On Longhu Mountain.

The old voice was low and tense: "Be careful!"

"Avoid it, otherwise it may be dangerous."

"I got it."

"You know nothing, Old Lin, step aside, I'll deal with these guys."

"Oops, it's a trap!"

With a shake of the screen, Zhang Ruosu fell silent, then silently put down the phone in her hand, picked up the teacup and took a sip, and said lightly:

"It seems that the modern kids still have some skills, not bad."

Lin Shou sighed and looked at the gray screen on Zhang Ruosu's phone, and the character who had fallen down again, helpless: "How did you die again?"

Zhang Ruosu laughed and said, "There's no way, the opponent is quite strong."

Lin Shou sighed and said, "You just played against the computer."

Zhang Ruosu: "…………"

The old man from Shangqing Sect sighed, unable to keep up with his old friend's thinking, and said, "If you really want to experience the so-called excitement, why not try real guns and live ammunition?"

Zhang Ruosu smiled and said, "Real guns and live ammunition are not as exciting as the mobile games."

Lin Shou sighed and said, "You have a point."

"Well, now that you've relaxed as you said, shouldn't you go back and deal with that matter? If people find out that the high-level figures of the Fu Rui sects are arguing, and you, as a Tian Shi, have run off here, you'll be talked about behind your back."

Zhang Ruosu sighed, "Let them talk."

"But, Old Lin, you really know how to cause trouble for me."

The old Tian Shi stood up and walked slowly towards the Tian Shi Fu Council Chamber, and Lin Shou followed behind him, his hands holding the wide Dao robe, and in the middle of the Council Chamber, the atmosphere was stagnant, with cultivators wearing different styles of Dao robes sitting on both sides, facing each other.

On the table in the middle was the Tai Ping Nine-Section Staff.

At the moment, they were arguing about where this ancient treasure of true cultivation should be stored.

Zhang Ruosu sat at the head, picked up the teacup next to her and took a sip, her eyes downcast, her expression calm, while the other cultivators still did not give in to each other, and the most heated argument was between the Ling Bao Sect and another true cultivator of the Tian Shi Fu.

The former believed that the Ling Bao Sect and the Tai Ping Dao had always had a connection.

The Tai Ping Nine-Section Staff should be stored in the Ling Bao Sect altar.

The latter believed that the Tai Ping branch had long been lost since the Song Dynasty, and now it had no inheritance.

So this treasure of the Dao should be stored in the Tian Shi Fu on Longhu Mountain.

The other sects, such as Shangqing Sect and Shenxiao Sect, were not concerned about this treasure.

The representative of the Ling Bao Sect was an old man in his fifties, with white temples, named Ge Yanzhi, the direct descendant of the Ge family, and the Ling Bao Sect was originally founded by the Tian Shi Ge Xuan, and passed down from generation to generation, with the "Ling Bao Scripture" as its fundamental method, one of the three mountains of Fu Rui.

The Ling Bao Sect altar on Gezao Mountain was also one of the three major altars, along with the Zhengyi Sect altar and the Shangqing Sect altar.

Ge Yanzhi's voice was calm and upright, saying:

"Fellow cultivators should know that the Tai Ping Dao and our Ling Bao Sect have a long-standing connection, among the three mountains and four auxiliaries, the Tai Ping branch is the assistant to the Xuan of the Dong Xuan, and the Dong Xuan branch is precisely our 'Ling Bao Scripture', the 'Tai Ping Scripture' has been lost for a thousand years, and our Ling Bao Sect has not produced a true cultivator who has reached the highest level of the Ling Bao Scripture, and now that the Nine-Section Staff has appeared, I ask that it be returned to our sect's altar."

Zhang Zhongxuan, the Daoist in charge of mundane affairs in the Tian Shi Fu, said, "This matter still needs to be discussed."

"The Ling Bao Scripture can only be practiced by the Tai Ping branch in order to reach the highest level of true cultivation, but that does not mean that the Tai Ping Nine-Section Staff needs to be sealed in the Ling Bao Sect altar."

"Firstly, our Tian Shi Fu is the leader of the Dao, since the Tai Ping branch has already lost its inheritance, the Nine-Section Staff should naturally remain in the Tian Shi Fu, and coexist with the male and female Longhu swords in the Ancestral Hall, secondly, among the three mountains and four auxiliaries, the Tai Ping branch can assist the Dong Xuan branch, and the Zhengyi branch can also assist the Tai Ping branch, making the Tai Ping Dao even more exquisite."

"If one can comprehend the Tai Ping branch from the Nine-Section Staff, then it will be beneficial to the Tai Ping branch on Longhu Mountain, but if it enters the Gezao Mountain, it will be beneficial to the Dong Xuan branch, one is for one's own benefit, the other is for the benefit of others, who is superior and who is inferior, it is naturally clear."

The two argued endlessly.

Because this involved the true transmission.

Being able to comprehend its method, naturally greatly benefited one's own Dao.

The ancient Daoist Cang once said, "The three mountains and the Xuanjing are called the great practitioners of the Great Vehicle."

And now, in this era, the Shangqing branch has the Shangqing Scripture, the Dong Xuan branch has the Ling Bao Scripture, and the one of the three mountains, the "San Huang Scripture", was involved in an incident during the Tang Dynasty, and was burned by Emperor Taizong Li Shimin, and the original San Huang Sect of the three major Daoist sects also directly declined.

The past is over a thousand years, and now among the four auxiliaries, the Tai Xuan has only the "Heavy Xuan" of the five thousand words of morality, and no one understands it.

The Tai Qing also no longer has the original method of cultivating the Golden Elixir, and is considered lost.

It's just that the practitioners of the Dan Ding series have inherited some of its essence, combined with the martial arts, the Confucian and Daoist methods of cultivating the breath, and the internal cultivation methods of the Zen sect, and have combined them into the Quanzhen system.

The three mountains and four auxiliaries, passed down to the present day, have only the two mountains and one auxiliary left, forming the three mountains of the Daoist sects in Shen Zhou.

Namely, Maoshan, Gezao Mountain, and Longhu Mountain.The status and importance of the orthodox Taoist scriptures can be seen.

Now that the inheritance treasures of the Three Caves and Four Aids have reappeared in the world, even the cultivators and Taoists who are accustomed to cultivating their hearts will show a desire for pure cultivation and a longing to see the jade books. Instead of cultivating peacefully, Lin Shouyi and others waited for everyone to argue and once again brought up the matter that had been mentioned before, saying:

"The leader of the Taiping Sect may have reappeared in the world."

"This time, we will all take the Nine-Section Staff back to the Celestial Master's Mansion. He has displayed profound Taiping Taoist techniques and has used the Nine-Section Staff to perform the Taiping Taoist Thunder Technique. The Nine-Section Staff was extremely obedient in his hands, without any resistance."

"So I think, perhaps the Nine-Section Staff should rightfully return to the hands of the leader of the Taiping Sect."

The argument fell silent for a moment.

Everyone looked at each other in contemplation.

Ge Yan of the Lingbao Sect stroked his beard and said, "If he is truly the leader of the Taiping Sect, then the Nine-Section Staff should naturally belong to him. But Lin Daoist friend, can you really be sure that he is the leader of the Taiping Sect, and not just someone who has cultivated the Taiping techniques and can control the Nine-Section Staff?"

There was a hint of doubt on his face as he said, "It's not that I'm deliberately suspicious."

"But if that friend is also a member of the Taiping Sect today, or a member of a hidden organization in Shen Zhou, pretending to deceive the Nine-Section Staff into his hands, then it would be too easy for us to hand over the Nine-Section Staff and fall into the hands of the enemy."

Zhang Zhongxuan of the Celestial Master's Mansion, who was arguing with him, expressed the same sentiment.

Worried and disbelieving that the person mentioned by Lin Shouyi was really the leader of the Taiping Sect, they were afraid that handing over the Nine-Section Staff to the enemy would be taken advantage of, and they were worried that the person, who appeared to be uninvolved, actually had hidden connections with certain entities.

Lin Shouyi was about to retort, but then he thought that part of what he said was based on his own observations of that person's performance, and even he found it hard to believe without seeing it with his own eyes.

For a while, he couldn't produce any evidence to convince the two of them.

At this moment, Zhang Ruosu put down her teacup and said, "I don't know if he is the leader of the Taiping Sect of this generation, but if he is just a fake, then there's no need to worry."

Her voice paused for a moment, then she shook her head and said:

"Furthermore, you are just unwilling to let the Nine-Section Staff fall into the hands of others, and you cannot comprehend the cultivation practice in the first place. After cultivating for so many years and cutting off worldly desires and inner demons, you have ended up clinging to the idea of 'cultivation' itself."

Ge Yan and Zhang Zhongxuan were both taken aback and blushed.

Zhang Ruosu said, "Since you two both want this item, and Lin Daoist friend said it should return to its rightful owner."

"Why don't the three of you compete for it?"

"Spiritual treasures have their own will, let's see who the Nine-Section Staff will follow."

Both Ge Yan and Zhang Zhongxuan had just tried to pick up the Nine-Section Staff, knowing in their hearts that if the so-called leader of the Taiping Sect truly understood the Taiping techniques, then the Nine-Section Staff would most likely lean towards the other person. However, they both had other thoughts in mind.

One was that their own Lingbao Sect and the Taiping Sect had a thousand years of affinity, so it might not be impossible to activate the treasures of the Taiping Sect. The other was that they thought that among the Four Aids, one of them could assist the other six sects in their cultivation, so it might not be impossible to activate the treasures of the Taiping Sect.

So they all agreed.

Zhang Ruosu had originally intended to go get her phone, but she hesitated and stopped, instead gesturing to Lin Shouyi to contact the so-called leader of the Taiping Sect. The latter did not know that the old Celestial Master also had Wei Yuan's contact information, and only took out his phone to find Wei Yuan's contact number and dialed it.

"Hello, is this Master Wei?"

……………………

After contacting the charming woman, Wei Yuan had already organized his thoughts.

He confirmed how to explain Yu Ji's situation to the Celestial Master's Mansion, and just then received a letter from the White Cloud Temple. He was taken aback, and after seeing the Daoist name Tianchenzi on it, he opened the letter and saw the pair of horse and armor talismans. It was only then that he realized it was the old Daoist who had previously invited him to the White Cloud Temple.

Because of the matter with Boqi before, through the Daoist temple where Boqi had previously dreamt, and the person he had transformed into in the Jiangnan Dao's Yingtian Mansion, it could be inferred that Shan Jun was also in a certain Daoist temple within the Yingtian Mansion. Wei Yuan had already informed the special operations team of the Yingtian Mansion about this matter, but he didn't know if they had any gains.

As Wei Yuan thought about this, he placed the armor talisman aside.

When he was about to read the letter, his phone suddenly rang.

It was Lin Shouyi.

Wei Yuan was surprised, pondered for a moment, and then set the letter aside, picked up the phone and answered. Lin Shouyi briefly explained the general situation, especially the issue of the ownership of the Nine-Section Staff. When Wei Yuan learned that the old man proposed to put the Nine-Section Staff in his care, he was slightly surprised.

The old man then turned on the speakerphone.

Even though Wei Yuan was not present, Ge Yan still stood up and said with a cupped fist, "Wei Daoist friend, I am Ge Yan of the Lingbao Sect."Afterwards, he repeated what he had said to the old celestial master, and Zhang Zhongxuan did the same. Then Ge Yan said, "A thousand years ago, my Lingbao Sect only wanted to obtain the Nine-section Staff and comprehend the secret text on it, to make up for the part that my Lingbao Sutra lacks. What we seek is not this treasure, but the rightful method of our sect. We have no choice but to contend with fellow Daoists..."

Zhang Zhongxuan also said, "I also wish to comprehend this treasure..."

Zhang Ruosu couldn't help but blink her eyes.

Lin Shou, who was standing beside them, seemed to mutter something embarrassing.

Wei Yuan was surprised, then chuckled lightly. His laughter rang in the ears of the Daoists, and Ge Yan stopped when he heard it, then said, "If you are seeking the method of the Taiping Sect, why bother comprehending the Nine-section Staff? It was originally just a walking stick for climbing mountains."

He paused for a moment, then said naturally:

"As for the Taiping Sect, if you want to learn, I will teach you."

Ge Yan and Zhang Zhongxuan were stunned.

The old Daoist couldn't help but say, "Fellow Daoist, this is the rightful method, containing the great Dao..."

Wei Yuan said, "So what?"

Ge Yan didn't know how to respond. He could hear the young voice answering, "Where do you think the Dao method is used?"

Ge Yan hesitated, "It is used for tranquility and purity."

Zhang Zhongxuan answered, "It is used to eliminate external demons."

The young voice replied gently, "Both are correct, but in my opinion, the Dao method is about self-cultivation, as well as cultivating others. Cultivating others first, then oneself. This method has been passed down through the generations, but if it is hidden within oneself, one cannot cultivate the Golden Elixir. If it is hidden within the mountains and rivers, one cannot become a true immortal. What use is there in hiding it?"

"Of course, I will only teach the general principles of cultivating Qi for the Taiping Sect. It should be sufficient to use the experience of others as a reference. If you want to learn magical methods and various spells, it involves the secrets of various sects. You should know that it is not a method of cultivating others."

Ge Yan and Zhang Zhongxuan were stunned. The young voice was calm and composed when discussing Daoist techniques, creating a tremendous sense of conflict.

Wei Yuan thought of the young Daoist, and thought of his eight hundred fellow brothers, and the millions of Yellow Turban Army soldiers. When Zhang Jiao reached the end, he had already abandoned the concept of sects. Furthermore, how could the grand and orthodox Three Caverns and Four Assistances be considered as having the magnanimity to sweep away their own treasures? So he lowered his eyes and said in a calm voice:

"This method is the flourishing and governing of the Dao, proving the cause through the result."

"It is enough to clarify the great chaos, and the achievement is virtuous, hence it is called Taiping."

"Please listen quietly."

In the Celestial Master's Hall, many Daoists' faces changed slightly. They instinctively stood up, bowed respectfully, and then sat upright with solemn expressions. Wei Yuan slowly explained the first part of the Qi cultivation method of the Taiping Sect, which was also widely taught by Zhang Jiao in the past.

However, after many long years, these parts had long since dispersed and disappeared in the river of history.

This was the first time in a thousand years that someone had explained it in such detail.

The Daoists in the hall listened attentively.

Only the old celestial master, seeing that everyone was absorbed in listening, took out his phone and casually opened it. The sound of 'TIMI' suddenly rang out, and he instinctively covered the sound. Seeing that no one had noticed him, he quietly turned off the sound. Even though the true method was being presented, he was eagerly playing games.

Ge Yan listened as if entranced. Although the voice was young, there was no doubt that the comprehension of Daoist techniques was deep and profound, clear and incisive. Even the basic parts were still fascinating, showing enough cultivation and attainment.

After the explanation, when Wei Yuan stopped speaking, everyone slowly came back to their senses.

Some of them were surprised by the identity of this person.

Ge Yan and Zhang Zhongxuan both felt that their fundamental cultivation methods had changed, but for a while, they couldn't describe where this change had occurred. They just felt emotional, and their gaze subconsciously fell on the Nine-section Staff placed in the middle, feeling a deep longing.

Then they restrained themselves and felt ashamed.

Zhang Zhongxuan said, "This... fellow Daoist, do you need to return the Nine-section Staff?"

Wei Yuan took a sip of water. Today's sermon was both a matter of course and to allow the Taiping Sect to return to the Three Caverns and Four Assistances, and to establish a good relationship. He said, "No need, thank you for your concern."

After thinking for a moment, he added, "Lin Lao, please bring the phone closer."

Lin Shou was stunned before realizing that he meant to bring the phone closer to the box containing the Nine-section Staff, and he did so as instructed.

Ge Yan couldn't help but ask seriously, "Senior... are you the current leader of the Taiping Sect?"

Wei Yuan replied, "The current leader? Of course not."

"Besides, I can't live up to the title of 'senior'."

Ge Yan was stunned, and his voice raised a few degrees as he said, "Senior... have you not practiced the art of preserving youth and beauty?!"

Wei Yuan smiled and said, "Of course not."

As he spoke, the phone approached the box containing the Nine-section Staff as instructed.

Everyone was curious, not knowing what method would be used, or if the altar would activate this treasure.

The Nine-section Staff remained as lifeless as a piece of dead wood, showing no reaction.

But then the voice paused, sighed, and gently said, "Forget it, let's go back."The incomplete sentence made the crowd's thoughts slightly stagnant, and then they heard a low voice. Everyone turned around and saw the nine-section staff, which was originally lying on the table without any spirituality, suddenly leaping into the air. The secret runes on it lit up one by one, and then all appeared with yellow flames, carrying a strong momentum, directly breaking through the nearby window and flying into the sky.

The nine-section staff joyfully whistled, as if a ball of yellow flames was rising.

In an instant, it was far away.

Several people in the room looked at the broken window and the distant yellow light, silent.
