He started as a shepherd and took on countless jobs.

Pei Si landed, and Hong Deng stood beside him, wearing a red veil.

Pei Si glanced at the python demon.

What a wonderful performance!

The black python curled up into a ball, its vertical pupils wide with terror, and dared not raise its head.

Great horror!

He had just clearly seen that among those lanterns were three dragon heads.

Killing him would probably be as easy as stepping on an ant.

"Immortal Master!"

Seeing this, the villagers could easily see that the Taoist priest in front of them was a reclusive master!

Pei Si tucked his hands into his sleeves, a thought forming in his mind.

The red light conveys a meaning.

The red light shone on the black python.

The next moment, the black python's head spun around in the sky and transformed into a lantern.

Devouring Spirit Pure Essence.

"This little demon is willing to serve the immortal master!" The mudfish demon kowtowed repeatedly.

He's so eager to improve!

Pei Si glanced at the mudfish demon.

His bloodline was unremarkable, and his talent was unremarkable.

It doesn't mean anything, let's train them into soldiers.

Pei Si reached out and instantly refined it, storing it in the altar.

"May I ask your real name, Immortal Master? Our Banshang Village is willing to build a shrine in your honor," Che Dali hurriedly said.

The maidservants beside the immortal master could kill the great black python demon at will.

If we can please the immortal master and bring rain to the village, it seems we can discuss it.

Pei Si shook his head and said, "No need."

"Immortal Master, we are suffering from a drought. It has been several months without rain. Please, Immortal Master, send down your sweet rain so that we may live."

The dark mass of people knelt down together.

Pei Si remained calm.

Those who save people from suffering and hardship will have their deeds recorded in the Buddhist canon and accumulate merit.

Pei Si: "Please rise."

Pei Si activated his immortal foundation, [Zhuozhiyu], and pointed a finger.

In an instant, the weather changed drastically, and thick moisture enveloped the entire village.

Splash, splash.

It's raining.

"Truly divine intervention!"

"Ouch, my leg is starting to hurt."

"Mother, I want to be a fairy when I grow up!"

"Rain, such heavy rain!"

"A good omen!"

The villagers rushed home, put on raincoats, took out paper umbrellas, and brought out pots, pans, and all the containers that could hold water.

pat pat pat.

Large raindrops pounded into the objects.

"Thank you, Immortal Master!"

"Immortal Master, you are our rebirth!"

Pei Si vanished from the spot, riding a crane away.

…………

The crane flew north.

Two people on the crane.

In truth, it was just one person.

Pei Si and Bai Guanxing.

Pei Si remained calm; the feeling of displaying one's abilities in front of others was indeed worth savoring.

Suddenly.

Several small black dots appeared ahead.

Pei Si narrowed his eyes, a sense of vigilance already rising in his heart!

"Halt!"

A shout came from above.

Pei Si glanced at it briefly.

The people in front of them were dressed in uniform police uniforms and stood on eagle demons.

"We are the Demon-Slaying Team of Anding County!"

"The Prefect has decreed that any demons passing through our Anding Prefecture must pay a toll!"

"The ones you two are riding must be crane demons."

"According to the rules, only after paying the border crossing fee and the prefectural government verifying that the demon is harmless can it be allowed to pass!"

The leader of the demon-catching team said sternly.

Their arrogance is truly outrageous.

Pei Si tucked his hands into his sleeves.

Classic, so classic.

After handing over the border crossing fee, you still have to go through the demon-catching team's inspection. Whether it's harmless or not is just a matter of their word.

"Get out," Pei Si said coldly.

"If you won't listen to reason, you'll have to suffer the consequences." The leader sneered and waved his hand.

"This person harbors treacherous intentions; capture both the human and the demon and imprison them!"

A group of people surrounded Pei Si in a circle.

Pei Si glanced around.

The strongest among them was the leader, who was at the first level of the True Qi Realm. Most of the others were at the second or third level of the Outer Qi Realm.

Crooked melons and cracked dates.

Five breaths later.

Pei Si killed an Outer Gang Realm martial artist.

Leader: "?"

The person died before I could see clearly.

Pei Si smiled and said, "I really want to see what kind of person the prefect is. Lead the way."

"Yes...yes...please come this way."

……

The An Ding Prefecture was quite luxurious.

In the hall.

"The Prefect's plan is truly ingenious, bringing peace to the land. With the arrival of this demon-catching team, we've gained a huge sum of money," the Registrar remarked, playing with a walnut.

"That's right, our subsidies have increased significantly." Si Cang Shu Zuo agreed, his round belly bobbing as he spoke.

The new prefect has an excellent reputation.

"My lords, is the Prefect in the mansion?" The leader of the demon-catching team asked in a low voice from outside the hall.

"Oh, it's Zhou Niu."

"I'm handling official business in the main hall, you may go now," the Registrar said politely.

…………

Main hall.

An elderly scholar with slightly graying temples was bent over his desk, handling official business.

"Zhou Niu, the Prefect of Bing Commandery, requests an audience."

"Enter."

Zhou Niu walked into the main hall.

Bing Hui raised her head, glanced at Zhou Niu without changing her expression, and said, "Zhou Niu, you should be catching demons at this time."

"Don't ask him. I'd like to have a chat with Prefect Bing."

A gentle breeze is blowing.

A figure stood silently beside Zhou Niu.

"Fellow Daoist, you have skillful methods. Zhou Niu, serve the tea to the guests." Bing Hui's expression remained calm and composed, showing no signs of panic.

Zhou Niu served tea, standing respectfully to one side.

"How should I address you, fellow Daoist?"

Pei Xingyan.

"Speak your mind."

"Your demon-hunting team has started robbing and pillaging my place."

"What compensation do you require, fellow Daoist?"

"A renowned sword of superior quality or above, a spiritual object of the five elements."

"Okay," Bing Hui readily agreed.

"Great!" Pei Si laughed.

Bing Hui glanced coldly at Zhou Niu, thinking, "You blind fool."

"There is one more thing," Pei Si suddenly said.

"Fellow Daoist, don't ask for such an exorbitant amount."

"No, no, the prefect has provided me with a list."

"I'll deal with any threatening demons and evil spirits in the county, including ghosts," Pei Si said with a smile.

"How many famous swords and five elemental spiritual items did you possess, fellow Daoist?"

"One handle, one piece."

"Double it!" Bing Hui said resolutely.

This isn't trouble coming your way; this Taoist priest is truly kind-hearted!

"Zhou Niu, take this warrant and ask the Daoist to select whatever he wishes from the storeroom." Bing Hui wrote down the warrant.

"Master Dao, please." Zhou Niu said with a forced smile.

As for the demon-hunting team members who died, no one cared.

…………

Warehouse.

All the high-end resources of the county are gathered here.

"Master Dao, this is the roster. Please take a look." Zhou Niu presented a roster.

Pei Si opened the register.

Inside this storeroom are seven fine-quality swords. All five elements of spiritual objects are present.

Pei Si walked and looked around.

On the shelf in front, there was a pile of spiritual items representing the five elements.

Unfortunately, there was no response.

No spirit emitted a faint light.

Pei Si chose a fireplace with a lion biting a sword.

Fire-elemental spirit objects, metal-elemental spirit objects.

"Bring me Chuiguang and Chenrong." Pei Si then picked up two more long swords.

Go out.

A civil official had been waiting for some time.

"I am Sibing Shuzuo, Master Dao. This is the list." Sibing Shuzuo took out a small book from his sleeve.

"Master Dao, this list details the realms and locations of demons and evil spirits."

"I shall take my leave."

Pei Si weighed the small book in his hand and unfolded it to take a look.

It was cleaned up in two days.
