He started as a shepherd and took on countless jobs.

Pei Si was not averse to it.

Firstly, it's normal to joke around with Senior Sister Mingyue after spending so much time together.

Secondly, Senior Sister Mingyue is not ugly.

Pei Si chuckled and patted Mingyue's arm, feigning a plea for forgiveness, "I brought it, I brought it, how could I forget Senior Sister?"

Upon hearing this, Mingyue smiled and loosened her grip, realizing she was just teasing her junior brother.

Pei Si took out two hairpins.

The hairpin is a plum blossom hairpin made of mutton fat jade, crafted from a single piece of white jade. The jade is translucent white, and a plum blossom is carved on it. This branch is for Senior Sister Qingfeng.

The other hairpin is a gilded butterfly and flower hairpin, with a peony with full, round petals carved on the head, and a pair of butterflies playing around the peony. This one is for Senior Sister Mingyue.

Pei Si handed over the gilded butterfly and flower hairpin, and said with a smile, "Senior Sister, this one is for you, and please pass the other plum blossom hairpin on to Senior Sister Qingfeng for me."

After handing the long sword and the rolled-up jade slip to Pei Si, Mingyue took the two hairpins and said, "Junior brother, you are very thoughtful. These hairpins suit my taste."

"Just give this plum blossom hairpin to Qingfeng yourself."

"You keep taking on missions to slay demons and monsters, you're probably trying to get promoted to a higher rank, aren't you?"

"Perfect timing! Senior Sister has information on two strange creatures and was just about to go with Qingfeng. Since you're back, why don't we go together?"

Mingyue toyed with the hairpin in her fingers, gazing at Pei Si.

"Senior sister, I'd better comply. Let's go."

Pei Si smiled.

…………

Canghong Mountain, the vast sky.

Qingfeng opened her peach blossom eyes wide, her fingertips caressing the plum blossom on the hairpin, a barely perceptible surprise flashing in her eyes.

Junior brother, you've put your heart into this.

Want to be granted a Dharma register? No problem.

Simply capture those two strange creatures and bring them to your junior brother, then let him kill them.

"We've arrived." Mingyue gazed at the cave in the mountains, then turned to look at Qingfeng and Pei Si.

Qingfeng blinked and whispered, "I'll go and capture him."

"Don't worry, Senior Sister. I recently mastered a powerful sword technique, and I'll test its power on this strange creature," Pei Si said calmly.

He was about to test the power of [Slaying the Light of Envy].

Moonlight streamed down.

"Then it's up to you, Junior Brother." Mingyue nodded and raised an eyebrow at Qingfeng, who understood.

The next moment, Pei Si's figure disappeared from the spot.

Qingfeng and Mingyue's pupils suddenly contracted.

Qingfeng: "Junior brother's aura is so hard to detect."

Mingyue: "Junior Brother's methods are truly delightful."

Cave dwelling.

On the stone platform, a figure sat cross-legged.

He was dressed in a plain white robe, with a scarlet headscarf as red as congealed blood tied around his head. He was seventeen feet tall, and a long halberd gleaming with a ghostly light was stuck in his hand.

This strange creature is called Gui!

Gui's face was hidden under a red headscarf, his features obscured, with only moonlight shining on his legs.

From Pei Si's perspective, Gui in front of him was unaware of his presence, and Pei Si's gaze fell on him, revealing a hideous and terrifying crack on his enormous body.

Pei Si slashed at the crack!

Slay the Dharma of Envy!

An attack from Pei Si has arrived.

The next moment, Gui howled and roared in pain as his enormous body was severed in two.

Dismember, suppress!

This scene was witnessed by Qingfeng and Mingyue outside the cave.

A hint of surprise flashed in Qingfeng's eyes. "Junior Brother's swordsmanship is interesting."

Mingyue reacted similarly: "Directly dismembering the essence of the strange creature? I wonder where Junior Brother learned this sword technique?"

Qingfeng: "A gifted individual."

Gui's aura weakened, and his two halves of his body slumped to the ground, trying to reunite and revive so he could pick up his halberd again and fight the enemy.

He doesn't understand.

Where is the enemy? Where did this inexplicable slash come from? And why was it able to dismember his very essence?

Pei Si appeared and summoned two paper figures of swordsmen by making a hand seal.

Using two knives, chop the jade into minced meat.

[Promotion Requirements: Increased materials required for Paper Crafter (Blue) advancement; Paper crafting must kill/repel three monsters! (2/3)]

Pei Si sheathed his sword.

To be honest, this [Slaying Light] skill is a bit overpowered, with a very strong mechanism.

Li Shiwei, the King of Shu, was a remarkable figure.

"Senior sister, where is the next monster?" Pei Si grinned, revealing a set of big white teeth.

Mingyue smiled slightly, "What a little killer."

…………

After a while.

At the foot of Canghong Mountain, there was a melon field, but no melon farmers were in sight.

Because an ancient sage king perished at Canghong Mountain during his travels across the world, the immortal foundation he built, the "Wood Virtue" foundation, merged into Canghong Mountain, causing the mountain to be full of life all year round.

Inadvertently insert willows and willows.

Ironically, this is why demons, evil spirits, and monsters love to congregate here.

Mingyue held a talisman in her hand and said, "This melon field has nurtured a silver-masked melon spirit that loves to eat people and cultivates by feeding on human souls. I will make it manifest."

"go!"

The yellowed talismans shot into the melon field like arrows.

In an instant, a round, silvery monster appeared.

Upon seeing the three, the silver-masked melon spirit knew it was no match for them and immediately turned to flee, intending to find a powerful backer.

The next second, a little girl in a pinkish-purple taekwondo uniform stood in front of him and kicked him back into the melon patch.

"Junior brother," Qingfeng called softly.

Pei Si's figure disappeared, and in his eyes, a hideous crack appeared on the silver-masked melon spirit's body.

cut!

Pei Si swung his sword and cut him in two.

"Please spare my life, Daoist Master! With the market poised for a boom, you Daoists must be looking to boost your reputation. I know a way to do this, and I'm sure it will greatly increase your merits!"

The silver-masked melon spirit did not hesitate, fearing that the other side would not give him a chance to speak.

Given the current situation, it's unlikely I'll survive!

Why is it that he's the only one who dies, while those who have powerful backers behind him can rest easy?

Injustice! Injustice!

Damn you, God, you're unfair!

The silver-masked melon spirit cried out inwardly.

His backer was a hungry ghost with hundreds of ghost followers!

After I joined him, I didn't get any benefits. Instead, I had to meet the quotas set by my patron every month.

They used to at least have meat to eat, but now all they have left is bran and thin gruel.

A venomous glint flashed in the silver-masked melon spirit's eyes. "If you three are so capable, then go and have a go at my backer!"

Upon hearing this...

Pei Si smiled, gazing meaningfully at the silver-masked melon spirit.

This is the first time I've seen something like this.

If my fellow Daoist dies, so shall I?

"Address." Pei Si placed his hands on the hilt of the knife, the tip of which plunged into the melon patch.

"Sleeping Ox Hill, Hungry Ghost Cave!"

[Promotion Requirements: Increased materials required for Paper Crafter (Blue) advancement; Paper crafting must kill/repel three monsters! (3/3)]

…………

"The leader is a 'ghost,' so first send officers and soldiers to set up a blockade outside the Hungry Ghost Cave. Not a single one can escape." Mingyue's expression was serious. If any of the ghosts here were to escape, it would cause a disaster down the mountain.

"Leave the leader to me," Qingfeng said casually, then turned to Pei Si and said, "Junior Brother, the officers and soldiers of the Registered Students are also a method. Why not take this opportunity to train your officers and soldiers?"

Pei Si nodded.

Training troops?

Let Senior Sister Qingfeng see my Five Offices Combined Formation.

A stream of pure energy manifested, and the three men's officers and soldiers set up layers of blockade within a radius of three hundred meters of the Hungry Ghost Cave.
