After the Thousand Autumn Banquet.
Tongjing left the garden with a worried expression on his face.
Suddenly, a purple-robed Taoist appeared before him.
"It turns out to be Master Zishi..." Tongjing's expression remained unchanged, "Now that the royal family favors Divine Mystic Master, your Chongming Dao really can't sit still."
Daoist Zishi had a purple beard and an extraordinary appearance. He now performed a respectful bow and said, "Flowers bloom and wither, such is the natural order... If a true Taoist comes to replace our Chongming Dao, I will willingly step down and let the worthy take over, but that 'true person,' is truly hard to describe in just a few words..."
The two walked side by side when Tongjing suddenly asked, "Is it really impossible for you Taoists to perform magic in the Emperor's presence?"
"Of course it is; how could Councilor Shu Mi not know the advantage of Dragon Qi?"
