Ning An's Wild Wish System

They heard a sound approaching from afar, and then a young man walked in from outside.

He was dressed in a Daoist robe, with long flowing hair, exuding an indescribable grace.

With his hands in his pockets, he seemed to savor the gazes from those around him.

With a slight flick of his right hand, a few pieces of thin yellow paper suddenly appeared between his index and middle fingers; they were clearly Maoshan talismans.

He stretched out his right hand and pulled out a brand new talisman paper, then snapped his fingers lightly with his left hand, and the talisman paper instantly ignited without fire.

A few flashes of light flickered, ripples appeared in the space, and then a black hole emerged from thin air.

The young man reached in, pulled out a few scriptures, and some small stones.

At a glance, these items weighed about four to five pounds combined.

This single move made the room fall silent instantly.

”This is...”

Inside the room, all the Daoists widened their eyes, and the whispers around them vanished.

After the Dharma Decline Era, the orthodox Dragon Tiger Mountain had fallen greatly.

But Maoshan was different; even during the Magic Era spanning several hundred years, it remained active in the world.

Both in reality and in novels, Maoshan was most renowned for ghost expelling and talisman drawing.

The most famous of all was undoubtedly Uncle Ying’s zombie movies, which brought Maoshan Daoists to worldwide fame.

The Daoists present naturally knew more about Maoshan skills than ordinary people.

Now, this talisman technique instantly tore open their withered hearts.

However, the young man’s performance was not over.

He again drew out a talisman and attached it to a peach wood sword, his loud voice echoing in the room:

”Shangqing Decree, Thunder come!”

The tip of the peach wood sword faced upwards, and everyone’s gaze followed upward, only to hear thunder rumble in the room, and several lightning bolts struck from the void, directly onto the peach wood sword!

Li Sanyu watched carefully, couldn’t help exclaiming: ”This is Maoshan’s Thunder-Attracting Talisman!”

”It’s the Thunder-Attracting Talisman!”

Beside him, the elderly Daoist Wang Xun from the Shenxiao Sect stood up abruptly, his tone excited: ”This Thunder-Attracting Talisman, I’ve only seen it recorded in scriptures, never thought I’d see it today, excellent!”

”Bang!”

The lightning dissipated, and the room fell into dead silence again.

All the Daoists were silent, but they had no further objections to this matter.

Zhang Yuanyi saw this, waved his hand, and smiled, letting the young man leave first.

Then he looked at everyone and said, ”The young Daoist just now is from Maoshan, do you all believe it now?”

”Huh...”

Qian Wu smacked his lips and couldn’t help but say, ”Maoshan? I heard before that Maoshan produced a powerful figure, seems like he practices the Corpse Cultivation Technique?”

Zhang Yuanyi nodded slightly, not avoiding the topic: ”Yes, that person is named Quan Xiaobai, practicing the Lower Mao Technique with his master.”

”Hmm? Where is he, can we meet him?” Qian Wu asked.

Zhang Yuanyi glanced at him with a subtle expression: ”He should be in the Capital now; if you want to see him, you have to go to the Capital personally.”

The Capital!

The moment the people present heard these two words, they understood instantly.

It was obvious that this person had pledged allegiance to the current Court.

Unlike in novels where all sects are very disgusted with aligning with the Court, even to the point of fighting; if that ever happened, those would be useless people!

Only those with real ability could pledge allegiance to the Court and receive its recognition.

Though they lose a bit of trivial freedom, they gain countless resources and support from the Court, benefits far outweighing the drawbacks.

Aside from a few ascetic Daoists, most Daoists eagerly desired to become the Court’s dogs.

Therefore, after a brief silence, everyone turned to more practical issues.

”How many spots are available to go to the Capital?”

”No limit for now, the more, the better.”

”Can I go?”

”Of course, but you’ll need to pass a qualification review.”

”What do we need to do to go to the Capital?”

”Not sure for now.”

”...”

Meanwhile, Ye Yunqing, who hadn’t spoken all this while, suddenly said: ”What about Quanzhen?”

At this, the room fell into silence again.

Zhang Yuanyi did not deny it, calmly saying: ”Yes, Baiyun Temple in the Capital should also be holding a ritual similar to ours, and they possess even more than we do.”

He continued, ”Fellow Daoists, our two sects have been competing for the Daoist orthodoxy for nearly two thousand years. Now that Daoist skills are resurfacing, whether it’s a blessing or a curse, we’ll see who’s more capable.”

...

Now, in Z City University Town.

Zhang Xiaodan, disheartened, ran out of the classroom and headed straight for the faculty office.

At that time, the faculty leaders were in a meeting, but before the dean could speak, sobbing was heard.

”Dean, all leaders, you have to stand up for me.”

The voice was shrill, and it instantly made many faculty leaders frown.

Seeing who it was, Vice Director Wang relaxed his brow, concerned, ”Student Zhang, what happened to you?”

Zhang Xiaodan rushed in from the doorway, even stumbled and fell to the ground, sobbing: ”That Li Yang, he’s not human, he broke his promise, he clearly signed the letter of understanding, but he’s still suing me, sob sob sob...”

”He signed a letter of understanding, how could he still sue you?”

Vice Director Wang paused as he was about to help her up, his tone puzzled.

”Really, leaders, I’m not lying to you...”

Crying and handing the lawsuit copy in her hand to Vice Director Wang.

Vice Director Wang took it skeptically, then looked closely, astonished.

It really was a copy of the lawsuit!
