The chirping of cicadas entered the summer, the northern geese only know autumn.

Shanyang County, in the residence arranged by the Liu Residence, the leaves of the parasol tree fell layer by layer. As the autumn wind swept past, the leaves fluttered. In this bleak summer and autumn, Shen Ping sat cross-legged on the stone platform like an old monk in meditation. He did not move and allowed the leaves to fall on his body.

Until the sun rose, the condensed vitality on his body slowly dissipated like fog.

He opened his eyes. He could not help but spit out a rising Inner Breath from his mouth. Then, his True Spirit entered his body and circled around the Dao bone to check the patterns. He saw that there were already more than 300 circles of patterns, as if artistic carvings had gathered on the surface of the Dao bone.

“Ever since I started cultivating, I’ve had more than 370 years of cultivation in a year and a half. This cultivation speed is not bad.”

If it were those cultivation geniuses in those powerful Dao Sects, such speed would definitely shock the entire world. However, Shen Ping appeared very calm. With many advantages, he was nothing in his eyes.

He put his fingers together. As the vitality and magic power surged, his fingertips quickly drew the word “Stabilize” in the air. Instantly, the surrounding air froze.

“Not bad, I can finally casually cast the Stabilize Body Spell. Furthermore, with my cultivation, the power of this spell is not weak. Demons and ghosts below 400 years of cultivation can’t break free.”

Shen Ping’s eyes revealed a trace of satisfaction. Although the Stabilize Body Incantation was not a very profound spell, it was very practical. Many Daoists would use this method when facing enemies. Some Daoists even treated it as their specialty.

Then, he took out two talismans from his pocket and pinched them into the shape of a paper crane. He waved his sleeve and injected vitality in his body. The paper crane suddenly became vivid and lifelike.

This was one of the Daoist communication methods, the crane messenger. It was low-level and could be easily destroyed halfway. The real way to send a message was through a talisman sword or even an immortal sword. It was said that an earth immortal could send a letter thousands of miles away with just a wooden sword.

He could also make a talisman sword now, but once he was far away, the magic power attached to it would disappear. Only a Perfected Person with 500 years of cultivation could use the vitality in his body to maintain his magic power.

“The strongest person in Changling Temple is a Perfected Person. If I cultivate for another four months, I’ll be able to catch up to the cultivation of the previous patriarchs.”

He shook his head and got up slowly. There were many Daoist temples in the world. Daoist temples like Changling Temple were very small. If not for the fact that the ancestors of the past were Perfected Persons, even the small Shanyang County would not offer incense to them.

“Senior Brother, Martial Uncle Ling Wu is here.”

As soon as he heard the sound, Shen Ping sensed Martial Uncle Ling Wu walking over from the entrance of the courtyard and quickly went up to him.

Daoist Ling Wu carried a wooden sword on his back with a solemn expression.

“Disciple Ling Zhen greets Martial Uncle.”

After bowing, Ling Wu said, “Ling Zhen, you’ve been in Shanyang for more than four months. You’ve done a good job on the errand that Senior Brother gave you. Even the Ancestral Master praised you.”

Shen Ping hurriedly said, “This is my duty.”

Ling Wu nodded and continued, “This time, I’m mainly here for the Little Lotus Seed Mountain. There’s news from Shanyang City G.o.d. Recently, the Yin qi around the Little Lotus Seed Mountain has been abnormal. Past merchants have often encountered mishaps. You should have heard of this, right?”

Little Lotus Seed Mountain was the desolate mountain where Shen Ping had first descended. This mountain was not tall, but its range was very wide. It was half the size of Mount Daliang. In addition, every summer and autumn, merchants would pa.s.s by this mountain. As time pa.s.sed, merchants would fund the construction of the Mountain G.o.d Temple and gather incense, allowing Little Lotus Seed Mountain to have a Mountain G.o.d.

Naturally, he had heard about what happened to the merchants recently. However, the Little Lotus Seed Mountain was not under the jurisdiction of Changling Temple, but the Ling Yin Temple. Therefore, he did not investigate too much.

Now that he heard his Martial Uncle mention it, He could not help but ask in confusion, “Senior Uncle, shouldn’t the Ling Yin Temple send someone over?”

Martial Uncle Ling Wu sighed. “The Ling Yin Temple has also sent someone. It’s just that to be safe, they informed my Changling Temple.”

Shen Ping came to a realization. It turned out that the Ling Yin Temple wanted Changling Temple to take the lead.

“Alright, get ready. Come with me. I’ll get the City G.o.d to take care of Shanyang County. Your two junior sisters and junior brothers will stay in Shanyang County.”

“Yes, Martial Uncle.”

He simply packed his bag and followed Martial Uncle Ling Wu to the Mountain G.o.d Temple on the Little Lotus Seed Mountain.

There was only one abandoned ancient temple in the entire mountain range, but compared to the last time Shen Ping descended, this mountain temple was even more dilapidated. The roof was covered in weeds, and the pillars in the temple had collapsed, but the mountain statue was not damaged at all. It looked dignified.

Shen Ping knew that this mountain statue was not simple. It had the protection of the mountain G.o.d.

Boom! Crack!

As soon as he stepped into the Mountain G.o.d Temple, the sky darkened and thunder rumbled.

“Where’s the mountain G.o.d?” Martial Uncle Ling Wu shouted in a low voice, his voice carrying a penetrating force. He called out a few times, but there was no response.

“Martial Uncle, will the Mountain G.o.d listen to the orders of our Daoist temple?” Shen Ping asked.

Ling Wu smiled and said, “The Mountain G.o.d, the River G.o.d, and the Dragon G.o.d of the river are mostly conferred by the imperial court. A small number of them are naturally condensed by absorbing the incense and power of the people. However, no matter what kind of deity position it is, it is born from the dragon vein of heaven and earth. The Dao cultivated by my Dao Sect is superior to the dragon vein Qi. Therefore, any deity position facing my Dao Sect will give some face..”
