It all started with one person becoming a shaman, but the Stand user...

It was built by the group of Jingye Temple monks who had fled here, after consulting with Qinghe Miao.

The Fenglingyueying Temple itself only has one "fake Taoist priest," Qinghe Miao, and rarely holds formal Taoist rituals.

The daily lives of these monks perfectly fill a certain religious void.

When used properly, faith can be very effective in calming people's hearts, and it can be described as simple and quick.

They chant scriptures and worship Buddha every day, ringing the morning bell and beating the evening drum, performing rituals for the deceased and praying for the living, which has gradually become part of the spiritual life of this place.

When holding ceremonies, he often brings Feng Lingyue Yingguan along to help explain some of the profound meanings of Taoist scriptures.

He's even more professional than Qinghe Miao.

The Fenglingyueying Temple, on the other hand, is more involved in the work of resource coordination, dispute mediation, security maintenance, and development decision-making.

Qinghe Miao maintained basic order here through the guards, the accountant, and several elected leaders of the displaced people.

It had been two or three years since any large-scale war had directly affected the area, resulting in a rare period of peace and vitality.

This is probably no bigger than an ordinary county town.

"Unfortunately, the good days are probably not going to last long."

Qinghe Miao sighed inwardly.

Even if they don't take the initiative in the future, the world is already going to fall into chaos again.

It's really hard to predict what the future holds.

However, we should take it one day at a time as long as we can enjoy the good days.

With her thoughts returning to normal, Qinghe Miao poured the remaining tea from the bowl onto the ground, put down the bowl, and opened the system interface.

Besides Huang Wulang's matter, there was another issue worth noting today.

Through his own cultivation, his level naturally and successfully increased by one level not long ago, reaching LV15.

This means that he has gained another valuable opportunity to draw a new Stand!

Moreover, he has just turned eighteen and reached level fifteen.

On average, there are slightly fewer students taking the first grade each year.

But this speed is already quite wide.

It should be noted that he only formally began practicing the art of horse cultivation at the age of eight, which is not a particularly early start.

And after he fully comes of age.

Free from the worries of their parents throughout their lives, their actions will no longer affect them.

Then you can do a lot of things.

With a hint of anticipation, I clicked the "Extract" button on the system panel.

The illusory light and shadow spun rapidly in my consciousness, the colorful light flowing erratically, and finally slowly came to a stop.

A silhouette, seemingly woven from vines, branches, and thorns, appeared in the center of the system panel.

The substitute panel gradually lit up.

Depend on!

【The Purple Hermit】?

you are vicious.

Upon seeing this result, Qing Hemiao's lips twitched involuntarily.

His feelings at this moment reminded him of when he was four years old.

The level develops naturally with the body, reaching level three.

Besides the Stand that comes with her by birth, Red Hot Chili Pepper, she gets her first chance to draw a Stand.

He was full of anticipation at that time.

The scene that was drawn was that of the "Survivor".

Chapter 74 Education

Although I don't know what Araki's intention was in stealing N's resources?

However, in the original work, DIO did indeed personally refer to his two Stands as "the most useless".

The survivors are one of them.

Okay.

Now, the "Purple Hermit" has been added.

He's finally collected both of these baby dragons and phoenixes!

Looking at the purple Stand that was wrapped around his hand like vines, Qinghe Miao couldn't help but grind his teeth, feeling a slight itch in his gums.

Of course, that's one way of saying it.

But isn't there still a saying in the world of novels?

There are no useless Stands, only Stand users who don't know how to use them.

In fact, the ability of the Stand 【Purple Hermit】 is quite useful in certain situations.

It not only has the ability to "read and write," but also can remotely see through objects, lock onto and capture images of specific people in the distance.

It can also be used to explore terrain and find hidden objects.

In theory, it can conduct "ripples" and current, so it can probably also conduct "qi" and "internal force".

If feasible, perhaps new ways of applying it can be developed.

And its ability to acquire information through "reading and writing" is in some ways no less than that of the inner vision of the sorcerer in Under One Person.

It is also more direct and less susceptible to backlash from the heavenly secrets.

In its original design, it could also use media such as televisions to forcibly project images of memories or knowledge from the target's brain.

If you wish.

Occasionally, she can even make a cameo appearance as "Spider-Man," or even cosplay as Marvel's "Spider-Man."

Of course, this is without the accompanying ability "Spider Sense".

If you dare to play like this among the skyscrapers of a metropolis, you're very likely to run into a wall.

Overall, the Purple Hermit has enormous potential in intelligence gathering, information acquisition, and even assisting exploration; if used well, it can be considered a divine skill.

Don't underestimate these abilities.

If, in the original JoJo's Bizarre Adventure manga, during the Diamond Is Unbreakable era in Part 4, JoJo was still young...

Combined with Jotaro's martial prowess.

The series can be swept away from the very first episode all the way to the finale.

Even that one that seems the most ridiculous.

The only way to intensify other people's emotions is by remotely controlling the environment.

Indiscriminately attacking or antagonizing others will incite conflict.

It also comes with a [Survivor] who has a special visual ability to observe the opponent's physical "strengths".

Qinghe Miao had everything prepared, and later he would meet Lei Yanpao Gao Ning, the monk with the Buddhist name "Yongjue" from the Quanxing "Four Madmen".

Let's give him a good scare.

Unfortunately, he doesn't even have a cell phone anymore, let alone an old-fashioned camera.

And so, as Huang Wulang and the others worked diligently to prepare for the upcoming exams, the university entrance exams in the main world drew ever closer, and the atmosphere grew increasingly tense.

That morning, after breakfast, Qing Hemiao, seeing his mother's unusually diligent behavior lately, finally couldn't help but speak up.

"Mom, why are you bowing so enthusiastically?"

He leaned against the doorframe, watching the scene with a hint of speechlessness.

Then, Qingmu respectfully lit three sticks of incense and placed them in the incense burner in front of the altar where the White Immortal's tablet was enshrined.

He muttered some incantations and then bowed deeply three times.

These past few days, the people have been diligently tending to the incense sticks, lighting them one after another.

"What nonsense are you talking about!"

Qing's mother turned around and gave him a reproachful look:

"Aren't you usually the one who respects these things the most? What, can't I show respect too? You're usually diligent, so you can't slack off these next two days!"

"Your university entrance exams are coming up soon, so let's hope the White Snake Goddess blesses you with good grades! Aren't you always practicing those 'tricks'? Now's the time to put them to use! Otherwise, what's the point of practicing them?"

"Those 'methods'?"

Qinghe Miao shook her head and chuckled as she checked her schoolbag:

"Mom, the university entrance exam was a major event at least on par with the imperial examination in ancient times. Do you think the country didn't have a way to deal with people like us? According to legend, on the day of the exam, there are 'dragon energy' and 'the Purple Star Emperor' and other gods and Buddhas watching over the sky, so ordinary magic can't be used."

To be realistic, even if we're given the same exam hall, I wouldn't be surprised at all if each hall had a Taoist priest from Longhu Mountain to supervise us. My grades aren't bad to begin with, why bother with those kinds of thoughts? Stop overthinking things.

Stop the internal strife and forgive yourself.

Moreover, these extraordinary people practice Qi cultivation.

I was already clear-headed and full of energy.

Their memory, comprehension, and reaction speed far exceed those of ordinary people.

They have a natural advantage over ordinary candidates in terms of learning and exams.

As for whether Bai Xian actually possesses this ability, how could his disciple, who has been sent to shamanic practice, not know?

If you don't believe me, you can ask them anytime.

When they have nothing to do, they can chat about everyday things.

These words were only said to outsiders; why didn't my own mother remember them?

"So you really have no other options? You can't use any of your skills?"

Qing's mother said, clearly unwilling:

"I've been teaching you how to be a decent person for a while now, and this is about your future. I'll use any means necessary. You can cheat a little during the exam, every extra point counts, as long as you don't get caught! I'm not telling you to harm anyone!"

This is a very normal reaction.

"It's okay if my fate is to take this exam."

Qinghe Miao scoffed at this.

But turning around to look at his birth mother in this life, a slight tremor ran through him, and he stopped what he was doing, pondering for a moment:

"However... it's not entirely without them."

Qing's mother's eyes lit up, and she immediately perked up her ears to listen, pressing for an answer:

"Is there really a way?"

Qinghe Miao nodded, and said thoughtfully:

"Using some safer methods to improve the score by a few points is not impossible."

"Then use it! We don't care about anything right now."

"That's what Qingmu said with certainty."

"However, after I've used these methods, I'll have to choose which major to apply for myself; you can leave it to me."

Qinghe Miao raised one finger and slowly said.

"Okay, as long as you get into university."

When Qing's mother heard that her son could cheat more than others, she was overjoyed and readily agreed.
