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

Chapter 29 Asking for help
"Once I have mastered these spells, there will be no obvious shortcomings in my strength."

Li Yan smiled and thought to himself.

Obtaining so many spells at once, the purpose of his trip has been achieved, and it even exceeded his expectations.

Originally, he thought that the Taoist priest would at most teach him two or three more spells.

Unexpectedly, he got seven of them at once, and one of them was an advanced method of moving.

If we add the six spells that Li Yan himself knows, the number of spells he now possesses has reached thirteen.

There are already quite a lot of such spells.

Some mages who have just entered the Three Souls Realm may not be able to learn spells better than Li Yan's.

But his expenses were also quite high.

The two hundred thousand taels of silver notes he brought were all squandered, and all the Life Energy Pills were used to exchange for the Small Teng Nuo Technique.

Today, Li Yan can indeed be called a prodigal son.

But since he could use gold and silver to buy a lot of spells, he actually made a profit.

If the Taoist priest did not need worldly gold and silver to make elixirs, Li Yan would never have bought so many spells with gold and silver.

He and the old Taoist left the quiet room.

Then Song Xing began to tell the Taoist priest about the disappearance of people in Hengjiang Prefecture and hoped that the Taoist priest could help.

"According to what you said, the disappearance of these people is indeed most likely caused by evil cultivators."

The old Taoist frowned slightly, he knew very well that if they were really just a gang arresting people, they would not dare to be so unscrupulous, and they would be easily discovered.

Moreover, he heard from Song Xing that the missing people in Hengjiang Prefecture were all very strange and it was not something that ordinary people could do.

"If an evil cultivator captures someone, then most likely he is going to make a human pill."

When the old Taoist thought of this, a hint of anger appeared in his eyes.

Evil cultivators practice evil methods and use humans as elixirs to improve their cultivation.

They are like demons and ghosts, but they are not blocked by the God's Domain and can enter and leave the domain at will.

Once they appear in a certain place and cause trouble, the harm they cause is no less than that of demons and ghosts, and they are more hidden than demons and ghosts.

The Demon-Subduing Department also frequently issues missions to eliminate evil cultivators.

But I didn’t expect that there would be traces of evil cultivators in Hengjiang now.

"I can take care of this matter, but you still need to inform the Demon Subduing Department of the situation here."

The old Taoist finally decided to accept Song Xing's invitation and resolve the matter.

He has practiced in Hengjiang Prefecture for half his life, and of course he would not sit idly by and watch the evil practitioners run rampant here.

"Thank you, Master Jiang!"

Song Xing was overjoyed when he heard this, and he immediately bowed to the old Taoist.

With the help of the Taoist priest, things will be much simpler.

After he reports the matter to the Demon-Subduing Bureau, he will directly let the Taoist priest take over the task.

There is no need to worry about the Demon-Subduing Bureau taking too long to arrange staff.

At this point, the group's goals have been achieved.

The head of the Cui family received many talismans drawn by the old Taoist priest, and Li Yan even obtained seven magic spells. The old Taoist priest also promised Song Xing to help find the evil cultivator.

The group left Shepherd Mountain and returned along the same route.

The old Taoist did not follow them. He planned to go to the address provided by Song Xing first to see if there were any clues left there.

He has a lot of magical powers, and as long as there are any clues left, he will have a chance to find the hiding place of the evil cultivator.

……

Li Yan returned home and began to take stock of what he had gained from the trip.

This time, in addition to the small movement technique, he also acquired six new small spells.

They are three auxiliary spells: Earth Walking, Lifting and Air Searching.

As well as three combat spells: Golden Armor, Object Control, and Illusion.

Among them, the Earth Walking Spell is a spell specifically used for traveling.

The Leaping Technique can easily jump up to a height of more than ten feet, which may be useful in certain places. The Air Searching Technique can capture the breath and use it to find people or things, but unfortunately it has a distance limit.

As the name suggests, the Golden Armor Technique is a defensive spell that forms a layer of golden armor on the body surface to resist spell attacks.

The object control technique can control objects through the air, but unfortunately it can only lift objects weighing a few hundred kilograms at most, and it cannot lift itself.

However, Li Yan was most optimistic about this spell. His golden needle technique was almost perfected. If he could use this object control technique to drive the golden needles, he felt that the power of the golden needle technique might be further enhanced.

The illusion technique is a kind of sleight of hand that can condense an illusion of oneself. It has no attack power, but can confuse the enemy.

With so many spells, Li Yan had to face the difficult choice.

He didn't have the time or energy to practice so many spells at the same time, so he could only pick out a few important spells to practice first.

The small movement technique is a must-learn, and the object control technique and the golden armor technique should also be put on the agenda.

As for the other spells, he would not practice them until he had at least mastered these three spells to a small degree.

After making preparations, Li Yan began to practice in his own yard as usual.

……

Ever since the phantom of the Palace God appeared during the Palace God Festival, the number of pilgrims visiting Yuehua Temple has increased significantly.

Not only locals, but also people from other places came to Yuehua Temple to burn incense to the Hengjiang God.

In recent times, Yuehua Temple has been bustling with traffic and has been very popular.

This day.

Li Ke also came out of his house and went to Yuehua Temple to burn incense.

"I, a believer Li Ke, hope that the house god will bless me, help my husband solve the strange case as soon as possible, help my sister return safely as soon as possible, help my brother get married as soon as possible, and help my father live a long life..."

Li Ke knelt on a cushion in the main hall, and like other pilgrims, he bowed devoutly toward the statue of the God of the House and burned incense for it.

Song Xing is still busy with missing persons cases during this period.

Although the old Taoist found a clue, the evil cultivator was cunning. After discovering the old Taoist's whereabouts, he restrained himself a lot and was no longer as unscrupulous as before.

Because of this, the clues that the old Taoist had found previously were also lost.

Li Meng didn't reply for a long time, which made Li Ke a little worried.

In the past, after she sent a letter, Li Meng would reply within one or two months.

But now two months have passed, and still no news has been received.

This makes people worry whether Li Meng has encountered any danger.

There is also Li Yan, who has been concentrating on cultivation recently.

Ever since the last marriage that Li’s father introduced to Li Yan failed.

After that, Li's father kept complaining to her, saying that he was old and wanted to have a grandson as soon as possible, and kept asking her to persuade Li Yan to get married as soon as possible.

Li Ke was also helpless. She tried to persuade Li Yan but to no avail.

After burning incense, she left with the maid beside her.

The coachman drove the carriage with the maid sitting outside, heading towards Hengjiang Mansion.

But as soon as the carriage entered the city gate, Li Ke's head suddenly felt heavy.

Then it seemed as if a little person was calling in her ear, asking her to leave the carriage and walk in a certain direction.

next moment.

She suddenly woke up, a look of horror on her delicate face, realizing that something strange had happened to her.

So he quickly opened it and checked the pink sachet hanging around his waist.

Inside the sachet were more than twenty talismans that Li Yan had sent someone to give her.

Li Ke roughly counted and found that there were only a dozen talismans left.

In addition, there are some black ashes in the sachet.

Seeing this, she became nervous and hurriedly shouted to the coachman, "Uncle Song, don't go back home yet, drive to the Li family quickly, and be quick!!"

She didn't know why she was being targeted.

But she knew very well that the only one who could save her at the moment was her younger brother Li Yan, who was a cultivator.
