After practicing Qi for a thousand years, one can finally become a god!

Chapter 98: Getting Rich Suddenly [1st update, please give me a monthly ticket! ]

That night.

Qi Sheng held a whisk in his hand, responding to the immortal light descending upon the earth.

"The humble Taoist respectfully welcomes the Supreme God."

Taoist Wu remained respectful. After greeting Qi Sheng, he reported, "I've been asking around and have learned that if you go east from here, there's a huge city about two hundred miles away called Jianyang."

"There are four great families in Jianyang City: the Du, Ruan, Lan, and Min. The 'Burning Ghost' in this 'Flame Mountain' was raised by the Du family, one of the four families, specifically for use in cultivating the ancestral 'Fire Virtue True Art'."

Taoist Wu could not hide his anger when he mentioned this matter.

He originally thought that it was ghosts that were harming people, and that the Flaming Mountain was an accident. Who knew that it was actually the work of the 'Du Family' who were also born as humans.

frenzied!

Qi Sheng's heart skipped a beat when he heard this.

Raising ghosts?
Killing the people of an entire town just for the children of aristocratic families to practice?
"The Jianyang Du family."

Qi Sheng remembered that this was not good.

However, both Jianyang and the Du family are still far away for the time being. What he has to do now is to extinguish the ghost fire in the "Flame Mountain" as soon as possible.

"go!"

Qi Sheng flew out, holding a whisk and walked to the edge of the mountain. He waved it with all his strength, and the flames of the Flaming Mountain subsided and the light disappeared.

Qi Sheng was delighted, and waved his hand again. There was only the sound of the wind blowing gently, and the mountain fire and the ghost fire retreated backwards.

Then came the third blow. He used up all his magic power, stood on the top of the mountain, looked around and swung his hand fiercely. The sky was filled with dark clouds and drizzle fell. This blow finally extinguished the ghost fire completely, and the huge Flame Mountain disappeared.

The fire disappeared, and the mountain reappeared.

The earth and rocks are charred and no grass grows.

When the spring breeze blows next year, birds and animals fly over, and the seeds of plants and flowers fall, within a few years the mountain will be full of flowers and grass again, no longer the ghost town it once was.

"Great virtue of the Supreme God!"

Taoist Wu saw Qi Sheng's magical powers, but he was not shocked by them. Instead, he was surprised and moved that there was one less ghost area in the world. "On behalf of the 8,600 people of Tianshui Town, I bow down to thank the gods for their great grace and kindness!"

Taoist Wu knelt on the ground and wept bitterly.

Qi Sheng sighed, not knowing what to say. He shook his head, completed the task, and left the world.

……

[Coordinates: Demon Realm]

[Introduction: Tianshui Town in the Demon Realm was originally peaceful and harmonious...]

[Difficulty: First Realm·★★★★☆]

Rating: ★★★★★; After more than nine months of hard work, you first completely eliminated the blazing ghosts entrenched in Flame Mountain, and then completely extinguished the will-o'-the-wisp fire within it, bringing peace and tranquility to the land. This achievement is truly remarkable. A poem bears witness to this: "Flame Mountain harbors eight thousand ghosts, its flames renowned across the land. Fire simmers the Five Leaks, making the elixir difficult to brew; fire burns the Three Gates, obscuring the path. A clear mirror reveals the ghosts' true form; fortunately, a whisk extinguishes the will-o'-the-wisp fire, bringing peace to the world."

Reward: 131072 Merits

……

"It's finally over."

Qi Sheng's return finally lifted a huge stone from his heart.

The 'Flaming Mountain' that had troubled him for more than nine months was finally extinguished today.

From using the 'Yang Sheng Fist' to stalk outside the mountain and kill the burning ghosts, to using the 'Sitting on Fire Technique' to walk deep into the Flame Mountain, to using the 'Ghost Revealing Technique' to wipe out all the ghosts in the mountain, to today relying on the Disha magic weapon 'Zhu Fu' to finally extinguish the ghost fire in the Flame Mountain.

Finally, the merit is fulfilled.

Finally completed the mission.

This battle lasted for a long time. Even without counting the rewards at the last moment, Qi Sheng had gained more than 100,000 merits in the previous nine months.

It can be said that Flaming Mountain watched him grow up.

And now for the last time—

"Thirteen thousand merits."

"It finally quenches my thirst temporarily."

Qi Sheng took a look at some of his current projects that were waiting to be implemented——

The Book of the Dead, this fundamental method of immortality, is just like a forty-year-old mature woman, who is as fierce as a wolf and a tiger and can never be satisfied.

【Dead Man’s Sutra——】

[Level 1 (Foundation Building): Mastery]

[Second Stage (Vipassana): Mastery] (Perfection of the Fifth Stage, Concentration of Mind)
[The third level (opening the meridians)——]

[Ninth level (locating acupuncture points): proficient] (+)

……

"First, master the remaining three realms of the third level."

Qi Sheng has clear ideas.

"The Book of the Dead" is related to your Taoism and magic power. If conditions permit, you should upgrade it. Upgrading it as early as possible will help you increase your magic power sooner and make it last longer.

But this consumption is really distressing——

[Tenth Level (Passing the Sutra): Getting Started (0/10000)] (+)

[11th level (Aiki): Getting Started (0/11000)] (+)

[Twelfth Level (Opening Meridians): Entry (0/12000)] (+)

……

Qi Sheng worked hard for 33,000 years and practiced the "Book of the Dead" until he had thoroughly mastered the three realms after the third level.

From then on, Qi Sheng became a cultivator of the fourth realm of the third level, and was gradually catching up with Wang Ling and Hu Chong. He was only two levels away from Jiang Shu, the fourth and fifth levels.

"I'm fast enough!"

But still slow.

If Qi Sheng wants to advance from the third level to the fourth level, he still needs to work very hard for 84,000 times. Only after he has fully grasped the essence of the four realms of the third level can he advance to the fourth level.

The remaining skills he had were barely enough, but it was unnecessary.

"My mana limit has now increased to 120 years, but I've only cultivated it for over seventy years. I still have a lot of room for improvement."

This is the "Book of the Dead" for now, and my cultivation is enough for now.

The remaining 98072 gong——

"I can't practice the 'Energy Saving Technique' for the time being."

"As for other spells."

Not in a hurry.

There's no rush. "Times are different now."

"At the beginning, my strength was low, and with the 'Energy Saving Technique' I could improve it as much as I wanted without any hindrance. That's why I used it whenever I could. As long as it could improve my strength, every bit of strength was crucial."

At that time, Qi Sheng had no idea how to save his achievements.

But it's different now.

"As my strength increases, I now have a certain foundation and am capable of protecting myself."

"I'm afraid of encountering means to restrain me."

"I'll save my skills and collect more spells. That way, no matter what situation I encounter, I can adapt to it and quickly master the corresponding spells to break the deadlock."

Now it's another strategy.

The more spell reserves you have, the better.

The more gong you have left, the better.

"Stop the Wind", "Open the Wall", "Illusionary Light", "Five Lustful Magics of the Devil in the Heavens", "The Art of Harassment on Three Peaks", "Mountain Driving", and the incomplete "Art of Seven Returns".

This is Qi Sheng’s spell inventory.

……

That night.

While Qi Sheng and others were recuperating in Wangwei Ridge, the Han family was in a gloomy mood in Wanku Ridge of Changwei Mountain, a hundred miles away.

"Xiao's Twin Ghosts."

"Three Swords of Nanzhu."

"The Seven Demons of the Flower Clan."

"Nine Cocktail Brothers."

Han Yun counted them off carefully, "These are our fellow Westerners who came to our Han family to lend a hand. Some had already entered the mountains and were then sent out to investigate the situation and were killed. Others were intercepted and killed on their way here."

"This is just what we know. We don't know how many other people have died inexplicably."

"Plus the eleven deceased elders."

"My Han family suffered heavy casualties!"

Han Yun's tone was heavy. She was the younger sister of the head of the family, Han Fu. She had been practicing Taoism and swordsmanship since she was young. Although her strength was not as good as her elder brother Han Fu, she was not inferior to her second brother Han Wei. In the Han family, she was considered a figure in terms of status and strength.

The third aunt of the Han family used to travel all over the country with high spirits, but now she only feels powerless and desperate.

"Too deceiving!"

When Mrs. Wang heard about the casualties, she was furious, but she could only rage helplessly.

aside.

Wang Chongsu, the current head of the Songxi Wang family, frowned and said, "When your sister-in-law and I were on our way to Wankuling, we heard that your sister and the Yanyue Bajing were also heading towards Changwei Mountain. They were stopping at the Mingxu Sect seven or eight days ago. Calculating the time, they should arrive in the next day or two."

Wang Chongsu has no brothers, only two sisters. The elder one is Master Jingyin of Yanyue Temple, and the younger one is Madam Wang of the Han family.

Mrs. Wang was anxious when she heard this. "The situation outside the mountain is so tense right now. The Han family elders can't even come or go. Eleven of them have died, including the 'Xiao Family Twin Ghosts' and the 'Three Swords of Nanzhu'. How can my sister come here now?"

That’s it!

Wang Chongsu sighed, "I'm worried about her safety, so I'm thinking of going out with your sister-in-law to meet her."

Mrs. Wang heard this and said anxiously, "This is inappropriate!"

Now there are monsters everywhere outside Wankuling. If anyone from the Han family goes out, they will die. How dare they let their brother and sister-in-law go out and take risks?

Wang Chongsu's wife's maiden name was Qin. She was dignified and generous. She said, "If we go out alone, we'll just die. Jingyin is now the head of a nunnery, so she should know her limits."

She is more rational and doesn't want to die.

"Ugh!"

Wang Chongsu saw that his sister and wife did not agree. He sighed and thought about the current situation of the Han family, which made him even more worried.

Mrs. Wang was also worried.

She looked towards the people in the hall and suddenly frowned: "Where is Madam Gong?"

Han Zhi replied, "My daughter just saw her go to a secret place."

While talking.

Gong Lan walked over gracefully. Mrs. Wang looked at her, frowned slightly, and seemed to want to say something but hesitated in the end.

Gong Lan said, "The master has sent a message, asking everyone to be patient. He is currently casting a spell to make the demons outside the mountain lose their composure and kill each other."

Han Ping asked hastily, "What's the method?"

Gong Lan was about to say something when she suddenly paused and pointed outside the hall and said, "It's begun."

What to start with?
Everyone hurried out of the hall and looked up, only to see surging sword light. A total of six layers of sword energy shot out in six directions.

This sword energy is very familiar to many members of the Han family present—

"Eight Swords of Sorrowful Clouds!"

"The Patriarch threw out the eight swords?"

"Why?!"

Everyone was shocked.

Eight Swords of Sorrow?

When Wang Chongsu heard this and looked at what was happening, he and his wife exchanged a glance, and the couple immediately guessed Han Fu's intention.

But they don't have to guess.

Han Fu has already said——

"Fellow Daoists from all directions, Han Fu is polite."

"'Eight Swords of Sorrow' are the secret key to unlocking the Han family's Immortal Palace. Now I will release six of these swords. Whoever obtains one can enter the Myriad Caves Ridge and unlock the Immortal Palace with my Han family."

"I have two swords in my hand. No matter who comes to take the head of Yuan Duzi, the head of the Lishan Sect, I will definitely offer one of them."

"If someone attacks forcefully, the Han family, who have managed Wanku Ridge for over a hundred years, have a secret method to cause the mountain to collapse, causing the immortal residence to fall into the magma of the underground fire forever, and it will be difficult for it to emerge again for hundreds of years."

"I advise you all not to rush into any conflict. Just go and search for the sword in peace."

"Han awaits your good news."

The sword energy is clanging and the sound is clanging.

Han Fu's words were earth-shattering.
