[Title: Pastor]

[Profound Yin Soul Fragment: Third Level (Non-upgradable)]

[Heavenly Show Points: 3 (5%)]

[Thousand Gates: Opening (55%)]

...

"Indeed... Young Master Shen Xiu’s debut this time has yielded quite a bit... These Heavenly Show Points are too easy to obtain, is it because this world is different?"

Zhong Shenxiu walked out of the drill field, looking at his attribute panel, silently excited.

Besides that, the progress of that Thousand Gates also intrigued him.

Could it be that once it opened, it would be time for the next transmigration?

To be truthful, he didn’t want to leave this world, as the environment was pleasant, and worlds where one could cultivate immortality didn’t come by easily.

But the progress of the Thousand Gates was automatic with time, and there was nothing he could do about it.

"Now that I’ve received the order to investigate Young Master Shen Xiu, I at least have to put on a show... Of course, no one is foolish enough to offend a Superpower Expert. The government sure works efficiently..."

"Wait, I just met the Spiritual Crane Daoist; perhaps this isn’t a government task but a private mission from the Cloud Mirror Sect..."

"In that case, I shall... slack off."

Zhong Shenxiu was clear in his thinking; whether the task was from the government or a private affair, he planned to drag his feet for a while anyway.

The world is vast, but personal cultivation is paramount.

Hence, he went through the motions and strolled outside the city; as soon as the sun passed its zenith, he returned to the city and had a lovely afternoon nap at home.

In the afternoon, he guided Er Ha, Huang Xie, Su Tang, Su Wei, and others in their practice.

In this world, even women need to possess some strength.

After dinner, he sat alone in meditation in his quiet room.

This was not to practice any martial arts techniques, mainly exploring the various abilities of the "Pastor" and tuning into the Netherworld.

Days passed by, substantial yet mundane.

Just as Zhong Shenxiu anticipated, with his identity as Su Daoshi, possessing both strength and backing and keeping a consistently low profile, nobody particularly harassed him.

Especially since this was Fufeng City!

The core of the Fufeng Protectorate lay here, with five thousand Black Wind Army soldiers maintaining order and countless hidden cultivation experts; if a situation arose here that could affect Zhong Shenxiu, the entire Protectorate would be nearing its end.

That night.

Zhong Shenxiu sat cross-legged: "No lead on the quest for Young Master Shen Xiu, and Feng Xixi isn’t rushing; maybe it really is a private mission?"

"But that’s none of my business! After all these days of attempting to connect with the Netherworld, I finally have some results..."

His eyes grew profound, the surrounding light instantly turned hazy and dim.

A far broader and obscurer realm suddenly appeared before Zhong Shenxiu.

This was the Netherworld!

A mysterious place that even practicing cultivators found difficult to access.

During this time, Zhong Shenxiu had also secretly gathered various books describing the Netherworld, generally saying that the Underworld enforced strict laws, and communication between Yin and Yang was taboo, even for Primordial Pill Masters, who might not wish to descend into the Yin Soil with their physical bodies.

"I’m not yet at the point where I can descend directly, but I can open a narrow passage..."

Zhong Shenxiu used the ability of the Pastor, his inspiration spreading, and within the Netherworld, it seemed as though he had opened a trivial crack.

This crack was as small as a mustard seed, not even a wisp of a ghost could squeeze through.

But within the room, there suddenly came gusts of chilling wind, even the temperature dropped several degrees, and on the copper basin filled with clear water, a layer of white frost suddenly formed.

"In this Netherworld, there is no shortage of good things, such as some unique Yin Sha Qi."

Zhong Shenxiu took out a jade bottle he had prepared earlier and used the spatial Divine Skills of the Headless Earl to draw filaments of black energy tinged with silver-white from the Netherworld, infusing it into the bottle.

This was Xuanyin Evil Qi!

In the Second Yan Han Empire, it was an extremely rare type of vital energy, found only in certain places of utmost yin, at the sites of evil currents, and accumulated over a long period, you may find one or two strands.

But within the Netherworld, it was as common as the air, dispersed everywhere.

The bit of evil qi that Zhong Shenxiu harvested was like a drop of water in the ocean, practically unnoticed.

Once the evil qi entered the jade bottle, the temperature of the entire bottle plummeted, fortunately, the quality of the bottle purchase by Zhong Shenxiu was top-notch, so it did not crack instantly.

A layer of frost formed inside the bottle, and as more and more Xuanyin Evil Qi continuously flowed in, it even began to solidify into a liquid.

One night passed.

Zhong Shenxiu got up, rubbed his forehead, and found that the jade bottle was already half full, tinkling when shaken.

"In another two nights, I will have collected a complete strand of Xuanyin Evil Qi, which, among cultivators, is considered hard currency, not any worse than Yellow Emperor Coins."

Many spells can be refined with Xuanyin Evil Qi, making it very popular among cultivators, and its value is even higher.

"Indeed, there are great treasures within the Netherworld."

"I have no use for this strand of evil qi right now, trading it would be quite good."

"It’s said that within Netherworld, there are also Yellow Spring Evil Qi, Six Yin True Evil, Netherworld King Evil, Yin Dragon Evil, and other extremely precious evil qis, if I could get my hands on them, I could practice several extremely sharp spells..."

"Too bad, these evil qis are not like Xuanyin Evil Qi, even in the Netherworld they are quite precious, requiring the searching for specific ley line nodes, and without a true body or a Yin God entering, they are hard to come by."

...

To this, Zhong Shenxiu just sighed and did not think too much about it.

His biggest bottleneck right now was breaking through the Gang Sha Realm!

The Yellow Sand Saint’s Cultivation Technique was too crude, and it even lacked a record of the name and formula for the breakthrough Elixir Pills.

Otherwise, Zhong Shenxiu might indeed be tempted to give it a try.

If the Innate Martial Practitioners of this world knew of an elixir that, upon consumption, could lead to a breakthrough, ninety-nine percent of them would want to try it.

Still, Zhong Shenxiu somewhat looked down upon such Loose Cultivator methods.

Not to mention the scattered inheritance, it all seemed to have no hope of advancing to Divine Skills.

Such a Gang Sha Realm, needless to say, though called a proper cultivator, must be the lowest existence among cultivators, truly a bleak prospect.

Therefore, he kept to his original plan, to seek another, more superior inheritance under the guise of Divine Power Practitioner Young Master Shen Xiu.

The upcoming Black Mountain Small Meeting was a good opportunity.

A high-level practitioner of the Divine Power Realm had considerable strength throughout the Fufeng Protectorate and could securely enter the upper echelons.

By then, there would surely be a large number seeking to win him over.

Even the official authorities might do the same.

Zhong Shenxiu was not adverse to this, but actually somewhat looked forward to it.

After all, the Ten Directions Beast Skill was so widely spread, said to be able to lay a robust foundation for entering the way, indicating that its subsequent Cultivation Technique inheritance should be quite remarkable.
