Chapter 279: Chapter 216: Simulating the God Refining Skill Again

Translator: 549690339

In the depths of the night, when Bai Xiaosheng came to call, his words were so shocking that they wouldn’t die down.

In the outskirts of Tiandu, one of the imperial capital’s vital areas, if it were anyone else, they would likely be scared to the point of their face turning pale.

However, the Taoist only shrugged and laughed, “I as a humble Taoist, already feel overwhelmed managing this small Taoist Temple. You may have mistaken me for someone who could handle such worldly affairs you speak of.”

“Hehe.” Bai Xiaosheng drained the cup of wine in one gulp, laughing sarcasticallv: “If it were someone else from the Taoist School who claimed to be ignorant of worldly affairs, I would believe it. But if a Taoist from the Baiyun Temple says that they do not understand these matters, that would be a big joke.”

The Taoist in front of him was none other than the famous Master Guan of Baiyun Temple, Daoist Xuanming.

Baiyun Temple is one of the three main ancestral homes of Quanzhen, highly valued by the imperial family of the previous dynasty.

The deeds of the Baiyun Ancestor, who single-handedly entered the army camp and resolved conflicts with a few words, are still revered by many Martial Artists today.

Among all Taoist Schools, perhaps only the True Martial Sect could rival it.

He came here today because the message conveyed by Pei Xuanjing clearly stated that if Bai Xiaosheng agrees to this matter, he can visit the Baiyun Temple in the outskirts of Tiandu, and that it would be best to first probe the other party’s intentions.

With efforts from both Bai Xiaosheng and Dragon Tiger Mountain, this matter could be settled.

Hence, Bai Xiaosheng’s unexpected visit tonight..

“My Baiyun Temple has been closed for a long time, concentrating solely on the pursuit of the divine path, with no intention of meddling in worldly affairs.” Daoist Xuanming lightly shook his head with a smile.

Even after his lie was just exposed by Bai Xiaosheng, he simply acted as if he hadn’t heard.

Bai Xiaosheng pretended to be regretful: “What a shame, it seems I have disturbed Taoist Priest’s cultivation, I am truly sorry.”

Although Baiyun Temple has kept a low profile and refrained from worldly affairs since the founding of the Great Ming.

But Bai Xiaosheng knew, that Baiyun Temple was once the great sect leading the Taoist School, its influence was formidable, even more so than Shenxiao Sect.

They are only laying low now due to the pressure from the Ming Imperial Court, for fear of their previous sins being brought up; otherwise why would they willingly downplay themselves.

Since the other party agreed to meet with him today, Bai Xiaosheng knew they were already interested. Everything now depends on whether the terms he offers can convince the other party.

Plus, his main aim of the day is to test the other party’s attitude, not necessarily needing an immediate affirmation.

“Sir, do you know where this place is?”

“Oh?”

“This here is the outskirts of Tiandu. Aren’t you afraid of getting noticed for talking about the imperial court’s affairs in such an irrational manner?” Daoist Xuanming replied indifferently.

Bai Xiaosheng countered with a question, “So, do you, Taoist Priest, plan to report me to the imperial court in exchange for rewards?”

Bai Xiaosheng dared to pay a solo visit tonight, showing his cards without hiding anything, fully confident that even if Baiyun Temple ended up disagreeing, they would definitely not betray them.

Very simply, even if we don’t take into account Chunyang sect potentially joining us.

Judging from the current four-party alliance: Bai Xiaosheng, True Martial Sect, Dragon Tiger Mountain, and Shenxiao Sect, this is already a major force capable of affecting the world’s situation.

As a major Taoist sect, Baiyun Temple understands better than any other power, just how terrifying this alliance can be.

Even at the peak of Baiyun Temple’s prosperity, they would not want to mess with such opponents, let alone now.

“He he.” Daoist Xuanming laughed without comment.

He was just saying it casually, not intending to follow through.

If they indeed went down that path, it would not only consign themselves to the Taoist School, but also provoke joint attacks from the four forces, something that Baiyun Temple would never want to see.

Exactly as Bai Xiaosheng guessed, he was actually testing the waters, he would not have allowed him to visit if he had intended to reject completely.

What Bai Xiaosheng doesn’t know, is that by now, a VIP from the Baiyun Temple had already secretly left for Dragon Tiger Mountain.

High on Dragon Tiger Mountain, ever since Pei Xuanjing killed the Ghost Emperor of Fengdu and the Seven Kills Sword Master, he secluded himself after leaving words with Yu Zhenzi, no longer caring about miscellaneous matters.

Even after representatives from Baiyun Temple and Chunyang Sect arrived, he never made an appearance, choosing to leave everything to Yu Zhenzi and Pang Hong to deal with.

Having previous experiences with refining pages of the Netherworld Book, Pei Xuanjing’s speed of refining the Netherworld Book increased significantly this time. Approximately a month later, he refined a page of the Netherworld Book and gained a hundred thousand Taoyun.

[Taoyun: 187,413 points.]

[Would you like to use the Life Simulator? Using it once would consume 100,000 Taoyun.]

Pei Xuanjing did not wait for gathering enough Taoyun this time, and directly activated the Life Simulator.

[Life Simulation activated: ]

At the age of thirty- three: You kill the Ghost Emperor of Fengdu and the Seven Kills Sword Master, and once again become the focus of everyone’s attention.

However, you who are wholeheartedly devoted to the Dao, do not place any importance on these empty titles, and begin to seclude yourself on Dragon Tiger Mountain.

In order to find out whether the test of the illusory trial was a coincidence or something else, you spent most of your time researching the Netherworld Book.

With your persistent efforts, you finally obtain a “Divine Soul Refining Skill” from a page of the Netherworld Book.

Even though you just start practicing this skill, you can feel that your spirit is constantly strengthening. With the aid of martial arts truth, you feel like you are about to reach the elusive Divine Soul.

As time goes by, your spirit continuously strengthens.

One day, you discover that your spirit can leave your body. In the midst of your joy, you find that your spirit starts to dissipate.

Turns out, when the spirit is initially formed, it cannot stray from the body for too long. When you try to return to your body, it is already too late. In the end, your spirit dissipates and you die.

[This life has ended.]

“I didn’t even survive past the age of thirty-three again!” Pei Xuanjing’s brow furrowed, finding it unexpected that the result of this Life Simulation was the same as the last one, where he didn’t even survive past the age of thirty-three.

He had originally thought that as his strength grew, his lifespan in the Life Simulator should lengthen as well.

But to his surprise, as his strength grew, it seemed to be somewhat counterproductive.

“Could it be that with the growth of my strength, increasing the number of secrets in this world that I get to know, increases the number of mysterious incidents that I encounter, thereby raising the number of dangers I face?” He pondered in his heart.

He shook his head, dismissing these baseless thoughts, and focused his attention on the current Life Simulation.

“Divine Soul Refining Skill? Spirit leaving the body?”

What luck finding a pillow when feeling sleepy.

Currently, in his cultivation, he did not lack skills for Refining Essence or Refining Qi; but he had little experience with Refining Spirit and had never obtained any related martial arts skills.

To his surprise, he obtained the skill in this Life Simulation.

Even if this Life Simulation didn’t award him the skill, Pei Xuanjing felt that his gains were immense.

He could sense his spirit and even have it leave his body. Although Pei Xuanjing died in this Life Simulation due to this,

It confirmed his conjecture about the way of the Divine Soul, providing validation for his speculations regarding Refining Spirit.

So, out of the Integral parts of cultivation: Essence, Energy, and Spirit, at least the path forward is correct for now..
