Having mastered the Daoist arts, you're telling me you're in a world of demons and monster

Upon hearing Jiang Xuanjing's voice, Zhao Wuduan felt as if he had received an imperial edict and happily accepted the order.

Inside the quiet room, Jiang Xuanjing was engrossed in studying the newly acquired "Shangqing Jiuchen Zhenxuan Baolu" from beginning to end.

Compared to all external affairs, all the mundane matters of the world are ultimately insignificant compared to the fundamental principle of one's own path.

If one's cultivation is insufficient, even if one has the heart to slay demons and eliminate evil, how can one talk about protecting the path and questioning the Great Dao?

Perhaps it was because of his exceptional nature and profound understanding.

In just a few hours, he had already entered the gate and even deciphered some of the mysteries within the treasure talisman.

But the surrounding void was filled with swirling energy waves, as if it had come alive.

Furthermore, characters appeared, almost as if life were dancing in the void, shining brightly.

This is the Shangqing True Text.

This is the general outline of the "Shangqing Jiuchen Zhenxuan Baolu".

After some contemplation

Jiang Xuanjing, however, retracted his previous opinion.

This precious talisman is indeed worthy of being a product of the Heavenly Book; it is truly extraordinary.

If we speak of the Jade Purity True Scripture, its methods are for cultivation, and its supernatural powers are for protecting the Way.

They possess the ability to fly a thousand miles with a flying sword, and the power of thunder to vanquish evil.

There is also the Golden Light Mantra, which combines divine power with protection.

Furthermore, the Six Hearts Mystery Transformation allows one to discern spiritual opportunities in the present moment.

It is the foundation of seeking the truth and protecting the truth.

This Shangqing Treasure Register would greatly enrich Jiang Xuanjing's abilities.

Just like now...

"Freeze!"

A clear shout.

Jiang Xuanjing extended his right hand, his five fingers spread wide.

All kinds of magical power surged and condensed in the palm of his hand.

Suddenly, a talisman slowly condensed.

The words "metal and stone" are written on it.

This is the Metal and Stone Talisman, which comes from the talismanic methods recorded in the Shangqing Baolu.

Although it is the most basic talisman, it can already turn stone into gold, and even conjure gold and stone out of thin air.

Even with the limited knowledge Jiang Xuanjing gained in his previous world, he could tell that the difficulty involved far exceeded the so-called art of controlling flying swords.

But ironically, this one metal talisman is all it takes to do it.

"go."

Jiang Xuanjing shouted again, and the golden stone talisman that had just been formed in his hand flew out.

It exists between the tangible and the intangible.

It has no physical form, it is an illusory symbol, but such a state cannot exist in the world for long.

Only by obtaining a physical vessel in this world, that is, a talisman drawn with ritual, can it be preserved for a long time.

of course.

Ordinary objects can also be attached, but the duration of their existence is far shorter than that of a drawn talisman.

Therefore, the golden stone talisman passed straight through the walls and rooms and landed on a stubborn rock in the courtyard.

With a flash of golden light, the stubborn rock was instantly transformed into gold!

Besides these, there are various other magical talismans with different functions, such as summoning clouds and rain, sealing mountains and rivers, transmitting sound over thousands of miles, and allowing divine travel over ten thousand miles. Each of them has its own mysteries.

It can even seal Jiang Xuanjing's own Taoist magic and supernatural powers into the talisman, and unleash them to attack and kill enemies when needed.

Although condensing talismans requires mana, the mana consumption during use is negligible.

In this way, if one prepares hundreds or thousands of talismans in advance, wouldn't it be equivalent to hundreds or thousands of Jiang Xuanjings attacking at the same time when encountering a powerful enemy?

As for Lü Zongwang, Commander Lü...

If anything goes wrong, they can be executed at any time.

Why worry so much?

This is why Jiang Xuanjing stayed here.

He cultivates Taoism for his own benefit.

Slaying demons and monsters, unlocking the Heavenly Book—all for my own sake.

The world is vast and boundless.

If you don't get to see it for yourself, wouldn't you have wasted your trip?

To be true to yourself is to do as you please.

Nothing more than that.

……

Meanwhile, Jiang Xuanjing focused on his cultivation.

On the other hand, Zhao Wuduan left in haste and returned even faster.

In less than half an hour, he had already stepped back into his own courtyard.

Including the round trip, the time it took to meet the other party was probably less than a moment before they hurriedly turned back the way they came.

Not only that.

When he went, he only brought about twenty people with him.

Upon their return, the team had suddenly expanded to more than forty people.

Lu Zongwang and his entourage arrived together, making a grand and imposing presence.

"Why bother with all this..."

Zhao Wuduan's expression was gloomy.

When he went to see Lü Zongwang just now, he was surprised to find that Lü Qingchi had also come to Qingshan County, which made his already anxious heart sink even more.

He maintained a facade of politeness with Lü Zongwang and the others, naturally avoiding any mention of Jiang Xuanjing, otherwise it would be tantamount to admitting guilt without being asked.

But some things, after all, cannot be hidden.

Even if Zhao Wuduan didn't say anything, someone among the Xuanjing Division members who accompanied him would inevitably let slip the word.

It was precisely because of this that Lü Zongwang and his group were already aware of the various events that had recently occurred in Qingshan County.

This one is fine too.

However, it's all just superficial work.

At worst, Zhao Wuduan would admit that a mysterious master had saved him, but out of gratitude for being saved, he couldn't say more.

But rather...

"Is that Taoist priest Jiang here?"

Lu Zongwang's smile was gentle, and his tone revealed no sign of anything amiss.

"This is truly a blessing for my Zhangtai Prefecture, to have attracted a highly accomplished Daoist master to stop here, slay demons and monsters, and protect this region..."

"I would be grateful if Commander Zhao could introduce me to you. I will definitely thank you in person and must not neglect such an esteemed person."

His face remained as warm and amiable as ever, but whether he truly believed the words of the Taoist master or had other plans in mind, no one knew.

"This... I can make an introduction, but I cannot make any decisions for Master Jiang. I hope Lord Lü will understand."

Zhao Wuduan said.

"That's to be expected."

Lü Zongwang's smile remained unchanged.

As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Qingchi behind him slightly opened his eyes. His eyes, which were faintly glowing with purple light, seemed to be swept by an invisible spiritual light, but it quickly disappeared, as if he had not noticed anything.

"Lord Lü, please wait a moment. I will go and consult Master Jiang."

Zhao Wuduan's heart sank slightly, but he could only bow and retreat.

"Enter the Tao..."

Lü Zongwang looked at Lü Qingchi and said,

"I know what you're thinking, but it's better to believe it's true than not to believe it's not."

"Please don't be impolite because of this. In any case, this Master Jiang..."

He hesitated for a moment,

"He is no ordinary person."

How could someone who could kill Bai Wuyai be weak?

Even without having entered the Dao, to be able to achieve such a level, and to cause Zhao Wuduan and the others to misunderstand one's cultivation level,

He must be a top figure in the sixth realm of magic.

He came here simply to confirm this matter.

The rest of the matter will be handled by Bai Li.

As for whether she can solve it?

This was not something that Lü Zongwang needed to worry about.

If the demon race cannot accomplish great things.

He remains a commander of the Xuanjing Division of the Great Xin Dynasty!

Lü Qingchi agreed wholeheartedly and nodded in response, "Brother, rest assured, I know what I'm doing."

If what Zhao Wuduan said is true, then he absolutely could not have triggered that strange phenomenon of thunder filling the sky.

Such profound and mysterious supernatural power, if placed at the sixth realm level, would probably only be wielded by the number one true disciple of the entire Heavenly Heart Sect.

The two had a brief conversation.

The main hall fell silent.

After waiting for an unknown amount of time, Zhao Wuduan finally entered the hall, cupped his hands in apology, and said:

"I'm so sorry, Master Jiang is still in seclusion and cultivating. I'm afraid we'll have to trouble you two to wait a little longer."

A show of force!

Lu Zongwang and Lu Qingchi exchanged glances silently.
