I will traverse countless worlds and become a god entirely on my own!

After discussing the philosophy, the two steered the conversation to other topics.

"Fellow Daoist, there's a demon and a female ghost around you. Should we deal with them both?"

The female ghost Dong Xiaoyu and that chimpanzee are both ready-made acts of merit.

Are there monsters around us?

He had lived in Renjia Town for many years and genuinely had no idea that there were monsters or ghosts in the area.

Bai Ye has only been here a short time, yet he already knows the situation in this area like the back of his hand.

"Yes, there's a gorilla spirit in the back mountain, and a female ghost named Dong Xiaoyu. Just perform a ritual to help her pass on to the afterlife!"

"Alright, then I'll go with you tomorrow!"

Uncle Nine nodded, also wanting to see the spirits and female ghosts Bai Ye had mentioned.

Seeing an opportunity to curry favor, Awei quickly stood up and said, "I'll go with you. Our security team can help look for them!"

His eagerness was naturally intended to impress Bai Ye and make him look at him with new eyes, hoping that Bai Ye would take him as his disciple in the future.

Wouldn't that mean he and Ren Tingting would become senior and junior brothers, or at the very least, senior sister and junior brother?

"Ahem, Uncle Jiu, I have a question. Since this zombie was cultivated by that feng shui master, will he come back to take it back?"

The feng shui master is a character who doesn't appear in the movie, but since such a good burial site nurtured a zombie like Ren Weiyong, he naturally couldn't just abandon it.

Either he's dead, or he was killed by Uncle Nine before he could reclaim the treasure. But either way, the feng shui master is always a hidden danger. Ever since he plotted against Old Master Ren twenty years ago, he has already fallen into evil ways.

"No way? That feng shui master isn't dead yet?"

Master Ren originally intended to rest, but he decided to stay and listen to what Bai Ye and Uncle Jiu were discussing. Unexpectedly, he overheard this news.

"We don't know if he's dead or not, but since the other party nurtured Old Master Ren, it's possible that they've fallen into evil ways. And most people in evil ways try to prolong their lives, so no one can be sure!"

If we're talking about who's least willing to die, then it's naturally the evil path.

Moreover, after a good burial plot is snatched away, the feng shui master might really go down a different path from that moment on. But this is also the cause of Old Master Ren's actions!

"Don't panic, it's just a guess."

“Fellow Daoist, I think this is indeed something we need to be careful about. Perhaps you haven’t been down the mountain for very long, so you’re not fully aware of it yet, but we at Maoshan and Longhushan have already noticed the presence of some heretical sects. They are very dangerous.”

Uncle Nine looked at Bai Ye with a serious expression and said.

Besides Mr. Ren, only Qiu Sheng, Wen Cai, Awei, and Ren Tingting were present.

The rest of the security team went to rest.

After some deliberation, Uncle Nine decided not to hide anything. Although Ah Wei was unscrupulous, he wasn't inherently bad. Master Ren might be the person being retaliated against, and Ren Tingting was Bai Ye's disciple, so Uncle Nine was prepared to reveal some information about this matter.

Those heretical sects have now gained considerable influence. Hundreds of years ago, the struggle between Taoism and the demonic sects ended with the victory of Taoism and the large-scale purge of the demonic sects. However, in Qing Dynasty, the demonic sects seem to have revived. In this chaotic era, the demonic sects seem to be even more rampant, and they are not even willing to hide anymore.

Perhaps the world was too chaotic, or perhaps there was something else, Uncle Nine wasn't quite sure. In any case, at this time, Bai Ye actually needed to fight for himself, because Bai Ye was very strong!

It seems that another battle between the Dao and the Demonic is about to begin.

P.S.: I was held up by some things during the day, but I'm working hard on it now. I'll be updating a lot more after it's published, so don't worry.

(End of this chapter)

Chapter 57 Lottery! The rewards are simply unbeatable!

"Brother Dao, in my opinion, this is a choice made by the world!"

Bai Ye sighed. In the end, ever since Liu Bowen severed the dragon vein, there have indeed been many more unorthodox paths in this world.

Because the spiritual energy for cultivation is dwindling, a genius like Uncle Nine might have already reached the level of a Celestial Master in other dynasties. However, as spiritual energy becomes increasingly scarce, many people have started to have wicked ideas.

Whether it's to avoid death or to accelerate cultivation, the evil path relies on less spiritual energy than the righteous path in cultivation. However, the evil path often commits heinous acts, and many of the methods to accelerate cultivation require human lives to be sacrificed.

"Does fellow Daoist also understand the heretical path?"

Uncle Nine looked at Bai Ye in surprise, and Bai Ye shook his head and quickly explained, "No, it's just that there will only be more and more evil people emerging in this world, but if there is any need, I will also take action!"

Killing evil spirits brings merit, and Bai Ye probably guessed that the feng shui master was probably not dead.

Judging from the way Old Master Ren behaved in the movie, he was simply not capable of evolving into this grotesque state.

At first, Old Master Ren was very weak, but later he only drank the blood of a few people and a gorilla. Even with the blood of his close relatives and spirits, it was simply unbelievable that a zombie could evolve intelligence with such a small amount of blood. It was completely beyond the evolutionary process of a zombie.

Based on this speculation, when Old Master Ren was seriously injured, someone must have provided him with 'nutrients', which is why he was fattened up.

Later, when they appeared, Old Master Ren not only had eyesight but also intelligence. If it weren't for Master Si Mu and the kerosene lamp, they probably would have all been defeated by Old Master Ren.

"Master, I have a question!"

Qiu Sheng quickly raised his hand to ask a question.

"explain."

Uncle Nine nodded in satisfaction. Regardless of whether Qiu Sheng's decision was impulsive or not, he was very pleased with Qiu Sheng's attitude.

"Master, why do you practice heretical methods?"

If evil paths are hunted down by righteous paths, then it's better to cultivate the righteous path.

"Corpses are divided into zombies and dead bodies, and people are divided into good people and bad people. A corpse becomes a zombie because it has gained a breath, while a person becomes bad because he is weak and useless."

Uncle Nine raised an eyebrow, nearly bursting with anger at Qiu Sheng's foolish question.

This apprentice really knows how to pick questions for himself; even a fool would know how to answer them, right?

"Actually, the evil path can lead to quick success, but it will make you look like a monster. So some people who want to take shortcuts will choose the evil path. Feng shui masters are actually forced into it by Master Ren. If Master Ren hadn't threatened them, perhaps the feng shui master would have been buried long ago."

Hearing Bai Ye's words, Master Ren could only smile awkwardly. He then raised his hand in a gesture of swearing, saying, "Don't worry, Master Bai, I will start doing good deeds after I go back tomorrow!"

Compared to his own father, Master Ren, though not a good man, had not done anything bad either.

Now it's not just about atoning for his father's sins, but also about accumulating merit for Ren Tingting.

Anyway, Ren Tingting went to cultivate Taoism, so there weren't many concerns for the Ren family afterward.

“Master Ren, here you go. Consider this my gift to Tingting as her apprenticeship present. This talisman will protect you, and I will sense when it is destroyed and come to your rescue once.”

Master Ren probably only had one enemy: the feng shui master.

Bai Ye handed a talisman to Master Ren. If a feng shui master came to Master Ren next time, he could easily resolve the issue. If not, this talisman could at least give Master Ren some peace of mind.

"Thank you, Taoist Master."

Master Ren carefully accepted the talisman handed over by Bai Ye. Awei, who was standing to the side, also looked at Bai Ye expectantly, hoping that Bai Ye could give him one, but Bai Ye pretended not to see it.

Awei doesn't have many enemies. Even if he did, they would have died on their own. Giving them to him would only embolden Awei.

"The plan failed. Your zombie was killed as soon as it appeared."

Inside a cave not far from Renjia Town, several men in black were gathered together discussing something. One of them made a joke to a gaunt old man.

Originally, I came here to retrieve the super zombies he had planted.

The feng shui master had been looking forward to the zombies cultivated in those auspicious tombs for a long time, but this time, before he could even implement his plan, the other party had already eliminated the zombies.

"Shenxiao Sect! Didn't you plan ahead before you acted?! That brat's lightning magic is effective against zombies. That zombie does have potential; I saw it before. But how powerful can a newly born zombie be?!"

Ren Weiyong does have potential, everyone knows that, but he hasn't even grown yet, so what's the use of having potential!

"But there was nothing we could do. Who knew that as soon as they dug out the coffin, they would take Ren Fa to the mortuary and wait for Ren Weiyong to come out!"

The feng shui master secretly regretted that he should have dug up the grave earlier, so that he could at least take Ren Weiyong away and enslave him for eternity.

The feng shui master hated Ren Weiyong to the core. If he hadn't already been buried in that cemetery, his descendants would have been protected by him. But after Ren Weiyong took that cemetery, his life trajectory was completely changed.

He turned from the righteous path to the evil path, becoming someone everyone hated. Because of his practice of evil methods, his son, daughter-in-law, and grandson all died.

He naturally wanted the Ren family to suffer the same fate as him; he wanted the entire Ren family wiped out. But he never expected that the matter would be resolved so easily.

"Lin Jiu of Maoshan and the leader of Shenxiao Sect are here. This operation has failed, and Ren Weiyong is gone too. Let's go!"

Now that things here are completely over, there's no need to stay any longer.

Hearing this, the feng shui master was also somewhat unwilling: "Can't we work together? If we turn those two Taoists into zombies, wouldn't that be more powerful than Ren Weiyong?"

"Are you crazy? Now is not the time to fight the Daoist sect head-on. If you want revenge, there is no need to rush. We brought plenty of resources with us. We originally came to feed the zombies, but since the zombies are dead, we will only be exposed if we go there. So we might as well leave these for that royal family on the frontier!"

One of them immediately rejected the feng shui master's suggestion, his expression changing instantly.

Although they are showing signs of resurgence nowadays, and the Taoist sect is constantly declining, they are inevitably declining along with it, which is caused by the times.

"Oh right, we can also try to control those generals. No matter how powerful a Taoist priest is, he's afraid of guns. We should take advantage of that!"

The person in the lead was clearly the leader, and no matter how unwilling the feng shui master was, he could only obey the arrangement.

"If you want to take revenge, you can wait until that Shenxiao Sect member leaves. Anyway, Ren Fa won't leave, and Lin Jiu can't keep an eye on him forever. We can find an opportunity at any time. There's no need to make a move now. By the way, we need to retrieve that copper-armored corpse and the Miao Jiang zombie as soon as possible. Otherwise, if the Daoist sects notice, the losses will be huge!"

Compared to Ren Weiyong, the other zombies were clearly more worthy of their attention.

"I understand. I'll take my revenge after they leave!"

"Okay, let's leave here first!"

With that, the group hurriedly followed the night and left Renjia Town.

Before leaving, the feng shui master took one last look at Renjia Town and secretly vowed that when he returned next time, he would definitely massacre the entire Ren family.

The next day, Bai Ye and Uncle Jiu arrived at the back mountain. First, they performed a ritual to send Dong Xiaoyu to the underworld. Then, when dealing with the gorilla, Uncle Jiu felt that the gorilla had not done anything bad and was not inherently evil; it was just hiding in the mountains to cultivate. So, they took the gorilla back to the mortuary.

The main reason was that Uncle Jiu was a little envious of the two intelligent pets that Bai Ye kept.

Since I can't rely on my disciples, I might as well adopt a spirit myself.

Ren Tingting went home to pack her things, preparing to leave Renjia Town with Bai Ye.

"Tingting, you must listen to your teacher when you're on the mountain, okay?"

Ren Fa gave her instructions, knowing that Ren Tingting was spoiled by him and sometimes had a bit of a spoiled princess temper, but she couldn't offend his teacher after going up the mountain.

"Don't worry, Dad. I know. I will follow my teacher's instructions and cultivate diligently. You should take good care of yourself at home."

Since Ren Tingting had decided to go up the mountain with Bai Ye, she naturally prepared to cultivate.

Moreover, she had a very deep impression of Bai Ye's move back then. It turned out that all of this was not fake, and Taoist arts were truly something to aspire to.

Most importantly, cultivation can preserve youth forever, or at least slow down aging and extend one's lifespan.

No woman can resist eternal youth, especially someone like Ren Tingting.
