My Ability Pool is Superior

The dense wild grass underfoot submerged the small path. As the field of vision pulled back, towering giant trees branched lushly and leafily. Even hurrying along at high noon, one could not avoid feeling a bit of suffocating oppression.

Hearing that apprentice called Liu Sheng say, the wilderness was all like this. As long as no one passed through, even rugged rocky places would soon become overgrown with weeds.

It must all be due to the Four Great Immortal Families.

Worth mentioning is that, according to the usual process, after the Incense Master views the incense, the person involved must arrange a flowing banquet.

But after Lu Bai relayed Master Bai Fourteen’s words to Master Tao, this old Incense Master immediately decided to take Lu Bai and several apprentices back to the county town, without even resting much in the village.

Lu Bai had no opinion at first anyway; he had no attachment to that village.

However, while hurrying along, he learned from Master Tao about Master Bai Fourteen’s status in the jianghu, and vaguely felt that everything that happened last night was somewhat suspicious.

Two Hu Clan Immortals suddenly appearing to cause trouble was one thing, but the problem was, wouldn’t those two fox spirits know this was Master Bai Fourteen’s territory?

Moreover, seeing Master Tao communicate with spirits and summon Master Bai Fourteen, they still didn’t run away and even dared to fight back.

This was a bit too reckless with their lives. Unfortunately, the information he could understand was still too little. Lu Bai pondered for a while, couldn’t find a reasonable explanation, and simply assumed those two fox spirits were mad for now.

As the group delved deeper into the forest, they noticed the surroundings becoming increasingly silent, with bird calls and insect chirps gradually weakening.

Lu Bai inexplicably felt that the dark forest had gained some spying gazes.

Master Tao walked at the very front, said nothing more, and silently drew a stick of incense from his bundle to light it.

He bowed toward the four directions: “Folks with grievances, we may not meet above but we do below; let’s each give the other some face.”

As soon as these words were spoken, a rustling movement came from the surroundings.

Moments later, that spied-upon feeling indeed disappeared.

Master Tao glanced at Lu Bai, waved his hand signaling everyone to keep following him, and explained in a low voice: “Don’t think us Spirit Messengers are impressive in front of the villagers; it’s mainly relying on Master Bai Fourteen’s influence. Generally, don’t provoke Evil Spirits. If you run into them, you still have to talk etiquette with them first.”

Lu Bai nodded, then felt something off.

Why are you telling me this?

Master Tao had been a Spirit Messenger for so many years, his eyesight was still very good, and he spotted Lu Bai’s doubt at a glance.

He immediately smiled and said: “I think I know Master Bai Fourteen pretty well, but I’ve never seen him so eager to meet someone. It won’t be long before we definitely become colleagues.”

It was actually very easy to understand.

Since Master Bai Fourteen didn’t kill Lu Bai on the spot, had such a good attitude, and Lu Bai didn’t know Master Bai Fourteen before.

Then what seeing Lu Bai was for was very obvious.

“Doesn’t Master Bai Fourteen already have you as a Spirit Messenger?” Lu Bai stroked his chin.

“Just me alone won’t do.”

Master Tao said cheerfully.

In fact, most Immortals with high cultivation had more than one Spirit Messenger.

The several villages around here were indeed managed by Master Tao.

But Master Bai Fourteen’s territory went far beyond just these few villages.

His training ground was in the county town, overseeing dozens of large and small villages.

Therefore, the number of Spirit Messengers currently under Master Bai Fourteen was over twenty.

One more or one less had no influence on the other Spirit Messengers.

In the end, they originally had no ability to borrow all of Master Bai Fourteen’s magic power anyway; at most, there would be conflict when communicating with spirits.

But the problem was, most Spirit Messengers could view incense and would never top incense; times doing confused duty were rare.
