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

Chapter 94 The Samadhi Fire Technique, Martial Uncle Gifts Essence Blood
"Disciple Zhong Bai pays respects to Grandmaster Ming!"

As Zhong Bai was about to perform a grand salute, Ming Wanqian, seeing that Zhong Bai was really about to kneel down, lightly touched his fingertip, and Zhong Bai was frozen in place.

"Oh my, are you serious, kid?"

You don't need to be so respectful in front of this old Taoist priest. Wait until he passes away and returns to the underworld before you kneel.

Tsk, everyone says you're a celestial being reincarnated from heaven.

Although the old Taoist priest had consulted the patriarch of the underworld, he had dispelled this doubt.

But what if the patriarch of the underworld is unreliable and this old Taoist priest can't bear your kneeling?

Seeing his great-uncle Ming Shi teasing him like this, Zhong Bai's expression became slightly unnatural.

Which big mouth spread such unreliable rumors? He's supposed to be a god descended to earth?
"Grandmaster Ming, please don't listen to those rumors and nonsense. How could your disciple possibly be a deity descended to earth?"

My disciple's success today is all thanks to the excellent training I received from Maoshan, hehe, Uncle Master Ming...

"You're a Golden Core True Monarch, surely you can't be unaware of that?"

"Hmph, stop flattering me. You're a shrewd little devil. Tell me, what exactly are you looking for in the Scripture Pavilion this time?"

Upon hearing his grandmaster mention serious matters, Zhong Bai's earlier playful demeanor vanished, replaced by a solemn expression.

"Grandmaster Uncle, I have come to the Scripture Pavilion to select a supernatural power that is no less powerful than the Divine Firmament Five Thunder Technique."

?

Upon hearing this, Ming Wanqian was visibly taken aback.

"Is your Divine Firmament Five Thunder Technique not good? Or have you encountered difficulties in cultivating the Divine Firmament Five Thunder Technique?"

Zhong Bai shook his head, "No, Grandmaster Uncle, you know that I was just appointed as the Maoshan Daoist. Even though it was said before the appointment that my use of the Divine Firmament Five Thunder Technique would not be a big deal, I feel that I represent the face of Maoshan."

Although the Divine Firmament Five Thunder Technique cannot be abandoned, another powerful Maoshan divine ability must be cultivated.

Zhong Bai's answer made Ming Wanqian's eyes darken. "Your decision wasn't instigated by that old bastard Qian Yuan, was it?"

"Reporting to Grandmaster Uncle, this matter has nothing to do with my master; it was a decision I made myself."

It must be said that Ming Wanqian's intuition was very accurate. This matter was indeed somewhat related to Qian Yuan Zhenren. Although he only advised Zhong Bai, he was still involved in it.

"Alas, why did your master do this?"

The old Taoist priest said that the patriarchs of the underworld wouldn't have any objections just because you practice the Divine Firmament Five Thunder Technique. In fact, they would love for you to become a Golden Core True Monarch, or even a Nascent Soul Dao Monarch, and to master the Purple Firmament Divine Thunder—that would be the right thing to do!

Zhong Bai remained silent. If he didn't have the Demon Exorcism Panel, he probably wouldn't choose to add a supernatural power, since a person's energy is limited.

Zhong Bai, who possesses the Demon Extermination Panel, feels that having an additional supernatural ability is actually quite good, as it provides more diverse combat methods, which is not a bad thing.

“Grandmaster Ming, I understand your concerns, but I would like to say that you can rest assured that one or two supernatural abilities and techniques will not be a burden for me.”

Since Zhong Bai has said so, what can Ming Wanqian do?

"Sigh, fine, brat, keep causing trouble!"
"Since you want to choose a supernatural power, what's your goal?"

Zhong Bai was very honest and shook his head.

"Grandmaster Uncle, I have no goal. You are a Golden Core True Monarch, Grandmaster Uncle. Please tell me what kind of supernatural power is suitable for me, and I will cultivate that supernatural power!"

"Slippery!"

Ming Wanqian smiled and did not refuse, then began to look at Zhong Bai and ponder.

"By the way, besides the Divine Firmament Five Thunder Technique, you're also cultivating the Upper Clarity Dragon Elephant Technique, right?"
Last time I saw that your body's Qi and blood were in a state of great strength, which was obviously a sign of the perfection of the Shangqing Body Tempering Technique. How is your Shangqing Dragon Elephant Technique now?
Let this old Taoist priest see for himself!

Zhong Bai didn't quite understand the reason, but his intuition told him that his Uncle Master Ming wouldn't harm him.

Fortunately, the surging blood and qi in his body surged out, and in an instant, the temperature in the entire Sutra Repository, centered around Zhong Bai, suddenly rose.

Ming Wanqian's eyes were filled with joy. With a wave of his hand, the qi and blood energy around Zhong Bai disappeared without a trace.

"Tsk tsk tsk, not bad, looks like it's already at least the power of two elephants."

"Reporting to my grandmaster uncle, I have a strength of about 30,000 jin."

"Alright, that's pretty much it. This old Taoist knows which supernatural power suits you now!"

At this point, Ming Wanqian raised his palm, and the instant a three-colored flame appeared in his palm, Zhong Bai felt a scorching heat rushing towards him.

"Three Flames of True Fire!"

It seemed like it had been a long time since this supernatural power had been mentioned. After recalling for a moment, Ming Wanqian continued, "I suppose you've also heard the folk legend that Laozi used the Samadhi Fire to refine elixirs."

However, the Samadhi Fire is actually considered a great supernatural power in Taoism!
but……

This Samadhi is not the same as that Samadhi. The conditions for cultivating the Samadhi True Fire are extremely demanding. To ignite the Samadhi True Fire, one must first have strong essence, energy, and spirit!
"Essence and Qi are blood and vital energy, while spirit is the strength of the soul. To put it simply, it's like starting a fire. Blood and vital energy are the wood, and the soul is the ignition source. Your Shangqing Dragon Elephant Technique just happens to make your blood and vital energy far surpass that of ordinary cultivators. Coupled with the Nine Nether Soul Transformation Technique passed down to you by the Tongyou Palace, you really should try out this Samadhi True Fire supernatural power!"

Upon hearing this, Zhong Bai was overjoyed.

"Let me first mention some benefits. There are many benefits to cultivating the Samadhi True Fire for you. First of all, the Samadhi True Fire is no worse than your Divine Firmament Five Thunder Technique. Secondly, thunder and fire are interconnected to some extent."

"Tsk tsk tsk, just imagine, when you one day become a Golden Core True Monarch, with the Divine Firmament Five Thunders in one hand and the Samadhi True Fire in the other, all evil spirits in the world will surely tremble in fear at the mere mention of your name!" Ming Wanqian continued, changing the subject, "However, cultivating the Samadhi True Fire will greatly consume your internal energy and blood. If your Upper Clarity Dragon Elephant Technique cannot keep up, then you are just practicing blindly. Not only will it not make you invincible in thunder and fire, but it may also waste your precious time."

"You decide which is more important..."

With things already said to this extent, what else could Zhong Bai possibly consider?

"Ahem, Uncle Master Ming, this disciple thinks I should give it a try!"

Upon hearing this, Ming Wanqian breathed a sigh of relief. He was afraid that Zhong Bai would waver after he said these things, which would have been truly terrible.

"So good!
The Samadhi True Fire is different from the Divine Firmament Five Thunder Technique; it is inscribed on a jade slip. In fact, apart from the Divine Firmament Five Thunder Technique, which is not a profound supernatural power technique of Maoshan, all other advanced supernatural powers are recorded on jade slips.

Come with me...

Zhong Bai was very obedient. After nodding, he followed behind his grandmaster. After walking for a few minutes, Ming Wanqian stopped in front of a shelf, took out a jade slip from a box, and handed it to Zhong Bai.

"Open it, and the contents of Samadhi Fire will be directly engraved in your mind."

Zhong Bai obediently did as instructed. After the jade slip was opened, a stream of light entered his brow, and a large amount of information about the Samadhi Fire filled Zhong Bai's mind, making him feel somewhat dizzy.

"Alright, you've got the Samadhi True Fire now. Whether you can achieve anything in the future depends on how you cultivate it."

"Now, you may leave the library."

Seeing that his grandmaster was urging him to leave, Zhong Bai politely took his leave and did not linger.

By the time they returned to the Hall of Law Enforcement, it was nearly evening.

As soon as Zhong Bai entered the main hall, he saw that in addition to his own master, his two other uncles were also there.

One is the Immortal of Immortality, and the other is the Lin Jun Sect.

"Disciple Zhong Bai greets Master and two Uncle-Masters!"

Seeing Zhong Bai return from the Sutra Repository, Qian Yuan, who was sitting at the head of the table, stood up. "It's good that my disciple is back. I don't think your grandmaster will make things difficult for you. He won't question what kind of supernatural power you chose as your master. By the way, your two grandmasters came to the Hall of Enforcement for you."

Zhong Bai immediately understood, and then smiled and said, "What brings you two senior uncles to Zhong Bai's place?"

Zhong Bai's appearance left both Changsheng Zhenren and Lin Junmen quite helpless, but their purpose in coming here was not to achieve success overnight.

"Hahaha, Junior Nephew Qianhe, your Uncle has heard that you have cultivated the Shangqing Dragon Elephant Technique, a physical cultivation method. Speaking of which, to continuously improve the Shangqing Dragon Elephant Technique, you need the essence blood of demon beasts."

The master and nephew are destined to be together, and the master happens to have the essence blood of a Foundation Establishment demon general.

For the uncle, it was just a matter of exchanging for some pills, but for the nephew, it was extremely important.

Therefore, your Uncle-Master Lin and I have come together to present our essence blood to our nephew, as a gift for his investiture as a Dao Child.

The smile on Changsheng Zhenren's face never disappeared as he said this.

Lin Junmen, who was standing to the side, also laughed and said, "Nephew Qianhe, this demon general's essence blood is really useless to us uncles."

My nephew is now a Taoist disciple of Maoshan. After leaving the mountain, he will represent the face of Maoshan. We, as his uncles, are very happy that he can advance further.

"Nephew, please don't refuse!"

This statement was half true and half false. They were naturally proud that Zhong Bai, as a Daoist disciple, could become famous throughout the world, but more importantly, they wanted to take this opportunity to test Qian Yuan Zhenren.

Zhong Bai pondered for a moment, neither rejecting nor accepting immediately, until Master Qian Yuan patted him on the shoulder.

"Disciple, your two uncles are sincere and want to see you become famous throughout the world. We cannot refuse their kindness, so please accept it!"

Hearing his master say this, Zhong Bai had no choice but to accept it. The amount of essence blood was enormous; it was actually the essence blood of the Crimson Serpent General from a few years ago.

The Immortal of Longevity had been kept unused for a long time, but now it's finally coming in handy.

“Disciple, you go back first. Your master and your two uncles have something to say to each other.”

Upon hearing his master say this, Zhong Bai understood that his master was about to lay all his cards on the table.

He decided not to refuse and left the main hall after bidding farewell to his two senior uncles.

After Zhong Bai left, the smile on Qian Yuan Zhenren's face disappeared, replaced by a deep silence.

After a long while, when the atmosphere in the main hall became somewhat solemn, Master Qian Yuan finally looked at the two of them.

“Junior Brother Changsheng, Junior Brother Lin, we have known each other for decades, nearly a century. We are all fellow disciples. We can speak freely about anything.”

After Master Qian Yuan started, Master Chang Sheng was the first to speak with relief: "Let's not beat around the bush. Senior Brother Qian Yuan should understand the purpose of my arrival. The Underworld Ancestor of the Corpse Driving Hall is pushing too hard on the matter of the two halls jointly training Junior Nephew Qian He."

The junior brother knew that his senior brother wasn't very willing, but the junior brother was suffering!
Senior Brother Qian Yuan, if you don't agree to this, I'm really doomed!
The patriarchs said that if I can't even do this well, when I take up a post in the underworld, I will definitely teach my junior brother a lesson.

Senior Brother Qian Yuan, you know the temperament of our Corpse-Driving Hall's past patriarchs. If such a day were to come, what would happen to your junior brother...?

Therefore, I have no choice but to resort to this desperate measure, hoping that Senior Brother Qian Yuan might be able to make an exception.

After saying this, the Immortal of Longevity's eyes glistened with tears, but no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't shed a single tear...

Ahhhh! Help! I can't write a single chapter in five chapters! Waaah! I must have been talking too loudly yesterday. Damn, after writing four chapters, my head feels like it's about to explode. I guess I'll just have to wait until the May Day holiday when I have more time to finish... Typing is so tiring...
