"Of course I do!"
Wu Qing's eyes glowed brightly. "I can vaguely sense that this is the calamity of my cultivation!"
Then, she sneered coldly, "So what if it's an obstacle? I'll just have to slay it with my sword! "
The moment she said those words, a rumble of thunder sounded from the horizon.
Outside, the wind and snow gathered, but inside the room, the Taoist Nun's hair was cloudy and windy. She was graceful and had a faint transcendent state, causing Wu Ming to be absent-minded for a moment.
"May I know what this Dragon Gate Assembly is about?"
Knowing that he was being rude, Zhang Xuan immediately changed the topic.
"Dragon Gate Assembly …"
Wu Qing's face blushed for a moment before she asked, "Do you know that there's a Raging Dragon River in Phoenix County that stretches for three hundred miles? It gathers the water vein of Phoenix County and flows into the ocean in the east?"
"I've heard of it before …"
Wu Ming was surprised. As a profligate son, he knew nothing about geography, but he knew the name of the Raging Dragon River.
"The Raging Dragon River is a tributary of the Great Dragon Vein of the Scarlet County Divine Prefecture. After passing through the Dragon Gate Gorge, the flow of the river slows down, allowing the people to benefit from it … But a hundred years ago, the Raging Dragon River was still gushing furiously, threatening the lives of the people. It was all thanks to the governor of the county, Wang Zhong, who dug out the rocks from the mountain and built a dam along the gorge. He even killed a water demon and erected a monument to guard it, allowing the three hundred miles downstream to be subservient to the people. Due to this, the people of the time built a shrine for Wang Zhong. After his death, his spirit still lingered, and he became the City God of Phoenix County … "
"So, the Dragon Gate Assembly is related to this matter?" Wu Ming asked.
"That's right! Under the monument erected by Governor Wang Zhong, there's a white python that already has the appearance of a serpent! " Wu Qing finally revealed a shocking secret. "This python is the descendant of the Water Demon from back then. Since ancient times, a python can evolve into a Jiao every five hundred years. I heard that this snake has already grown a single horn, giving it the appearance of a Jiao. On top of that, it is fated to be connected to the waters of the Raging Dragon River, so it cannot be killed. However, if a Jiao Dragon were to appear, it would cause a hundred li of water to flood, plunging all living beings into misery and suffering.
"Back then, with the imperial court's luck and the help of many extraordinary people, Wang Zhong set up the Merit Monument and sealed the White Python. Every Daoist Meridian would organize a ritual every once in a while to replenish the Dharmic energy for the seal. Over time, it became a routine. This is the origin of the Dragon Gate Meeting!"
"This time, my cultivation has advanced, and I've been given a high merit. I'm going to suppress the White Python, or perhaps I should say the White Flood Dragon. Not only is it a form of training, but it is also a form of merit!"
"I see!"
Wu Ming nodded, but he was shocked in his heart, Putting it bluntly, the Dragon Gate Gathering is a large-scale suppression ritual, but there's actually a serpent dragon. This world …
"Is the Water Demon from back then an evil dragon? But it's a taboo for mortals to slay dragons, so they named it as a Water Demon? "
At this moment, he was still feeling uneasy, so he asked, "This … Is there really no danger? Will the white snake break out of the seal? "
"Of course not!"
Wu Qing seemed to be very confident, "This is just an opportunity for the younger generation to train, so how dangerous can it be? The ones who will be maintaining and strengthening the seal are the City God and the elders of the Daoist Faction. If we go, we will be rewarded handsomely by the prefecture, and we will even receive merit from the heavens and earth. This is a lucrative job, and your sister has defeated many opponents to get this job! This is a calamity for me, and if I avoid it, I will be implicated even more in the future! "
"Looks like I can only deal with it when it comes. At the very least, I'll go to the prefecture once. I can't let Wu Qing die …"
Although he had already made up his mind, Wu Ming did not show it on his face. He smiled, "Sister, you're really busy, and you've come back at the right time. Tomorrow night is New Year's Eve, let's have a drink or two!"
"New Year's Eve?"
Wu Qing seemed to be reminiscing, "As a monk, I wonder how much longer I can enjoy the bustle of the world …"
Wu Ming's heart turned cold. He knew that Wu Qing's Daoist arts were profound, and he also had an ominous feeling about it. At this moment, he said, "The mention of this reminds me of the pork dumplings I made on New Year's Eve when I was young. They were extremely delicious, and I often snatched them from Big Sister …"
"To think that you still remember this …"
Wu Qing rolled her eyes at Wu Ming, but a charming smile blossomed on her face like a hundred flowers blooming.
…
Night fell.
In a silent chamber, Wu Ming sat cross-legged with a determined look on his face.
"Sister Qing's reminder today was right! Previously, I had the help of pills, but I was worried that my foundation would be unstable and my consciousness would be fragile. Thus, I had to be careful with every step I took, and I ended up losing my Daoist heart! "
The words of the true lineage had dispelled the fog in his mind. In an instant, Wu Ming felt as though he had been enlightened. With a spurt of energy, he first dripped three drops of Five Stones Restoring Clarity Powder into his abdomen before closing his eyes.
In an instant, a surge of heat that was even more ferocious and domineering than usual was formed. Wrapped around by it, it rushed straight into his Niwan.
Within his consciousness, chaos raged, bringing with it a horrifying feeling of shattering.
Had it been any other time, Wu Ming would not have dared to act recklessly in such a situation. He would have immediately stopped and dispersed the medicinal energy.
But at this moment, he gritted his teeth and ignored the excruciating pain in his consciousness. Turning the heat into ice, he poured it down.
"Open … for me!"
Boom!
In an instant, as though some kind of boundary had been broken, the chaos retreated, and a layer of light appeared.
Even though it was only a small area in the middle, Wu Ming felt a peculiar sensation in that instant. It was as though his spirit had undergone some kind of metamorphosis. "This is the opening of my consciousness!"
At this moment, he had truly stepped into the realm of a Daoist, and he could be called a Daoist!
Spiritual consciousness and transcendence energy were self-generated, allowing one to cultivate Daoist arts without expending one's blood essence.
It could be said that with this step, he had entered the path of Daoism!
"Phew … it's not easy to change professions, but now I've become a Daoist!"
Wu Ming laughed at himself, and took out the "Huangting Yin Talisman Scripture" to read.
"After Daoist, it's the cultivation of a Daoist … Cultivating the Five Qi in one's body, combining it with the five organs, absorbing the Purple Qi of the Morning Sun and the Golden Jade Liquid every day, tempering the body, and perfecting the Foundation Establishment … In this aspect, I have martial arts experience, and my original body foundation is extremely advantageous. Although my progress is not rapid, it will definitely be shocking!"
"Since the consciousness has been formed, I can choose to cultivate a few minor spells, and my adaptability to various mission environments will definitely be greatly increased … Moreover, when using magical weapons and Daoist talismans, their power will increase by 30%, and they will be activated faster!"
The magical weapons of the Talisman were originally prepared for Daoists, and this was a matter of course.
Wu Ming pondered for a moment, and took out the iron box. Inside was a "Lunar Corpse Refining Technique" and a handwritten scroll.
"The" Lunar Corpse Refining Technique "has too many restrictions, and stealing corpses is against the harmony of the heavens. If I'm discovered, I'll be beaten into a demon … Moreover, I can't bring two zombies with me every time I go on a mission, can I?"
Wu Ming shook his head regretfully. "Moreover … Copper and Iron Zombies are troublesome to refine, and they're extremely afraid of Thunder, so they're restrained by it. Unless I can cultivate into a Golden Zombie … Unfortunately, my magic power is far from enough!"
With his meager magic power, which had just opened up his consciousness, it was really difficult for him to cultivate any Daoist spells with shocking destructive power.
"Should I go to the main shrine to exchange for one? However, merit points are precious, so I should at least save some for the next mission … "
Of course, Wu Qing was also an option, but Wu Ming knew that the Daoist Academy had strict management of Daoist spells, so he did not want to put Wu Qing in a difficult position and put her in danger.
"On the other hand, in Daoist Qing Ping's handwritten scroll, there are a few minor spells that he obtained when he was wandering, so I should take a look …"
With this thought in mind, Wu Ming flipped open the scroll.
Daoist Qing Ping was an itinerant cultivator, but he was extremely talented in geomancy and geomancy. Relying on swindling others, he had obtained a few true incantations by chance, and in addition to his self-cultivation and self-enlightenment, he had also discovered some things.
The others were fine, but there was a Spiritual Eye Technique that he was quite proud of, and he recorded it down carefully.
"Spiritual Eye Technique?"
Wu Ming muttered to himself.
In reality, there were many ways to open the Spiritual Eye in Daoist sects, and they were all used to see ghosts and communicate with Yin and Yang.
However, Daoist Qing Ping claimed that his Spiritual Eye Technique could not only see the netherworld, but it could also reflect fate and discern geomancy. This was truly extraordinary.
"In this Daoist spell, there are Seal Appearance, Name Appearance, Human Appearance, Family Appearance, and Tomb Appearance. From Human Appearance to Fengshui and Dragon Veins, and then to the fate of a country, one can live a carefree life. Daoist Qing Ping relied on this to gain a place in the Zhou Clan, and it's really not an exaggeration …"
The incantation that Daoist Qing Ping recorded was quite simple. Wu Ming thought for a while, and then closed his eyes.
In his sea of consciousness, his magic power condensed, and suddenly turned into a rune.
This was the foundation of the spell, the true seed of the Daoist rune!
When he opened his eyes again, the rune's reflection appeared in his pupils, and there were traces of light flashing.
"So easy?"
Although it was just a small spell, Wu Ming still felt that it was quite unbelievable that it could be done in such a short time.
"This Spiritual Eye Technique … I've mastered it just like that?"
Wu Ming was a little incredulous, and then looked around the room, but there was nothing. His heart moved, and he raised his left hand, and the dark gold ring emitted traces of light.
Now that he had some confidence, he took out a bronze mirror, and looked at himself.
"This is …"
In the bronze mirror, he saw a young man who seemed to be only sixteen or seventeen years old. His face was like jade, and red and white energy gathered above his head, forming the shape of a wave. There was also a circle of clear light protecting his body.
"So clear?"
Wu Ming was a little surprised, and said, "And I haven't consumed any energy …"
He then walked out of the house, and looked into the distance.
In the vast land, strands of white gas came from all directions and gathered above the fort. Within the dense white gas, it formed a red color and supported him.
"This is the Earth Vein Qi! The energy brought by two thousand mu of fertile land and two hundred tenant farmers! "Seeing this, he immediately understood.
"Strange, didn't the letter say, '… if you want to look at the Qi, meditate, and you will see the colors … if the Earth Vein is thick, you will be sick for three months …'"
Wu Ming couldn't help but think of Daoist Qing Ping's words.
He used to read people's faces, and every time, he could only get a rough idea, and it was very vague. The only time he chose a grave for the Zhou family, he first burned incense and prayed, fasted, and bathed for three days and three nights before he dared to make a move. He could only see the colors of the Earth Vein, and in order to identify the auspicious color, he had to put in a lot of effort, and even suffered the backlash of the Earth Dragon, and was sick for three months.
Even so, there was still a hint of complacency in the letter.
"Then what about me?"
"Could it be that my physique is extraordinary, and is especially compatible with this Dao technique? Or could it be that my eyes … have changed?"
In a flash, Wu Ming thought of the Chief God's Apostle's hint.
"Obtaining the Field of Truth … Could it be that this ability to see through all illusions can be brought to the Dazhou World?"
