I forge immortality with spiritual treasures.

Chapter 29 The Enforcer
"Nonsense!"

"Don't you know that it's forbidden to experiment with spells and magical artifacts indiscriminately within a Taoist academy?"

The Red-Crowned Taoist scolded, "You've caused such a commotion."

Ying Chan could only obediently accept the training.

He was naturally aware that experimenting with magic spells and magical artifacts was forbidden within the Taoist academy.

However, this rule is not that strict, because most of the disciples in the academy are still at the beginner to minor completion stage of Qi Refining, and cannot cultivate any powerful spells.

Before Ying Chan, he practiced breathing and controlling the wind every day, but he didn't cause any trouble.

He hadn't expected that the reforged Qiankun Bow would be so powerful; a single shot had alarmed the Dao Academy...

"Disciple knows his mistake."

Seeing Ying Chan's attitude, the red-crowned Taoist's expression finally softened: "It's good that you know you're wrong. Come back to the Ministry of State Affairs with me."

"Don't worry, if this is your first offense, you won't be punished much as usual."

"But since you disturbed the Hunqi Instrument, you must record the reason."

"A celestial sphere instrument?"

Ying Chan only recited a sentence subconsciously, but he did not expect that the Taoist would actually explain: "The Hunqi Instrument is a magic tool in the temple. The fluctuations of spiritual energy, the flow of earth energy, and even the changes of celestial phenomena around the temple are all under the supervision of the Hunqi Instrument."

"Why do you think testing magical artifacts here would alarm the Imperial Household Department?"

"I see."

Ying Chan suddenly realized.

He said that although the Qiankun Bow made a great commotion, it shouldn't have reached the Taoist academy and even alarmed the academy master. It turned out that there was a magical artifact supervising it.

He said sullenly, "This disciple did not get lucky; it was just that the power of the magic weapon exceeded this disciple's expectations."

The red-crowned Taoist waved his hand, not saying anything to him, and simply said, "Come up to the clouds."

As soon as he finished speaking, a wisp of smoke descended from the golden-red clouds beneath his feet, enveloping Ying Chan.

Ying Chan felt a sudden lightness throughout his body, and he was lifted off the ground.

"It seems we won't be able to gather any purple energy today."

He was still thinking about this matter, but he wasn't panicked. After landing on the cloud, he looked down with some curiosity: "Is this what it feels like to fly?"

Seeing this, the Red-Crowned Taoist was somewhat surprised.

After all, Qi Refining cultivators cannot fly off the ground, so it is quite rare to see someone remain so calm while on the clouds.

With a thought, he urged Yun Feichi to fly away. After a moment of silence, he suddenly asked, "Judging from your low cultivation level, how long have you been in the Dao Academy?"

Ying Chan paused for a moment before replying, "Master, I have been in the academy for over 150 days."

"One hundred and fifty days?"

A hint of surprise flashed across the face of the Crimson-Crowned Taoist.

"Exactly."

"In that case, your achievements are not shallow."

The red-crowned Taoist remained silent for a moment before saying, "I am not a Taoist master in the academy, so you don't need to call me academy master. Just call me Senior Brother Ji."

"Brother Ji?"

Ying Chan asked with some surprise, "Senior Brother, you can fly through the clouds, you must already be a Xuan Guang cultivator, right?"

“Not bad.” Daoist Ji said calmly, “I also took on a post from the Ministry of State Affairs and returned to the Daoist Academy to serve as a law enforcement Daoist for a year.”

"The Imperial Household Department, the Enforcement Daoist?"

Ying Chan realized, "So it's a senior brother who has already joined our sect?"

"Hmm." Daoist Ji nodded slightly: "Judging from your progress, you are very likely to become a disciple of our sect in the future."

"We'll still be of the same generation then, so there's no need to be too formal."

Ying Chan certainly didn't think he would stop at the Taoist academy.

However, he was not too complacent. Upon hearing this, he simply cupped his hands in greeting and replied, "Greetings, Senior Brother."

Master Ji nodded again, said nothing more, and quickly descended from the clouds, landing in front of the Office of State Affairs. At this time, the meditation had not yet begun, and there were hardly any people in the Office of State Affairs.

However, Ji Daoren cast a talisman and quickly summoned a young Daoist disciple.

The young Taoist greeted Master Ji and then Ying Chan, and finally brought out paper and pen to begin taking notes.

At this moment, Ji Daoren asked, "Junior Brother Ying, why are you testing the magical artifacts on the peak?"

"It's called a magic weapon, but it's really just a talisman bow," Ying Chan honestly replied. "Today, I reforged its divine runes, and then, wanting to test its power, I climbed to the peak where I usually gather qi and shot it towards the sea of ​​clouds..."

"A talismanic bow?"

Master Ji frowned slightly, and the young Taoist boy stopped recording.

He couldn't help but glance at the bow behind Ying Chan's shoulder a few more times: "The power of that strike must have exceeded that of ordinary magical artifacts."

"Just a talisman bow?"

Ying Chan replied, "That's right."

After a moment of silence, Daoist Ji said, "You're saying you crafted this talisman bow? As far as I know, the Daoist academy doesn't teach such powerful talisman crafting techniques."

After saying that, he explained, "It's not that I covet your teachings, but as a law enforcer, I must be truthful in everything I do."

"I understand," Ying Chan replied, then pondered for a moment before saying, "The method of forging this bow is what I learned before entering the Dao Academy."

"Um……"

Master Ji remained silent for a moment, then asked, "What did you learn at Yunshan Temple?"

It seems he checked the records of Yingchan entering the Taoist academy.

Ying thought for a moment and replied, "Exactly."

The method of forging the Qiankun Bow was naturally not learned from the old Taoist of Yunshan, but it would not be wrong to say that it was learned in Yunshan Temple.

As for the Spirit Treasure Dao Seed, this is arguably Ying Chan's biggest secret, and he doesn't want to reveal it unless absolutely necessary.

Fortunately, Master Ji did not ask any further questions. After instructing the young disciple to write it down, he asked a few more questions casually and then said, "In that case, considering that this is only your first offense, I will deduct a little bit of your Taoist merit and will not punish you further."

Ying Chan hurriedly bowed and said, "Thank you, Senior Brother."

Master Ji added, "In the future, if you want to test your magic and talismans, it would be best to go to the Yanfa Academy."

At the Daoist court, one can not only freely perform magical arts, but also consult with the Daoists within the court.

However, performing in court also requires skill.

Normally, very few people would go to the courthouse unless absolutely necessary.

Of course, Ying Chan naturally replied to Ji Daoren's instructions, "I understand."

Master Ji nodded and said, "Go."

Ying Chan bowed, but before leaving, he turned back and asked, "May I ask you a question, senior brother?"

Ji Daoren said, "Tell me."

Ying Chan cupped his hands and asked, "May I ask if your magic sword, Senior Brother, is a standard magic weapon of our sect?"

Ji Daoren was somewhat surprised. He glanced at the magic sword and replied, "It can't be considered a standard design, but it is indeed a magic weapon of our sect, exclusively for use by law enforcement Daoists."

Ying Chan suddenly realized: "So that's how it is."

"What, you've seen this magic sword before?"

“Indeed,” Ying Chan replied. “I was able to come to the Daoist academy because a Daoist gave me a leaf…”

"I saw this magic sword on him."

"Oh?" Daoist Ji nodded thoughtfully. "So it was the previous Enforcement Senior Brother..."

"You are quite fortunate; even while wandering aimlessly in the mountains, you were able to receive guidance from my senior brother."

"However, even without that leaf, you would still encounter that rain and arrive at the Taoist temple."

He laughed as he spoke: "Although the methods of our sect's trials are never ordinary, they are all based on the same principle."
