You have mastered the art of thunder and you tell me that it is in a strange world?

Chapter 56 Qian Mansion
The door was opened. It was Qian Chen, the chubby master of the Qian family, who opened the door himself.

"Master! Master! Oh, I really didn't expect you to do something so sudden! You should have told me earlier so that I could prepare a banquet to entertain you!"

"Then go and prepare it quickly." The scholar said with a smile, "I've been riding in a sedan chair all the way, and I'm feeling sore all over. The four strong men under me haven't eaten for a long time either. Just prepare a few more bowls of top-quality rice for them."

He looked at the trembling servant kneeling on the ground and said with a smile:
"Your mouth isn't very clean."

Qian Chen stared at the servant, who was trembling all over and almost fainting from fright.

"Shave his hair, stew him, and send him outside as relief food." Qian Chen waved his hand and said, "Be careful, cut off his mouth first, so that people outside don't eat his mouth and talk dirty."

"Master! Master, spare me! Master!"

The servant knelt on the ground and began to kowtow, but the other subordinates didn't care about him. They just came up and pinned the servant to the ground, knocked him unconscious with a stick, and dragged him towards the kitchen.

Only when he was no longer visible did the scholar smile and nod:

"You are quite sensible."

"Look at what you said. Our Qian family is what it is today thanks to King Kang. You are King Kang's master. If someone disrespects you, it means they are disrespecting King Kang's mansion. Of course, we cannot keep such a person. Letting him eat the food of the rotten people can be regarded as a kind-hearted act of our Qian family."

After saying this, he invited the scholar inside.

The two walked through the courtyard filled with artificial mountains and water, and when they arrived at the mansion, Qian Chen immediately called the maid:
"Go get some wine and some meat! Set up a banquet and play some music!"

Seeing the servants leave in a hurry, Qian Chen looked around.

Seeing that there was no one around, he lowered his voice:
"Sir, what is the matter with you this time?"

"One of my concubines was killed outside. I just came out. After some investigation, I found out that a capable master has come to Xuzhou. I am afraid he will cause trouble. I can't predict him, and I can't tell him through divination. It seems that the man should not exist in the world, but only come from heaven. It's very strange. So I came to you and planned to open an altar to perform a divination. I need you to help me prepare the materials and set up the altar."

The scholar said to Qian Chen, who immediately nodded in response:
"I have already prepared the materials for you, but it may take a day to build the altar. You can rest here first."

"Yes." The scholar looked at Qian Chen and asked, "Has there been any unusual incidents in Changshan Town recently?"

"There hasn't been much change. It's just that some untouchables who can't afford to eat got together and seemed to have formed some kind of religious or gang. I didn't ask about it in detail."

"Hmm?" The scholar seemed to be interested. He stretched out his hand and counted twice, and suddenly smiled:
"Interesting. Ordinary people raise evil spirits. It is indeed easy for treasures to appear in wastelands."

Qian Chen didn't understand what the scholar said and could only nod and smile apologetically.

"Don't worry about what's going on in the town. Just let it develop on its own. I'll take care of it after I establish the altar." The scholar withdrew his hand and asked, "Is the girl still here with you?"

Qian Chen nodded: "Do you want to see her?"

"Alright, ask her to come and join me at the bar."

"okay!"

Qian Chenke took small steps and walked towards his back room.

Soon they arrived at a secluded place where lived his concubine, who was also the scholar's woman.

The master had a strange habit. He had no interest in virgin girls and only liked other people's wives. Even if he found someone he liked outside, he would first look for a family he trusted and let the girl marry there. Then he would go in and enjoy the beautiful woman who had become someone else's wife.

Qian Chen didn't understand, but he was the master after all.

Whatever the master says is what it is.

A young and beautiful girl came out of the room. When she saw Qian Chen coming, she thought that he was going to favor her. She was just acting coquettishly when she heard Qian Chen say:
"The master is here, go to the front hall."

The woman was horrified and hurried into the house to put on some more rouge. Then she walked barefoot towards the hall with Qian Chen.

As soon as I arrived in the hall, I saw the scholar holding a candle with a slightly frown on his face.

The candle was red all over, with a thick layer of wax accumulated on the sides. The place where it should have been lit was burned black and no longer burned.

"He was killed. The ghostwriter couldn't even withstand two blows. This new nobleman from Xuzhou is really powerful."

The scholar sighed. Qian Chen recognized what the candle was used for at a glance.

The New Year's Eve candle is usually connected with a person's life. If it is lit, it proves that the person is still alive. If it is extinguished, the person is dead.

Most of King Kang's followers had this thing, but Qian Chen didn't have it, and neither did the master.

Qian Chen didn't have one because his status was not high enough, and it would be a shame to prepare a candle for him. The master didn't have one because his position was too high. To make such a candle, you need the birth date and time, and a master of the master's level naturally wouldn't reveal his birth date and time.

What's more, it would be possible to kill the Master only if Prince Shou reached Xuzhou and captured Prince Kang's Palace.

"Master, who was killed?"

"This matter has nothing to do with you. Just prepare the altar."

The scholar casually threw the candle into Qian Chen's hand:

"Throw it away, it's already useless garbage."

Qian Chen took it and nodded repeatedly.

When he walked out with the candle in his hand, the scholar had already pulled the concubine into his arms and was whispering to her, as if asking her something.

Qian Chen didn't dare to say much, he just put the candle away and ordered the servants to serve the master well.

……

"Monk, see you later."

"Hey, I'll just wait for the Taoist priest here. I won't go anywhere."

At the entrance of the village, the monk and the villagers who had turned into ghosts waved goodbye to Zuo Chen. The donkey cart moved slowly and continued its journey to Changshan Town.

"I heard from the ghostwriter before that there seems to be some innate and acquired realms. Caiyi, do you understand these things?"

Zuo Chen asked Caiyi.

Caiyi was studying soybeans. When she heard Zuo Chen's question, she was stunned and her expression became a little strange.

Master, don’t you know this?

This is the most basic knowledge in the martial arts world. She thought the Taoist priest already knew it, so she did not discuss this matter.

Calming down her thoughts, Caiyi began to explain:

"These are just some random names in the martial arts world. Once you enter the realm of cultivation in the martial arts world, you will have a level of cultivation. A group of people fought each other, and finally they felt that they should rank their skills, so they made a list and divided people into different levels.

“The lowest class is called ordinary people, they are all dealers, it is hard to find people with great abilities.

“After practicing for a period of time and laying a solid foundation, you can be called an entry-level martial artist. It means you have passed the threshold and have a solid foundation. Even if you can only use a few fancy moves, you can still beat ordinary people.

“After entering the realm of the entry level and continuing to practice, you can enter the realm of the acquired nature. At this level, you will be a well-known figure in the martial arts world. The military in Kyoto generally has this level of strength.

"The next level is the Xiantian level that the ghostwriter mentioned. There are only a handful of people who can reach the Xiantian level in the entire Daliang territory. They are all masters who rule a certain area. Their strength level is not to be underestimated."

At this point, Caiyi glanced at Zuo Chen:
"The ghostwriters before said that you are the innate great perfection, but that's because they haven't seen your true ability. I think you must have reached the legendary land immortal, full of magical powers and abilities."

Zuo Chen heard this, thought for a moment, and asked again:

"Then is there anyone in this world who is stronger than the immortals on earth?"

“Really.” Caiyi said, “Before the empire was in chaos, there was a master in Kyoto who was so powerful that even the immortals on earth could not defeat him!

“Everyone called him:
"True fairy!"
