Liao Tianlin touched his bulbous nose.

"Oh? Is that so?"

Chen Yuan didn't ask any further questions.

"By the way, Brother Chen, that girl seems to be a disciple of the Kun Dao Academy of the Sanyuan Palace."

Liao Tianlin's gaze shifted to the girl in black.

"Sanyuan Palace Kun Dao Academy?"

Chen Yuan was somewhat surprised.

Could they be Taoist disciples who worship the Three Officials?

The Three Officials, also known as the Three Primal Emperors, are a collective term for the Heavenly Official, Earthly Official, and Water Official, and are among the earliest deities worshipped in Taoism. The *Complete History of Immortals* states that the Three Officials were three sons of the Primordial Heavenly Venerable, originally the Three Primal Essences, who were bestowed the title of Three Officials. The Primordial Heavenly Venerable sent them to the mortal realm to govern the world impartially; these are the legendary figures Yao, Shun, and Yu. During the Northern and Southern Dynasties, the Three Officials were combined with the Three Primal Elements. It is said that on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the First-Rank Nine Qi Blessing Heavenly Official, Ziwei Emperor, from the Upper Primal Palace, would come to the mortal realm to inspect and assess sins and blessings; on the fifteenth day of the seventh lunar month, the Second-Rank Seven Qi Pardoning Earthly Official, Qingxu Emperor, from the Middle Primal Palace, would come to the mortal realm to assess sins and blessings; and on the fifteenth day of the tenth lunar month, the Third-Rank Five Qi Relief Water Official, Fusang Emperor, from the Lower Primal Palace, would come to the mortal realm to assess sins and blessings.

Among the Taoist temples that Wang Xinhai had taken him to before, there was the Sanyuan Palace Kundao Academy, but he ultimately chose the Taiqing Palace.

"Liao Tianlin of the Jiyun Society? I didn't expect that person to be an extraordinary person as well."

The woman in black narrowed her eyes slightly as she looked at Liao Tianlin.

"Miss, do you know that person?"

The maid was a little curious.

"Heh, I've met him once. A disciple of the Jiyun Society? As expected, this young man is also an extraordinary person."

The girl in black narrowed her eyes slightly.

However, she hadn't sensed Chen Yuan's aura at all, which meant that his ability to conceal his Qi was extremely powerful, making him a master.

She also developed a sense of curiosity about the boy.

"Speaking of which, something big happened in the Northeast. The demon sword Hiruma appeared, and the Lü and Wang families went there as well."

Liao Tianlin said in a low voice.

"I've heard about this too."

Chen Yuan coughed.

Lu Ren estimated that his life was in danger, and he had to go and check on him.

He also managed to snatch the demon sword; he felt it might be useful.

Moreover, Eita Nikaido is a crucial fighting force for Bi'ai Shinobi. Killing this guy would greatly help in the future elimination of the ninja leader.

"By the way, Brother Chen, there's one more thing. I've heard that quite a few people in the Quanxing Sect are eyeing you. Be careful."

Liao Tianlin said earnestly.

As the saying goes, "People fear becoming famous, just as pigs fear growing fat." Once Chen Yuan became famous, it piqued the interest of many disciples of the Quanxing Sect.

Those guys are a bunch of lunatics.

"It's alright!"

Chen Yuan shrugged; he wasn't afraid.

On the other side, there is Zhuge Bagua Village.

Whoosh!

"Samadhi Fire!"

A faint blue light flickered in Zhuge Yunlan's eyes. The next second, countless blue flames burst forth, directly igniting the inner demons within his mind.

"No, how could this be?"

The inner demon Zhuge Yunlan showed a look of shock.

The guy in front of me has actually comprehended the Samadhi True Fire.

This is incredible.

"It's done! It actually worked! Brother Chen, now I can finally have a fight with you!"

A hint of surprise flashed in Zhuge Yunlan's eyes.

"what happened?"

Zhuge Yuan also sensed that something was wrong.

Could it be that the kid really succeeded?

"This is?"

Zhuge Yunhui was also surprised.

Could it be that……

No way?

Could it be that a genius has truly emerged from the Zhuge family?

Brother Yunlan has truly grasped the Samadhi True Fire!

At this moment, in Shanghai.

"What? Brother Chen is gone?"

Xu Xin was stunned when he heard the news that Wang Xinhai was telling him.

No way?

They were late.

"This……"

Dong Chang also gave a wry smile.

They originally came to invite Chen Yuan to visit the Tang Clan, but now it seems he'll have to go to the Northeast instead.

Why would I lie to you?

Wang Xinhai said helplessly.

"I know you're not lying to me, you old man, I just feel really frustrated."

Xu Xin gave a bitter smile.

It seems I need to go to Northeast China first.

"Junior Brother Xinhai!"

At the same time, Zheng Zibu's voice suddenly rang out.

"Zheng Zibu!"

When Wang Xinhai saw Zheng Zibu, he was dumbfounded.

"My master asked me to take you back."

Zheng Zibu said solemnly.

“I won’t go back. I’m doing just fine as a hermit in the Wild Maoshan. Why would I go back? I don’t want to live that miserable life on the mountain anymore.”

Wang Xinhai hurriedly said.

He doesn't want to go back to being a Taoist priest.

Although the Shangqing School is also a branch of the Zhengyi School, it is much more disciplined than other Zhengyi Schools, and is even somewhat like the Quanzhen School, with its members practicing asceticism every day.

"Forehead."

Seeing this, Xu Xin and Dong Chang exchanged a glance.

They didn't seem to know what to say.

After all, this is a matter between fellow disciples from different sects.

“My master said that if you don’t comply, I can take you back by force.”

Zheng Zibu conjured up a Five Thunder Talisman.

"Hehe, Zheng Zibu, if you insist on doing this, then go ahead and try. I'm not afraid of you."

Wang Xinhai snorted coldly and took out a Five Thunder Talisman.

Talismans and registers are one of the fundamental skills of Taoist priests in the talismanic school of Taoism. They are a general term for talismans and registers. Talismans are also called divine talismans, secret talismans, Taoist talismans, or incantations. When they are passed down among folk shamans, they are called witch talismans. They are tools for summoning ghosts and spirits and suppressing evil spirits. Registers are also called precious registers, legal registers, secret registers, or Taoist registers. They are credentials of membership in Taoist groups and the basis for performing rituals.

The so-called Three Mountains Talismans, Maoshan, where the Shangqing School is located, is one of the inheritors of the Three Mountains Talismans.

Zheng Zibu's ability to comprehend the Tongtian Talisman is naturally inextricably linked to this.

"Talismanic arts?"

Xu Xin was also quite curious.

"The secret arts of Taoist talismans are said to have originated from early human worship of natural divine power, inspired by ancient insect script and seal script. They are also related to the seal script diagrams in Han Dynasty Confucianism that demonstrated the will of Heaven. By the Eastern Han Dynasty, there was already a systematic set of divine talismans. At the same time, talismans are closely related to ancient scripts. The clerical script, which developed from the Qin Dynasty to the Eastern Han Dynasty, gradually matured and further enriched the expressive forms of talismans."

Daoist texts from the Wei, Jin, and Northern and Southern Dynasties onward combined talismans with the theory of vital energy, believing that talismans were naturally formed from celestial clouds and written by Heaven. During the Southern Song Dynasty, the Southern School of Daoism flourished, combining internal alchemy with talismans. This combination formed the basic principle of "internal refinement into elixir, external application as method." Later, the 30th Celestial Master of the Zhengyi sect practiced the then-popular new talisman "Shenxiao Thunder Method," filling the gap in the traditional Zhengyi talisman tradition's lack of "thunder magic."

Dong Chang said slowly.

"Brother Dong Chang, you really know a lot."

Upon hearing this, Xu Xin couldn't help but give a thumbs up.

Dong Chang truly lives up to his reputation as the living encyclopedia of the Tang Clan; he knows even this kind of thing.

"Zheng Zibu, are you trying to force me?"

Wang Xinhai was very unhappy.

"There's nothing I can do, these are my master's orders."

Zheng Zibu said calmly.

"However, this talisman is truly peculiar."

Xu Xin continued staring at her as he spoke.

"Yes, a talisman is composed of five elements: the talisman head, the presiding deity, the talisman body, the talisman feet, and the talisman core. If we use a talisman as a metaphor for a person, the talisman head is like a person's head; the presiding deity is like a person's thoughts and heart; the talisman body is like a person's stomach and intestines, where the talisman's function is written; the talisman feet are like a person's feet; and the talisman core is like a person's liver and gallbladder. A talisman without a talisman core is like a door without a lock, where bad people can enter at will. Therefore, the talisman core is of paramount importance to the talisman."

Dong Chang continued.
