The Legend of Tokyo Taoist

Chapter 636 Alliance Meeting (4)

After finishing the information about the Hope Cult, Ashiya Yoshisuke did not dismiss the meeting, but continued: "Okay, let's stop discussing the enemy. Next, let's start discussing the alliance... that is, to improve your strength and prepare for the next battle."

Many exorcists showed anticipation on their faces. Terao Yu murmured excitedly, "Is it finally coming?"

Qian Xiaoyi sat aside and nodded. An alliance cannot just have common enemies and crises, as that would not make its ties strong. It must also have common interests to unite everyone.

Everyone in the room began to buzz with discussion.

"Last time I learned the method to summon Acala, what is it this time?"

"I wonder what kind of treasure Ashiya-sama will bring out... Could it be a shikigami? I'm really looking forward to it."

"You mean Yin-Yang magic? That requires a lot of knowledge. It's impossible to learn it in a short time, right?"

"It could also be some other spell. Whatever it is, as long as it can improve our strength, that's fine."

As mentioned before, many exorcists lack strength, not because they are useless, but because the inheritance they received is not complete. Many exorcists practice with the half-understood secret manuals passed down from their families, and it is easy for them to go astray and become biased.

Just like King Kong, because his ancestors were warrior monks and the inheritance he received was very simple, he could only continue on the path of body refining. Although his combat power was indeed good, he had no resistance to some types of enemies.

This type of exorcist is not uncommon in the industry.

Only exorcist families with deep roots like the Ashiya family or the Hoshiba family would have a more systematic inheritance that could take into account various aspects.

Some common knowledge and cultivation methods are rare secrets for psychics from small families.

After everyone had been discussing excitedly for a while, Ashiya Yoshisuke put down his hand and said, "I am very pleased to see that everyone is so enthusiastic, but it is different from what everyone thinks. This time it is neither a treasure nor a certain technique, but something more precious."

"More precious..." The exorcists opened their eyes wide and leaned forward, all of them impatient.

Ashiya Yoshisuke smiled and said, "Yes, Teacher."

The exorcists started discussing again.

"Teacher? Does that mean Master Ashiya wants to accept us as his disciples?"

"Are you kidding? If that's the case, I will definitely join the Ashiya family."

"Onmyoji? Sounds pretty cool..."

"Tsk... Yin-Yang Jutsu and I are not compatible." Ashiya Yoshisuke said: "Actually... it's not a serious matter like taking a disciple. If you must say it, it's just special training."

Everyone suddenly realized, but they were not unable to accept it. After all, not everyone could enjoy the special training of the great Onmyoji Ashiya Yoshisuke.

"One more thing..." Ashiya Jisuke said, "Because I am old, my energy is limited. In addition, not everyone is suitable to learn the magic of the Ashiya family. Therefore, in addition to me, I have found other teachers for you. You can choose the development direction you want."

"Other teachers?" an exorcist asked. "Who else besides you?"

Ashiya Yoshisuke began to introduce them: "They are all top experts in their respective fields. Let me introduce them one by one..."

"First, of course, it's me. I am the heir of the Ashiya family - Ashiya Yoshisuke. I am good at Yin-Yang magic. People with strong learning ability are suitable to come here... I mean people with strong learning ability in books. In other words, if you choose to follow me for special training, then what awaits you is a scene like a book hell. You must memorize and learn a huge amount of knowledge in a short period of time. If you don't have talent in this area, then it's useless for you to come here. I won't favor anyone."

After listening to Ashiya Yoshisuke's harsh words, some exorcists lost their light in their eyes. These people had poor grades in school, otherwise they would not have chosen to inherit the family business instead of continuing their studies. Fortunately, there should be other options.

Ashiya remembered looking at Hoshiba Ryou and said, "Then, everyone can guess, the current head of the Hoshiba family - Hoshiba Ryou, Ryou-kun, please introduce yourself so that everyone can understand the content of your special training."

Hoshiba Rang shrugged and said, "As for me, everyone knows that it's nothing more than some knowledge about sealing and making magic tools. Just like Mr. Ashiya, these techniques cannot be learned in a short period of time... But fortunately, there are still many cursed objects accumulated in my warehouse. Those things are very dangerous, so they were sealed up by my grandfather. However... If there is a suitable candidate, I can also take them out for everyone to use. After all, this is an emergency."

The exorcists cheered quietly. What was this? Rounding it off was like giving away a divine weapon for free!

"Well, don't be too happy too soon." Xingchang Rang scratched his head and said, "The quantity of those things is limited, and as I said, they are very dangerous, so I will only select the most suitable people from those who have registered, which means that the competition will be fierce. Similarly, I will focus on those who are talented, and I will not care about others, so it is likely that most people will just waste their time here. You decide for yourselves."

Xingchangrang's words poured cold water on everyone, but they soon cheered up. After all, no one wanted to admit that they were the kind of person who had no talent. What if they were chosen? People always have to have hope, right?

Seeing that Hoshiba had finished speaking, Ashiya Yoshisuke said, "Next, everyone knows Master Ruriin Hiroaki of the Meiko-ryu."

Everyone's eyes were focused on an inconspicuous place in the corner. The monk, who was still wearing a bamboo hat to hide his expression, was sitting there majestically, moving the Buddhist beads in his hands, and seemed to be chanting scriptures silently.

"..." At the moment when everyone's eyes were focused on Liuliyuan Hongming, Liuliyuan Hongming's body stiffened, but no one noticed.

"Master Liuliyuan is really calm and hardworking." An exorcist nodded: "He is still practicing at this time. I think I know his style."

"Master Liuliyuan has always been so aloof."

If Liuliyuan Lily was present, she would definitely ruthlessly break the filter that everyone has for her father, waving her hands and complaining: "No, he is just an ordinary social phobia, not aloof at all."
