Bai Cang was extremely interested in the third floor and immediately began to explore it with great enthusiasm.
After wandering around for a while, I discovered a technique that really caught my eye, called "Dragon Tiger Mystic Altar Technique," which is a Taoist art that combines weaponry and magic.
The profound purpose is to refine a "Dragon and Tiger Mystic Altar," which can be used to raise ghosts and gods, command Yin soldiers, and even nurture pseudo-supernatural powers: Dragon and Tiger Mystic Light. Its uses are truly endless.
Upon seeing this method, Bai Cang immediately thought of other methods such as the "Seven Returns and Nine Refinements Ghost-Slaying Altar," which might be compatible with this method, promoting Xiao Nie's cultivation and increasing her protective abilities.
After all, although Bai Cang has mastered many types of altars, they are all pure weapon-refining diagrams, and there is no method that combines weapon-refining and weapon-crafting. It can be said to be of great reference value.
However, Bai Cang hesitated because this "Dragon Tiger Mystic Altar Manual" clearly had a deep connection with Dragon Tiger Mountain.
Longhu Mountain is quite unique among the major sects of Taoism. The fundamental method passed down within the sect is called the "Supreme Righteous Unity Covenant Method Record," which is a method for bestowing titles upon ghosts and spirits and for commanding them.
Two lineages of magical arts originated from the "Taishang Zhengyi Mengwei Falu".
One lineage is the "Taishang Zhengyi Youling Zhao Baigui Lu" (太上正一右灵召百鬼箓), and the other lineage is the "Taishang Xuantian Zhenwu Wushang Jiangjun Lu" (太上玄天真武无上将军箓).
These two lineages of magic each have their own focus, but both are primarily focused on exorcising ghosts and commanding spirits.
However, the "Supreme Right Spirit Summoning Hundred Ghosts Register" mainly borrows the power of the ghosts and gods conferred by imperial decree in Longhu Mountain, rather than raising ghosts and gods himself.
The "Supreme Mysterious Heaven True Martial Supreme General Register" is the only method for raising ghosts and spirits.
Indeed, the spirits and deities conferred by imperial decree at Longhu Mountain are not ordinary beings. Apart from naturally born strange beasts and monsters, they are mainly the "ancestral masters" of Longhu Mountain throughout the ages.
They all possessed remarkable cultivation in their previous lives, and after being granted titles by Longhu Mountain, they switched to the path of ghosts and gods, still maintaining their formidable strength.
These kinds of spirits are also known as "ancestral spirits" in Longhu Mountain.
With the power of these "ancestral spirits" and "gods and spirits," even disciples of the Dragon Tiger Mystic Sect with low cultivation levels can still wield extremely formidable combat power.
In short: A single arrow pierces the clouds, and a thousand armies come to meet it.
With just a talisman, one can summon numerous ghosts, gods, and ghostly soldiers to assist in battle.
However, this method has a major drawback: all the ghosts, gods, and ancestral spirits must be worshipped with incense and can only sleep on the altars built in the cities and temples of Longhu Mountain.
Even the so-called "millions" of ghost soldiers and generals must be kept in various altars in order to maintain their existence and nurture their ghostly bodies.
Only by receiving a talisman from a disciple of Longhu Mountain can one awaken and mobilize to help them fight the enemy.
Therefore, the disciples of Longhu Mountain were at their strongest when they were stationed in various cities and temples.
If the altars are far away, the talismanic summoning may not be effective. Even if it is effective, it will take time for the spirits to arrive. Often, it is too late to help those in need.
If one relies solely on a portable altar, there are many limitations to the number and quality of the ghost soldiers and generals that can be worshipped and raised. They are far inferior to the "ancestral spirits" and ghosts and gods worshipped by Longhu Mountain throughout the ages.
Therefore, within Longhu Mountain, the "Taishang Zhengyi Youling Zhao Baigui Lu" is mainly practiced by outer disciples, while inner disciples and true disciples mainly use the "Taishang Xuantian Zhenwu Wushang Jiangjun Lu" which is used to raise ghosts and gods.
When the "Supreme Mysterious Heaven True Martial Supreme General Register" is cultivated to a high level, starting from the Divine Light Realm, one must refine a "Dragon and Tiger Mysterious Altar", which is equivalent to the various divine lights of other cultivators.
When one advances to the Golden Core stage, the "Dragon and Tiger Mystic Altar" is used as the main method. By using the power of nurturing ghosts and gods, the altar is sublimated to the extreme, and a wisp of golden essence is refined, which is then used to condense the "Dragon and Tiger Golden Core".
In other words, the "Dragon and Tiger Mystic Altar Technique" is actually a part of the fundamental law of Longhu Mountain, or a simplified version.
Aside from the inability to condense the "Dragon-Tiger Golden Elixir," he has already obtained eight parts of the essence of the "Supreme Mysterious Heaven True Martial Supreme General's Register."
If this were anywhere else, Bai Cang could pretend not to know.
Anyway, he wouldn't cultivate the "Dragon Tiger Mystic Altar Technique"; he would only use it as a reference to create his own unique Taoist arts and techniques.
But where is this place? Lanyun Sea City!
The "important town" jointly built by Longhu Mountain and the East Sea Dragon Palace can be said to be the foundation of Longhu Mountain.
Buying the fundamental teachings of Longhu Mountain here? Have they lost their minds?
There are plenty of ways to die, why choose the most cruel one?
"This Dragon Tiger Mystic Altar Technique was obtained by one of our Myriad Manifestations Sect Dao Lords through a duel with Elephant Heaven Dao Lord of Dragon Tiger Mountain. Fellow Daoist Bai can rest assured."
As if sensing Bai Cang's concerns, Ye Lan'er immediately smiled and said, "The content related to the fundamental laws of Longhu Mountain has been deleted. As long as you don't spread it, Longhu Mountain will never cause you any trouble."
Upon hearing this, Bai Cang not only did not feel relieved, but instead became even more vigilant.
He smelled the strong "fishy smell" of the fishermen!
This "Dragon and Tiger Mystic Altar Technique" is probably not bait prepared specifically for him, is it?
Thinking this, Bai Cang remained outwardly calm, but instead showed a look of joy and asked, "Is this really true?"
Ye Lan'er smiled, "Absolutely true!"
Bai Cang then asked, "What is the value of this method?"
Ye Lan'er smiled and said, "Not only will it be free, but Lan'er will also give you a method for condensing the 'Minor Yuan Magnetic Divine Light,' which is just what Fellow Daoist Bai requested."
"As long as Fellow Daoist Bai agrees to one small request and helps us solve a little problem."
Upon hearing this, Bai Cang chuckled and turned to leave without looking back.
I'll lead you guys to catch them! With this level of skill—straight hook and salty bait—you think you can catch me, your Taoist master, into a mandarin fish?
Even if Ye Lan'er didn't reveal her family background, Bai Cang already knew that the owner of Wanxiang Tower was Wanxiang Sect, located in the Central Plains.
This is a major Xuanmen sect with a Primordial Spirit Dao Lord in charge, and there is more than one Primordial Spirit Dao Lord.
Could someone who dares to cause them trouble be an ordinary person?
Even though the headquarters of Wanxiangmen is hundreds of thousands of miles away from here, making it somewhat beyond their reach.
However, the relationship between Wanxiang Sect and Longhu Mountain is not bad. Instead of seeking help from Longhu Mountain when they encounter trouble, they seek help from this Dao Foundation Sword Cultivator with "unknown origin".
Are you looking for someone to help you solve your problem, or are you looking for someone to take the blame for?
"Fellow Daoist Bai, Fellow Daoist Bai..."
Ye Lan'er was taken aback when she saw this, and quickly chased after her.
Bai Cang simply waved his hand, completely ignoring him.
"What's the meaning of your Vientiane Restaurant? You're turning down business even when it comes to you?"
Just then, Bai Cang had just reached the first floor when he heard a commotion at the door.
The steward of Wanxiang Tower stood respectfully at the entrance, saying, "Third Prince, please forgive us, but the tower owner is entertaining distinguished guests today and will not be conducting business for the time being."
Seeing this, Bai Cang couldn't help but have a strange expression: Damn it, it can't be such a coincidence, can it?
Could it be that this little vixen, Ye Lan'er, is plotting to trick the Daoist Master?
