Chapter 5, The Four Major Professions

Bai Jinmei frowned slightly, just about to say something when she was interrupted by Lu Bei: "I know that with you, Senior Sister, looking out for me, it doesn't matter if we offend the neighbors of Jiuzhu Mountain. However, Senior Sister, you can't take care of me for a lifetime. Sooner or later, I will have to return to Lingxiao Sword Sect. Don't you think so?"

Junior Brother Lu, you have arrived just in time. Allow me to introduce you to this person, the leader Ding of the Emei Sect from the Four Jing Peaks

I am still young and wish to strive harder

Bai Jin frowned and said: "Junior Brother Lu, last night I wandered around several nearby peaks, and among them, Sanqing Peak, where the Yuhua Sect is located, is the most desolate, making it an unsuitable choice for a Daoist temple."

Bai Jin also heard some gossip, but remaining calm and unperturbed, she led Lu Bei to the deep pool at the back mountain to initiate his first step in cultivation

Last night, Bai Jinye infiltrated the Emei Sect and had a friendly meeting with Master Ding, during which they signed an order regarding the renovation and decoration of the Feather Transformation Sect.

In the world of Jiuzhou, there are four main professions: Daoist Cultivation, Demon Cultivation, Monster Cultivation, and Buddhist Cultivation. Each profession has its own emphasis in the early stages, while their characteristics become distinct in the later stages. Every profession possesses an irreplaceable charm.

In the world of Kyushu, Dao cultivation, demon cultivation, and Buddhist cultivation are the officially recognized orthodox practices in various countries. In contrast, demonic cultivation is considered an unconventional path, as the majority of practitioners in this field have a poor reputation, occupying 90% of the wanted lists across nations and not being acknowledged as mainstream.

Early the next morning, Lu Bei was awakened by the noise and got up to see more than twenty strong men in the front yard. Frightened, he hurriedly rolled up his bedding and ran to the backyard, clutching a small box filled with Mo Bu Xiu.

After quietly digesting the last two Qi Ling Pills, Lu Beishen took a deep breath and slowly stood up, taking a few steps to loosen his stiff body, and casually added some firewood.

There is nothing to be embarrassed about. Considering the realm and strength of my senior sister, she must have long since transcended such lowly pleasures as a warm bed. On the contrary, he, being weak, helpless, and pitiable, without the protection of a bed, can hardly ensure that he will not catch a cold tomorrow

As he watched the mountain gate gradually become busier, Lu Bei secretly reveled in the whispers and glances from those around him, reflecting on his potential to be a pretty boy, while simultaneously feeling ashamed of his own secret delight

What?

Contempt, yet also envy, is not contradictory

Lu Bei pointed to Ding Lei, who was measuring dimensions, and said softly: "Can we discuss something?"

Bai Jin did not mention the cost of rebuilding the Feather Transformation Gate, and Lu Bei did not ask; whether he asked or not, it is the same, as they would not be able to afford it even if they sold everything.

Bai Jin nodded, acquiescing to Lu Bei's statement, and no longer mentioned the idea of changing to another mountain peak

Last night, Bai Jinye explored the nine peaks of Jiuzhu Mountain and found that the name of Sanqing Peak was indeed not misnamed. There were no people, no money, and no spiritual energy; not even a single piece of the spiritual bamboo, which is abundantly produced in Jiuzhu Mountain, could be found on Sanqing Peak.

The remaining disciples were summoned, half of them to accompany for support, while the others went to Langyu County to recruit workers

The three volumes of the twelve fundamental scriptures are placed before Lu Bei, and his task is to read them repeatedly until there is a response of spiritual energy within him, completing the initial stage of 'opening the orifice'.

Hearing the implied meaning in Bai Jinxian's words, Lu Bei's eyes twitched slightly, secretly thinking that it is indeed a cultivator from the Sword Sect, who is concise and direct without any subtlety

Similarly, as a practitioner of magic, it is quite reasonable and logical for me to possess several protective relics.

I like it

... ...

She gives money

When Ding Lei met Lu Bei, he was very polite, and his words carried a hint of bitterness, clearly regarding him as a gigolo living off others.

He finds it beneath him to engage in overly deliberate explanations that merely reflect superficial respect

The text appears to be incomplete or unclear. Please provide a complete sentence or phrase for translation.

Thus, he decided to genuinely respect Bai Jin, disregarding the rumors about the pretty boy that went in one ear and out the other, without any thought of explanation

It is not unexpected; for those on the path of cultivation, one cannot do without wealth, companions, methods, and the right environment. Since Master Mo has entrusted you to me, I will certainly take full responsibility.

The agreement was indeed signed under duress, but the reality of the money is undeniable. Ding Lei is well aware that if this matter escalates to the headquarters of the Huangji Sect, the authorities may not even pay attention. Ultimately, the result will be a private settlement between the two parties

The senior sister treats him so well, he should respect her in return

Lu Bei earnestly said: "Moreover, my master possesses great skills, and since he has chosen Sanqing Peak, there must be his reasons. As his disciple, how can I go against his wishes"

I, the humble Daoist Ding Lei, respectfully greet you, Master Lu

At noon, the disciples who were recruiting arrived, bringing dozens of people up the mountain

On the surface, it appears this way, but behind the scenes...

Considering the fact that Bai Jin was generous with his money and that drawing the sword was even more exhilarating, Ding Lei pinched his nose and swallowed his anger. The next day, at the break of dawn, he hurried to Sanqing Peak

... ...

However

Sijinfeng and Sanqingfeng both belong to the Jiuzhushan range, serving as the residence of the Emei sect, and can be considered as neighboring areas to the Yuhua Gate

Oh, it smells so good

The simplicity that can be seen at a glance truly befits the name of Sanqing Peak

Opening the mind refers to the player's selection of a primary profession. An account can only make this choice once, and once selected, it cannot be changed. Players who regret choosing the wrong profession can only delete their account and start over.

Senior Sister, harmony is of utmost importance. I have just taken over the position of the sect leader and already have conflicts with the neighbors. How can I promote the Yuhua Sect and fulfill the wishes of our esteemed Master in the future

It is nothing, I have been talking nonsense again

Is there anything inappropriate

Of course, the aforementioned situations all occurred before the players logged in. By the time the fourth calamity descended, this group of fearless individuals was fully engaged in their activities, causing the local NPC cultivators to exclaim in astonishment that they had never seen such a way of cultivation before.

The essence of magical cultivation lies in the principles of not breaking before establishing, with a focus on progress without retreat, which leads to a gathering of both foolish and ruthless individuals, resulting in a plethora of eccentricities

Bai Jin is in the backyard, draped in a layer of white gauze, followed by a middle-aged man dressed as a merchant. Whenever Bai Jin gestures with her hand, the middle-aged man takes out a ledger and makes a note.

Senior sister, what has happened?

Master Ding

Among the four main professions, the Daoist cultivator has the greatest compatibility, embodying the principle of inclusiveness and vastness, and the operability of skill selection is also the highest

In the early stages, a Buddhist cultivator possesses the lowest combat power; however, in the later stages, a formidable Buddhist cultivator can excel in all aspects, competing with Daoist cultivators in spellcasting, confronting demonic cultivators in fierce battles, and engaging in physical combat with demon cultivators.

Let me put it this way: whether it is the path of Taoist cultivation or that of demonic cultivation, the journey of cultivation ultimately leads to the same destination. The true way is to draw upon the strengths of various schools. If you are not proficient in the techniques of both demonic cultivators, you should feel embarrassed to claim that you are practicing immortality.

A quilt was spread out in front of the offering table, and Lu Bei did not see Bai Jin, so he consciously burrowed into the bedding

This Emei is not the same as that Emei; its reputation may sound impressive, but its strength is on par with that of the Feather Transformation Sect, both being insignificant small fry. One can tell from Ding Lei's worldly appearance that his true intention is not in the pursuit of immortality; he cultivates to attain a strong physique, and only with a strong physique can he earn money more effectively

The cultivation of demon practitioners is strictly limited, allowing only the demon race and those of human lineage with demon blood to engage in it. The essence lies in refining the bloodline, tracing back from the acquired to the innate, akin to a green caterpillar evolving into a裂空座, awakening the hidden powers within their bloodline. Those demon practitioners with a powerful bloodline can even awaken innate divine abilities, effortlessly overpowering their peers.

No one and no money are easy to resolve, lacking inspiration is not a major issue, there are better options next door, let us sit down and discuss, debating through martial arts, it won't take much time to reach a mutually satisfactory outcome

The bad news is that the twelve classic books stacked together are about half a meter high, which is quite daunting; the good news is that this is not a catalog, they are all here.

In comparison to these three flamboyant figures, Buddhist cultivation is much more traditional, maintaining a reserved adherence to its essence without indulging in flashy embellishments

Reading a book

In theory, one should be sound asleep at night, but the uninvited female demon broke through the mountain gate and forced me to sign a humiliating labor contract. Anyone from the Emei Sect with any backbone would not tolerate this, yet...

Lu Bei felt uncomfortable under Ding Lei's piercing gaze. After clarifying the general situation, he tugged at Bai Jin's sleeve and came to the old tree: "Senior Sister Bai, why is this so sudden?"

By the way, Senior Sister Bai, if such a thing happens again...

It turns out that NPCs become 'enlightened' in this way, which is quite different from players!
