanzhi and said: "The Zhang family has always been an ally of my Dengxian Pavilion. Since you are the heir of the Zhang family, you are naturally qualified to challenge the Dengtian Steps."
She did not despise Zhang Wanzhi because he was only in the Qi Training Stage, or put on the airs of a senior. Instead, she looked at Zhang Wanzhi with a little meaning.
The Zhang family disappeared for tens of thousands of years, which can't be explained by seclusion.
There must be a lot of hidden secrets.
Moreover, the Zhang family has been a family of only one heir for generations, and every generation of heirs is a peerless genius without exception. Zhang Yuanfu, who looks weak, will grow up in a blink of an eye.
Finally, he has obtained the qualification to ascend to the heavenly steps. Zhang Wanzhi walks like a dragon and a tiger, and walks with the wind. He arrives at the most central area of the first floor in a few steps.
Li Xiuchang saw this and knew that Senior Brother Zhang was going to show off, so he quietly stepped back and left the stage to Senior Brother Zhang.
Zhang Wanzhi looked up at the sky and shouted softly: "Stairs!"
Then a rotating staircase fell from the sky, and the first step just fell at Zhang Wanzhi's feet.
Zhang Wanzhi stepped onto the first step, and then time seemed to stop.
Outsiders didn't know what problem Zhang Wanzhi was facing.
But it seemed reasonable that he was stuck on the first step in the Qi training period.
Only Li Xiuchang knew that Senior Brother Zhang must be holding back a big move!
Time passed by...
Zhang Wanzhi spent an unreasonable amount of time on the first step, and everyone could see that something was wrong.
"He spent so much time on the first step, either he was going to skip a level or he was eliminated directly, right?"
"I think he was definitely eliminated. Even if he was going to skip a level, it shouldn't take so long, right?"
"Who knows? There are so many tough guys challenging the Ascension Steps recently, anything could happen!"
As everyone was discussing, they saw a green light suddenly appear under Zhang Wanzhi's feet.
The green light appeared, which was a sign of skipping a level!
Whoosh!
Zhang Wanzhi was lifted by the green light, soaring into the air, and disappeared from many people's sight in a blink of an eye.
Because he had already passed the first level and reached the second level!
"My Three Great Dao Ancestors! Another hundred-level jump!"
"But the first level's hundred-level jump is a bit low in gold content."
Many onlookers immediately squeezed forward, looked up, and followed Zhang Wanzhi's figure.
But they saw that Zhang Wanzhi did not stop on the second level, he was still rising!
Zhang Wanzhi flew directly to the third level!
But... this is still not his limit!
"It's the third level, at which level will he stop?"
"Jumping two hundred levels in one go, breaking the record, awesome!"
"Why doesn't he stop?"
"Fuck!"
"Why did he get to the fourth level!"
Exclamations came from all around.
Only Li Xiuchang looked calm, isn't this the basic exercise of Senior Brother Zhang?
It's only the fourth level, this is just the beginning!
Sure enough, the fourth level couldn't hold Zhang Wanzhi, so he jumped to the fifth level.
"Hiss..."
There was a sound of cold air coming from all around.
The fifth level naturally couldn't accommodate Zhang Wanzhi, a big Buddha, so he flew to the sixth level.
At this moment, there was no doubt around?
All praise, all flattery!
"As expected of the descendant of an ancient family!"
"A profound background makes him different!"
"Such a genius is rare, and only a family with a profound heritage can cultivate one."
Li Xiuchang shook his head. Such a genius could not be cultivated even by a family with a long history. Only cheating by hiding one's cultivation could make him appear.
He also looked up to see how far Senior Brother Zhang Wanzhi could fly.
He knew that Senior Brother Zhang's goal must be to fly to the ninth floor in one leap.
But can he do it?
Under Li Xiuchang's gaze, Zhang Wanzhi continued to move forward and reached the seventh floor.
At this moment, the whole audience was silent, and everyone was nervously watching the only focus, looking forward to where he would go.
Finally, the eighth floor!
Zhang Wanzhi flew all the way from the first floor to the eighth floor, crossing seven hundred steps in the middle!
With less than a hundred steps left, he could pass the level directly and reach the top, achieving a feat that no one had ever done before.
In fact, he had already made history at this time, flying over seven hundred steps in one leap, which no one had ever done before.
Zhang Wanzhi was still ascending on the eighth floor.
One level, two levels... Ten levels, twenty levels...
Until, when he flew over the 87th step, his body suddenly stopped and landed on this step.
The green light under his feet also disappeared.
This means that the level skipping is over.
"After all, it's still one step short."
Li Xiuchang felt a little regretful.
The surroundings suddenly burst into exclamations and cheers like a tsunami.
But while everyone expressed admiration and shock, they also felt a little regretful.
Although jumping 780 steps in one go has created history.
But there are only a dozen steps away from passing the level directly!
Just a little bit.
But he didn't pass the level.
Everyone couldn't help but feel sorry.
At this time, Zhang Wanzhi, who was standing on the eighth floor, sighed with regret: "It still doesn't work."
He originally wanted to jump to the ninth floor, but he still failed.
However, looking at the shocked people below, he was still happy, so he didn't worry too much.
He did not continue to challenge and attack the ninth floor as others thought, but gave up climbing up directly.
Seeing Zhang Wanzhi flying down directly from the eighth floor, everyone was stunned.
There were only a dozen steps to the ninth floor, and he gave up?
Not even willing to try?
You know, if he gave up the challenge like this, he would have to start all over again if he wanted to attack the ninth floor in the future.
And the new knowledge he contributed this time would not be able to help him climb to the eighth floor next time.
"Why not attack the ninth floor?"
Many people felt sorry for him.
Zhang Wanzhi smiled confidently: "If I pass the level, how can I challenge it next time? When I come next time, I will definitely jump to the top!"
So that's it... Everyone understood Zhang Wanzhi's plan.
At this time, no one doubted his determination and ability.
Li Xiuchang secretly gave a thumbs up: Great, so I can pretend again next time!
One pretend, two pretends, sustainable pretending, Senior Brother Zhang is really a little pretending genius.
"Goodbye."
Zhang Wanzhi ran away after pretending, and never stayed for long.
Patriarch Yuhe wanted to keep Zhang Wanzhi and talk to him about the current situation of the Zhang family.
But Zhang Wanzhi did not even look back, and went straight out of the Ascension Pavilion, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
Li Xiuchang knew that from this moment on, a genius named "Zhang Yuanfu" would become famous in the Immortal Shadow Realm.
After Senior Brother Zhang Wanzhi's disturbance, the number of people who challenged the Ascension Steps would drop sharply.
However, Li Xiuchang's goal has been achieved long ago, and any exciting new knowledge that appears in Dengxian Pavilion will not be able to contact him.
His operation gave Dengxian Pavilion an advantage and gained him a lot of new knowledge in vain.
It also made the Confucian and Taoist treasure of Dedenxian Pavilion significantly stronger.
Li Xiuchang stayed in Dengxian Pavilion for a few more days, spending about two thousand opportunities for enlightenment, instilling all the technical knowledge he could accept at this stage.
The skill level and length value have naturally increased with the tide.
…
Li Xiuchang returned to Xianchen Sect from Dengxian Pavilion and found that the focus of everyone's discussion had changed from Li Xiuchang to the mysterious "Zhang Yuanfu".
Zhang Yuanfu is like a gust of wind, coming and going without a trace. After appearing in front of people in Dengxian Pavilion, he disappeared, leaving only his legend in the world.
At this time, Zhang Wanzhi was looking secretly happy, eavesdropping on other people's discussions about Zhang Yuanfu.
He felt that using this name to show off was even more satisfying than using the identity of "Zhang Wanzhi". After all, it was closer to his true identity.
So much so that he came up with the idea of not continuing to use the "Zhang Yuanfu" vest and going out for a swim?
After pretending to be in Dengxian Pavilion, you can also pretend to be asking Jian Sect and Yin Tian Sect!
Finally, come to Fairy Dust Sect for a wave of costumes, it will be absolutely blasting!
Chen Changsheng watched silently and knew that if Zhang Wanzhi continued to be so promiscuous, sooner or later he would get into trouble, so he discussed with Li Xiuchang:
"In the past few days, if you have nothing to do, please ask Senior Brother Zhang to learn how to refine weapons. Don't leave him idle."
Li Xiuchang probably understood what Senior Brother Chen was up to, but how long could he hold Senior Brother Zhang Wanzhi down just by relying on him to learn weapon refining?
"Just wait until his freshness wears off. After a while, let him go to the Demon Suppression World. If other new things attract his attention, he won't be able to remember this one."
Chen Changsheng had already made plans.
Li Xiuchang's eyes lit up: "Senior brother, are you planning to take us to the Demon Suppression Realm?"
The teleportation array leading to the Demon Suppression Realm has been set up a long time ago, but due to various reasons, no one except Chen Changsheng has ever been there.
Chen Changsheng nodded: "I will send Wenwen over when the time comes."
Having said this, he had a headache.
With the help of a group of pure land monks, Wenwen has eliminated the demonic cultivators in the turtle world.
Originally, Chen Changsheng wanted to guide it to other demonic cultivation worlds.
But the little turtle learned a lesson from the pain and quietly left his contact information with the monks in the Pure Land world.
As soon as it discovers other demonic cultivation worlds, it will directly send the route to the monks in the Pure Land world, then pat its butt and leave without getting deeply involved.
This not only solves the problem of demonic cultivation, but also does not take up your own time.
So Chen Changsheng's plan failed.
Rather than continuing to let the little turtle wander around the world and cause trouble, it is better to control its whereabouts in your own hands.
Chen Changsheng planned to send the little turtle to the Demon Suppression Realm.
In the demon-suppressing world, the most common ones are monsters. The little turtle can do whatever harm it wants, as long as the sealed terrifying existence is not released.
And according to Shi Tian, the seal imprisoning that terrifying existence is not a decoration, and Wenwen doesn't have the ability to destroy it.
It just so happened that Zhang Wanzhi had also become promiscuous recently, so Chen Changsheng planned to throw these two unstable factors, Zhang Wanzhi and Wenwen, into the demon-suppressing world.
Li Xiuchang also wanted to visit the Demon Suppressing World for a long time and readily agreed.
Chen Changsheng said: "We still have to wait for a while. Once I have made arrangements for Wenwen, I will trouble you to keep an eye on your senior brother Zhang during this period."
"Wrap it around me!"
Isn't it just to ask Senior Brother Zhang to take lessons? Even if Senior Brother Chen doesn't tell him, Li Xiuchang will do it.
After receiving the enlightenment, he had a lot of insights in his mind that needed to be digested, and it was the time when he needed to seek answers from his senior brothers.
Li Xiuchang immediately found Senior Brother Zhang Wanzhi, and regardless of Senior Brother Zhang's reluctance, he forcibly pulled him to teach him a lesson.
Zhang Wanzhi was actually mainly focused on eavesdropping on other people's discussions and compliments about him. He was a little unhappy being forced into class by Li Xiuchang.
Li Xiuchang could only follow Zhang Wanzhi's preferences and come up with some novel ideas.
"Senior Brother Zhang, I had an idea before. Today's offensive magic weapons or spiritual treasures have great requirements on the user's cultivation level. Is it possible to create offensive magic weapons and magic weapons that can be used by even ordinary people with low cultivation level? Lingbao?"
"If you can create a treasure that is as powerful as an immortal's strike and leave it to me to use, wouldn't it be possible to avoid the rules of ascension and bring out the combat power of an immortal?"
Li Xiuchang had discussed this issue with Senior Brother Chen Changsheng before.
If a young child, holding an immortal weapon, kills an immortal, the ascension rules will not be triggered.
But the problem is that young children cannot control fairy weapons.
Zhang Wanzhi did not show much interest in this and said:
"I've tried it a long time ago, but it's basically impossible to achieve. The only way is to leave a mana in an immortal weapon that can drive the immortal weapon, and then let others use it, but this is similar to a talisman, it only has one strike. If you use it again, you need to replenish your mana."
This is the same as the golden abacus magic weapon left to Li Xiuchang by senior brother Gui Wuyan. It contained a magical power of senior brother Gui, allowing Li Xiuchang to use the abacus magic weapon once.
But it is only used once, just like a one-time use talisman.
And although the abacus magic weapon was powerful, it did not explode into an attack reaching the level of an immortal at that time.
If a fairy-level attack really breaks out, Li Xiuchang's own safety will not be guaranteed, which is equivalent to dying together with the enemy.
Li Xiuchang thought for a while: "It may be impossible to let mortals or low-level cultivators master the power of immortals, but it should be possible to let them have the ability to threaten high-level cultivators."
The reason why he had this idea was inspired by the hot weapons in his previous life.
Under the muzzle of the gun, all beings are equal.
No matter how big the gap in strength between the two sides is, a gun can reverse the gap.
So, can he try to create a "gun" for the world of immortal cultivation?
Zhang Wanzhi asked back: "Why bother to study this kind of thing that we can't use?"
Li Xiuchang smiled and replied: "We can't use it, but someone needs it, such as... the people in the demon-suppressing world."
The people in the demon-suppressing world can't practice, but they have to face the threat of monsters.
If there is such a weapon to help them, it should make their situation better.
Zhang Wanzhi paused, then said: "Tell me what you think."
Li Xiuchang was not a firearms expert in his previous life, and he knew nothing about the structure of firearms, but he knew the general principle and told Zhang Wanzhi what he knew.
Zhang Wanzhi was very good at hands-on work. He made a "pistol" on the spot based on Li Xiuchang's rough description.
This thing, which can be called a pistol, looks a little different from the pistol in Li Xiuchang's impression, but it also has a trigger and a muzzle as big as a copper coin.
Pull the trigger and an iron ball will be shot out.
Zhang Wanzhi shot Li Xiuchang in the chest and asked, "How is it?"
"It's not very powerful. It can only allow ordinary people to deal with wild beasts, but the advantage is that even ordinary people can use it."
Li Xiuchang's eyes lit up.
He and Zhang Wanzhi are both high-level refiners, not short-sighted people.
Although this "pistol" is not very powerful, it is a foundation, a good start. If modifications are made on this basis, there is still a lot of potential to be tapped.
Now this pistol is very scientific, but it is not immortal at all.
Next, it is time to add some immortal elements to it to increase its power.
Li Xiuchang successfully found something that Zhang Wanzhi was interested in, so that he gave up the idea of going out and wandering around.
He only left one clone to study the "Magic Pistol" with Senior Brother Zhang Wanzhi.
The main body returned to Donggeng District and began to try a new practice.
When the understanding of the Dao reaches a certain level, you can enter the origin world and use the Dao to cast the golden body!
This is a special way of body refining.
Li Xiuchang's sixth-level body refining has reached a limit in the strength of the physical body and is also at a bottleneck.
If you want to continue to break through, it is useless to just drink medicine and strengthen the physical body. It is difficult to achieve a qualitative change.
In the sixth level of body refining, you should try "body and Dao".
Use the Dao to cast the golden body, the physical body is integrated with the Dao, the fists and feet are connected to the sky, and every move has the power of heaven!
The upper limit of this step is extremely high, and the sixth level of body refining is just the beginning of this realm.
Those great powers who ascended to the physical body have the Dao manifested in their eyes. They can trigger infinite Dao rhyme with a flick of their fingers, and can pull infinite Dao with a punch and a kick. It is extraordinary.
Li Xiuchang is still far away from that realm, and now is just the first attempt.
Although he had already reached the sixth level of body refinement, his previous understanding of the Great Dao was weak, and he had not been able to proceed to this step.
It was not until he achieved a small success in the Great Dao of Equality and other natural Great Daos that this condition was met.
Li Xiuchang's physical body entered the golden body state, jumped into the origin world, and began to manifest the Great Dao and cast the golden body.
