The rain rattled...
The bean-sized droplets of the summer rain smashed into the eaves of the imperial city.
After Chen Mo entered into the depths of the palace, he could clearly see that the number of guards on patrol had decreased, but the sense of oppression had increased little by little.
After he pushed open a heavy vermilion door.
What caught his eye was actually a green bamboo forest. The rain beat on the bamboo leaves, which made the green forest even brighter.
There was only one path in the bamboo forest.
When Chen Mo stepped into the bamboo forest, the previous sense of oppression disappeared.
What followed was unparalleled relaxation.
"Brother Hong, I feel that my breathing is smoother after we entered this bamboo forest," Little Hong said after he took a long breath.
The two did not walk for long.
A huge Taoist temple appeared in front of Chen Mo.
The whole Taoist temple was blue-gray in color and covered in glazed tiles. The ground was spotless, and there was not a single bamboo leaf in sight.
In front of the temple was also an incense burner.
The incense burner was open-air, but the lid was hollowed out. Under the rain, the flame inside did not go out, and the smoke continued to rise.
It gave a feeling that only otherworldly people lived here.
After Chen Mo spotted the figure in the Taoist temple, he headed to that direction with Little Mirror.
In the middle of the temple was a very magnificent palace, but there were no statues as it seemed more like a place to rest.
When Chen Mo arrived, Wang Ying and Cai'er were all waiting here.
"Where's Her Majesty?" Chen Mo asked quietly.
"Her Majesty just worshiped the Nine Heavens Thunder Deity, and is now praying for blessings in the Clarity Hall," Wang Ying saw Chen Mo, and responded. Then, she took the food box in Chen Mo's hand.
"The imperial teacher said that when praying for blessings, you must be faithful and sincere. None of us can disturb or leave the temple, since you are already here, just stay here..."
He gave the food box to Cai'er.
Chen Mo nodded, then thought for a moment, and said, "Chief Wang, can I go and worship the Nine Heavens Thunder Deity? I also want to seek blessing for His Majesty"
Chen Mo didn't know much about Taoism, he only knew the Three Pure Ones and Laozi.
As for Nine Heavens Thunder Deity.
With such a long name, it was the first time he's heard of it.
However, based on the name, he seemed to be a powerful god.
Maybe he could expand his gold talent, so Chen Mo didn't want to miss this opportunity.
Wang Ying was speechless.
You already said you're going to pray for His Majesty.
Can I really say no?
"Be quiet..."
After Wang Ying said something softly, he pointed out the direction to Chen Mo.
Chen Mo's eyes lit up, and he walked over quickly.
It was strange to say, but inside the huge Taoist temple, he didn't even see a Taoist priest.
When he came to the temple where the statues were worshiped, there was incense on the table next to it.
There are three statues inside, one of which was the largest and the most majestic, about three feet or so, and then there were two statues next to it.
They were all a head shorter than the statue in the middle.
Before Chen Mo transmigrated, he was an atheist.
After the transmigration, and after the fact that he transmigrated into a martial arts world, he had to respect them a little bit. What if the god statue enshrined in this world really existed, and if he acted disrespectfully he would suffer consequences...
Chen Mo then burned a few incense sticks and worshiped the statues.
Then he kowtowed a few more times.
Regardless of whether he performed the right ceremony or not, at least he was sincere.
After Chen Mo did all this, he walked directly towards the statue in the middle.
In his mouth, he muttered, Laozi, the Three Pure Ones, please bless me and help me expand a gold talent.
Then he put his hand on the statue.
[Ding! The gold talent pool has been expanded!]
When Chen Mo heard the prompt sound in his mind, he was instantly overjoyed. He hurriedly bowed to the statue in the middle again, and then went to touch the statue next to him.
I don't mind too many talents
Since I'm already here
Then I have to take the opportunity.
But when he was about to put his hand on it.
A clear shout made Chen Mo's hand stop abruptly in the air.
When he turned around, he saw a woman in a wide robe, a hood on her head, and a whisk in her hand.
Chen Mo's eyes flickered. Although he didn't know who this woman was, but to be able to appear in the Taoist temple, her identity was definitely more noble than his, so he immediately greeted and said.
"Immortal, I was admiring the Nine Heavens Deity God and couldn't help myself to touch its sacred body."
Chen Mo just learned from Little Mirror that Taoists in this world were referred to as immortals by others.
"Immortal?"
Lin Suya walked over slowly, took a long glance at Chen Mo, and said, "You don't recognize me?"
"Who are you, immortal?" Chen Mo raised his head and glanced at Lin Suya. Just before, due to the distance, he couldn't make out anything, but up close, an extraordinary aura surrounded her.
Although her expression seemed to lack emotion, after a closer look, it made people feel immersed.
Chen Mo hurriedly lowered his head.
Lin Suya flicked her horsetail whisk. "I'm the disciple of the Imperial Teacher, and I'm responsible for guarding this temple."
"Oh, so you're a fairy." Chen Mo tried to flatter.
But when Lin Suya heard this, she frowned and said, "The sacred body of the Deities are not allowed to be touched by others. Besides, the one in the middle is the Nine Heavenly Thunder Deity."
"...Fairy, thank you for reminding me."
After Chen Mo bowed to the statue again, he hurriedly backed away.
But at this moment, Lin Suya stopped him. "What's your name?"
"Chen Hong," Chen Mo was stunned for a second before he turned around and responded.
"Chen Hong? As in flood?"
"Right."
"You can leave now."
"Roger."
Chen Mo left quickly.
After Lin Suya watched Chen Mo as he left, she raised her hand and there was actually a strand of hair in her palm.
She held the hair and pinched her fingers.
After a while, her brows wrinkled. "It's strange, I calculated that his lifespan has come to an end, why is he still alive? Why does he possess such a heavy evil spirit?"
Lin Suya was puzzled.
...
After Chen Mo went to the hall, he deliberately found a corner that no one noticed.
He began to simulate.
[Current selectable talents: Supreme Nine Heavens Jade Thunder Manual, Ghost Hunting, Eye of Insight...]
[Please choose three of the above talents and start immortal cultivation simulation.[
[Supreme Nine Heavens Jade Thunder Manual (Gold): Also known as Thunder Manual, thunder is the core of yin and yang, and commands the root of all things.

[Ghost Hunting (Purple): Capable of capturing ghosts.]
[Eye of Insight (Orange): Insight into everything, analyze everything, and identify the opponent's weakness in combat.]
Chen Mo's eyes widened.
Supreme Nine Heavens Jade Thunder Manual.
Does the name have to be this long?
And so hard to read.
If it was an ordinary person, who would remember this?
[Day 1: The Great Turmoil was about to arrive, and the horns of uprisings were blown across the Great Song Dynasty... You died.]
[This immortal cultivation simulation is over: you can permanently retain a talent and apply it into the real world.]
[The Immortal Cultivation Simulation is over. The simulation time is one day. System cooldown time: 10 minutes.]
