Chapter 548: 305 Five Elements_2

Fang Zhixing replied, "Wang Peng probably doesn’t know this old man is a big shot."

The white-robed elder walked over to a table, sat down, flipped open a thick book, and beckoned, "Come here, who wants to recognize their kin?"

Fang Zhixing stepped forward, rendered a casual salute, and then handed over his introductory letter and identity token, saying solemnly, "Junior An Baopu, my mentor is Li Qunying from He Ming Mountain."

The white-robed old man turned the pages of the book, and after a while, he found Li Qunying’s name.

Then he carefully checked the introductory letter and identity token, nodding and saying, "Hmm, Li Qunying is indeed a formal member of my Azure Dragon Peak, and he is qualified to train outer sect disciples. However, there are so many outer sect disciples, and not everyone is qualified to recognize their ancestors and return to the clan..."

Fang Zhixing understood and quickly handed over a beautifully embroidered box with an Evil Exorcism Plant inside.

It was the one that the Swamp Dharma King had given him.

This was a "Reunion Gift," and later there should be a "Kowtow Ceremony."

As soon as the embroidered box opened, a wave of Yin energy surged forth.

Wang Peng, who was drinking tea, suddenly looked up, his eyes wide with excitement, and he became restless.

The white-robed elder’s eyes brightened, he quickly put away the embroidered box, and said with great joy, "Haha, I see in you an outstanding talent and an understanding of propriety, truly a rare talent with great potential.

Therefore, in recognition of your sincere heart, I will make an exception today and allow you to recognize your ancestors and return to the clan."

Fang Zhixing continuously thanked the elder, "Many thanks to my senior."

The white-robed elder registered An Baopu’s name in the ledger, then turned and walked through a door at the back.

Soon, he returned holding a set of light cyan Daoist robe and a white jade token.

"An Baopu, change into this Five Elements Taoist Robe and take this jade token to the statue of our ancestral master. Give a bow, and thereafter, you shall be considered an outer sect member of the Five Elements Sect," said the white-robed elder with a smile as he stroked his beard.

Fang Zhixing nodded in acknowledgment.

The white-robed elder continued, "Remember, although you are in the outer sect, you must still abide by the rules of the Five Elements Sect.

Furthermore, you may act on behalf of the Five Elements Sect outside, but that’s the limit.

If you wish to receive the protection of the Five Elements Sect, you must pay an additional loyalty fee, once a year. After that, no matter what troubles you encounter over the course of the year, you can seek the help of the Five Elements Sect."

Fang Zhixing had already been aware of these matters and answered promptly, "Understood."

Afterwards, he followed Wang Peng out of the sundry hall.

Wang Peng directly leaped onto the back of a mountain ghost, and Fang Zhixing and the others got on as well.

"Let’s descend the mountain!"

At Wang Peng’s command, the mountain ghost turned its head and started running down the mountain.

Fang Zhixing asked with surprise, "Don’t we still need to go bow before the statue of the ancestral master?"

Wang Peng’s face showed an indifferent expression as he shook his head and said, "It’s midday now, and the people in the ancestral hall should have gone for their meal. Even if we go there, it would be useless.

Besides, bowing is just a ritual. It’s not a big deal if you skip it. After all, you’re just an outer sect member. Do you think the ancestral master would care whether you have bowed to him or not?"

Fang Zhixing was left speechless.

Well, it saved him a step, and it saved him a gift.

Just as he was considering this, Wang Peng reached out his hand with a grave expression, "However, we cannot omit the Kowtow Ceremony Gift. Otherwise, the people at the ancestral hall will have opinions."

Fang Zhixing smiled, took out a mottled long sword from his bag, and sincerely handed it over, "Please accept this gift, Senior Brother Wang."

Wang Peng frowned, inspected the long sword carefully, and said dissatisfiedly, "This is a broken piece, isn’t it?"

Fang Zhixing hastened to say, "This is a genuine fourth-level low-grade weapon. Although it is damaged, with a bit of repair, it can be restored to its former glory."

"Fourth level!!"

Wang Peng’s expression changed dramatically, he took a deep breath, drew the long sword, and began caressing it back and forth, his expression growing increasingly excited.

He was oblivious to the faint trace of blackish-red blood on the blade that had touched his hand and was seeping into his skin.

The mountain ghost ran down the mountain at full speed, but suddenly slowed down.

They saw a bigger mountain ghost coming up from below, carrying two figures on its back.

"Move aside quickly!"

Wang Peng was startled and hastily scolded the mountain ghost, kicking it.

The mountain ghost moved to the side of the road and lay down.

Wang Peng bowed his head respectfully, and didn’t dare to breathe too loudly.

The other mountain ghost approached rapidly, the two people on its back chatting and laughing with ease, as if oblivious to the surroundings.

But suddenly, one of them took an extra glance...

Jun Yao!

"Eh, such a strong destiny aura!"

A startled cry rang out, and the mountain ghost immediately halted.

The two riders on its back revealed their true faces, a middle-aged man and woman.

The middle-aged woman, dressed in a yin-yang Daoist robe, had piercing eyes as she stared at Jun Yao, as if she had found a precious treasure.

"Junior sister, if I’m not mistaken, she has the ’Seven Stars Solitary Killing’ life chart!"

The middle-aged Daoist next to her showed a hint of astonishment and clicked his tongue, "Considering the strength of her destiny aura, she must have already survived three deadly ordeals."

The middle-aged woman nodded, "A miracle! Truly extraordinary! Logically, she should have died already!"

The two of them talked back and forth, jumped off the back of the ghost, and gestured, "Little girl, come down."

Jun Yao glanced at Fang Zhixing and ignored them.

Wang Peng was shocked and scolded, "What are you dazing for, hurry down and pay your respects to the two Elders!"

Jun Yao remained indifferent.

Wang Peng, becoming impatient, stood up and reached out to pull Jun Yao.

Thud!

A foot suddenly kicked over!

Before Wang Peng could see clearly, he was kicked off and fell flat on his face.

Fang Zhixing appeared unmoved, he gave the middle-aged man and woman a light sigh.

"Go on down."

He jumped down first, followed closely by Jun Yao and Xigou.

The middle-aged woman glanced at Wang Peng and smiled, asking, "Who are you two?"

Fang Zhixing produced a white jade token and briefly said, "Outside sect member An Baopu, and she is my younger sister Jun Yao."

The middle-aged woman’s eyes flickered, and she laughed lightly, "The jade token has not been blessed, you haven’t gone to kowtow to the master’s statue yet, have you?"

"Blessing..."

Fang Zhixing was momentarily stunned before he glanced at Wang Peng with immense disdain filling his pupils.

Clearly, kowtowing to the master’s statue could bless the jade token, granting some kind of benefit.

But this scoundrel Wang Peng...

The middle-aged woman seemed to understand everything and smiled, "I am Qi Huazhen, an Elder of Azure Dragon Peak, and this is Elder Zang Wengong."

Fang Zhixing stood with his hands behind his back and inquired, "What guidance do the Elders have by stopping my sister?"

It was then that Wang Peng climbed up, spat out the mud in his mouth, and caught sight of Fang Zhixing standing unfazed in front of the two Elders, calm and composed, leaving him completely dumbfounded.

Qi Huazhen slowly said, "Your sister’s life chart is very unique, and she could be facing a major life-or-death ordeal at any time. Are you aware of this?"

Fang Zhixing raised an eyebrow, "What is a life chart?"

Qi Huazhen continued, "A life chart is the pattern of a person’s destiny. For example, if someone’s life chart belongs to water, it is best to choose to live near water, or they may encounter misfortune."

Fang Zhixing found it mystical, sounding somewhat superstitious.

Xigou also couldn’t help but complain, "This Taoist stuff is really freaking hard to understand."

Fang Zhixing remained silent for a moment before asking, "What life chart do you see in me?"

Qi Huazhen’s gaze intensified, and she momentarily held her breath.

She tilted her head and whispered, "Elder Zang, take a look."

Zang Wengong’s expression turned serious as he formed hand seals.

In an instant, a light gathered on his brow and coalesced into a Dharma Eye, sacred and majestic in its brilliance.

The Dharma Eye stared intently at Fang Zhixing, and after a long while, it extinguished.

Zang Wengong’s face turned solemn, his brows furrowed into a knot, and he shook his head at Qi Huazhen.

Qi Huazhen took a deep breath and said, "Your life chart is even more peculiar, likely the rare ’Dark Killing Fate’, elusive and unobservable."

Fang Zhixing smiled, not pursuing the matter further, but asked, "So, where does my sister’s life-or-death ordeal come from?"

Qi Huazhen replied, "No matter where she is, she always encounters life-threatening crises. We could tell that she has faced three great ordeals, each time with people dying because of her!"

Jun Yao thought for a moment and said softly, "When I was a child, I was attacked by wild beasts, and my brother died protecting me. Since then, my parents despised me and sold me to human traffickers. After that, I met you..."
