Weird Cultivation: I am the Yellow-skinned Taoist Master

The flow of time in the underworld is different from that in the human world.

One day on earth is equivalent to one year in the underworld.

Chen Huangpi spent very little time in the Yin Earth of the Underworld; most of his time was wasted behind the Bronze Gate.

Therefore, when he returned to the Wang family in the capital.

It was just getting dark.

"Wang Mingdao, I'm hungry."

This was the first thing Chen Huangpi said after he returned.

He was really hungry.

In the study room.

Wang Mingdao specially asked his servants to prepare a hot meal.

Chen Huangpi ate very happily, and even the brass oil lamp had oil to drink.

However, for these two things, eating and drinking are really just a habit.

The oil in a brass oil lamp will replenish itself.

If I don't eat dried tangerine peel for three meals, I get so hungry I feel anxious.

Seeing this, Wang Mingdao, who was standing to the side, couldn't help but shake his head inwardly.

To be honest, he didn't understand at all.

Why is Chen Huangpi so powerful, yet he acts like an ordinary person, needing to eat and sleep?

You should know that even Foundation Establishment cultivators don't have this kind of need.

The weirdest thing is.

The dried tangerine peel looked quite normal this morning.

Why do you have such a strong aura of menace when you come back at night?

Most importantly, why hold your head with one hand while eating?

He noticed that Wang Mingdao was staring at his head.

Chen Huangpi finished his meal in a few bites, casually wiped his mouth with his sleeve, and said, "It's nothing. My head was just chopped off by my uncle with a sword. I'll go find Old Man Huang tomorrow to help me get it back."

It would have been better if he hadn't said anything, because once he did, Wang Mingdao was completely stunned.

"Chen Huangpi, did your uncle cut off your head with a sword?"

"Yes, I'm still using my master's sword."

"Fortunately, my master's sword recognized me and stopped at the last minute, otherwise I would have come back with my head on my hands. Thinking about it, it's quite strange."

What a strange thing...

It's already gotten so strange it couldn't be stranger.

Wang Mingdao asked hesitantly, "Since you call him 'Uncle,' he must be family. Why would he treat you like this?"

"Because he hates me!"

Chen Huangpi said unhappily, "He didn't like me before I was born. He thought I was a good-for-nothing. Later I found out that I wasted a lot of resources and didn't get born, so I reluctantly forgave him."

"You can forgive this?"

Wang Mingdao couldn't stand it anymore: "If it were me, being called a piece of trash and having my head chopped off, even if I didn't fall down, I would definitely retaliate with a sword!"

"I think so."

Chen Huangpi blinked and said, "But that was after I inherited the throne."

Upon hearing this, Wang Mingdao was filled with doubt.

The throne?

Isn't Chen Huangpi just an evil emperor?

"Is your uncle also an evil spirit?"

"probably?"

It's actually a bit hard to say about the quality of dried tangerine peel.

My master once said that although my uncle Chen Huang's strength was not as great as his, it was still close to the Dao.

He is very powerful, and also very skillful and decisive.

However, after the cataclysmic changes in the world, with the disappearance of spiritual energy, strange things began to grow on the bodies of the ancient cultivators. Those with strong strength could withstand it for a while, but those with weak strength would instantly turn into evil beings.

Therefore, Emperor Chen exhausted his manpower and resources to wage war against the Immortal Realm to seize resources and seal the Great Qian Immortal Dynasty.

Then look at those Taoists from the Jietian Sect.

There must be spiritual energy in the Great Qian Immortal Dynasty.

However, the King of the Underworld is almost a Taoist, and he seems to have become an evil spirit. There is no such thing as spiritual energy in the underworld. Can Uncle Chen Huang avoid this?
It should be noted that the Great Qian Immortal Dynasty also experienced strange occurrences in its past.

"Stop talking about Emperor Chen."

The brass oil lamp said calmly, "Although I have never seen him, I think he must be close to turning evil, otherwise, how could he bear to lay a hand on Chen Huangpi, since he and the abbot are brothers?"

At this point, the brass oil lamp glanced at Wang Ming and said, "Nephew, let me tell you something. Just listen to what Chen Huangpi and I said, but don't keep it to yourself."

"Why?"

"Because some powerful beings will hear it."

"There are such terrible things?"

Wang Mingdao truly broadened his horizons this time. Before meeting Chen Huangpi, everything he had come into contact with was based on popularity cultivation and his father, Wang Taiyu.

Now he hangs out with Chen Huangpi.

Putting aside everything else, my horizons have certainly broadened considerably.

"Hey!"

The brass oil lamp chuckled and said, "If you ever have the chance to go to the Ten Thousand Mountains, remember to call out to the abbot in your heart, saying that we are all your uncles. Maybe the abbot will see that you are a promising young man and give you some opportunities."

"Then forget it."

Wang Mingdao shook his head: "The Ten Thousand Mountains are too terrifying, and they're all closed off. I guess I'll never have the chance to go in in my lifetime."

At this point, he stood up.

"I am entangled in worldly affairs and have no freedom."

Wang Mingdao said to Chen Huangpi with envy, "Now that I'm in charge of the government office, there are all sorts of petty and despicable things happening around me. I have to take action against the powerful families, which means I have to crawl into this cesspool. It's giving me a terrible headache."

"What's so troublesome about this?"

Chen Huangpi said dismissively, "You're an official now, so you can be fair in your rewards and punishments."

"makes sense."

Wang Mingdao smiled, but that wasn't what he really thought.

Upright officials can hardly break housework.

Moreover, he will only be in charge of the government office for one day today.

The new broom sweeps clean, but before he can even get started, he finds himself facing immense difficulties. Wang Taiyu decides to target the powerful clans.

As a son, all I can do is stand in front and hold the line.

Moreover, Wang Mingdao had a feeling that his father and Uncle Yang had been acting mysteriously these past few days, and he didn't know what they were up to. He felt that they were about to do something big.

……

Late at night.

In another study of the Wang family.

Wang Taiyu sat at his desk, the oil lamp in front of him casting a long shadow.

The shadowy figure stood to one side.

The two were discussing something.

"The change in swordsmanship is true."

"The Liu family is all bark and no bite."

"Those seven prominent families are also a good choice."

There are too many prominent families in the capital.

Or rather, there are powerful families everywhere in the world.

Wang Taiyu's initial plan was to investigate these aristocratic families from childhood to adulthood, and then, with the help of the Great Kang Emperor, bring them down to earth one by one.

But the more they find out these days...

The more he sat there, the more restless he became.

The power and connections of these powerful families were far more terrifying than he had imagined.

If we start with gentle methods...

It will be extinguished in an instant.

"If you're all nice to each other, nothing will get done."

Wang Taiyu said in a low voice, "I found out that the five great families seem to be testing His Majesty's bottom line as well. It should be the Liu family that made the first move."

"Then let's go with the Liu family."

The shadowy figure said wickedly, “I’ve contacted quite a few of the old acquaintances back then, but what they were thinking was that after the deed was done, they would leech off the Liu family and eventually rise to power.”

"Look, look."

Wang Taiyu said in a hoarse voice, "He who does not plan for one's own time is not fit to plan for the world. And people are selfish; most of them think about how their legacy will last for thousands of years and be passed down from generation to generation."

"To want to get things done but instead try to use others against you, jumping from one quagmire into another, is simply a huge joke."

"It really is a joke."

The shadow said in a sinister tone, "So, Taiyu, we both know in our hearts that even if we defeat these powerful families, old stories from the previous dynasty will still happen."

"Where does the claim of a previous dynasty come from?"

Wang Taiyu turned his face away and said to himself, "Now we are in the Great Kang Dynasty. As long as there are more and more like-minded people and the people live in peace and prosperity, won't our ideals be realized?"

"If there were no powerful families in the world, then naturally..."

At this point, Wang Taiyu couldn't continue.

He sighed helplessly, got up and walked to the windowsill, gazing at the red moon in the sky.

"Your Majesty is the greatest family in the world."

The shadowy figure said softly, "He is the emperor, different from us mortals. But can the world belong to just one person? Taiyu, you have ideals and ambitions, and you are willing to do things."

"But some things, if you don't figure them out, you'll just keep repeating the same mistakes."

"I know what you're thinking, but things always have to be done step by step."

After Wang Taiyu finished speaking, he turned to look at a bronze mirror placed in the study.

He looked at himself in the bronze mirror.

I don't know when it happened, but his temples have turned gray, and he looks much older.

But fire burned in his eyes.

That's not the fire of ambition.

Rather, it was anger.

Wang Taiyu wasn't particularly handsome, after all, he came from a peasant background. Once he took off his clothes, he looked no different from an old farmer in the fields.

"I know my own abilities."

"I also know my own abilities."

"My body is not strong enough to travel ten thousand miles, and my mind is not strong enough to swallow the sun and moon."

"When I was young, all I wanted was a small plot of land to cultivate. If my parents hadn't sent me to school and I hadn't been valued by my teacher, who taught me the methods of cultivation, I would have been a withered skeleton in the fields by now."

At this point, Wang Taiyu said with a sense of loss, "When I was young, I read a sentence in a book: 'The old country is left with only regret, and the old king's tears leave no trace.' At the time, I thought it was wonderful."

"With just one sentence, an image of a shattered land and a grieving ruler popped into my mind."

"But when I look back on it in my old age, I just find it laughable."

"If everyone has food to eat, land to cultivate, books to read, and work to do, how can the country perish and the race be wiped out?"

"They can't even be human, so they've turned their backs on morality."

……

And the other side.

Chen Huangpi was also looking out the window at the red moon in the sky.

"Huang Er, do you think if I stood on the Yin Earth and circled the sun and moon that day, would the red moon consider me one of its own kind?"

"Probably, after all, that's how that idiot Samsara Palace is."

The brass oil lamp, when lit, brought a smile to the face of the Samsara Palace.

Everyone is a treasure.

It absolutely loves seeing this happen.

"In the whole world, there is no magic weapon more humane than mine, Huang Er."

The brass oil lamp felt a secret sense of pride and superiority.

And this time.

The vengeful spirit poked its head out of the Book of Souls.

“Master, we must throw that statue into the underworld.”

"And when will you take your share of the souls of those gods?"

“Right now!!!”

Chen Huangpi laughed and said, "Today I'm activating my Yellow Spring Yin Soil, tomorrow I'll go find that evil Taoist, oh no, I mean Old Man Huang. He's mastered the fake and made it real, acquiring so many treasures. I need to go check it out and, while I'm at it, settle my head issue." (End of Chapter)
