Starting with Taoist priests from Maoshan to cultivate immortality

Manager Xia strode towards the wine cellar, muttering angrily:

"If you dare to spout nonsense, I wish you and your wife an extraordinary love, and that after you die, you will go to the Yellow Springs together on the same day, month, and year."

Zhang Tao chuckled and said:

"This is hilarious! This shopkeeper's insults are like blessings!"

Jiang Yu said:

"Xiao Er's wife just celebrated her 70th birthday yesterday!"

"?"

"Awesome!"

Zhang Tao was stunned, his eyes filled with admiration as he looked at the waiter.

"Oh my god, how could this happen? What kind of bastard drank all my wine?"

Manager Xia, with a mournful face, kept jumping up and down in the wine cellar.

Jiang Yu, using this as a pretext, took the initiative to suggest:

"I think there's something strange about this. Let's go down and take a look."

Xie Qiyun nodded in agreement.

Such a strange method could probably only be done by demons and ghosts.

In the cellar, when Manager Xia saw Jiang Yu and the others, he seemed to have met their saviors and pleaded desperately:

"I know you all possess great abilities, so I beg you to find the culprit and help me recover my losses!"

"Otherwise, I would have lost half of my wealth."

Jiang Yu patted Manager Xia on the shoulder:

My condolences!

Shopkeeper Xia waved her hand and continued to cry bitterly, feeling wronged.

"I'm not dead, why are you mourning!"

"I was hoping to make a fortune during the Double Ninth Festival next month, but now I'm doomed."

Zhang Tao stood in front of Manager Xia and said with a deep gaze:

"Don't worry, I will definitely help you find the culprit!"

Shopkeeper Xia's sobs gradually subsided, and he thought to himself:

This fat guy seems unreliable, but he turns out to be an honest and kind person.

Zhang Tao continued:

"However, there will definitely be no time for compensation."

Shopkeeper Xia covered her face and wept bitterly once again.

Inside the cellar, hundreds of wine jars were arranged in close proximity.

As the waiter mentioned earlier, all the wine jars and pots were sealed.

Xie Qiyun gently tapped Zhang Tao with the hilt of his long sword.

He understood immediately, stuck out his belly, stepped forward, made a hand seal, and a black light appeared in his eyes:

"Decree of the Netherworld: All Evils Manifest! Appear!"

Instantly, a constantly moving red demonic aura appeared in his eyes.

This is a unique demon-capturing spell of the Demon Suppression Division, similar to the manifestation talisman of the Maoshan Taoist priests.

Zhang Tao's gaze kept shifting:

"It was indeed the work of a demon; it is currently underground, moving at high speed."

Jiang Yu produced a manifestation talisman in his hand and said in a deep voice:

"Brother Zhang, please tell me the location!"

After Zhang Tao locked onto the aura, he pointed to a corner in the east:

"It's right there!"

"Sanmao Zhenjun, restore your true nature! Capture!"

Jiang Yu chanted an incantation, and the manifestation talisman was instantly released.

A round, spherical mass of demonic energy appeared before everyone's eyes.

As Zhang Tao said, he is rolling back and forth on the ground.

Seeing the demon so clearly revealed, Zhang Tao's eyes showed envy:

"Your Taoist talismans are still the most effective; they can clearly make demons appear."

Jiang Yu waved his hand and said:

"If you hadn't pinpointed the monster's location, even ten revealing talismans wouldn't have helped."

Zhang Tao smiled inwardly and agreed.

What he just said was indeed just a polite remark.

Each sect of immortal cultivation has its own unique skills.

Even without using the revealing talisman, Jiang Yu still had ways to pinpoint the location of the demon.

After all, the Demon Suppression Division is backed by the Great Li Dynasty, and its resources are far greater than those of an ordinary rogue cultivator like Jiang Yu.

Zhang Tao, with his belly protruding, slowly reached for the demonic energy. The demonic energy dispersed in his hand and then condensed back into a ball.

He concluded:

"This monster is at least five meters underground; we need to find a way to force it out."

He stroked his chin and suggested:

"Or, we could just get people to dig this place out!"

Upon hearing this, Manager Xia waved his hands repeatedly:

"If this cellar is dug any deeper, half of Wangchun Tower will tilt."

Xie Qiyun stepped forward, his face showing impatience, and said:

"Should we call someone to dig it up?"

"Too much trouble. Just set off dozens of thunderbolts and blast it open. Let's see if that monster can't come out then."

Upon hearing this proposal, Manager Xia's legs went weak, and he collapsed to the ground, his face deathly pale.

In this way, the entire Wangchun Tower would be destroyed.

He'll be bankrupt by then.

Shopkeeper Xia looked on anxiously for help from Jiang Yu.

His intuition told him that this great-aunt was capable of doing it.

"Are all the people from the Demon Suppression Division so radical?" Jiang Yu thought to himself.

At this moment, Zhao Lei, who had been silent behind him, remembered Jiang Yu's plan to deal with the two groups of robbers and suggested:

"Why not use a teleportation talisman to force it out!"

Jiang Yu shook his head:

"A low-grade earth-遁符 (earth-遁符) can only burrow two meters underground. To burrow five meters deep, you need a mid-grade earth-遁符, which I cannot make."

Xie Qiyun raised an eyebrow and took out a black sphere with a fuse to display:

"The Demon Suppression Division does have one, but I didn't expect to need it on this trip."

"We did bring several hundred thunderbolts, but I'll stick with my method—it's quick and effective!"

Wow, hundreds of them?

Jiang Yu's eyes widened slightly:

"Are you going to blast up the mountain?!"

Shopkeeper Xia could no longer bear the blow; her eyes rolled back, and she was about to faint.

Jiang Yu stroked his chin and said:

"Actually, there's an even simpler way that doesn't require digging a single shovelful of soil, and it's very quick."

Manager Xia sat up again, feeling that he could still be saved.

Xie Qiyun's eyes lit up, and he said:

How fast?

Before Jiang Yu could finish speaking, Zhang Tao interrupted:

"Boss, just trust Brother Jiang, he won't let you down!"

Having witnessed Jiang Yu's intelligence and talent twice, Zhang Tao had full confidence in him.

Jiang Yu smiled and said with a slight smirk:

"Since this monster likes to drink, we just need to lure it out with some spirit wine, and it will come out on its own!"

Xie Qiyun's eyebrows lifted. "Great idea!"

"What a terrible idea!" Zhang Tao's expression changed instantly, and his emotions became extremely agitated:

"Boss, it's best to use a devastating bomb!"

Xie Qiyun narrowed his eyes and stared at Zhang Tao, saying:

"Among us, it seems only you have the spirit wine."

"Hand over the spirit wine you have on you!" Xie Qiyun shouted sternly.

"No!"

Zhang Tao firmly shook his head.

"I only counted to 'three'!" Xie Qiyun held up her slender fingers:

"three!"

The moment the word left his mouth, Zhang Tao cupped his hands and presented the spirit wine.

"You definitely have more!" Xie Qiyun scrutinized him intently, snatched Zhang Tao's storage bag, and pulled out ten bottles of spirit wine.

Zhang Tao lay sprawled on the ground, on the verge of tears.

"This is top-quality 'Zhu Guo Wine,' I've treasured it for three years and haven't been able to bear drinking it!"

"Even the cultivator's spirit wine is going to be eaten by that demon, so what are mine?" With this thought, Manager Xia felt less upset.

The ten jars of Zhu Guo wine were opened, and everyone temporarily left the cellar.

As if drawn by a fragrance, the monsters underground surged upwards from the soil.

Before long, a dark green branch broke through the soil, with countless tiny twigs growing from its tip, and entered the wine jar to drink heartily.

"Monster, where do you think you're going!"

Xie Qiyun burst through the gate, and a shadowy figure appeared behind him. He rushed forward, grabbed the dark green branch, and pulled it out sharply.

Suddenly, a dark, root-like object was pulled out of the soil, its top twisted with several dark green branches.

It turned out to be a tree spirit, or more precisely, a seed of a tree spirit.

Boom!

Without any hesitation, Xie Qiyun swiftly cleaved the object in two.

The tree spirit seed struggled twice before gradually losing its vitality, spilling wine all over the ground.

Zhang Tao rushed over, heartbroken, and cried out:

"My wine!"

In Jiang Yu's eyes, a golden coin appeared in the center, and a line of small characters lit up on the coin:

Intermediate Quest [Worldly Affairs]:

The mystery of Wangchun Tower has been solved, and the task is complete.
