Chapter 638: Dai Bufan: Give You Two a Task

"The thing about using solar energy to emit light and heat sounds familiar. This Immortal has done it before." On the way back, the Immortal Fairy said with a smile, stretching comfortably.

She cultivated by sleeping on the bed, restoring her strength. Now that she is awake, it indicates that the cultivation process has come to a temporary end.

"Fairy, you worked hard sleeping. Did you also use solar energy in ancient times?"

"I haven't heard of solar energy, but the methods should be about the same."

"How did you use it?"

"For a while, I liked reading books quite a bit. I read during the day and at night. Although this Immortal has excellent eyesight and can see clearly even in places without light, this kind of thing has no atmosphere."

"So this Immortal invited a Jin Wu, let it rest during the day and not emit light, and let it emit light to illuminate for this Immortal at night. Don't tell me, it was as bright as the day."

"Sometimes when cooking, the firepower is not enough, this Immortal will invite a Jin Wu to help blow fire and heat. Of course, this Immortal will not let it help for free. Every time this Immortal will keep it for dinner."

"............ I think the use of the power of the sun to emit light and heat that I said is not the same thing."

"Is it? This Immortal thinks it's about the same. Look, did this Immortal store the power of the sun first?"

"Yes."

"Is it releasing the power of the sun after storing it?"

"Yes."

The Immortal Fairy clapped her hands: "That's it, exactly the same."

Lu Yang patiently distinguished the two for the Immortal Fairy: "The solar energy I said, besides being used to emit light and heat, can also be used to heat water, can replace horses, and let the car run."

"The power of the sun of this Immortal also works, let the Jin Wu boil water, or pull this Immortal to fly everywhere, etc."

Lu Yang:

After fooling the two Sect Leaders according to the plan, the Heavenly Court Sect members returned to the Congwendao Sect.

Lu Yang was trying to explain to the Immortal Fairy that solar energy was not what she thought.

Meng Jingzhou was looking at the cultivation method filialized by the Yaoyang Sect, learning how to absorb the power of the sun to the greatest extent.

On the cultivation method, a naked man faced the sun, opened his arms, and let the sunlight touch every inch of his skin. The painting was vivid, lifelike, and simple and easy to understand.

In the blank space on the edge, the Yaoyang Sect also noted that one must take off all clothes, not even a piece of cloth, especially the crotch. There is no shame in cultivation.

The reason given is also very sufficient: other places are cultivating, does the crotch not need to be cultivated?

Besides that, various postures for sunbathing were listed.

The Yaoyang Sect considered it carefully. Besides the men's version, the cultivation method also had a women's version.

Meng Jingzhou looked at the two books in his hand and remained silent.

On the cover of the second book was a naked woman, with a charming posture, as if excited by sunbathing. He was considering whether to open it.

No wonder no one learns the cultivation method of your sect. Is this a serious cultivation method?

The four Dharma-Protecting Heavenly Kings threw Lu Yang and the other two at the entrance of the sect and returned to their respective peaks.

"Do you feel that there are fewer people in our sect?" Lu Yang said. Whether it was on the way here or in the Mission Hall, there were fewer sect disciples than usual.

"Now that you

The two of them came to the Mission Hall to report the situation of this operation to Dai Bufan.

"Senior Brother Dai, the overall situation regarding our contact with the two sects is like this... Senior Brother Dai?"

After Lu Yang and Meng Jingzhou finished their report, they discovered that Dai Bufan was somewhat absent-minded, seemingly thinking about other matters.

Dai Bufan snapped out of his trance: "Ah, right, you two did well. The money the two sects bribed you with is money you swindled through your own ability, so there's no need to turn it over to the sect."

Afterward, Dai Bufan looked at the two of them with a conflicted expression, as if a battle between heaven and man was raging within him. Hesitant and indecisive, he finally gritted his teeth and made a major decision: "You two came at the right time; I happen to have a mission here that needs you to complete."

"A mission?"

Dai Bufan pushed a small booklet toward the two of them. The booklet contained information on several mortals, none of whom were very old.

"These people are..."

"These people are candidates for this sect's recruitment. The plan is to observe their character before the recruitment begins to see if they can cultivate and if they meet our sect's standards. If they do, we will invite them to come to our sect on the second day of the second lunar month next year for the entrance examination."

Excluding disciples who were at critical stages of cultivation, executing other missions, staying behind to maintain the sect's operations, or currently at the Void Refinement stage, most of the Congwendao Sect disciples had been sent out by Dai Bufan to observe the character of the candidates.

Observing character is not something that yields results in a day or two; it takes at least a month, and up to half a year is possible, so those sent out might not have the time to execute a second observation mission.

It was only because they were truly short-handed that Dai Bufan had no choice but to let Lu Yang and Meng Jingzhou go observe the candidates' character as well.

This was precisely the point he had been struggling with all along.

If he weren't unable to get away, he would rather do the mission himself than ask Lu Yang and the other to do it.

Who knows what kind of trouble they might stir up.

"So that's how it is." Lu Yang revealed a confident smile, patting his chest in assurance, "Senior Brother Dai, don't worry. You know us two, don't you? We will definitely complete the mission!"

Dai Bufan sighed and, as usual, reminded the two before they left: "If you discover people outside of this list who also meet our sect's recruitment criteria, you may also recommend them to me."

"No problem."

"By the way, do you know our sect's requirements for character when recruiting?" Dai Bufan still wasn't very reassured.

"Be an honest and dutiful person."

"Cultivate in a down-to-earth manner."

Dai Bufan nodded, feeling slightly relieved: "As long as you know, go ahead."

In the carriage, the two flipped through the information in the booklet; there were three mortals in total, all around fifteen years old.

"Let's go to Jiulong City in Qingzhou first; it's the closest to us."

Meng Jingzhou pointed to the mortal on the first page of the booklet and said.

The mortal on the first page was a young boy named Xie An, discovered by a certain senior brother while he was on his way to execute a mission in Jiulong City.

That was a mission to eradicate a Red-Clad Vengeful Ghost. The Red-Clad Vengeful Ghost had committed many evils. After a carpet-search, that senior brother finally found the ghost's whereabouts. Seeing that it was no match for the senior brother and realizing the senior brother dared not use his full strength in a place with many mortals, the ghost concluded that the senior brother was concerned for the mortals, so it used their lives as leverage to seek a path to survival.

And the person being held hostage was Xie An.

At the critical moment, Xie An displayed an extremely steady psychological quality. Even when held hostage by the Red-Clad Vengeful Ghost, he did not panic. He even used words to provoke the ghost. In a fit of rage, the ghost revealed a flaw and was killed by the senior brother.

At that time, Xie An was still young and had not reached the age for testing spiritual roots, so it was unknown what his aptitude was like.

"Looking at it this way, this kid named Xie An is indeed a seed suitable for cultivation." Lu Yang laughed. Remaining calm in the face of danger is something many cultivators cannot do. Only with this kind of psychological quality when facing danger is there a possibility of survival.

He and Old Meng both possessed this kind of psychological quality.
