Chapter 8: Please Call Me an Angel Investor

"What do you mean the Group Owner's level is too low?"

"If the level is too low, why invite him? Are you teasing me?"

Zhang Xuan could not help but mutter to himself, and after a round of searching, he found two Group Members who could be added.

Originally, both could have been added, but because Zhang Xuan's level was too low, the other party could not get in, which really gave Zhang Xuan a headache.

Sleeping for ten thousand years in one go—just hearing this title, one knew this person was extraordinary.

To be able to sleep for over ten thousand years, they were definitely a figure akin to an Immortal or a Buddha.

Perhaps he could have swindled some Immortal arts from him, or even something not inferior to the Covering the Sky arts, but as it turned out, he found him but couldn't pull him in. Sigh.

Zhang Xuan angrily accused the Chat Group, and the Chat Group calmly gave a response.

The response was roughly a rather brief set of rules.

"Their cultivation level slightly exceeds Tier 2 by a large margin and is about to reach Tier 3, and they are in a state of deep sleep; they cannot be pulled into the Chat Group for the time being. They can be reserved for fifteen days."

"If the Group Owner's level is sufficient during this period, you may click to confirm."

"Aha?"

Zhang Xuan was stunned for a moment. To be able to sleep for ten thousand years, yet their strength and realm are this pathetic? And sleeping for ten thousand years, are they still sleeping now?

What kind of God is this?

"To be able to live for ten thousand years, yet their strength level is so poor, so pathetic?"

Zhang Xuan scratched his head, his expectations for the other party vanishing instantly.

Living so long and yet being so pathetic, even if they have cultivation methods, they probably aren't very good.

It is easy to obtain Chang Sheng, but it is useless; in a difficulty level like Covering the Sky, if you don't have the corresponding combat power and only live a long time, it is of no use at all.

Perhaps they have too many active substances in their body and will be targeted by a Supreme in a Forbidden Zone ahead of time, being beaten until their soul flies away and their spirit scatters on the spot.

While he was pondering this, there was new movement within the Chat Group.

Ding, Not Wanting to Be a Monk Meng Qi has joined the Chat Group!

Zhang Xuan: Congratulations, congratulations, welcome the newcomer to the Chat Group.

Zhang Sanfeng: Congratulations, congratulations, welcome the newcomer to the Chat Group.

Zhang Xuan: Newcomer, post a photo (drooling emoji)!

Zhang Sanfeng:...

At Shaolin Temple, Meng Qi, who had just finished being tonsured and was lying on the bed feeling sorry for himself, unable to sleep, heard the notification sound coming from his mind, along with that string of messages.

He was completely dumbfounded.

"Wanjie Chat Group?"

Meng Qi looked at the antique-style room for Shaolin disciples, which was full of ancient flavor; the Shaolin disciple who was tonsured with him was sleeping soundly.

Yet the notification sound that rang in his mind was clear.

That unique chat record welcoming the newcomer left him even more stunned.

"Could this be my Golden Finger?"

After pondering for a moment, Meng Qi suddenly became excited. Having just arrived in this Shi Jie, he hadn't even sorted out his thoughts before being sent to Shaolin Temple by the people in his family, who wanted to sever all ties with him.

Does this fit the status of a transmigrator? It doesn't fit at all, yet the tonsuring process was so fast.

It didn't even allow him to refuse, and this body itself was only ten years old or so.

If he really wanted to refuse joining Shaolin Temple, one, he didn't have the ability to refuse that overbearing attendant; two, if he refused to join Shaolin Temple, at his age of just over ten, he would probably starve to death at the foot of the mountain in this era.

Not Wanting to Be a Monk: Wanjie Chat Group? Zhang Sanfeng? True Person Zhang!

Meng Qi suddenly perked up.

He had already suffered enough blows during the day; having just entered Shaolin Temple, he had no memories at all.

Before he could even figure out the situation, he was assigned to the Miscellaneous Affairs Courtyard by the elders to become a Miscellaneous Disciple, without even a chance to practice martial arts. He had thought his life would end there.

He didn't expect that when he went to sleep at night, things would take a turn for the better; his Golden Finger had finally arrived.

"Hey, Zhang Xuan, Zhang Sanfeng?"

Looking at the two people bubbling up in the Chat Group, Meng Qi was even more joyful. He didn't know who Zhang Xuan was, but he certainly had an impression of Zhang Sanfeng.

That was a Martial Dao Grandmaster of a generation; he had watched Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber plenty of times, and his childhood Martial Arts dream was still in his heart.

Looking at the side, Junior Brother Zhenhui, with his red lips and white teeth, had already fallen into a deep sleep, completely unaffected by joining Shaolin Temple and being tonsured, sleeping soundly.

Meng Qi couldn't help but smile.

"Do not make noise, rest quietly, or the Precepts Courtyard will punish you!"

A low shout suddenly came from outside the room. Meng Qi hurriedly quieted down, once again feeling that his fate was controlled by others.

But even as he curled up under the covers, feeling the Chat Group in his mind, he still felt excited.

Not Wanting to Be a Monk: Chat Group? Who are you all?

On Wudang Mountain, Zhang Sanfeng looked at the "monk" suffix of the newcomer, his brows slightly raised.

"Could it be a Shaolin monk?"

Zhang Sanfeng: Is the little monk from Shaolin? This old Daoist is Zhang Sanfeng of Wudang. I wonder which generation of disciple the little monk is in Shaolin?

"Is it really Zhang Sanfeng?"

Meng Qi suddenly became excited. If it really was that Martial Dao Grandmaster Zhang Sanfeng, then his future path would be much easier to walk.

A Miscellaneous Disciple of Shaolin Temple cannot practice profound martial arts, but he could ask Zhang Sanfeng for them.

This is his Golden Finger; Martial Dao Grandmaster Zhang Sanfeng has too many lifelong martial arts: Pure Yang Limitless Art, Taiji Sword Art, Taiji Fist—any one of them counts as top-tier.

If he could receive Zhang Sanfeng's teachings, even if he were to return to secular life and go down the mountain, it wouldn't necessarily be a bad thing.

Perhaps in the future, he could really become a martial arts The Hero in white, wearing a long sword at his waist.

Dressed in white, walking the rivers and lakes using the ethereal and transcendent Taiji Sword Art that borrows force to strike—just thinking about it made him feel happy.

Not Wanting to Be a Monk Meng Qi: I am a disciple of the Shaolin Temple Miscellaneous Affairs Courtyard, Disciple of the Zhen Generation Zhending, greetings to True Person Zhang of Wudang.

"Disciple of the Zhen Generation?"

Zhang Sanfeng was stunned; he was very familiar with the seniority rankings of Shaolin Temple, after all, he had come out of Shaolin Temple back in the day.

Shaolin seniority is ranked according to Tian, Wu, Hong, Du, Kong, and Yuan; he had never heard of a Zhen generation.

But after being stunned, he suddenly realized that this was the Wanjie Chat Group, so it was reasonable to think that it connected the heavens and myriad worlds, and that different Shaolin Temples in different worlds would have different seniority rankings.

After all, the worlds were already different.

At the same time, Zhang Sanfeng keenly grasped another point: Zhending addressed him as True Person Zhang.

With Zhang Sanfeng's current status and position, it was reasonable for him to be called True Person wherever he went.

But in the Wanjie Chat Group, a newcomer could call him True Person Zhang; although he called himself a Daoist, he shouldn't be called True Person directly by someone, right?

Zhang Sanfeng: @Not Wanting to Be a Monk Meng Qi, does my little friend know me?

In the Miscellaneous Affairs Courtyard, Meng Qi was stunned; Zhang Sanfeng was naturally a household name, a Grandmaster of a generation, but he had never met him before, so calling him that so suddenly was indeed a bit abrupt.

However, it didn't matter; if it was confirmed that this was truly the Zhang Sanfeng from The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber, then he could use his advantage of knowing the plot in advance to make Zhang Sanfeng feel favorably toward him.

At that time, he would also be able to practice the supreme arts of Wudang.

Not Wanting to Be a Monk Meng Qi: True Person Zhang is the Sect Leader of Wudang and a Grandmaster of a generation, so he naturally deserves the title of True Person.

Zhang Sanfeng: You know me too? Could it be that the world I am in also has a projection in the world my little friend is in, and there are strange tales circulating?

Meng Qi was stunned; he didn't expect Zhang Sanfeng to ask like that.

This didn't seem like the Zhang Sanfeng in his memory, but thinking that this was the Wanjie Chat Group, there were different people from myriad worlds.

Perhaps there was a fellow countryman of his in the group, or someone who had read The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber had spoiled the plot for Zhang Sanfeng; thinking about it, it felt like a matter of course.

Thinking of this, Meng Qi took another look at Zhang Xuan, who had welcomed the newcomer earlier, and couldn't help but @ Zhang Xuan.

Not Wanting to Be a Monk Meng Qi: @Zhang Xuan, the Heavenly King covers the earth tiger?

Zhang Xuan's mouth twitched; if he hadn't been sure who Not Wanting to Be a Monk Meng Qi was before?

Now he was certain in an instant.

It should be the protagonist of The Supreme, that reckless Vajra Meng Qi.

Of course, his later title was more widely known: Heavenly Venerable Yuanshi.

"Damn, didn't it say that due to level restrictions, only Tier 1, 2, and 3 characters could be added... Oh right, it's Tier 1, 2, and 3 characters, not Tier 1, 2, and 3 worlds."

Zhang Xuan was shocked, suddenly realizing he had thought it through wrong.

The rule the chat group gave him earlier was that he could only add Tier 1, 2, and 3 characters in the early stages; Zhang Xuan had mistakenly thought it meant characters within Tier 1, 2, and 3 worlds, not expecting it to be character levels.

"Damn, looking at it this way, many very strong characters can join."

Zhang Xuan was shocked, suddenly feeling that the whole world had opened up; he had been wanting to add high-level characters all along.

Especially wanting to take advantage of this chat group upgrade to add characters from the Zhetian World, but now looking at it again, he actually didn't want to anymore.

High-level characters are harder to fool, their strength and combat power are terrifying, especially if they are still in the same world; what if it's an evil character, and he accidentally adds an Ancient Emperor from a Forbidden Zone who has slashed his own blade?

Then that Ancient Emperor notices Zhang Xuan's difference and crosses the endless galaxy to carry out a targeted strike on Zhang Xuan; that would be a huge disaster.

Zhang Xuan didn't think he could compare to some Ancient Emperor or other terrifying character in a Forbidden Zone in a short time.

On the contrary, top characters in other worlds who have not yet risen are the ones who benefit Zhang Xuan the most by joining the chat group.

After all, these characters do not have the ability to strike across worlds, and they will definitely rise in the future; it is no problem to learn some of the most top-tier cultivation methods from them.

Cultivating is fast and steady, and there is not much risk; it is simply as good as it gets.

Especially characters like the future Heavenly Venerable Yuanshi Meng Qi, who is a high-quality stock among high-quality stocks; he must be well cultivated (fooled).

He doesn't even need Zhang Xuan to spend much effort; the three most top-tier Existences of the Other Shore—Yuanshi, Moral, and Lingbao—will do their best to cultivate him.

And Zhang Xuan also confirmed Meng Qi's current status and position from Meng Qi's words; he had just traveled to Shaolin Temple and had his head shaved.

He was at his most apprehensive and uneasy moment; giving Meng Qi some comfort and help at this time, Meng Qi would definitely keep it in his heart, and the future return would definitely be enormous.

It can be said that investing a little in Meng Qi now can be recovered with ten or a hundred times the profit in the future; it can be called angel investment.
