Chapter 546: 304 City God_3

They ascended the steps, and the closer they got to the mountaintop, the more white cranes they encountered.

The white cranes seemed not to be afraid of humans; they didn’t scatter in a panic upon seeing people, but instead preened their feathers in a contented manner.

Unwittingly, they had arrived just below the summit.

The end of the mountain path unexpectedly opened up into a spacious cave dwelling.

Outside the cave dwelling was a garden, filled with the chirping of birds and the fragrance of flowers.

Amidst the misty ascent, white cranes strolled leisurely, making everything appear as if it were a heavenly abode.

At that moment, an old farmer was squatting in the garden, weeding.

The old farmer had an unremarkable appearance, with white hair and beard, dressed simply in coarse hemp clothes, carrying no aura of power about him.

"He is at the Nine Ox Realm!"

Jun Yao’s eyes sharpened as she discerned the old farmer’s cultivation level.

Fang Zhixing nodded and said in a low voice, "He is Yan Jingfeng’s master and has been living in seclusion here for many years."

He stepped forward slowly, cupped his hands in greeting, and said, "Junior Zhang Changji pays his respects to Elder Li."

The old farmer looked up, sizing him up before nodding with a smile. "Yan Jingfeng has written to me about you," he said.

Fang Zhixing immediately said, "Please, Elder Li, I would be forever grateful if you could help me."

As he spoke, he took out a gift. "Here is a shoot of Yingxiang Grass, a small token of my regard."

The old farmer waved his hand and said, "That won’t be necessary. I’m old now and have long lost the heart for cultivation. I have no use for such valuable things."

He repeatedly declined.

Seeing this, Fang Zhixing had no choice but to take back the gift.

The old farmer then took out a letter from his bosom and said carefully, "This is an introduction letter I wrote for you. Take it, along with my identity token, to the Five Elements Sect, and you will be registered as an outer disciple of the Five Elements Sect.

Of course, if you can pass the Five Elements Sect’s assessment, you can be promoted to an official member of the sect."

Having heard about this from Yan Jingfeng, Fang Zhixing couldn’t help but ask, "What will the Five Elements Sect assess me on?"

The old farmer replied, "It’s very simple, yet terrifying! The Yang Divine experts of the Five Elements Sect will enter your dreams, read your memories, and scrutinize everything about your past!"

Fang Zhixing was speechless for a moment. The Yang Divine entering dreams was indeed magical but also extremely disturbing.

The old farmer added, "Oh right, I’ve created a new identity for you in the letter. Your name will be An Baopu, hailing from An Family Village beneath He Ming Mountain.

The village has been destroyed by mudslides, all the villagers died, and you are the sole survivor. Afterwards, I took you in and you became my closed-door disciple."

Fang Zhixing nodded but hesitated, "But I don’t know the martial arts of the Five Elements Sect. Won’t I give myself away?"

The old farmer replied, "That won’t be difficult. I’ll teach you the ’Five Elements Mysterious Skill.’ With your current level of cultivation, a little practice will be enough to fool anyone below the Hundred Cows Realm."

With that, the old farmer handed a Technique Secret Manual to Fang Zhixing and explained in detail the methods of performing and cultivating the skill.

Fang Zhixing listened with great joy and utmost concentration.

This Five Elements Mysterious Skill was a standard cultivation technique of Taoism.

First, practice the basics. Afterwards, it divides into nine layers, corresponding to four layers of the Great Python Realm and five layers of the Five Beasts Realm.

Beyond that, it further divides into four layers of the Nine Ox Realm.

Once cultivated to the extreme, Five Elements Divine Qi emerges within the body. With the Five Elements rotating and supporting each other, endlessly generating life, it’s unfathomable like the work of spirits and has the might of heaven and earth.

As for the cultivation techniques of the Hundred Cows Realm level, naturally, the old farmer did not have access to them.

[Five Elements Mysterious Skill · Full Level Conditions:

1. Read the full text of the technique manual once (completed)]

[Conditions for full level have been achieved. Would you like to upgrade?]

Fang Zhixing smiled lightly. With his physical condition, cultivating the Five Elements Mysterious Skill was as easy as pie.

"Upgrade!"

In the blink of an eye, Fang Zhixing’s gaze blurred slightly before quickly regaining its clarity.

With just a slight tremor in his body, he had already mastered all the mysteries of the Five Elements Divine Qi.

As he breathed in and out, five-colored light immediately enveloped his body, flowing endlessly.

"This, this is the Five Elements Divine Qi!!"

The old farmer was initially taken aback and then his eyes widened in amazement. He almost dropped his jaw and exclaimed in extreme astonishment, "You, you’ve mastered it already?!"

Fang Zhixing smiled and asked, "Senior, what do you think of my practice?"

The old farmer was inwardly shocked and answered, "Hmm, your Five Elements Divine Qi is distinctly separate yet capable of merging into one, separating and uniting at will. It’s perfect."

The more the old farmer observed, the greater his inner awe, marvelling at the excellence. He clicked his tongue and said, "Even by the highest standards of the Five Elements Sect, the Five Elements Divine Qi you’ve trained is flawless, a rarity seen once in a hundred years."

Then he demonstrated his own Five Elements Divine Qi. Once released, the five colors flickered uncertainly. Yellow was the strongest, black the weakest, resulting in an imbalanced and competing state.

The comparison between the two made the disparity clear.

Fang Zhixing’s Five Elements Divine Qi was perfect and without flaw.

The old farmer’s Five Elements Divine Qi, on the other hand, was full of weaknesses and very abnormal as if it could collapse at any moment.

After a while...

The two of them, along with the dog, walked down He Ming Mountain.

"Not bad, this trip has been exceptionally smooth..."

Fang Zhixing sighed softly.

Thinking thus, he raised his left hand and channeled power into the ring.

"Fan brother, it’s me."

Fang Zhixing called out.

Before long, Fan Qiulai responded with a laugh, "Younger brother, have you arrived at He Ming Mountain?"

Fang Zhixing replied, "Yes, now I have to make a trip to the Five Elements Sect next."

Fan Qiulai answered, "Good, I’ve already made it to the capital of Dai State, ’Chiming City.’ Next, I will purchase a shop, recruit some errand runners, and you can take over directly when you return."

Fang Zhixing’s spirits lifted, and he nodded. "Pass on a message to Yan Jingfeng for me. Tell him his master is doing fine and not to worry."

"Got it, I’ve noted it down!"

The two ended their communication.

Fang Zhixing then rode Xigou, traveling in the southeast direction, exiting White Crane County and reaching Five Elements County.

Both Five Elements Mountain and the capital were within Five Elements County!

Unwittingly, Fang Zhixing had come to the heartland of Dai State...
