“Ding dong! The nameless Divine Art has been detected as a dual cultivation technique, and it requires a Dao companion to cultivate.”
“Ding dong! Detecting that the host is lacking a Dao companion, the system will gift you a Dao companion for free …”
!!
The system’s notifications rang out one after another, and PEI Ling was instantly shocked. It wasn’t that the stupid system had given him a Dao companion for free again, but why did he lack a Dao companion?
He had a Dao companion!
Without waiting for PEI Ling to figure out this problem, under the control of the system, he had already strode towards the main hall of the Daoist temple.
Along the way, green bamboo swayed and the scenery was quite elegant.
Very quickly, PEI Ling pushed open the palace doors and walked in.
The layout of this Hall was no different from that of an ordinary Taoist temple. However, the statue of the god was hidden behind the heavy curtain and its appearance could not be seen clearly.
On the long table in front of the shrine, there were offerings such as melons, fruits, fish, and so on. They looked very fresh.
It was as if it had just been served.
On the green Brick floor below, a row of praying mats were neatly arranged, and on both sides were many incense sticks.
At this moment, most of the candles were extinguished, and only a portion of them were still burning.
The entire Hall was filled with smoke and fire, so thick that it was choking.
Seeing this scene, PEI Ling’s heart was calm.
No matter what the system gave him, it was better than playing hide-and-seek in this empty Taoist temple!
But then, he saw himself walking back and forth in the hall.
After walking in more than 20 circles, he finally sat down on a futon. &Quot; “Ding dong! The system did not find a Dao companion, gift failed!”
“Ding dong! A lack of Dao companion was detected. The cultivation session ended here. Thank you, host, for using the intelligent cultivation system. With one click of the button, you can ascend without worry! Please give me a five-star rating if you are satisfied!”
Regaining control of his body, PEI Ling’s expression changed slightly.
Did the system not detect any suitable female cultivators, or could it be that she couldn’t walk out of the temple?
If it was the former, he could switch to another cultivation technique.
However, if it was the latter …
Boom! Boom! Boom!
All of a sudden, a clap of thunder fell from above.
Immediately after, a burst of chaotic jumping sounds came from the tiles.
It was suddenly raining heavily.
&Quot; Hua Hua Hua … &Quot; PEI Ling stood up and walked to the entrance of the main hall. He frowned as he looked at the heavy rain outside the window.
The rain came so suddenly that bean-sized raindrops fell quickly and fiercely in an instant.
The green Brick floor in front of the courtyard was quickly filled with a layer of misty water vapor, filling the entire courtyard.
Not long after, the entire courtyard seemed to be covered in a layer of fog, blocking one’s vision. From three feet away, one could only hear the roar of the rain, but not see the exact scene.
Even with the eyesight of a cultivator, he could only see a vague outline.
PEI Ling’s expression was dark. This rain was very strange!
He didn’t dare to come into direct contact with it. He summoned a resentful spirit at the sixth level of the Qi refining stage and ordered it to enter the rain.
The vengeful spirit was fine at first, but it followed PEI Ling’s instructions and walked in the direction of the reflective wall. Not long after, it was like the fifth-level Qi refining vengeful spirit from before and instantly lost contact with PEI Ling.
Even when PEI Ling’s vision was pushed to its limits, he could only see that the vengeful spirit seemed to have disappeared into the mist.
Without any warning, without any struggle.
He pondered in his heart,’two choices. One is to cultivate the [ burning night chapter ] and break through to the late Foundation establishment stage as soon as possible. After that, I’ll investigate the strange happenings in the temple.”
“If it’s still the same when the time comes and there’s no trace of other living beings, I’ll tear down this Daoist temple directly … And force out the strange things behind the scenes!”
&Quot; the second is to seize the [ Blood Fiend saber technique ] or other techniques and continue to try to leave the Pengxi temple. When I go outside, I’ll think about it. &Quot;
After hesitating for a moment, PEI Ling decided to raise his cultivation first.
Time was precious, and he had already used the system once. Not only did he not leave the pengyan temple, but he also went deeper into this strange place.
If he continued to think about leaving now, it would be fine if he succeeded, but if he failed, wouldn’t it be a waste of effort?
More importantly, the system had too many uncertain factors.
What if he gave him some dangerous item? wouldn’t that be self-defeating?
No matter what, his own strength was his greatest trump card!
Thus, PEI Ling took out a Jade bottle filled with the dreamless powder and was about to consume it when he suddenly heard a flurry of footsteps coming from outside the hall.
He immediately put away the Jade bottle and held the hilt of the nine souls saber in reverse, waiting for the attack.
&Quot; cough, cough, cough … &Quot; the group of people hurriedly stepped up the stone steps in front of the hall. Before they entered the hall, they were overwhelmed by the strong smell of incense and coughed.
As he coughed, seven to eight young men dressed in tight clothing and boots, with sabers and swords hanging from their necks, looked like guards. After seeing PEI Ling, especially the nine souls saber in his hand, they immediately moved and protected the two young girls.
The two female family members were of similar age, but the taller girl had delicate skin and tender flesh. She was beautiful and had a sesame-sized mole at the corner of her mouth, which added a bit of playfulness. The shorter girls had obviously rougher skin, and their looks could only be said to be lacking.
She was wearing a simple green jacket and a plain dress. Standing in front of the former, she was very unremarkable.
It seemed that they were a master and servant pair.
“I am Ji youzhong, the Ji family’s steward.” The other party stared at each other silently for a moment. The oldest middle-aged man in a long robe stepped out of the crowd and cupped his hands in a salute to PEI Ling. He said evenly, ” I’ve received old Madam’s orders to escort eldest miss back to her hometown. I didn’t expect that we would be blocked by the heavy rain even though we’re so close to the manor gate … I wonder if I can borrow your place to allow eldest miss and her maidservants to hide for a while? ”
PEI Ling didn’t reply immediately. He cast the [ spirit eye technique ] and scanned everyone one by one. After a serious examination, he discovered that these people were all mortals without any cultivation.
He didn’t let his guard down because of this. His eyes paused on the rain stains on these people, and he was puzzled. Was it because these people’s cultivation levels were too high that he couldn’t see through their concealment, or was it because the rain outside could harm the soul but not the physical body?
Or could it be that this rain was targeted at the various methods of cultivators who had entered the path and was harmless to mortals?
He couldn’t be sure for a moment, so he slowly released the hilt of the nine souls saber and said with a calm expression, ” “I’m Zheng Jingshan, I’m not the owner of this place. I’m also here to take shelter from the rain.”
Zheng Jingshan?
He had never heard of this name.
Moreover, the other party looked very young, so he didn’t seem to be a powerful Saberman.
With this thought in mind, Ji youzhong and the rest secretly heaved a sigh of relief. They cupped their hands at PEI Ling again and then escorted their young lady inside.
The main hall of the Taoist temple was quite large, and neither side wanted to cause trouble.
Hence, Ji youzhong and the rest specifically chose a corner opposite of PEI Ling’s to stay.
These people were obviously very familiar with living in the wild. They quickly found a way to start a fire, and the drenched people gathered around the fire to keep warm.
The maidservant in the middle seemed to want to tease her lady, but before she could finish her sentence, she was stopped by Ji youzhong’s stern look.
Obviously, the other party was very cautious and did not want to attract too much attention when the women were talking and laughing, which would attract unnecessary trouble.
For a time, only the crackling of the burning firewood could be heard in the hall, and no one spoke.
PEI lingfei sat on the futon and seemed to be resting with her eyes closed, but she was quietly observing the actions of this group of people.
For a while, they didn’t seem to have any abnormalities.
He shook his head in his heart. What a pity.
If these people were really ordinary mortals, it was obvious that they had come at the wrong time.
At the moment, he could not even protect himself. Once something happened, it would be very difficult to save them …
Just as he was thinking about this, footsteps came from outside the door again.
“Damn you, this rain is really heavy!” Accompanied by curses, three men in different attires barged in as if no one was around.
PEI Ling raised his head slightly and his pupils suddenly shrank!
