The Weird Way of Immortality: My Taoism Progress in One Day a Year

Chapter 19 Invitation

"Is there a demonic aura near the Li family?"

When Song Xing learned that Li Yan had sent a message saying that there were evil spirits near the Li family, he showed shock on his face.

The city of Hengjiang Prefecture had already been cleared, and recently people from the Demon-Subduing Bureau had been stationed here. How could there still be demons and ghosts that dared to enter the city?

But since Li Yan sent someone to deliver the message, it must not be groundless.

Song Xing had also heard that his wife's brother had begun practicing cultivation and seemed to have killed a weasel demon.

Although Li Yan ordered not to spread the news, Song Xing was obviously not an outsider.

Moreover, the news came from Li's father who was drunk at a banquet and proudly mentioned it to Song Xing. Only then did Song Xing know about Li Yan's abilities.

Song Xing even made some special inquiries and found out that everyone in the Li family said so, so it was obvious that they would not unite to deceive him.

Therefore, Song Xing attached great importance to the news from Li Yan.

He quickly sent a message to the people in the Demon-Subduing Bureau, asking them to go to the Li family to investigate.

……

The border of Hengjiang Prefecture.

"That wolf demon is most likely hiding in the city."

The people from the Demon Subduing Bureau searched the village in the direction where the wolf demon fled several times, but found no trace of the wolf demon.

So the team leader had a vague feeling that the wolf demon might do the opposite and hide in the city.

"Boss, there are so many of us in the capital city, could that wolf demon fall into its trap?"

One of his men asked.

He didn't think the wolf demon was so bold.

The Demon-Subduing Division sent out a total of three teams.

In addition to their team, there are two other teams that are now recuperating in the city.

If the wolf demon really hid in the city and was discovered, it would be courting death.

"If the wolf demon hides somewhere else, we will find it sooner or later. And if it is forced into a corner, it will be dead for sure."

"Instead, they hid in the city. Although it seemed dangerous, it was because we were so many and had already searched the area, so it was easier to ignore them and think that there would be no demons hiding there."

The captain's words made the team member think deeply.

It takes a lot of skill to activate the magic mirror, and they can't keep it open all the time.

The city has already been searched, so as long as there are no traces of monsters or ghosts, there is no way they will activate the magic mirror to search again.

In other words, it is possible that the wolf demon is hiding in the city.

Just as several people were discussing, the demon-subduing commander badge on the team leader suddenly vibrated slightly.

The team leader quickly input his vital energy to search for the information contained therein, with a solemn look on his face.

"Hurry back to the city. Captain Zhou Yun has sent us a message that a large demon has been spotted in the city. We must return immediately."

……

"There are actually traces of a monster, and the monster's aura is very fierce. It should be the big monster that escaped from Liang Jing's team!"

Li family residence.

A pretty, heroic woman in red, who looked to be in her twenties, stood in the yard with a look of surprise.

In her hand was a small bronze mirror, one foot square.

The mirror surface is smooth and without any marks, emitting a green glow, and the back is hollowed out with rare and exotic animals.

"Captain Zhou Yun, my brother-in-law would naturally not say anything nonsense."

Song Xing breathed a sigh of relief and said to Zhou Yun.

He informed Zhou Yun of the news, but Zhou Yun thought that Li Yan wanted to use Song Xing's identity to abuse his power for personal gain, and used the news that there were ghosts near the Li family as an excuse to ask them to search again.

However, for Song Xing's sake, he still came to the Li family.

But he didn't expect that as soon as he activated the magic mirror, he could sense through the demon-suppressing mirror that there was indeed a demonic presence nearby.

Moreover, the demonic aura is ferocious, obviously at the level of a great demon.

This reminded her of the big demon that escaped from Liang Jing's team. So without any hesitation, she immediately notified the other two teams through the demon-slaying commander card.

Otherwise, with the wolf demon's strength, it would be difficult to keep it with just a small team.

Moreover, the city is densely populated, and once a battle breaks out, it is easy to injure ordinary people by mistake, so a quick battle is necessary.

Mobilize all forces and kill them with one blow.

After passing the message to other teams, Zhou Yun turned his attention to Li Yan.

Li Yan had been sitting in the stone pavilion drinking tea with a calm expression since just now.
"How did you find the trace of the great demon?"

Zhou Yun looked at Li Yan with interest.

"It was just a coincidence."

Li Yan took a sip of tea and spoke slowly to Zhou Yun.

"What a coincidence?"

Zhou Yun obviously didn't believe it, and said, "If a big demon hides, apart from the demon-revealing mirror, only a high-level magician or above can detect it. Do you have a demon-revealing mirror, or are you a high-level magician?"

To become a high-level wizard, one needs at least forty-three years of practice.

In Zhou Yun's opinion, Li Yan naturally could not be a high-level magician.

It is also impossible to possess a magic mirror, which is a special tool used by the Demon-Subduing Bureau and ordinary people cannot get it.

"Or maybe you have exceptional perception?"

Zhou Yun said this with a firm tone.

There are always gifted people in this world who are born with spiritual bodies or extraordinary talents.

In her opinion, Li Yan possesses an extraordinary talent in perception.

"maybe!"

Li Yan did not give a direct answer. He couldn't tell Zhou Yun that he had been practicing Taoism for fifty years.

If that were the case, he would either be considered a madman or a demon.

After hearing this, Zhou Yun confirmed her guess and a satisfied smile appeared on her face.

"Since you have such excellent perception, how about joining the Demon-Subduing Division?"

"My Demon-Exorcist Department needs talents like you!"

Zhou Yun really wants to recruit Li Yan.

They have outstanding perception talents and are very popular in the Demon-Subduing Department.

After all, the hiding ability of demons and ghosts is really amazing, especially those powerful and powerful demons and ghosts. Some of them are even difficult to find with a magic mirror.

If Li Yan could be recruited into his team, future tasks would undoubtedly be much easier.

"Forget it."

Li Yan shook his head, not interested.

He does not yet have a hundred years of practice.

Therefore, in his current opinion, going out is risky, leaving the city is taking an adventure, and leaving the house is seeking death.

Only after practicing for a hundred years would he consider going out and exploring the world in a safe place.

"pity."

Zhou Yun pursed her red lips, feeling a little disappointed, and continued to persuade: "The treatment at the Demon Subduing Division is good, and Life Qi Pills are distributed every month. You can think about it again. If you have thought it through, send someone to send a message to the Demon Subduing Division in Heyang Prefecture, and I will arrange someone to pick you up at any time."

"Heyang Prefecture?"

Li Yan's heart moved, and he seemed to be thinking about something. He heard Liu Yingying mentioned Heyang Prefecture, and Yunshui Pavilion was in Heyang Prefecture.

Unexpectedly, these people from the Demon-Subduing Bureau also came from Heyang Prefecture.

"That's right. Heyang Prefecture is the capital of Bozhou, with a vast territory. One of the four main streams of the Sishui River, the mother river of our Liang State, passes through Heyang Prefecture. Therefore, there are many practitioners and demons there, and there are both dangers and opportunities."

"If you stay in Hengjiang Mansion, even if you practice for a lifetime, it will be difficult to reach the realm of a high-level four-spirit magician."

"And if you join the Demon Subduing Division, as long as you make contributions, you will be rewarded with Life Qi Pills. Not to mention becoming a high-level four-spirit wizard, even becoming a five-spirit wizard is not impossible."
