Gu Ning’an smiled. “Even if I said I wasn’t tempted, you wouldn’t believe me, so why ask further?” Hearing this, the Bat God lowered his head and remained silent for a long time before speaking: “May I let my disciple carry this out?” “Him? Is there any need?” Gu Ning’an replied calmly.

Gu Ning’an and Daoist Qingyuan each found a cushion to sit on and began discussing Daoism. It seemed as though they had completely forgotten that the purpose of their journey was to find the Bat God. After a conversation, Gu Ning’an learned a lot about Daoism in this world. In this realm, Daoism shared similarities with the one from his past life, but there were also distinct differences. For example, the Three Pure Ones, revered in the Daoism of his previous life, did not exist in this world.…

Though he didn’t know the full extent of Gu Ning’an’s abilities, this man in the green robe had exuded an air of transcendence and otherworldly grace from the very beginning. How could someone with such a bearing stand by and watch as a wild deity caused trouble, even letting it escape? Gu Ning’an waved his hand dismissively. “No rush. The mud statue here isn’t the Bat God’s true form. Letting it…

He was dressed in a black hemp robe, with a large dark-red stain on its hem. From his waist, he pulled out a bundle of thick red incense, each stick as wide as an arm. The incense had an unusual sheen and was a brighter red compared to ordinary incense. Clutching the bundle in both hands, the man bent down and lit the incense using the oil lamp placed beneath the…

It’s not uncommon for spirits and creatures of the wild to establish temples and receive offerings of incense from humans. In Gu Ning’an’s view, as long as such wild deities genuinely perform good deeds for people, it’s only fair for them to be worshipped and offered incense.

This isn’t merely because wild deities compete for incense offerings, but also because they often…

At that moment, Tang Zi, Wang Sheng, and Sun De all stood up, approached him, and said in unison, "Teacher, you sit down—we’re going to teach you today!" Hearing this, Li Fangchang smiled. "Oh?
