Cultivating Immortality in a World of Chaos - Chapter 792

[Chapter 790 Stone Seal]

“I…”

The wind whistled in Mei Changkong’s ears, and he felt a black screen in front of his eyes and then fainted.

When he woke up again, he was already in a cave.

“Eh? I’m fine…”

He practiced Qigong and regulated his breathing, and felt relaxed all over his body. The injuries caused by County Magistrate Cao and the wounds left by Judge Wu disappeared without a trace.

“Not bad…you’re awake?”

At this moment, a flash of light appeared at the entrance of the cave, and a young Taoist priest in black walked in. It was Fang Xi.

Mei Changkong was silent for a while, then he suddenly fell to the ground and prostrated himself: “Changkong thanks you for saving my life, may I ask what path you are practicing?”

He was extremely nervous, yet also a little expectant.

“What I cultivate is naturally the way of immortality and freedom.”

Fang Xi replied with a smile.

Mei Changkong’s eyes suddenly filled with tears!
Without entering the Dao Court, self-cultivation and self-realization are ultimately vain!

This restriction has caused many talented people to fail in their endeavours, and even some stubborn people have wasted their entire lives.

At this moment, Mei Changkong thought of his own master and whispered in his heart: “Master…”

Bang, bang, bang!
He suddenly kowtowed heavily, his voice like a cuckoo crying blood: “This old man… this old man… I have seen the way of the true immortal today, even if I die, I have no regrets… If you have any orders, this old Taoist will not refuse even if he dies!”

In the blink of an eye, Mei Changkong was already in tears.

“Hmm? He didn’t beg me to accept him as his disciple, but he has good judgment, knows the difference between superiors and subordinates, and knows when to advance and retreat…”

When Fang Xi saw this scene, he secretly praised it in his heart.

If you save someone’s life, and the other person still shamelessly wants to become your disciple and learn the true immortal method.

Fang Xi might have been slapped to death.

Even if they don’t kill him, they will just walk away.

There are tens of thousands of monks in the world, are you afraid of not being able to find a little white mouse? Why bother hanging yourself on a tree?
Now it seems that Mei Changkong is not bad.

He sat cross-legged, and a black aura emerged from the void, like a Ganoderma lucidum, supporting Fang Xi’s body: “Tell me about your experiences one by one…”

When Mei Changkong saw Fang Xi like this, he felt even more envious.

A casual cultivator has limited spiritual power. Even if he has rare treasures, he has to conserve every bit of his magical power carefully to prevent any unexpected events.

Such an extravagant act is absolutely impossible to do.

Mei Changkong calmed down and immediately told his own experience: “I was born in Feixing Temple…”

“…For this assassination, I have already sacrificed and refined three ‘death nails’. As long as I nail Cao’s body to death, I will be able to pollute his soul. Unfortunately…”

At the end, the old Taoist shook his head helplessly and handed over a gray stone seal and three black nails: “Please appreciate these items, benefactor!”

“Um.”

Fang Xi picked up the three ‘death nails’ first and couldn’t help but smile.

In the eyes of a top-level magic cultivator like him, the crafting of this magic weapon was simply disgraceful.

However, there is some chance of polluting the soul of a foundation-building cultivator – provided that the target is hit.

Mei Changkong obviously couldn’t hit him.

“Moreover, officials in this world all have Taoist talismans and divine duties. Even if all three nails are hit, I’m afraid they won’t be able to kill the other party’s soul…”

Fang Xi had witnessed the power of the gods today, and it was indeed quite impressive.

For example, the City God of Qingxi County, within the territory of Qingxi County, definitely has power comparable to that of a Jindan!

Even the various magic arts are more like magical powers, which can be released at will, and are quite difficult to deal with among the Jindan cultivators.

However, Shinto also has disadvantages.

That is, once he leaves the scope of his duties in Qingxi County, this City God will probably immediately regress to become an ordinary foundation-building cultivator, or even worse than an ordinary foundation-building cultivator…

“This stone seal is quite interesting…”

Fang Xi immediately picked up the gray-white stone seal again.

The stone seal was square, the seal characters below had long been blurred, and there were cracks on the surface.

But it is this stone seal that can give those independent cultivators who do not have Taoist talismans and are not members of the Taoist court a chance to breathe under the tight net.

He played with it for a while and felt that there was some profound aura hidden in it.

However, I am not a high-level Shinto monk and cannot see the mystery.

“This thing is somewhat mysterious. I can only confirm that it is a high-level Shinto treasure…”

Fang Xi threw the stone seal to Mei Changsu again.

Mei Changsu was struck by lightning, and smiled bitterly with some realization: “I also had some guesses, and now it seems that it is true…”

There was a look of frustration on his face.

After all, the ancestors of Feixing Temple all wanted to cultivate themselves and attain enlightenment, and become free and easy immortals.

It turned out that they had taken the wrong path from the very beginning.

The external objects that we rely on are also the way of God!
It is like trying thousands of roads, but in the end, we still end up in the hands of God.

If he had not seen Fang Xi’s “True Immortal Path” now, I am afraid that this blow of shattering his three views would make Mei Changsu want to commit suicide.

“Since it is a treasure of the gods, it is not what I want.”

Mei Changsu gritted his teeth, held the stone seal in his hands, and knelt down again: “I am willing to present this treasure to you, my benefactor. I only ask that you allow me to serve you and be your servant…”

“This thing… is not ordinary. Have you really thought about it?”

Fang Xi picked up the stone seal and asked with a smile.

“Never regret even if you die!”

Mei Changkong was firm and resolute, yet at the same time he felt a little lost, as if he had lost something important.

“In that case, I’ll take it.”

Fang Xi nodded with a smile: “I plan to travel around the world and find a place to practice cultivation. I really need an old servant to take care of the chores. You can call me Master in the future.”

“This old slave greets you, sir!”

Mei Changkong saluted quickly.

Fang Xi held the stone seal in his hand, and somehow felt that he had some kind of karmic connection with this person, and he couldn’t help but smile.

In this world, the rules of cause and effect are much stronger than those in the earthly immortal world.

However, he naturally had no taboos and was fearless.

…

After sending Mei Changkong out to hunt some game, Fang Xi waved his hand and a bright light appeared in the cave, with six talismans emerging.

Three of them are Taoist talismans, and two of them are ‘Taishang Daoting Dugongzhi talismans’, which come from the Day and Night Wandering God.

Read the error-free version on 6Ⅹ9Ⅹ bookⅩ bar! 6Ⅹ9 book bar first publishes a novel.

No wonder these two gods dared to look forward to being promoted to the rank, it turned out that they were Jinshi graduates, and were legitimate Taoists listed in the Taoist canon!

And there is another one which is an eighth-grade ‘Taishang Daoting Beidou Secret Scroll’, which comes from Judge Wu.

Fang Xi looked at the remaining Shinto talismans again.

I saw a white jade talisman, one foot long and three fingers wide, with the words “Day Patrol Officer of the City God Temple of Qingxi County” written on it!
The other one was similar, but it only said “Night Patrol Officer of the City God Temple of Qingxi County”!
“They are both low-ranking divine officials, but they look better than the Water Transfer Officer of the Well Dragon King.”

Fang Xi looked at the last divine edict.

This one was even more different. Not only was it pure white, but it also had a hint of red air. It had colorful divine writing flashing on it, inscribed with the words, “A ninth-rank military judge of the Reward and Punishment Court of the City God Temple of Qingxi County!”
“A ninth-rank divine position!”

Feeling the power of this divine talisman, Fang Xi couldn’t help but murmur.

This kind of divine position can enable ordinary people to ascend to heaven in one step without any aptitude test.

Even the priesthood has some magic spells, similar to initiation, which can make the new gods learn instantly! And they can basically master it!
“Today’s harvest is not small, but the consequences are also great. If you really enter the rank and have an official position, even if you have a list in the Dao Court… Maybe even the emperor knows that there is a person named Tieci in Qingxi County. If I kill him, he will immediately become an enemy of the entire Shinto…”

“Of course, even if the entire Dao Court is overthrown, it won’t really matter. After all, it’s just a small world. But if the Heavenly Court is destroyed, it won’t be fun anymore…”

“And these Taoist scriptures naturally have the effect of tracking and positioning…”

At this moment, the six talismans were shining brightly, like six fish, some of which wanted to fly away through the air.

A smile appeared on Fang Xi’s lips, and he suddenly waved his hand.

A silver light emerged, wrapping the six talismans, and disappeared in an instant.

“The positioning is very powerful, so let’s locate Xiankong Island in the Earthly Immortal Realm…”

“These six talismans can be used to copy divine texts, and the improvement of talisman skills will be immediate…”

“Especially from the ninth-rank martial judge priesthood, it gives people a different feeling.”

“I wonder what kind of insights a higher-level priesthood can give me?”

A hint of anticipation appeared in his eyes.

Of course, the priesthood is the core of the gods. It is basically impossible to see such secrets without killing the opponent or becoming the opponent’s superior.

Therefore, if you want to see more divine works, it seems that there is only one way to go?
“That’s not the case. As the saying goes, if you want to get an official position, you have to kill people and set fires to be recruited… There are also cases where the Taoist court has subdued evil gods and included them in the official sacrifice…”

Fang Xi looked in a certain direction, as if thinking about something.

…

A few days later.

Baigan Village.

“Congratulations, Master Gan, the boy passed the test!”

A group of people gathered around Gan Yu’s fence, looking inside with envy.

Among the crowd, there were two officers.

When these officers go to the countryside, they are as fierce as wolves and tigers, and bullying the villagers is a common occurrence.

When ordinary villagers saw the official in official uniform, their legs went weak and they wanted to kneel on the ground and push the village chief and the landlord to deal with them.

But at this time, the two officers were full of smiles on their faces, and saluted Gan Yu: “Congratulations to Mr. Gan, you have ranked sixth in the test, and you will definitely have a seat at the Luming Banquet next year…”

The Lu Ming Banquet is an official banquet held after candidates pass the provincial examination.

This is naturally to please others.

Gan Yu thanked him repeatedly, took out a few silver coins from Fang Xi’s pocket, and gave them to the two officers: “You two have come a long way, please accept this little money for tea and water.”

“You’re too polite, Mr. Gan…”

The older officers had a smile on their faces, almost revealing all the wrinkles and folds. “This is a document from the government. Young master, please remember that you must go to the government office in seven days to meet the county magistrate. The county magistrate will personally confer the ordination certificate on the new student…”

“Thanks for the reminder.”

After Gan Yu sent the two runners away, he saw a white-haired old man with a ruddy face, leaning on a cane. He recognized him as the largest landlord in the village, and hurriedly bowed: “Mr. Bai…”

“Hey… I don’t deserve to be called Yu…”

Mr. Bai smiled and said, “I thought that you, Ah Yu, were a promising person. Seeing you today, it is indeed true. Our Baigan Village is very lucky to have a student. We will rely on you to deal with the government in the future…”

Becoming a Tongsheng has many conveniences. For example, it is considered half an official status. When the tax collectors go to the countryside, they will not dare to exploit you too much, and you can gain some benefits for the whole village.

Listening to Mr. Bai’s compliments, Gan Yu couldn’t help but feel a little dazed.

This is just a low-ranking student. If he passes the imperial examination, he will have a share of tax-free land. I’m afraid everyone in the village will start donating land and selling themselves into slavery…

Once you take the step of taking the imperial examination, there is indeed a world of difference.

The second one will be later
