Wei Xishi stayed in the Qingcheng Taoist Temple for a month.
A month later, the old temple's leader took his last breath.
With a month of guidance from the leader, who he called master, he had grasped the basics of metaphysics.
Just when he was beginning to deepen his understanding, his mentor passed away.
From then on, the old and dilapidated Qingcheng Taoist Temple was left only to Wei Xishi.
The temple remained standing, never totally falling into decay under his care.
Wei Xishi became the thirty-sixth generation successor of the Qingcheng Taoist Temple and its only member.
His true understanding of metaphysical techniques was acquired during his one month of guidance from his master. Although he didn't master all the nuances, his natural aptitude helped him at least grasp the basics.
Later, his family found him, and Wei Xishi left the Qingcheng Taoist Temple.
In the following years, he never forgot to devote himself to the further study of metaphysics.
