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

Chapter 22 Celebration
Li Yan returned to his room, changed out of his black robe and put it into his storage bag.

"Am I so strong now?"

The taut string in his heart finally relaxed a little.

Although he knew that his current strength was very strong, he had never fought before, so he couldn't quantify how strong he was.

To this day, a wolf demon with five hundred years of cultivation cannot withstand more than a single move from him.

This made him fully understand the level of his own strength.

Maybe they can't be called top-notch, but there should be few enemies in Hengjiang Prefecture right now.

"However, although I am good at dealing with demons and ghosts, when I encounter ordinary practitioners, I am still at a normal level. I still cannot be too careless."

Li Yan knew very well that he had developed the corpse dog soul to the extreme, and with the added ability to ward off evil spirits, he could deal extra damage to demons and ghosts with the power of warding off evil spirits.

Plus, the wolf demon seemed to have not yet recovered from its original injuries.

That's why he could easily kill the wolf demon instantly.

Without the bonus of the power to ward off evil, he would at best be on par with a high-level four-spirit wizard, and to some extent even slightly inferior, because he currently possessed too few spells.

With the power to ward off evil, his strength can rival that of the Five Spirits Master.

In terms of attack, the only skill he can show off is the golden needle technique.

He has only made some progress in practicing the Fire Snake Technique, so its power is just average.

The remaining spells are all auxiliary spells and have little combat power.

"It would be great if I could master more spells."

Li Yan felt a little regretful.

He was a self-taught person, with no one to teach him. He learned magic spells whatever he saw, without any system at all.

He was watching from the side when the people from the Demon Subduing Bureau surrounded and killed the wolf demon.

It was discovered that the magic spells practiced by the people in the Demon-Subduing Bureau were almost all sets.

Attack, defense, speed, nothing lacking.

Although Li Yan was lucky enough to get two attack spells, he still lacks defensive spells and short-range dash and dodge spells.

Although Sprint can also increase speed, it is only suitable for walking.

Compared to those charge spells, its speed is still not enough.

The spell used by Zhong Dinghai to advance could cover a distance of dozens of feet in a breath.

Such spells can be very effective whether it is dodging or charging.

And in the end, he was unable to dodge and was hit by the wolf demon's magic. Zhong Dinghai also had a defensive spell, which reduced the damage of the wolf demon's magic.

Otherwise, even if he had already entered the Four Souls Realm and his body was already quite strong, there was still a great possibility that he would be killed by the wolf demon's magic.

"Does it mean that I really have to go to the Demon-Subduing Division in the future?"

Li Yan felt a little shaken.

If he wants to learn more spells, his current options include buying them from Yunshui Pavilion or joining the Demon-Subduing Bureau.

As for the sect, he would not consider it.

"Forget it, I'll think about it later."

Li Yan took a deep breath and stopped thinking about it.

Anyway, he will not leave Hengjiang Prefecture for now, so there is no point in thinking more.

He had originally planned to practice Taoism for a hundred years before going to Heyang Prefecture.

……

In the following days, Hengjiang Prefecture was peaceful.

The remaining little demons could not escape at all under the magic mirror and were caught and cleaned up by the people from the Demon Subduing Bureau.

Afterwards, they did not stay in Hengjiang Prefecture any longer and returned to Heyang Prefecture.

Hengjiang Prefecture has cleared out the demons and ghosts, and with the protection of the prefecture god, it has now regained its former safety.

There is no need for them to stay here any longer.

Heyang Prefecture is vast, and the prefecture god has long since fallen.

Without the protection of the palace god, humans and demons coexist in the counties under the jurisdiction of Heyang Prefecture, and the demons and ghosts cannot be completely eliminated.

Hundreds of ghosts roam at night and monsters dance wildly.

The main battlefield of the Demon-Subduing Division is in this kind of place.

As for Hengjiang Prefecture, as long as the prefecture god's domain is not broken, they don't need to worry about it.

After a great disaster, Hengjiang Prefecture seemed to have regained its former prosperity.

The streets were crowded with people, who were chatting noisily on the streets, as if they were expressing all the uneasiness they had been feeling during this period of time.

The recent days have been extremely memorable for many of them.

The demons and ghosts that were hard to come by in the past appeared in large numbers during this period, and many people died at the hands of these demons and ghosts.

Some of these people are their neighbors, relatives, friends and so on.

Being able to live until now makes them feel fortunate to have survived a disaster.

"Yan'er, now that Hengjiang Prefecture has survived the demonic calamity, our major families and government offices will hold a Prefecture God Celebration, and young men and women from all major families will participate."

"You have to go tomorrow too, so dress formally. You will be the successor to the Li family business in the future, so you must not let others look down on you."

Father Li came to Li Yan's courtyard and gave instructions to Li Yan in a friendly manner.

"Father, I think we should forget it. I don't like such a busy place."

Li Yan did not plan to attend the Palace God Celebration. This was just a celebration held by the government and major families to calm people's hearts. The people who came and went were all ordinary people, and he had no interest in it at all.

With this much time, he might as well practice the golden needle technique more times and perfect it as soon as possible.

"No, you must go this time."

Mr. Li had a serious expression and a very firm attitude.

"why?"

Li Yan looked a little surprised. It was the first time he saw Father Li like this.

"The Cui family's eldest daughter, Cui Xiaotang, will also attend the celebration. You can sit together and have a good chat then. If you can get along well, you can get engaged as soon as possible."

Li's father attached great importance to Li Yan's marriage. The Cui family was one of the big families in Hengjiang Prefecture and was a good match for the Li family.

And I heard that Cui Xiaotang was extremely beautiful and was a perfect match for my son.

"Blind date?"

Li Yan was at a loss whether to laugh or cry. He didn't expect that after traveling to this world, he still couldn't escape the fate of being urged to get married.

"Dad can tolerate you in other matters, but you must listen to Dad on this matter."

"If you really don't want to listen, I can only ask your second sister to persuade you."

It was obvious that Father Li was serious this time, and he even brought out his second sister Li Ke.

"Well, I'll go."

Mr. Li's attitude was so firm, and he had said so much, it was obvious that Li Yan could not refuse.

In that case, there's no harm in going and meeting him.

It won't take long anyway.

……

"Dad, are you really willing to let your daughter get married?"

Cui family.

Father Cui felt sad when he saw his little daughter looking so pitiful.

He had a daughter when he was old, and he loved this little girl especially.

After learning the news from the Li family that they wanted the third son of the Li family to marry his youngest daughter, he did not agree at first.

It is no secret among all the major families that the third son of the Li family fell into the lake five years ago and became mentally retarded.

He certainly wouldn't let his youngest daughter marry a fool.

But later on, we learned from the Li family that the third son of the Li family was not really stupid for five years, but had been practicing a strange martial art.

Until recently, his magical powers were perfected and he has returned to normal.

And every move is extraordinary.

First he dealt with the evil cultivator who cast a curse on him, and later he killed a monster.

From this perspective, it does have quite a few outstanding features.

Now that demons and ghosts have appeared in the world, he thinks he can consider finding a son-in-law who has an outstanding family background and the ability to kill demons and ghosts.

"Just go and meet him. If you don't want to, I'll reject you."

Father Cui finally relented.

"Thanks, Dad."

When Cui Xiaotang heard this, a bright smile appeared on her fair face.

After saying goodbye to Cui's father, Cui Xiaotang immediately returned to his room.

There is an osmanthus tree planted in front of the girl's door. Now the osmanthus flowers are in bloom, and the rich fragrance fills the room.

As soon as she stepped into the room, she saw a black cat without any other colors jumping gracefully onto the table.

The girl was not at all surprised by the appearance of the black cat.

She told the maid to leave first and turned around to close the door.
