"Hey, hey, hey, you over there, kid, what are you doing?"

Xu Guang looked the person up and down, who seemed to have no feelings for General Wei at all.

"How should I address this Daoist Priest?"

As he spoke, he placed some silver under the temple shrine.

The Daoist's expression softened slightly, "Luo Sheng."

"Drawing lots or divination?"

While speaking, the Daoist actually took out the Six Divination for fortune-telling and a bamboo tube for drawing lots.

"Draw first, then divine."

The Daoist nodded, "That would cost extra."

Xu Guang: ...

Is this Daoist priest really a master?

Xu Guang said nothing, placed another ingot of silver, and then casually drew a stick from the bamboo tube.

"The worst lot."

Daoist Luo Sheng lowered his voice, as if afraid of being overheard, "Want to change your fate?"

Change fate?

Xu Guang was a little surprised, could this Daoist really be a master?

"Change!"

"The Three Lords say the affinity is insufficient."

Out of silver, Xu Guang simply took out a gold bean.

The Daoist, however, pushed the bamboo tube forward again, "Draw again."

"Still the worst lot, needs changing."

Xu Guang's expression had become a bit strange.

Is this person really not a fraud?

"I want the best fate, Daoist Priest, just name your price."

Daoist Luo Sheng actually fell into thought, pointing to the Swallowing Corpse Flesh on General Wei's back.

"Cut five pounds for me, this flesh is rare, the Three Lords would surely like it too."

Xu Guang's eyes narrowed, "Daoist Priest, do you know what this is?"

Daoist Luo Sheng smiled without saying a word.

"Fine!"

Daoist Luo Sheng nodded with a smile, "Among all lots, the best is the highest lot. You've been generous, so I will defy the heavens today and alter your fate to grant you the highest lot."

He reached into his robe, then handed Xu Guang a bamboo stick with the words 'highest lot' written on it.

Xu Guang: ...

He looked at the other lot barrel, "So, there isn't a highest lot in there?"

Daoist Luo Sheng's face turned solemn, "Extreme prosperity must lead to decline, to have someone draw the highest lot, wouldn't that be harmful?"

Xu Guang was utterly speechless.

"Then please, Daoist Priest, read my fortune."

Daoist Luo Sheng had a look as if he was seeing an idiot, "You already have the fate of the highest lot, turning misfortune to fortune, dangers into blessings, what is there to divine?"

But just then, he suddenly paused, a look of horror appearing on his face,

he suddenly turned around.

He seemed more like a fraud now.

Xu Guang had thought he would utter some foolish words like having a dark brow or blood calamity, but he didn't expect it.

"The cold light of armor reflected on the stormy waves of Cangming, the roar of a tiger shifted in the earth's movement. Once the golden carriage entered the jade fortress, it drove the mountains to the human world."

As he spoke, the Daoist walked as if possessed by spirits, with a peculiar Daoist charm about him.

Xu Guang finally showed a bit more seriousness, "Dare I ask, Daoist Priest, what does this mean?"

Daoist Luo Sheng gave Xu Guang an odd look, "Your year, month, day, and hour clash in the Four Pillars, originally from the Seven Destruction Vein, holding great fortune, hence this life-reading poem, it is the intention of the Three Lords, for you, young friend, to understand on your own."

Xu Guang was silent, but in his heart, he was greatly shaken.

Might this Daoist really have seen something?

"Thank you, Daoist Priest."

After thinking for a moment, "I intend to learn some truths of the Daoist School, I humbly ask the Daoist Priest to teach me!"

"You already have the Three Lords' life-reading, I cannot take you as a disciple, but if you're willing to discuss Taoism with me, you're welcome."

Xu Guang bowed and cupped his fists.

He left nearly ten pounds of Swallowing Corpse Flesh.

"Keep this meat with you, prepare it and bring it to me next time."

Xu Guang: ...

He couldn't quite see through this Daoist, but one thing was certain, he was no simple man. Xu Guang turned and left.

Yet, upon leaving Jingming Temple, he silently recited the life-reading poem that the Daoist had spoken, suddenly feeling a clarity of mind, as if heaven and earth were right in front of him, his spirit nearly one with the Dao.

Many memories in his mind, previously forgotten or overlooked as if happened yesterday, were exceptionally clear.

In addition, his whole body had a sense of a shackle being released.

Truly extraordinary.

Could he really be... a sage?

...

After Xu Guang left, the Daoist moved his palm slightly, taking out the two worst lots that Xu Guang had drawn. As he flipped his palm, a black and red blood qi appeared above, slithering like a little snake.

"Didn't see wrong, it really is the Ancestral Blood Curse?"

"So young, yet already entangled with a Celestial Destiny Sect Master, interesting, interesting."

"Since you are connected with the Jade Cicada, I shall help suppress this Ancestral Blood Curse for you."

He developed a bit of interest in Xu Guang.

"Cultivating the Jade Cicada's cultivation technique, protected by a Dragon Elephant, and entangled with the karma of the Celestial Destiny Sect, haha."

The Daoist calculated with his five fingers, "The Buddhist Sect's Ullambana Dharma Assembly occurs every thirty-three years, and this time it seems Baoxiang Temple is hosting, right?"

His smile grew more intrigued.

...

Xu Guang did not know that he had been cursed by a Celestial Destiny Sect Master, otherwise, he would have hurried to Jiufeng Mountain long ago to be a dog.

Nor would he know that Daoist Luo Sheng's life-reading poem, upon each recitation, could suppress the Celestial Destiny Sect's Ancestral Blood Curse.

He only vaguely felt that this trip to Jingming Temple was immensely beneficial, perhaps surpassing the great gains from slaying the Swallowing Corpse.

For the next three days, Xu Guang spent every morning in Qingshuo County gaining experience, and in the afternoons seeking advice from Daoist Luo Sheng.

Dealing with the Swallowing Corpse Flesh was somewhat troublesome, as ordinary flames couldn't cook it, so Xu Guang directly used alchemy methods, adding some Seventh-Grade Treasure Medicine, refining it into fist-sized Flesh Pills.

The energy was pure, one pill could sustain a person for a day.

Ultimately, he walked the path of creating high-energy snacks.

But General Wei was quite satisfied with the Flesh Pills, managing to eat one a day, unable to give up its habit of grazing on leaves and grass blades even though it was an innate spirit charm being and no longer affected by a diet of meat or vegetables.

In the end, Xu Guang went to Jingming Temple every day, always bringing some of the Swallowing Corpse Flesh for Daoist Luo Sheng.

Daoist Luo Sheng was an amusing person, and at first thought Xu Guang knew too little, immediately handing him several Daoist tomes to study carefully.

Xu Guang read very attentively, even taking notes, more seriously than he had ever prepared for the college entrance exam.

Before leaving, Daoist Luo Sheng patted General Wei on the back with a hand, where the Swallowing Corpse Flesh was, then quickly stepped back.

Xu Guang paid no attention.

But just as he was leaving Jingming Temple and making his way back to Qingshuo County,

General Wei let out a low roar.

...

Unexpectedly, after swallowing the Corpse-Devouring Inner Pill and the Cross Bone, General Wei had undergone miraculous changes in a short amount of time, far exceeding Xu Guang's expectations. Although General Wei was originally an Innate being, requiring significant time to refine it, the process happened much quicker.

Xu Guang continuously encouraged General Wei, while using his own Seventh-Grade Elixir, tossing them repeatedly.

Half a day.

The scales on General Wei's body began to open, emitting strands of golden light, almost forming a divine aura!

Yes, a divine aura!

With General Wei's enormous build, the glow made it look almost divine!

Indeed, divine!

"Ah Wei, what's the use of this sacred light?"

General Wei's long nose sniffed, curling the giant leaves of the trees behind Xu Guang, then producing a mental link with him.

After understanding, Xu Guang was left with only one thought in his heart.

"Ah Wei, is this divine light useful in any way?"

General Wei's long trunk moved, curling up the leaves of the giant trees behind Xu Guang and, through a spiritual link, transferring the information to him.

After understanding its efficacy, Xu Guang's heart held only one thought.

This treasure light was able to cause immense damage to Fierce Ghost Yin Attributes, effectively entering the Ghostly Land as if it were uninhabited.
