Chapter 259: Invite the Immortal to Descend to the World
When the group arrived at the city gate, they saw three huge words hanging on it - Sirius City!

Everyone rode into the city on horseback. As soon as they entered the city gate, they saw a grizzly man carrying a big stick and walking towards them in a hurry, followed by a group of Canglin infantry.

Seeing Linghu Ping, he immediately shouted, "Brother Linghu, what's going on in Qingqiu Village?"

“They were slaughtered.”

"Damn it! These evil beasts have done so many evil things. If it weren't for the intense war in the south, we would have to mobilize the army to wipe them out."

Linghu Ping said helplessly, "Alas, there is nothing we can do. These monsters are just minor troubles. The monsters in the southern wilderness are the real enemies. These people are returnees from Fengyinzhou. They happened to save my sister. Brother Xiong, please help me settle them down. I will go settle my sister down first and then we will meet again."

The bear man nodded and said, "Of course, you have come at the right time. If you had come a few days later, I'm afraid you would have been blocked in the north. Come, come, I will take you to find an inn to stay first."

This big brother bear was quite enthusiastic and seemed to be very familiar with people.

Although it is also a bear, its body shape is closer to that of a strong human being, which is completely different from the previous black bear demon who looked like a mountain of flesh.

Several people followed the bear man all the way. When they passed a road crossing, they saw a dog-headed official posting a notice on the notice board. A circle of "people" wearing various costumes and with various animal faces were watching.

"Oh my, they actually offered a reward of 500 taels of silver for Lang Baiyan's head. If we can capture him, we will make a fortune."

"This Lang Baiyan is not easy to kill. If you can kill him, you will get three hundred taels."

A tiger-headed man sighed, "Those monsters are extremely vicious. How can common people like us be their opponents?"

A yellow-haired rat man said angrily, "How can you be so self-deprecating? I don't believe there are no heroes in Tianlang City. Brothers, why don't we join forces and form a group to get this reward, so that we can get rid of the harm to the people and earn some money, what do you think?"

There are actually people who want it.

"Okay, count me in!"

"Let's go together!"

Xiao Jie found it interesting. If you ignore the appearance of these 'people', they do give the impression of being some kind of chivalrous heroes.

Soon the team arrived at the inn, and Linghu Ping had settled the girl down. He came over and thanked them again.

"Brothers, why are you here in Canglin Province? If you need any help, just let me know."

Xiao Jie thought to himself that he was waiting for you to say this. He had already thought of what to say, so he said, "To be honest, I came here this time just for the three volumes of the Heavenly Book. I heard that the people of Canglin State... um, practice the Heavenly Book, which is quite helpful for self-cultivation. I have been in the martial arts world for a long time. Although I have always punished evil and promoted good, and I have always been upright, but I have killed too many people, and my heart has been tainted with some hostility.

There is often a sense of rage and the urge to kill.

If I could have the opportunity to practice these three volumes of heavenly books, it would also help me to relieve the murderous intent in my heart. But I wonder if I can have a look at these heavenly books?"

Linghu Ping was surprised when he heard this. "Brother, your idea is not bad, but the inheritance of this heavenly book has always been strictly regulated. Even the people of Canglin State can only practice one volume. It is difficult to read all three volumes of the heavenly book."

"Oh, I wonder why?"

“Perhaps because of the different races and bloodlines, the heavenly books bestowed by the Immortal are also different.

These three volumes of heavenly books are:

"Qilin Zhengqi Sutra", "Phoenix Xinyi Sutra", "Shenlong Haoran Sutra"

The three volumes of scriptures correspond to the tribes of beasts, birds, and aquatic creatures respectively.

As long as you practice the scriptures and mental methods contained therein, you can suppress your wild and animal desires, be kind and virtuous, and transform animals into humans."

Xiao Jie thought to himself, "So that's how it is." Then he has to practice all the techniques. He has absorbed the inner elixirs of various monsters. If he practices these three kinds of scriptures, he won't be afraid of changing his mind.

This bunch of wild beasts can cultivate themselves into humans and develop human nature, so it is naturally even easier for me since I was originally a human.

Unexpectedly, Linghu Ping continued, "Moreover, these three volumes of heavenly books are only taught to the people of Canglinzhou like us, and are never easily passed on to outsiders.

If you want to learn the scriptures, you must get the consent of Master Xiaoyue. I can introduce you to Master Xiaoyue, but whether you can be taught the heavenly book depends on you. "

Xiao Jie was able to accept this and was willing to help with the introduction, probably because he felt that he had saved the girl.

"In that case, I'll leave it to Brother Linghu. We still need to stay here for a day or two, and I will definitely ask Brother Linghu for help when the time comes."

The two sides exchanged a few more pleasantries, and then Linghu Ping said goodbye and left.

Everyone entered the inn, checked into a room, and settled down.

It was just past noon, and everyone ordered some food in the inn, had a big meal, and restored their strength.

What surprised Xiao Jie was that the food sold in this inn was exactly the same as that in Fengyinzhou. Although the dishes were different, there was fish, meat, vegetables, wine, rice and steamed buns. There was no difference at all.

While eating the special roast pork provided by the inn, several people discussed the next itinerary.

"The next step is to find a sect to become a disciple."

"Oh, Brother Qianlong, do you have a target?"

"I have done some research beforehand. There are three sects in Canglin Province related to sorcery. I will introduce Haoye Xinghe to you. You can consider it.

One is the Five Poison Sect, where you can learn witchcraft and unlock the wizard after level 10.

The second is the Five Immortals Sect, where you can learn the art of summoning spirits, and you can unlock the Shaman at level 10.

The third is the Ten Thousand Demons Valley, which is where sorcerers train. You probably can’t enter it at the moment…”

Xiao Jie said: "So only the Five Poison Sect and the Five Immortal Sect can be considered? What is the difference between the two? What is the difference between wizards and shamans?"

Qianlong Wuyong explained: "Wudu teaches witchcraft, which is a low-end version of demon magic. Because wizards cannot use demon magic directly, they need to use various demon beast fur, bones, flesh and blood as media to cast spells.

This wolf demon bone is an excellent spellcasting material for wizards and can be used to make a powerful magic weapon.

A wizard can be promoted to a great wizard at level 20, and a great wizard can be promoted to a sorcerer at level 30, at which time he can practice authentic sorcery.

The Five Immortals Sect practices the art of summoning spirits, which is a spell for communicating with all spirits. The so-called spirits are naturally all kinds of powerful monster spirits. Shamans can summon monster spirits to possess themselves, and then use all kinds of skills unique to monsters.

In the second stage, you can change your job to a necromancer, and then you will be able to materialize demonic spirits and summon creatures.

In the third stage, you can change your job to a celestial being, and even summon the gods in the sky to possess you... But if you want to change your job to a celestial being, the requirements for your faith attribute seem to be quite high, and it is a profession that requires both faith and spirituality."

Hearing this, Xiao Jie suddenly said, "Hey, that's not right. As far as I know, isn't this sorcerer a combination of a beast tamer + a Taoist priest/wizard/shaman?"

Qianlong Wuyong said: "Different paths lead to the same destination, all things are the same, although both are called sorcerers, their emphasis is different, wizards - great wizards - sorcerers, they follow the path of sorcery, performing all kinds of sorcery and magic.

The beast tamer + Taoist priest/wizard/shaman = sorcerer takes the route of shapeshifting and can transform into a powerful monster to fight.

The spell systems of the two are similar, but the development paths are completely different."

"I see……"

Qianlong Wuyong introduced: "The career system of this game is very complex, with various advancements. The same profession can also be advanced into different professions, just like a Taoist priest can be advanced to a real person, or to a heavenly master.

Likewise, the same high-level profession may be obtained by transferring from different professions."

Having said that, Qianlong Wuyong looked towards the bright night sky.

"Little brother, which job do you plan to change to?"

"I want to choose the Five Immortals Sect, is that okay?" Hao Ye Xinghe asked nervously.

"Of course, how spiritual are you?"

"20."

"Not quite there yet. I'll take you to level up this afternoon. Once you've reached level 30, you can become my apprentice."

In the afternoon, the group began to practice.

The monsters around Sirius City are generally around level 15-25, which is a bit more dangerous than those in Luoyang Plain. Fortunately, with four experts leading the way, there is no danger in Haoye Xinghe.

He was already almost at level 5, and after feeding a few monsters, they raised him to level , with all the upgrade points added to his spirituality.

Continuing to level up, the upgrade was quite fast before level 10, especially when fighting monsters of higher levels. Everyone first beat the monsters to low health, and then handed them over to Haoye Xinghe to finish off. Before 3 o'clock, they had already reached level 7 and had 35 spiritual points.

A white light flashed, and Qianlong Wuyong also leveled up.

"Congratulations, Brother Qianlong. You only have two levels left to advance." Qianlong Wuyong is now level 28 and can consider advancing.

"Have you decided what career to pursue?"

"Probably the General of Cavalry." Qianlong Wuyong replied calmly.

Xiao Jie knew something about this profession, mainly because the guild database gave very detailed introductions to several advanced professions for generals.

The profession of Cavalry General can lead four cavalrymen, and the combat effectiveness on the plains is very strong. Moreover, Cavalry General can lead third-level soldiers. As long as the reputation is raised, he can lead four high-level soldiers. As long as he is willing to spend the pension, one person can fight the BOSS alone.

"Let's go, let's go to the Five Immortals Sect first to help you get started."

The headquarters of the Five Immortals Sect is in Giant Wood City, but there are branch temples all over Canglin Province. There is one near Tianlang City, in a valley east of the city.

The group followed the NPC's instructions and quickly found the place.

This place is not secluded or remote, but rather quite conspicuous and even open to the public. Many people come here to burn incense and worship.

The architecture of the Five Immortals Sect has some primitive religious style. Many bone-carved feather decorations are hung on the eaves around the three-story wooden building. There are two huge fangs intertwined on the gate. It is unknown what animal left them.

The elder of the Five Immortal Sect here is also a "demon", but his cultivation is obviously not low. He has completely transformed into a human form. Only the row of whiskers on his face reveals that his original form is probably some kind of cat.

Bao Shaoqing (Elder of the Five Immortals Sect): Level 39 elder of the sect. HP: 2200.

When everyone walked into the sect's main hall, Bao Shaoqing was performing a ritual for a tiger man who came to worship.

I saw him muttering to himself and hitting a bone clapper in his hand.

His body suddenly twitched and an angry expression appeared on his face.

"Boy, why did you come just now?"

"Dad, is that you, Dad?"

"Nonsense, who else could it be but me? Hurry up! Tell me, what do you want from me?"

"Where did you put the private money you hid when you were alive? My mother said you must have some private money. Now my family is so poor that we can't even afford to buy rice, so I came to ask you."

"Just... ahem."

The possessed tiger father suddenly coughed.

The tiger man turned around and saw everyone, then he immediately understood what they meant and leaned over to listen.

The possessed tiger father muttered something, and the tiger man suddenly showed an excited expression.

"I didn't know that my father had hidden so many of his possessions. Now I can finally make some money."

Bao Shaoqing twitched again and his expression became solemn again.

"Your father has explained everything to you, right? If everything is fine, please go ahead - don't forget the money for the incense."

The tiger man handed a tael of silver to Bao Shaoqing and walked out with a smile on his face.

Xiao Jie was watching with amusement from the side, thinking, isn't this just a ritual of shamanism?

But well, that's what the shaman does...it makes sense.

Bao Shaoqing looked at them and asked, "What advice do you have? Do you want to communicate with any of our deceased ancestors?"

Hao Ye Xingkong immediately spoke according to the words that the few people had discussed before.

"Senior, I got this item accidentally. I heard that your sect is quite interested in it, so I came here to offer it to you. I only ask to become your disciple and learn magic."

As he said this, he submitted the quest item - Wolf Demon Dao Bone.

"This is - oh my, such a magical thing, where did you get it from? Forget it, forget it, there is no need to elaborate on how you got it. This thing is indeed a treasure. Do you really want to give it to me?"

"Yes, I just want to be accepted as your disciple."

"Hey, let me see what your aptitude is like - eh, you seem to be quite spiritual. Well, my Five Immortals Sect has always taught everyone, we only look at your aptitude and sincerity. I don't care if you have a good aptitude and are sincere, I will accept you as an outer disciple today."

Sect disciples are also divided into grades, inner disciples, outer disciples, registered disciples, and those who are a little better may even be menial servants - just like what I did when I wanted to become an immortal.

Of course, this also depends on the sect you want to join. The bigger the sect, the higher the requirements. Wolf Demon Dao Gu can be an outer disciple here. If he finds a small and unknown sect like Yehu Zen, he might be able to become an inner disciple. But if he goes to the Ten Thousand Demons Valley to become a disciple, I'm afraid he can only be a registered disciple.

"Thank you, Master!" Hao Ye Xinghe said excitedly.

"Don't be in a hurry to become my disciple. Although I have agreed, according to convention, the approval of the immortals worshipped by my Five Immortals Sect is required. My Five Immortals Sect worships five immortals in total. You can choose one to accept the test. If the immortal agrees, you can naturally become my disciple."

"Ah, what if the immortals don't agree?"

"Then we can just change another one, but if the five immortals don't agree, then there's nothing we can do."

As he spoke, Bao Shaoqing led everyone to the back hall, which was even more solemn and dignified. Five majestic statues stood in the huge hall.

Xiao Jie looked at the five statues in front of him. Without exception, they all had human bodies and animal heads. Their faces were sacred and solemn, their clothes were gorgeous, and there were fluttering ribbons and radiant patterns around their bodies. They gave people a rather sacred feeling.

Bao Shaoqing pointed to a statue with a tiger head and a human body and said, "This is Tail Mars Lord."

He then pointed to a statue of a human body with a snake's head and said, "This is the God of Good Water."

The one with a crane's head and a human body is the Sujin Star God.

The one with a rabbit head and a human body is the star god who accompanies the moon.

The one with a dog's head and a human body is Kaiyang Star God.

Kaiyang Xingjun! Isn't this the black-robed immortal among the two immortals that I met on the other side of Wangliu River under the guidance of the white ape?

Xiao Jie was delighted, as this person was an acquaintance, but why was he a dog head?

"Little brother, please choose one to invite."

Xiao Jie said at the side: "Please call Kaiyang Xingjun."

"Ah, why, Brother Feng?" Haoye Xinghe was a little puzzled. He was still thinking about inviting Tail Mars, after all, tigers looked more domineering.

"You're right to listen to me."

Hao Ye Xing He gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, then please invite Kai Yang Xing Jun."

"Now that you have chosen, I will invite you. Light three sticks of incense and I will perform the ritual!"

Haoye Xinghe picked up the sandalwood next to him, lit three sticks and inserted them into the incense burner.

Bao Shaoqing chanted something and performed a ritual.

"When the sun sets and the sky darkens, every household closes its doors. The gods are coming and someone is inviting them. Don't be rude and ignore them.

We will burn incense and pray to the immortals to keep us safe. If we are sincere and sincere, the Kaiyang Golden Dog will come closer.

Please invite the immortals to come down to the mortal world - please welcome Kaiyang Xingjun. "

Aww! A loud dog bark sounded in the hall, and then the statue came alive.

I saw a shadow in a black robe standing up from the statue and looking around proudly.

"Who is bothering me again? Hey, little brother, why is it you?"

When the projection of Kaiyang Star Lord saw Xiao Jie, he immediately showed a surprised expression.

Xiao Jie was also surprised. It turned out to be him?

Kaiyang Xingjun... is actually a dog? No wonder he ate the secret dog food so deliciously.

Bao Shaoqing was just about to introduce the immortal to the immortal family, but when he heard these words, he was stunned and stood there in a daze.
