Chapter 518 Wen Zhong (2/2)

Regardless if he was sincere or pretentious, the Qilin was proof that Wen Zhong definitely came from an impressive background.

Furthermore, Shen Lian once read a novel known as the 'Investiture of the Gods' that had a charismatic antagonist known as Wen Zhong who was the Grand Preceptor of Yinshang.

A thought came to Shen Lian's mind. Maybe this world was somewhat related to the legends and history he had read of in his previous world. But it was not exactly similar to what he had read and he could only use it as a reference.

For instance, Emperor Xia's name was Si Qi and not the tyrant Xia Jie Si Gui.

According to the legend and history, Shen Lian read, Si Qi was the son of Si Wenming, and not the descendant after uncountable generations.

However, Emperor Xia Si Qi was such a hot-tempered person that he was more similar to the tyrant Xia Jie who compared himself to the sun.

Shen Lian smiled, ”You have great eyesight and it seemed that your techniques are a class above. It was no wonder that you can tame a unique creature like this ink black Qilin.”

Wen Zhong was embarrassed, ”You compliment me too much. I did not tame this Qilin, it was a gift from my master as I did not have a mode of transportation after honing my art.”

”Based on your description, I am certain your master must have been a powerful person. If I have the chance, I would love to meet him,” Shen Lian said with a smile.

He wondered if Wen Zhong's master, who was generous enough to gift a Qilin, was the legendary Jinling Shengmu. Even if it was not her, the master would still be someone extremely powerful.

With all these interweaving legends and history, it was as if Shen Lian was not straddling between two different worlds but went on a time travel.

The best thing Shen Lian could ever hope for was it to be the reversal of time. It would be thousands of times better than reincarnation as Daoist master and Buddha took a leap out of time in order to attain Dao.

In order to leap out of the River of Time of the three realms of six Dao, it was necessary to go against the flow and also to go with the flow. That way, the past, current, and future would condense into one to form a special biomass that could leap from the River of Time.

Shen Lian had yet to arrive at that point of being and thus naturally would not know the details of it.

Wen Zhong sighed, ”I would love to meet my master again. But unfortunately, my master's mana is deep and all these while, she would be the one who comes and meet me. It would be extremely difficult if I want to go and see her.”

Shen Lian became serious all of a sudden and said, ”So that is why Daoist Wen would be the one who takes the initiative to go and meet your disciples. You indeed lived up to the standards of your master. No wonder, no wonder.”

Wen Zhong was stunned by Shen Lian who said 'no wonder' twice while having a serious face on. He reacted, ”Are you teasing me? Looks like you have known that my disciple is Zi Zhao, and you had already known of my identity.”

”I have admired you for long and that was why I decided to play around a little. I hope you don't mind,” Shen Lian smiled sincerely with humility.

Wen Zhong was a carefree person and there was no reason for him to get angry.

He laughed and said, ”Since we are fated to meet here, let me offer you an elixir to heal your injuries.”

He immediately took out the black elixir.
