Chapter 455: System Evolution

When Chen Yu returned with the medicine, everyone was still there, quietly waiting for him, and not a single person dared to leave.

Liu Zhongxiang felt somewhat dazed; he had been selling paintings here for many years and no one had ever treated him like this before.

Even the locals either came to haggle over one or two paintings or to hurl insults at him.

In their eyes, it seemed he was nothing more than a pedantic scholar.

Chen Yu’s behavior was completely beyond his comprehension, as if Heaven had opened its eyes and specifically sent someone to his rescue.

After drinking the medicine, Liu Zhongxiang clearly felt much lighter in his body.

“Young brother, I really can’t thank you enough. May I have your honorable name and where you reside? I must repay your kindness in the future.”

Just as Chen Yu was about to demur, the young Taoist who had received him rushed over in a hurry.

“Mr. Chen, how did you end up here? The Heavenly Master and the others are all anxiously waiting for you.”

The young Taoist shouted this and, without further ado, grabbed Chen Yu’s arm and hurried away.

The people present were immediately stunned.

They had seen many who had been invited to Tianhu Mountain, but generally, these people were older than Chen Yu.

They either gained worldly success or were extraordinary in some way, but Chen Yu didn’t seem to fit any of these categories.

If it came down to it, it seemed all he could do was treat illnesses.

By the time they came to their senses, Chen Yu had already been led away by the young Taoist.

Atop Tianhu Mountain, on a vast square, a large number of Taoist-looking people were sitting on the ground, neatly arrayed at this spot.

The Heavenly Master Long Tian, whom they had seen earlier, was sitting on a dais in the center, expounding on the Tao.

Chen Yu did not disturb him; after arriving at the square, he found a place to sit down by himself.

At that moment, a burly Taoist suddenly stood up and knelt in front of Heavenly Master Long Tian.

“Master, I really don’t understand why you randomly picked up a wild boy from the outside to be your Closed-door Disciple! And even handled his worldly affairs, this violates the rules of the Xuanqing Sect.”

The gazes of everyone present focused on the center of the square.

In their eyes, one could see clear dissatisfaction; it seemed they all had prejudices against Chen Yu.

Chen Yu too was a bit confused; it seemed from beginning to end that it wasn’t by his own will that he joined the Xuanqing Sect, and he’d been invited here moreover.

Looking at these people, it seemed as if he was relentlessly begging to be admitted into the Xuanqing Sect.

Chen Yu slightly adjusted his breath, slowly stood up, just about to speak, when suddenly an individual next to him stood up.

“Brother Chen! Since you were personally invited by the Master to come up the mountain, you must certainly be extraordinary. I would like to test your skills.”

Chen Yu frowned, as the Taoist who was speaking seemed very polite, but the hint of rejection in his eyes made Chen Yu feel rather helpless.

Without waiting for his reply, the guy already had a short knife in his hand and charged at him.

The two immediately tangled with each other.

Chen Yu’s body had reached the limits of human capability, and to some extent, he possessed extremely strong muscle memory.

In less than ten moves, he had the other man on the ground.

The people there were momentarily bewildered; they had never dreamed that Chen Yu could be so formidable.

Heavenly Master Long Tian had been silent from beginning to end, which seemed like a tacit permission for this group’s rudeness.

Chen Yu understood; this might have been some sort of test by Heavenly Master Long Tian.

The dozen or so Taoists who were seated there until just a moment ago suddenly rose, each holding various kinds of weapons as they charged over.
