This is how immortals are cultivated

For example, the ring on his hand is a storage device.

But the ring is obviously not as advanced as this treasure bag.

"Here, you..."

Fang Suichu snatched the brocade bag from Master Falian's hand.

It was also after he got the treasure bag that the system adventure was accurately triggered.

[The Taoist Master Fa Lian offered a mustard seed bag borrowed from his elder master.]

Fang Suichu could feel the coolness of the mustard seed bag in his hand, as if it were woven from the hair of some kind of ghost. More importantly, after he took possession of it, he established a connection with it, able to open it with a thought.

It was after Tongzi helped to convert the equipment that Taoist Fa Lian shook his body, and he saw the bag open directly.

Although it is now in a sealed state and cannot sense the status of this pseudo-real artifact mustard bag, he understands that since the evil demon has opened the bag, he has obtained the ownership of this treasure bag.

What's happening here?

Some kind of treasure refining method?

The Daoist sects that are proficient in treasure refining do have the ability to forcibly seize other people's spiritual weapons.

However, Fa Lian could not imagine what kind of magical power could allow Ling Mijing to erase the mark left by Zhen'e Zhenren in the blink of an eye.

This has completely touched upon his blind spot in his knowledge of Fa Lian.

Until now he still didn't understand where this evil demon came from.

This evil demon is probably no less powerful than the lord who is about to come to Jingzhou.

Hanging the mustard seed bag around his waist, Fang Suichu looked at the Taoist Fa Lian with a satisfied look on his face and asked:

"Where are the people from Huaqicheng County Office?"

"Don't tell me you've already killed them all."

This time, Taoist Fa Lian was smarter and did not touch upon the secrets of the Holy Religion. He answered directly and straightforwardly:

"The three chief officials of Huaqi County, the County Master, the County Magistrate, and the County Lieutenant, have made great contributions in surrendering the city, so I have sent these three people to serve the Holy Mother."

"speak English."

"When the altar of the shrine was completed, sacrifices were needed. So these three lackeys of the Wu court were sacrificed."

As he spoke, Taoist Fa Lian secretly observed the expression of the evil demon.

I thought that this evil demon could not be from the Wu court.

Speaking of the lackeys of the Wu court, Taoist Fa Lian couldn't help but think of the information that Senior Brother Taohua had previously sent back about him lurking in the provincial capital.

An "envoy" from the capital came to Jingzhou.

Senior Brother Wujiu had previously speculated that this messenger should be the one in Linge City.

Shouldn't...

Thinking about Senior Brother Wujiu’s previous plan for Linge County, he ended up with bad news.

Considering the information about the person in Linge County that Senior Brother Wujiu had shared earlier, Taoist Falian had already guessed Fang Suichu's identity.

After hearing what Taoist Fa Lian said, Fang Suichu's expression didn't change much.

"You've already killed the chief administrator of this city. What about the remaining officials?"

"Most of the clerks' words have already been used...but there's still one left!"

Seeing that Fang Suichu's face was getting uglier and uglier, Taoist Fa Lian hurriedly spoke.

"There is another chief clerk. Seeing that he has good talent, I wanted to refine him into the fourth Golden Lotus Spirit General. Now I have him imprisoned in the prison behind the spirit temple."

After getting the answer he wanted from Taoist Fa Lian, Fang Suichu threw it directly into the mustard seed bag he had just obtained.

Then he went to the back of the temple.

After judging the popularity, he found the prison that Taoist Fa Lian mentioned, knocked it down with one punch, and went straight into it.

Chapter 145 Preaching

The prison of the White Lotus Demon Cult in Huaqi City was actually the county prison before the laws of Jingzhou in the Wu Kingdom were broken.

It is dark and damp here, filled with a deep smell of death. Even insects and rodents dare not linger here.

The laws have changed in recent months, and prisons like this should be overcrowded, but in reality, this is not the case.

Compared to the purpose of detention, the function of prison is actually more of temporary storage.

Refining Taoist weapons requires a large amount of materials, and humans, as the most intelligent creatures on earth, are still the best and most easily obtained materials.

In this case, how could there be so many people in the prison?

There is actually only one person imprisoned in the prison today.

He was in the deepest and largest cell in the prison, his body hung on a black wooden stake, and the sharp spikes on the stake pierced his limbs and kept him hanging.

There were dried black blood scabs on the ground directly below the places where his hands and feet were pierced. His head was drooping and he looked like he was dead, but in fact he was still breathing and was in a dying state.

He was about seventeen years old, tall, not big, but lean.

His name is Wei Wei, and he is the chief clerk of Huaqi County Government.

Unlike officials who had to pass exams to become officials, clerks had the custom of inheriting their father's business. His father died in the hands of a monster while on duty, which was considered a merit, so he was promoted from a minor clerk to a chief clerk not long ago.

However, less than half a year after he took office as the chief clerk, Jingzhou underwent a major change. The laws and regulations were broken at that time, and several chief officials in Huaqi City were seriously affected and had no interest in state affairs.

At that time, there was chaos in Huaqi City, but it was he who organized the yamen officials to restore order.

Afterwards, the White Lotus demon brought a large number of nearby demons to threaten Huaqi City, and the local blood-stampeded spiritual master fled directly.

Under this circumstance, the Magistrate of Huaqi County insisted on surrendering the city and was willing to put all the people in the city on the chopping block in exchange for a chance of survival. At that time, he strongly advised against surrendering the city in this way, but how could a mere official influence his superiors?

Then, the entire county government staff was controlled and became accomplices of the evildoer, but afterward they were all treated as consumables.

He was imprisoned before the county lord presented the city.

Originally, he was expected to be the first to die, but he never expected that things are unpredictable. After the White Lotus Demon built the altar, he immediately got rid of him, and instead, he, who was unwilling to belong, was left until the end.

I seemed to have heard some noise coming from that evil temple outside the prison just now?

What kind of evil magic is the White Lotus Cult practicing again?

Although his body was extremely weak, Wei Wei still tried hard to keep his mind clear.

Just as he was thinking this, he heard another loud noise and the entire prison shook, as if the prison itself had suffered some kind of huge impact.

Wei Wei raised his head with great effort.

I want to look in the direction where the sound comes from.

Because he was too weak, his five senses were somewhat weakened, but he could still hear the footsteps in the silent prison.

The prison was extremely dark, with all the windows sealed and no light source.

However, in his blurry vision, he still saw colors.

Like two stars floating in the darkness.

But it is the color of red gold, just like gold and red flames melted together in a furnace.

Although the red-gold color was calm, Wei Wei seemed to see lava filled with violent power that could erupt at any time and bring absolute destruction.

Although they were just looking at each other, Wei Wei felt as if his eyes were burning. Not only his eyes, but also his body. He felt as if he was in a place extremely close to the sun, and his whole body seemed to be scorched.

But the big red sun was getting closer and closer to him.

There was another loud crash, and the prison door made of fine iron was completely twisted by an invisible force and thrown aside. Then the wall behind him was broken through, and the prison room half-built underground was shattered. The rubble fell, and the sunlight from outside shone into the cell.

Wei Wei still gritted his teeth and looked at the person who came.

He didn't know what kind of god or demon it was, but he could clearly feel the pressure that was above him.

But no matter how hard he was pressed, even if his soul was about to be ignited, Wei Wei still chose not to look away, but to grit his teeth and stare straight ahead.

Finally, under the sunlight shining overhead, he could clearly see the person coming.

A strange young man who looked about the same age as me.

Wei Wei remained silent, waiting for the other party's move.

After being trapped here for so long, someone suddenly came to find me, with such a large force. I guess my fate has already been determined.

And while Wei Wei was waiting silently, he heard the voice first:

"Yes, yes. I like the look in your eyes. Even those cunning cultivators who claim to have a firm heart for the Tao, when it comes to willpower alone, few can compare to yours."

“I didn’t expect to get such a pleasant surprise here.”

Undisguised praise.

Then, without Wei Wei being able to see or react, the man's hand rested on his shoulder.

In just a moment, the wooden stake that was holding him turned into powder, literally turned into powder.

Without support, he was about to fall to the ground.

But the hand pressing on his shoulder seemed to have some kind of suction force, holding him up.

During this action, the man's voice sounded again:

"Not bad, not bad... Were you a martial artist before? Putting aside other things, considering your ordinary martial arts skills, your external muscles and bones are well-honed. It's obvious that you've put in a lot of effort."

Hearing the other party's words, Wei Wei lowered his head.

He had indeed practiced martial arts. To be honest, he had been fascinated by martial arts since he was very young and really enjoyed the feeling of getting stronger through training.

However, as the body grows and takes shape, at a certain stage, the improvement becomes very small.

There is a limit to becoming stronger in martial arts.

He could not see the future of martial arts.

Even if one has mastered martial arts to a high level, any monster in the wilderness can take his life.

This may be the common despair of warriors in this world.

"Well, the muscles and bones are indeed good. At least there won't be any obstacles all the way to the Bone Tempering Realm."

The young man's voice sounded again.

The other person touched him as if he was examining his body.

Then Wei Wei opened his mouth.

This action was not intentional on his part, but his mouth opened without him thinking.

Then, something was thrown into his mouth, went down his throat, and reached his stomach.

Wei Wei also felt a burning sensation coming from his stomach.

Before Wei Wei could react, his body started breathing on its own again.

His body now seemed to no longer belong to him, but like a puppet of the young man in front of him, doing things he didn't want to do.

He couldn't help but feel panicked.

But soon, the panic disappeared, replaced by intoxication.

He felt a kind of "qi" in his body. This qi was not from outside, but was born in his body with his breathing and belonged to him.

Wei Wei could even sense the process of this energy's generation. It wasn't a creation of something out of nothing, created by the cunning Dao through the use of strange objects or the cultivation of cunning Dao spirits, but rather it was born from the body's own organs and systems. It wasn't a crude manifestation out of thin air, but rather a latent system developed within the body's systems.

This system is so orderly, perfect, and has a kind of...beauty.

Wei Wei immediately thought of martial arts, because the first half of this system was so similar to the martial arts he practiced, but when the system reached the second half, which involved the transportation of qi and blood, and deeper breathing and induction of qi, he had never heard of it before.

However, for him, it was like seeing the dead end of martial arts in this world, and then a big hole was drilled in the wall that blocked the dead end.

A completely new road, one he could not imagine, appeared before him.

And he seemed to have returned to the scene when he was a child learning martial arts and starting to practice Qi.

This is a new starting point, but he can't see the world that exists after this point... clearly.

Likewise, he couldn't see the end.

Wei Wei felt the Qi in his body circulating through an exquisite system. He put aside all distracting thoughts just to remember the route of the Qi.
