Zhong Kui's Diary
I chuckled lightly, flipped my palm, and a bolt of lightning struck the ground, instantly creating a hole the size of a Sea Bowl. It was dark and deep, I couldn't tell how far it went.
"Wow! The power is actually this great!" Song Xi exclaimed, her eyes wide open. She knew that a lightning bolt as thick as a chopstick could not possibly create such a large and deep hole in the ground.
"Now you understand the Divine Skill, right? Hehe, goodbye, take care!" I said with a smile.
"No way, I'm not going back. I want to learn Spell from you!" Song Xi said decisively, her eyes glinting.
"Learn what? I only know basic Spell!" Frustrated, I couldn't help but curse: "I only know a few beginner Spells, and I don't even know basic Mana Control. There's nothing I can teach you."
Song Xi looked at me disdainfully: "Who are you trying to fool? Didn't you just control that lightning?"
"Control lightning? When did that happen?" I asked in astonishment.
"The lightning was swirling in your palm until you flipped your hand for it to strike down. Isn't that controlling it?" Song Xi sneered: "Please, if you're going to refuse, at least come up with a credible reason."
Wait a minute, that's not right. In the past when I used Nine Divine Thunder, the lightning would shoot out like an arrow as soon as I released it. But just now, that bolt of lightning had been restrained in my palm... Damn, when did I learn this skill? And how did I control this kind of magic without knowing?
Seeing my bewilderment, Song Xi began to doubt me as well and asked hesitantly: "You really don't understand how to control magic?"
I nodded and smiled wryly: "To be honest, I only know a few tricks here and there. Although my magic has reached Grandmaster Level or even surpassed it, my Spells are just mediocre!"
"Don't Qingcheng and Kong Xuan teach you?" Song Xi frowned and then relaxed as she realized: "I understand now. Because your magic is already above Grandmaster Level, even if they want to teach you, they would be powerless to do so."
I thought for a moment: "That should be the case."
Song Xi's eyes sparkled with mischief as she smiled brightly: "Ghost Brother, how about this? You teach me Spell, and in return, I'll teach you how to control magic."
I shook my head dismissively: "The Spells you know, don't tell me Kong Xuan doesn't know them? Qingcheng doesn't know them?"
Song Xi couldn't help but puff out her chest. "I'm not bragging; do they even know about Grandmaster Level Mana Control? Hmph! The four major Taoist sects—Southern Kong, Northern Xiao, Eastern Song, and Western Gao—over the past thousand years, the Kong Family has produced three Grandmaster-level Experts, the Xiao Family has produced four, and the Gao Family is slightly better with six Grandmaster-level Experts. But do you know how many Grandmaster-level Experts our Song Family has produced?"
"Ten?" I asked with a frown.
"Guess again!" Song Xi said with a proud and smug expression.
"A hundred?" I was even more astonished.
"Wrong!" Song Xi shook her head.
"A thousand?" I said with extreme skepticism.
A thousand? What does that even mean? The Song Family is only in its thirty-fifth generation, which means there would have to be about thirty Grandmaster-level Experts in each generation to reach a thousand. Damn, is that even possible? Do you think Grandmaster Level experts can just be copied and pasted?
"Still wrong!" Song Xi shook her head again.
"Then how many?" I no longer dared to guess; if I kept guessing, it might go up to ten thousand or a hundred thousand...
"Sixteen!" Song Xi said with a smile.
"Damn!" I expressed my excitement with just one word. Damn it, you could have given me a hint.
"You didn't guess it yourself! Why are you cursing?" Song Xi pouted in protest.
"I didn't curse at you! My 'damn' was a noun, not a verb!" I explained helplessly. Yet, I thought to myself that having sixteen Grandmaster Level experts in the Song Family is quite impressive; the combined total of the Kong Family, Xiao Family, and Gao Family is only thirteen.
"It's precisely because our Song Family produces Grandmaster-level Experts that we have a wealth of Grandmaster Level texts. Don't underestimate me just because I'm only at the Master-Level beginner stage now; my understanding of Grandmaster Level has reached an encyclopedic level!" Song Xi declared proudly.
"Really?" I suddenly remembered something and felt overjoyed.
"Of course it's true!"
"That's great, you teach me how to merge this first!" I quickly took out the Mysterious Realm Golden Sphere.
"Mysterious Realm Golden Sphere? How do you have this?" Song Xi's eyes widened in surprise.
"Don't worry about how I got it. Just tell me if you can merge this thing!" I replied with a grin.
Song Xi examined the golden sphere for a while before sheepishly saying, "Although I'm knowledgeable about many things, this question happens to be the ten thousand and first!"
I scoffed at her!
Feeling frustrated, I put the golden sphere away and looked at Song Xi sideways. "Then what can you teach me?"
"Can't you control your mana? I can teach you how to control it. This way, you can use Thunder Element or Fire Elemental Magic to transform into various forms, like Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Black Tortoise, Vermilion Bird, Wild Boar Mountain Chicken, Pleasant Goat, Big Bad Wolf—whatever you can think of in your mind, you can manifest it into any form," Song Xi said, raising her eyebrows with a smile full of allure.
"Deal!" I decided on the spot; this was exactly what I wanted to learn. Once I mastered this, Ji Wuyuan and the others would no longer be my opponents. As for what I would teach her... well, I could share the secrets of the Yi Jin Jing and Washing Marrow Classic with her.
However, there were more important matters to attend to right now. I could only take Song Xi to Emei Mountain first. I briefly explained what I needed to do to Song Xi. Although she was surprised after hearing it, she didn't ask why I wanted to do it.
We pushed open the teleportation portal and arrived at Emei Golden Summit.
We emerged next to the Samantabhadra Bodhisattva statue on Emei Golden Summit. In the distance, we could faintly see the glow of streetlights, giving us a rough idea of our surroundings. According to Shen Sipan, at night, the temperature on the golden summit drops to just a few degrees. The management committee clears out the area at night to prevent any incidents and sends all tourists down... so there was no need to worry about being seen.
However, a famous person once passed through—there's always a chance of something happening.
Just as we stepped out, we heard a scream nearby. Looking over, we saw a girl standing next to the base of the statue, holding her pants and screaming 'ah ah ah' at us. The ground beneath her feet was wet, and her pants were also soaked for more than half; clearly, she had just been hiding there to relieve herself.
Song Xi was the first to react; she rushed over and slapped the girl on the forehead. The girl fell down immediately. Song Xi quickly caught her and gently laid her down on the ground.
"Don't you have anyone with you?" I glared at Shen Sipan.
"Maybe she's a student; she probably couldn't afford a hotel and wanted to see the sunrise, so she hid on the mountain hoping to stay up all night until dawn!" Shen Sipan chuckled sheepishly.
"Student Council has no money?" Song Xi scoffed, "There are plenty of wealthy students now!"
"Not all of them!" Shen Sipan retorted.
"Alright, stop arguing and look around!" I said with a wry smile, "She can't be alone; there must be other companions."
Sure enough, we found her companions in a corner—two boys and a girl, all wearing headphones and looking at their phones. No wonder the girl’s exclamation went unheard.
Song Xi quickly knocked them out. I felt a bit worried, "You’re not going to kill these students, are you?"
"Am I that cruel?" Song Xi rolled her eyes at me, "I just cast the Dream of Yellow Millet Spell on them. When they wake up, they'll only think they had a dream, and it will be quite vague."
"Then won't they freeze to death like this?" I pointed at the four sleeping students, "Brother Shen, it's only a few degrees here at night!"
Song Xi arranged the four students in a circle and placed something resembling a glass sphere in the middle—a beautiful red object. She then said, "This Blazing Glass Sphere can provide enough warmth and will disappear automatically after six hours. Moreover, before it disappears, it will make a loud noise to wake them up."
This glass sphere must be some kind of magical artifact. Standing nearby, I could feel warmth spreading through my body. With this, the four students definitely wouldn't freeze to death. I glanced at my watch; it was already eleven-thirty at night. After six hours, it would be five-thirty in the morning—just in time to wake them for sunrise.
Song Xi was quite meticulous in her work. I smiled and gave her a thumbs up: "First thumbs up for you! Now, let's get down to business!"
I took out my phone and opened WeChat. I saw a message from Jin Manyuan: 'The Wenqu Platform is located at the place where the Buddha's light shines on Emei Golden Summit.'
After pondering for a moment, I asked Shen Sipan and Song Xi: "Do either of you know where the Buddha's light is?"
Song Xi paused for a moment and shook her head, but Shen Sipan frowned and said, "Boss Zhong, you don't mean that location is inside the Buddha's light, do you?"
I handed my phone to both of them to take a look. After reading it, Shen Sipan snorted: "How is that possible? The Buddha's light is in the clouds; surely we can't fly up there!"
Thinking about it made sense. I immediately called Jin Manyuan. As soon as he picked up, I began to rant: "Old Man Jin, what's going on with this Wenqu Platform at Emei Golden Summit? Can't you be clearer? What do you mean by where the Buddha's light shines? Do you expect me to fly up into the clouds to activate the formation? Don't you want me to activate it or what?"
This complaint came out like a machine gun—one breath without pause—but there was no response from Jin Manyuan on the other end.
"Hey!" I was taken aback for a moment, then I shouted into the microphone.
On the other end, an impatient voice replied, "Who are you? Calling in the middle of the night, are you crazy?"
It was a woman's voice.
Did I dial the wrong number? I looked at my phone; it displayed the name—Old Turtle. No mistake, this is Jin Manyuan's number.
Then, a lazy voice came from the other end, "What's up? Zheng Nan?"
"What’s going on?" I asked in surprise.
"At your age, haven't you ever heard of a night call?" Jin Manyuan chuckled.
Note: I don't know what this celebrity is called; anyway, I don't remember names of people who are not famous.
