He started as a shepherd and took on countless jobs.

By searching mountains and seas to obtain what they need for cultivation, they can also learn command skills, which in turn makes it easier for Pei Si to control the paper doll army.

"My current spiritual strength is enough for me to create a third spirit-possessed paper doll!"

Now, Pei Si has many choices to make.

Sheep herder, knife-wielder, paper craftsman, qi refiner, yin-yang talisman master.

Who should I choose?

In Qingcheng County, Pei Si kept a paper craftsman, but the quality of the paper figures he made before now seemed rather sloppy.

If you want to upgrade it to a spirit paper figure, the quality of the paper figures it makes will increase dramatically.

If you choose the shepherd, then you can entrust him with the important task of finding the Wind-Fixing Pearl.

If you choose the swordsman, well, that's out of the question.

If one chooses to become a Qi cultivator, it is unknown whether one possesses the "Cleansing Rain" immortal foundation within their body.

If one chooses the Yin-Yang Talisman, I wonder if one can replicate his Devouring Spirit Pure Primordial Talisman?

"Although the martial arts are a complete replica, this immortal foundation..."

Pei Si was unsure and decided to test the waters first.

Pei Si held a fragment of origin, which he had just obtained from Senior Sister Qingfeng.

Pei Si made another paper figure, which looked very different from himself. He put in the fragment of the origin and solidified the paper skeleton.

The Seven Methods of Painting Spirits: Give heartfelt blood, contain thoughts, and entrust spirits.

"The health benefits of paper products are truly potent; they can even restore one's vitality!"

Although the immortal foundation [Zhuozhiyu] was not directly replicated, as long as there is spiritual energy in the dantian, an immortal foundation can be built.

Can we not build immortal foundations together?

Then I can just start foundation building separately, right?

Putting Yin and Yang aside for now, we must make sure to complete the Five Virtues!

Pei Si narrowed his eyes.

The foundation of the Water Virtue Immortal has been built; one of the other four virtues will be selected to complete the foundation.

"From this day forward, this body will be called Bai Guanxing."

Pei Si gazed at Bai Guanxing, lost in thought.

Introducing me to Qingcheng Mountain? That's probably not an option.

With so many revisions, if someone were to see through it, the consequences would be immeasurable.

"Perhaps it's time to get out and explore."

Several major sects came to mind.

Yellow Maple Valley, Duchen Mountain, Medicine Valley...

"Fine, fine, I'll go myself then." Pei Si stretched and decided to visit his master.

The main temple where the dragon was slain.

The smoke curled from the rhinoceros horn incense burner.

A floral fragrance filled the temple.

The two female Taoist priests were sitting and talking, with laughter occasionally breaking the silence.

Huang Ting, Miao Yin.

Miaoyin sensed something, glanced outside the palace, and gently tapped her knee with her jade-like fingers covered in black nail polish, saying with a smile, "Your genius disciple has returned."

Huang Ting: "My four disciples are all geniuses. I don't know who you are talking about."

"Hmph, you're just showing off." Miaoyin rolled her eyes at Huang Ting.

Pei Si stepped across the threshold and bowed respectfully.

"Disciple greets Master and pays respects to the nun Miaoyin."

"Rise," Huang Ting said calmly.

Miaoyin glanced at Huang Ting and wondered why he was sitting so dignified all of a sudden.

Just now when we were talking about this little apprentice, he was all arrogant, but now he's acting like this.

"Xuanjian, I heard you prepared gifts for Qingfeng and Mingyue, why didn't you prepare one for your master?" Miaoyin teased.

"The nun has misunderstood me." Pei Si took something out of his sleeve.

Pure in texture, incense holder style.

"Disciple thanks Master for transmitting the Dharma. Recently, I slew three dragons and used their single horns to make incense holders, which I offer to Master."

Pei Si presented it with both hands.

Miaoyin: "..."

They're all disciples, yet the difference between them is so vast!

Huang Tingzhen nodded slightly, accepted the incense holder, and said calmly, "Thank you for your thoughtfulness."

Miaoyin: "It is truly rare for Xuanjian to have such filial piety."

Pei Si: "Master taught well."

Huang Ting: "You've reached the third level of foundation building. It seems you've been diligent in your cultivation. Not bad."

"Don't hesitate to ask if you need anything."

Pei Si scratched his head.

Master is truly accurate in judging people!

"Master, during my travels down the mountain, I met a fellow Daoist who has not yet established his foundation."

"May I ask, Master, within this Qian Kingdom, besides my Qingcheng Mountain, which sect possesses a superior Foundation Establishment method?"

Pei Si asked in a loud voice.

"Let me think about it," Huang Ting said, pondering.

Miaoyin also became interested, her face full of gossip, and jokingly asked, "Xuanjian, is your fellow Daoist male or female?"

"Have you ever been married?"

Pei Si: "?"

Pei Si was speechless for a moment, then replied, "Male, male."

"Oh, Xuanjian, are you engaged? If you're not yet married, how about I introduce you to someone?" Miaoyin said with a doting smile.

Pei Si remained silent.

Why is the nun Miaoyin acting as the matchmaker?

"Fairy Maiden, although I entered the Dao halfway through my life, my heart is set on the profound! I know nothing about listening to music in brothels."

Pei Si replied seriously, without blushing or skipping a beat.

"Ahem, let's have a proper chat. What's the point of listening to music in brothels?" For some reason, Miaoyin's face suddenly flushed, like the evening glow, quite... .

"Does your fellow Daoist intend to cultivate diligently, or does he intend to stir up trouble?" Huang Ting glanced at Miao Yin indifferently and spat inwardly.

"I observe that fellow Daoist to be no peaceful character; he is surely destined to stir up trouble," Pei Si replied matter-of-factly.

"Go to Yan Kingdom. Unlike Qian Kingdom, Yan Kingdom is a place where sects are supreme. The most powerful sect is called Tai Xuan Fu Dao Palace, and its master is also the national teacher of Yan Kingdom."

"If your fellow Daoist is exceptionally talented, joining the Great Profound Talisman Dao Palace will not be a problem," Huang Ting said slowly.

Huang Ting: "Perfect timing. The Dao Sect Secret Realm is about to open in Yan Kingdom. You can take your fellow Daoist with you when you do."

Yan Kingdom is a kingdom located on the northern border of Qian Kingdom.

"A secret realm of the Daoist sect? Please enlighten me, Master."

Pei Si had never heard of this Daoist sect's secret realm before, and asked in bewilderment.

"The Dao Sect Secret Realm is the site where an unknown cultivator from the Purple Mansion Realm transformed after his death. Within the secret realm are the magical inheritances, talismans, treasures, and so on left behind by this cultivator."

"Developed jointly by the Qian and Yan kingdoms, this secret realm is accessible only to cultivators below the Purple Mansion level."

Huang Ting explained.

"Understood."

"Master, is there a limit to the number of people allowed in this Dao Sect secret realm?" Pei Si humbly inquired.

"Qingcheng Mountain has thirty spots available."

"Each round has ten slots." Huang Ting picked up the incense burner lid and added incense with her delicate hands.

Pei Si understood.

The foundation is laid for a nine-story building.

The third floor is closed.

Tail Gate, Spine Gate, Jade Pillow Gate.

Once you pass the Tail Gap, you've reached the third level of foundation building; once you pass the Ridge Gap, you've reached the sixth level of foundation building...

The distribution is quite reasonable, to prevent a shortage of seedlings in Qingcheng Mountain.

"Xuanjian, give it your all and fight for a spot."

"This time, I'll lead the team." The nun Miaoyin tapped her fingers.

Pei Si felt ashamed.

I wanted to ask my master which sect had the most profound Foundation Establishment method, but if I let Bai Guanxing accompany the Qingcheng Mountain cultivators, this Miaoyin nun's nose is so sharp, what if she smells something out?

Pei Si had no choice but to say, "Master, although my fellow Daoist wants to stir up trouble, he wants to remain behind the scenes. If he sees so many people from Qingcheng Mountain, it might be inconvenient for him."

"May I ask, Master, when will this small competition within the mountain begin?"

"You're going to escort him there yourself?"

"There might not be enough time." Huang Ting frowned slightly, stood up, looked directly at Pei Si, and said coldly:

"Very well, Xuanjian, let me weigh you first."

"If you are qualified, I will recommend you."

Pei Si: "?"

"Draw your sword."
