Searching for the best path, starting from Renjia Town

Chapter 94 Uncle Master, I Want to Improve So Much

Ah ~!

With a shrill scream, a fierce ghost turned into ashes under the peach wood sword of Taoist Qianhe.

"With your limited skills, you dare to come and find trouble with me. You don't know how to live or die."

Retracting his sword, Taoist Qianhe snorted coldly and then asked everyone.

"What happened?"

"I've got it, uncle!"

"We've solved it here too!"

Li Kunshan and others responded and then gathered together.

In addition to the evil spirit that Taoist Qianhe was dealing with, there were also some wild beasts that had just regained their intelligence, but they had all turned into corpses at this time.

Especially some of the big ones, their bodies were charred and still smoking, obviously they died a tragic death.

"This is the third time. Uncle Master, do you know what's going on?"

Li Kunshan asked after dusting off his clothes.

Less than ten days had passed since they had set out, and because the roads were mostly difficult to travel on, and the bronze coffin was heavy, the carriage moved slowly, so they had only traveled two or three hundred miles.

In just this short distance, the team has encountered three evil attacks.

"As the saying goes, birds of a feather flock together. We're transporting zombies, so naturally, we're likely to attract these things."

Taoist Qianhe put away his magic weapon, looked around, and frowned slightly again.

"But the zombies have been sealed in the copper coffin. The corpse gas leaks very little, so it shouldn't spread far. How can they smell it? Moreover, the frequency is too high."

"Yeah, it always feels weird."

Li Kunshan echoed with a slightly serious expression.

As Taoist Master Qianhe said, birds of a feather flock together. Low-level demons tend to congregate together. This is easy to understand: their level of cultivation is too low, making them easily eliminated. Their only means of survival are numbers.

Isn't it the same with people? The weaker they are, the more they like to stick together.

This is why it is easy to attract some dirty things during the process of driving corpses.

But some high-level evil spirits no longer need protection or warmth, and they are often more intelligent and have the ability to distinguish, and will not rush around like headless flies.

However, some of the evil spirits that attacked Li Kunshan and his men were of quite high levels, so it looked abnormal no matter how you looked at it.

"Maybe it's because this zombie is unusual. After all, it's royal, so it's normal for it to be a little different."

Taoist Qianhe gave a reluctant explanation and then smiled.

"Who cares? If one comes, I'll kill him. If two come, I'll kill a pair!"

"Master, you have such a strong murderous nature. I seem to see the shadow of Master Uncle."

"What I did is nothing. If you have seen the eldest brother take action, you will know what it means to have strict laws and regulations."

Taoist Qianhe smiled and continued.

"Actually, I have no choice. I've been down the mountain for so many years, and I'm still only a beginner. If I kill more evil spirits and accumulate more Taoist merit, I'll be able to be promoted soon."

"Then we should congratulate our uncle!"

"Haha, it's too early to congratulate you now, but given the current situation, I should be able to accumulate enough Dao Gong without having to wait until this trip is complete."

Taoist Qianhe pondered for a moment, then sighed again.

"But even so, we have to wait until next year. Your master was promoted last year, so I'm at least two years behind."

"Actually, Uncle Master, you're no worse than my Master. You just lack a little bit of luck..."

Roar~!

Before he could finish his sentence, a low growl suddenly sounded around him.

Turning around, I saw several white zombies jumping out from the depths of the dark forest and heading straight towards this side.

"Again!"

Taoist Qianhe's eyes were burning, and he immediately drew out his peach wood sword.

Boom~!

The next moment, there was a loud thunder and a bolt of lightning fell from the sky, directly turning a zombie into charcoal.

"..."

Taoist Qianhe was stunned and looked at Li Kunshan beside him.

"Why do I feel like you're trying to steal zombies from me?"

"There's no other way, Uncle Master. I really want to improve!"

Before Li Kunshan finished speaking, he rushed forward, with a flash of lightning, and threw a palm thunder at the zombie in front.

"You little brat! I'm already old, and you're only a little bit younger. There's still plenty of opportunities. Hey! Don't kill them all, leave one for me!"

Seeing that Li Kunshan had killed three zombies in a blink of an eye like a vicious dog guarding its food, Taoist Qianhe didn't have time to think about it. He just flicked his finger to consecrate the peach wood sword and rushed forward while shouting.

The remaining three disciples, East, South and West, stood by, looked at each other and spread their hands. It seemed that there was nothing left for them to do.

Among Taoist Master Qianhe's four disciples, only Lu Ming, code-named Bei, has been ordained. They have not yet received their initial ordination and do not need to accumulate Taoist skills. Since Li Kunshan and Taoist Master Qianhe are so active, it is a good opportunity for them to take a break.

"Speaking of which, Junior Brother Li really hates evil. Whether it's a ghost or a zombie, he will directly use thunder magic to blast them into pieces."

Seeing Li Kunshan, whose body was flashing with lightning and who kept throwing out lightning, the three of them whispered a few words.

"I never thought this young man, despite his young age, could be so impressive. His dazzling figure is truly captivating~!"

In the carriage not far away, Minister Wu covered the little prince's ears and looked at Li Kunshan who was killing zombies outside. A layer of pink mist couldn't help but appear in his eyes.

"It's indeed much faster..."

Glancing at his personal page, Li Kunshan smiled slightly.

Compared to normal practice, it is faster to gain experience through performance.

From the very beginning, he basically eliminated all evil spirits with thunder magic.

If he increases his speed based on this experience, by the end of this trip, although he won't be able to accumulate enough Daoist skills for the upgrade, his Thunder Art will definitely be upgraded by several levels.

Kill the White Zombie and gain the entry "Thick Skin and Flesh (White)"!

After taking another look at the system prompt, Li Kunshan was in a good mood again.

As long as he kills someone, no matter if he is at full health or he is the last hit, there will be attributes dropped.

Although they are all low-level ghosts and only drop white items, they are in large quantities. When I arrive in the capital, maybe I can combine them to get an orange item.

They were just a few of the lowest-level white zombies, and in just a moment, Li Kunshan and Taoist Qianhe fought over them and took care of them all.

"Okay, it's okay, everyone, take a rest."

After taking out the compass and turning it around, the needle stopped moving. Taoist Qianhe smiled and said something to everyone.

"It really scared me to death."

Minister Wu got off the carriage, holding a handkerchief and patting his chest with his big hand. Then he looked at Li Kunshan and suddenly showed some shyness.

"Thanks to Taoist Priest Li, we feel much more at ease with him here."

"Minister Wu, you're too polite. In fact, it's mainly up to Uncle Qianhe. I'm just helping out."

"Oh, Master Li, you are too modest. We have all witnessed your efforts. When we arrive in the capital, I will report it to the emperor and reward you handsomely."

"Thank you, Minister Wu. Uh, I'm tired. I'm going to rest first!"

"Rest now. Your tents haven't been set up yet. Why don't you sleep in my tent for a while?"

"Thank you, Minister Wu, for your kindness. No thanks!"

Li Kunshan's body was already covered with goose bumps. He said one sentence and left as if he was running away.

There's a saying in their circle: sometimes people are scarier than ghosts. Li Kunshan didn't know about the others, but the overly enthusiastic Minister Wu was truly terrifying.

“Puff! Haha!”

Seeing Li Kunshan fleeing in panic, Dong, Nan and Xi finally couldn't help but burst into laughter, holding their stomachs.

"Still laughing! If you don't go and rest quickly, how are you going to travel tomorrow?"

Taoist Qianhe scolded, glanced at Li Kunshan who was running away, coughed twice, and forced himself to suppress his smile.

"What are you laughing at, a bunch of stinky men."

Minister Wu snorted coldly, reluctant to even look at Li Kunshan, and twisted his waist to return to the carriage to take care of the little prince.

Li Kunshan sat down under a big tree and turned on the system again.

"Fusion!"

He had killed over ten ghosts in the past few days and had accumulated over a dozen white items. As the lowest-level item, for Li Kunshan, it only served one purpose: to serve as a consumable material for fusing higher-level items.

I was too lazy to match any compatibility, so I just melted them all at once.

【Fusion completed! 】

[Gain new entries: Ribs and Tendons (Blue) and Sincerity (Blue)! ]

"Um……"

Due to poor compatibility, only two blue entries were fused.

Among them, the ribs and tendons had been used before with good results, but were later incorporated by Li Kunshan.

Come to think of it, after all, several of the entries this time are about physical enhancement.

In comparison, this first time, "Sincerity is the key to success," is quite interesting.

[Sincerity is key: Focusing your attention can simplify certain steps.]

"In this case……"

After reading the detailed introduction, Li Kunshan couldn't help but ponder for a while.

Then he stretched out his fingers and tried to draw symbols in the air.

A puppet talisman was completed in one go, but unfortunately it was useless.

"Is your heart not sincere enough?"

Li Kunshan blinked and tried a few more times.

The so-called sincerity means that one’s attention is focused enough.

It may be difficult for ordinary people, but for Li Kunshan who has the purple entry [Inner Spirit], it is actually very easy to do.

But unfortunately, the subsequent attempts also ended in failure.

"It seems that it is not effective enough."

Li Kunshan curled his lips. After all, it was just a blue entry. If he could draw talismans out of thin air like the Tongtian Lu, it would be too exaggerated.

In that case, Li Kunshan thought about it, picked up a branch and started drawing on the ground.

I tried using tree branches instead of the red brush and the earth instead of the yellow paper, but unfortunately, it still didn't work.

"Hey, this is it!"

Although I failed to draw the talisman, the experience gained in talismans on my personal page suddenly increased a little!
Li Kunshan couldn't help but open his eyes wide and tried again immediately.

"I see."

After a moment, it became clear.

Sincerity is the key to success. Although the steps can be simplified, the ingredients cannot be omitted.

No matter what kind of talisman you want to draw, you need cinnabar, yellow paper and other things.

but!

In the process of drawing talismans, as long as you don't be too careless, you can improve your experience to a certain extent.

"sure!"

Li Kunshan looked excited. He didn't need to draw so many talismans. He just wanted to upgrade.

Using tree branches to draw talismans on the ground can also increase experience. Wouldn't it save a lot of cinnabar and yellow paper, which all cost money?

Of course, this is not important. What is important is that the operability is greatly improved.

When Li Kunshan wanted to practice spells, he had to clean his hands and burn incense beforehand, then find a quiet place and meticulously draw on yellow paper with a red brush.

In most cases, the conditions do not exist at all, so sometimes when Li Kunshan is temporarily free, such as outside, if he wants to practice talismans, he cannot do so.

As a result, the talisman's improvement speed is very slow.

A comparison will make it clear that the Huangting Waijing Sutra was learned later than the Puppet Talisman, and Li Kunshan did not take out special time to practice it.

It is because I can take it out and recite it anytime and anywhere, and these fragmented times have accumulated, and now I have reached the sixth level.

Now, with the effect of [Sincerity is the key to success], Li Kunshan can practice talismans almost at any time.

After all, there was no place to find a stick.

For example, during this corpse transportation, during his rest time, Li Kunshan could take a branch and practice spells.

In this way, the improvement of the talisman will naturally be greatly accelerated.

"Great."

After figuring this out, Li Kunshan felt happy again.

Then, he opened his personal page again and looked at the talisman column, which showed the four talismans he currently possessed.

“…That’s it.”

After some hesitation, he picked up a branch and drew a puppet talisman on the ground.

Puppet talisman, soul-calming talisman, corpse-suppressing talisman, corpse-controlling talisman.

Currently, the puppet talisman has the highest level and can break through the sixth level the fastest.

Moreover, although the puppet talisman cannot directly seal the corpse ghost, it has various flexible uses.

In comparison, the improvement of the puppet talisman can further enhance Li Kunshan's strength.

It would take at least several months to travel from Yunnan to Beijing.

Even if I just practice during my rest time, I should be able to reach the sixth or seventh level.

After making the decision, Li Kunshan did not waste any time and started practicing immediately.

Holding the branch in his hand, he drew and erased it again and again until one or two o'clock in the morning, and then he fell asleep leaning against the tree trunk.

"let's go!"

The next morning, after a simple meal, the team continued on their journey.

After walking for a few more days, we finally got out of the mountains. As we walked on the main road, our speed increased a lot.

In addition, as the population gradually increased, the number of evil spirits decreased.

For others, leisure and safety are naturally good things.

But for Li Kunshan and Taoist Qianhe, it was not so happy.

"You little brat! You're still young, just slowly accumulate your Dao power. Don't compete with me for it!"

That night, they actually encountered a hairy zombie. When it saw Li Kunshan, its eyes turned green and it pounced on him like a hungry wolf. Taoist Qianhe, who was a step late, shouted anxiously.

He raised his hand and threw out several thunder talismans in the air, directly blasting the zombies away.

"Boy! You thought you were the only one who could use thunder?"

"Uncle Master! Give the young man a chance!"

Li Kunshan widened his eyes and simply struck the zombie with a bolt of lightning.

Poor Mao Jiang, who was usually considered the overlord of the area, was treated as an experience bag by the uncle and nephew. As soon as they met, he was struck by lightning and burned to a crisp.

"Wow, it's all cooked."

Looking at the zombie lying on the ground and emitting black smoke, Dongnanxi and Xixi couldn't help but curl their lips.

"Although I didn't kill him, I did contribute after all. The Grandmaster will see it clearly."

Taoist Qianhe took a look and said lightly.

[Kill the hairy zombie and obtain the item "Steel Bones (Blue)"! ]

"not bad."

After taking a look at the system prompt, Li Kunshan nodded. No matter how much credit he had, it was up to him to finish off the enemy.

Although it is an entry that I have obtained before, but it is consumables, why bother with so much.

Thanks to the powerful presence of Li Kunshan and Taoist Qianhe, the team escaped danger without any danger.

After more than 20 days, we finally left Yunnan and entered Guangxi.

"One level short."

Li Kunshan used Thunder Technique to eliminate all kinds of evil spirits along the way. In addition to obtaining entries, his Thunder Technique experience was also constantly improving.

In addition, when I was resting, I used branches to practice puppet talismans on the ground. My experience increased slowly, but it was stable. Now I have reached the fifth level.

As long as you upgrade one more level, you can develop a magical power.
