He started as a shepherd and took on countless jobs.

Bai Guanxing pondered.

It's kind of darkly humorous, actually.

The Tai Xuan Fu Dao Palace is known as the Moon Worship Cult, but are there any cultivators practicing the Tai Dao within this palace?

and many more.

Suddenly.

A string in Bai Guanxing's mind was touched.

The number of people worshipping the moon together in the Great Yan Dynasty must have exceeded ten thousand, which just meets the promotion requirements for shepherds and paper craftsmen!

[Promotion Requirements: Under the spotlight, steal a priceless treasure and return it to its original location without anyone noticing!]

[Promotion Requirements: Create a bizarre and treacherous prison in front of at least millions of witnesses!]

It seems that both of these promotion requirements can be met at once!

All you need to do is release a ghost during the Moon Worship Ceremony, and then bind it with paper offerings to complete the promotion.

Then use the "Take Advantage" skill to conveniently take away this lunar disk!

Bai Guanxing asked with a smile, "How many years until the next Moon Worship Ceremony?"

Ni Yi: "You're in luck. A grand moon-worshiping ceremony will be held this winter."

Bai Guanxing: "Wow, I never thought I'd be so lucky."

Ni Yi made a hand seal, locking the five elemental spirits back into their respective portals.

"It's about time, let's go," Ni Yi said with a smile.

Bai Guanxing nodded naturally.

"Elder, your knowledge is profound, I have learned a great deal." Bai Guanxing bowed with his hands clasped.

"Hehe, you've got a sweet tongue. If you encounter any problems in the future, you can come to me." Ni Yi smiled, then suddenly remembered something and continued, "What other work do you do in the palace?"

Bai Guanxing shook his head and said, "Since arriving at the palace, my master has instructed me to focus on cultivation and have no worldly affairs to attend to. Elder, do you have any suitable tasks for me to take on?"

Ni Yi smiled slightly.

The fragrance reveals the elegant meaning.

Bai Guanxing is a smart man.

"As it happens, there is a vacancy in my palace treasury: to organize the records and manage the Kun swarm."

"This position originally belonged to Wang Tiangeng of Luanche Peak, but he went to the Xia King Secret Realm. Besides, he had long intended to leave his post. If you are interested, you can take over this position for now."

A glint of light flashed in Bai Guanxing's eyes, and he couldn't help but exclaim inwardly, "Heaven is helping me!"

"This position will allow him to better understand the many rare treasures in the storehouse."

"It will be much easier to start the 'Take Advantage of the Opportunity' campaign then."

Bai Guanxing nodded without hesitation and said, "To be honest, Elder, I have wanted to be a proofreader since I was a child. Today, I would like to thank you for making my dream come true."

"Hahaha, with your current cultivation level, becoming a scribe in a secular dynasty would be a piece of cake." Ni Yi laughed heartily.

Bai Guanxing shook his head and said, "That's no fun. I just want to stay by Elder Niyi's side and learn some knowledge."

"Alright, take this token for now. You must come here for an hour and a half every day." Ni Yi tossed over a rhinoceros horn token.

Bai Guanxing pointed to the rhinoceros horn token. The rhinoceros horn was warm and smooth; if it were placed at the foot of the mountain, it would be worth at least two or three strings of cash for incense offerings.

"Thank you, Elder Niyi. This disciple will go and report back to my master." Bai Guanxing bowed and drifted away.

…………

Bai Guanxing put the cicada into his sleeve and, using the special properties of the spirit-binding paper doll, transferred the cicada to Pei Si's sleeve.

Pei Si had an extra item in his sleeve.

Pei Si first summoned Hu Meier, then said to Qingfeng and Mingyue, "Senior sisters, please protect me."

Mingyue: "You intend to break through to a higher realm here?"

"No." Pei Si shook his head and secretly transmitted his voice, "Junior brother is lucky. In the secret realm just now, in addition to obtaining a step-by-step technique, he also found a water-elemental spiritual object that is connected to my immortal foundation."

"Junior Brother is so lucky!" Mingyue was overjoyed, genuinely happy for Pei Si.

Qingfeng: "Junior brother, you can rest assured to connect with the spiritual creatures."

As soon as she finished speaking, Mingyue held a stack of talismans in her hand and threw them into the sky. In an instant, a talisman array covered the boat.

The boats disappeared.

Upon seeing this.

Pei Si flicked his sleeve, and a cicada landed on the back of his hand. Pei Si grabbed the cicada and instantly refined it.

Within the Dantian.

On the Immortal Foundation of Zhuozhiyu, the phantom of a cicada floats.

Refining it and placing it on the immortal foundation is only the first step.

Pei Si activated the Connection to Fate Foundation technique, and a mysterious aura lingered around Han Chan, seemingly creating a peculiar reaction with her immortal foundation, [Zhuozhiyu].

A glint of light flashed in Pei Si's eyes. That's exactly right.

His aura gradually became ethereal, as if it had blended into the environment, making it impossible to find.

Until his presence completely disappeared from the world.

The cicada and [Zhuozhiyu] have successfully linked up.

Pei Si squinted his eyes slightly.

The gentle breeze and the bright moon witnessed this scene.

Pei Si's aura completely dissipated from the spot, and even though Mingyue used her divine sense to perceive him, she still couldn't find him.

"Qingfeng, could you possibly find Junior Brother?" Mingyue looked at Qingfeng.

Qingfeng is very sensitive to scents, a trait he has possessed since childhood.

A hint of doubt flashed in Qingfeng's eyes. After carefully sensing for a while, she said softly, "Yes, he has been in the same place the whole time."

It must be a clever use of his connection with spirits to conceal his own aura.

However, this natal spirit item is too perfectly suited to my junior brother.

Mingyue nodded.

Then this spiritual object is a good find. Junior Brother is always getting into trouble, but with this spiritual object, he can conceal his aura, giving him an extra means of survival.

Pei Si's figure slowly appeared.

"It's done," Pei Si said with a grin.

"Congratulations!" Mingyue smiled and hugged Pei Si.

Qingfeng blinked his peach blossom eyes and said softly, "Junior Brother, your Dao fortune is prosperous."

Jiang Jiedu was right!

Pei Si thought to himself.

This cicada is essentially an enhanced version of a jade burial suit.

The jade burial suit allows him to avoid the gaze of evil spirits, while activating the cicada in winter allows him to conceal his aura and isolate himself from deductions.

It is truly a life-saving treasure.

If you find some mountains and marshes to hide in, and start urging the cicadas to sing, wouldn't you be able to survive until the end of time?

As Pei Si urged the cicadas to start, at the same time, in the far north of Dongcang...

A dark figure, as large as a vat, suddenly stopped in place, like a lost desert traveler, wandering aimlessly in circles.

A human-like look of confusion appeared on the dark figure's face. He could feel the call of the food descendants in the distance. Although he had been severely injured by a seeker of the Dharma, he would recover soon as long as he consumed humans and animals.

After a while.

The confusion on Half-Cylinder's face disappeared, and he sensed the call again.

"Practicing martial arts... heh... the higher you cultivate, the more fragrant your flesh and blood will become." Half-bottle stammered as he spoke, a few drops of saliva dribbling down from the corner of his mouth.

……

Pei Si, Qingfeng, and Mingyue sat together, sharing their knowledge with each other.

As for Hu Meier, Pei Si left her to her own devices. The Xia King's Secret Realm was so vast, with countless opportunities, that there was no need for her to follow him.

Pei Si gave Hu Mei a message talisman.

He may have a kind heart, but he is by no means a saint.

Hu Meier is a Foundation Establishment demon cultivator, who has value and can also refine pills.

If he needs to refine some pills that are inconvenient to do in the future, he can do it through Hu Meier.

Given Hu Meier's status, she certainly wouldn't have any way to participate in the Xia King's Secret Realm.

She lived alone with Hu Long'er on Canghong Mountain, unlike Wang Shulang who had a large and wealthy family.

Therefore, in order to enter the Xia King's Secret Realm, she plotted against Pei Si, hoping to make him feel guilty so that he could create some opportunities for Hu Long'er.

Unexpectedly, Pei Si remained unmoved, allowing Hu Meier to make a mistake.

Pei Si naturally wouldn't bring Hu Mei in for nothing.

Therefore, the two agreed on three rules.

If Hu Meier inherits any magical techniques or combat skills, she must pass them on to Pei Si without reservation.

If it's a resource, the two of them will split it 50/50.

If you encounter any problems that you cannot solve while seeking opportunities, you can ask Pei Si for help.

As for helping, there are conditions.

Every time Pei Si helped, Hu Meier would refine pills for him three times for free.

Hu Meier agreed to all of the above conditions and made a solemn oath to the Daoist court.

If you disobey, you will be struck by lightning.

Pei Si quickly grasped the Sword in the Eyes technique that Qingfeng had mastered.

In less than half an hour, the intricate pattern of a vertical sword appeared in Pei Si's eyes.

Mingyue was completely confused.

Unfortunately, she simply didn't have any natural talent in swordsmanship.

Perhaps that's how it is.

When God closes a window, He will surely open a door.

However, Mingyue quickly grasped the Yu King Steps taught by Pei Si.

She tried to follow the steps of King Yu while pondering the questions on the talisman.

What was originally a somewhat obscure and difficult part suddenly became clear.

The bright moon brings joy to their brows.

"Junior brother, I'll cover your midnight snacks for fifteen days after we return to the mountain, no, I'll cover them for a month."

Pei Si smiled.

Even the gentle breeze seemed to sparkle in her eyes.

She followed the steps of King Yu, and the power of her swordsmanship seemed to have increased.

Qingfeng took the initiative to steer the boat.

The Xia King's Secret Realm is extremely vast.

Sea creatures are not found everywhere.

Pei Si took out the book "Jade Palace Radiant Precious Record" and opened it.

Read a book a hundred times, and its meaning will become clear.

The talismans recorded in the "Jade Palace Radiant Treasure Record" are relatively simple.

Most of them are protective talismans.

"The judge is Pei Si, and his official position is [Talisman Warrior]."

"Talisman Mastery +1, Proficiency 1/100".

Inside the bronze mirror of the Four Gods and Twelve Zodiac Animals, next to the gray [Beast Tamer], the [Talisman Master] profession slowly appeared.

Pei Si attempted to arrange and combine these entry-level professions.

Two slots appear in the middle of the bronze mirror.

Pei Si tried them one by one until he placed the [War General] in the card slot, when suddenly something unexpected happened.

The [Talisman Warrior] vibrated slowly, as if resonating with the [War General], their brilliance complementing each other.

Pei Si had a thought and placed the [Talisman Master] into the card slot.

"【War Master】+【Talisman Master】=【War Talisman Master】"

Note: After merging and upgrading to a new profession, the original profession will not disappear and can continue to advance in rank, mastering various arts!

Note: When integrating a new profession, there are rank requirements for the prerequisite profession!

"Only War General (Blue) and Rune Master (Blue) can meet the requirements!"

War Talisman Commander!

This profession is unlike a traditional one like the "Duan Gong" (Duan Gong). Pei Si had no idea what the "Zhan Fu Shuai" (Zhan Fu Shuai) profession was.

A war commander is similar to a military strategist, who cultivates the art of defeating ten thousand men, trains soldiers, arranges troops, and maximizes the combat power of his soldiers.

As the name suggests, a talisman master cultivates the art of talismans. Pei Si could even foresee that as talisman masters advance in rank, the only skills they could master would be enhanced understanding of talismans, increased speed of talisman drawing, and even the emergence of a Heavenly Talisman. Pei Si would not be surprised if that happened.

Could the [Battle Talisman Commander] be the one who commands the talisman soldiers?

Lines of small ink-wash characters appeared.

Could the [Battle Talisman Commander] be the one who commands the talisman soldiers?

Lines of small ink-wash characters appeared.

[Judge: Pei Si]

【Position: Talisman Warrior (None, 1/100)】

[Taoist Arts: None]

[Job Evaluation: The path of talismanic arts is a righteous method of the Xuanmen (mystical sects). Yellow paper serves as the medium, cinnabar as the guide, and the brushstrokes are like dragons and snakes, determining the fate of heaven and earth! It can summon gods to descend to the altar, subdue ghosts and appease spirits, dispel evil and purify impurities, and is invariably successful.]

[Talisman Master (White)] can obtain the Taoist art [Zhengyang Lingyun].

"【Pure Yang Spiritual Charm】: When the mind is clear, the talisman is correct. The appraiser can hold the talisman brush steadily, without wavering in mind, and the speed of drawing talismans increases by 70%. The completed talisman is accompanied by a wisp of pure Yang spiritual charm, and the power of the talisman is not easily dissipated. It has an extra deterrent power against evil spirits."

[Promotion Requirements: Successfully draw 100 valid talismans.]

Pei Si: "Senior Sister Mingyue, give me a stack of talismans!"

Mingyue responded with an "oh," knowing that Pei Si was interested in talismans, and didn't say anything more.

She had all kinds of talismans, and they were all high-quality talismans that were quite valuable.

As the saying goes, there are four major hurdles in spiritual practice: wealth, companions, Dharma, and environment are all indispensable.

Purchasing these superior talisman papers alone would cost a fortune, but in the Celestial Master Cave, Mingyue had an unlimited supply of such talisman papers.

Everyone knows Mingyue's talent in talismans.

If we were to rank the assets of the three disciples in the sect now, Mingyue would undoubtedly be number one.

Besides using her own talismans and helping her master with talisman making, she also distributed them in Qingcheng Mountain.

There's a saying circulating in Qingcheng Mountain: "When buying talismans, look for the Zhanjiao lineage."

It's also interesting to say.

Before Mingyue's talismans appeared out of nowhere, the cultivators of Shangqing Palace were actually the most skilled in making talismans.

The talismans from Shangqing Palace are also very popular in Qingcheng Mountain.

After the Bright Moon Talisman suddenly appeared, wouldn't it cut off people's source of wealth?

The talisman-making cultivators of Shangqing Palace were naturally furious and wanted to go to Mingyue's door to demand an explanation, but when they thought of Huang Ting standing behind Mingyue, they chickened out.

But there have always been rumors circulating in the mountains.

When Mingyue was building her foundation, she encountered trouble from Wu Chongyuan. It is suspected that a cultivator from Shangqing Palace leaked information about Mingyue's secluded cultivation location.

But this was just a baseless rumor, and there was no way to investigate it.

There are so many talisman cultivators in Shangqing Palace, it's impossible to investigate them all one by one.

Huang Ting had been keeping this matter in mind.

Mingyue handed two large stacks of high-quality talisman paper to Pei Si, thoughtfully including a talisman brush and cinnabar as a bonus.

"Junior brother, these talismans of mine are very precious, so you'd better use them sparingly," Mingyue said jokingly.

Pei Si winked at Mingyue, shrugged, and spread his hands, saying, "Senior Sister, how about we make a bet?"

Mingyue became interested and looked at Pei Si: "You have the most clever ideas, tell me about them."

"How about I bet I'll succeed on my first try?" Pei Si grinned.

"Senior Sister Qingfeng, wanna place a bet?"

Qingfeng blinked her peach blossom eyes, looked at the bright moon, and said, "Senior Sister, what do you think?"

Mingyue: "Then I'll bet you can't draw it, and the wager will be a top-quality talisman brush, how about it?"

"If you finish drawing it, I will give you a superior talisman brush; if you fail, I will give you one."

"Qingfeng, which way are you getting off?"
