Starting with Taoist priests from Maoshan to cultivate immortality

Jiang Yu walked out of the room.

The first thing I saw was a 'big lump of meat' squeezed onto a rocking chair.

Zhang Tao looked up resentfully, then pouted and said:

"Since you love cultivation so much, I thought you had made great strides into the mid-stage of Qi Refining!"

"You have to admit the boss has good taste; she made me stand guard for you at the door."

Jiang Yu's cultivation level showed no obvious change, while Zhang Tao was clearly being sarcastic.

He was quite displeased that Xie Qiyun had forced him to become Jiang Yu's protector.

"Not bad, a small gain!" Jiang Yu smiled faintly, then changed the subject:

"Thank you for protecting me, Fellow Daoist Zhang. I will go down to find Miss Xie now and tell her everything you just said, so that I can earn some credit for you."

"No, Brother Jiang!"

Zhang Tao looked anxious and suddenly stood up.

However, because his obese body was stuck in the chair, he could only wobble and sway as he rushed toward Jiang Yu.

As a result, Jiang Yu dodged, and Zhang Tao, chair and all, tumbled down the stairs with a loud "crack," the chair shattering into pieces.

The loud commotion caught Xie Qiyun's attention, and she frowned and said:

"What are you doing?"

Jiang Yu smiled slightly and said:

"Fellow Daoist Zhang's body is stuck in the chair, I'm helping him get out."

Zhang Tao endured the pain and gritted his teeth, saying:

"Yes, yes!"

Xie Qiyun rolled her eyes at Zhang Tao and said:

"I told you to eat less, now you're like a big meatball!"

Zhang Tao retorted:

"I'm not fat, I'm prosperous!"

"Brother Yu, I'm back!"

Zhao Lei's voice came from outside the door.

Standing next to him was a bald, burly man, who was at least two meters tall and looked like half an iron tower.

The light shone on his shiny bald head, giving it a cold sheen.

With each step, the muscles throughout the body rubbed together, producing a dull, squeaking sound as the leather was being squeezed.

Zhao Lei explained:

"Brother Yu, this is my second senior brother, Tu Meng!"

I told him about you, and he insisted on coming to thank you.

With a cold face, Tu Meng strode up to Jiang Yu, his tall shadow looming over him.

Jiang Yu subconsciously swallowed, feeling as if he were facing a raging bear.

The next moment, Tu Meng bent down slightly, his shoulders level with Jiang Yu's, and said in a gentle voice:

"Many thanks to Fellow Daoist Jiang for helping my junior brother out of danger several times. I am deeply grateful!"

"?"

Jiang Yu was stunned. He hadn't expected his second senior brother to be so different from him.

Just now she was like a fierce tiger descending the mountain, but now she's like a gentle kitten.

Zhao Lei laughed:

"Brother Yu, my second senior brother is known for his good temper in our Rocky Sect. He heard that you're going to catch the fox demon tonight, so he came to help."

Another helper has arrived.

Jiang Yu raised an eyebrow and clasped his hands in a fist salute, saying:

"This is troublesome!"

Tu Meng lowered his eyes and smiled:

"Yesterday I ate the monster meat that Fellow Daoist Jiang asked my fifth junior brother to take back. It was very delicious."

As the saying goes, one should not accept a reward without merit, and I will feel uneasy if I do not repay this favor.

Besides, fox demons harm people, and it is our righteous sect disciples' duty to kill them!

"What fox demon?"

Upon hearing their conversation, Zhang Tao's face showed a big question mark.

Xie Qiyun also frowned slightly.

"Sorry, it's my fault, I forgot to mention it!"

Jiang Yu bowed apologetically and recounted how the fox demon had been absorbing the widow Wang's yang energy for many days.

After hearing this, Zhang Tao suddenly realized and said:

"So that's how it is. You went to kick down the widow's door during the day, I thought you... hehe."

Jiang Yu was speechless. He was clearly trying to eliminate evil and protect the innocent, but Zhang Tao's words made him seem like a shameless person.

Xie Qiyun's face was icy cold:

"Those who defile innocent women deserve to be torn to pieces!"

With many helpers, Jiang Yu discussed with everyone the plan to capture the fox demon.

To avoid alerting the enemy, they decided to lie in ambush outside Widow Wang's shop.

The group left Wangchun Tower.

A strange light flashed in the waiter's eyes:

"In a moment, you will all become my prey!"

"What are you muttering about? Hurry up and go clean up in the kitchen!" Manager Xia shouted.

After a long period of stagnation, he finally managed to recover from the blow.

Are you talking to me?

The waiter turned around, and his skin peeled off layer by layer, revealing a hideous red demon before him.

Ah!

Shopkeeper Xia let out a scream, his eyes rolled back, and he completely fainted.

The cook heard the noise and came out to check, only to have his head crushed by the man's sharp, large hand.

He dragged the two bodies and carelessly tossed them back into the kitchen.

Then, he returned to the outside of the hall and respectfully said:

"We respectfully invite Grandma's special envoy!"

A seventy-year-old woman, leaning on a cane and carrying a cage made of black iron, descended step by step from the ceiling.

Her feet were not human feet, but a cluster of winding tree roots.

The cage contained a small white fox, its eyes filled with panic.

The old woman ignored the waiter, hung the cage aside, and gently waved towards the Wangchun Tower:

"Children, come out!"

In an instant, countless dark green branches burst forth from the ground in the wine cellar.

"Grandma Tree!"

Seventy or eighty tree spirits used branches as legs and crowded the entire Wangchun Tower.

Pairs of eerie green eyes sprouted from their branches, joyfully circling around the old woman.

"Quiet!"

The old woman tapped her cane, and the tree spirit seed immediately froze.

The old woman then looked at the waiter beside her, a glint of green light flashing in her eyes:

"Old Xue, you did very well this time. You restrained yourself even when you saw the enemy who killed your sister, and you didn't act impulsively!"

Old Xue bowed, his face showing obsequiousness:

"For Grandma's grand plan, the Xue brothers and I are willing to sacrifice everything."

The old woman nodded in satisfaction:

"Everything you have comes from your grandmother, you know that, that's enough!"

Xue Laoliu said regretfully:

"Unfortunately, one of the tree spirit seeds couldn't resist its greed and almost exposed a flaw!"

The old woman frowned:

"My child is naturally active; what's wrong with him having a little alcohol?"

Xue Laoliu's body tensed up:

"I misspoke!"

The old woman's eyes revealed anger and sorrow:

"That damned woman dared to kill my child. I will turn her into living food and slowly torture her."

Her voice grew increasingly hollow, and countless vines pierced through her skin, with hundreds of dark green branches spreading wildly and filling the entire Wangchun Tower.

Xue Laoliu cupped his hands and said:

"I have spread the 'seed of control' throughout the town through the wines and spirits of Wangchunlou."

When the time is right, at your summons, those who have drunk the wine will become your food, coming of their own accord to become your nourishment.

The voice of Granny Tree, half-yin and half-yang, came out:

"Very good. Once this base is completed, it will become a new ghost domain."

She glanced at the little fox in the cage and said:

"Submit it along with the other documents, and we'll have done a great service!"

I will beg Grandma to elevate all seven of you brothers to the status of 'vengeful ghosts'.

Xue Laoliu's face lit up with joy:

"Thank you for your guidance, Granny!"
