Fairy, I'm going to control you tightly!

"What did that traitor you captured do to make the Dao Sect so determined to bring him back, and even punish him with death?"

Zhang Qingmiao sighed.

"He was a senior brother of mine. He went astray in his cultivation and altered the Daoist Seal Technique, making the technique dominated by the slaughter of blood energy. Naturally, this was not tolerated by our Daoist Sect. But in reality, its power was just so-so, and it was easy for it to backfire on him."

Ji Nanbei nodded.

"That old man is wasting his talents by sending me out to arrest him. How infuriating! All I did was pluck two of his Daoist Purple Bamboo. He's just seeking revenge. He has no sense of respect for elders at all. Don't you agree, Fellow Daoist Ji?"

Ji Nanbei shook his head.

That's ridiculous! It has absolutely no class.

Is this how you criticize the Dao Sect Master, the Purple-Robed Celestial Master?

Ji Nanbei truly felt a headache for that Taoist master.

Why did you take on such a disciple?

However, the general process was the same as Ji Nanbei had guessed.

Zhang Qingmiao was indeed punished and sent out.

"Going astray in cultivation, changing the hand seals..."

Ji Nanbei pondered.

That man in black robes was in a pretty bad state too.

Lacking talent, he modified a cultivation technique, creating an evil art that was intolerable to the cultivation world.

That thing can't be called demonic skill; it can only be called evil skill.

Strange.

"Oh? Fellow Daoist, are you perhaps interested in my Dao Sect's Dao Seal Technique?"

Zhang Qingmiao thought Ji Nanbei was interested when she heard him reciting the Dao Seal Technique.

Just as Ji Nanbei was about to shake his head, he heard Zhang Qingmiao say:

"As long as you promise not to spread it, there's no problem lending you the Dao Seal Technique for a look."

Ji Nanbei was taken aback.

Dao Yin Jue—this sounds like a secret technique of the Daoist sect.

Is this something that you can just show to anyone?

Seemingly sensing Ji Nanbei's hesitation, Zhang Qingmiao added:

"Fellow Daoist, don't let my appearance fool you. I actually have some influence within the Dao Sect. Although the Dao Seal Technique is a secret technique of our Dao Sect, it is not the core. As long as it is not passed on to outsiders, I can still decide whether to let you take a look."

Ji Nanbei chuckled.

"We've only just met, and you already trust me so much, Little Celestial Master? I know you, aren't you afraid I'm deliberately getting close to you to seek some benefit?"

Whether or not the matter is leaked depends on Ji Nanbei's character.

Zhang Qingmiao nodded.

"After all, Fellow Daoist Ji saved the lives of my Dao Sect disciples. My old man would probably allow you to take a look if he knew."

The Taoist sect has a grand and majestic spirit.

In fact, Zhang Qingmiao has some trump cards up her sleeve, so she's unlikely to get into any trouble among the beasts.

However, it's hard to say about other true disciples of the Daoist sect.

Therefore, if the Celestial Master were to make the decision on this matter, his attitude would probably not differ much from Zhang Qingmiao's.

As for the side stories.

If the Daoist sect's cultivation methods are leaked out, the Daoist sect will naturally come after you.

Even if they don't target you, they'll cause trouble for those who have learned Taoist techniques.

At that time, even if they have learned the secret techniques, they will not dare to show them in front of others.

As I said before, the Daoist sect has its own grandeur.

Ji Nanbei nodded.

At this moment, he truly had a different understanding of this young celestial master.

He gifted Xiao Jingxi a precious Daoist-inspired purple bamboo, along with his own secret Daoist cultivation techniques.

Putting everything else aside, Zhang Qingmiao is undoubtedly the best friend she can be.

"Then thank you very much, Little Celestial Master."

"Hey, just call me Qingmiao. I don't have many friends, and I'm so glad to have made friends with Gu..."

I'm so happy to have a friend like you, fellow Daoist!

Zhang Qingmiao smiled genuinely with joy.

Zhang Qingmiao truly keeps her word.

Coincidentally, she had a copy of the Dao Seal Technique in her storage ring.

Without much hesitation, Zhang Qingmiao handed the rubbing directly to Ji Nanbei.

Ji Nanbei didn't say much.

Ji Nanbei took the rubbing of the seal directly and began to look at it on the way.

Ji Nanbei has made Zhang Qingmiao his friend.

Now that we've decided to be friends, there's less room for calculation between friends.

Ji Nanbei has always been like this.

Moreover, Zhang Qingmiao didn't want to disturb Ji Nanbei while he was comprehending the cultivation technique.

It's finally quiet down.

After Ji Nanbei glanced through the rubbing, he gained an understanding of the Dao Seal Technique.

This martial art focuses on offensive techniques.

The seal carries a righteous spirit and possesses overwhelming and domineering power.

Moreover, this hand seal technique does bear some resemblance to another technique in Ji Nanbei's possession.

It was the Heavenly Fox Seal that Ji Nanbei obtained from Su Qianxue.

Both are seal techniques, and although they come from two top forces, they have something in common.

With a systematic background, Ji Nanbei naturally memorized the incantation with ease.

Actually, after scanning it once, Ji Nanbei could put the rubbing down.

however

Why make things worse when you finally get a moment of peace and quiet?

So Ji Nanbei carried the rubbing and walked all the way.

There were no further unexpected events along the way.

Unlike the Southern Barbarians, the Eastern Continent allows travel on main roads, making its journey much faster than Ji Nanbei's previous one.

"By the way, where in the Eastern Continent does Fellow Daoist Ji plan to settle down?"

Zhang Qingmiao suddenly asked.

Now that we've entered the Eastern Continent, we need a direction.

There's still a long time until the Cultivation World Grand Competition, so we can't just wander around aimlessly, going wherever the wind takes us.

Moreover, the first round of the Cultivation World Grand Competition.

This is the game of capturing the flag from the clouds, and the rules are quite unique.

It will be held within the Eastern Continent, but it may not necessarily start in a specific location.

Only when the grand competition is approaching will all the disciples participating in the Cloud-Piercing Flag-Capturing Battle know where to participate.

At that time, the small flag-like token will guide the disciples to the battlefield.

The first round of battles has always taken place in a special little world.

The entrance is in the East Continent, not the venue.

This is also to prevent cheating, and arrangements are made in advance within the competition venue.

In short, it's not time to go to the specific location yet; we can only wait within the Dongzhou area.

Ji Nanbei put down the rubbing of the Dao Seal Technique, and instead of directly answering Zhang Qingmiao's question, he asked in return:

"Oh, does the young celestial master have any recommendations? This Eastern Continent is so vast, I'm not familiar with it at all."

Zhang Qingmiao perked up immediately upon hearing this.

"Yes! Of course! For example, the most prosperous place in the Eastern Continent, the Immortal Capital! That is a truly wonderful place. The royal palace of the Eastern Continent Immortal Dynasty is located in the Immortal Capital. It can be described as: 'The market is filled with pearls and jewels, and every household is overflowing with silk and brocade, vying in extravagance.'"

Ji Nanbei nodded, then shook his head.

"The Immortal Capital is naturally exceptionally prosperous, but the Cultivation Grand Competition cannot be held near the Immortal Capital. It's likely that even other disciples wouldn't be able to see it from there."

Zhang Qingmiao then realized that the two of them hadn't gone to Dongzhou for fun.

"What Fellow Daoist Ji said makes sense."

After thinking for a moment, Zhang Qingmiao suddenly revealed a mischievous smile.

"Then, what about Jiangchun City? Jiangchun is a nurturing place, with spring-like weather all year round. Although it can't compare to the prosperity of Xiandu, it has its own unique local customs and culture."

Ji Nanbei was taken aback.

Zhang Qingmiao's guess was accurate.

He was indeed going to Jiangchun City on this trip.

Ji Nanbei simply nodded in agreement.

"Then let's go to Jiangchun City."
