“Of course.” Li Yan nodded.0

The Baopu Mountain-Climbing Technique was the very first mystic art he had ever learned.0

Once a practitioner of the mystic path awakened a divine ability and successfully established their inner temple, even if they could not set up a ritual altar, they could still crudely activate certain magical artifacts or cast some spells. Li Yan had depended on activating his Three Talents Demon Suppressing Coins and Thundercloud Divine Drum when he needed them.0

The Baopu Mountain-Climbing Technique had been taught to him by Luo Mingzi of the Enforcement Hall when they dealt with Chen Fakui. Depending on the variation of the Six Invocations used, it could either repel evil entities or intimidate wild beasts. It was an extremely practical technique.0

According to Chen Fakui, the technique had been left behind by Immortal Elder Ge and passed down throughout the mystic path for disciples entering the mountains to avoid calamities. As such, it was not considered particularly rare and could be taught openly.0

However, after asking Wang Daoxuan about it, Li Yan learned that things were not so simple. It was true that the technique meant little to the Taixuan Orthodox Sect, but it was still a genuine mystical art. Many lineages and sects only passed it on after rigorous evaluation. Even Wang Daoxuan himself had yet to learn the complete version.0

Thus, Li Yan held Luo Mingzi in particularly high regard. The only troublesome aspect of the technique was that it required a spiritual artifact to assist its activation. Even if two people knew the same Baopu Mountain-Climbing Technique, the results would differ greatly depending on their cultivation level and the quality of their treasures.0

The yarrow stalks Li Yan used, for example, were far inferior to the Profound Bamboo Envoy Talismans used by disciples of the Taixuan Orthodox Sect.0

Wang Daoxuan immediately...0
