A passerby in a horror movie

After returning to the mortuary, Li Haotian continued his cultivation.

In the afternoon, Uncle Jiu gave him some more guidance. Li Haotian took advantage of the free time to ask Master Simu about the art of summoning spirits.

However, Master Four Eyes did not immediately teach him this technique.

The reason is that Li Haotian's cultivation level is still shallow, and Master Simu is afraid that he will be distracted by learning too much, so he should first learn the basic skills.

However, Master Simu also gave him some pointers on cultivation and magic, which greatly benefited Li Haotian.

At midnight, Li Haotian sat cross-legged on the bed, practicing the cultivation method of the third chapter of the Shangqing Great Cave True Scripture, focusing on preserving his spirit and refining his qi.

The divine spirit he was contemplating was gradually taking shape within his body. Without Li Haotian even having to consciously mobilize it, his magical power flowed on its own, solidifying and increasing in circles.

At a certain moment, Li Haotian felt a sudden movement in his dantian. The energy ball in his dantian swelled up like a balloon, then gradually shrank and slowly condensed into a solid shape.

"I did it, I did it!"

Li Haotian was overjoyed, and then quickly calmed his mind and firmly established the Dharma Embryo in his dantian.

As Li Haotian poured his whole heart into the practice, he unknowingly entered a state of deep tranquility. Li Haotian felt as if large patches of white clouds appeared around him, as if he were in a celestial palace.

At this moment, Li Haotian had lost his sense of time and did not know how long he had been cultivating.

When I opened my eyes again, I found it was already dawn, and the sky was just beginning to lighten.

"This feels so good."

Li Haotian stretched his arms and legs and found that his body had become very light, as if all the joints in his body had been opened up.

His body became very soft, and his internal magical power was also very abundant, making his body feel warm.

The formation of the Dharma Embryo signifies that Li Haotian has completed the first level of the Shangqing Great Cave True Scripture and has fully entered the realm of refining essence into qi.

Although it was only one layer, Li Haotian could feel that the magical power within his body was no less than when he first borrowed magic from Huang Daxian.

This is the difference between different cultivation methods in different worlds.

The ghosts and gods in the world of Mr. Zombie are more advanced than those in the world of the Mountain Village Corpse, and their martial arts techniques are naturally more sophisticated as well.

Even the cultivation environment is much better, otherwise Li Haotian wouldn't have been able to cultivate so quickly.

However, Li Haotian's ability to reach the first level within two days already makes him a genius.

Li Haotian planned to share this good news with Uncle Jiu and Master Simu.

"Today is a good day, everything you want can come true."

Before Wen Cai could knock on the door, Li Haotian walked out of the room humming a song.

At this time, Uncle Nine and Master Four Eyes had also gotten up and were busy with their own things, while Wencai was still making breakfast in the kitchen.

"Junior brother, why are you up so early today?"

In the kitchen, Wen Cai saw that Li Haotian had gotten up and asked him in surprise.

"Oh, I have some cultivation-related matters to ask my uncle about today, so I got up a little early."

Hearing Li Haotian's words, Wen Cai couldn't help but sigh, shake his head, and look at Li Haotian with a serious expression, saying:

"Junior brother, why are you acting like your master, all old-fashioned? What's so good about learning those Taoist arts?"

Every day involves meditation, memorizing texts, and drawing talismans—it's exhausting! Besides, learning Taoism requires talent; you might never even get a foothold, junior brother. You might as well enjoy your youth while you can.

Wen Cai had assumed that a young master like Li Haotian wouldn't be that interested in meditation and cultivation.

Unexpectedly, after spending the last two days with Li Haotian, he realized how hard Li Haotian was working, which made him feel a little uneasy.

Wencai couldn't quite understand it.

If your family is so rich, why are you studying Taoism?

Learning these things is not very useful; you won't earn much money, and you'll just suffer for nothing.

Most importantly, when Uncle Nine saw how hard Li Haotian was working, he and Qiu Sheng seemed very useless in comparison.

Therefore, Uncle Nine has been very strict with them these days, and Wen Cai and Qiu Sheng are both suffering.

This is also Wencai's true thought.

Although his master had taught him for a long time, Wencai just couldn't understand the scriptures, let alone meditate and cultivate himself.

His only dream was to open a shop, become rich, marry a beautiful wife, and live a peaceful life.

Upon hearing Wen Cai's words, Li Haotian did not rush to refute them, but instead smiled and shook his head.

Wencai is just like that. Not to mention Li Haotian, even Uncle Jiu, who has taught Wencai for so many years, has not been able to change him.

Therefore, Li Haotian did not intend to debate or persuade him. Everyone has their own destiny, and Wen Cai was destined to be unrelated to the Dao, so there was no need to interfere too much.

Li Haotian turned his head, about to help set the table, when he suddenly saw Uncle Jiu standing angrily at the door, and immediately felt sorry for Wencai.

"You Wencai, it's one thing if you don't study properly yourself, but you're also corrupting your junior brother. I'll beat you to death today."

Uncle Jiu, who had just arrived in the kitchen, stopped to listen for a while after hearing Wen Cai chatting with Li Haotian.

I never expected to hear that Wen Cai was leading Li Haotian astray here.

Li Haotian is someone even the patriarch takes care of, someone who needs to be nurtured. If Wencai leads him astray, even the patriarch might not forgive him. That's why Uncle Jiu is so angry.

As he spoke, Uncle Nine picked up a stick from the side and struck Wen Cai.

Wen Cai wasn't about to stand there and take the beating, so he quickly ran away.

So the master and apprentice began a chase. However, Uncle Nine was the master after all, and his leg skills were far superior to Wen Cai's. He quickly caught up with Wen Cai and beat him with the stick again and again.

“Ouch, ouch!”

Uncle Nine struck with great force, neither injuring Wen Cai nor breaking his bones, but causing him considerable pain.

Wencai dared not resist and could only passively endure the beating, howling in the courtyard, which attracted Qiusheng and the newly awakened Simu Daoist.

"Uncle-Master, that's enough, stop hitting Senior Brother Wencai, let's eat quickly."

Seeing that everyone had arrived, Li Haotian quickly tried to persuade Uncle Jiu.

Uncle Nine didn't really want to beat Wencai to death; he was just furious at how useless Wencai was.

After being persuaded by Li Haotian, he angrily threw down the stick.

"Hey, Wencai, what have you done to make Master angry again?"

Qiu Sheng asked Wen Cai with a gloating expression.

"Oops, it's nothing, it's nothing."

Wen Cai endured the pain, his mouth agape as he gasped for breath.

He dared not speak the truth, for if his master heard him, he would probably beat him.

Master Simu stood aside, watching the master and disciple pair with amusement, like a lively clown.

It is only natural for a master to discipline his disciples, especially since his two disciples were indeed behaving inappropriately. They should be disciplined when necessary, so he did not intervene.
