Becoming a Taoist Master by Walking on the Underworld

Chapter 104: Harvest, Tips (Two chapters in one, please subscribe)
Bon Voyage.

The group finally arrived at Qianjia Village before it got completely dark.

Shopkeeper Xu Zhisheng, who had been prepared, immediately called for help and started lighting the fire and cooking.

After eating and drinking, an hour had passed.

Chen Yushu was arranged to live in a villager's home. Although it was a little inconvenient, the conditions in the countryside were simple and he had nothing to complain about.

Fortunately, it's a private room with good privacy.

"It's finally over!"

Chen Yushu sat cross-legged at the head of the bed and couldn't help but let out a long sigh.

Xiaoyin was squatting in a corner of the room, fiddling with those stones, which were the Yin Bone Jade. This thing was something that could only be condensed by evil spirits and ghosts. Of course, the probability was extremely low, perhaps among dozens of them, only one could be condensed.

In addition to the one in the cave of resentful ghosts, Xiaoyin has four more in her hands. One can imagine how many evil ghosts had died at the hands of Sister Qiaoer before.

It is definitely not a small number.

“But it’s true.

Whether it is the Fu Yin Jue, the Seven Star Steps, or the Hua Sha Jue, these three "skills" can only increase the most experience points when facing real evil spirits in real battles."

Chen Yushu couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

For example, the Fu Yin Jue.

He remembered that when he went up the mountain, he was only at the minor success level. Although his experience points were not low, he still had nearly half the experience points to reach the major success level.

However, when he faced the evil ghost lady, he used the Fu Yin Jue and achieved great success.

It is precisely because of this that we were able to crush it in one fell swoop.

In addition to the Fu Yin Jue, the realms of the Seven Star Steps and the Hua Sha Jue were also directly improved.

Seven Star Steps: Mastery (169/200)

Evil-removing Technique: Mastery (152/200)

They are all close to completing their experience and reaching the next level, which is the level of minor success.

"Sure enough, there is a huge difference between practice and use.

Practice is just a mechanical way to gain experience, but if you really use the "art" to fight, you have to consider all aspects. Although the way of performing is the same, the experience gained is far better than when practicing. "

Chen Yushu sighed, and then began to practice these techniques in the room.

Seven Star Steps +1
Evil-removing Technique +1
Fu Yin Jue +1
……

Three techniques, practiced in turns.

Although the experience gained each time he performed it was limited, he did not mind it.

He enjoyed the feeling that he could improve as long as he practiced, not to mention that the speed was only relative.

Compared to others, his improvement speed is already very fast.

Chen Yushu did not stop until all the energy in his body was used up.

Then he took out a black bead.

Soul beads!

These were the two that he had obtained from the Ghost Cave during this trip.

“One soul bead can increase my incense power by more than thirty points.

Now that I have two in my hand, if I absorb all of them, I should be able to push my incense cultivation to the level of one incense stick, or even two incense sticks, right?"

Chen Yushu couldn't help but reveal a hint of excitement and anticipation on his face.

He knew that this soul bead was actually relatively rare.

After all, evil spirits are hard to find and, crucially, difficult to deal with.

Ordinary people, even warriors at the inner force realm, would find it difficult to deal with such beings, because they cannot see them and are inherently at a disadvantage.

As for the ghosts, even though Chen Yushu attacked one after another, except for the two evil ghosts, he used external forces.

The first time, Taoist Master Ma from the Three Incense Sticks Taoist Cult and the shopkeeper and others took action and continuously drained away the opponent's strength, which allowed him to use the talisman and achieve success in one fell swoop.

This time, he took advantage of the other party's attempt to gain his trust with "ghost talk", but he saw through it. Then he struck first, and with all the means he could muster and a lot of talismans consumed, he was able to capture the evil ghost.

It's really hard to say if you really fight it face to face.

Not to mention, not every evil ghost will have a soul bead left after being eliminated.

This can be seen from the fact that he only got two soul beads out of the four evil ghosts in the Ghost Cave.

Then, he looked at his attribute panel.

Immortal cultivation: One stick of incense (42/100)

“This kind of cultivation is indeed a bit weak.

After all, the higher the level of Taoism, the more powerful the same method will be.

For example, the power of the Fu Yin Jue is very different when he performs it when his Taoism is at a lower level and when he performs it now that his Taoism has reached the middle level of an incense stick.

Therefore, it is always a good idea to improve your own strength as much as possible."

Thinking of this, Chen Yushu did not hesitate at all and quickly entered into a state of meditation.

Then, with a thought, he connected his mental power to the soul bead in his hand and sucked it hard.

Countless spiritual particles were drawn out by him and were quickly absorbed and transformed by him.

The state of deep concentration at a high level allows him to absorb and transform spiritual particles at the same time, the more spiritual particles there are, the faster they will be absorbed.

Incense +1
Incense +1
……

He stopped only when he felt his mind was becoming a little agitated and he could hardly maintain his concentration.

Because he knew that this was because he had absorbed too many spiritual particles in a short period of time, so that his mind could not be controlled and was affected.

If one continues to absorb it forcibly, one may be shocked and affected, and thus be affected by the resentment, evil spirit, obsession... contained in these spiritual particles, causing one's temperament to change drastically.

The balance in between must be struck well.

Fortunately, Chen Yushu’s state of meditation is indeed extremely high.

Da Ding! Da Ding!
The obsession of ordinary evil spirits cannot affect him.

At least, when it absorbed the spiritual particles within the soul orb, he never felt any other emotions.

It was absorbed and assimilated in the blink of an eye, without causing the slightest ripple in his calm heart.

in this way.

After resting for a while, Chen Yushu entered into meditation again and began to formally practice the White Tiger Visualization Method.

White Tiger Visualization Method +5
Incense +1
……

While Chen Yushu and others were resting in Qianjia Village, there was a sudden bang on a small hill in the extremely dark place in the Ghost Cave, and then a hand stretched out.

Then in the next moment, it was the second hand.

This hand was extremely pale, except for the long fingernails which were jet black.

The two hands stretched out from the mound of earth, as if sensing something.

After a long time, with a bang, a very tall figure dressed in groom's clothes jumped out from the mound.

It stood there, as if searching for something, turning its body continuously, and then it jumped rapidly in the woods.

Suddenly, it stopped abruptly and stopped beside a shabby sedan chair, and a sharp whistle suddenly came out of its mouth.

As the howl sounded, all creatures within dozens of miles around were disturbed, and the entire forest suddenly fell into silence.

Even the birds flying in the sky did not dare to make a sound when they fled.

……

Early the next morning.

Chen Yushu woke up from his cultivation and looked at the attribute panel.

Immortal cultivation: One stick of incense (53/100)

Absorbing the soul beads increased his power by nine points, which was equivalent to practicing for one night. He also increased his power by two points.

The efficiency is really good.

Then, he got up and was about to go out. The auntie who lived next door had already gotten up and was boiling water and cooking. When she saw him, she hurriedly greeted him, "Little brother, you're up. Wait a minute. I've cooked porridge and steamed rice. Please have some later."

"You're too polite, Auntie. Shopkeeper Xu should have prepared breakfast. I can eat there later."

Chen Yushu waved his hand and said.

"You're welcome.

Our entire Qianjia Village almost entirely depends on your Liujia pharmacy for its survival.

The yam and other herbs in this dish are all sent to your pharmacy.

It's nothing to prepare some food for you."

The auntie spoke loudly, with a passionate look on her face.

At this time, the eldest brother of this family also came out and said with a smile: "Little brother, just eat something casually. It's not something good, but it's just a token of my appreciation."

Chen Yushu took the opportunity to look at the processed chicken and duck placed in the basin, plus the bacon that the aunt had cut on the chopping board, which was served in a bowl. The portion was quite large.

Is this just for casual eating?

For ordinary villagers, they may not even be able to have such a meal during the Chinese New Year. It is only when entertaining distinguished guests that they will spend so much effort to prepare it.

To prepare all this so early in the morning, and to invite him so warmly...

Chen Yushu was silent for a while before he said, "Uncle, aunt, if you have anything to say, just tell me.

Even if you guys make it, I won’t dare to eat it.”

"This……"

The two looked at each other.

Then the uncle recruited a kid in the room who was a few years younger than Chen Yushu, and said, “It’s like this, I’ve wanted to learn martial arts since I was a kid.

So we also thought about sending him to your pharmacy to be an apprentice."

Chen Yushu nodded but said nothing.

"but.

Your pharmacy is recruiting apprentices, and they all need a precious medicine.

But precious medicine is hard to find.

Even in our Tianyuan Mountain, not everyone can collect precious medicines.

It's good enough if we can have two plants a year.

Sometimes there is only one plant in a year.

But how many people are there collecting herbs in the whole village?

There are dozens of them.

Although we have always wanted to send Xiaobao to the pharmacy, we have never been able to do so due to the lack of precious medicines."

“But it’s no use looking for me.

This is the rule of the Liu Family Pharmacy, I can’t change it.”

Chen Yushu shook his head and said.

"We heard that the young man is the apprentice of the town's shopkeeper Su. Perhaps he can have some say?"

The aunt quickly spoke carefully.

Chen Yushu frowned, shook his head and said, "I've already said that this is the rule from above. Even if my master comes, it may not be changed. If you really want to find her, then look for the third young lady who lives in the medicine shop. She is the one who came from the county and is a real member of the Liu family."

Chen Yushu sold Liu Qingyan without any psychological burden.

"That Third Miss is such a person, how can we get close to her?

Otherwise, we heard that you entered the back of Tianyuan Mountain this time and entered the cave of resentful ghosts... We in Qianjia Village never dare to set foot there, and I think there must be many precious medicines there.

I wonder if my little brother has also gained anything. We have money and can buy it directly from you.

Don't worry, we will never let you suffer any loss. We will offer you the price you deserve.

All we want is a spot in the pharmacy."

The uncle spoke quickly.

"Well, I will introduce someone to you, you can go and discuss it with him.

I won't interfere.

If he says it can be done, then it can be done. If not, then there is nothing I can do."

Chen Yushu was silent for a moment. He had just stayed in someone else's house for a night, so it was not easy for him to refuse directly. He remembered that Qian Qian was from Qianjia Village, and they had indeed dug up some precious medicine in the mountains, and not just one.

These precious medicines are all unique to them.

The Liu family pharmacy, including Liu Qingyan and others, were unable to accept the money.

This was the extra income that they all agreed upon before going up the mountain, and it was their own.

He didn't know the exact price of this precious medicine, so it would be better to hand it over to Qian Qian, a veteran who was from Qianjia Village and had some say.

So quickly, he called Qian Qian over.

It only took a stick of incense to negotiate a price that satisfied both parties.

“For thirty-eight taels of silver, I gave them the precious ginseng seeds.

Our drug store's purchase price for this precious ginseng seed is only thirty-five taels of silver. The extra three taels of silver is just a small bonus for our help.

Exactly nineteen taels of silver per person.

In addition to this precious medicine ginseng, there are some other medicinal materials and big medicines. I just found Manager Xu and got an estimate of their value. They are also worth sixty-six taels of silver.

Next, we have two precious medicinal herbs left.

A blackleaf grass and a Tenglong grass.

Among them, the blackleaf grass is worth forty-five taels of silver, and the purchase price of Tenglong grass in our medicine shop is only thirty-five taels.

But I know that some masters are in urgent need of this thing.

If everything goes well, it shouldn’t be a problem to sell it for double the price, sixty or seventy taels of silver.”

Qian Qian quickly began to settle accounts with Chen Yushu.

The two of them picked a lot of medicinal herbs, including powerful medicines and precious medicines in the cave of resentful ghosts.

If he hadn't been so full and hadn't forgotten to bring some common herbs of lower value, he should have been able to earn another 10 or 20 taels of silver.

After Qian Qian's calculations, Chen Yushu unexpectedly discovered that this time both of them could get more than one hundred taels of silver.

"I'll leave all of this to you."

Chen Yushu nodded and said quickly.

“Don’t worry about that.

However, we will divide the money first.

Thirty-eight plus sixty-six is one hundred and four, which is exactly fifty-two taels of silver for each of us.

As for the remaining two precious herbs, I will find a good buyer when I get to town.

Try to sell it at a high price, and then divide the money later."

Qian Qian said this with excitement on his face.

This amount can indeed be considered a pleasant surprise.

Thinking of the silver that was about to go into his pocket, he suddenly felt that this trip was really worthwhile.

Chen Yushu also felt satisfied.

Although he has earned a lot of money by selling talismans, who would complain that they have too much money?

Not to mention, in addition to these precious medicines, he had other gains before this.

Eight taels of silver, five taels of gold, plus a red cloud Ganoderma lucidum with three leaves.

That Red Cloud Ganoderma lucidum was his unique property, and its actual value was at least over one hundred taels of silver.

of course.

He had his own plans for this precious medicine and did not intend to sell it.

In martial arts practice, the most important thing is Qi and blood.

If you eat well and have abundant Qi and blood, it will be easier to make progress.

Talent and the like are only effective for geniuses.

In fact, resources are often enough to bridge the gap between ordinary geniuses and mediocre people.

Of course, if you are a genius and have sufficient resources, you can naturally surpass people with mediocre qualifications quickly and rise to the top.

And this kind of person is called a genius.

Chen Yushu does not consider himself a genius.

The reason why he was chosen by Manager Su was, first of all, his attribute panel enabled him to quickly learn the Medicine King Pillar Skill, become proficient in it, and even achieve some success.

The second is the state of reading.

The fourth level of reading, the enlightened state of mind, not only allows him to remember everything he sees, but also allows him to deeply learn and understand everything related to martial arts.

That's why he is considered a genius.

But he knew that his talent was growth-oriented and would continue to improve as his reading level improved.

It is very different from others who are geniuses from the beginning.

After all, Chen Yushu did not have breakfast at that family's house. Instead, he ate with everyone else in the pharmacy. Then the group rushed to Jianghuan Town without stopping.

It was already afternoon when we arrived.

After lunch, Chen Yushu went to the second floor of the medicine shop and met his master, the shopkeeper Su Mingsu.

"This time, it went smoothly."

Su Ming had greeted them at the door before. Of course, the main people to greet them were the Third Miss Liu Qingyan and the old doctor Liu Hexuan, so he naturally had no time to pay attention to his own apprentice.

When they met alone, he began to ask questions.

“It went smoothly.

I also gained a lot of knowledge.”

Chen Yushu nodded, and then briefly explained his experience of the trip.

Hearing this, Su Ming nodded. He had naturally heard about the role Chen Yushu played in this operation.

Although he mainly used the means of sneaking around and did not display much martial arts, as his disciple, he was naturally very happy to be praised by others.

“Although you have made some progress in your sneak attack skills, you should not neglect your martial arts training.

I don't want people to mention my apprentice first, and the first thing they talk about is your ability to kill ghosts."

Su Ming looked at Chen Yushu and said with an appropriate knock.

“The disciple knows.

I will not give up martial arts."

Chen Yushu nodded quickly and said.

“Just remember it.

By the way, you should be careful when you go out these two days.

There are a lot more gangsters in the town recently, including both martial artists and ghost walkers like you.

Be careful, there are people here who are mermaids and mermen, don't get tricked."

Then, Shopkeeper Su quickly reminded.

“I just noticed on the road that there are many more people.

Why are these people here?"

Chen Yushu asked quickly.

“It’s okay to tell you about this.

You have also experienced the last incident. The bandits in Shuiliangou opened a mechanism, which attracted many ghosts and spirits.

And according to our speculation, there should be a large tomb underneath, the tomb of a great martial artist.

And as the news spread, more and more rumors began to circulate.

Some people say that this is the tomb of King Pinghai, the pirate leader from a hundred years ago.

Hidden inside were the gold, silver and jewels he had looted over the years. In addition, it was very likely that it also contained his martial arts inheritance and secret books on cultivation... As a result, Jianghuan Town suddenly became lively, and of course all kinds of fights and brawls were inevitable.

Just yesterday, a man named Zhao Kunpeng went directly to Changfeng Martial Arts School to challenge it, and the result was..."

Shopkeeper Su couldn't help but shake his head as he spoke.

"How about it?"

Chen Yushu asked curiously.

“Being carried out.

He is still receiving treatment in the lobby downstairs."

Shopkeeper Su continued.

"what?"

Chen Yushu was stunned.

I thought that anyone who dared to challenge the opponent would at least have good martial arts skills, but instead he got severely beaten up.

"Do you think it's so easy to kick a team?
Without one or two warriors above the internal strength level to take charge, one would not dare to open a martial arts school.

This person's strength is not weak, and his inner cultivation is perfect. He probably challenges in order to use the pressure to break through.

But, how could it be so easy to suffer when a warrior in the inner force realm attacks?

If it weren't for the kindness of Old Chang of Changfeng Martial Arts School who withdrew his attack at the critical moment, he would not have been able to withstand Old Chang's heart-stimulating palm with his skills.

After all, it was he who proposed the challenge, so even if Old Chang beat him to death, no one would dare to say a word. "

Shopkeeper Su waved his hand and said.

Chen Yushu nodded. A warrior at the internal force realm could often hurt people invisibly. Even if the person looked fine on the outside, once the internal force was injected into the person, the person could be seriously injured or even killed.

Then, Chen Yushu did not stay on the second floor for long, and went downstairs directly. He looked in the direction of the bed, where a middle-aged warrior was screaming in pain and struggling violently. From Chen Yushu's point of view, this man not only had multiple fractures and strains all over his body, but also at least four or five hidden injuries. His injuries were very serious.

Obviously, this person is Zhao Kunpeng that the master just mentioned.

Chen Yushu took a look and didn't pay much attention to it. He strode out of the pharmacy.

While it was still early, he naturally planned to resume his previous reading habits and rush to Ningjing Academy.

However, before going to the academy, Chen Yushu went back home first and collected the gold, silver and other items, as well as the precious medicine Red Cloud Ganoderma.

Then, he began to carefully check his room inside and out. After confirming that it had not been visited by strong men, he rushed towards Ningjing Academy from the backyard.
