Starting with Taoist priests from Maoshan to cultivate immortality

Qingfeng Temple, outside the courtyard.

Seven or eight blue wolf demons, each the size of a calf and with blue fur, nimbly vaulted over the two-meter-high wall.

Leading the pack was the leader of the Azure Wolf Demons, who was at the peak of the first level of Qi Refining. It was twice the size of an ordinary Azure Wolf Demon.

Upon entering the courtyard, it let out a low growl of dissatisfaction as it looked at the scattered and disorganized blue wolf demon.

The blue wolf demons' eyes showed fear, and they lined up in neat rows on either side.

The leader of the blue wolf demons was finally satisfied, and walked forward with its four paws swaying, like a general reviewing his troops.

The leader growled again, and the blue wolf demons, their eyes gleaming with cold light, surrounded the carriage from all sides.

The cart was, after all, just an ordinary horse.

The mere scent of the demon wolf was enough to make its eyes widen in panic, and it leaped up on its hind legs, trying to break the reins and escape.

The leader of the blue wolf demons let out a short hiss from its nostrils; it loved the fear that its prey released when it struggled.

With a slight lift of its paw, the horse struggled even more, the veins on its neck bulging out, and it foamed at the mouth.

The leader of the blue wolf demons let out a smug chuckle.

As a leader, it hadn't been this happy in a long time.

As the weakest creatures in this mountain forest, they were often bullied, especially by the troublesome bear demon on the carriage.

Last winter, they only wanted to eat the hibernating bear demon to fill their stomachs, but it resisted and they almost lost their lives.

Thinking of this, it couldn't help but touch the long scar under its eye with its paw.

Now, his enemy has been killed, dismembered, and piled up here.

The leader of the blue wolf demons trembled with excitement. It wanted to devour the bear demon's flesh and blood piece by piece to avenge the injury to its eyes.

As for the Taoist temple, it didn't care at all.

Since the old Taoist priest disappeared, only a lowly human at the first level of Qi Refining has lived here, and any one of its subordinates could easily kill him.

Looking around at its surroundings, it thought that making this its new nest wouldn't be bad.

Inadvertently, it noticed that the seven or eight blue wolf demons under its command all stood on end and arched their bodies.

The leader of the blue wolf demons exhaled a thick stream of white vapor from his nostrils, his face showing displeasure:

These good-for-nothings are becoming increasingly disobedient.

It had already made up its mind that the bear demon's flesh and blood would be enjoyed by the wolf alone.

As it turned around, a small, thin human appeared behind it, waving a ball of light at it.

It's sizzling!

An electric arc struck the leader of the blue wolf demons between the eyebrows, causing his limbs to stiffen and him to collapse to the ground with a thud.

A thick arc of electricity crackled in Jiang Yu's hand as he stepped over the corpse of the Azure Wolf Demon leader, his tone icy:

"A mere bunch of lowly demons at the first level of Qi Refining dare to run wild in my Daoist temple!"

"None of you will escape tonight; you'll all stay and be used to make wolf-hair brushes!"

The remaining blue wolf demons were filled with fear in their eyes, like defeated dogs, tucking their tails between their legs and trying to escape.

As Jiang Yu stood up, palm lightning simultaneously erupted from both of his palms.

Immediately, a series of mournful wails echoed through the courtyard.

……

Five minutes later.

Jiang Yu fetched a basin of water and washed the remaining blood off his hands.

They cut off the tail of the wolf demon leader, the fur from the bear demon's belly, leaving behind wolf corpses scattered on the ground, and entered the room.

His current cultivation level has been verified, especially the capacity of his dantian for spiritual energy, which is truly amazing for a magic cultivator.

He planned to draw a few more talismans to prepare for tomorrow's task.

Bear demon hide and wolf hair brushes are both top-quality materials for writing talismans.

Jiang Yu spent half an hour processing it and then officially began making the talisman.

"I almost forgot about it!" Jiang Yu shook his head and picked up the Enlightenment Stone that was radiating light.

Spiritual energy was injected into it, and the Enlightenment Stone transformed into a stream of light that entered Jiang Yu's body.

Suddenly, his mind cleared, and he gained a deeper understanding of the art of talismans.

The art of talisman making is about harnessing the power of heaven and earth for one's own use.

Jiang Yu prepared the cinnabar, took a long breath, and wielded the wolf-hair brush with flowing, dynamic strokes.

With the enhancement from the Enlightenment Stone and the support of demon beast materials, he can now draw a low-grade talisman in an hour.

Keep in mind that it used to take him a whole day to complete just one sheet.

During this period, you must concentrate fully and cannot eat, drink, or go to the toilet.

On several occasions, he couldn't help but urinate, which was a double torment for him.

There's nothing we can do; cultivators in the Qi Refining stage can't abstain from grains.

Over the course of the night, Jiang Yu drew a total of three low-grade Vajra Talismans, two low-grade Manifestation Talismans, and two low-grade 'Yang Flame Talismans' that he had never drawn before.

His spiritual energy had long been exhausted, but fortunately, Jia'er's half of a mid-grade spirit stone served as a supplement.

This half of the spirit stone has been very useful; now only a trace of spiritual energy remains inside.

Jiang Yu showed no reluctance; resources are meant to be used.

In addition to the increased efficiency in making talismans, his talisman-making skills have also improved considerably. After drawing ten more, he will be able to reach the "minor success" level and make more advanced talismans.

Not to brag, but with his skills, any talisman shop owner would be eager to hire him.

Although we have the wolf demon tail and bear demon skin as supplementary materials, we have exhausted all other materials for crafting talismans.

Jiang Yu stopped writing there, preparing to sell the demon corpse in the courtyard the next day, and then go to the "Xuanfu Zhai" in the county to purchase a batch of materials.

On the path of cultivation, the greatest taboo is laziness.

Jiang Yu returned to his room, circulated the Shangqing Zhengqi Technique, and continued his cultivation.

goooo...

Jiang Yu's stomach started rumbling less than five minutes after he closed his eyes.

He raised one eyebrow and straightened his body.

"My master once said that the most important thing for a cultivator is composure. How can one waste time for a moment of peace in one's internal organs?"

Glug glug...

My stomach is getting louder and louder.

Jiang Yu opened his eyes and patted his belly:

"That's not right. If you can't even satisfy your own stomach, how can you expect to attain enlightenment?"

"Master must be possessed by an evil spirit... Yes, that must be it." Jiang Yu comforted himself.

He took a kitchen knife outside and rubbed it back and forth on the well platform with a clanging sound.

When it was almost done, it was raised in mid-air, aimed at the moon, the blade gleaming coldly.

Having just woken up terrified, Fanma foamed at the mouth again and fainted.

Jiang Yu rolled his eyes dramatically. "You're crazy!"

He arrived in front of a blue wolf demon, preparing to skin it.

His arm suddenly stopped in mid-air... Wasn't there bear demon meat that Zhao Lei had cut up in the car?

Damn, what a waste of effort!

……

The next day, at the exact time of Chen (7-9 AM).

A golden light flashed in Jiang Yu's eyes, and three golden copper coins appeared, with three lines of text from left to right:

"Dangerous Mission [Catch Demons and Exterminate Evil]: Slay the murderers and thieves who steal cultivators."

"Intermediate Quest [Worldly Affairs]: Decipher the mystery of the incomplete seal script."

"Daily Task [Do a Good Deed Every Day]: Punish the Scammers in the Market."

Jiang Yu quickly glanced at the tasks and muttered to himself:

"The information is somewhat vague, but it must be closely related to today's trip to the market."

Boom boom boom!

Just then, a loud pounding sound came from outside the door.

Zhao Lei's gruff voice came in:

"Brother Jiang, open the door quickly!"

"You got here pretty quickly!"

Jiang Yu opened the gate and saw Zhao Lei with an afro driving a horse-drawn carriage.

After a night's rest, the redness and swelling on his face had subsided considerably, but obvious bruising was still visible.

Jiang Yu felt quite embarrassed, thinking that he shouldn't have hit so hard yesterday.

Zhao Lei grinned and said with a simple smile:

"Brother Jiang, your Taoist temple is even more dilapidated than when I last visited!"

Jiang Yu's face darkened:

"You didn't hit hard enough!"

His guilt vanished completely, and he urged her to come inside quickly.

boom!

Hearing the loud slam of the door, Zhao Lei realized he had said the wrong thing.

He led the carriage into Qingfeng Temple, offering words of praise as a way of making amends:

"The interior is quite elegant!"

next moment.

He stared wide-eyed at the scattered corpses of the blue wolf demons on the ground, and shouted:

"Holy crap, what happened here?"
