    “Perhaps. It depends on whether the Imperial Preceptor will give them time.


    Late at night at Little Lotus Seed Mountain, in thepletely copsed ruins of the Mountain God Temple, a bonfire was burning.<div>


    After leaving the Daoist temple, Shen Ping was rxed and free. In fact, he had nned to find an excuse to go out after returning this time. Then, he would go to Mount Futu to inquire about the situation and see if he could save Xi Lengyan.


    He opened the entire copy of the “Great Yin Talisman Scripture”. As the mes danced, the contents on it were reflected.


    Other than the Soul Fixation Spell, the Heavenly Lightning Spell, the Divine Movement Spell, and so on, the profound spells recorded in it were the Fire Exorcism Spell, the Wind and Fire Eight Gates Spell, and a powerful spell simr to divine power, the Universe Five Elements Spell.


    With his strength, he could easily see the principles behind the operation of these spells. They were basically condensed into physical objects with vitality and magic power and attached to spell formations to increase their power.


    For example, the Universe Five Elements Spell was to condense five powerful talisman swords of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth. It used formations to gather together to form a huge power.


    When this spell was used, it could kill ghosts with 500 years of cultivation.


    Just as Shen Ping was watching with relish, a gray fox jumped out from not far from the bonfire. It stood up and bowed to Shen Ping.


    Shen Ping nced at it and retracted his gaze. Without the mountain god guarding Little Lotus Seed Mountain, it was very easy to give birth to Yin ghosts and demons. This fox already had some intelligence, but it was still a little short of bing a demon.


    Seeing that Shen Ping did not chase it away, the fox mustered its courage and approached. It sat by the bonfire to warm itself. The corners of its eyes rolled as it looked at the thing on the spell.


    This little fellow was here to learn.


    Shen Ping was not afraid that it would secretly learn it. Dharma incantations were a rather profound method. If this fox could really learn it, it would be considered an opportunity for it.<div>


    The fire crackled and burned. Just as it was about to go out, the little fox quickly took the dry materials and let them continue burning.


    At dawn, Shen Ping put away the spell scroll, stretched, and stood up to leave.


    The little fox looked at his back and bowed silently.


    A few monthster, he traveled all the way south. He came to the bank of the Yunjiang River. This river was wide and mighty. It was the most river in Great Zhao. There were merchant ships on the water all year round. There were also many Dragon King temples and buildings on both sides of the river, praying for ram and blessings. There was even an endless stream of people praying for children. It was very lively and prosperous.


    On the way, he heard that there was a very famous cliff cave by the river There were murals carved in the cave. The painting skills of these murals were exquisite and superb. They could make the women’s paintings as ethereal as immortals from the heavens, the flying snakes and beasts to have the aura of immortals.


    Therefore, Shen Ping specially took a detour to rush to the cliff cave. Yet there was a deste and dpidated scene nearby. There were no incense offerings from themoners within a radius of several kilometers. The Dragon King Temple in some ces had even copsed.


    There was a schr at the edge of the cliff cave. He could not help but go forward and ask about the reason.


    “Some time ago, a demonic dragonmitted evil and stirred up trouble It drowned tens of thousands offertile fields nearby and angered the Imperial Court. It sent Daoist soldiers to suppress it. After the battle, the people were plunged into misery and suffering. Therefore, this ce became more and more dpidated. Themoners did not dare toe here. The reason why I stayed here was because I was obsessed with the murals.” The schr said slowly.


    Shen Ping sized up the schr. There was a sinister aura between his brows. His eyes were dark and his face was a little pale. His blood qi was clearly insufficient, but his overall appearance looked noble. Moreover, there was a faint purple aura circling above his head


    This made him curious. After umting his cultivation and breaking through to the Perfected Lord Realm, he could more or less deduce the direction of the fate of the world. He could even tell something from one’s physiognomy. Although the schr in front of him was dressed ordinary, from his physiognomy, he seemed to have luck.


    “To be honest, I’m also here for the murals in the cliff cave. I’m about to go and admire them.”<div>


    “I’m willing to lead the way. Daoist priest, please.”


    The schr walked in front. Shen Ping followed closely behind. The two of them walked deeper into the cave. The deeper they went, the dimmer the light became. However, there were fluorescent stones shining on both sides so that they would not get lost.


    They turned three or four corners when suddenly, it lit up. There were several rays of sunlight shining down from the top of the cave, illuminating the surrounding murals. Every mural was vivid and lifelike. The figures in it looked real, especially thergest portrait of a woman. The woman on it had a smile on her face, as if she was transmitting a smile that echoed in his ears.


    “Priest, this mural is a little magical. You can’t look at it too much.” The schr reminded him.


    Shen Ping blinked and looked at the woman on the mural who was either ying the zither or the waist drum. He seemed to understand why the schr’s feet were weak and his vitality was insufficient.N?v(el)B\\jnn


    Without looking at the portrait of the courtdies, he quickly went to admire the other murals. At night, the schr got some food from somewhere and handed it to Shen Ping.


    “I’m a cultivator. I eat qi and dew. I don’t eat grains. Thankyou for your kindness.” Shen Ping refused. The schr did not insist and ate on his own.


    At night, the two of them lit a bonfire. Not long after, Shen Ping pretended to be asleep, while the schr walked to a cave and blew the sound of the flute. Not long after, two beautiful women walked down from the portrait.


    “Darling, why is there a Daoist today?”


    “This Daoist is passing by here. Don’t disturb him.”


    Alright, darling. The night is long. Let’s have fun in time…”<div>


    Apanied by the sound of the zither and drums, unsightly low moans echoed in the cave.


    The next morning, the schr’s face turned paler, and the dark circles under his eyes deepened. Shen Ping kindly reminded him, “Benefactor, there’s a murderous aura between your eyebrows. I’m afraid there have been ghosts around you recently. Thedies on the murals are condensed from Yin qi. If you have fun every night, it will only wear down your essence.”


    Seeing that Shen Ping had seen through it, the schr could not help but look embarrassed. Actually, he had long realized it, but the feeling was really wonderful and difficult to break free.


    “How many days have you stayed here?”


    “It’s been nine days.”


    Shen Ping asked again, “How many times a day?”


    “Nine times.”


    Theers of Shen Ping’s mouth twitched. Nine days was 81 times. This schr could still stand and walk. He was really strong. As expected of someone blessed by luck.


    “Can you let me take your pulse?” The schr hurriedly extended his arm. After taking his pulse, Shen Ping shook his head and said, “Benefactor your blood essence is severely damaged. If you don’t treat it soon, you’ll be in danger of losing your life. It’s better to leave the cliff cave as soon as possible.”


    The schr hesitated. “Daoist priest, I-I can’t let them go. I wonder if you have a way to let us stay together.”


    As he spoke, he brought Shen Ping to a pool in the depths of the cliff cave and took out a blue stone. “To be honest, Ie here every day to touch the stone Then my body will recover some strength, so I can only have fun with them at night.”


    Shen Ping took the aqua blue stone. As soon as his hand touched it, he immediately sensed a rich five-elemental energy surging into his body. “T- This is actually a nomological stone.”


    The so-called Nomological Stone was actually a special ore resource. It was a strange object nurtured by the world. After absorbing it, it could cause the Dao Bone to mutate and possess another attribute.


    Currently, Shen Ping’s Dao bone was of the Yin attribute. No matter how he cultivated, he could only transform it into the Dharmic powers and vitality of the Yin and Yang. In the future, he could only walk the Dao of Yin and Yang. If he absorbed the aqua-blue stone, he would be able to obtain the Dao bone of the five elements.


    Although the vitality and Dharmic powers of the Yin and Yang Qi could also cast the Five Elements Spell, their power was not high. If he used the vitality of the Five Elements Qi, the power would bepletely different.


    More importantly, apart from allowing cultivators to have an additional Dao bone, this Nomological Stone was also the foundation for achieving the Dao. This was because the Nomological Qi contained in it was an energy gas of a higher quality than the vitality Qi.


    The main reason why Perfected Lords wanted to go to the Blessed Enve to reach the Earth Immortal Realm was because there would be the Nomological Qi in the Blessed Enve.


    Shen Ping did not expect that he would actually encounter a nomological stone on a casual tour. Looking at the schr, he could not help but sigh. Fortunately, he had kindly reminded him. Otherwise, this schr would not have revealed such a secret.


    “Benefactor, humans and ghosts have different paths. Even if you forcefully condense their Yin bodies, it will harm you. If you really like them, you should let them reincarnate. I believe that once fate arrives, you will meet again.”
