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

Chapter 51: The Speaker
"Thank you, Senior Lingjun. I understand."

Li Yan frowned slightly and clenched his fists.

He naturally didn't want to throw away his own ties.

But the current situation does not allow him to make a choice.

The high-ranking figures in this world are like gods or demons, and can take people's lives with just their names.

He now had only one choice, which was to obey Ling Jun's orders.

Wait until you have broken through to become a True Lord, and then you can look for your past karma.

"Fortunately, breaking through to the True Lord level is not out of reach for me."

Li Yan thought silently in his heart.

Now that he has sensed the location of his life soul, he only needs to accumulate his Taoism to the perfection of the seven spirits, and then he will have a chance to directly fix the soul.

"Nine months."

"In nine months at most, I will be able to achieve True Lord status and return."

Li Yan's eyes were determined. After thinking for a moment, he finally made up his mind.

He bowed to Ling Jun and said, "I am willing to listen to Senior Ling Jun's arrangements."

"very good."

Lingjun smiled and nodded. He stretched out his hand and grabbed Li Yan's head. It seemed that countless invisible threads were held in his palm.

Then he lightly flicked the invisible threads with his other hand, and the invisible threads hid and disappeared in an instant.

"I have temporarily covered up the cause and effect of your surname Li. As long as you no longer call yourself Li in the future, those people will not find out."

"Have you thought of a future name?"

Li Yan was silent for a while: "Since I have lost my surname, I will call myself by my given name."

"From now on there will be no more Li Yan, only Yan Daoren."

Li Yan looked calm. All he wanted next was to break through the realm of True Lord as soon as possible and get his surname back.

Lingjun nodded and threw a golden token to Li Yan.

"Since you have concealed your surname and your past is gone, you should temporarily work in the Demon Subduing Division from now on!"

"This is an order from the head of the Bozhou Demon Subduing Division. From now on, you will be the head of the Bozhou Demon Subduing Division. With your performance today, I'm sure you won't let me down."

Li Yan subconsciously reached out to take the token. Looking at the golden token with the words "subdue demons" engraved on it, he asked in surprise, "Thank you, Senior Lingjun, for your kindness. But with my ability, how can I be the head of a state's demon-subduing department? Isn't this position a bit too high?"

His current real strength is only a hundred years of cultivation, which is not far from the six-spirits realm, but it will take a lot of time to reach the seven-spirits realm.

"The average Demon Subduing Division Chief is only at the Six Souls stage. With your current strength, you are more than qualified to be the Chief of a state."

"I see."

Li Yan nodded slightly, as if thinking about something.

In his eyes, the Six Souls Realm did not seem to be that high.

He himself is about to possess the equivalent of the Six Souls Realm.

But in fact, those who have reached the realm of four or five souls are already considered high-level practitioners.

In ordinary states, Liupo is the top practitioner.

As for the Seven Souls Realm, even in the entire Liang State, he is a well-known figure.

Li Yan didn't expect that he would become the chief of the Demon-Subduing Department of a state with just one leap.

He originally felt that he had learned too few magic spells, and planned to go to Bozhou to join the Demon-Subduing Bureau and learn more powerful magic spells.

The order given by Lingjun to become the chief of the Demon-Subduing Department was just right.

As the chief of the Demon-Subduing Department, you shouldn't have to pay contributions just to read some spells, right?

"I see that you have a talent for swordsmanship."

"In this token, there is also a flying sword named Mo Yuan that I gave you." "This sword was originally a spiritual treasure, but it lost its sword spirit and has now fallen to the level of a magic weapon."

"If you get a suitable demon spirit in the future and refine it into the sword, you may be able to restore it to the spiritual treasure level."

"Thank you, Senior Lingjun!"

Li Yan looked overjoyed. He did not expect that in addition to the Demon-Subduing Division Chief Token, Lingjun also prepared such a generous gift for him.

A flying sword of spiritual treasure level, even if it falls to the level of magic weapon, is definitely enough for him to use.

Now, only seventy or eighty of the golden needles on his body were left, and the only magical weapon-level peach wood sword was also damaged by his use.

Now that I have the Mo Yuan Flying Sword, I finally have a weapon I can use.

"You helped Hengjiang Prefecture repel the evil cultivators and helped me seal a top-level talisman. This is what you deserve."

Ling Jun continued, "With this sword, you can go to Qingxu Sect to learn swordsmanship. It is the most advanced sword sect in Liang State. Qingxu Sect has ten great sword techniques, and each one is extremely advanced."

Li Yan's heart moved slightly, and he asked, "Am I not a member of the Demon Subduing Division now? Can I also join the Qingxu Sect to learn swordsmanship?"

Ling Jun shook his head and said with a smile: "You don't need to join Qingxu Sect. I helped them a favor some time ago. You just need to tell them that I asked you to come, and they will let you learn sword."

Li Yan said gratefully: "Thank you, Senior Lingjun."

Without the help of Lingjun, no matter how talented he was, he would probably not be able to escape the fate of being cursed.

Although the Heavenly Dao Monument sounded like encouragement to practitioners who were about to break through to the True Lord realm, it actually brought a deep sense of malice to Li Yan.

Even a cultivator like him who is protected by powerful human beings still has to change the cause and effect to avoid the curse.

If an ordinary casual cultivator were to appear on the Heavenly Dao Ranking, his fate would probably be even more miserable.

"You still need to walk the road ahead by yourself. I see that you have excellent aptitude for cultivation, and are no less capable than the reincarnated True Lord. But countless geniuses have failed in the realm of Soul Fixation. Even if you are the reincarnation of the True Lord of Soul Fixation, it is extremely difficult to return to that realm, so you must not be careless."

"Junior knows."

Li Yan nodded, looking solemn.

He understood his true nature and sensed his soul, and felt somewhat complacent.

But under the guidance of Lingjun, he decided to restrain himself.

After all, he hasn't really broken through to the True Lord level yet. Everything is uncertain. Any accident may cause him to fail in settling his soul. It is not a good thing to show off too much.

“Remember, follow your heart.”

Lingjun's words were full of profound meaning. Li Yan fell into deep thought. By the time he reacted, Lingjun had disappeared.

"Master Yan, let me take you down."

Long Jun flew under Li Yan and said to Li Yan.

"Thank you, Senior Long Jun."

Li Yan was not polite. He put away his magical power to break the limit. His cultivation level instantly dropped from two hundred years to one hundred years, and his aura also became somewhat weak.

“Is it the life span that is consumed?”

He felt that the vitality in his body had weakened a lot.

His fifty years of cultivation had awakened his second soul, and he was full of vitality. Unlike ordinary two-soul cultivators, his life span had increased by at least thirty years.

But now the extra 30 years of life expectancy have almost been consumed.

but.

Although his lifespan was consumed, his life spirit was revealed and the path to becoming a True Lord was less bumpy. It was hard to say whether it was a loss or a gain for him.

The Dragon King laughed and said, "There is no need to be polite between you and me. If you hadn't taken action just now, I would have died from burning dragon blood."

"And it is thanks to you that I can meet Ling Jun today. I just received the teachings from Ling Jun, and it will be a smooth journey for me to enter the realm of Demon Lord in the future. Even if I become a Demon King and turn into a real dragon, I will have a chance."
