Chapter 128: Fortune Blessing

"Tu Lao!"

Yin Qi was somewhat surprised; he smiled slightly and said, "I was reading in the Library Cave earlier and discovered the *Dao Scripture* by chance, so I tried practicing it for a bit."

"What, you only just started practicing?"

Tu Lao's eyes widened, his whiskers twitching up and down as he said excitedly, "Could the legends actually be true? That the sages of antiquity could achieve sainthood the moment they began to practice?"

"You, a scholar who has never practiced Daoism, have actually achieved Night Wandering directly!"

"How Heaven favors you of the Human Race! Do you know that it took me nearly twenty years to reach Night Wandering?"

By the end, he was filled with both envy and lamentation.

Yin Qi only smiled and did not answer; he could hardly say he possessed memories from a past life.

Tu Lao scolded him again: "Master Yin, if you wanted to practice Daoism, you should have told this old man in advance. It is fortunate your spirit is resilient enough to achieve Night Wandering directly; otherwise, without Incense to protect your body, walking out like that would have been enough to scatter your soul."

Yin Qi feigned shock and said, "Does leaving the body require Incense? The *Dao Scripture* didn't mention it."

Tu Lao shook his head and said, "Although the *Dao Scripture* is a monumental work, the compiler clearly had malicious intentions, as they did not write down the taboos of leaving the body, which requires Incense for protection."

It could only be said that Tu Lao lived far from the Human Race, his nature unpolluted, still maintaining a heart of innocence.

"A long, long time ago, there was a mountain called Hulu Mountain, and inside were locked a scorpion spirit and a snake spirit..."

The three little girls gathered around one after another.

The three little girls were full of sorrow, on the verge of tears.

They were chattering away, incredibly excited.

"The master is a scholar and has never practiced Daoism before. I saw him open the *Dao Scripture*; he wouldn't have practiced it rashly, would he?"

"Oh, it's you all!"

"Obtained *Past Amitabha Sutra*, Fortune Essence added!"

Yin Qi shook his head firmly and said, "No. That is all for today. From now on, I will tell you a little every day; as long as you study and learn well, I will tell you more each day."

Tu Lao looked at Yin Qi and said, "Since you have also begun to practice Daoism, this old man will not hide anything from you. Tomorrow, I will give you a method for practicing Daoism that includes annotations from a Ghost Immortal; it will be safer for you to practice according to that."

"Night Wandering, the master is so amazing!"

If one were to encounter a fierce beast like a wolf, it would definitely be a great disaster.

The three girls nodded one after another, their eyes full of anticipation.

Yin Qi was both surprised and delighted.

If an Ordinary person obtained it without the guidance of a famous teacher, practicing Daoism recklessly would surely lead to a dead end.

In the blink of an eye, over an hour had passed; he stopped and said, "Alright, that is all for now, you should all go back and rest."

Just as Yin Qi was struggling with the dilemma, a flash of inspiration crossed his mind, and he cursed himself inwardly: "Damn, why am I so stupid? Since I can't guess, why not just ask the Altar directly?"

Yin Qi felt grateful in his heart and bowed deeply.

"Young Master Yin is too polite."

Obtaining the *Past Amitabha Sutra* and receiving Fortune Essence—is this because the *Past Amitabha Sutra* itself is an object of great fortune, or because he intercepted Hong Yi's opportunity?

Such as the *Present Tathagata Sutra*, *Future No-Birth Sutra*, *Creation Heavenly Book*, *Supreme Elixir Scripture*, and so on, or even the Boat of Creation and the Eternal Kingdom.

The three girls begged him to continue.

The three little foxes chirped, pointed at the peanuts and roasted sweet potatoes on the ground, and then hopped away.

A grand voice resounded in his mind:

"Good."

If it were the former, that would be fine; at worst, he would just collect such objects of fortune in the future.

Yin Qi's consciousness instantly entered the depths of his mind, and he saw the foot-high red Fortune Essence suddenly surge, stopping only after it had increased to five feet.

Although he had practiced to the level of Night Wandering, his combat power was effectively zero, and his physical body was even worse.

Although he had obtained the *Past Amitabha Sutra*, the insights of a Ghost Immortal were equally important.

Although there were many foxes in the Pure Fox Clan, very few were able to practice to the point of leaving the body.

"Ah, what should we do? Where did the master's spirit go?"

Yin Qi smiled slightly and said, "I practiced to Night Wandering and went out for a stroll before coming back."

The three girls' eyes lit up, and they could only reluctantly return their spirits to their bodies.

Yin Qi also returned his spirit to his body and opened his eyes.

But fortunately, the Imperial Court immediately destroyed and banned it.

After the surprise, he also fell into deep thought.

Yin Qi nodded and turned back to the stone cave.

"These must be Xiao Sang, Xiao Fei, and Xiao Shu!"

Tu Lao was too serious; they didn't dare to chat with him.

When he returned to the Library Cave, he happened to see three little foxes lying motionless in front of him, but there were three twelve or thirteen-year-old girls rushing about in a panic.

After all, Hong Yi's rise was at least eighty percent due to the *Past Amitabha Sutra*; otherwise, he would have died long ago.

The three little girls were startled; they turned their heads in unison, looked at Yin Qi, and asked in surprise: "Are you the master? We are Xiao Sang, Xiao Fei, and Xiao Shu. How did you come back from outside?"

Looking at the three cute little girls, Yin Qi was in a great mood and said, "How about this, it is getting late today, so I will tell you a story. As for the world outside, I will tell you about it slowly in the future."

Yin Qi spoke right away and told a segment of the story of the Calabash Brothers.

"This... this can also obtain fortune!"

"A story, we love stories!"

"If that is the case, then we are in trouble. Without the protection of Incense, leaving the body rashly will cause one to be blown away by the night wind and have their soul scattered."

Tu Lao waved his hand and said, "Since you are practicing for the first time, your soul should not leave your body for too long; you had better go back first. I still need to walk around to see if there are any other wild beasts lurking nearby."

"Ah, tell us more, sir!"

Otherwise, there is no telling how many people would suffer.

"Sir, sir, tell us a little longer, what happened next? Was the grandfather rescued?"

"Many thanks, Tu Lao!"

Yin Qi nodded in agreement: "Tu Lao is right."

"Sir, sir, can you tell us about the world outside?"

"That's right, that's right, in the future, sir can often leave your body, and then we can chat."

It must be said that this Tu Lao is truly a good fox; he was willing to gift a method of Daoism upon first meeting, and it even had annotations from a Ghost Immortal.

They were dressed entirely in plain white, their sleeves fluttering, their features as if carved by a fine brush, revealing spirituality amidst their exquisite beauty.

They were trapped in Yougu and could find no one to talk to at all.

If it were the latter, was he supposed to keep pulling wool from Hong Yi?

"Hey!"

"Ah!"

Thinking of this, he hurriedly communicated with the Altar: "Altar, what is the reason for the increase in fortune this time? Also, tell me all the methods to increase fortune!"

"Yes, yes, we can only leave our bodies!"

Just at this moment.

Yin Qi thought to himself, but he feigned confusion and asked, "Who are you?"

"It's so interesting, I want to hear more!"

The Altar trembled slightly, blooming with a hazy light of Chaos.

In Yin Qi's mind, a stream of information suddenly appeared.

It was about fortune.
