  As expected, at this moment, Bai Yu suddenly let out a light drink, and his hand that was forming a seal also pushed forward abruptly. In an instant, the small flame transformed into a fire snake, which instantly extended to several meters in length, shooting towards the pond under the pavilion with lightning speed.

  With a scorching breath, the fire snake plunged into the pond, and instantly, large amounts of steam rose up where water and fire met. The steam spread rapidly, and in just a few breaths, the entire backyard was filled with steam, as if a thick fog had suddenly appeared, shrouding everything. With the support of the many Taoist priests, it seemed as though they were transported to an immortal realm, and for a moment, everything felt like a dream or an illusion.

  These Taoists were stunned by the scene before them, and their carefree mood had turned to shock. Any experienced Taoist could understand that the ability to control fire was not something ordinary people could master. Fire belonged to one of the five elements, a single type of magic, although powerful, but extremely difficult to practice. Perhaps in ancient times, there were still people who could master this technique, but in this era, it was absolutely impossible.

  This is not only because of the deficiency of the classics, but also due to personal qualifications. This fire is a fierce and violent practice. If one does not have strong control over their magical powers, the final result will most likely be self-immolation, destruction of both body and spirit. Therefore, even if some sects still have this type of magic, there are hardly anyone who dares to cultivate it.

  The leaders of the various sects now had a sudden surge of excitement in their eyes, looking at Bai Yu as if they were looking at a rare treasure. Bai Yu even saw the intention of not wanting to let go from them. His heart suddenly trembled and he laughed dryly, saying to these Taoists: "Fellow Taoist masters, this is the magic I have been practicing. Please evaluate it."

  "Haha, okay." But the next moment, those dignified and respected leaders suddenly burst out laughing in unison, which startled Bai Yu.

  At this time, Zhang Longhong smiled and said: "Fellow Taoist is indeed a rare talent that has not been seen for hundreds of years. The Five Elements technique in this era has long been abandoned by everyone, because the power of the Five Elements is too difficult to grasp. All major sects have already listed this type of magic as forbidden, even we old Taoists dare not touch it. I didn't expect that you, a person who doesn't understand the principles, would actually master it. I can only say that our Taoist sect has great prospects."

  Qing Yu also took a step forward, smiling: "Not bad, with Daoist friend's current cultivation and achievements in techniques, what is lacking is only the Dao reason. I hope Daoist friend can come to my place to take scriptures soon. As long as you open your mouth, all the scriptures and classics I teach are available for borrowing, but don't mess them up." He even made a small joke at the end.

  Bai Yu smiled and said, "The real person is right, I am indeed not reasonable now, and I will naturally thank the real person. Borrowing the classics of your sect will also be taken care of, thinking that those classics are at least several times older than me, they are all cultural relics and antiques, how dare I damage them?"

  Upon hearing his words, the group of Taoists all burst out in hearty laughter. After everyone's laughter subsided, Chang Hong Daoist said: "Alright, today we've had a chance to witness fellow daoist's five elements technique, which is also our great fortune. Now let's head back, otherwise this steam before us will soon soak through our clothes."

  However, this piece of steam was indeed big enough. The crowd in the front yard also saw it clearly and couldn't help but feel amazed. But they didn't know what it was, so they could only gaze in that direction from afar.

  However, after a short while, the crowd returned from the backyard. The people in the front yard saw that their clothes were slightly damp and felt surprised, but they didn't understand what was going on. They then started whispering to each other again.

  It's already not early now, the sun has set. Bai Yu didn't even have lunch, but fortunately his cultivation was extraordinary, although he couldn't achieve Bigu, he wouldn't starve for a day or two without eating.

  At this time, Qing Yu True Person looked at the sky and smiled: "It's not early now, let's have dinner first, otherwise we'll be hungry later. It seems that talking about Tao is also powerless."

  Actually, most of the Taoist priests hadn't eaten lunch and were feeling quite hungry when it was mentioned that they should have dinner. They all felt a bit embarrassed by the rumbling sounds coming from their stomachs and hastily nodded in agreement.

  At this time, Zhang Hongzheng called a young Taoist priest and whispered to him for a while before letting him go. It seemed that he was ordered to prepare meals.

  Actually, the Taoist priests' meals are not easy to prepare. These Taoist priests belong to different sects and their dietary taboos are also different. For example, the Quanzhen Taoist priests are vegetarians just like those Buddhist monks, while the Zhengyi Taoists can eat meat and even get married. However, although they eat meat, they avoid eating certain types of meat, such as dog meat, beef, etc.

  Taoists do not eat dog meat or beef mainly because of the rules set by the ancestors of Taoism. They admire the merits of cows and the loyalty of dogs, so they do not eat them.

  So this meal is really hard to handle. If it's done by Zhengyi Taoist priests or other sects, they may have opinions. If it's done by Quanzhen Taoist priests who are vegetarians, they can't eat it either.

  In just a short while, the dishes were already served, but there were two portions of food, one was vegetarian and the other was meat-based. Although this might be a bit more trouble, it was indeed the best solution.

  These young disciples of Bai Yu, regardless of their cultivation level, should all be eating outside. Although the sun has already set, the summer temperature hasn't dropped much, so eating in this weather is like stepping into a steamer - you're sure to be drenched in sweat. However, due to Bai Yu's special circumstances, he wasn't in the courtyard but was instead with the respected old Daoist priests from various sects.

  However, facing a group of old men, Bai Yu didn't have much to say. These old Taoist priests would often talk about this and that during meals, making Bai Yu's head spin. He couldn't help but take advantage of a gap in the conversation to finish eating quickly and bid farewell.

  Bai Yu came out of the door and looked around in all directions. In the end, he still returned to his original position and prepared to sit down.

  At this time, Ma Hui was already sweating profusely. He said to Li Yinzhu with some envy: "Brother Li, to be honest, I still envy you people from Zhengyi Sect. You don't have to eat vegetarian food every day and can also get married and have children. Our Quanzhen Sect is even more ascetic than Buddhist monks."

  Ma Hui is from the Huashan school, which also belongs to the Quanzhen school. The Quanzhen and Zhengyi schools are now the leaders of Taoist schools in the world. Most large and small Taoist temples have already joined these two schools. However, Ma Hui said that he envies Li Xun's affiliation with the Zhengyi school is actually self-deprecation. Huashan is also a sacred place of Quanzhen Taoism now, although it is not the mainstream of Quanzhen, but it is similar.

  At this time, Liu Jin's sharp eyes saw Bai Yu's arrival and immediately stopped his actions.

  The other two were unclear, and they also stopped their movements as soon as they looked in that direction. They hurriedly put down their bowls and chopsticks, stood up, and came to greet them. Ma Hui laughed and said: "Dao... Daozhang please sit down, please sit down quickly." Then he pulled Bai Yu to the seat, glanced around and smiled softly at Bai Yu: "Daozhang, I'm saying you were deceiving us just now, right? I heard these people discussing earlier that you are a person of Suotu, but you deceived us by saying you are from Maoshan. Tell me, do you have high achievements in the study of Feng Shui? Otherwise, why would so many Daozhang be so polite to you?"

  The other two also looked at Bai Yu with a face full of desire for knowledge, expecting Bai Yu's answer.

  These Taoist priests have undergone rigorous scrutiny during their ascetic practices, and they are all men of good character. They wouldn't be narrow-minded and jealous like some people, even if there were any, it would be rare. White Feather hasn't been so unlucky to meet such people either, most of them have a relatively good temperament.

  Looking at their expectant eyes, Bai Yu smiled and shook his head, saying: "No, I didn't deceive you, what I learned indeed belongs to the Mao Shan Sect."

  "Huh?" However, the three of them didn't quite believe it. Liu Jin shook his head and said: "Impossible, doesn't make sense. Looking at your age, you're not much different from me, how could you have already reached that level? I've never seen a Daoist priest be so polite to a young Daoist before... unless..." He didn't continue, but in his heart, he had already said it: "Unless he's the next successor of Mount Mao, cultivated by Priest Mao himself?" There was still some disbelief in his eyes, but eventually, he thought this explanation made more sense and settled on this idea.

  Bai Yu was unclear about these, but he found that he had only said half of what he wanted to say and didn't continue, which was a bit strange. However, he didn't ask further and instead said: "I really belong to the Mao Shan sect, and as for Feng Shui and Yi studies, I'm really clueless."

  The three of them exchanged a glance, but their thoughts were on the same wavelength. They all understood each other's intentions and looked at Bai Yu with changed eyes.

  The next moment they nodded at the same time, but their eyes were straight and staring at Bai Yu, as if they wanted to see flowers on her body.

  Looking at their eyes, Bai Yu felt a little inexplicable, shook his head, and didn't care whether they believed him or not. He picked up the teacup on the stone table and started pouring tea for himself. The other three people just sat in front of him, staring blankly as if they were stunned.

  After all, in their minds, Bai Yu was already the destined leader of Mao Shan. However, such a young leader was unprecedented, and they wanted to see what made him different.

  As for Bai Yu's cultivation reaching excellence, they hadn't thought of that. For someone as young as Bai Yu to become the sect leader was still a shadowy matter. Bai Yu's cultivation had reached the height of Chang Hong True Person and even surpassed it, in their opinion this was completely absurd and not as reliable as the previous matter.
