"Hold your Primordial Spirit, let your mind be empty."
After entering the main gate, He Xiuyuan followed the young Daoist for dozens of meters, then saw a huge stone on his left.
The stone was extremely flat, and more than ten Daoists were standing on top of it, practicing their Cultivation.
This stone stood on the edge of a cliff, and as the Daoists practiced, the mountain wind swept over, causing their clothes to flap loudly.
He Xiuyuan couldn't help but pause his steps, watching these Daoists practice.
Truth be told, this was the first time He Xiuyuan had seen other Cultivators practice, so he couldn't help but feel a bit curious.
The young Daoist beside him saw He Xiuyuan curiously observing, so he also stood by, not urging He Xiuyuan, allowing him to watch.
A moment later, the Cultivators of Biluo Temple finally finished their practice, then stood up in unison and walked back.
However, when they turned around and saw a stranger standing beside their Junior Brother, their expressions were also surprised.
"Junior Brother, who is this person beside you...?"
The Cultivators all walked over, their gazes curiously sizing up He Xiuyuan.
The young Daoist quickly introduced him to his Senior Brothers, "Everyone, this is He Xiuyuan, a Cultivator from the Mortal Realm who Cultivated on his own and then found his way to our Biluo Temple."
The Cultivators present immediately understood, then they all bowed, "Greetings, He Fellow Daoist, He Fellow Daoist is truly impressive to be able to explore and Cultivate on his own!"
"It seems He Fellow Daoist has extraordinary talent. If there's an Opportunity in the future, we must have a good exchange or two."
The Cultivators also appeared very enthusiastic at this moment.
Although it was their first meeting with He Xiuyuan, when they observed He Xiuyuan with their observation Spell, they could see that there was no Evil Qi on him.
From this, it was clear that even though He Xiuyuan was a Cultivator from the Mortal Realm, he had never used Spells to do evil.
Such a Cultivator, with an upright Heart-Nature, was already worthy of their deep friendship.
Furthermore, they even held some admiration for He Xiuyuan's ability to Cultivate independently and succeed through his own exploration.
Seeing this, He Xiuyuan also quickly cupped his hands in return.
After the Cultivators bowed one by one, they then left.
"Fellow Daoist, please come to this pavilion for tea and wait for a moment."
"Once Master learns of Fellow Daoist's arrival, he will surely come to meet you."
The young Daoist led He Xiuyuan to sit down in a nearby pavilion.
After He Xiuyuan sat down, the young Daoist immediately brewed a pot of hot tea.
........
"I never thought that someone in the Mortal Realm could Cultivate on their own; that's truly impressive."
At this moment, the Cultivators who were walking forward couldn't help but start discussing He Xiuyuan, whom they had just met.
They were also very surprised by this Cultivator who could Cultivate on his own.
Such things weren't unheard of, but they were very rare.
However, those previous Cultivators from the Mortal Realm who Cultivated independently all succeeded through fortuitous Opportunities.
Presumably, this He Xiuyuan in front of them was also the same.
"It is indeed very rare. If there were more such Cultivators, and they also had the Heart to eliminate demons and defend the Dao, that would be even better. I wonder if that He Fellow Daoist just now has such intentions."
A Senior Brother beside him listened to these words, thought for a moment, and then said.
"I observe no Evil Qi on him. This person must not have killed anyone in the Mortal Realm, otherwise, he would surely carry Evil Qi."
"Possessing a Sharp Weapon but not having killing intent, this person's Heart-Nature is already very good."
"As for whether he has the Heart to eliminate demons and defend the Dao, even if he does, what then? You wouldn't be thinking of letting him eliminate demons and defend the Dao, would you? It's already extremely difficult for him to Cultivate on his own to this point."
"As for letting him eliminate demons and defend the Dao, let's just forget it. Are you perhaps expecting him to have Cultivated some powerful Spell?"
"Truly letting him eliminate demons and defend the Dao would harm him and ruin his Cultivation. This is something we absolutely cannot do."
"His Cultivation was not easy. When Master sees him later, he should give him some Spells so he can Cultivate properly first. As for the matter of eliminating demons and defending the Dao, let us do it for now."
Several older Daoists nearby shook their heads repeatedly upon hearing these words.
They didn't think that He Xiuyuan, this Cultivator from the Mortal Realm, could have much Dao at his current stage of Cultivation.
As for Cultivating some powerful Spell, that was even more impossible.
The young Junior Brothers nearby were stunned upon hearing this, and then, as if realizing something, they subconsciously looked towards their Senior Brothers.
"Senior Brother... could it be that...?"
The expressions of several young Junior Brothers were somewhat grim, and they couldn't help but ask.
The Senior Brothers nearby hesitated for a moment but ultimately had no intention of hiding anything.
"Yes, the Yin Qi in Qiuyun Valley is about to gather again. To prevent those fellows from causing trouble, we must go there."
"I wonder this time, how many of us will be able to return alive."
The leading Senior Brother's expression was somewhat heavy as he spoke.
Qiuyun Valley, due to its unique terrain and an Yin Vein beneath the mountain range, was where, many years ago, the secular Dynasty had ambushed and slaughtered hundreds of thousands of soldiers during a war, causing resentment to soar and Yin Qi to gather and not disperse, making it a great place of misfortune.
Every three years, this Yin Qi would surge once.
And at this time, countless evil spirits would be attracted, wanting to Cultivate by using this Yin Qi, and some evil spirits also wanted to make this Yin Qi rush out of Qiuyun Valley.
If these evil spirits were to succeed, then the world would truly fall into chaos.
For this reason, every three years, Biluo Temple had to dispatch some Cultivators to suppress this place, lest those evil spirits succeed.
However, this suppression was easier said than done. Every three years, several Cultivators from Biluo Temple who went there would perish.
Over the years, countless Cultivators had already died in Biluo Temple.
This time, it was uncertain whether any of them would return.
The Junior Brothers nearby stiffened in place upon hearing this.
"Senior Brother, why don't I go too? Junior Brother, I at least have some Dao on me, so I should be able to help a bit!"
A Junior Brother nearby couldn't help but say.
However, as soon as he spoke, the Senior Brother beside him waved his hand, "My Senior Brother went back then, and now it's our turn to go. Don't try to take our place."
"When it's your turn to go, it will still be soon enough."
"While there's still time, go and draw some Talismans. That can be considered helping us Senior Brothers."
The leading Senior Brother directly stopped the young Junior Brothers from speaking.
If they truly let these young Junior Brothers go to Qiuyun Valley, wouldn't that harm them?
With the Dao of those evil spirits, they could probably take their lives in a single encounter.
So, no matter what, letting these Junior Brothers go to Qiuyun Valley was absolutely unacceptable.
The Junior Brothers nearby felt their hearts sink upon hearing this, then nodded and headed towards the main hall.
Since they couldn't go to help, they could only use this time to help their Senior Brothers draw more Talismans.
