"Sir, please wait a moment. I see that you have an extraordinary appearance and a surprising bone structure, making you a once-in-a-millennium genius! Why don't you join my sect and cultivate? Within a hundred years, you will surely become invincible in the world, and even transcend the void to ascend to the immortal realm!"
A young man in a Taoist robe stood at the foot of the mountain, blocking a middle-aged man.
"Get lost, you crazy guy!" The man glared, like an angry lion.
"How can you, a mere woodcutter, be so ungrateful? Don't come to Qinglong Mountain anymore." Chen Xi coldly snorted, speaking with great authority.
"Brat, if you keep nagging, I'll chop you to pieces!" The man took out his axe and said fiercely.
"Ha, you're a piece of rotten wood, not worth carving!" Chen Xi said coldly and then strode past the man.
"Do you think I'm a fool? Immortality? Ha, spit, nonsense!" The man spat and said disdainfully.
Chen Hao walked down from Qinglong Mountain and arrived at a small town at the foot of the mountain.
"Boss, bring me some food quickly!" Chen Xi shouted as he entered an inn.
"Why is it you again, you stinky brat? Didn't I beat you enough last time? You dare to come and eat for free again?" The innkeeper came out, staring at Chen Xi with a fierce look.
Chen Xi's face remained unchanged, and he didn't leave because of the innkeeper's words.
"You're not leaving, are you? Then you don't have to leave. Leave your head for me to use as a dish." The innkeeper, holding a cleaver, rushed towards Chen Xi.
Seeing the situation was not good, Chen Xi quickly ran away, shouting as he ran, "Fool, it's an honor for me to eat your food, don't be ungrateful!"
The innkeeper, hearing Chen Xi's words, turned black with anger and chased him for several streets with the cleaver.
But he was old and couldn't match the energy of a young man like Chen Xi. After running for a while, he collapsed from exhaustion.
"Ha, you think you can catch me? With your speed, you can't even catch up with fresh feces!" Chen Xi stopped, turned around, and mocked.
"Brat, if I catch you, I'll chop you into pieces! Ahhh!!!" The innkeeper, furious, glared at Chen Xi and shouted loudly.
Chen Xi ignored him, farted at him, and then ran off happily.
The only one left was the innkeeper, his face as black as coal.
After running for a while, Chen Xi felt a strong sense of hunger.
"Rumble, rumble, rumble..."
Chen Xi's stomach growled. He hadn't eaten for two days and was really hungry.
"It's all that damn Old Yun's fault. That old bastard actually left me and ran away!" Chen Xi said through gritted teeth.
However, a scene from a month ago flashed through his mind.
"Dog Egg, I'm almost gone. From now on, the Sun Heaven Sect will be in your hands. The Sun Heaven Sect has a long tradition, but it declined during my generation. You must make it great again and not let me down!" An old man with a lecherous look, pale-faced, said.
"Old Yun, don't talk. I'll take good care of the Sun Heaven Sect!" Chen Xi said with tears in his eyes.
He had been an orphan since childhood, and Old Yun had picked him up from a mountain ravine and raised him. Old Yun was his only family in the world.
"I've lived long enough, don't be sad. But before I die, I have one last wish." The Sect Master coughed violently and said weakly.
"Old Yun, what is it?"
"Ten... eighteen years, you've always... called me Old Yun. Now, I... I want to hear you call me... Master." The Sect Master's eyes were hazy, and he spoke with difficulty.
"Mas... Master." Chen Xi bit his lip, tears streaming down his face.
Hearing Chen Xi's words, the Sect Master nodded in satisfaction, as if his wish was fulfilled. Then he slumped and died.
"Master!!!" Chen Xi was in great pain, losing his only family.
After a while, Chen Xi carried Old Yun to the back of the mountain and buried him with his own hands.
In the evening, Chen Xi wiped away his tears and went to the back of the mountain to pay respects to the Sect Master.
But soon, he was stunned. He saw his master, who had somehow crawled out of the grave, packing his things.
"Old man, you're not dead?" Chen Xi shouted angrily.
Seeing he was discovered, Old Yun was not at all flustered. He calmly picked up his luggage, channeled his internal energy, and fled into the distance.
"Xia, in two months, the Black Demon Gang will attack. I'm leaving first, you're on your own! The Sun Heaven Sect is in your hands, I'm off!" A voice drifted from afar.
Chen Xi stood there, dumbfounded, completely devastated.
The old man had left him behind and run away?
Soon, his thoughts returned.
Chen Xi shook his head, clearing his mind.
The more he thought about it, the angrier he became. Not only did the old man leave him, but he also took all the valuable things from the Sun Heaven Sect, leaving him without money for food!
Thinking of that old bastard, Chen Xi's teeth ground in anger.
Many people might wonder, since the Sect Master had run away, why didn't Chen Xi leave quickly? Was he waiting to die?
He wanted to leave, but he had no money, so he couldn't go anywhere!
As for why he was trying to recruit disciples at the foot of the mountain? Cough, cough... He was just trying to scam some money to run away.
As for recruiting disciples, that was just an excuse.
Chen Xi had been waiting at the foot of the mountain for over half a month, but no one had fallen for it. He was extremely frustrated.
"Why am I so unlucky? Others who transmigrate get supreme divine powers, grandfathers, or divine artifacts. Why do I get nothing? Even a random system would be better!" Chen Xi wailed in despair at the foot of the mountain.
For eighteen years, he was still a poor nobody.
At that moment, a beautiful figure approached from a distance.
It was a very beautiful woman, with skin as white as snow, bright eyes, and a face like a fairy.
This woman was so beautiful that even the phrase "dazzling beauty" couldn't describe her.
However, she exuded a cold aura, and her face seemed to say "keep away."
Chen Xi had never seen such a beautiful woman, even more beautiful than the celebrities he had seen in his previous life.
"Miss, please wait a moment." Chen Xi walked up to her.
The beautiful woman glanced at Chen Xi coldly, her face and tone icy. "What is it?"
"To be honest, I am the master of Qinglong Mountain. I see that you have extraordinary talent and ancient bloodline. If you join my sect, you will surely transcend and become invincible in the world!"
"What's your sect called?"
"Sun Heaven Sect!"
"Get lost!"
