45: Chapter 45 Master Zhang

After Wang An completed the refining of this strand of Wondrous Qi.

His keen perception, aided by the small Feng Shui energy field, quickly captured a flow of energy far exceeding that of an ordinary person, which disrupted a corner of this Feng Shui energy field.

In fact, this was a discovery from his research and observation of the Feng Shui energy field over these past few days.

Even for ordinary people, as long as they enter the Feng Shui energy field, their own energy field or spiritual Yang energy has an impact on the whole.

Just like now, Wang An sensed that the owner of this energy was rushing toward the dam.

He was well aware that someone would come to investigate the situation here.

"This person is highly likely a Professional; such a level of energy is not something an ordinary person could refine."

However, this was exactly what Wang An had hoped for; all along, he had been fighting alone and lacked external communication.

He did not know to what extent the country had developed professions now.

And he himself was limited by his horizon, perspective, and other issues.

Now, there were actually no professions suitable for him to change into, to the point where the job-change stones in his hands were accumulating more and more.

Aside from setting up Feng Shui energy fields, they had no other use.

This time, creating such a big commotion was, besides refining water Qi, also to incidentally make contact with other Professionals to see what the situation was like for others.

Therefore, Wang An had long had a plan.

As for safety and the issue of exposure, after Wang An's three dimensions all exceeded 2.5, he could control his muscles and change the shape of his facial features; current facial recognition could not find him.

Unless it was higher-tech iris recognition, which could not be changed.

Wang An quickly collected the job-change stones he had placed to increase the speed of water Qi gathering before this person arrived; there weren't many, just seven or eight.

Now with his level, aside from needing to activate the Feng Shui energy field during a job change, setting up a simple energy field could be completed in a day or two.

On the dam, the thick fog dissipated, leaving only a few wisps of mist dotting the landscape.

A middle-aged Daoist priest with flowing long whiskers, wearing a navy blue Daoist robe, holding a whisk, and with a jujube wood plaque engraved with Daoist scripts and cloud seals hanging on his chest, walked over slowly.

This Daoist priest stood on the dam, looking into the depths, then looking around, fingers pinching seals, calculating the numerology and five elements of this place.

"Strange, this place has no high mountains or dangerous peaks, no deep pools or dragon veins; why does it have the appearance of hiding wind and gathering Qi, of a soaring dragon ascending to heaven?"

"It is truly strange; even the Feng Shui dragon vein of the Forbidden Zone only revealed part of its celestial phenomena because of the appearance of a meteorite. This place..."

Just as this middle-aged Daoist priest was about to say something, he paused and stopped speaking, raising his head to stare intently at a youth walking out from the depths of the mountain forest.

It could be seen that this youth was dressed in black and white casual wear, his long hair tied up simply, and every step he took gave people a feeling of lightness, as if he were stepping on clouds rather than mud.

His skin was white with a rosy tinge, his posture upright, and when he walked through some thin mist, he did not stir up any movement.

Most eye-catching were his eyes, which faintly gleamed with a profound light, as if observing the operating laws of all things in the world.

Seeing such a bearing, the middle-aged Daoist priest blurted out involuntarily:

"Gathering the spiritual essence of heaven and earth, successful foundation establishment, a body without leaks."

Immediately, he felt he had spoken inappropriately, so he stepped forward, bowed, and introduced himself.

"Fellow Daoist, this poor Daoist is a high-ranking elder of Longhu Mountain, Daoist Priest Zhang Mingqing."

Seeing that the visitor was so polite, Wang An returned the greeting with Daoist etiquette.

"Daoist Priest Zhang, I am An Ran. It is just some small tricks I practiced myself; it cannot compare to the long-standing heritage of Tianshi Mansion."

Daoist Priest Zhang Mingqing was somewhat surprised to hear the other party speak so humbly.

Then he thought, to be able to self-study and self-cultivate to the stage of foundation establishment without leaks, it was impossible without some level of mental cultivation.

"Eh! Young friend An, to have such a foundation establishment realm and a body without leaks at such a young age is already extraordinary; there is no need to be so humble."

"I wonder, young friend An, what are you doing here?"

"Daoist Priest Zhang, what is your intention in coming here?"

The two sides looked at each other, a difficult-to-discern look flashing in their eyes.

"Oh, since that is the case, young friend An must also be a Professional."

"I will speak plainly; this poor Daoist has already changed into the Daoist [Wei Meng Mage] profession and has been promoted to receive the Taishang Zhengyi Mengwei Scripture Register."

"Coming here recently is precisely because I was entrusted by the Special Administration Bureau to investigate the abnormality in this place."

"Young friend An, coming from the depths of the mountain forest, you must know what abnormality is there; would you be willing to inform me?"

Wang An saw that Daoist Priest Zhang Mingqing was so frank, actually telling him directly the profession he had changed into; Wang An was somewhat curious about what bonuses this [Wei Meng Mage] had.

However, this was, after all, important information about someone's sect, and since they had just met, it was better not to ask such things rashly.

Regaining his composure, he told him about some phenomena he had observed from the outside.

"Daoist Priest Zhang, in the days I have been observing, I have gradually discovered that the fog in this area is gradually thickening from the outside towards the depths of the dam, as if it is gathering something?"

Hearing young friend An say this, Daoist Priest Zhang Mingqing felt it coincided with some of his own guesses.

He had come here this time to complete the task of the Special Administration Bureau, to investigate the cause of the abnormality here.

This place was close to a residential area; if Mutant creatures like those in the Forbidden Zone appeared, it would cause a big mess.

Wang An saw him looking thoughtful, not knowing what he was thinking, and just asked about the aspect he was interested in.

"Daoist Priest Zhang, I wonder if Tianshi Mansion has any cultivation methods, talismans, or spells that can be taught to others? I am willing to exchange them with information on a profession's job change."

Daoist Priest Zhang Mingqing was somewhat surprised to see that this young friend was actually willing to exchange using valuable job-change information.

"Young friend An, do not think that Professionals can cast supernatural spells. Without the support of extraordinary power, orthodox and famous methods are also rootless duckweed, possessing only the appearance."

Wang An heard this, smiled dumbly, and knew that he had misunderstood, thinking he was pursuing those mysterious supernatural spells.

Wang An replied.

"Daoist Priest Zhang, I am merely borrowing the principles of some Daoist talismans, incantations, and spells to sort out what I have learned and organize an effective inner cultivation method that can stand the test."

"Like those of us who have successfully established a foundation, we naturally have more awe for the vast heaven and earth. Without the blessing of extraordinary power, wanting to cast mysterious spells is as difficult as ascending to heaven."

Daoist Priest Zhang Mingqing was increasingly surprised by this young friend An, who actually wanted to use Daoist methods to organize a lineage of his own.

And he also knew how small and fragile the human body, as a small universe, was compared to the great universe.

"Since young friend An is willing to exchange with information on a profession's job change."

"Then I must say this first; the value comparison must be made clear to young friend An."

"If it is a profession that has already been recorded by Longhu Mountain, or if the information is of too low value, it cannot be exchanged for any orthodox methods."

"Daoist Priest Zhang, rest assured; I naturally understand. Your sect can list the professions you already have, and I will naturally provide one that you have not recorded."
