This is how immortals are cultivated

And if one dies, two die.

In just half a month, including tonight, twelve spiritual secrets have died. This should have been the key to capturing the four counties.

Who is it?

Did those losers in the Provincial Supervisory Office already notice something, so they secretly clipped their wings?

Even the most hidden hidden pawn of the Holy Church, Master Cangnan, has been uncovered...

"no...."

"Time waits for no one. Although this plan deviates from Her Excellency the Saint, we have no choice but to launch it in advance and strike first."

"Let's start with Linge County."

Chapter 107 Visitors from the State Government

The next day, at three quarters past noon, the morning mist on the official road east of Linge County had not yet dissipated.

County Master Wei was already waiting here with the officials from the county government.

Zhang Jingsheng was standing next to Wei Xianzun, about half a body length behind him.

The reason why County Master Wei led all the people from the county government out of the city in such a large-scale manner was naturally to welcome the Inspector from the provincial government.

The Inspector is not only a spiritual secret, but also a legitimate official, of the sixth rank, two levels higher than the county lord, and a true superior.

"I wonder who the inspector will be this time."

Wei Xianzun muttered to himself, but Zhang Jingsheng behind him could hear his words.

There are twelve inspectors in Jingzhou, and two of them, Wei County Lords, are quite well connected. If those two come over, it will be easy to talk to them.

"It's a pity that Mr. Fang didn't come."

Yesterday, Wei Xianzun went to Fang's house to invite Fang Suichu to welcome his fellow Taoists together today, but was driven out.

I don’t know if this behavior will cause the inspector to feel resentful.

Although they are not from the same system after receiving the blood seal, they are still on the same front. We will meet each other sooner or later.

But Wei Xianzun thought about it and felt that it was normal. Mr. Fang was far from an ordinary spiritual master, so it was natural for him to have such arrogance.

Furthermore, the matter of the blood seal is ultimately for those with virtue. The Inspector can use his authority to make things difficult, but he cannot affect the overall situation.

Thinking of this, Wei Xianzun breathed a sigh of relief.

During these troubled times, he truly felt that only with a strong man in charge of Lin Pavilion could there be stability.

Just like the ruthless man who appeared half a month ago, the original Tianchan Temple was not sure if it could contain the situation. Thinking about it this way, the replacement of the blood scroll did not seem to be a bad thing.

The seal in his arms made a sound, and Wei Xianzun came back to his senses from his trance. He held his head high and chest puffed out, and his spirits lifted.

"coming."

Everyone looked up and saw two figures slowly appearing at the end of the official road.

Wait, two?

Looking closely, there were indeed two people walking side by side.

One of them was dressed in purple, looked middle-aged, with a face as red as charcoal, and was carried by a three-eyed red leopard.

The other one was dressed in white. He was an old man with an immortal look. He carried a peach wood sword on his back and rode a gray donkey.

The mounts of both of them are not ordinary creatures, but tamed spirits and monsters that they use for their own transportation.

Both the three-eyed red leopard and the gray donkey exuded a naturally fierce aura, clearly extremely powerful spirits among the spirit guides. Only Lingmi could tame such spirits.

“It turns out that this person is here…”

Wei Xianzun fixed his eyes on the man in front of him who was as red as charcoal.

He recognized the Inspector and called him 'Mr. Ronghuo'.

At the end of the year, he went to the provincial capital to report on his work and met this man several times during banquets. This Mr. Ronghuo was notorious for his eccentric temper, and with only a few exceptions, he was always sarcastic and mean to everyone.

Moreover, according to gossip, this person is also very narrow-minded.

It can be said that this Inspector is one of the spiritual secrets that Wei Xianzun least wants to deal with.

As for the other one, he looked somewhat familiar, but Wei Xianzun had never seen him before.

When the two people from the provincial capital came over here, Wei Xianzun also went to greet them with many subordinates.

Only when they arrived in front of Mr. Ronghuo did Wei Xianzun stop, and then bowed to him with many subordinates.

"Your humble servant greets the Inspector. The people of Linge County have been waiting for your arrival for a long time." County Master Wei said.

"I don't think so." The voice came from above Wei Xianzun's head.

Mr. Ronghuo did not get off his mount, but still sat upright on the three-eyed red leopard.

"Why didn't that Daoist Fellow Fang who appeared out of nowhere come to greet us? It seems he doesn't take the provincial government seriously..."

There was an undisguised tone of torture in his words. Even his mount, the red leopard monster, felt the intention of its master and strolled in front of Wei Xianzun. Wei Xianzun could even feel the stench and heat coming from the leopard's mouth.

However, compared to the heat he felt on the surface of his body, Wei Xianzun felt more panic in his heart.

This is not good. Mr. Ronghuo seems to be hostile to Mr. Fang.

"But it's true. This Daoist Fellow Fang is quite capable. Not only was he able to annihilate a demon, but he also eliminated Xuanshen and its Dao lineage. He's truly impressive and remarkable."

"Fellow Daoist Ronghuo, there is no need to do this."

An old but gentle voice came from the side.

"This Fellow Daoist Fang eliminated Fan He and eliminated a threat to Jingzhou. Such courage is truly extraordinary. As for the Tianchan Temple incident, although Fellow Daoist Xuanshen feels sorry for it, I heard there was a reason for it. This Fellow Daoist Fang is truly a man of character."

As soon as the gentle and old voice sounded, it was like a spring breeze blowing on the face, completely dissolving the awkward and solemn atmosphere.

Wei Xianzun couldn't help but look up at the spiritual secret that came to his rescue.

When he looked up, the old Taoist in white was looking at him with a smile.

"Linge is good at weaving, and the weaving industry is becoming more prosperous under the leadership of Wei Xianzun. I have heard about it a long time ago."

"Forgive me for my dull eyesight. I don't know who you are, senior..." County Master Wei asked the strange spiritual master with some gratitude.

The old Taoist was about to speak when Mr. Ronghuo spoke first:

"You are indeed as dumb as a pig. You don't even know Taohua Taoist? Or maybe you are too low-key, so no one below has heard of you."

Ronghuo's attitude towards this old Taoist priest was much more relaxed, and it was obvious that the relationship between the two was very good.

"It's just an empty reputation. Ronghuo, you are making me very embarrassed..." Taohua Taoist also scolded with a smile.

When Wei Xianzun heard the conversation between the two, he immediately understood who this old Taoist was.

His face became solemn, and he bowed respectfully to the old Taoist:

"So it's you, Senior, in person. I'm truly sorry for my ignorance. Your reputation is not just empty..."

Mr. Taohua...a famous independent cultivator in Taizhou, he has many friends, even in other states.

His experience is also quite legendary. He was born as an ordinary person when he was young. He was framed and hunted, but he unexpectedly obtained a heritage. The heritage came from a lost Zhen'e Dao vein in Taizhou eight hundred years ago.

Mr. Taohua relied on this Zhen'e inheritance to practice all the way to the Lingmi Realm.

Thirty years ago, he even killed a vicious demon called Xie Fan that invaded the county town.

This person's strength is obviously extraordinary. The blood talismans and spiritual secrets in the surrounding counties cannot compare with his at all.

There is no doubt that he is a top cultivator in the first echelon of strength in the Taizhou Lingmi Realm.

But how could this person come here with Mr. Ronghuo? Chapter 108: The Beggar from Out of State

Wei Xianzun's doubts were clearly revealed in his words. Ronghuo saw what he was thinking and snorted coldly:

"Your Linge County is quite lucky..."

"I've been sitting still for a while and want to move on. I want to pass on my skills, but I don't want to stay in the state capital and take up the resources of other fellow practitioners."

The provincial capital naturally also has quotas for blood talismans. As the essence of the entire province, it can supply multiple spiritual secrets, and each spiritual secret can even receive more resources.

But even so, the cake in the state capital is fixed.

When one person advances, one person retreats.

Seeing Ronghuo say this, Mr. Taohua stroked his goatee and nodded:

"I have reached the end of my rope in the Spiritual Secret Realm, and it's time to consider my next steps. But before that, I don't want the Flower God Sect, my descendant, to disappear from this world again."

"It just so happens that Fellow Daoist Xuan Shen has passed away, leaving his position vacant. When the state government heard the news, they were moved. I'm sorry to have laughed at you all."

"No, no, it's really a great honor for this county that you, an old senior, can come to our Lin Pavilion."

Wei Xianzun showed a conflicted look on his face, but still treated him with a warm smile.

Zhang Jingsheng, who was standing behind Wei Xianzun, couldn't help but feel anxious when he heard these words.

Mr. Taohua has made it clear that his purpose of coming to Linge County is to compete for the blood certificate here.

Mr. Taohua is quite capable and has a wide network of contacts in the provincial capital. The Inspector who witnessed the replacement of the Blood Seal also has a very good relationship with him.

Mr. Fang's blood talisman, which he had been almost certain to obtain, was now in jeopardy again because of this person's intervention.

Zhang Jingsheng could even feel the wavering of his boss's thoughts.

What Wei Xianzun needs is a strong man to take charge. Anyone can be it as long as he is powerful and abides by the law.

Wei Xianzun could sway, but he couldn't.

But there was no point in being anxious. When it came to a fight at this level, he was completely useless.

Ultimately, the final result will only be revealed through actual action.

But the thought of actually having sex made Zhang Jingsheng even more irritated and depressed.

It's not that he was worried that Mr. Fang would lose, but because... he now realized that Mr. Fang had some weak points, that is, he was not very gentle when he attacked.

**It would be fine if they were just targeting strange ghosts and gods, but they would just go straight to the fellow practitioners and use heavy hands.

Even the Blood Sutra Spirit Vein Master Cangnan from the neighboring county was severely injured and nearly killed.

If a fight really breaks out, I'm afraid there will be no room for maneuver.

By then, the situation will be extremely difficult to resolve.

Wei Xianzun naturally didn't know about Zhang Jingsheng's worries. If his information was synchronized with Zhang Jingsheng's, he would surely be frightened and break out in a cold sweat at this moment.

At this moment, he just said to the two spiritual secret practitioners from the state capital with a flattering smile:

"I have prepared a small banquet in the city. Please move in."

Time passed quickly and it was noon.

The best restaurant in Linge County had already been booked out. In the luxurious private rooms, there were no other outsiders except for a few county officials and two spiritual secretaries who were distinguished guests.

Wei Xianzun sat next to the two spiritual secretaries, but he kept raising his hands to wipe the cold sweat from his temples.

The temperature now is not high, even a little low. Even though it is very warm in the box, it is not hot enough to make people sweat.

The reason why Wei Xianzun was sweating profusely was because the atmosphere in the box was becoming increasingly dull and solemn.

The inspector Shangguan, Mr. Ronghuo, who was standing beside him, had a face so gloomy that it looked like water was about to drip out of it.

Although Mr. Fang did not agree to go out of the city to greet the two colleagues, he did accept the lunch invitation. Now that the agreed time is approaching and the banquet has been prepared, Mr. Fang is still nowhere to be found. This makes Ronghuo, who was already unhappy, even more unhappy.

"I've sent someone to invite Mr. Fang. He should be here soon."

While wiping his sweat, Wei Xianzun spoke, trying to comfort Mr. Ronghuo beside him.

But he didn't expect that his words made Ronghuo slam his hand on the table.

The spiritual inspiration of the secret level overflowed, and suddenly it seemed as if an invisible object was overflowing in this restaurant.

The maid closest to the box was outside the door preparing to serve tea and water. An invisible fire was burning on her shoulder, but the maid herself was unaware of it. She just felt a nameless fire suddenly burning in her heart, making her feel extremely angry.

The maid thought of her monthly allowance, which the steward of the restaurant had deducted on some random pretext. The maid, who had originally accepted it submissively, trembled all over when she thought of it. She wanted to go to the steward immediately to vent her anger and chop him into pieces.

There are also colleagues who you have always been at odds with and gossip about you behind your back. They deserve to be chopped into pieces and fed to the dogs.

The maid's body began to tremble. She was about to go in, but turned around and left. Driven by the fire of resentment in her heart, she did what she wanted to do, burning her heart and body with that anger until she was burned out.
