Stop it, Taoist, Your Fight almost Ruins the DAO!-Chapter 631 - 392: The Scavenging Inside Bear Cave, My Spirit Beast is Frank, Yi Taoist’s Prestige Shakes Dragon Tiger Mountain.
```
"Ha ha, I won't hide it from Daoist Lin Luo, students with talents like Zhang Hu are not abundant in Dragon Tiger Mountain, but they're not exceptionally rare either."
"Let's all come forward and pay our respects to Elder Lin Luo and Elder Yi Chengzi."
Taizhenzi, with a smile on his face, waved his hand backward, and immediately his disciples filed out in succession.
With a complicated expression, Zhang Daoyi stepped out of line. Though he had never truly faced Yi Chen, Yi Chengzi's fame had been a constant echo in his ears over the years.
Nearly everyone was comparing him with that top-tier genius Yi Chengzi, who hailed from a destitute Taoist temple. To say that he was unconcerned would be nothing but self-deception.
Before today, Zhang Daoyi still harbored thoughts of 'the path of cultivation is long, and there will be time to discuss lengths another day'. However, upon seeing Yi Chengzi today, he somehow felt relieved.
With such might, he knew that he, Zhang Daoyi, might never be able to match this man in this lifetime.
After vanquishing these winning thoughts, he felt the blockage in his heart slowly dissolving. In that moment, even his mana felt more agile, his aura undergoing a subtle change, becoming more ethereal.
"Dragon Tiger Mountain's Zhang Daoyi pays respect to Elder Lin Luo and Elder Yi Chengzi."
A flash of surprise went through Lin Luo's eyes, and she nodded slightly, "Indeed a talented and graceful individual; Dragon Tiger Mountain truly has profound foundations."
Faced with the former Daoist child who now addressed her as an elder, Elder Yi Chengzi naturally... smiled in approval.
With Zhang Daoyi's lead, many disciples came forward to greet them, notably the second disciple who had an aggressive aura and cultivation above Zhang Daoyi's, calling himself Zhang Menqing, which even caused Yi Chen to take brief notice.
And at the end of the line of disciples was none other than Zhang Longyi, one of Dragon Tiger Mountain's former twin prodigies.
Looking at the mighty and burly Daoist, Zhang Longyi's heart was in agony as if invaded by a swarm of venomous insects.
Because of him, he had to switch to cultivating the Yin Five Thunders.
Because of him, his state of mind was clouded, his cultivation progress slow, and now he had been surpassed by Zhang Hu, who used to be his equal.
Despite trying his hardest, he barely managed to keep his status as a core disciple, to be able to appear in today's lineup.
"It's all your fault, all your fault, Yi Chengzi."
"Why don't you die, why do you keep living better and better!"
"Why, why is this so unfair."
"Why, why do I, Zhang Longyi, have to bow to you, my enemy who brought me to this state, and address you as an elder."
Darkness grew and accumulated in his heart.
Pain, resentment, unwillingness, fear—various emotions surged into Zhang Longyi's heart.
"Those who achieve greatness in ancient and modern times must endure what others cannot. And I have endured."
Zhang Longyi cast his gaze downward, hands clenched tightly within his sleeves, desperately concealing his emotions. He took a deep breath, ready to step forward to greet them, when a familiar voice interrupted him.
In an instant, Zhang Longyi's head buzzed as if struck by a muffled bludgeon.
His left foot, just stepping out, froze in place.
"There will be plenty of opportunities to pay respects later, but it is getting late today. Taizhenzi, my friend, this is hardly the way to treat your guests."
"I am getting somewhat hungry," Yi Chen suddenly said with a smile toward Taizhenzi and the others.
At this moment, Zhang Longyi's left foot, whether to proceed or to retreat, was awkwardly stuck, causing him great embarrassment.
"Ah, damn it! Yi Chengzi, you beast."
"You did it on purpose, you definitely did it on purpose!"

"I had already decided to bow to you as a disciple, and you still humiliate me!"
The biggest humiliation is to be ignored.
Zhang Longyi's body shivered slightly, drawing sidelong glances from the disciples near him. Zhang Hu saw the scene and his eyes showed a contemplative expression.
"So it is; it seems I was inconsiderate," the Daoist with silver hair paused, then a smile spread across his face. Taizhenzi promptly gestured with an open hand, "Daoist Lin Luo, Yi Taoist, please!"
Under the guidance of Taizhenzi and the others, Yi Chen and his company ascended a large cloud chariot.
The group took to the air, and the scenery beneath Dragon Tiger Mountain rapidly shrank.
"Does Yi Taoist have a grudge with that disciple from Dragon Tiger Mountain? Did you know each other before?" A curious telepathic message suddenly echoed in Yi Chen's mind.
The Daoist looked down to meet the probing gaze of the purple-haired girl.
"You're overthinking it, Daoist Lin Luo."
"There's nothing of the sort."
"I'm not familiar with him; we just had a brief encounter before," Yi Chen replied softly.
Lin Luo nodded to herself, mentally.
Understood, it seems Yi Taoist not only knows him but has also formed quite a substantial enmity.
For a moment, she couldn't help but cast a pitying glance at Zhang Longyi.
From what she knew, Yi Taoist was not a very forgiving person; it seemed someone was going to be in trouble.
The cloud chariot was swift, and soon, an ancient and majestic hall appeared before the group.
Inside the hall, a lavish banquet was already prepared, with Spirit Fruits and fine wine at the ready.
And Zhang Longyi and the others didn't even have the privilege to enter.
...
...
The night was cool and breezy.
Unlike the busy Lin Luo, Yi Chen patted his belly after dinner and returned to the lodging that Dragon Tiger Mountain had arranged for him to rest.
[Origin Point: 10]
Looking at the remaining number of Origin Points on the virtual screen, Yi Chen nodded in satisfaction. Unfortunately, with his body's increasing strength, it was becoming harder to gain Origin Points by stimulating his body. For a moment, Yi Chen even considered refining the Thunder Punishment Jade as well.
