Taoist Ordination Judge

Pei Si concentrated.

He looked at the red palace lantern on the back of his left hand with a solemn expression.

How could he remember that the red light brand was initially on the back of his right hand?

Otherwise, why would he wear a glove on his right hand?

Pei Si took off his gloves and looked at the smooth, fair back of his right hand.

The clues in my mind came together.

The three large characters "Yanyu Tower" came to mind.

The trunk keeper who hanged himself at home.

His fellow disciple, Fang Shimu, once told him that the tuft of hair originally belonged to a wart on his left cheek. After the paper beauty killed him, the wart moved to his right cheek, which should be due to the influence of the red light.

Upside down!

Pei Si speculated that this influence not only affects the physical body but may also affect the mind.

He is right-handed, but now he is showing signs of becoming left-handed.

The key is that doing this will make you feel more and more normal.

Pei Si pinched his chin with his fingers, speculating on the Red Lantern Lady's abilities.

First, wherever the red lantern shines, as long as the Red Lantern Goddess is willing, she can transform the heads of all living beings within the area covered by the red light into red lanterns.

Second, being corrupted by her power will lead to a reversal of physical and mental states until the corrupted person adapts, completely changing a person from the inside out.

Pei Si's gaze was deep and unfathomable. Within his sea of ​​consciousness, the [Comprehensive Mirror of All Trades] trembled slightly, and a wisp of blue light fell into Pei Si's body.

[Judge: Pei Si]

【Position: Paper Craftsman (Blue)】

【Taoist Arts: Proficient in paper crafting, able to use it for my own purposes, imbuing paper with spirit】

[Job Evaluation: Paper-making is one of the eight arts of Yin, using bamboo as the bone and paper as the skin! It connects the Yin and Yang, and comforts the spirits of the deceased.]

[Paper Craftsman (Purple)] can obtain the Taoist art of [Paper Nourishment].

[Taoist Arts Overview: Cultivating Paper Spirits Together, Returning to the Original Body!]

"【Paper Nourishment】: The master infuses paper with his heart's essence and thoughts, which not only has the ability to command and control it, but is also regarded as a separate spirit that can cultivate martial arts and refine Qi on his behalf. The merits gained will be traced back through the spiritual contract and fully nourish the original body!"

[Promotion Requirements: Complete mastery of the Seven Techniques of Spirit Painting! Stable soul capable of supporting connections to multiple spirit-possessed paper figures.]

Paper for health?!

It can split into two bodies and possess a spirit, who can cultivate together and the gains will be fed back to the original body!

Pei Si's eyes gleamed with a sharp light.

This skill is slightly beyond the standard.

When taking on a new position, the initial promotion criteria may conflict.

For example, the initial promotion conditions for [Sword Cultivator] and [Qi Refiner].

The former is practicing swordsmanship a hundred times, the latter is entering a meditative state a hundred times.

These two are not contradictory.

However, if there are contradictions, paper-based health products can perfectly solve this problem.

Pei Si had never heard of the Seven Methods of Painting Spirits. Judging from the name, he guessed that it should be a high-level technique in the paper-folding category.

Pei Si had no clue as to how to stabilize his soul.

Once the [Yin Yang Register] is upgraded, it can be fused to create the new class [Duan Gong]!

However, both of these basic professions are of the blue rank, so it's unclear what rank the new profession created by fusion will be.

The [Qi Refiner] class, [Sword Cultivator], shines brightly beside it.

[Judge: Pei Si]

【Position: Swordsman (White)】

【Taoist Art: Sword Mind Clear and Bright】

[Job Evaluation: Among sword cultivators, killing power should be paramount! There once was a sword immortal who reigned supreme in the north, wielding the Northern Black Horned Demon-Slaying Sword, sweeping away countless demons! Those who cultivate this path should remember: even if towering mountains lie ahead, surrounded by hordes of demons, I will shatter them all with a single sword strike!]

[Sword Cultivator (Azure)] can obtain the Daoist art [Azure Edge Returns to the Dao].

[Overview of Dao Yi]: The swordsmanship of the ancients can all be incorporated into my own skills and used for my own purposes.

"【Return to the Path of the Azure Edge】: Understanding the principles of swordsmanship allows one to directly grasp the essence of swordsmanship, improve killing moves, and amplify their destructive power!"

[Promotion Requirements: Master three sword techniques, refine a killing move, and combine them into one!]

…………

The next day.

Pei Si got up early.

After using the sword talisman to trick the Red Lantern Goddess, she went into seclusion.

Today, the ordination judge of the Taoist temple will descend upon Mount Qingcheng to confer ordination certificates.

Qingcheng Mountain did not hold a grand welcoming ceremony; it was no different from any other day.

Outside the palace/temple.

Pei Si had her sleeves tucked in, with her two senior sisters, Qingfeng and Mingyue, standing on either side of her.

With a blade of grass between his teeth, Mingyue said, "This time, only our junior brother from our lineage will be promoted."

Pei Si: "What do you mean? Your two senior sisters haven't accumulated enough merit?"

Qingfeng, with a plum blossom hairpin in her hair, whispered, "My senior sister and I have already advanced our rank three times. The merit required for each advancement has increased dramatically compared to the last."

Pei Si nodded.

The merits he has recorded during this period are probably not even a fraction of what his two senior sisters have accumulated.

The lineage of the Dragon Slayer was initially granted the [Three Mountains Exorcising Evil Register], which is lethal to evil spirits.

Mingyue: "The characteristics of the talisman bestowed upon a student can be chosen by the student according to their own preferences."

"As for me, I am skilled in the art of talismans, so the talisman I hold is called the Taiding Lingcheng Talisman. This talisman contains the Daoist principles of peace and tranquility, which can greatly increase my success rate in drawing talismans, resolve variables and fluctuations during the drawing process, and produce talismans of higher quality."

That's it!

Pei Si had thought that their lineage was destined to follow a single path to the bitter end, but it turned out that they possessed a talisman that allowed them to choose their own path of development.

That would be wonderful!

"They're here."

Qingfeng suddenly said.

Pei Si looked up at the sky, but there was no one there; only a line of birds flew by.

Three breaths later.

A Dharma boat broke through the clouds and mist, like a whale splitting the sea, parting the clouds and mist, and hovering above Mount Qingcheng.

Pei Si vaguely saw seven figures standing on the Dharma boat, which transformed into streams of light and descended upon Qingcheng Mountain.

"Huh, why is she here?" Mingyue frowned slightly.

Pei Si followed Mingyue's gaze and looked over there.

A woman was seen walking towards the Zhanjiao Temple.

Her skin was as white as jade, her features were delicate and exquisite, her figure was petite yet curvaceous, and she had a cinnabar mole between her eyebrows.

The ordained judge of Dongcang Daoting!

"Senior sister, do you know her?" Pei Si asked.

"Liu Yuanying was once one of Senior Brother's suitors, but he couldn't have her," Qingfeng whispered, blinking his peach blossom eyes.

Upon hearing this...

Pei Si looked like he was watching a melon seed.

Is there more to the story?

I had only heard a few stories about this senior brother, Yu Suiyu.

He was able to enter the central government of the Dongcang Dao Court due to his entanglement with the Qinglian Temple, and is currently serving as the law enforcement officer of the Dongcang Dao Court.

He must have been a dashing and debonair figure, a true prodigy.

Unrequited love, tsk tsk tsk.

"Qingfeng, Mingyue, it's been a long time. How have you been?" Liu Yuanying greeted them with a smile, his hands behind his back and the corners of his mouth turned up.

"Fellow Daoist Liu, how have you been?" Qingfeng and Mingyue replied politely.

Liu Yuanying nodded and looked at Pei Si, who was sandwiched between the two.

"This is Xuanjian, the new disciple of Huang Nuguan? He's quite handsome," Liu Yuanying praised, secretly commenting, "but compared to your senior brother, he's still a bit lacking."

She was in a great mood, able to visit the lineage of Yu Suiyu and bestow ordination upon his junior brother. If she encountered Yu Suiyu again upon returning to the Eastern Cang Dao Court, she could even use it as a topic of conversation and exchange a few words with him.

For Liu Yuanying, this was already an immense stroke of luck.

"You flatter me, Judge. I am but a pretty face; my understanding of the Dao and its principles still needs improvement," Pei Si said modestly.
