On the other side, the old Daoist and the young man were waiting outside the Ye family mansion for the butler to return.

The young man looked at the long line and whispered, “Master, this Ling Fengzi is so popular. There are so many people coming to see him. Will he meet us?”

The old Daoist glanced at him, “You’re asking me this as if I know.”

The young man choked and refused to give up. “Master, I still think it’s too risky to rashly seek an audience…”

The old Daoist priest turned a deaf ear to him and instead closed his eyes to rest.

The young man was embarrassed at getting no reply, and finally settled down.

However, after a while, he could not help but open his mouth in envy,

“He’s so popular. How much silver can he earn every day? Master, why don’t we befriend the high officials?”

The old Daoist priest opened his eyes thoughtfully, “Do you think there’s a possibility that I’m the one who has prevented you from striking it rich?”

“I think it’s highly likely…”

“Hmm?”

“Master, I think I still like the feeling of being poor.”

“Okay.”

The old Daoist closed his eyes again.

The young man closed his mouth tactfully.

Not long after, the butler finally returned and said, “Perfected Master Windwalker has agreed. Please follow me.”

“Thank you for your trouble.”

The old Daoist priest bowed slightly and entered the Ye family mansion with his disciple.

The group walked through the courtyard.

The young man quietly approached the old Daoist and whispered, “Master, what should I say later?”

“You don’t have to say anything. Don’t cause trouble for me.”

The old Daoist rolled his eyes at the question.

The young man nodded and obediently closed his mouth.

The old Daoist thought for a moment more before lowering his voice and speaking,

“If this Ling Fengzi is willing to help, that’s naturally for the best. If he has other thoughts, it won’t be good. Later, be smart and play it by ear… I’ll use the Aura Divination Technique to probe him later. With just a glance, I’ll know what his cultivation is. I wonder what kind of spell this Ling Fengzi cultivates and what methods he has, but unless he knows a strange technique like the Aura Concealment Technique, his cultivation can’t be faked.”

As they spoke, the group finally arrived at the guest hall.

The butler who led the way asked the two of them to wait outside the house. He went in to report before walking out.

“The Perfected One is waiting inside. Please come in.”

The old Daoist priest composed himself and secretly raised his guard before walking in.

As soon as he entered, he saw Zhou Jing sitting in the main seat. He was wearing a Daoist crown and cloud shoes. His appearance was much more exquisite than a shabby Daoist like him.

Clearly, this person was the main character, Perfected Master Windwalker, Ling Fengzi.

Seeing this, the old Daoist’s eyes flashed as he silently activated the Aura Divination Technique.

The aura of the five elements, the aura of evil, the aura of corpses… All kinds of auras that could not be seen by the naked eye appeared in the old Daoist’s eyes.

At this moment, he saw a piercingly cold green light blooming with Zhou Jing as the center. It was one and filled his vision.

The old Daoist was stunned, then he was suddenly moved and subconsciously blurted out,

“Natural Dao?!”

Zhou Jing was stunned as well.

What kind of introduction was this? Could it be that all proper Daoists greeted their peers like this?

He blinked and returned the greeting. “The Heavenly Venerate is immeasurable?”

(TL Note: Could not find an exact explanation, but it seems like the two of them make up a phrase: The Dao is natural/comes from nature, and the Heavenly Venerate immeasurable.)

The old Daoist priest suddenly came back to his senses and looked at Zhou Jing in surprise. A look of reverence appeared on his face. He did not dare to be careless and actually bowed respectfully as a junior.

“This humble Daoist is Wei Zifu, hailing from the Clear Spirit Sect. This is my disciple, Li Qingyang. Greetings, Perfected Daoist.”

He had been listening to Ling Fengzi’s deeds every day recently, and his ears were already growing calluses from listening. He knew that this person should really be capable. On the way here, he had already guessed a few possibilities.

However, Wei Zifu never thought that Ling Fengzi’s cultivation would be so high!

The Xun Aura¹ was emitted from within him, and the Qi and body were indistinguishable. It was as though it was a natural thing, always existing in harmony with the person.

(TL Note: Xun is the Southeastern section of the Eight Trigrams, symbolizing wood and wind.)

Only by cultivating the five elements to an unimaginable profound level could one have such cultivation. Such a characteristic was actually the profound realm that was speculated to exist in the secret teachings of the Dao Sect — the Natural Dao realm!

He had never seen anyone reach such a realm, but he did not expect that one day, he would be able to see this legendary Perfected Person with his own eyes!

However, Wei Zifu did not know that this was a misunderstanding.

When Zhou Jing fused with the Gale Spirit back then, he naturally developed some characteristics of an elemental body. It was equivalent to a walking human form of the Gale Spirit. He could also be seen as a large collection of wind elements.

However, under the vision of the Aura Divination Technique, it was mistaken for the characteristics of “Natural Dao”. It was not that he had really reached this realm, but that the superficial characteristics of different supernatural systems were mixed up.

Zhou Jing did not know why Wei Zifu had such a shocked expression, but that did not stop him from thinking to himself.

For the sake of caution, he silently activated his Elemental Vision.

In the next moment, his senses changed. He was also surprised to discover that there was a faint white aura wrapped around Wei Zifu’s body, giving him a sense of immortality.

As for the young man called Li Qingyang, there were also wisps of white gas on his body, but it was much thinner.

“Could it be that these two people possess other supernatural systems in this world?”

Zhou Jing’s eyes lit up in excitement.

He quietly opened the interface and spent an Astral Point to activate his detection.

Soon, the attributes of the old Daoist Wei Zifu appeared.

[Attributes: Physical Fitness 13, Resistance 11, Perception 18, Spirit 15, Energy 26]

Zhou Jing was delighted and blinked.

“It’s indeed a different supernatural system! These attributes are really… Uh, balanced?”
