Divine fortune teller and traditional Chinese medicine doctor

"Senior sister, what's the solution?"

The three, including the skinny Daoist, asked in unison.

"What you may not know is that this Reverse Heaven-Sealing Secret Technique has a derivative secret technique called Initiating Redemption," the beautiful Daoist cultivator said.

"Initiating redemption? A derivative secret technique? I've never heard of that before! Senior sister, how did you know?"

"Yes, this is the first time I've heard of a derivative secret technique."

"Senior sister, you were the one who taught us this secret technique, so why have you never mentioned any derivative secret techniques?"

The other three Daoist cultivators, while resisting the protective aura, asked in surprise.

"In my opinion, this derivative secret technique would never be useful, so I have never told you about it or taught it to you. However, now that we are in such an awkward and dangerous situation, only this derivative secret technique can save our lives."

"Senior sister, what is this 'Initiating Redemption'? How do I cast it?"

The skinny Taoist asked.

"Initiating Redemption is very simple, almost the same as when we jointly cast the Reverse Heaven-Covering Sealing Secret Technique before. The only difference is that we don't need to form a sealing light shield; instead, I will guide your souls to initiate Redemption. The process of guiding is not difficult either; you will learn it in no time," the beautiful Daoist cultivator said.

"What are the powers and effects of this derivative secret technique?"

"Yes, what happens after this redemption is cast?"

The obese Taoist cultivator and the burly female Taoist cultivator quickly asked.

"After casting the Redemption Secret Technique, the soul oath relationship between us and Li Mu will be transformed by the Heavenly Dao into a close soul bond. This close soul bond means that we will forcibly establish a relationship with Li Mu that is similar to that of family. As for the specific nature of this kinship, we cannot control it; it is up to the Heavenly arrangement. Furthermore, after casting the Redemption Secret Technique, all the cultivation power we lose due to the backlash from violating the soul oath will be transferred by the power of Heaven and Earth to the person with whom we made the soul oath, namely Li Mu."

"Huh? This... this means that once the Redemption Technique is used, that little bastard will not only become our family, but will also gain a portion of our cultivation power?!"

The skinny Daoist's eyes widened in disbelief.

"That's right."

"My God, how can such an unbelievable secret technique exist?"

The burly female Taoist was equally astonished, her eyes widening in surprise.

"Damn it, this is way too good for that little brat Li Mu! Not only did he establish a kinship with the Four Sages of the Western Regions, but his cultivation level also skyrocketed!? This is simply outrageous!"

The obese Taoist cultivator was so shocked and angry that he wanted to slap his thigh.

"Yes, initiating this redemption technique has indeed greatly benefited Li Mu. But, it's our only way out now. Of course, it's a joint technique; I can't perform it myself without your cooperation. I won't force you; the choice is yours."

The beautiful Daoist cultivator nodded and said.

"Senior sister, what about Li Mu? Can he accept the kinship relationship he's formed with us?"

After pondering for a moment, the burly female Taoist asked.

"As I just said, this is a kinship relationship forcibly established between us by the Heavenly Dao, which it cannot resist or refuse. Once this close relationship is established, no matter how hostile we were before, all hatred will be wiped away, and both of us will see each other as family from the depths of our souls. It's just that what kind of kinship relationship we will ultimately develop is uncertain."

"So, it's possible that we could become brothers and sisters? Master and disciple? Or even mother and daughter or father and son?" the fat Daoist asked, blinking.

"Damn it! What if that little brat Li Mu becomes our father?"

The skinny Daoist looked helpless and worried.

"It would be better if he became our father; the greatest tragedy would be if he became our master and we became his puppets!"

"That's what the burly female Taoist priest said."

"We will not establish a master-servant relationship between us. Because a master-servant relationship is not a kinship relationship. You can rest assured about that. This kind of soul bond will not turn either of us into a soul puppet; both sides are completely free. Think carefully: do you choose to live and establish a soul bond with Li Mu, or do you choose to be forever bound and strangled by the Nine Purple Heavenly Fiend Qi until we die? Whatever you choose, I will respect your choice," the beautiful Daoist cultivator said solemnly.

"As the saying goes, it's better to live a wretched life than to die a good death! Besides, this kind of death isn't exactly a pleasant one! In that case, I'll definitely choose to use the Redemption Secret Technique. It's just too easy on that little bastard Li Mu!"

The skinny Daoist was the first to express his opinion.

"Yes, Second Senior Brother is right. As long as the green hills remain, there will always be firewood. Although I hate Li Mu, that little bastard, to the core, our lives are of utmost importance. We cannot choose to die just to spite this insignificant ant. I also agree to use the Redemption Secret Technique!" The fat Daoist cultivator added.

"Since my second and third senior brothers agree, then I agree too."

The burly female Taoist also quickly spoke up.

Even though they are all extraordinary and powerful beings, ants still try to survive, so how could they not be afraid of death?

Seeing that her fellow disciples all agreed to use the Redemption Technique, the beautiful Daoist cultivator naturally breathed a sigh of relief.

It's quite simple; she also tends to choose to use the secret technique that initiates redemption.

If we were to say who among these four people felt anything other than hatred towards Li Mu, it would only be her.

Previously, she and Li Mu had reached the realm of soul fusion. Even though their strengths were vastly different, Li Mu's Qiankun Sacred Technique, combined with his Yin-Yang Yuanhun power, caused this female powerhouse, who had never felt affection for any man in countless years, to experience an extremely rare and precious moment of emotional connection.

Although the emotion wasn't very obvious, the beautiful Daoist cultivator could clearly sense it, which surprised her greatly, and even made her feel a little excited and thrilled.

For someone like her, who has lived for countless years, a love affair might be more magical and precious than any other chance encounter.

That's why she hadn't planned to kill Li Mu, who had already lost his usefulness.

She originally planned to capture and control non-Five Elements beings, and then keep Li Mu by her side, even if it was just to use him as her dual cultivation vessel.

But who could have imagined that it was precisely because of her slight emotional stirring that Li Mu had the opportunity to "turn the tables"?

Now, forced by circumstances to establish a close spiritual relationship with Li Mu, it's not actually something she can't accept.

"Well, since you all agree to use the Redemption Technique, let's set up a defensive shield to block these energies, and then we'll begin the spell."

The beautiful Daoist cultivator looked at her three junior brothers and sisters and spoke earnestly.
