This humble Taoist priest, Qianhe, begins his quest for immortality by slaying demons and monsters.

Chapter 35 The Yang Family's Request, The Day of Relocating the Grave

The next day, just as dawn broke, Zhong Bai woke up from his sleep, stretched, and opened the door.

Then you can see that the two maids, Chunhua and Xiahe, have already started busying themselves in the courtyard.

Chunhua was busy giving the Angry Sun Chicken a bath, because Zhongbai was a little disgusted by the smell of the Angry Sun Chicken after traveling for half a month.

Xia He got up early to go to the market to buy ingredients and personally cooked breakfast for Zhong Bai.

I have to say, it's wonderful to be waited on.

Upon seeing Zhong Bai emerge, Chunhua, who had been bathing the Angry Rooster, smiled sweetly, then stopped what she was doing, stood up, and said, "Good morning, sir!"

The words "Sir" and "Good morning" made Zhong Bai slightly stunned, since servants in this era mostly addressed each other as "Master" or "Greetings".

Whether it's "Sir" or "Good morning," these phrases were all introduced by foreigners.

“Sir, you told us not to call you Daoist Master last night. After thinking it over, we think it might be more appropriate to call you sir.”

By the way, the eldest son of Old Master Yang studied abroad, and he taught us these manners.

Chunhua was very clever, and Zhong Bai smiled.

The term "sir" is just right; it doesn't feel unfamiliar or distant, and it adds a touch of humanity compared to "Taoist master."

From now on, you and Xia He shall address me as "this humble Taoist priest"!

"Yes, sir. Please wait a moment. Xiahe is already preparing breakfast for you."

Zhong Bai readily accepted this offer.

He is currently in the Qi Refining stage and cannot yet practice abstaining from grains.

To the point of not eating grains or cereals.

Only by reaching the Foundation Establishment stage can one drink the spiritual energy of heaven and earth and not eat grains.

After having breakfast, Zhong Bai went back to his room.

He still has 300 demon-slaying points. Although the number is not large, it can be converted into 300 days of cultivation!
This time, Zhong Bai didn't hesitate and directly exchanged all his demon-slaying points for cultivation days of the Shangqing Body Tempering Technique.

[Consume 300 Demon Extermination Points to exchange for 300 days of cultivation time for the Shangqing Body Tempering Technique.]

[Whether to redeem]

After clicking "Yes" on the virtual panel in front of him, Zhong Bai quickly entered the state of mind.

[On Day 1, you know that continuing to increase your points in the Divine Firmament Five Thunder Technique will make your physical strength insufficient, so you are eager to improve your Upper Clarity Body Tempering Technique.]

[On the 69th day, after two months of arduous training, you still cannot reach the perfection barrier of the Shangqing Body Tempering Technique.]

[Day 269. At this moment, you have begun to doubt yourself. The progress of the Shangqing Body Tempering Technique is slow, like a snail's pace.]

On the 300th day, you know you can't break through to the peak of the Shangqing Body Tempering Technique in a short time, but 300 days of arduous training have given you a strength of 6,000 jin in your arms, and your physical body and meridians have also been strengthened to some extent.

[This skill point allocation training session is now complete!]

As the demon-slaying points were exhausted, a surge of surging qi blood within Zhong Bai's body also began to overflow uncontrollably, raising the temperature of the entire room considerably.

Slowly opening his eyes and exhaling a breath of stale air, Zhong Bai felt somewhat disappointed.

After spending 300 days adding points to the Shangqing Body Tempering Technique, I am still some distance from reaching perfection.

However, Zhong Bai was not discouraged. If 300 demon-slaying points were not enough, then he would use 1000!

If 1,000 isn't enough, then 5000 will do!

It's just a demon-slaying spot...

As long as you are ruthless enough and hardworking enough, you will never lack opportunities to eliminate demons in the future.

Having just finished his cultivation, Zhong Bai stood up, his muscles and bones throbbing as if roaring like a tiger or howling like a wolf.

After stretching, I stepped out of the house.

Inside the courtyard, the old master of the Yang family was already sitting on a stone bench, waiting to enjoy tea.

"Sir, the old master seems to have something important to discuss with you, but you have instructed that no one is allowed to approach you before you come out."

So the old master has been waiting for the teacher for half an hour.

Chunhua jogged up to Zhong Bai, whispered her words, and then tactfully stepped aside.

"What urgent matter brings you here, Elder Yang?"

Zhong Bai could tell that the Yang family had come to him with something important, otherwise they wouldn't have needed the old patriarch of the Yang family to come in person.

Upon hearing this, Patriarch Yang lowered his head somewhat ashamed and said, "To be honest, I have come here today because I need to trouble you with something, Daoist Master!"

Seeing that Zhong Bai's expression remained unchanged, the old patriarch of the Yang family hesitated for a moment before continuing, "The reason why my Yang family has been able to stand firm in Jiuquan Town for hundreds of years and even expand our business to surrounding counties is because three hundred years ago our ancestor invited a feng shui master to bury him in the Seven Stars Gathering Wealth Treasure Cave."

However, the Seven Stars Gathering Wealth Treasure Site needs to be moved every sixty years.

A feng shui master once said that Jiuquan Town is the location of the Three Killings.

Evil energy can easily erode the Seven Star Treasure Grotto, so a Taoist master is needed to be present to oversee each relocation of the grave.

Now that the sixty-year cycle has arrived, I, an old man, wish to oversee the relocation of the graves, but I cannot find a Taoist master to preside over the process.

Perhaps it was a blessing from heaven that allowed the Taoist priest to come to Jiuquan Town to oversee the area.

Therefore, I have come here to invite the Taoist priest to accompany me in overseeing the relocation of the grave.

I just don't know if you'll have the time...

Hearing this, Zhong Bai felt a little embarrassed.

He's fine with sitting in charge, but asking him to locate auspicious burial sites would be a bit much.

In this regard, Lin Fengjiao of the Talisman Hall is more skilled in geomancy.

"Master Yang, to be frank, it's just a matter of overseeing the relocation of the grave, that's no problem."

However... if there are feng shui issues, then this humble Taoist priest is powerless to help.

What I have learned is the art of killing and supernatural powers.

I have never been exposed to the arts of geomancy, feng shui, or divination.

Hearing Zhong Bai say this, the old patriarch Yang was obviously a little surprised. After all, in this day and age, which Taoist priest doesn't know a little about Feng Shui and Qimen Dunjia?

But Zhong Bai is an anomaly.

However, the old patriarch Yang didn't think much of it. He didn't need Zhong Bai to determine the burial site; he could just watch from the sidelines to avoid any accidents.

"It's alright, it's alright. The Taoist master has learned unparalleled supernatural powers, and the minor arts of feng shui are naturally unworthy of the Taoist master."

"Well... it's settled then. The day for moving the graves at the Yang family residence is in three days. I will send someone to personally fetch the Taoist priest then!"

............................................................

It wasn't until after the old patriarch Yang left that Zhong Bai belatedly realized what had happened.

Hmm, relocating graves, could it be the second patriarch of the Ren family?
? ? ? ?
Zhong Bai shook his head.

I've gone a bit too far in my desire to exorcise demons. Ahem, it's not proper to curse the Yang family like that.

Three days passed in a flash, and Zhong Bai was not idle during these days.

If the body cannot withstand the influx of massive amounts of spiritual energy from heaven and earth, can't it still cultivate slowly?
Even a small mosquito is still meat; I can't just lie around like a corpse just because I have the Demon Extermination Panel.

When Zhong Bai left, the sedan chair bearers sent by the Yang family had been waiting for a long time.

After getting into the sedan chair, Zhong Bai went to the Yang residence to meet up with the Yang family members and then head to the Yang family ancestral graves.

The Yang family ancestral tombs are located on the mountainside three miles east of Jiuquan Town.

As Zhong Bai watched the sedan chair bearers sweating profusely, lost in thought, they arrived at the Yang family ancestral tombs.

"Get off the sedan!"

As the two sedan bearers alighted from the sedan chair, Zhong Bai stepped down and looked around.

Although Zhong Bai didn't understand feng shui layouts very well, he had learned some techniques of observing qi.

This place is towering high, and while the malevolent energy from within a hundred miles gathers in Jiuquan Town, it also brings wealth to the surrounding area. Under the pressure of the malevolent energy, the wealth rises along the mountain slope.

The burial site of the Yang family ancestral graves is precisely where the rising and gathering of wealth energy forms a "Seven Stars Gathering Wealth Treasure Site".

No wonder the Yang family has enjoyed wealth and status for centuries; their ancestors were buried so well that their descendants are bound to be successful.

This situation is all too common; the Ren family in Renjia Town is no exception.

Thinking of the Ren family, Zhong Bai looked strangely at the Yang family's ancestral graves.

Shaking his head to clear his mind of all the jumbled thoughts, Zhong Bai then followed the Yang family forward to prepare for the relocation of the grave.

"Ancestors, your descendants have come to help you move!"

As the old patriarch of the Yang family knelt tremblingly at the tomb, his preface came to an end.

The servants, who were already prepared, picked up their tools and were ready to get started.
