From a Zhengyi Taoist Child to a Master of All Laws

Chapter 27: King of Ginseng
"Impossible!" Yang Xinjiang denied it outright.

"I saw him lying in the hospital last night, looking like a dead man."

"Moreover, the master's magical power is unparalleled. How can a mortal save someone from the master's hands?"

In Yang Xinjiang's eyes, the secret method of making people unconscious from a distance was incredible and was undoubtedly a divine method.

Xue Qing snorted coldly and shook the wine glass in his hand: "I'm afraid that the one who saved him is not an ordinary person."

"What does this mean, Master?"

"Someone saw him again at Baiyun Temple today, and he was accompanied by your cousin, Yang Yingying."

Xue Qing glanced at Yang Xinjiang, revealing his white teeth, and his cold eyes made him shudder.

That look was not like the look of a normal human being. Instead, it was like the contempt and indifference of a higher-level life form towards a lower-level life form.

Yang Xinjiang shuddered and trembled with fear, and the domineering aura he had just displayed disappeared without a trace.

"Master... I understand, but it doesn't make sense?"

"However, today I heard from my father that bitch Yang Yingying brought a little Taoist priest to see my grandmother. Could it be that the little Taoist priest was behind this?"

"Taoist priest?" Xue Qing frowned.

"That Taoist priest doesn't have any tricks. I just talked to my dad on the phone and he said he was just a little charlatan. My grandmother is still lying in bed."

Xue Qing drank the wine in the glass in one gulp, his face thoughtful.

"Did you bring the things I asked you to bring?"

"I brought it. This time I specially asked someone to go to the northeast to buy a hundred-year-old ginseng for you. It can prolong life, nourish yin and replenish blood. It is a very precious treasure."

After saying that, Yang Xinjiang took out a gorgeously wrapped brocade box from his backpack as if presenting a treasure.

"Unfortunately, I heard that someone dug up a glowing Polygonum multiflorum in Laojun Mountain. I didn't have enough money, so it was bought by a mysterious buyer. Otherwise, I might have used it to honor the master."

"How come it's not enough? Didn't I already deal with that old guy?" Xue Qing looked displeased.

"Before my great-grandmother died, she still held a large number of shares in the company. My father was just an agent. The money from this ginseng root was the maximum amount that could be embezzled from the company without telling my father."

"waste!"

Xue Qing cursed angrily, took the gift box, checked the quality of the ginseng, and put it into his robe.

"Master, look at this ginseng. It has all the roots and feet, and already looks like a baby. This is the rare king of ginseng in the Northeast."

Xue Qing snorted coldly. Although Yang Xinjiang in front of him was like a pig and a dog in his eyes, his ability to purchase medicinal materials was very good.

"Then about the second half of the Nine-Turn Golden Body Technique you gave me last time..."

"Why are you in such a hurry? I will give it to you naturally." Xue Qing fumbled in his robe impatiently for a long time and took out a few crumpled and tattered pages of paper.

Yang Xinjiang took it and examined it as if it were a treasure, his face suddenly turned miserable: "Master, why are you only giving me two pages?"

"Your foundation is not deep, and your affinity with the Tao is not solid. Giving you more will actually harm you."

"But Master, I have read the dozen pages you gave me countless times, but I still haven't seen the flash of inspiration or the cleansing of the tendons and marrow you mentioned..."

"You are stupid, so why do you still want to rely on me?"

Xue Qing narrowed his eyes, and the strong sense of oppression made Yang Xinjiang dare not say anything.

"The latter part of the Nine-Turn Golden Body Technique..."

"Next time, find me three more herbs that are equivalent to this ginseng, and I will pass them on to you."

"Three!!" Yang Xinjiang's eyes showed despair. He had already taken a huge risk just for this one.

"What are you afraid of? That old woman won't be able to survive. Once she dies, you will naturally have money."

Xue Qing smiled grimly, and without caring about Yang Xinjiang's expression, he walked out of the tavern with the ginseng in his pocket.

Stroking the brocade box in his arms, Xue Qing walked back to the temple. He licked his bloodless lips, his eyes filled with unbearable hunger.

Every cell and every inch of his flesh and skin was longing for this ginseng king.

Xue Qing stood on the road, watching the passers-by of all kinds with indifference. As long as he wanted, a thought could make these bright and beautiful guys become like dead dogs.

Xue Qing recalled the first time he performed the secret technique in front of Yang Xinjiang. The arrogant and domineering young master of the Yang family knelt in front of him like a dead dog and worshipped him as his master.

There's nothing he can do. Who says he is a god, a god who has the power of life and death over mortals?

Xue Qing stroked his stubble, his eyes thoughtful, "However, it's a little strange that Wang Xin woke up. I'm afraid I can't stay in Yuqing Temple any longer."

"I'll make a final profit, and next time I get the herbs, I'll run away!"

Having made up his mind, Xue Qing crossed the road, lowered his head and continued walking towards the Taoist temple.

When he arrived at a secluded path outside Yuqing Temple, surrounded by mottled bamboo shadows and silence, he suddenly stopped.

It was very quiet, very quiet. The moonlight was cool and the whole forest was as bright as day.

"..."

Xue Qing stopped to think for a moment, then turned around and left without looking back to avoid any further complications.

"Fellow Taoist, please stay!"

Li Yang looked helpless. He had been thinking about this pretentious posture for a long time. Why didn't the other side cooperate?
Xue Qing turned his head and looked speechlessly at the young boy who was cosplaying some anime character, standing in the middle of the road in a strange posture.

"Little brother, we don't seem to know each other?"

"But I know you, the Taoist priest of Yuqing Temple."

"It's time to get off work now. If you want to burn incense, come to the Lingguan Temple tomorrow."

The feeling of hunger and thirst in his body was growing stronger and stronger. After Xue Qing finished speaking, he frowned and continued walking towards Yuqing Temple.

When the two were about to pass each other, Li Yang raised his arms to block Xue Qing's way:
"I'm not here to burn incense this time, but to ask you for something."

"What is that?" Xue Qing suppressed his anger, his eyes glowing green with hunger.

"That thing in your arms."

Li Yang looked shy and seemed a little embarrassed.

Xue Qing's heart was shocked: "You are looking for death!"

Xue Qing looked into his arms and saw a corner of the luxurious gift box containing ginseng exposed.

He thought that it was some thug who was looking for money and wanted to rob people, and he could no longer suppress his anger.

"You little brat, you came here to die. You can't blame me, your grandfather. Remember, there are some people in society that you can't afford to offend."

"Especially a... God like me."

Xue Qing moved away. The moonlight was bright, the leaves in the bamboo forest rustled, and a cold wind blew towards Li Yang.

Amid Xue Qing's distorted expression, Li Yang on the opposite side did not move at all, and even... straightened his hair that was messed up by the wind.

? !
Xue Qing didn't believe it. He tightly grasped an object in his right hand under the black robe, and cold wind blew through the bamboo forest again.

With every gust of cold wind that blew, Xue Qing's already limited flesh and blood was reduced a little.

A second later, Li Yang shook his body, and Xue Qing's eyes lit up.

Two seconds later, Li Yang seemed to be a little confused and staggered, and Xue Qing's face became even more fierce.

Three seconds later, Li Yang staggered even more, but he didn't fall down...

Ten seconds later, Li Yang was still stumbling...

Half a minute later, Xue Qing could no longer stand. His body was like a skeleton. He fell to the ground and shouted in disbelief, "Impossible, this is absolutely impossible!"

Seeing that he had almost squeezed the opponent, the still staggering Li Yang shook his head, stood up immediately, and walked slowly towards Xue Qing.

"Uncle, how come you're so fast? You don't last long at all."

He grabbed Xue Qing's body:
"So, you are so weak..."
