City God Temple.

The streets were bustling with activity. Ghost Concubine Xi Lengyan frowned. She did not like such a place that was filled with people. The maidservant beside her felt even worse. Even if she was holding an umbrella, she could feel her body being burned by the aura from all directions.

“Miss, can the incense and talismans in the temple really hide our auras?” Chunxiang asked.

Xi Lengyan replied casually, “In such a City God Temple, incense and talismans carry the power of incense. Coupled with the divine power of the City God’s Netherworld, they can naturally easily hide the cold ghost aura on our bodies. However, we can’t do it for too long, or it will corrode us. If I was at my peak, such things wouldn’t affect me. But it’s different now. Alright, control a few mortals to buy incense and talismans.”

Chunxiang nodded. “Yes, Miss.”

After a while, two women handed over the incense and talisman they had bought.

Xi Lengyan tapped her finger and performed some tricks. Then, she placed the talismans on her and the maidservant. “Let’s go back to the inn. At noon, you can rent a courtyard and light incense in the courtyard. Our aura will disappear.”

While they were doing their work, Shen Ping sat cross-legged on the bed and circulated the self-created cultivation technique, Dao Wheel Technique. Previously, in the ancient temple, he did not dare to cultivate too much for fear of attracting attention. Now that he was circulating it with all his might, waves of cold spiritual energy from the surrounding heaven and earth surged into his body from all directions. Soon, it was transformed into his magic power by the Dao bone of the dragon in his spine.

This kind of magic power was different from the magic power transformed by the spiritual root. There seemed to be a restriction in the magic power. It was difficult to use magic power to execute the divine powers in the true spirit’s memories.

He was not surprised at all. This palace world was definitely affected by the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth. One could only use the rules of this world to unleash extraordinary power. Sensing the auras of Xi Lengyan and Chunxiang outside the inn, he immediately stopped cultivating.

After a while, the two women walked into the inn.

“Here, this is the snacks and roasted chicken Miss brought for you. Young Master Shen, my Miss is sincere to you. I hope you won’t let her down.” Chunxiang placed the lunch box on the table and did not forget to remind him.

Shen Ping smiled meaningfully and said, “Don’t worry, I’ll repay your Miss well tonight.”

The two women’s faces instantly turned red. Although they were not chaste women, they were also young ladies from noble families when they were alive. They were reserved and shy in this aspect.

When they finished the food, Chunxiang left to rent a residential courtyard. Shen Ping took the opportunity to ask Xi Lengyan about cultivation. “Miss Xi, I saw that your maidservant’s skills are not bad. Has she followed an immortal before? Does she know magic?”

Xi Lengyan shook her head. “There are no immortals in this world. They’re just Daoist methods and unorthodox techniques. When Chunxiang and I were young, we met a traveling Daoist priest and learned something. That’s why we dared to walk in the wilderness.”

Shen Ping nodded. “In that case, if you want to cultivate, you have to enter the Daoist temple to learn from a master?”

“That’s right, but the Daoist temple is very strict in accepting disciples. Not only does it depend on talent, but it also depends on character. Since Young Master Shen is a scholar, I think it’s best to take the imperial examination. If you pass, you won’t be weaker than cultivation in this world.” Xi Lengyan said seriously.

“What do you mean?” As Shen Ping spoke, he first told her about his encounter with the demon fox before revealing his pursuit of visiting immortals and seeking the Dao.

“All those who can pass the imperial examination are protected by the Wenqu Star. Once they enter the court and become officials, they can obtain the protection of the Imperial Qi of the Imperial Court. Ordinary cultivators and wild fox demons can’t get close.”

Hearing Xi Lengyan’s explanation, Shen Ping gradually had a clearer understanding of this world. There was only one dynasty in this world, and it was the Great Zhao. There were twelve large states under its jurisdiction, and each state had a dragon cauldron guarding it to gather the dragon vein energy. The government, even the county offices, would have the protection of the dragon vein. Demons, ghosts, and devils could not easily approach.

On the other hand, famous Daoist temples in the world would be conferred by the dynasty and enjoy the luck of the dynasty. Apart from that, there were also some civilian Daoist temples and temples that could gather dragon qi after receiving incense from the people.

“The path of cultivation is as difficult as ascending to the sky. Even if you achieve success in cultivation, there are many restrictions and you can’t really be carefree. Therefore, Young Master, you still have to work hard in your studies. When you enter the Dragon Court in the future, you will rise to the sky.”

Shen Ping shook his head. “Miss Xi, don’t persuade me anymore. My heart for cultivation has long been firm. I won’t change it.”

Xi Lengyan could only sigh helplessly. Although her cultivation level was not low, she came from a scholarly family when she was alive. She had been nurtured all year round and her desire to pursue an official career had long been ingrained. In her heart, she hoped that Young Master Shen, who had a few nights of fun with her, could become a scholar like her father.

Around five in the evening, the maidservant, Chunxiang, rented a house and the three of them moved in. This courtyard was a hundred years old and had three courtyards. The front yard and atrium were not bad, but the backyard was dilapidated and looked rather sinister at night.

“It’s just a place where Yin Qi gathers. That well is even in the Six Fiend Position. It’s a good place for us to cultivate our Yin bodies.”

Xi Lengyan was very satisfied. Chunxiang smiled and said, “As long as Miss likes it. Relying on this environment, Miss can recover faster.”

Late at night, in the bathtub in the backyard bedroom, the water soaked in the medicinal herbs was milky white. Shen Ping could feel that his body was warm, as if there was medicinal power nourishing his body..
