"What a remarkable poem to seek the mystery of dreams, the world’s foremost enigma!"
"That disciple of the Zhanmo Lineage is indeed remarkable! The intent in this poem is truly exquisite!"
The Purple-clothed Daoist’s gaze changed, and after a moment, he gently took down the scroll and returned it to the hut in a few steps.
Changchi Daoist watched this scene with slight regret.
Such a Daoist poem can be considered a treasure for cultivating the Dao Heart.
It surpasses countless years of carving and polishing.
Especially for cultivators whose Dao Heart has flaws.

Champion Scholar’s Mansion
After Zhang Jian returned, he temporarily focused his attention on the "Five Dragons Scripture."
With his extraordinary comprehension, the understanding came smoothly.
This technique has two cultivation methods: one is to gather the Five Elements’ qi between heaven and earth to establish a foundation, and the other is to directly visualize the Five Dragon Dao Map, transforming the false into reality, which can also be turned into the Five Dragon Talisman, forming the basis of magic.
The former is more friendly to cultivators with weaker comprehension.
While the latter is prepared for those with outstanding and brilliant talent.
Zhang Jian directly visualized five colored true dragons born from the Void Dharma Realm, thus condensing the Five Dragon Talisman.
The Five Dragon Talisman descended into his sea of consciousness, and what Zhang Jian needed to do next was to gather the Five Dragon Spirits, which would ultimately form the Five Dragon Dharma Aspect.
Once the Five Dragon Dharma Aspect is born, he can comprehend the True Intent of the Five Elements.
For Zhang Jian, this is merely a matter of time.
And just as Zhang Jian expected, half a month later, the State Preceptor Jingming Daoist came to the Champion Scholar’s Mansion with generous gifts, seeking an audience with Zhang Jian.
At this moment, Jingming Daoist did not sit in the primary seat but rather took a secondary position, a serious look in his eyes.
"Mr. Zhang, before Chao Zhenren left the capital, he instructed me that Mr. Zhang is endowed with great techniques, especially the transcendental methods. If there are troubles, we may request Mr. Zhang’s aid!"
"Now that the War Souls in Jinzhou have escaped, only Mr. Zhang might be able to bring them back!"
"We acknowledge that this request is exceedingly presumptuous, but we fear only Mr. Zhang can help resolve this. If Mr. Zhang lacks anything, our Dong Shen Temple will fully support it!"
The words of Jingming Daoist were extremely tactful, but the implication was that no expense would be spared, and any conditions proposed by Mr. Zhang would be accepted by Dong Shen Temple.
Hearing this, Zhang Jian nodded inwardly.
His Dao practice was nearing completion, so he did not need many resources, at least not at the moment, but Zhang Yi, Zhang Zhao, and even other disciples of the Zhang Family would need resources for cultivation.
Though he inwardly agreed to involve himself, Zhang Jian still needed to inquire about the particulars.
He thought for a moment before speaking.
"State Preceptor, with the Dao practice of the fellow Daoists in Dong Shen Temple, handling the War Souls in those battlefields should not be difficult unless some change has occurred?"
Jingming Daoist nodded, and after taking a deep breath, spoke.
"If it were only War Souls, they could be managed with the ancient battlefield’s existing forbidden sealing methods, but we have detected that the forbidden techniques have weakened. It seems a cultivator has specifically targeted Dong Shen Temple; someone aims to use a distraction strategy against us and take us all down in one sweep!"
Upon hearing this, Zhang Jian frowned.
It seems Dong Shen Temple is in significant trouble this time.
Only to hear Dong Shen Daoist continue: "Of course, Scholar Zhang need not worry about the traps on the periphery; those can be entirely entrusted to our Dong Shen Temple, but we cannot let the War Souls within the battlefield escape, so we need Scholar Zhang to suppress and transcend them!"
Zhang Jian nodded.
Assisting the common folk and eliminating disasters, he was naturally willing to take action!
Furthermore, while he hoped to eventually control the court and rise to power, the timing was not now.
Currently, the Zhang Family’s influence is not yet fully developed, so he naturally doesn’t wish for Dong Shen Temple to fall at this time.
