I am the Mountain Spirit Refiner

Pei Si's mind stirred.

Hongdeng slightly squatted down, her slender, pale hands folded together, and performed a curtsy.

As easy as using an arm!

This is the power of a combined professional player!

Since there was already a battalion of unruly soldiers, Pei Si simply decided to become a general and take charge of managing the battalion.

Hongdeng nodded slightly and said softly, "This concubine obeys."

Pei Si's gaze was deep and unfathomable. The King of Yang'an County?

Now, he is the real mastermind behind Yang'an County!

Pei Si reached out and summoned five broken demon cores into his palm.

What we just obtained.

"I have a treasure trove in my household. Please come with me, Master," Hongdeng said softly.

…………

The Red Lantern Mansion, formerly the county government office, has been converted into the private residence of the Red Lanterns.

Lanterns were hung everywhere in the mansion, but the lanterns here were all different styles.

The lanterns are decorated with cute shapes, such as rabbits and lions.

Pei Si's expression was strange as he stared at the red light's profile; it was quite a contrast.

Hong Deng, with her calm demeanor, wasp waist, and plump hips, led Pei Si into the treasure room.

Treasure chests are everywhere.

Pei Si casually opened a treasure chest, which was full of incense money.

With a wave of his hand, Hongdeng summoned two round, brimming demon cores that floated between the two.

"Master, these two demon cores also have a history. They came from the bodies of a pair of transformed python demons. Please enjoy them."

Pei Si readily accepted the two demon cores. "Go out and protect me."

Hongdeng nodded obediently and closed the door to the treasure room.

Pei Si made a hand seal, summoning the Great Dao soldiers to protect him.

Pei Si took out all the demon cores and threw them into his mouth.

Then, set up the Monkey Embracing the Moon stance.

The demon core merged into his body, transforming into streams of qi and blood flowing through Pei Si's meridians.

In an instant, my blood and energy surged.

The internal energy and blood furnace is like a constantly running machine, continuously transforming into true blood and vital energy.

boom!

A powerful aura emanated from Pei Si.

The second layer of protective energy has been formed!

…………

Pei Si slowly woke up, a feeling of unease rising within him.

Looking down, I saw that my hand had shrunk several times over, becoming like a child's.

Pei Si looked around at the rows of throwing knives hanging on the wall and the dried-out animal hides.

This scene awakened memories deep within Pei Si's mind.

Pei Si sat up from the kang (heated brick bed), his lips twitching slightly.

So, you're starting your rebirth from childhood?

Within the sea of ​​consciousness, the "Comprehensive Mirror of All Trades" continues to shine brightly.

Pei Si secretly deduced that he had been pulled into some kind of illusion, and immediately made a hand seal to summon Bai Xiao.

Your natal spirit sheep will guide you!

If it is an illusion, then to make him fall for it, one should be thorough in every aspect.

A loving family, childhood friends, childhood sweethearts, and so on.

But now, Pei Si is all alone at home.

Pei Si stepped out of the house. The village was quiet; not even a dog barked.

"Meow~"

Bai Xiao walked ahead of him, leaving two lines of gray-white sheep tracks in his wake.

Suddenly.

Pei Si stopped.

Ahead on the road stood a figure all too familiar, a figure who could be described as Pei Si's childhood nightmare.

Shaped like a water vat, entirely black, and headless.

Half a cylinder!

According to Master Xu, once this half-jar is consumed, it will consume three generations. If the descendants practice martial arts, it will be easier to detect.

For martial arts practitioners, the half-eaten jar is like a nourishing piece of fat.

He used the demon core to break through to the second level of the outer qi realm, which must have attracted the attention of this great evil spirit.

Just as the red light disaster was over, the half-broken tank set its sights on him.

Master Xu mentioned that the broken jar was being hunted down by a seeker of supernatural powers, and it would take at least sixty years before it could reappear.

What, you've come knocking on our door now?

Could it be that there is also an opportunity to replenish the yin body?

Bai Xiao stood in the middle, but the officers and soldiers did not respond.

Pei Si assumed a boxing stance, silently calling upon the red lantern.

In an instant.

The sky, which was originally shrouded in black mist, seemed to have been violently torn open, and a ray of red light shone in.

With a thought, Pei Si thrust a long sword into the ground in front of him.

The half-bottle remained standing in the same spot, motionless.

This illusion seems to be the eerie realm of the broken jar.

The eerie realm of the red light possesses a corrosive quality.

The woman in the eight-foot-long wedding dress stood beside Pei Si and reached out to lift him up.

Pei Si grasped the sliver of moonlight.

Slay the Dharma of Envy!

The next second, the scene before Pei Si's eyes suddenly changed.

He had already returned to the treasure room.

At this moment, the door to the room was wide open, and a red lantern hung in the sky.

A dark, mist-like substance remained in place.

Hongdeng's figure appeared and stood beside Pei Si.

"Master, I want it." Red Lantern stretched out his finger and pointed at the cloud of black mist.

Pei Si remained calm and summoned the Qi-gathering and Qi-consuming official.

"What is this? Do you recognize it?" Pei Si asked.

The Qi-gathering official withdrew his hand, and the black mist floated in his palm.

"The half-bottle is part of the original essence, and for its kind, it is a great tonic."

"Place it in a jade gourd," said the official in charge of collecting and consuming Qi.

A beautifully crafted jade gourd, carved with a blue lotus, was presented to Pei Si at the opportune moment.

Red Lantern holds a jade gourd in both hands.

Pei Si's gaze was deep and mysterious. He picked up the jade gourd and put the black mist into it.

Although the Red Lantern has been trained into a powerful soldier, making him as easy to command as an extension of his own arm, it does not mean that the soldier will be devoted to him for life and will never betray him.

Rampant soldiers have a history of rebellion.

If there is any inadequate offering or improper instructions, the rampant soldiers will betray the altar master!

If the Duan Gong advances to the next rank and obtains the Daoist skill "Suppressing the Altar," the rampant soldiers will no longer rebel.

Don't be fooled by Hongguang's docile demeanor now; if Pei Si were to weaken, it might just turn around and bare its fangs at him.

Therefore, Pei Si was also wary of red lights.

Pei Si uncorked the gourd, released a wisp of black mist, and sent it into the red lantern's body.

Hong Deng closed his eyes, a smile playing on his lips, a look of pure enjoyment on his face, his lips slightly parted.

The crack on my arm is healing at an extremely slow pace.

"Perform well, and there will be more opportunities in the future." Pei Si smiled and looked at the red light, promising something in return.

Hong Deng, having been hit by a stack of talismans and had his origin dismembered by Zhan Faxianguang, was bound to experience a decline in strength.

This made it easier for Pei Si to control the situation.

Pei Si paid a heavy price for his rampant practice of illicit sexual activity.

A life-saving sword talisman bestowed by my master, a life-substitute doll, and five years of lifespan.

Pei Si took all the treasure chests from the treasure room with him.

Yang'an County is now a ghost town.

Pei Si took out a jade pendant from the treasure room that had been used by an old dragon to spread rain, hid Hong Deng inside it, and then hung it on his waist.

The sky was already turning a pale white.

Pei Si silently circulated the Qi-gathering technique, and strands of the morning sun's energy entered his body, replenishing his life force.

"I am a mountain hermit, born with a wild and unrestrained spirit..."

Pei Si rode his bronze-bell horse, gathering the energy of the rising sun, humming a little tune, and galloped towards Qingcheng Mountain.

…………

early morning.

Qingcheng Mountain.

Seeing Pei Si return unharmed, Qingfeng and Mingyue breathed a sigh of relief.

Especially Senior Sister Mingyue, who pinched and scratched Pei Si from all sides, as if afraid that her junior brother might lose a piece of flesh.

"Hey, Senior Sister, where are you touching?" Pei Si laughed and slapped Mingyue's hand away.

"Xuanjian, come in and talk to me."

A clear, cold voice rang out.

Huang Ting stood inside the threshold of the palace, his expression indifferent, and then turned around.
