"Your Excellency!"

  "Your Excellency!"

  Teng Qing Shan walked on the road, and the Black Armor Army soldiers he met were all respectful. Teng Qing Shan was admitted to the Black Armor Army through the entrance examination of the sect, and in less than a year, at the age of 17, he became the first commander of the Black Armor Army. In the Black Armor Army, countless soldiers admired and revered Teng Qing Shan.

  Hong Qing Shan nodded slightly and soon left the Black Armor Army's camp range. After crossing Long Gang, he entered the area where the core disciples were located.

  "Look, it's Tun Tianle."

  Three green-clad young female disciples walked towards Teng Qing Shan from the opposite direction. As Teng Qing Shan passed by, the three girls' eyes lit up at the same time and they exclaimed in unison: "Teng Qingshan!" They gazed longingly at Teng Qing Shan, hoping he would say something to them, but Teng Qing Shan merely nodded and brushed past them.

  They turned their heads and watched as Tan Qing's figure disappeared into the distance.

  "Hengtong leads, with a great master's demeanor." A ponytailed girl exclaimed.

  "Speaking of generations, Teng Tong is still our Master Uncle. We should call him Master Uncle Teng!"

  "Master Teng? It's not good to call Master Teng old, he's only 17 years old this year, just one year older than me. But Master Teng is really amazing, at the age of 17, he's already ranked first on the 'Hidden Dragon List', it's too amazing! Second sister, didn't you say you wanted to go shopping with Master Teng? Why were you dumbfounded and didn't dare speak just now?"

  "Speak softly, I was just joking with you guys." The big-eyed girl's face suddenly turned red.

  These girls have been practicing martial arts since they were young, so their figures are generally good. They are in the prime of youth and start to play on the path, making many male disciples jealous. In the Return to Origin Sect, many male disciples find female disciples to marry, but whether it is a male or female disciple, there is a distinction between high and low.

  As Ceng Qing Shan, he is ranked first on the Hidden Dragon List and is the First Commander of the Black Armor Army. In fact, many people in Guiyuan Sect have a crush on him.

  ……

  Along the stairs, Teng Qing Shan walked to the door of his master's study, Zhuge Yuan Hong.

  "Master!" Teng Qing Shan stood at the door and said respectfully.

  "Oh, Qing Shan, come in quickly." Zhuge Yuanhong put down the book in his hand and laughed as he called out. He then carefully examined Qing Shan. "Qing Shan, looking at your expression, your mood seems to be not bad. This time, what was the harvest like from entering the Savage Wilderness?" No matter how formidable a master is, it's impossible to tell if someone has reached the Xiantian realm just by their appearance.

  After all, the innate true yuan is hidden in the dantian, and no one's eyes can see through it.

  One can make a rough judgment of a person's character from their spirit and temperament.

  "The harvest is pretty good, in the wilderness, my disciple picked some red fruit." Teng Qing Shan said.

  Wow!

  "Qingshan, have you reached the Xiantian stage now?" Zhuge Yuanhong's eyes lit up.

  "Yes, Master." Teng Qing Shan said as his entire body began to emanate a fiery red glow. His hair also burst forth with fiery red light, and in an instant, he stood like a fire god, his intense primordial true yuan causing a wave of heat to spread throughout the study.

  "Good!" Zhuge Yuanhong saw this scene, couldn't help but be overjoyed, his face full of smiles, "Haha, Qing Shan, well done! A 17-year-old innate expert, haha... In the entire Nine States, you are the second in a thousand years! In the past five hundred years, you are the first!"

  Nine Provinces of China, with a large population.

  Jiangning Prefecture has a population of 20-30 million, and Yangzhou has nearly 300 million. The entire nine provinces have a population of 2-3 billion. Birth, old age, sickness, and death, most people do not live beyond the age of 100, let alone imagine how many people there are in a thousand years of history. Among these countless people, in a thousand years, including Teng Qingshan, there are only two such geniuses.

  And for five hundred years, Teng Qing Shan was the only one!

  "Master, who was the first one in a thousand years?" Teng Qing Shan asked with some curiosity.

  "That is the Buddhist monk 'Xiang Fan Chen' of the Mani Temple, this Xiang Fan Chen is absolutely a talented and extraordinary person. At the age of 16, he attained the Arhat fruit position. This Buddhist Arhat is what we call 'Pre-Heaven'." said Zhuge Yuanhong.

  "What's your name?" Teng Qing Shan remembered this name.

  This ordinary world, at the age of sixteen, attained the Buddhist Arhat fruit position, and his innate talent was absolutely beyond himself. Teng Qing Shan was very clear... he had practiced Xingyiquan for more than twenty years in his previous life, but Fang Vandian relied on himself.

  Zhuge Yuanhong smiled and said: "However, Xiang Fanshen and Qing Shan are different from you, his surname is very stubborn."

  "This secular monk was called 'Yao Seng' in history, first because his talent was so great that it was almost demonic, and second because of his surname. At the age of 56, Xiang Fan Chen betrayed the Mani Temple and traveled the world, stirring up a bloody storm. It can be said that at that time, only the eight super-strong sects in the nine provinces could barely compare with Xiang Fan Chen, but no one could kill him. When he was over 100 years old, Xiang Fan Chen had already become invincible under heaven! Later, this demonic monk may have felt lonely and hid from the world, rarely appearing on the nine continents."

  Hong Qingshan sighed quietly.

  From a psychological perspective, most geniuses are eccentric and unconventional.

  "This mortal, since he has no match under heaven, could it be that he still hasn't reached the realm of Yu Huang, Qin Ling Tian Di, Shi Jia Zu Shi, and Li Tai Bai?" Teng Qing Shan asked in doubt.

  "No." Zhuge Yuanhong shook his head.

  "If you are invincible in the world, how can others know that this mortal has not reached the height of Yu Huang?" Teng Qingshan retorted.

  Zhuge Yuanhong smiled and glanced at Teng Qingshan: "Xiang Fanshen's invincibility and Yu Huang's invincibility are different. Yu Huang's invincibility can unify the entire Jiuzhou with one person's power! You don't understand now, wait until you reach my level, then you will know... the difference between Xiang Fanshen and Yu Huang, Shijia Zushi and others."

  Hong Qingshan nodded slightly.

  "But this mortal coil is a person from over 600 years ago, who has long since died and turned to dust." Zhuge Yuanhong sighed.

  Even the most brilliant genius cannot resist the passage of time.

  ……

  The fragrance in the study had faded, so Zhuge Yuanhong cut another piece of incense and put it into the censer.

  "Green Mountain." Zhuge Yuanhong smiled and said, "You have a unique talent, and in the future, you may be able to conquer the world. However, Master must remind you not to be too ambitious. Talent is one aspect, but personal effort, opportunity, and other factors are also important. You have the 'Ghost Moon Gun Classic', which is just for reference, and you want to create your own gun technique. But that Item Fan Dust cultivates one of the four great divine classics, the 'Golden Body Buddha'. So, it's very difficult for you to catch up with Item Fan Dust."

  Zhuge Yuanhong also slightly struck Teng Qingshan, to prevent Teng Qingshan from becoming too arrogant.

  "Understood, Master." Teng Qing Shan nodded.

  The other party has one of the Four Great Divine Classics, the "Golden Body Buddha", while I only have a earthly secret book, the "Ghostly Moon Spear Classic", which is far inferior.

  "Hmm, since you've reached the Innate Realm, according to our sect's rules, you naturally become an 'Enforcer Elder'. Currently, our sect has two Enforcer Elders. You are the third." Zhuge Yuanhong smiled and said, "I'm preparing to choose a good day to announce this matter."

  Teng Qing Shan naturally followed Master's orders.

  "Haha, Qing Shan, Master has something private to tell you." Zhuge Yuanhong said suddenly.

  Teng Qing Shan looked at Zhuge Yuanhong with suspicion.

  "It's like this, Yun'er told me that she and your sister 'Qingyu' have a very good relationship, and the two of them also have intentions towards each other... So I discussed it with you, if you don't object, then let them be together for some more time, and by next year, let the two children get married, what do you think?" said Zhuge Yuanhong.

  "Xiao Yun and my sister?" Teng Qing Shan couldn't help but laugh.

  As for the matter between Zhuge Yun and his own sister, Teng Qing Shan had seen it coming. In fact, when his sister first arrived at the Yuán Zōng, she didn't have many acquaintances, so she often spent time with Zhuge Qing and Zhuge Yun, brother and sister. Two young men and women living together for half a year, developing feelings for each other wasn't strange at all.

  Teng Qing Shan was also very satisfied with Zhuge Yun's character and conduct. If his sister really married Zhuge Yun, he could also be at ease.

  "Master, I'm not opposed, but this matter needs my parents' consent," said Teng Qing Shan.

  "Oh, your parents... I just remembered, it's been so long since your parents came to our sect. When should we go pick them up? It would be best if they could stay here with you and your sister, that way you two can take care of them." said Zhuge Yuanhong.

  "Uh, I'm preparing for the annual festival this year and will have my parents come over to stay for a few days." Teng Qing Shan smiled helplessly, "My parents are attached to our clan's people in the village, so they don't want to stay here for long."

  "Oh."

  Zhuge Yuanhong picked up the teacup beside him, took a sip, and then smiled, "Qingshan, let's put your sister and Yun'er's matter aside for now. I think you're already eighteen this year, it's time to get married! You are currently listed on both the 'Dì Bǎng' and 'Qián Lóng Bǎng', and you're also the first on the 'Qián Lóng Bǎng'. Moreover, you're the first commander of our sect's Hei Jia Jun, and soon you'll be the Chief Law Enforcer! Many of our sect's elders, protectors, my fellow disciples, and others have mentioned your marriage to me. They all have some suitable young girls in their families or among their relatives and friends. When do you have time to take a look?"

  Hong Qingshan was shocked.

  Master also said matchmaker?

  "Master, this..." Teng Qing Shan could only shake his head.

  The Guiyuan Sect is actually equivalent to a dynasty, after all, it controls 20-30 million people. Within the Guiyuan Sect, there are also many forces that want to marry their daughters to Tan Qingyang and win him over, which is not surprising.

  "Disdain those girls?" Zhuge Yuanhong smiled and said, "Your vision is quite high! Alright, I'll introduce you to a good girl."

  Hong Qingshan was taken aback.

  "It's only natural that a man should get married when he comes of age, and a woman should be wedded when she grows up." Zhuge Yuanhong said with a smile. "My daughter Qingqing is also approaching sixteen, and the number of people coming to propose is almost wearing out our doorstep. However, I think you two are quite compatible, Qingqing excels in music, chess, calligraphy, painting, cooking, and needlework. She's two years younger than you, just the right age difference. If you don't object, as her father, I'll make the decision for her... Later, we can invite your parents over to discuss it, and then choose a auspicious day for the wedding." Zhuge Yuanhong said with a smile.

  Zhuge Yuanhong is dissatisfied with being a teacher and wants to be a father-in-law.
