My Apprenticeship to Uncle Jiu: I Was a Warlord in the Republic of China

Jiang Li said, "I still have two points to make. First, you can't kill someone in a competition. Second, I'm a human, so it's reasonable for me to use weapons!"

The old demon said, "Neither of these two points is excessive."

Soon both sides reached an agreement and stood still. Jiang Li held the "golden hoop" made of lightning-struck wood and looked at the yellow-skinned monster with its sharp claws extended ten meters away.

Seeing that it was ready, Jiang Li took the lead, took two steps forward and quickly swung the stick, drawing sharp arcs, and attacked the yellow fox with the sound of breaking wind.

The opponent moved his body flexibly, cleverly avoiding the attack of the stick, while waving his sharp claws to attack Jiang Li's thigh.

Seeing this, Jiang Li raised his stick and swung it away, then used the momentum to pull it back and hit it on the head. The yellow-skinned creature was short and thin to begin with, and its body became somewhat unstable after its claws were swung away. It was difficult for it to dodge the stick that Jiang Li swung down, and it could only tilt its head at the critical moment to avoid the vital points.

The result was that the stick hit its shoulder hard. Although the stick did not have enough power, the lightning-struck wood on which the talisman was drawn had its own damage, and with the "golden hoops" at both ends adding weight, it knocked it down directly.

The yellow fox saw that things were not going well and quickly rolled away, but Jiang Li would not let it do that. He held the golden cudgel and used his magic power to chase after it.

Whether sweeping or stabbing, the attack was like a violent storm, and the yellow-skinned beast kept dodging, occasionally seizing the opportunity to strike back with its claws. However, Jiang Li had practiced martial arts for many years and was naturally not afraid of such unsystematic attacks.

It could be easily dodged or deflected, and the yellow-skinned creature was also constantly attacked, but it was able to resist them all with its demonic power, and it was difficult to cause too much damage for a while.

As the battle progressed, the breathing of the man and the demon gradually became rapid, but for the sake of their own paths, they tried their best and were unwilling to relax even a little.

After the final fierce battle, Jiang Li, who had less magic power, should have used it up first, but the yellow-skinned man was hit dozens of times by the "Golden Cudgel", and most of his magic power was used to resist the attacks.

As a result, both sides have almost exhausted their magic power, demonic power and physical strength. Jiang Li was panting while leaning on the "golden cudgel", and the yellow-skinned man was also bending over and supporting his legs to breathe.

Seeing that Jiang Li seemed to be unable to stand steadily, Huangpizi bared his teeth and said, "You will lose if I take a breath."

That's true. After all, this yellow-skinned guy has been practicing for many years, and his body is much stronger than Jiang Li's.

But Jiang Li grinned, took out a pistol from his waist, pointed it at the yellow-skinned man and said, "Do you admit defeat or not?"

The yellow-skinned man was so angry that the three corpse gods jumped up and shouted, "How dare you cheat, you shameless bastard!"

Jiang Li fired a shot at its feet and said, "Your ancestor said that I can use weapons. I will count to three and surrender or die."

"three"

"two"

"One"

Just as Jiang Li was about to shoot, the old demon waved his hand and knocked Jiang Li, who was almost exhausted, over. Then he said, "We admit defeat. From now on, we owe each other nothing and have nothing to do with each other."

After saying that, it threw out a thick yellowed book and was about to leave.

Jiang Li then opened his mouth and shouted, "Senior, please stay and listen to what I have to say."

The old demon said frankly, "What else do you want? Do you want to kill us all?"

Jiang Li stood up and said breathlessly, "That's not the case. My deal with the senior has been completed, but I want to make another deal with your grandson. You might as well listen to it before making a decision."

The yellow-skinned man said viciously, "Whatever conspiracy you have, I won't be fooled by you."

Jiang Li smiled and said, "Before, you intercepted the Ren family's convoy. Although you injured many people, you didn't kill anyone. I want to know if you have any lives. If there is no deal between us, we can do it, and your future career will be promising."

The yellow-skinned man said doubtfully, "I met you the first time I asked for a title, and then I was waiting for you on the road. How could I have the time to kill someone?"

Jiang Li asked Uncle Jiu, "Master, do you think what it said is true or false?"

Uncle Jiu raised his sword and cast a spell on his eyes, then looked at the yellow-skinned creature and said, "It didn't lie. It doesn't have any human karma."

Jiang Li smiled and said, "If that's the case, then we have a basis for cooperation. You are asking for the title by following the divine way."

The yellow-skinned man said viciously, "You are asking this question knowing the answer, otherwise why would I ask you if you look like a god?"

Jiang Li said, "My family has bought a few barren mountains, all of which have the mayor's documents. I can give you one of them for cultivation, and build a mountain temple for you, and help you promote it so that people will come to worship you."

Not only the yellow-skinned man, but also Uncle Nine and the old demon were all surprised. The yellow-skinned man excitedly asked, "What do you want me to do?"

Jiang Li smiled and said, "I have a secret method in Maoshan. I can use the blood of spirit beasts and various rare medicinal materials to refine the essence pill that can increase cultivation."

"If you agree to use the secret method of Maoshan to refine the demonic energy into a spirit beast, then you only need to give me enough blood to refine an Essence Pill every ten days. What do you think?"

After these words came out, all the demons were stunned. Jiang Li continued to smile and said, "You follow your divine path, and I follow my immortal path. If we help each other, it will be a win-win situation. You might as well consider it."

The yellow-skinned man discussed with his ancestor and said, "Ten days is too frequent. It will damage my cultivation. I can only draw blood once a month at most."

After some bargaining, it was decided to draw blood once every twenty days, but if other monsters were discovered, Jiang Li could ask him to take action.

Seeing that the matter was resolved, the old demon left, leaving the yellow-skinned man alone in the yard, at a loss.

Seeing that he was reserved, Jiang Li said, "You don't have to be like this. By the way, I still don't know your name."

The yellow fox said shyly, "I don't have a name. They all call me Lao Si."

Jiang Li smiled and said, "You are going to become a mountain god in the future. The name Lao Si is not suitable. Why don't you be called Huang Si Lang in the future? It will just fit your identity."

Huang Silang was immediately delighted and said, "Great, great, Huang Silang Weasel, this name is great."

Uncle Jiu said, "Since you have reached an agreement with my disciple, the most urgent thing now is to refine the evil spirit in your body. I will first teach you a Taoist heart-purifying mantra. Once you have memorized it, I will help you refine the evil spirit."

Jiang Li saw his master teaching Huang Silang how to chant a spell, while he himself was flipping through the thick book "The Art of Taming Spirits". This book was actually not just a set of techniques for taming beasts, but also included methods of training and controlling them, and even methods of training ordinary beasts into spiritual beasts.

Finally, there is actually a set of secret techniques for refining demons. As long as one learns this set of techniques, one can refine a small amount of demonic energy into spiritual energy. Unfortunately, this set of techniques causes a lot of damage to the body, otherwise, with this set of techniques, he can cultivate to become an immortal.

After flipping through it for a while, Jiang Li saw that the book was so old that he was afraid it would be torn apart soon, so he simply took out a pen and paper and started copying it with his tired body.
