Yuantian Pidao

Chapter 41 Hair Acupuncture

On Yangjiao Mountain, the rats, under the wisdom of Rat Tianjiao, carried the wolf corpses in an orderly manner, piling up a mountain of corpses at the foot of the mountain. The scene looked a bit weird, and ordinary people would probably be scared to death seeing this scene.

But at this moment, the four people standing on the mountainside were watching this scene calmly.

"Brother Daoist, your rat-controlling technique is truly exquisite. It's not so easy for ordinary cultivators to deal with this pack of wolves. Even I, the Demon Slayer Division, can only find out the situation first and then mobilize strong warriors to encircle and suppress them. I really admire you."

Looking at Jiang Chen, the female cultivator Yue Xiu smiled sweetly. After Lu Xuanping handed over the invisibility umbrella and Jiang Chen accepted it, the atmosphere between the two sides became much more harmonious.

Under such circumstances, Yue Xiu was tempted to get close to Jiang Chen. Since Lu Xuanping, a cultivator from the same family, was interested in making friends with Jiang Chen, she, a casual cultivator, was naturally no exception.

Hearing this, Jiang Chen just smiled and said nothing. He never knew any method to control rats. The current effect was more due to the existence of the Rat King Shu Tianjiao.

Seeing this scene, a hint of sarcasm flashed in the eyes of the strong man Yang Lie. Yue Xiu usually pretended to be pure and unattainable in front of him, but now she was so fawning in front of this Taoist.

Of course, even though he thought so in his heart, Yang Lie did not slack off in his talking skills.

"Brother Daoist is a master of both magic and martial arts. This is something I have never seen before. I really admire him."

Looking at Jiang Chen, Yang Lie's rough face was filled with sincere admiration.

As a warrior, the realm he pursues is the master of martial arts. It is also because of this that he truly admires Jiang Chen. But as for the dual cultivation of magic and martial arts, it is all nonsense that he has only seen in his life. In fact, many practitioners will practice some martial arts in the realm of inspiration. After all, talismans have many restrictions, and martial arts are more applicable.

Only those who have powerful support will practice the Dharma wholeheartedly and prepare for the advancement of Qi training.

Compared to Yue Xiu, Jiang Chen took a longer look at Yang Lie, because he could clearly feel the rich energy and blood in Yang Lie's body. Obviously, this man was also a genius in martial arts. If he did not have many ferocious wolves to help him practice, he might not be able to compare with Yang Lie in terms of energy and blood alone.

However, from some small details between the three people, it can be clearly seen that Yang Lie's status among the three is actually the lowest.

Seeing Jiang Chen's performance, Lu Xuanping moved his head.

"Brother Dao, I wonder if this wolf skin is useful to you?"

After a brief conversation, Lu Xuanping had a certain understanding of Jiang Chen's temperament, and an idea came to his mind.

Hearing this, Jiang Chen glanced at Lu Xuanping and shook his head.

Seeing this, Lu Xuanping's thoughts became clearer and clearer.

"Brother Dao, since this wolf skin is of no use to you, could you please trade it to me? I can exchange it for something else."

With a sincere look, Lu Xuanping proposed a deal.

Looking at Lu Xuanping like this, Jiang Chen guessed his plan after a little thought.

"Since Fellow Daoist Lu needs it, then take it."

Smiling, Jiang Chen handed over the wolf skin in his hand which was still slightly warm.

Just as Lu Xuanping wanted to make friends with him, he also wanted to make friends with Lu Xuanping. According to some information he had collected so far, most of the practitioners and practice resources in Qingyuan County were actually concentrated near the county seat.

If he wants to collect some resources for cultivation in the future, he will most likely have to go through the county town. In this way, Lu Xuanping, a direct descendant of the Lu family, will be of great value.

Seeing Jiang Chen like this, Lu Xuanping also smiled. Compared with the previous smile that made people feel like spring breeze, his smile at this moment was a little fainter, but more real.

While the Wolf King's pelt held some value, it wasn't actually that high. What truly mattered was the meaning behind it. Jiang Chen's willingness to trade it so readily, given the circumstances, spoke volumes about his attitude. "To be honest, this wolf pelt is quite useful to the three of us. Xuanping would like to express his gratitude, Brother Dao. I was in such a hurry this time that I didn't bring many treasures with me. So, I'll trade these three ounces of spiritual sand and a spell for this wolf pelt."

In the midst of his words, Jiang Chen had no choice but to refuse. Lu Xuanping walked to the side and carved the contents of a talisman on a stone wall with a dagger.

"This fellow Daoist Lu is truly a man of great intelligence."

After seeing the contents of the talisman on the stone wall, Jiang Chen couldn't help but admire Lu Xuanping's ingenuity.

This talisman technique is called the Needle Technique, which is a relatively unpopular method. For cultivators, it is not actually very useful. However, for monsters like Shu Tianjiao, this talisman technique is extremely useful. If practiced well, it can be used for both attack and defense.

"I am truly delighted to have met such a remarkable man as Brother Dao today. Unfortunately, the matter of the wolf pack is of great importance, and we must hurry back to report. Brother Dao, when you arrive in the county town in the future, you must come find me. I will then prepare a banquet for you."

After completing the engraving of the talisman, Lu Xuanping took out a bag from his sleeve and said goodbye. He was just pretending to go back to report, but was leaving space for Jiang Chen to clean up the harvest. As for making friends with Jiang Chen, he was not in a hurry, as this matter needed to be done step by step.

It was also because of this that he never asked Jiang Chen's name from beginning to end. If Jiang Chen wanted to say it, he would listen. If Jiang Chen didn't want to say it, he wouldn't ask. After all, through the conversation, he roughly judged that Jiang Chen should be a casual cultivator, and such people would often have more taboos when traveling outside.

Hearing this and looking at Lu Xuanping like this, Jiang Chen did not try to keep him anymore. What he was going to do next was indeed not suitable for outsiders to be present, so he smiled and sent the three of them down the mountain.

After leaving Yangjiao Mountain, Lu Xuanping, Yue Xiu and Yang Lie all breathed a sigh of relief.

Although the process of getting along with Jiang Chen was quite pleasant, they still felt a lot of pressure in their hearts after witnessing the miserable appearance of the Wolf King with their own eyes and facing such a vicious man like Jiang Chen.

It was at this time that an old Taoist priest in gray clothes and with a gourd hanging around his waist appeared not far away.

Seeing this Taoist priest, Lu Xuanping hurriedly went to greet him.

"Uncle Mo, I'm sorry to bother you again this time."

With a look of respect on his face, Lu Xuanping bowed to the Taoist in gray. After being discovered by Jiang Chen, he immediately sought help from outside. This Taoist Mo was a guest of the Lu family. He had perfected his spiritual cultivation and mastered several powerful talisman techniques. He had a very close relationship with him.

In order to be on the safe side, Mr. Mo followed him on this trip.

Upon hearing this, Taoist Mo looked Lu Xuanping up and down carefully.

"It seems you have resolved the matter."

After confirming that Lu Xuanping was not injured, Mo Daoren knew that the worst case scenario had not happened.

Hearing this, Lu Xuanping nodded.

"It was a close call, but I did have some unexpected gains this time. Not only did I get the Wolf King skin, but I also met a very interesting fellow Taoist..."

Without hiding anything, Lu Xuanping told everything related to Jiang Chen.

After hearing this, a hint of interest appeared on Mo Daoren's face.

"He is not only a martial arts master but also a cultivator. I didn't expect there is such a person. Xuanping, you did a really good job this time."

With a look of relief on his face, Mo Daoren expressed his approval of Lu Xuanping's actions.

Although pure martial arts masters are rare, they are actually not worthy of Lu Xuanping's efforts to win them over. This is because although martial arts masters are not weak, they are actually no match for Qigong practitioners. Moreover, their future is already determined and there is no possibility of further progress. However, Jiang Chen is also a cultivator with extraordinary means, which is completely different.
