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

Chapter 34 Disaster
In the next few days, in addition to practicing and cultivating magic, Li Yan also drew talismans.

However, his journey in drawing talismans was not smooth, and he wasted hundreds of talismans in just a few days.

He made rapid progress in practicing magic because of his profound skills.

Among the magic spells he has learned, except for the golden needle technique which has been perfected, there are many others that have reached great perfection.

However, his profound Taoist skills became a shortcoming when it came to drawing talismans.

Several consecutive days of failure had made him a little restless, and he even doubted whether he was cut out for the job of drawing talismans.

However, he also knew that his lack of control over his Taoism, although not having any impact at present, might become an obstacle when he entered a higher realm.

With his qualifications, it is only a matter of time before he reaches the realm of Seven Souls True Man.

But he couldn't guarantee whether he could break through to the level of nourishing his soul and entering the level of settling his soul and enlightening his nature.

He had only seen some vague descriptions of settling the soul and enlightening the nature in the life-nurturing methods before, saying that in order to reach that level, in addition to honing one's Taoism, one must also enlighten one's mind and see one's nature.

Once you reach that level, you can truly live forever.

只修性，不修命，万劫阴灵难入圣。

If you only cultivate your life but not your nature, your life will be as long as that of a fool in heaven and earth.

Only by cultivating both the body and the soul can one practice the correct Dharma.

Even though Li Yan has only awakened the second soul now, with his speed of cultivation, it won’t take long for him to reach this level.

If you want to make a breakthrough as quickly as possible, you first need to hone your own skills.

Therefore, even though he had made no progress in drawing talismans, he still did not intend to give up, but was prepared to persevere for a long time.

It's just funny that he originally wanted Cuizhu to throw away the useless talismans, but in the end they were all snatched away by the Li family.

Although he suffered setbacks in drawing talismans, his status as a master of talismans became more and more famous in the eyes of the Li family.

Even the talismans that Li Yan had drawn and which were no longer useful were kept and he was unwilling to throw them away.

"Third Master, the Second Uncle sent someone to tell you that Daoist Master Jiang has returned and wants to invite you to the government office to discuss matters."

"okay, I get it."

Li Yan stopped writing and sighed softly.

He left the pavilion, went out, got on a carriage and drove towards the government office.

With his current level of Taoism, there is nothing in Hengjiang Prefecture that he fears.

Therefore, these days I am no longer confined to my own yard. When I feel tired of drawing talismans, I will go out for a walk to relax.

The carriage soon arrived at the government office. Li Yan got off the carriage and was led to the lobby.

The old Taoist priest stood aside in the hall with a solemn expression, while Song Xing beside him also had a bitter face and frowned.

"Xiaoyan, you're here."

When Song Xing saw Li Yan coming over, he forced a smile and nodded at him.

"Second brother-in-law, Master Jiang, what happened?"

Seeing the heavy atmosphere between the two, Li Yan felt something was wrong and asked them.

The old Taoist said solemnly, "I discovered the traces of the evil cultivator in Jiangjin County a few days ago, so I have been secretly tracking them down. Then I found the traces of the evil cultivator yesterday and killed him."

"And I also found the mark of the Sun God Cult on this evil cultivator. When I came back, I also found the mark of the Sun God Cult on the evil cultivator you killed."

"So I feel that this missing person case is not simply caused by evil practitioners, but rather the evil cult of the Sun God Cult is taking action in Hengjiang Prefecture."

"They have been secretly arresting mortals in recent months. I suspect their purpose may not be as simple as capturing blood eaters. There is a high possibility that there is a deeper conspiracy."

"The Sun Cult?"

Li Yan raised his eyebrows.

He had heard Liu Yingying talk about the four evil gods, and the Sun God Cult sounded like a cult that obviously believed in the Sun God.

"Yes."

The old Taoist nodded heavily.

Although he has been practicing peacefully under the protection of the God of Hengjiang Prefecture for a long time over the years, he is not indifferent to worldly affairs.

However, he is not unfamiliar with the evil sect of the Sun God Cult in the outside world.

"The Sun God Cult is a sect that believes in one of the four evil gods, the Sun God. It is divided into four levels: followers, believers, bishops, and generals."

"The two evil cultivators we killed should have been ordinary followers of the Sun God Cult."

"But since they showed up in Hengjiang Prefecture at the same time, it means that there is a high possibility that there are evil Sun God Cult practitioners in Hengjiang Prefecture who are superior to the followers."

When the old Taoist said this, he showed a worried look on his face. If he was the only one who encountered the evil cultivator of the Sun God Sect, he would not think so.

But even Li Yan encountered one, which forced him to think more.

Once the evil cultivators set their sights on Hengjiang Prefecture, the prefecture, which had just been pacified, would likely fall into chaos again.

"I have asked the Demon Exorcist Bureau for help."

Song Xing continued in a deep voice: "But the evil cultivators of these evil god sects are very well hidden, and I don't know if the Demon Subduing Division can find them."

Li Yan also felt very difficult at this moment.

He didn't know whether the magic mirror of the Demon-Subduing Bureau would work against evil cultivators, but he thought it was highly unlikely.

Now that two of their followers have died, the evil practitioners will certainly be more cautious next time.

In this way, even if people from the Demon-Subduing Bureau came, they would most likely be as confused as the original Taoist priest.

"We can only take one step at a time."

Li Yan felt a sense of crisis.

He felt that his current cultivation level was not enough.

Even an ordinary believer has reached the Three Souls Realm, so what realm will those higher-level believers, bishops, and even divine generals be at?
At this time, Li Yan was still not clear that in the classification of evil cultivators, realm did not represent the real class.

There is something else that can represent the evil cultivation class.

However, although he felt threatened, he did not panic.

Right now the evil cultivators dare not show up, which means they have no intention of taking action yet.

For him, every day that passes is one year's progress in his cultivation.

The later the evil cultivator takes action, the stronger he will be.

If he waits until his cultivation reaches two hundred years, he will be comparable to the Seven Souls Immortal.

By that time, it would be too late for the evil cultivator to take action.

……

After leaving the government office.

Li Yan still insisted on practicing every day, practicing spells, and drawing talismans.

This day.

The autumn weather is clear and cool.

A gust of autumn wind lifted his spirits.

Li Yan sat in the pavilion, sketching with a brush and ink in his hand. The life energy from his brush slowly came out and fell on the talisman paper along with the cinnabar.

suddenly.

As if a sudden inspiration came to his mind, he drew the evil-breaking talisman in one go.

"call……"

He let out a long breath and looked at the talisman he was writing with burning eyes.

The bright red cinnabar ink on the talisman paper, with wisps of life energy flowing slowly, it looked like a finished talisman.

"It's finally done!"

An excited smile appeared on Li Yan's face.

He couldn't remember how many talismans he had drawn.

But his efforts were not in vain after all. He successfully drew the evil-breaking talisman and stepped into the door of talismans.

Just now.

The cheerful sounds of green bamboo came from outside the yard.

"Third Master! There is good news!"

Cuizhu ran into the yard and said to Li Yan with a smile on her face: "The eldest lady is back!"

"Miss?"

When Li Yan heard this, a look of surprise appeared on his face.
