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

Chapter 40 The Value of the Flower Spirit, Four Eyes Come to Visit

Slay a vampire viscount and gain 300 exorcism points.

Seeing the points displayed on the demon-slaying panel, Zhong Bai rolled his eyes.

This guy is wasting the Viscount's abilities.

It seems that not drinking blood for decades has had a significant impact on his strength, since in movies and TV shows, drinking blood generally renders Taoist magic useless against him.

The Viscount is equivalent to a jumping zombie among zombies. A regular jumping zombie can be killed for 400 exorcism points in the early stages, 600 points in the mid-stages, and even 800 exorcism points in the late stages.

The bronze-armored corpse had a full 900 points, but Zhong Bai could understand it. The bigger the storm, the more expensive the fish. Clearly, this vampire was all bark and no bite.

Otherwise, they wouldn't have been powerless to resist in their own hands.

Shaking his head, Zhong Bai casually cast a Flame Talisman, igniting his body...

Maoshan, Danyao Hall.

Hua Ling stood in the pill hall, looking at the pill furnace in the center that emitted three-colored flames, and couldn't help but gasp. Needless to say, this must be a treasure!

"Little girl, do you know why this old Taoist priest took you into the Pill Hall?"

Just as Hua Ling was wondering, Master Liu Guang slowly walked over from behind. He had white hair and was leaning on a dragon-headed cane. His gaze toward Hua Ling was full of fervor.

Hua Ling turned around, startled.

"Immortal Master, the Flower Spirit is unaware..."

"Tsk tsk, I suppose so. To tell you the truth, the reason I took you as my disciple was not only because you have some talent in alchemy, but more importantly because you possess something that I need!"

Ok?
Hua Ling was completely bewildered. What did she have that this Maoshan master in front of her needed?

"The curse of the Ghost Cave Clan!"

Upon hearing this, the previously calm Liuguang Zhenren's eyes suddenly flashed with a sharp light.

“You come from a tomb raiding background, so in principle the old Taoist wouldn’t accept you as a disciple, but you actually have the curse of the Ghost Cave Clan on you!”

The old Taoist priest had been searching for the Ghost Cave Clan for decades, thinking he would never find their hiding place in this lifetime, but your arrival gave him hope.

"Hua Ling doesn't understand. May I ask, Master, is your search for the Ghost Cave Clan because you have a grudge against them?"

Hua Ling was puzzled, and only after asking the question did she belatedly cover her mouth tightly.

That's not a question she should be asking...

"Hehe, little girl, you're very curious?"

It's alright to tell you, the old Taoist has been stuck at the Foundation Establishment stage for fifty years.

If he wanted to go any further, neither his own talent nor the world around him would allow it.

Therefore, we have to find another way!
The Ghost Cave Clan possesses a supreme treasure called the Ghost Emperor Divine Flower, which bestows blessings when it blooms and brings calamity when it closes.

The curse of the Ghost Cave Clan on you was caused by the Ghost Emperor's divine flower bringing disaster.

What the old Taoist priest wants is this Ghost Emperor Divine Flower!

At this moment, Master Liuguang made no attempt to conceal his greed and desire.

He is a Taoist master from Maoshan, but he is also a normal cultivator. Who doesn't yearn to advance further?
Almost everyone on Maoshan Mountain, including the elders of each hall, was aware of Liuguang Zhenren's desire.

But no one will blame Liuguang Zhenren.

The Flowing Light Immortal only desires the Ghost Emperor's Divine Flower.

He spared the lives of the Ghost Cave tribe members, which was already considered merciful.

Every husband is not guilty, and he is guilty of his crime.

The Ghost Cave Clan is not only being pursued by Master Liuguang of Maoshan; other Taoist sects and even Buddhist sects are also searching for it, all vying for the Ghost Emperor's Divine Flower.

Seeing the Radiant Immortal's sincerity, Hua Ling couldn't bring herself to look down on him.

"So, Immortal Master, what do you need Flower Spirit to do..."

Realizing she was now at the mercy of others, Hua Ling simply stopped worrying about it.

"Haha, little girl, don't be afraid!"
If I had any intention of harming you, that old bastard Qian Yuan wouldn't have let you come to my Pill Hall.

Actually, what the old Taoist priest does is quite simple.

It's just to let you start cultivating, you don't need to have a high level of cultivation.

As long as your soul can withstand the old Taoist's Soul-Chasing Technique, you can find the Ghost Emperor's Divine Flower based on the curse on your body.

This is a win-win situation for both of us!

After Liuguang Zhenren finished speaking, he looked at Hualing, who did not hesitate and immediately performed the master-disciple kneeling ceremony.

"Disciple Hua Ling greets Master!" It is said that fate is wondrous, and the curse of the Ghost Cave Clan brought only suffering upon the Mountain Moving Taoist.

But if it lands in Maoshan, that would be the opportunity to find the ultimate treasure!

A few days later, when Hua Ling told Partridge Whistle and Old Foreigner that she had successfully become a disciple of Maoshan, Partridge Whistle opened his mouth wide in disbelief.

No, my junior sister has already soared to great heights?

Hua Ling didn't reveal the details of how she became a disciple of Maoshan, and she couldn't disclose anything about the curse of the Ghost Cave Clan.

He only subtly told Partridge Whistle and the old foreigner that they might not need to continue searching for the Muchen Pearl.

However, neither Partridge Whistle nor the old foreigner took Hua Ling's subtle reminder to heart.

After bidding farewell to Hua Ling, Partridge Whistle and Old Foreigner embarked on their journey into the world of martial arts...

Jiuquan Town.

After Zhong Bai killed the vampire in the church, the Yang family directly incorporated the church into Zhong Bai's dojo.

As for what Zhong Bai does with the church, the Yang family won't care.

"Sir! Someone is looking for you!"

Just as Zhong Bai was meditating in the room, Xia He gently knocked on the door.

Opening his eyes, Zhong Bai got up and left the room, only to see Master Simu, whom he hadn't seen for a month, looking at him with an excited expression.

"Junior Brother Qianhe, your senior brother has finally found you!"

Master Si Mu was very excited, while Zhong Bai was somewhat disgusted.

There was no other reason than that the Taoist priest with four eyes was covered in filth at this moment, and it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that he had fled from famine.

"Tsk tsk tsk, Junior Brother Qianhe, I never expected you to be living such a wonderful life so soon after arriving in Jiuquan Town. Alas, Senior Brother is suffering!"

Before Zhong Bai could even speak, Master Simu began to pour out his grievances.

However, he was truly miserable. When he came down from Maoshan, Master Simu had thought about everything and obtained everything he needed from the Corpse Driving Hall, but he forgot one thing: the place he was staying was the official road.

The fact that he had to build the temple all by himself was something that Master Simu could only say was utterly humiliating.

He has no money; the word "poor" doesn't even begin to describe him.
After working hard for more than half a month, Master Simu completely gave up his idea of ​​establishing a Taoist temple.

They set their sights directly on the other fellow disciples who were coming down the mountain.

The sect leader's personal disciple, Shi Jian, did not have a good relationship with him. Although Aunt Zhe was in the county town, he could not bring himself to ask Daoist Simu for help from her.

Only Lin Fengjiao and Zhong Bai remained.

He had already been to Renjia Town. Senior Brother Lin was honestly building a mortuary. Instead of receiving support, Si Mu was dragged by Lin Fengjiao to serve as a laborer for a few days.

Helpless, Si Mu could only hope that Zhong Bai might offer him a chance...

At this moment, judging from the excited look on Simu's face, he had made up his mind.

"Brother Four Eyes, what's wrong with you...?"

Zhong Bai looked at the filth covering Master Simu's entire body, but Simu didn't care about such trivial matters at all.

"Junior brother, your senior brother is suffering."

There was no one on that official road, so my senior brother had no source of funds to establish a temple.

"I'm truly at my wit's end, and I have no choice but to ask you for my help, junior brother!"

As he spoke, Master Simu tried to squeeze out some tears.

Zhong Bai felt a little embarrassed, while Chunhua and Xiahe couldn't help but burst out laughing.

Zhong Bai looked up at them, and Chunhua and Xiahe immediately covered their mouths.

"Ahem, sir, please talk to your senior brother first, we'll go prepare dinner right away!"

Xia He grabbed Chun Hua and ran off in a flash, leaving Zhong Bai somewhat amused and exasperated as he watched his senior brother still rambling on and on, feigning misery.

"A sin!"

Zhong Bai couldn't help but sigh inwardly, realizing that he could only let Si Mu perform his acting skills.

They were all fellow disciples and had a good relationship, so he wouldn't stand idly by.

Let's add a scene for the Ghost Cave Clan, and then confirm that Hua Ling isn't the female lead. This book has no female lead, so that's settled.

These past few days, it feels like not many people are reading, but I still have to keep updating. After all, there are still some readers who are following this book, and I can't let them down no matter what.

Then I look forward to your continued reading, monthly tickets, favorites, rewards and comments. Thank you!
