778 Beginning (1/2)

”Ghost!”

Jiang Wang and Lin Shoucheng were almost scared to death by the Essence Soul.

To them, the translucent Essence Soul looked the same as a ghost.

Fang Yuan flicked his clothes and asked calmly, ”So it's Qing He. What's up?”

The Essence Soul in front of him was semi-transparent in the color of moonlight, a bit similar to the Vajrasattva worshiped in the temple.

”Sigh… It's a long story!”

There were many scars on the Vajrasattva's Essence Soul and powder kept falling off. He was clearly heavily injured. ”My sect contacted me and told me to compensate for my mistakes with some achievements. I was too anxious and went to challenge that woman…”

Daoist Qing He paused here and did not want to continue.

It was obvious that he was defeated since his Essence Soul was almost destroyed.

Furthermore, he was chased by the opponents and could not think of anyone other than Fang Yuan to seek refuge from.

”You really have no morals… You must bring me all your cherished peach blossom wine tomorrow!” Fang Yuan shook his head, reprimanding jokingly.

In fact, he would have killed such a person if they had brought trouble to him, making sure that the person was annihilated completely.

But now, he needed to maintain his image as a moral and capable man, so he held himself back.

He waved his hand and used the moonlight to mend Daoist Qing He's Essence Soul.

”Thanks for your help… That wicked woman will arrive in no time, so please be careful… I'll send you the peach blossom wine tomorrow!” Daoist Qing He said with gratitude.

However, he did not notice that something sinister had fused into his Essence Soul together with the moonlight.

”Old Daoist, come out!” Before long, a clear voice was heard from outside the hut. ”You're from the Sacred Brahman Sect, aren't you? There are no other sects around the country of Ye with an Essence Soul of a Vajrasattva and the Moonlight Glaze Introspection!”

The lady's voice was soft and as soothing as water, and even Lin Shoucheng and Jiang Wang felt less nervous and hostile upon hearing it.

Jiang Wang felt as if he was dreaming and looked at Lin Shoucheng beside him.

That little boy, however, clenched his fist tightly, his eyes full of excitement. ”Daoist Immortals! Daoist Immortals! That's right… the Dao and Immortals really do exist. I must become a cultivator!”

”Immortals?!” Jiang Wang was bewildered despite being a child prodigy.

While laughing, a young lady walked elegantly into the thatched hut. ”What an old Daoist! So you've found allies!”

She did not mind the Daoist and the two children, but stared at Fang Yuan with a solemn expression. ”You are?”

The lady had a beautiful countenance. She was wearing a white veil and had a golden band on her head. Her dark hair cascaded down, giving her the natural temperament of a fairy.

”So is this Young Lady Zhi Hua?” Fang Yuan laughed. ”My surname is Fang, and I'm just a commonplace teacher. Daoist Qing He is a lustful person and is sorry for offending you. Could I ask you to forget about it?”

”You want to wrap things up?” Zhi Hua frowned. ”But I won't be able to explain to Sect Master… Unless… Mister Fang can take three paintings from me!”

Paintings?

Fang Yuan thought for a moment, and Daoist Qing He immediately explained to him, ”This is a technique unique to the Marvelous Immortal Sect. Every painting of theirs is a spiritual technique!”

”I see!” Fang Yuan nodded, speechless.

Despite the impressive names of their sects, such as the Marvelous Immortal Sect, the Sacred Brahman Sect, and so on, Zhi Hua, the young sect master of the Marvelous Immortal Sect, was merely at the Human Immortal realm. These were evidently small local sects in the country of Ye.

”Since you insist, please!” Fang Yuan waved his hand.

”I'm going to start!” Zhi Hua took a deep breath, pointed at the air, and a painting scroll emerged.

Swoosh!

A corner of the scroll opened up, and a horseman in black armor riding a black horse leaped out of the painting. It looked frightening as it directly charged at Fang Yuan with a saber.

”Iron-clad horses and frozen rivers, enter my dreams!”Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click for visiting.

Zhi Hua rolled out the painting scroll while speaking, and nether soldiers leaped out of the picture, forming an array and attacking Fang Yuan.

The two children were almost scared to death. The expression of Daoist Qing He also changed constantly, thinking to himself that he could not even withstand one strike with all his strength.

”Excellent painting! The creatures in it seem to be alive. You indeed have brilliant skills!” Fang Yuan did not even frown at the array before him. ”Since that's the case, why don't I return you a word?”

He pointed his right index finger in the air and wrote the word 'stabilize'.

Stabilize!

One word stabilized the chaos!

The nether soldiers suddenly became motionless, just like insects trapped in amber.

The ink then concentrated and returned to the painting scroll.
