Becoming a Taoist Master by Walking on the Underworld

Chapter 108 Breakthrough, Two Incense Sticks, It’s Coming?!
"What do you mean?"

Chen Yushu frowned, naturally knowing what he meant.

Ji Xiong, Wang Zheng, Qian Qian and him are all in the same boat at this time, and are all very likely to be the target of the zombie in Qianjia Village.

Before, the zombies were only active in Qianjia Village, and they could still comfort themselves that the zombies might not travel dozens of miles to Jianghuan Town to attack them.

But now, Ji Xiong is gone.

Things are dangerous.

It also indicates that danger may come at any time.

"Ji Xiong comes to work on time every day.

But he didn't come today. I knew he was renting a house in the west of the town, so I went there specifically to look for him, but the door was closed and he wasn't there.

I even asked his neighbors, and they said they saw him go home yesterday, and they didn’t see him go out this morning…”

As Qian Qian spoke, he felt nervous.

He was originally from Qianjia Village and had always been paying attention to what was happening in Qianjia Village. After discovering this situation, it was of course easy for him to associate it with their entry into Tianyuan Mountain this time.

Therefore, the more this happened, the more frightened he became.

"Don't panic yet. Maybe he just happened to be busy. Look for him and ask around. Don't scare yourself."

Chen Yushu was silent for a while and then comforted her.

“That’s all we can do.

But what should I do tonight?
If Ji Xiong is really dead, then its next target may be one of the three of us."

Qian Qian nodded first, but still asked in panic.

He knew that Chen Yushu was a ghost who knew a lot about these things, so he could only place his hopes on him.

"Two ways.

One is to leave immediately, the farther the better.

This thing won't go out during the day. As long as it can't sense your breath, it won't cause you any trouble.

Another is to seek asylum.

Find some guys who can handle that thing."

Chen Yushu thought about it before speaking.

"That's...okay!"

Qian Qian was silent for a moment, then nodded vigorously.

As for joining forces with Chen Yushu?
As soon as the thought arose in his mind, he extinguished it.

When two people are together, their goals are bigger.

Maybe that thing originally targeted Wang Zheng, but because the two of them were together, it chose to cause trouble for them directly. Wouldn't that be bad?
In his opinion, it is better to encounter danger one day later.

Maybe there will be a turning point the next day?

Watching Qian Qian leave, Chen Yushu felt a sense of urgency in his heart.

But the other party was in the dark and he was in the light, so there was nothing he could do.

The only thing you can do is to improve your strength as much as possible.

So, after returning to the pharmacy, he stopped helping and went straight to the second floor to start practicing.

At noon, Qian Qian came again and told him some bad news.

Wang Zheng ran away.

Manager Zhou, who had just been found in the morning, asked for leave and left directly on a merchant ship bound for Tianhe County.

He said he was going to visit his relatives!
“He saved a ghost.

He has no relatives in Tianhe County.

This kid is very cunning. "

At this point, Qian Qian became indignant and even more nervous.

Because Ji Xiong is missing and Wang Zheng has left, if that thing really appears, the next target will either be him or Chen Yushu.

This really made his scalp tingle.

In fact, when Wang Zheng ran away, his first thought was to run after him.

Hide for ten days or half a month and get through this danger first.

But when he ran to the dock to ask, he found out that there was only one merchant ship going to Tianhe County every day, and it had just set off in the morning and was now gone.

That means he has to stay here for one night.

Chen Yushu was also speechless.

With Ji Xiong missing and Wang Zheng leaving, the two people in danger became him and Qian Qian. The key was that he had no idea about the existence of that beast.

Ask for help from the master?

He knew that his master's martial arts skills were very high and he had reached the peak of his internal strength, but zombies, especially those of evil level, were too dangerous.

After all, Su Ming was his master and was very kind to him, so he didn't want to cheat him.

"So, the best plan is still those two good neighbors."

For this purpose, Chen Yushu specially used the Qi-Zhan technique to take a look and confirm that the pair of brothers were still there.

Then, he thought about it and decided to go and inform them first.

No matter what the other party's situation was, if he didn't know about it, he was afraid that he would be killed by the other party before he even entered the door.

Walking to the other party's door, Chen Yushu knocked on it. Soon there was a response from inside, and then the door opened.

"It's you? The guy from the Liu family's pharmacy? What do you want?"

The person who opened the door was the corpse raiser's junior fellow apprentice. I remember his name was Qi Jichuan. He was also surprised to see her.

"It's like this, there might be something special tonight, so I'd like to ask you for help..."

Chen Yushu quickly spoke and told him the general situation he knew.

"This... My senior brother is not here at this time, so I can't just agree to it, but I know about this."

Qi Jichuan hesitated for a moment, and finally spoke.

"Thank you very much, senior."

Chen Yushu's face suddenly lit up with joy. Although the other party did not completely agree, judging from his expression, he did not completely refuse. So when the time comes, he will at least help out.

"Of course, in addition to this, I also need to be prepared for other responses."

After saying goodbye to Qi Jichuan, Chen Yushu's mind was in turmoil. He did not dare to hesitate, nor did he go to Ningjing Academy. Instead, he went straight home, first lit a fire to boil medicine, and then went straight to the study and began to draw talismans frantically.

The first thing he drew was the ghost-killing talisman!
The moment he finished drawing one, two, and the third talisman, he felt a shock in his heart. Countless information about the Ghost-Slaying Talisman and the experience of drawing it flashed through his mind. It seemed that in this short period of time, he had drawn hundreds or even thousands of them.

He also discovered that the ghost-killing talisman he had originally drawn, although neat, actually had many areas that could be improved; some of the patterns could even be simpler.

"Mastered the Ghost Slaying Talisman?"

Chen Yushu was delighted.

I glanced at the properties panel.

Ghost Slaying Talisman: Mastery (1/200)

A hint of excitement suddenly appeared on his face.

Then he drew the Ghost-Slaying Talisman again, and it was indeed much easier. Not only were the rune patterns much simpler than before, but when the talisman took shape, the noise it made and the amount of heaven and earth energy it absorbed were both greater and more turbulent.

“The power of this talisman is definitely stronger.

It should be considered as a top-quality talisman among the ghost-killing talismans, so let’s call it a top-quality talisman.”

Chen Yushu muttered to himself and quickly drew five more pictures.

Evil-repelling talisman +6
Then, he set his eyes on the lightning-inducing talisman.

This lightning-attracting talisman is even more powerful than the ghost-killing talisman in dealing with ghosts and monsters, and its destructive power is enormous.

The key is that this lightning-inducing talisman is about to reach its experience limit and is about to be upgraded.

He quickly laid out the talisman paper and began to draw.

Lightning Talisman +1
Lightning Talisman +3
Lightning Talisman +2
……

A familiar feeling instantly came over him, and countless experiences and insights about drawing the Lightning Attracting Talisman flowed through his mind. Even the runes that made up the Lightning Attracting Talisman gave him many insights, improvements, and optimizations in an instant.

Chen Yushu knew that the lightning-inducing talisman had also been upgraded.

From entry level to proficiency.

Lightning Talisman: Mastery (1/200)

A look at the property panel showed that it was indeed the case.

The confidence in my heart immediately increased a lot.

In his opinion, the power of the lightning talisman is actually not weak.

Of course, that is when dealing with ordinary ghosts. Even evil ghosts can't withstand a few of them.

But if you are facing a fierce ghost, it is not enough.

It often takes three to five, or even six to seven cards to really injure or kill it.

Now, the power of the lightning-inducing talismans at the mastery level must be increased to a higher level. Perhaps only two or three, or three or four, are enough to kill the evil spirits.

It can also be more threatening when used against evil beings.

Chen Yushu would never forget that he had used up almost all of his talismans before he was able to severely injure the ghost lady. Naturally, he would not place all his hopes on the talismans.

At this time, all the medicinal materials outside had been boiled, so Chen Yushu hurried out and swallowed the Qixue Soup and Yangyuan Soup one after another.

Next, it’s the Hongyun Ganoderma Lucidum Soup.

The violent and terrifying energy and blood instantly surged in his body, and the heat steamed, making his whole body restless.

Without hesitation, he immediately began to practice the Medicine King Posture.

At the same time, he also controlled the strength in his body and quickly practiced the Medicine King Locking Strength Technique.

Practicing two martial arts at the same time made his whole body radiate heat, and sweat and blood were constantly discharged as he practiced.

Yaowang Zhuang Gong +3
Medicine King Locking Power +5
……

Suddenly, Chen Yushu's body shook.

I felt the energy in my body flowing and suddenly accelerating.

Under the control of the force, it is not only faster and more violent, but the penetrating power is also greatly enhanced.

A lot of experience in the operation of Medicine King Locking Power emerged in his mind. Not only did he control the strength more delicately and handily, but he also vaguely understood a new operation route of Medicine King Locking Power.

This route is far more complicated than the previous one, but more meticulous. It not only exercises many flesh and blood joints and nerve endings that were originally not taken care of, but also has an excellent strengthening and repairing effect on all the flesh and blood in the body.

Practicing martial arts can not only strengthen the body, but also nourish and cultivate the body.

In just a moment, he felt the effect of the new Medicine King Locking Power.

He also truly felt that his physical strength was increasing.

Especially when he felt that his flesh and blood had been tempered to a certain degree, he suddenly felt his bones begin to become numb, and he clearly felt that the strength in his body was continuously washing and strengthening all the bones in his body.

"This is the fourth step in the external training of skin, flesh, tendons and marrow: training the bones.

So I have already reached the level of bone training without realizing it?"

Chen Yushu was startled, and then a look of surprise appeared on his face.

This speed was much faster than he had previously guessed.

But think about it carefully

This is also normal.

The first is his progress in practicing the Medicine King Posture.

The state of great success.

With each practice, his strength would continue to grow, far surpassing that of ordinary martial artists. In addition, his Medicine King Locking Strength Technique had also achieved minor success, and now it had been upgraded to major success. With the surging strength, he could continuously strengthen and temper his flesh, tendons and bones.

In addition, he drank Qixue Soup, Yangyuan Soup, Hongyun Ganoderma Soup every day...especially Hongyun Ganoderma Soup, which was so effective that it continuously replenished the energy he needed for cultivation.

This allowed his external training to advance by leaps and bounds, and enabled him to optimize his skills after achieving perfection with the help of the Medicine King Locking Power Technique, and reach the level of bone refining in one fell swoop.

“External bone training is the best time to increase strength.

Because the harder the bones are, the more powerful the power they can exert.

Martial artists who have successfully trained their bones are often much stronger than those in the flesh training stage who have not yet reached the bone training level. "

Chen Yushu was excited, but he did not stop practicing Medicine King Posture and Medicine King Locking Power.

With the help of the medicinal power of Red Cloud Ganoderma Lucidum Soup, he continued to refine his skin, flesh, meridians, and bones...

Once, twice, three times...

One Sunday, two Sundays, three Sundays...

Chen Yushu stopped resting until the effect of the drug was exhausted. "Even though I am only just starting to train my bones with strength, it has increased my strength by at least 30% compared to before."

After the practice, Chen Yushu silently felt his own strength and picked up a large stone in the yard. It was a bit difficult at first, but now he lifted it up easily and threw it up without feeling any effort.

Then he picked up the long sword and used eighteen consecutive strikes.

One slash after another, each one was like a phantom, not only fast but also extremely powerful.

Then, he flashed his knife.

In a trance, it seemed as if six swords overlapped each other.

Tsk~!

The air actually trembled slightly and made a hissing sound.

Under the sweeping gust of wind, even a small tree about ten feet away was shaken.

"The power of the Eighteen Swords at the Great Perfection level is not weak.

Now that my strength has increased significantly, the power of this martial art has become even stronger."

Chen Yushu was very proud of himself. He flashed his sword and started practicing the Eighteen-Sword Technique again.

Then, he began to practice the Kuangfeng Sword Technique and the Eight Steps to Chase the Cicada. Soon after, he began to practice the Yin-walking Technique, the Fuyin Technique, the Huasha Technique, the Seven Star Steps...

The sky gradually darkened as he practiced.

At this time, Chen Yushu walked out of the door and used the Qi-gazing technique to look at the last room.

They were like several giant beasts crawling in the house, calm and reserved, yet full of imposing aura.

"Still."

Seeing this, Chen Yushu felt relieved, returned to the room, and took out a soul bead.

This is the last soul bead he has.

The previous one had already been absorbed by him, and now this one is only the size of a fingernail.

Immortal cultivation: One stick of incense (93/100)

Then he looked at the attribute panel.

There are only seven points left to complete the incense and Taoist practice.

Without hesitation, he quickly entered into a state of meditation, controlling his mental power and absorbing the spiritual particles within the soul bead.

Every time he absorbed something, he would spend several breaths to refine it, and he would repeat this process over and over again. As he continued to absorb spiritual particles, his spiritual practice began to slowly improve.

Incense +1
Incense +1
Incense +1
……

After a stick of incense, Chen Yushu suddenly felt a sudden shock.

A special feeling immediately came to my mind.

"One stick of incense completes the journey.
Am I about to break through?"

Chen Yushu understood immediately and saw at a glance that the words "One Stick of Incense (100/100)" appeared clearly on the attribute panel.

Moreover, his mind was full and he had a sense of grandeur, as if it was about to burst out of his head and vent somewhere.

Without any hesitation, he immediately controlled his mental strength and rushed quickly towards his left shoulder.

boom!
A ball of flame suddenly condensed and appeared.

This flame is invisible and intangible, and cannot be seen by ordinary people with the naked eye. Even a ghost with sufficient mental strength cannot see it.

Only by using secret techniques such as the art of looking at qi could one see that a small flame had been ignited on Chen Yushu's shoulder again.

The small flame was bright white all over, burning brightly as if it would never go out; upon closer inspection, it looked like incense sticks, jumping slightly, echoing the one above his head.

"It's done!
Ignite the earth fire.

It was like my cultivation had finally reached a breakthrough.

My cultivation level has officially reached the level of two incense sticks."

Chen Yushu was happy.

I can clearly feel that my spiritual strength has become much stronger.

It is not only a quantitative improvement, but also a qualitative leap.

More condensed and firm.

Only then did I truly understand what Sister Qiao'er had said before: the higher the level of Taoism, the more powerful the technique will be.

Even though he hadn't actually used it yet, he was very clear that if he used the same Fu Yin Jue now, its power would be far greater than before.

Then, he set his eyes on the attribute panel.

Immortal cultivation: two incense sticks (1/100)

“It’s indeed two sticks of incense.

The cultivation level has broken through and the strength has greatly increased.

Finally, I have more confidence in facing the possible dangers."

Only at this moment did Chen Yushu feel truly relieved.

Of course, this does not mean that he is confident that he can deal with the possible zombies with his own means.

But he knew that the stronger he was, the greater his chance of survival would be.

Only when you encounter danger can you truly respond calmly and escape from an otherwise fatal situation.

It took him a while to recover from his excitement.

Then continue to use your mental strength to absorb the power within the soul bead.

Once, twice, three times...

Incense +1
Incense +1
When he felt the incense power jumping again and increasing a little to (3/100), he felt his hands were empty.

The soul bead is gone!
The spiritual particles inside were completely absorbed by him, leaving no trace.

“Everything is ready.

I have done everything I should do.

The strength has also been improved to the limit that can be achieved at present.

Next, all we have to do is wait.

It would have been fine if the zombie hadn't come.

Once it comes..."

Chen Yushu felt a rare sense of anticipation in his heart, and couldn't help but look up at the house-guarding talisman on the eaves.

Suddenly he saw that the house-guarding talisman was being consumed quickly and turned black rapidly. He couldn't help but change his expression and instantly stood up, looking as if he was facing a formidable enemy.

Just at this moment, Xiaoyin, who had been hiding in the jade pendant on his waist, rushed out, put her hand on his hand, and said, "Brother Yushu, Xiaohong is here to see me."

Then, Chen Yushu looked through the window and saw a little girl in red clothes and red shoes jumping over the wall and directly into his yard.

It was Xiaoyin’s playmate, Xiaohong.

Xiaohong would come to play with Xiaoyin every now and then. Of course, Xiaoyin sometimes couldn't help but run out to find Xiaohong. The two of them seemed like real good friends and would hang out from time to time.

But Xiaoyin is quite well-behaved and always comes back before dawn every day.

It's just that recently in Jianghuan Town, the number of people from all walks of life has increased, and people from all walks of life have gathered together, including some underworld people, so Chen Yushu restricted Xiaoyin from going out by herself.

Obviously, Xiaohong couldn't wait for Xiaoyin, so she came over to play with her.

"Tell her that if she doesn't go out today, she won't be able to go out for the next few days."

Chen Yushu then spoke.

"Okay, brother Yushu."

Xiaoyin nodded obediently without asking the reason, then skipped to Xiaohong and explained to her.

Upon hearing this, Xiaohong couldn't help but glance at Chen Yushu in the room, nodded after a long while, and then turned and left.

"Fortunately, you can listen to advice."

Chen Yushu didn't know why the other party turned into a fierce ghost. Maybe it was because of deep resentment or maybe it was due to environmental factors. He didn't want to pursue it. If the other party insisted on taking Xiaoyin out, he didn't mind teaching him a lesson.

With his current strength and means, it is not difficult to subdue a fierce ghost.

So, after Xiaoyin came back, Chen Yushu pasted another house-warding talisman on the beam, and to reward Xiaoyin for being well-behaved, he quickly took two thick and large incense sticks and lit them.

Of course, he later bought these special incense sticks specifically from Lao Fu’s incense shop.

Xiaoyin made great contributions on Tianyuan Mountain.

Not only did she help him pick up five taels of gold and seven or eight taels of silver, but she also helped him get the Red Cloud Ganoderma Lucidum. She could be said to be his lucky star, and he would naturally satisfy her some of her small requests.

So, in addition to purchasing a lot of talisman paper and talisman ink, he also bought several large bundles of such incense.

Two at a time are enough for Xiaoyin to have a good meal.

Xiaoyin was also very satisfied. As long as the incense was lit, she would hold the two incense sticks, taking a puff on the left and then on the right, as if she wanted to figure out which incense tasted better.

However, this time, she stopped halfway through inhaling, and her whole little face suddenly became excited. She opened and closed her mouth and said something quickly. She soon realized that her brother Yushu could not hear her, so she rushed to his side and put her hand on his.

“Brother Yushu, Brother Yushu.

My sister is back, my sister is back."

Her voice was very excited and her little face was full of smiles, she was very pretty and cute.

"Sister Qiaoer is back?
where? "

Chen Yushu's eyes lit up and he couldn't help but feel excited.

In his opinion, Sister Qiaoer's strength is unquestionable.

When they met before, he dared to enter the Zuo family compound alone and borrowed something from the "old guy", Xiaohong's grandfather.

Now, he is about to encounter danger.

If Sister Qiao'er could come back, wouldn't his safety be guaranteed?
Therefore, he became a little excited at this time.

"do not know."

Xiaoyin shook her head and said, "My sister and I have a connection.

As long as she is not too far away from me, I can sense it.

But I don't know exactly where.

I just vaguely felt that it was in that direction..."

As she spoke, Xiaoyin stretched out her hand and pointed in a direction.

But this range is too general.

He couldn't just take Xiaoyin to find Sister Qiaoer so late at night, right?
"So how far do you think you are from Sister Qiao'er?"

Chen Yushu asked immediately.

"I do not know either.

Only when my sister burns incense can I accurately determine her location. If I can sense it like this, it will take me a long time to walk.

One time I followed my intuition and almost got lost.”

Xiaoyin shook her head. Since her sister didn’t burn incense, she didn’t dare to run over.

Day and night are two dividing lines.

Many things wake up and move around at night.

Even if she is a ghost, she is dangerous.

Hearing this, Chen Yushu had no choice but to nod.

Just as he was about to say something, he suddenly noticed that the talisman he had just placed on the beam quickly turned yellow and black again, and then burned out in the blink of an eye.

Something else coming?

Is Xiaohong back?

Chen Yushu was startled and looked out the window, but there was no sign of the other person.

"It's so cold."

Xiaoyin suddenly said something at this time.

Chen Yushu was stunned for a moment, then immediately reacted.

It's this~!

It is coming!
His eyes moved and he directly used the Qi-gazing technique.

Look around.

He immediately saw a huge and thick black fog rising in the direction of his backyard, like a dark cloud covering a city, and was rapidly approaching him.

A zombie?!

It's really coming!
