Searching for the best path, starting from Renjia Town

Chapter 133 Opportunity to Promote

According to Uncle Jiu, the so-called Yin and Yang boundary is actually a crack in the underworld.

When the world was created, a wisp of yang energy was mixed into the underworld. The yang energy and the yin energy were clearly separated, but they could not be discharged. Over time, this gap was created.

Extreme yang gives birth to extreme yin. The interior of this gap is extremely yin, but the yang energy wrapped in it, like a fetal membrane, is extremely hot, so ghosts from the underworld cannot invade. This gap is in the underworld, and living beings in the world of the living cannot enter.

So for billions of years, this gap has been empty.

"How could Yang energy be mixed into the underworld, and even form cracks?"

"Some people are born with six fingers, some with crooked noses and mouths. These are all due to poor development in the womb. The universe also gave birth to us, so isn't it normal to have some imperfections?"

"so."

The three nodded, still looking confused.

"Master, you just said that ghosts can't get in because of this layer of yang energy membrane. If that's the case, how can the ghost that slipped away from us hide in there?"

“Originally, it was impossible to get in, but now the situation has changed.”

Uncle Jiu explained with a serious expression.

"There was a demon whose origins were unknown. He transformed himself into a half-human, half-ghost and found this gap. As a half-human, half-ghost, he was not afraid of Yin and Yang, and therefore could open the Yin and Yang boundary."

"Could it be that all the ghosts we encountered are related to that devil?"

"Yes."

Uncle Jiu nodded and continued.

"He occupies the Yin-Yang Realm, hence calling himself the Yin-Yang Dharma King, and recruits evil spirits everywhere. In recent years, his ambition has grown even greater, even forcibly abducting some wandering ghosts to expand his power. I suspect that the Fusang Ghost King who abducted Dabao and Xiaobao before is very likely a subordinate of the Yin-Yang Dharma King."

"hateful!"

After listening to what Uncle Jiu said, the three of them looked annoyed.

Because of the existence of the Yin and Yang world, these evil spirits have an extra hiding place, which has caused them a lot of trouble.

That’s not all, they even dared to kidnap their people. This is truly intolerable.

"Master! Is there no way to destroy them?!"

"Don't overdo anything. The Yin-Yang Dharma King has been gathering ghosts everywhere, disrupting the order of reincarnation. This has already attracted the attention of the underworld. In fact, the underworld is currently communicating with Zhengyi to jointly eradicate the Yin-Yang Dharma King and completely seal off the Yin-Yang world!"

"Great! When do we start?"

"What's the rush? Besides, can you help me?"

Uncle Jiu glared at the three of them, snorted, and continued.

"The Yin-Yang Dharma King is highly skilled, and this involves the Yin-Yang realm. This matter is not as easy as you think. We only have this plan now, and it will take a lot of time to prepare."

"I see. That's a pity."

"But."

"But what?"

"This is an opportunity for you."

Uncle Jiu suddenly smiled and spoke directly without keeping anyone in suspense.

"The Yin-Yang Realm is independent of the Yin-Yang Realm, so it requires the cooperation of the Underworld and Zhengyi. In order to strengthen Zhengyi's strength, some disciples who have sufficient Taoism and excellent character, but are still lacking some Taoism skills, can be promoted in advance during the Zhongyuan Festival next year."

"Early promotion?"

Qiu Sheng and Wencai's eyes widened instantly, their faces filled with excitement.

"Then I can get a promotion!"

"Then I can also confer the ordination certificate."

"you?"

Uncle Jiu rolled his eyes at the two of them, looking speechless.

He was too lazy to say more about this person who had no self-awareness, and then turned to Li Kunshan.

"Kunshan, there's less than a year left. You need to prepare well."

"Yes, disciple knows."

Li Kunshan responded, but his expression did not change much.

With his ability, he should be promoted.

But even if he is promoted, the magic power added by the priesthood is only equivalent to the eighth or ninth level of Qi training.

He has already reached the twenty-first level of Qi training, so by then it will just be icing on the cake.

Of course, if the promotion is successful, he can separate the excess energy and refine another Blood God Son.

Moreover, the heavenly soldiers and generals that can be dispatched at that time will be of higher level and strength.

Promotion is always a good thing.

"Yes, Master."

Speaking of improving strength, Li Kunshan thought of it and couldn't help but ask.

"Do you know how to refine magical instruments, or do you have any relevant books?"

"Refine the weapon? Why are you asking this?"

"A passing interest."

"interested?"

Looking Li Kunshan up and down, Uncle Jiu frowned.

"Refining equipment isn't that simple. Not only does it burn money, but it also requires a huge investment of time and energy. You weren't interested earlier, and you weren't interested later, but now, with your promotion imminent, you're interested."

But then again, with Li Kunshan's ability, promotion next year will basically not be a problem.

Furthermore, unlike Qiu Sheng, Wencai and others, Li Kunshan has always had his own ideas.

As a master, Uncle Jiu actually has never been a big deal. He just needs to fully support Li Kunshan.

"never mind."

Thinking of this, Uncle Jiu sighed and said directly.

"I don't know how to refine weapons, and I don't have any books on the subject. However, Zhe Gu was quite interested in refining weapons when she was in Maoshan, so she should have some."

"Great."

If it were someone else, even if Li Kunshan was sincere in learning, they might not be willing to teach him.

But Zhe Gu, as Uncle Jiu's loyal pursuer, would immediately teach him everything she knew as long as Li Kunshan asked.

Li Kunshan was secretly delighted and wanted to meet Zhe Gu as soon as possible.

As long as he learns how to refine weapons, Blood God Son can help him refine magical weapons during his training.

In any world, props are an important part of strength!
"Oh, I forgot if you hadn't mentioned it."

Li Kunshan was thinking about it when Uncle Jiu suddenly slapped his forehead, then got up and went to the inner room.

He came out after a while, holding a long wooden box in his hand.

Li Kunshan blinked his eyes. This wooden box looked familiar.

Uncle Jiu opened it directly and saw a brass magic sword inside.

"This isn't... this isn't the one..."

"It's nothing! Isn't this the magic sword of our master?"

Qiu Sheng patted Wencai on the forehead, feeling a little puzzled.

"Didn't I give this magic sword to Shi Shaojian? Why is it with you, Master? Could it be!"

"What?! Of course it was given to me by your master. How could I have stolen it?"

Uncle Jiu glared at Qiu Sheng unhappily, then handed it directly to Li Kunshan and spoke.

"Shi Shaojian fell into the devil's way. After his death, this magic sword was naturally taken back. It was returned when Shi Jian was escorted back to Maoshan. Your master gave it to me right away and asked me to pass it on to you."

"Give me?"

"Yes."

Uncle Jiu nodded with a serious expression.

"This is the magic sword used by your great-grandmaster in his youth. I am giving it to you now. You should understand its profound meaning."

"Yes."

Li Kunshan nodded vigorously and took it with both hands.

He took it out of the box, held it in his hand and examined it, then suddenly raised his head and looked at Uncle Jiu.

"You just said that when we were escorting Shi Jian, our master gave it to you and asked you to bring it to me?"

"correct."

"I...this isn't right! It's been two years!"

"I'm sorry, I forgot then, but it's not too late now."

"Hmph, I think you did it on purpose."

Li Kunshan snorted and rolled his eyes. Uncle Jiu had deliberately tempered his character by sending him on a journey, even forbidding him from using Zhengyi techniques or Tai Chi. How could he possibly have given him a magical weapon?

Li Kunshan didn't think about it anymore.

Although it was two years late, it finally came into his hands.

As the magic sword used by Master Xuanyi when he was young, it is extremely powerful. During the ordination competition at Longhu Mountain, Shi Shaojian defeated many people with just this magic sword.

With Li Kunshan's skills and abilities, he will definitely be able to exert greater power.

However, as a Taoist magic weapon, it is not what the alien world calls a "magic weapon". In addition to knowing the usage formula, it also needs to be nurtured by oneself before it can be used.

Next, Li Kunshan stayed in the charity cemetery for a few days.

Over the past two years, I consulted Uncle Jiu on some issues concerning cultivation, treated Qiu Sheng and Wen Cai to a play and two meals, and met Ren Tingting at night. He was really busy.

In addition, the four masters and apprentices interrogated the female ghosts captured by Tan Baiwan's family and confirmed that they were indeed the subordinates of the Yin-Yang Dharma King and were hiding in the Yin-Yang world.

But the female ghost didn't know how to enter the Yin and Yang world.

Because every time they go in and out, they have to rely on the magic power of the Yin-Yang King.

It makes sense. Outside the Yin and Yang realm is a layer of hot yang energy membrane. Without the help of the Yin and Yang Dharma King, how could these little ghosts possibly get through it?

"Master, take care."

Early that morning, Li Kunshan bid farewell to Uncle Jiu and the others and returned to Hehuan Town.

It was a journey of three hundred miles, and Li Kunshan walked faster, arriving by dark.

Squeak~!

I pushed open the gate to the courtyard, which hadn't been occupied for two years and was already overgrown with weeds. I looked around the rooms and saw a thick layer of dust on the furniture.

"Take your time to clean up."

Li Kunshan sighed helplessly and prepared to fetch water and clean the place.

"Sir, please leave this little work to me."

With a soft cry, Xiaoli came out of the purse.

Two years ago during the Ghost Festival, Qiu Shengwencai defeated the ghost messenger and Xiaoli took the opportunity to escape.

Afterwards, the Yin-Yang Dharma King captured wandering ghosts everywhere. She had nowhere to hide, so she came to the charity cemetery to ask for shelter.

Uncle Jiu was not there at the time, so we had to rely entirely on Li Kunshan.

After that, Li Kunshan was ordered to travel outside, and Xiaoli followed him.

After all, she was a ghost, and they were alone together, which caused many inconveniences, so most of the time, Li Kunshan kept her in his pocket.

"Sir, please take a rest first."

He raised his hand and swept away the dust on the stone table and stone bench in the yard.

Then he went to the house to get the tea set, cleaned it, used magic to get fresh tea leaves from somewhere else, boiled water, and brewed a pot of fragrant tea in a short while.

"Master, please have some tea."

He poured a cup of tea for Li Kunshan and then produced a plate of snacks.

Li Kunshan took a glance but did not move.

“But it’s all paid for.”

"Master always taught me not to use magic to do bad things, and I always remember this. When I took these things, I put down the money, and I promised that it was more than enough."

"That's good."

Li Kunshan nodded and began to enjoy the tea.

After serving Li Kunshan, Xiaoli went to clean the house.

They say they are cleaning, but in fact they are using magic.

First, he waved his sleeves and cleared all the weeds in the yard. Then he raised his hands again and the house was instantly clean.

Watching Xiaoli cast a spell, Li Kunshan couldn't help but secretly sigh that magic is indeed much more convenient.

As for raising ghosts, although it is somewhat inappropriate, Zhengyi has not explicitly prohibited raising ghosts, so it is not a big mistake.

After all, there are many people in the Zhengyi sect who raise corpses.

"Sir, I have packed everything."

A moment later, the yard was clean from inside to outside, and Xiaoli was holding another basin of hot water with a smile on her face.

"If you are tired from traveling, I will help you soak your feet."

"I can just do it myself."

Li Kunshan stopped Xiaoli who was about to wash his feet and continued to give her instructions.

"Stop calling yourself a slave. Although I allow you to stay with me temporarily, you and I are not master and servant."

"I understand, sir."

"……never mind."

Li Kunshan shook his head helplessly. He had told Xiaoli many times, but she never changed.

"Also, I still want to advise you to go to the underworld and reincarnate as soon as possible, and don't be greedy for the world of the living anymore."

"Humph, no."

Hearing this, Xiaoli snorted and went back into her purse in anger.

Li Kunshan curled his lips and said no more.

After washing his feet and changing into clean and comfortable clothes, Li Kunshan sat cross-legged on the bed, refining his qi and transforming his spirit.

In addition to Li Kunshan's body, the Blood God Son in his body was also constantly refining Qi and transforming into a spirit.

It has been almost a year since I broke through the third level of Spirit Training. At the current speed, I estimate that in a few months, I may be able to break through to the fourth level.

Silent all night.

The next morning, Li Kunshan picked up his vegetable basket and went out.

"Master Li is back!"

"Oh, Master Li, I thought you moved away!"

"Master Li, I'll send you two of these newly caught fish later!"

Walking on the street, vendors and residents on both sides were surprised to see Li Kunshan and greeted him enthusiastically.

Li Kunshan responded one by one with a smile on his face.

Compared to Renjia Town, this place is his home. Walking on the street at this time, he feels particularly warm.

Next, Li Kunshan stayed in Hehuan Town for two days.

"Thank you for your hard work these past few days."

In the yard, two Li Kunshan stood facing each other.

"Fellow Taoist, don't worry."

The Blood God Son, who had transformed into the same person as Li Kunshan, bowed and spoke lightly.

"I will definitely follow what you said and play your role well."

"it is good."

Li Kunshan nodded and couldn't help but smile.

Uncle Jiu had said before that Zhe Gu had some method of refining weapons, so Li Kunshan decided to go there since he had nothing to do recently.

Speaking of which, it’s been a long time since I last saw Zhe Gu and Nian Ying. Now that I’m back, I should go and see them.

After he left, he asked Xue Shenzi to "take over" in Hehuan Town for a few days.

The Blood God Son has always been in his body. Although he can practice, he is restricted by the environment and can only practice spiritual cultivation. He cannot use thunder spells, talismans, etc.

The Bloodletting God Son came out to facilitate the practice of other methods.

As for whether it is safe for Blood God Son to stay here alone after Li Kunshan leaves, there is actually no need to worry at all.

As the son of the Blood God, he knows everything that Li Kunshan knows, but his soul is weaker.

Another thing is, don't forget that there is also a Zhuge Kongping in Hehuan Town. With this master of the Zhuge family around, there won't be any major chaos.

"I am leaving."

Taking advantage of the late night when all the townspeople were asleep, Li Kunshan quietly left.

"I won't send you far."

The Blood God Son bowed again, but in order not to be seen, he did not go outside to see him off.

Then, he began to practice the Thunder Technique in the yard.

Without wasting even a second, Li Kunshan smiled again, and then the Blood God Son went offline in Hehuan Town to upgrade.

"Set off."

After leaving Hehuan Town, he breathed a sigh of relief and walked straight towards Zhegu's town.
