Chapter 53: Chapter 51: Summoning and Chasing Technique

Upon realizing that, in addition to the Owl God Tomb, every accompanying tomb in Beimang Mountain concealed an enigmatic, Heavenly Facing Householder with unknown abilities.

Even in numbers, they didn’t dare to stay on the mountain overnight.

They carried several boxes of unearthed gold, silver, and jade artifacts down Beimang Mountain in a grand procession.

Planning to return in the daytime to excavate the other eight accompanying tombs.

Besides the treasures of considerable value, the only consolation was that these "Heavenly Facing Household" in their weird forms were essentially Yin Objects.

One of the patterns of murder was that they did not act during the day, inadvertently creating an excellent opportunity for them.

Returning to Daling Village.

Wang Yuan couldn’t care less about distributing the loot, his mind constantly fixed on the advantages promised by Lady Peach Fairy.

To avoid a long night filled with possible regrets, he washed off the corpse stink as soon as he got home and immediately rushed to knock on the Female Sorcerer’s courtyard door.

According to Lang Qi’s words, Beimang Mountain might become increasingly dangerous day by day, and it was only sensible to pocket any benefits as soon as possible and then convert them into tangible combat power.

Having just experienced the "visiting animated corpses," it was obvious that no one in Daling Village could sleep tonight, all busy dealing with the corpses overnight.

Seeing Wang Yuan, many well-informed individuals cast envious glances at him.

In the dead of night, to meet a beauty and receive Daoist teachings was something that made others both envious and jealous, each secretly resenting why such good fortune did not fall upon them.

But Wang Yuan couldn’t care less about their sentiments.

Lady Peach Fairy, being a Red Seal Mage, was a respected guest wherever she went.

The place where she stayed was also not at all shabby—it was the old residence that the Yu family had built over many years, even before Wang Yunhu became the clan leader. It might not be adorned with kiosks or tower pavilions, but it was indeed beautifully crafted with carved beams and painted rafters.

Thump, thump, thump...

After Wang Yuan knocked on the door.

The gate opened on its own accord, and the plants and trees rustled, guiding him along the path.

This was the power of the Human-Faced Peach Immortal’s Divine Power Talisman, which allowed her to use Magic without the need for mantras or incantations, as natural as flowing water.

Divine Skills might not necessarily be stronger than ordinary Magic, but they were infinitely more convenient.

He made his way to Lady Peach Fairy’s bedroom door.

But he discovered the door was not shut, and beneath the warm glow of candlelight emerged a breathtakingly beautiful woman.

Lady Peach Fairy had apparently just washed her face, her natural beauty unadorned with makeup, her glossy black hair draped over her moist shoulders, wearing a pale silk robe and leaning sideways on a Phoebe Zhennan wood couch.

Above her chest, a light green silk undergarment bulged attractively, and glimpses of her smooth skin became even more pearly and lustrous under the light.

Watching the beauty under the lamplight only made her seem more lovely.

If one could say that the similar-origin Human Face Painting Skill occupied the meaning of "broad," then the Human-Faced Peach Fairy Technique embodied the word "elegant."

Lady Peach Fairy could finely adjust her temperament and appearance, seeming always the same in the eyes of acquaintances, but entirely different to strangers, her like a pristine white moonlight.

Charming, aloof, sexy, adorable, innocent... all within easy reach.

Just one look would make the heart flutter.

The second glance could leave one hopelessly enraptured.

However.

At this moment, the one whose heart was beating the most wasn’t Wang Yuan, but another who had been waiting in Lady Peach Fairy’s room.

He was a handsome man with a prominent nose, dressed in a precious blue silk garment, appearing to be a dashing and elegant young gentleman.

But Wang Yuan knew that this was merely a façade.

Liu Yunhe, the bandit with a bounty of fifteen hundred taels, had at least spoiled the chastity of over a dozen young ladies from reputable families, and the associated murder cases numbered eight or nine.

Yet now, he was deferentially offering a copper basin filled with water, inviting Lady Peach Fairy to lift her skirts and submerge her feet in it.

This man, who ought to be bold enough to steal even the Noble Consort, was squatting beside her, timorously reaching his hand into the basin, desiring to wash her feet yet not daring to do so.

Wang Yuan watched him, looking dazedly foolish on the face, worried that he might just dip his head into the water and drown himself.

Suddenly, Wang Yuan realized he might have come at an inappropriate time and was about to temporarily withdraw.

Yet he saw Lady Peach Fairy smile radiantly at him, like a blooming peach blossom:

"Brother Cui, wait a moment. Let me have a midnight snack first, and then I’ll be ready."

This warm demeanor seemed somewhat different from when they had earlier collaborated to abduct Zhou Jingyao.

A thought struck Wang Yuan, and he couldn’t help recalling Lady Peach Fairy’s inexplicable change of mood on the mountain.

’Something is strange here. Could there have been an unexpected occurrence I am unaware of, or did she receive some news?

I must see what this demoness is up to.’

No sooner had Lady Peach Fairy spoken.

Wang Yuan saw that Liu Yunhe, already utterly beguiled by the Human-Faced Peach Immortal Skill, had a pink petal on his brow which seemed to come alive.

The petals unfurled one by one, luring even more of the bandit’s passions.

As his lust for Lady Peach Fairy grew more intense, his life force and soul stirred, on the verge of leaving his body and soaring away.

"Heh heh..."

His body convulsed, his eyes rolled back, emitting indistinct sounds from his throat.

And those peach petals began to take root, sprout, and grow rapidly into a Human-Faced Peach on a small tree.

Immediately after, a delicate hand plucked the fresh peach fruit with ease.

He took a deep breath, and the Human-Faced Peach that strongly resembled the Liu Yunhe transformed into a puff of red mist, entering the beauty’s nostrils.

The Liu Yunhe that had been drained of life fell to the ground with a "thud".

On its withered, pale face was an expression of color and vitality, exceedingly joyful; God knows what it saw before its death.

Lady Peach Fairy also completed the task of consuming humans during the "Summer Solstice" of the twenty-four solar terms.

She looked radiant and enchantingly gorgeous, even more tempting than a juicy peach.

Her charm was infinitely amplified!

Then, with a turn of her eyes, she scanned Wang Yuan from head to toe and didn’t forget to tease him:

"I really didn’t want Brother Cui to witness such an unsightly scene.

Who knew that Brother Cui would be so eager, arriving with the moon’s stride, not wanting the fairy to guard an empty boudoir alone?"

Her voice was slightly husky, laden with a lazy cat-like allure, making one’s heart race.

Wang Yuan was accustomed to seeing death and felt nothing more than a lament for those who ended with nothing despite their efforts.

But in front of Lady Peach Fairy, he hastily bowed his head, daring not to look more – all the while summoning the image of his little female ghost in his mind to desperately fend off temptation.

He thought, ’First she promises Daoist Skills, now she’s using seduction? Gifts of obligation often come with expected reciprocity!’

Yet his face remained earnest:

"Lady Peach Fairy makes a jest. How could I, Cui, possess the virtue and ability to catch the eye of the Lady Peach Fairy? I came at the invitation, please bestow upon me the technique."

Although he felt the situation was strange, he couldn’t bring himself to leave immediately in the face of potential benefits.

He decided to see what advantages he could gain first.

"Giggle giggle giggle..."

Lady Peach Fairy was very pleased with her own charm and gently handed him a few pages of rice paper that bore the scent of her light and elegant fragrance.

Wang Yuan looked down to see that the paper was filled with various Magics, although it only contained a general introduction and the most important precept taboos, it was enough for Wang Yuan to use as a reference.

The first three techniques were miscellaneous skills not ranked by grade.

[White Snake Divination Method]: Invite snake spirits to possess the body atop the immortal’s pavilion to perform divinations, ensuring all calculations meet with satisfaction (This ’snake spirit’ is also none other than the "Willow Immortal" from the five great immortal families).

Only those with the ’Si’ in their birth charts or born in the year of the snake may cultivate it.

Although it doesn’t require an absence in one of the five defects and three deficiencies like the Three Lives Bird Calculation Book, over time, snake-like habits will gradually emerge, such as eating rodents, hibernating, a decrease in body temperature, etc.

Eventually, even snake scales will grow, turning into a half-human, half-snake monster.

Unless one does not rely on the Snake Immortal for tasks or possesses profound Taoist ability, this transformation cannot be reversed.

No matter how much one practices, Enlightenment cannot be achieved.

[Imperial Spirit Chicken Technique]: With Spirit Talismans and Spirit Food, one can raise an ordinary rooster into a Spiritual Bird that obeys commands, with strong restraint over various Yin Objects and poisons.

However, it shares the lifespan with its master; they flourish and decline together.

’A chicken’s normal lifespan is only three to five years; averaging this directly takes away half of my life.

Even if the Spirit Chicken is powerful, after all, it is just a chicken.’

Wang Yuan didn’t even bother to look at the following technique, [Thousand-Cup Intoxication Immunity Technique], considering it the most trivial of trivial skills - what use would it be even if it could handle ten thousand cups without getting drunk?

Following that.

The "Xiangshan Seventy-Two Techniques," which are related to the [Transformation into Tiger Technique] and [Gathering Beasts Magic Skill], also included three skills.

It had been mentioned in the Taoist Book of the Wild Dog Daoist that Master Ge had been one of the contributors to the downfall of the Xiangshan Sect, clearly benefitting substantially from it.

Unfortunately, it did not include the [Tame Bird Skill] that Wang Yuan desired most.

The first technique was [Transfer Staff Skill].

Once mastered, it allows one to transfer the damage from attacks received onto another object, thus shifting the injury.

It is somewhat similar to the "Hairless Rat" Wen Junsheng’s [Thieves’ Essential Oil Technique].

The drawback wasn’t as significant as "cannot drink raw water," a pity that it required a natural Wood Destiny, which had to be abandoned.

The next two techniques, however, instantly invigorated him.

[Summoning Magic]: This skill allows for the summoning of certain items from afar.

[Expelling Technique]: It enables one to send items back to their original place.

What’s essential is not the skills themselves, but the fact that these two Magics can be combined, just like the [Gathering Beasts Magic Skill] and [Tame Bird Skill], to form a new skill, [Summoning and Chasing Technique]!

Essentially, it is Object Manipulation!

Precept Taboo:

[1. Dietary Restriction. One must practice with the wing bones of fierce birds like the Golden Eagle and Night Owl; after practicing, one must not consume any kind of bird, including chickens and ducks.]

[2. The Golden Eagle represents Yang, and the Night Owl represents Yin; at the daily times of Yin-Yang harmony, one must not sleep.

Sitting meditation and burning one talisman are necessary, while consuming the smoke coming from the sunrise and evening clouds will strengthen the force of the manipulation.]

[3. This Side Door and affordable method cannot be compared to the method of Sword Control; it fears Yang elements such as Black Dog Blood, Vermillion, Thunder, and the like.]

Although these precepts and taboos deprive the cultivator the possibility of sleeping in,

the effects are extremely strong, and with the Thief Cat Cui Tong’s most proficient techniques [Golden Winged Jade Waist Slave] and Pickpocket, it is the perfect match.

The already mystical Rope Dart Technique [Golden Winged Jade Waist Slave], coupled with this wireless control of Object Manipulation, would ensure that within ten steps, the golden thread steel darts could rival a Flying Sword!
