The Older Generation's Fighting Methods

Pei Si left the palace.

The "True Secrets of Washing Branches and Gathering Water" has only two lines of incantation, which is very concise, but also very powerful.

Pei Si softly recited: "Bathing in the rain, my heart is cleansed and all streams flow back; washing the branches, my essence is strengthened and mysteries are solidified. I dare to make all rivers and seas bow their heads, for I alone embrace the true energy and wield the power of water."

I wonder if this secret of water gathering can be combined with his Taoist art of "Gathering Rainbow Qi".

The pure and moist water qi of heaven and earth, the qi of rain, mist and clouds, the essence of springs and streams, and the essence of moonlight and water mentioned by the Master are highly superimposed with the qi gathered in the "Rainbow Breathing Method".

"【Gathering Rainbow Qi】: After rain, at dawn and dusk, contemplate the rainbow in the heavens and earth, which contains the essence of the sun, moon, and clouds. Absorb the primordial pure Qi and the essence of the five elements from the rainbow's light into your body, refine yourself, and nourish your life foundation!"

The rain has stopped and the moonlight is quite fitting.

However, the foundation-building process is a bit too long, taking three hundred days to build the foundation.

Lines of small ink-wash characters appeared before Pei Si.

[Judge: Pei Si]

[Position: Qi Refiner (White)]

【Taoist Arts: Gathering Rainbow Qi】

[Job Evaluation: By absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth into one's body, one refines one's character and establishes a foundation for the Dao, then enters the Purple Palace to form the Golden Elixir. With such abilities, one wields supernatural powers, capable of moving mountains and filling seas, radiating golden light across the earth, and even bringing the dead back to life. Therefore, one is also known as the Seeker of the Law! Those with great supernatural powers ascend to the Jade Capital!]

The Qi Refiner (Green) can obtain the Daoist skill [Innate Dao Seed].

[Overview of Daoist Arts: Establishing a foundation for immortality creates an innate Dao seed, a root for top seekers of the Great Dao. Therefore, those born with an innate Dao seed experience no confusion in their cultivation, regarding the illusory realm of the Great Void as nothing!]

"【Innate Dao Seed】: The master of this Dao art possesses an innate seed for refining Qi. If there are no obstacles, achieving the Purple Mansion cultivation level will be as easy as turning one's hand, and as for the Golden Core, it is not impossible to attain! When using spells and talismans, they will be at their full power!"

[Promotion Requirements: Establish one of the Five Virtues Immortal Foundations of Yin and Yang, or possess one of the Five Elements Spiritual Objects!]

The requirements for advancement to Qi Refiner are also quite stringent.

Possessing one of the Five Elements Spiritual Objects is no easy feat. According to Master, these Five Elements Spiritual Objects are what Foundation Establishment cultivators nurture, and they are connected to their own immortal foundation.

These five elements of spiritual objects must be compatible with oneself.

Therefore, the Celestial Master Cave does not pass on the Five Elements spiritual objects to its disciples. After establishing their immortal foundation, they descend the mountain to experience the mortal world and find the Five Elements spiritual objects that suit them.

These five spiritual objects come in various forms, such as swords, seals, flags, gourds, and so on.

However, the enhancement brought by this skill, [Innate Dao Seed], is not ordinary.

Just by saying that he can unleash the full power of the spell!

Senior Sister Mingyue is an expert in talismans. If she draws a talisman and gives it to Pei Si, Pei Si can only unleash 60% of its power at most!

Unless one is a genius in the art of talismans, possessing a profound understanding of the principles and rules governing their operation, such a prodigy might be able to unleash ninety percent of their power!

It's like casting someone else's spell with full power, which is extremely special!

Furthermore, entering the Purple Mansion is as easy as turning one's hand; it's like receiving an admission notice from Purple Mansion University in advance.

Let's take it one step at a time, and build the foundation for immortality first.

Pei Si sorted out his thoughts and, after wandering around, arrived at the Foreign Affairs Office.

He was destined not to stay on the mountain for long.

Foreign Affairs Office.

The offices at Qingcheng Mountain handle external affairs, accepting commissions; in short, they resolve disputes for people.

If your home is uneasy, plagued by demons and evil spirits, or persecuted by unscrupulous practitioners, look for the Qingcheng Mountain External Service Hall. The Qingcheng Mountain Tianshi Cave, Shangqing Palace, and Erlang Palace are dedicated to serving you.

The tasks that can be posted in the hall have all been confirmed by the disciples at the foot of the mountain who are responsible for collecting commissions.

Pei Si, sleeves tucked in, paused at the task distribution point.

I must say, the Foreign Affairs Office is quite particular; they even classify tasks according to their level of danger.

There are five levels: A, B, C, D, and E.

Pei Si was looking for a mission to cut down mountains and destroy temples.

He can't afford to mess with a big mountain like Langdang Mountain right now. If he bullies a small mountain, wouldn't he be able to easily crush it?

"I'm really lucky today," Pei Si said happily.

"Xiaoli Mountain, an affiliated force of Langdang Mountain, is inhabited by several wolf demons who demand blood offerings from the villagers below. Mission rating: D."

"Little Green Mountain, an affiliated force of Langdang Mountain, is inhabited by a tree demon that has cultivated into a spirit and demands that the villagers at the foot of the mountain offer men in exchange for pleasure. Mission rating: D."

"Xiaozhu is at Xiaobai Lake, a subordinate force of Langdang Mountain. There is a lake bull demon there who has proclaimed himself the lake god and demands that the villagers at the foot of the mountain offer him young boys and girls as sacrifices. Mission rating: D."

These three tasks are exactly what Pei Si needs.

"I'll take on these three tasks, thank you for your trouble," Pei Si said, bowing slightly.

The disciple in charge looked up at Pei Si, his attitude neither warm nor cold, "Please show your identity token, fellow Daoist."

Pei Si handed over a jade tablet.

This jade plaque is about the size of a palm and is lightweight. The words "Celestial Master Cave" and "Slaying the Dragon" are carved on its left and right sides.

The front is carved with a huge dragon walking on water, and a long sword is carved on the neck of the dragon.

The imagery of slaying a dragon!

The back is engraved with the two large characters "玄鑒".

Upon receiving the jade token, the disciples in charge straightened their posture, put on smiles, and became more enthusiastic.

"So it's Master Xuanjian. We'll register you here."

"Wait a minute, fellow Daoist. Taking on three Rank D missions by yourself seems a bit too greedy. Have you been ordained?"

Suddenly, a sharp, high-pitched voice rang out, reminding Pei Si of a certain animal.

Male duck.

A Taoist priest dressed in a Taoist robe, with a fake eye drawn with cinnabar between his brows, and fair skin covered with powder, walked towards Pei Si.

Pei Si's gaze lingered on the fake eye for two or three seconds, and he realized what lineage this hoarse voice belonged to.

Erlang Palace Taoist!

They take Wu Erlang as their patriarch, practice Wu Erlang's magic, are skilled at making protective objects, and rely on these objects to fight their enemies.

What is a talisman?

Objects used to suppress, deter, or subdue evil spirits, malevolent forces, inauspicious places, and yin entities.

Stone guardians, mountain and sea guardians, peregrine fleas, and yishan plaques, as well as five-emperor coins, longevity locks, peach wood swords, door gods, spring couplets, and mugwort, are all used as talismans!

Pei Si glanced sideways, his fist already clenched in his sleeve.

"Fellow Daoist, does the External Affairs Hall have a rule limiting the number of missions that can be accepted at one time?"

The disciple in charge shook his head and said, "No."

He quickly registered Pei Si's task and returned the jade token.

Pei Si accepted the jade token with a smile, looked at the hoarse-voiced man, and said with a grin, "There's no rule in the mountains that restricts the number of missions you can accept!"

"What, do you think your own rules are more important than the entire Qingcheng Mountain?!"

"I see you have ulterior motives and want to oppose the orthodox tradition!"

"You're so actively obstructing me from taking on the mission to slay demons and monsters; could it be that you're colluding with demons?"

Pei Si unleashed a barrage of attacks, showering the hoarse-voiced man with insults, until his face turned red and his eyes gleamed.

Pei Si still uses the old-fashioned playing style.

The man with the hoarse voice pointed at Pei Si, but was too excited to speak, only able to keep saying, "You...you...you!~"

Pei Si snorted coldly and turned away.
