He started as a shepherd and took on countless jobs.

Five minutes later.

Fifteen minutes later, the honey badger collapsed to the ground.

The five dogs devoured the honey badger's flesh and blood, growing ever stronger.

The little green creature had emerald green eyes and a tall, slender, and imposing figure. Its four claws were covered in green rock armor, and it was surrounded by clouds and pine breezes.

Little Red was fierce and burly, her whole body was crimson, and sparks flew from the tips of her ears.

Little Yellow was thick and heavy, with skin, flesh, and bones as solid as rock strata.

Little White is pure white, and its claws and teeth have transformed into golden and jade-like blades.

Xiao Hei was entirely black, surrounded by cold mist and eerie winds...

The character "岳" (Yue) appeared in the center of the foreheads of all five dogs.

"It has evolved..." Pei Si murmured to himself.

This unnamed cultivator from the Purple Mansion realm must have some knowledge of beast taming.

"Five colors, five elements, five sacred mountains."

"Let's just call them the Five Sacred Mountains Dogs," Pei Si thought to himself.

Pei Si took a step forward, and the scene before him instantly changed dramatically.

As far as the eye can see, all that can be seen is fog.

Pei Si made a hand seal, manipulating the paper figure forward, and no danger occurred.

Pei Si followed closely behind the paper figure and saw a huge rock with three large characters written in red ink on it.

Fenggang Village.

Fenggang Village?

Pei Si squinted his eyes slightly.

Martial arts and Qi are forbidden.

"It's tough," Pei Si murmured, manipulating the paper figure to explore the path.

The moment I stepped into the village, some mysterious change began.

The fog seems to be getting thicker.

Squeak.

A door somewhere was pushed open.

A pair of red eyes peered through the mist, seemingly sizing up Pei Si from afar.

"Playing tricks." Pei Si snorted coldly and manipulated the paper figure to scout the way.

The paper figure walked to the front of the house.

Pei Si saw clearly that a hunched humanoid creature with red fur was standing in front of the door, staring straight at the paper figure.

His later years are unknown.

The red-haired monster moved. He slowly raised his arm, his palm suddenly swelled up, and he slammed it down, killing the paper figure.

"The Five Sacred Mountains Dogs," Pei Si called softly.

"Awooooo!"

Five dogs appeared out of thin air and, following Pei Si's orders, attacked the red-haired monster.

Three minutes later, the red-haired monster collapsed, and the red light in its eyes went out.

His hunched body shrank continuously until it finally turned into a small, red stone.

Pei Si picked up the red stone and sensed a peculiar energy that seemed to nourish his soul.

Pei Si walked into the room. The furnishings were simple, but the room was covered in dust, indicating that it hadn't been cleaned in a long time.

Pei Si approached the desk, where a calligraphy brush and paper were laid out.

The handwriting on the paper was messy, but you could still vaguely make out what it said.

"My name is Zeng Wen, and I am a villager from Fenggang Village."

"I think I realized something, and decided to start recording."

"A thick fog suddenly descended upon the village, enveloping the entire village and lingering for a long time."

"I do not understand."

"I'm just a failed scholar who can read and write, why are you treating me like this?"

"With this thick fog, the villagers can't even leave the village."

"Fortunately, everyone has a habit of storing food, and there are two wells in the village, which can support everyone for a long time."

"But gradually, some villagers began to experience strange changes. At first, they only felt itchy, but slowly red hair started to grow on their bodies."

"A red-haired monster has appeared in the village."

"Nobody knows what to do. The thick fog has blocked everyone out, which means that no doctors from the outside world will be able to get in."

"The villagers lived in constant fear, and everyone thought it was because of the thick fog."

"Some villagers say that someone deliberately created this thick fog to turn us all into monsters."

"Some people say it was made by Huang Hao's family in the north of the village, who often brews medicine. Huang Hao's family has some folk remedies for treating illnesses, and people in the village go to his family to brew medicine for any minor illnesses or ailments."

"Every medicine has some degree of toxicity. They say that the vapor from Huang Hao's medicine brewing process is all toxins, which will accumulate into toxic mist over time."

"The villagers gathered together and went to Huang Hao's house to demand an explanation."

"Actually, we weren't going to demand an explanation; we just wanted to take this opportunity to rob Huang Hao's family of all their grain."

"In the chaos, Huang Hao and his wife died tragically, leaving behind only their daughter, who was just beginning to blossom into womanhood."

The next day, Huang Jin'er hanged herself at her doorstep, and a piece of paper was found weighed down by a stone under the door lintel.

"There were words written in blood on the paper."

"Those who bully her family in Fenggang Village, may they suffer a terrible death for generations to come!"

"I...I'm so itchy..."

"Strange, why is there a tuft of red hair growing on the back of my hand?"

"My name is Zeng Wen, and I'm going to die."

The last words flew about, like scribbles.

Pei Si stood in front of the desk, his face dark and unreadable.

If there were truly a problem with this fog, then all the villagers of Fenggang Village would probably have already turned into these red-haired monsters.

This kind of fog is impossible to prevent; it will always seep in through the cracks in doors and windows.

【Eat Rainbow Qi】!

Although Pei Si could not activate the Immortal Foundation, he could not use the techniques of a Qi cultivator.

But the art of "Gathering Rainbow Qi" is the Daoist skill he possesses!

Wisps of mist seeped into Pei Si's body with his breath, transforming into energy to nourish his life force.

The fog had no effect on him.

Pei Si narrowed his eyes slightly. The opportunity in Fenggang Village was related to the soul.

It is said that the red stones that the dead turn into can nourish the soul.

The Great Master of the Purple Mansion is indeed skilled.

Pei Si pushed open the door and went out, with the Five Sacred Mountains dogs clearing the way.

"Awooooo!"

The Five Sacred Mountains roared excitedly as they cleared the way.

"Squeak, squeak."

The sudden barking of dogs in the quiet village naturally caught the attention of the red-haired villagers.

As the doors opened, pairs of red eyes peered through the mist, looking towards Pei Si from all directions.

Pei Si stretched and whistled.

One hour.

Pei Si fought his way from west to east, and from south to north.

The last house in the north of the village.

Door lintel.

Pei Si looked up; above him hung a section of rope.

"Tsk, this rope hanging here has quite a romantic feel to it," Pei Si said, squinting slightly.

Clever touch.

Pei Si looked into the courtyard again, where countless white bones were piled up.

Pei Si released ten paper figures and walked into the courtyard.

pat!

Straw ropes were lowered down, tied around the necks of ten paper figures, and they were hoisted up.

In the blink of an eye, the paper figure died.

When the body dies, the Dao vanishes.

"Strange and fierce."

Pei Si sighed.

The Five Sacred Mountains Dogs bared their teeth and crouched in front of Pei Si, but did not bark wildly; they simply stared intently ahead.

This straw rope looks like a trick.

Pei Si summoned the red lantern.

Red Lantern: "Master, this is the Ghost Realm."

Red light alert.

"Look at that straw rope."

As soon as he finished speaking, the straw ropes scattered everywhere were gathered up, returned to their original state, and coiled up on the door frame again.

"It's a treacherous device," Red Lantern nodded.

"Can you control her?" Pei Si asked coldly.

Hongdeng said softly, "Okay."

"I need help from young actresses."

Pei Si nodded and summoned the young actress.

The young actress changed her outfit today.

She wore her hair in a high ponytail with arched eyebrows and upturned eyes, her eyebrows drawn like swords, her eyes were outlined as phoenix eyes, and she wore light red eyeshadow.

He wore a helmet with a red pom-pom hanging on his forehead, adorned with two tall feathers. He was dressed in a colorful female armor embroidered with two phoenixes, and four flags were stuck behind him.

This is the costume of a female warrior.

"Red light, take action," the actress said coldly.

Red lanterns hung high, and the red lanterns were the first to enter the courtyard.

pat!

The straw rope dangled down, but stopped at the veil, seemingly stuck in some kind of stalemate.

The eerie realm of the red light, where a struggle begins with the straw rope.

"A three-foot-long, cold blade drinks in the souls of the wronged; a surge of murderous intent shatters the gates of the wealthy!"

The female lead, sword in hand, bursts into the courtyard.

boom!

The door shattered with a crash!

A figure walked out of the door.

No, it wasn't just one figure, it was three figures intertwined together.

A tiger with three heads, six arms, and a tiger's body.

Pei Si's pupils contracted, and he thought to himself, "There really is such a strange thing."

The head in the very center should be Huang Hao's. His body is hunched over, and his facial features are not clearly visible. Several mouths are stacked on his chin, with long tongues sticking out, as if they are whispering.

To Huang Hao's left, a phantom was clinging tightly to his body, like soft human skin, its entire face covered with countless tiny mouths, constantly spewing out white mist.

To Huang Hao's right was a slender and delicate woman with thick black hair obscuring her face and a deep, bone-revealing ligature mark on her neck.

Three men can make a tiger!

This kind of trickery is called the Ballad of the Three Husbands!

Unexpectedly, I found Sanfu Ballad here!

Pei Si narrowed his eyes, pressing his palm against Xi Yue.

"Five Sacred Mountains Dogs, go!"

At a command, the five hunting dogs charged towards Sanfuyao without hesitation, restraining the young actress.

The young actresses are getting stronger and stronger.

Sanfu Yao spoke up: "You will all die!"

Pei Si nodded.

He can withstand psychological attacks.

The young actress was unaffected, slicing off half of her body with a single sword stroke.

Sanfu Yao's expression froze.

The person before them was different from the cultivator who had barged in earlier.

At that time, he only needed to open his mouth, and the monks would be struck by rumors, living in constant fear, and eventually inhaling the mist and turning into red hair.

The family of three was condemned by everyone. After their deaths, their resentment lingered and turned into evil spirits. Over time, they grew into monsters and even absorbed the white mist into their own puzzle pieces.

What are the Five Sacred Mountains Dogs anyway? They can be killed at will and used as fertilizer.

This person carries two powerful demons with him; who exactly is he?

The woman in the wedding dress had already gripped the eerie rope in her hand, and Huang Hao could clearly feel that his control over the rope was gradually weakening.

The woman in the wedding dress is trying to control his magical artifact.

"What about the cultivator?" Sanfuyao's pupils suddenly contracted, and a great terror swept over him!

Pei Si entered the subspace and swung his sword.

Dismember!

Click!

The four-legged tiger's body split open from the middle.

"Master, it's done," Hongdeng said softly.

She flicked the rope in her hand, looped it around Sanfuyao's neck, and pulled him up sharply.

The female lead slashed Duan Sanfu's body with a single sword stroke.

Sanfu Yao has been killed.

Pei Si silently activated the Devouring Spirit Pure Primordial Talisman, refining the remnant soul of Sanfuyao and collecting the original fragments of Sanfuyao.

The white fog still hadn't dissipated.

Pei Si squinted slightly.

【Eat Rainbow Qi】!

Pei Si inhaled the white mist into his body like a whale drinking, intending to force the source of the mist monster to reveal itself.

Fifteen minutes later, the fog in Fenggang Village thinned to about 70%.

A cloud of white mist drifted over.

Fog eerie!

"Hua Dan (a type of female role in Peking Opera)," Pei Si called softly.

"Understood." With a thought, the female lead summoned a pavilion that enveloped the misty ghost.

Repression!

Ten minutes later, white mist rose outside the embroidered tower.

The actress successfully portrayed the mysterious mistress.

A blue light suddenly appeared before their eyes, and a treasure chest slowly rotated.

Pei Si opened the treasure chest.

Inside the treasure chest was a red stone, just like the one that the red-haired monster turned into after its death, only of much higher quality.

Pei Si estimated that if he used all of these red stones, it would be enough to connect the fourth spirit-possessed paper figure. As expected of the secret realm of the Purple Mansion cultivators, there were indeed many good things.

"Fellow Daoist, I think we are destined to meet!" Suddenly, a female voice rang out.

Pei Si turned his head to look.

A petite female priest walked slowly toward him.

"I am Han Yanzi from the Tai Xuan Fu Dao Palace."

"Want to be friends?"

Han Yanzi smiled and glanced at the treasure chest in Pei Si's hand.

Pei Si's lips curled up as he put away the treasure chest, gathered his sleeves, and smiled:

"What a coincidence! I am Xuanjian from Qingcheng Mountain."

Han Yanzi's smile froze.

Qingcheng Mountain?

As long as they are not from the lineage of the Celestial Master Cave Dragon Slayer, it's all negotiable.

"May I ask which lineage of Qingcheng Mountain you belong to, fellow Daoist?"

"I would like to barter with you, fellow Daoist," Han Yanzi continued.

"Barter? What will you use to exchange, fellow Daoist?" Pei Si asked with a smile.

"The opportunity to pursue me."

"How about this condition?" Han Yanzi smiled gently.

She was quite confident in her appearance. In the palace, she was a disciple of the palace master, a person of great status, and had many suitors.

In Han Yan's eyes, this opportunity was already an immense blessing for Pei Si.

Pei Si: "..."

"What is your relationship with Han Chuanzi?"

"My senior brother's reputation has spread so far." Han Yan proudly raised her chin.

Pei Si squinted at Han Yan.

He didn't know if the person was genuinely stupid or just pretending.

"We are even more destined to meet. I am Xuanjian from the Tianshi Cave of Qingcheng Mountain, a lineage that slays dragons, and Mingyue is my senior sister."

"Fellow Daoist, I have been so enthusiastic, yet you insist on leaving. What is the meaning of this?"

When Pei Si uttered the words "slay the dragon," Han Yan turned and left without lingering.

I bumped into my nemesis on the way out!

pat.

Han Yan was completely bewildered when a straw rope suddenly dangled in front of her.

next moment.

"Pfft! Huff... Let me go!" Han Yan desperately grabbed the straw rope that was gradually tightening and lifting with both hands, her legs kicking wildly.

"I... my master is the current Palace Master! He is also the Grand Preceptor of the Great Yan Kingdom! You dare to kill me!"

Pei Si stood by, sleeves tucked in his sleeves, watching.

This is a good opportunity to send you to reunite with Wu Chongyuan.

Glug glug, bright red.

The swallow's head slowly floated into the air and transformed into a red lantern.

Pei Si, as usual, touched the corpse.

There are no spiritual beings connected to the Immortal Foundation.

Inside the Qiankun bag was a jade scroll entitled "Jade Palace Condensed Light Treasure Record".

Pei Si weighed the jade slip in his hand. He could show this precious talisman to his senior sister, and if it was suitable, he would also try refining it himself.

Adding a new profession might unlock a new fusion profession.

Pei Si subdued the evil spirits and refined the rampant demons.

Han Yan transformed into one of his soldiers and was thrown into the altar.

The Five Sacred Mountains Dogs stood guard at Pei Si's feet.

"Judge Pei Si, whose job title is [Beast Tamer]."

"Beastmaster proficiency +1, proficiency 1/100".

Two lines of small ink-wash characters flashed by.

A new profession!

Upon seeing this, Pei Si was overjoyed. At the same time, the Myriad Trades Compendium in his sea of ​​consciousness displayed small characters, with the words "Beast Tamer" appearing next to "War General".

[Judge: Pei Si]

【Job Title: Beast Tamer (None, 1/100)】
