“I’m Ling Fengzi. Please sit down.”

Seeing that this old Daoist’s attributes exceeded that of ordinary people, Zhou Jing immediately felt more confident. He raised his hand and smiled.

Wei Zifu thanked him politely before sitting down. His eyes were filled with reverence and excitement.

“In the past few days, Perfected Master Windwalker’s name has resounded like thunder in my ears. Seeing you today, you’re indeed a senior with deep cultivation. You’ve actually reached the realm of Natural Dao. I’m really impressed.”

As the saying went, the accomplished took precedence. Although he was already old, when he saw how high Zhou Jing’s cultivation was, he did not dare to be frivolous and directly treated Zhou Jing as a senior.

“What is known by Natural Dao Realm? Daoist Wei, can you explain in detail?”

Zhou Jing blinked with interest.

It was not easy for him to meet a Daoist who had mastered the local supernatural system. He planned to ask carefully and not miss out. In front of such an insider, it was not beautiful to pretend to know everything. It was easy for others to see through his superficial knowledge.

Therefore, he might as well ask directly. In any case, his background was that of a rogue cultivator, so it was understandable that he did not know some general knowledge. After all, he had divine powers and was not afraid of being suspected. Moreover, he had already established himself among the nobles of Ning Tian Prefecture and had a lot of certifications. His status would not waver easily.

Hearing this, Wei Zifu was stunned,

“The Perfected One doesn’t know about the Natural Dao Realm? Could it be that there’s no record of such a realm in the Daoist books that the Perfected One cultivates? I wonder which sect the Perfected One cultivates in?”

Zhou Jing chuckled and used the same old excuse. He casually said, “I’ve lived in the wilderness for a long time and naturally comprehended the world in this manner. My Dao is naturally formed, but I’ve never read any Daoist books or cultivated any spells.”

Wei Zifu’s body trembled as he said in shock, “Could it be that Perfected One doesn’t have a master and has cultivated such skills on his own? Did you create your own spells and divine powers?!”

“You could say that.”

Zhou Jing controlled his expression as he spoke. He was not embarrassed at all. Anyway, Roman was not around, so he could say whatever he wanted.

Wei Zifu was shocked. He suddenly stood up and bowed solemnly, his face full of admiration,

“Perfected One, you have extraordinary talent. In the future, you will definitely be a figure who can establish your own sect. This Daoist has been rude. Please accept this Daoist’s bow again!”

Seeing this, Li Qingyang was extremely surprised.

He felt that ever since he entered, his master seemed to have changed into a different person. He was actually so respectful to Ling Fengzi, even more so than he was to their Sect’s ancestral tablet.

However, he did not know the shock and excitement in Wei Zifu’s heart.

In the distant era recorded in the Daoist books, the ancestors of the various sects were geniuses. They created all kinds of spell cultivation methods and passed down their legacies.

Now, when his disciples and grand-disciples cultivated, they were all guided by their masters and cultivated according to secret manuals. Only those with outstanding talent could barely master the basics and have some spell techniques.

However, this Ling Fengzi had comprehended the Dao of cultivation from all things and reached the realm of natural Dao on his own. In Wei Zifu’s opinion, this was the level of establishing a sect!

If this person passed down his mantle and established an orthodoxy, he would definitely become an ancestor in the future!

The more he knew, the more he understood the difficulty of self-cultivation. How could Wei Zifu not respect such a god? He originally thought that Ling Fengzi’s cultivation was high enough, but he did not expect that he had still underestimated him.

He never expected that he would encounter such an ancestor-level figure who would most likely leave his name in history!

And this person was even still alive!

“Uh, Daoist Wei, there’s no need to be so polite. Let’s talk about the matter.”

The corners of Zhou Jing’s mouth twitched.

Good lord, he seemed to have over-exaggerated himself this time…

Looking at this person’s expression, it seemed that there was something about him that made this also supernatural expert misunderstand.

Wei Zifu stood up and suppressed the excitement in his heart. He began to explain,

“According to the records of my sect, the so-called Natural Dao Realm is to absorb qi into one’s body, and integrate it with the body’s own energies. The qi is the body, and the qi is the body. It is clear and pristine, and the heavens and the earth are one. They originate from each other and grow endlessly…

Just now, I used the Qi Divination Technique to observe. The Perfected One’s body is filled with the aura of the wind and wood spirit. It is born from the inside and is one with the aura of the world. It is difficult to distinguish between them. That is the so-called realm of natural Dao…”

Zhou Jing listened for a long time before he understood what was going on.

The Gale Spirit was the essence of the wind element and a natural wonder. By fusing with it, one would become one with the other. It was difficult to distinguish between the human body and the elements. This was the characteristic of the elemental sorcerer system. It could not be hidden in front of others.

But in the eyes of the experts in this world, this characteristic was an extremely profound realm. In the Five Elements Theory of this world, wind and lightning belonged to the wood element. Therefore, when Wei Zifu saw that his spiritual energy was born from within, he believed in his ability and treated him as an expert.

“What a coincidence. I didn’t expect there to be such an unexpected surprise… If I encounter other true cultivators, I don’t even need to expend any effort to cast a spell. Just this characteristic alone can scare the insiders…”

Zhou Jing’s heart trembled slightly at the realization.

He thought for a moment and smiled, “This Daoist here has practiced divine powers for many years, but I’ve never heard of so many things. It’s quite interesting.”

Hearing this, Wei Zifu smiled awkwardly.

These words made it difficult for him to continue.

If it was an ordinary person, they would naturally say that the other party was ignorant and inexperienced. However, this Ling Fengzi’s cultivation was probably unparalleled in the world. It made them seem like they were too obsessed with chasing cultivation ranks…

It was just like a group of mediocre people who had developed a technique into complicated processes and were quite proud of it. However, when an expert whose level far exceeded theirs passed by, he took a look before exclaiming in surprise that he had never heard of so many patterns. Would it not suffice just to practice the technique by itself instead of the processes? It was really a little infuriating… Ahem, he was basically telling them to return to the basics.

He wanted to ridicule the other party, but he did not dare to be rash in front of Zhou Jing. After all, that was not his disciple.

Zhou Jing paused and said with interest,

“I see that Daoist Wei also has some cultivation. I think you also have some divine abilities. I wonder if you’re willing to explain to me your Clear Spirit Sect and the other spells and Daoist sects in the world?”

“My pleasure.”

Wei Zifu immediately replied, quite happy to explain these miscellaneous matters to Zhou Jing.

He firmly believed that Zhou Jing would become the founder of the sect in the future. If he could have a good conversation with him today, his name might be recorded. In the future, if the records left behind the deeds of him discussing the Dao with an ancestor in the future, that would be an extremely honorable thing.

Wei Zifu explained in detail.

Zhou Jing listened patiently, finally sorting out the situation.

There were two main supernatural systems in this world. One was Martial Arts Internal Energy, and the other was the Spell Technique System.

Martial arts were widely spread, and they were mostly seen in the martial world, the Green Forest, and the army. Even ordinary people could practice some simple styles. Chen Feng had already come into contact with them.

As for the spell lineage, there were very few cultivators. Firstly, one needed very high talent to enter the sect. Secondly, only a small number of Daoist sects in the world had the true teachings of spell techniques, and most of them were very strict in choosing disciples. Not only did they test talent and temperament, but they also depended on fate. If they encountered any accidents, their inheritance would easily be cut off.

In addition, there were too many scammers who used the name of a Daoist to deceive others. Their reputation was not good.

There were two types of true disciples. One was a large sect that had entered the secular world, and the other was hidden sects.

The large secular sects usually occupied famous mountains and scenic spots. They inherited orthodoxies and accepted many disciples. Their incense offerings were flourishing… Although there were true teachings of spells, only core disciples could cultivate them. The rest were only outer disciples who were only used to run the sect and could not learn spells.

For example, the five great true sects were the Righteous Heart Sect at Mt. Qingliang, Mt Purple Bamboo’s Connate Path Sect, Mt Changmen’s Jade Cauldron Sect, Mt Yunxia’s Southern Hua Sect, and Mt West Palace’s Profound Pure Sect, as well as a few Buddhist temples.

This kind of secular sect was quite similar to the sects in the martial world. They could even let the outer disciples cultivate martial arts and could be considered as a martial world sect as well… However, there was still a fundamental difference. They usually had a religious form and claimed to be monks or priests, which was recognized by the Imperial Court.

As for the hidden sects, most of them were unknown to others. The Clear Spirit Sect that Wei Zifu belonged to was one of them. They had a legacy and there were at most five to six people in every generation. They were good at searching for traces, drawing talismans to exorcize evil, divination, and nurturing their bodies.

According to Wei Zifu, in the spell lineage, each sect had their own strengths. There were good and evil, and there were many types — talismans to suppress evil, the five elements and eight trigrams, feng shui, divination, fate prediction, ghost capturing, summoning the soul out of the body, paper effigies to replace disasters, corpse-chasing, corpse-refining, witchcraft, and so on.

Most of these spells came from the use of all kinds of Heaven and Earth Qi. Different Qi gave rise to different spells.

Therefore, the core of the spell system was the control and absorption of the aura of heaven and earth. It was somewhat similar to elemental sorcerers, with more diverse methods.

Zhou Jing asked in detail and realized that Wei Zifu’s Qi Divination Technique had a similar effect to his Elemental Vision. They both relied on their spiritual senses to observe things and see things that ordinary people could not. However, there were some differences in what they saw.

After doing some analysis, he realized that the strength of the spells in this world was not high at the moment. They were not good at attacking, but there were some mysterious methods with outstanding strengths and weaknesses.

Although the attributes of the spell system were evenly distributed, the main attribute was Perception. This system was not too powerful in combat.

“The Heaven and Earth essence energy in this world is becoming more and more active. Other than the development of martial arts and internal strength, the spell system lineage is also slowly revealing its wonders. However, at the moment, it’s also only at the initial stage. It’s sometimes effective, sometimes not, and its strength is limited… In a real battle, it still depends on martial arts.”

Zhou Jing confirmed his plans to himself.

In that case, his wind sorcery was a rare “offensive spell” here.

“The spells in this world are still in their embryonic stages. I can understand them, but I might not be able to use them to practice… I should practice Bill’s elemental sorcerer system first. The benefits will be higher.”

Zhou Jing had made a decision and basically knew the situation. He changed the topic and smiled,

“What I heard today is really an eye-opener. I appreciate Daoist Wei for enlightening me.”

“No, no, I wouldn’t dare take credit.”

Wei Zifu waved his hand, his mouth dry from talking. He picked up the tea to moisten his throat.

Zhou Jing pondered for a moment and asked, “I was chatting happily with Daoist just now, so I forgot to ask. Why did the two of you specially come to see me?”

“Cough, cough, cough…”

Wei Zifu immediately choked on his tea and came back to his senses.

He was so shocked about his discovery that he almost forgot the main purpose of his trip…

Wei Zifu glared at Li Qingyang, as if blaming his disciple for not reminding him.

Li Qingyang made a gesture of closing his mouth, indicating that he did not dare to say or ask.

Wei Zifu helplessly retracted his gaze and spoke,

“Perfected One, you might not know this, but this Daoist came to Peaceful Heaven to pursue a demon. That person is hiding in a powerful family in Ning Tian Prefecture and is relying on the power of a noble to obtain protection. I have no choice but to seek help.”

Hearing this, Zhou Jing’s eyes turned strange.

This person’s situation sounded really familiar…

You old cow nose, we were just chatting nicely just now. Why did you suddenly start to behave so strangely?

…

At the same time, a few soft palanquins arrived in front of the Ye family mansion.

The female Daoist priest covered her face with a veil and got out of the sedan chair. She looked at the door of the Ye family and took a deep breath.

“I hope I can convince Perfected Master Windwalker…”
