Chapter 570: A Satirical Little Story

~8 min read 1,460 words

"However, if I can be this powerful in the future, hehe..."

Thinking that he could also be like Zhang Jie in the future, waving his hand to make other Extraordinary people's attacks vanish into nothingness,

the smile on Zhang Chulan's face became lecherous again.

"Thinking about it this way, the Old Farmer Technique is also very powerful."

Thinking that he bore such a powerful inheritance, Zhang Chulan felt beautiful in his heart.

"The Old Farmer Technique is just a name Sister Baoer took; you should call it the Qi Body Origin Flow."

Seeing that Zhang Chulan was still blinded by a superficial name and didn't recognize the true face of Mount Lu, Zhang Jie reminded him.

"Qi Body Origin Flow, the Old Farmer Technique is actually the Qi Body Origin Flow?!!!"

Hearing the name Qi Body Origin Flow, Zhang Chulan couldn't remain calm anymore.

His grandfather was chased and killed by other covetous Extraordinary people because of this technique, and finally died in a foreign land.

Although he didn't understand the truth, Zhang Chulan guessed that the reason his grandfather took him and his old man to hide here and there,

hiding his name, also had an inseparable relationship with this technique.

After all, whether it was the Jin Guang Spell or the Thunder Method he regarded as his trump card, neither was something that couldn't see the light of day.

Zhang Jie was originally just a lay disciple, didn't he also receive the Jin Guang Spell?

He had previously only suspected that the Old Farmer Technique was the Qi Body Origin Flow and traded it with Zhang Jie.

Now, he finally knew the true face of that technique that forced his family to hide their names.

Zhang Jie nodded slightly to confirm: "The End of Techniques, Qi Body Origin Flow.

Isn't it easy to guess that the Qi Body Origin Flow has this ability to turn True Qi into nothingness?"

The most intuitive ability of the Qi Body Origin Flow is the ability to instantly disintegrate and dismantle all techniques,

formations, or magical artifacts constructed by "Qi," reducing them to the most primitive, non-attribute scattered Qi.

In the anime, Zhang Chulan relied on it to neutralize Zhang Lingyu's Yin Five Thunders.

This effect is very similar to the sworn elder brother of the Thirty-Six Thieves during the Jia-Shen Rebellion,

the innate extraordinary ability of the generation's Quanzhen sect leader, Wugensheng—Divine Spirit.

Wugensheng used Divine Spirit to neutralize True Qi, and then used a Mauser pistol to launch physical attacks, once dominating the Extraordinary world.

This has the same effect as the origin bullet of Emiya Kiritsugu, the magus killer who could pay any price for the dream of world peace in *Fate/Zero*:

This "ally of justice" and foster father of Emiya Shirou loaded bullets containing his own ground-up ribs into a specially made firearm.

Once it hits a magus, the "origin" attribute (cutting and combining) in the bullet

will forcibly destroy the opponent's magic circuits, causing a devastating runaway, worthy of being called the nemesis of magi.

With the Qi Body Origin Flow protecting the body, as long as the difference in cultivation between the two sides is not too great,

for example, if the current Zhang Chulan went to fight the Old Heavenly Master, otherwise he would be immune to all techniques, innately invincible.

Strictly speaking, Zhang Chulan's grandfather did not die from the *Dan Shi* poison; with his attainments in the Qi Body Origin Flow,

as long as he was given enough time, neutralizing the strange poison of the *Dan Shi* was not impossible.

Unfortunately, the people chasing him were not just the Tang Sect, but also the Quanzhen sect, and hidden experts who were clearly from famous orthodox sects.

Wheel battles, sieges, plus his own age reaching the time to die of old age, Zhang Huaiyi couldn't hold on anymore.

Even so, he killed all the experts who dared to pursue and kill him, simply fierce to an extreme degree.

After Zhang Chulan's identity was exposed, the only people who came to investigate were from the Quanzhen sect,

and they were just juniors like Xia He and Lu Liang; Zhang Huaiyi's final slaughter contributed significantly to this.

It can be said that his final battle almost took all the old guys who coveted the Qi Body Origin Flow during the Jia-Shen Rebellion

and dared to plot against him into the underworld.

And when it comes to the thickness of True Qi, who in the entire Extraordinary world can compare with Zhang Jie, who has accumulated it from multiple worlds?

"So that's how it is, so that's how it is..."

Zhang Chulan's eyes filled with hot tears, understanding his grandfather's painstaking efforts:

If he had always been an ordinary person, then the Qi Body Origin Flow would be a root of disaster and could not be left to him.

But when he was drawn into the storm, the entrusted Feng Baobao would pass the Qi Body Origin Flow to him,

giving him a trump card to face the storm directly, avoiding becoming a small boat easily overturned by wind and rain.

Zhang Jie reached out and patted Zhang Chulan on the shoulder:

"Work hard to cultivate, don't waste your grandfather's painstaking efforts."

"Yeah."

Zhang Chulan nodded heavily.

Then he showed a smiling face, rubbing his hands like a fly: "Then Brother Jie, look,

the Old Farmer Technique... Qi Body Origin Flow has already been handed over to you, then the Luo Tian Luotian Da Jiao, look..."

"Why, are you afraid I'll go back on my word? Do you want me to write you an IOU?"

Zhang Jie teased with great interest.

How would Zhang Chulan dare to ask Zhang Jie to write an IOU? He shook his head like an electric fan:

"No, no, I'm just slightly reminding you, Brother Jie.

Regarding your character, Brother Jie, not only this little brother, but anyone who knows you, who doesn't give a thumbs up?"

Zhang Jie glanced at Zhang Chulan sideways, "You kid don't need to put a high hat on me.

But I promised you, naturally I won't go back on it."

Regarding "putting on a high hat," there is also a widely circulated satirical little story:

Legend has it that in ancient times, an official in the capital was about to be sent to a local post.

Before leaving, he specifically went to bid farewell to the teacher who taught and promoted him.

The teacher earnestly taught him: "The local officialdom environment is very complicated.

After you go, you must keep yourself clean and act cautiously."

The official hurriedly and respectfully replied: "Teacher, please rest assured, I have already prepared one hundred high hats.

I will give one to everyone I meet, so there shouldn't be any conflicts."

Upon hearing this, the teacher was furious and scolded:

"As upright gentlemen, we should treat people with upright principles.

How can you engage in such crooked ways of flattery!"

The official immediately lowered his head and said with a wronged yet admiring face:

"Teacher's lesson is correct!

But looking at the world today, there are really not many upright people like you, Teacher,

who are upright and don't like others putting high hats on them!"

Hearing this, the teacher turned anger into joy and nodded, saying:

"What you said is not unreasonable."

After the official bid farewell to the teacher and came out, he said to others:

"The one hundred high hats I prepared now only have ninety-nine left."

Later, people extracted the term "putting on a high hat" from this story,

specifically used to describe those hypocritical flatteries performed to please others.

And the person being flattered is usually called "having a high hat put on them."

"Hehe, this isn't putting on any high hat; it's everyone appreciating your character, Brother Jie."

Zhang Chulan, having obtained the answer he wanted, didn't care about these things and chuckled.

"Although you have my help, you cannot be slack.

If you are eliminated in the first round of the competition or something, I won't be able to save you."

Seeing that Zhang Chulan had signs of getting carried away, Zhang Jie sternly reminded him.

"Understood, understood."

Zhang Chulan nodded like a pounding garlic.

Although he reached a deal with Zhang Jie to escort him,

if he were too incompetent, it would be difficult for him to ascend the championship throne.

After all, even the Old Heavenly Master couldn't let a piece of rotten mud that couldn't be supported on a wall become the successor of the Heavenly Master, right? ===== CHAPTER 571 =====

After all, even the Old Tian Shi couldn't let a piece of mud that couldn't be plastered onto a wall become the successor to the Tian Shi, right?
