Original God: Start with Qiuqiu, become stronger with food and beauties

In Liyue Harbor——

A pale, frail man stood in the middle of the deserted street. His expression was weary, his eyes dull, as if he had been suffering from a long illness. He looked around, as if searching for something. Finally, he spotted a passerby and stopped him, asking, "Excuse me, how do I get to the Hall of Rebirth?"

The pedestrian stopped and looked carefully at the frail man in front of him. Then he pointed to a bridge in the distance and said, "See that bridge over there? Turn right before you get on it."

The man thanked the passerby gratefully and continued walking with heavy steps. When he was halfway there, he suddenly heard a shout from behind: "Little friend, please stay!"

He turned around and saw an old man in a gray robe walking quickly towards him. The old man stopped him, shook his head and sighed, "My friend, I've noticed you a long time ago. Looking at your condition, your forehead is dark, your eyes are dull, your Qi and blood are depleted, and there's an evil aura lingering around you. I'm afraid you won't live long. But don't worry, I've found you and I have a way to save you."

The man's heart sank upon hearing this. Thinking of his own condition and the young woman known as the head of the Wangsheng Hall, he hesitated. Should he seek help from the Wangsheng Hall, or trust the old man? After some thought, he finally decided to follow the old man and give it a try. After all, the old man looked more like a professional. So, he followed the old man to the side steps and sat down.

"Here's a talisman. Take it with you. Tonight at midnight, those evil spirits will surely come after you again. However... a talisman alone isn't enough..." The old man said, pulling out a piece of yellow talisman paper from his bosom and handing it to the man. He wrote something on it and continued, "Try to get these materials as much as possible. I'll then set up a formation and cast a spell to keep you safe."

The man took the talisman, glanced at the words on it, nodded and said, "Oh, okay." After that, he turned and left.

After the man left, he started asking around, asking where he could buy the materials. After some effort, he finally found all the materials. He took the materials back to the place where he had come from and found the old man.

Seeing the man return, the old man nodded with satisfaction, then took him out of Liyue Harbor and came to a place with good feng shui. Here, the old man began to set up a formation to exorcise the evil spirit.

However, just as the old man was arranging the formation, he suddenly felt a chill. He quickly counted on his fingers, his expression turning grim. He frowned and said to the man, "Not right..." Then, he quickly pulled out all the copper and iron tools he had on him and placed them in a circle around the man, instructing him not to leave the circle. Then, he hurried away.

"Hey, Master! Don't go!" The man shouted hurriedly as he watched the figure gradually recede into the distance, wondering to himself if this old man wasn't skilled enough. If I had known earlier, I wouldn't have picked up random things.

……

Inside Wanmin Hall, a blue-haired child was enjoying a cold dish. At this moment, the old man who had previously exorcised the man came over and pulled him up. "Chongyun, follow me. We've encountered a formidable evil spirit this time."

"Really?" Chongyun was immediately excited when he heard this. He quickly took out his great sword and wiped it carefully. "This time, I will definitely be able to exorcise the evil spirit myself."

The old man shook his head helplessly: "I hope you can scare it away directly, and we can just collect the money." After that, he left with Chongyun.

Just after taking half a step, the old man thought about something and prepared to reach into his pocket.

Master Mao waved his hand: "Your grandson has already paid."

"That's good." The old man nodded, then handed him a letter and instructed: "When you are free at night, please pass it to Mr. Zhongli, a guest official of the Wangsheng Hall." After that, he took Chongyun and continued on his journey.

Hall of Rebirth——

Zhongli sipped his tea and observed Hu Tao scribbling on paper with a brush. He said casually, "The Hall Master seems to be in a good mood."

"Of course. I handled an important matter today, and I'm waiting for business to come to me tonight." The corners of Hu Tao's mouth turned up, and her eyes were shining like stars, and they couldn't be brighter.

After a period of time.

"..." Hu Tao's smile froze, and the Hall of Rebirth was still deserted.

"Why not come? Could it be that he wants to... enjoy other services?" Walnut tilted her head and thought hard.

At this time, the ferryman came in with a letter and handed it to Zhongli: "Mr. Zhongli, here is a letter for you."

"Hmm..." Zhongli opened the letter and nodded.

Walnut leaned over and asked excitedly, "What's wrong? What's wrong? Is there some business?"

Zhongli nodded: "That's probably true. The old man from the Chong family seems to have run into some trouble and needs the help of Wangsheng Hall."

Kurumi picked up the Homa staff, her eyes lighting up: "Then what are we waiting for? Let's go."

Zhongli was still leisurely sipping his tea: "Don't worry, Hall Master. Just arrive before midnight."

……

"It seems like those coming here are all monsters..." Chongyun swung his sword at a hillman, killing it and then killing several slimes. He looked around but didn't see anything unusual.

The old man closed his eyes, muttering something to himself, but his brows were still furrowed. "How could this be? This shouldn't be the case..."

"Grandpa, what happened?" Chongyun couldn't help but ask.

"The secret of heaven is blocked, the situation is not good!" said the old man worriedly.

At this time, the black fog that caused the riot in Liyue Harbor appeared again. It deliberately avoided Chongyun and rushed straight towards the weak man.

"How dare you, ignorant mortal, attempt to stop the abyss?" a deep voice rang out. A strange portal appeared in mid-air, and a mysterious figure slowly emerged. Two water abyss mages followed him.

"Abyss Mage, hey..." The old man looked at the mysterious man standing in front of the two Abyss Mages with a solemn expression. He had never seen him before. Could he be a core member of the Abyss Cult? He looked at the man surrounded by the formation he had set up and said, "To face the Abyss Cult, I may have to go on the road with you today."

"Feel the grace." The mysterious man gathered the ominous water elemental power in his hands and condensed it into two blades.

"Chongyun, run quickly! Go find someone!" The old man held the talisman and rushed towards the mysterious man.

"No! I have to fight off such a special evil spirit for a few moves." Chongyun raised his sword and fought back and forth with his grandfather against the Apostle of the Abyss.

"Hmph—" The mysterious man drew a set of water blades, breaking the magic weapon surrounding the man. The black mist instantly seized the opportunity to rush into the broken formation circle and penetrate into the man's body.

"Ah! Ugh!" The man fell to the ground, covered his head and began to roll around.

The old man looked back and his eyes widened: "Oh no!"
