Shulong Daojun

Next up are Mu Qiushui, the names of three unfamiliar disciples, and Beichen from the Sishan Sect.

It is clear that one person leads one team, and seven people form a team.

The lineage to which the disciples belong encompasses the three systems of orthodox and miscellaneous studies, and their cultivation has reached the level of living immortals.

Except for Beichen.

However, although he is a longevity immortal, his name is followed by the words "extraordinary cultivation".

After examining the list for a moment and gaining some understanding, Lin Shu put it away and gave Lu Youzhi and Mu Qiushui a friendly smile.

He had just been talking about taking care of them when these two happened to be under his command.

It truly is fate, a wonderful thing.

Mu Qiushui sensed this smile, and like a slightly startled deer, her eyes, which had just been raised, lowered again.

She had originally thought that Lin Shu was a disciple who came to learn, just like herself, but unexpectedly, he turned out to be a senior who came to teach disciples.

If I encounter any difficulties in sorting out the earth's veins later, may I ask for your guidance according to etiquette?

At sunset, or in the stillness of the night?

She was thinking very seriously.

Lu Youzhi's eyelids twitched wildly, and he knew something was wrong.

There can't be such a coincidence... right?

Upon seeing Lin Shu put away the list, Shouzheng knew he understood. He immediately turned his gaze to the crowd and said in a deep voice:

"You have all come a long way and are exhausted, so go and rest properly. The five-day period has not yet arrived."

He paused slightly, then said, "Lin Shu, leave it here."

As soon as he finished speaking, a disciple on duty came out from outside the courtyard and respectfully cupped his hands.

Lu Youzhi and the others did not hesitate. After rising and bowing, they left the courtyard and headed to another place.

As soon as everyone dispersed, Lin Shu spoke up, asking with concern, "Uncle-Master, I wonder how my master is doing now?"

Has the injury improved? Has he regained consciousness? Is he in serious condition?

Shouzheng sighed inwardly, his gaze gentle, and comforted him, "Junior Brother Baoyi is still well."

Although he had not yet woken up, his vital energy had stabilized, his immortal rank had not fallen, and his earth immortal body had been completely healed with the help of Senior Brother Yi Xuan.

"Don't worry, junior disciple, he'll wake up soon."

After saying that, he raised his hand and placed it on Lin Shu's shoulder, patting it gently. He said with a firm tone, "With your uncle here, don't panic. Just focus on your cultivation."

Then, without waiting for Lin Shu to speak, he went on to reveal some hidden and safe locations of ley line fractures.

He stated that he had obtained the information by eliminating evil spirits recently, and that it had not yet been marked on this version of the topographic map.

Once the seven-day rotation and regular rationing period begins, a new version of the topographic map will be updated and handed over to the instructors.

If you are not very confident at the beginning of teaching, you can take your disciples to try it out and proceed step by step for a few days.

Lin Shu silently memorized everything and secretly compared it with the records on the earth vein model to identify the differences.

Using safety as a pretext, they also took the opportunity to ask about the general distribution of evil spirits.

After a moment's thought, Shouzheng did not refuse and told him what he could.

Then, as if remembering something, he spoke again: "Senior Brother Yi Xuan has already taken action to deter this place."

Even if the powerful demons at the Earth Immortal level who were driven here were unwilling and resentful, they would behave themselves during this period and dare not make any rash moves.

In his spare time while teaching disciples, the master can also devote himself to opening up the earth's veins and accumulating merit.

Great chaos precedes great order, and this is especially true now, when peace has not yet been achieved.

Shouzheng shook his head and muttered to himself.

He then raised his hand and summoned a disciple, signaling him to lead Lin Shu away to rest, while he sat down alone.

Lin Shu didn't say much, but bowed respectfully and turned to leave.

To be honest, the smell of alcohol on Uncle Shouzheng was several times stronger than usual.

After settling down, I remained seated for a long time.

Shouzheng pulled the wine gourd from his waist, tilted his head back and poured it over himself, saying in a low voice, "When everyone realizes I'm drunk, that will be the moment I'm fully awake."

It's hard to discern people's true intentions; only you know how much is genuine and how much is fake.

Senior Brother Yi Xuan said that Junior Brother Bao Yi would wake up soon, but when exactly is "soon"?

After speaking and pondering for a moment, he got up and left his seat, continuing his routine inspection of the defenses of various outposts.

However, the words that "Elder Shouzheng is drunk again today" spread more and more widely among the disciples and deacons.

Before you know it, the five-day deadline has arrived.

After the disciple on duty gave the order, Lin Shu walked out of the resting courtyard and headed towards the place where the disciples were gathered.

Beside him stood Chang Geng, his robes neatly arranged and his face filled with excitement, along with about a dozen middle-aged men with kind and honest appearances.

During his few days of rest, Lin Shu was not idle.

He had already used the guise of exploration to visit several locations with ruptured veins that suited his taste, conduct on-site inspections, and select a "superior" site.

Then, he found a place nearby where evil spirits gathered, and took the opportunity to put the Candle Shadow into it, where it feasted on it as an appetizer, waiting for its own arrival.

After days of waiting, the moment of feasting has finally arrived.

After traveling for a short while, Lin Shu arrived at a spacious place.

About a hundred disciples were sitting cross-legged on prayer mats, meditating.

A deacon held the "General Record of Cultivation Disciples" in his hand, dipped his brush in ink, and sometimes nodded, sometimes frowned.

As Lin Shu and the others approached, he closed the list in his hand, stepped forward, and said with a faint smile, "I'll be relying on you all for the next month or so."

Without further ado, he walked up to the disciples, helped them to their feet, and introduced Lin Shu and the others to them one by one.

After the matter was over, he stood with his beard and hair standing on end, his gaze sweeping over the crowd, and said in a cold voice: "You should also know the principle of 'the accomplished are teachers'."

During the teaching period, I hope you will respect your teacher and the Way, and diligently strive to improve yourself, so as not to tarnish the name of your lineage.

The disciples' expressions tightened, and they quickly cupped their hands in greeting.

The deacon nodded slightly and said, "In that case, you may now pay your respects to your master."

After saying that, he stepped aside and smiled slightly at Lin Shu and the others.

The disciples immediately bowed and said in unison, "We greet our teacher."

After he finished speaking, Lin Shu and the others nodded and smiled.

Seeing this, the deacon nodded and, following the rules, called out names one by one from the list.

First, the name of the instructor is announced, followed by the name of the student. Those whose names are called then step forward and line up.

Shortly afterward, the assignments were completed.

After giving a few more instructions, the deacon turned and left to attend to other matters.

Lin Shu greeted Chang Geng and the people he had become acquainted with over the past few days, then wrapped Lu Youzhi and the others up and transformed into a gentle breeze, leaving the main camp and heading towards that "excellent" place.

Although Fuyuan has become a place where the Dao, demons, and evil spirits converge, evil spirits are rampant everywhere and turbid evil energy surges all over the place, like a curtain that has been torn to shreds.

However, the righteous gods who are responsible for protecting the land and water of all regions are still alive.

Together with the magic array protecting the earth's veins, it was barely able to protect a small area, becoming the only place of survival for the remaining people in this region.

Like a candle in the dark, it can illuminate a corner, but you never know when it will go out.

After passing through several places, Lin Shu finally stopped at the mouth of a bottomless abyss.

He then materialized, smiled at Lu Youzhi and the others who looked tense after landing, and said, "No need to be so reserved."

Although I am your teacher, I am not necessarily older than you all. You may address me as fellow Daoist.

"Is that right, Brother Beichen?"

Having said that, he smiled and looked at one of the figures.
