Starting with Taoist priests from Maoshan to cultivate immortality

Zhou Zhitian raised an eyebrow, stepped forward, grasped Jiang Yu's other hand, and shook it vigorously, saying:

"Young friend Jiang, you have truly performed an extraordinary feat this time!"

If it weren't for you, the Ghost Domain would have caused immense damage to Guobei County.

I will personally report this to my superiors and award you recognition.

"In recent years, demons and ghosts have run rampant in Dali, which is precisely the time when people are in need."

You are perfectly welcome to join our Demon Suppression Division; you will gain access to abundant cultivation resources.

After joining the Demon Suppression Division, your status will rise with your merits.

Perhaps in the future, I'll be able to enter a much larger arena.

Every word Zhou Zhitian spoke came from the bottom of his heart.

Jiang Yu's mind stirred slightly.

If he could obtain a position in the Demon Suppression Division, it would greatly benefit his future.

However, if he wanted to become a core member of the Demon Suppression Division, he had to cultivate its exclusive techniques, which in effect required Jiang Yu to switch sects and start over.

He had already sworn an oath before the Three Mao True Lords that he would never change his allegiance.

Therefore, joining the Zhenfu Sect, which is also a branch of the Maoshan School, would be a more suitable choice.

Furthermore, since he has just awakened the Profound True Talisman Body, if he wants to improve his talisman cultivation, there is no better place than the True Talisman Sect.

Jiang Yu cupped his hands and said:

"Thank you for your kind words, Lord Zhou."

But I have already sworn an oath: once a Taoist priest of Maoshan, always a Taoist priest of Maoshan.

Moreover, the junior's senior uncle is also a disciple of the True Talisman Sect.

I was already preparing to attend the True Talisman Sect's disciple recruitment ceremony a year from now.

Zhou Zhitian shook his head, his gaze darkening slightly as he said:

That's such a shame.

Everyone has their own ambitions, and from your development path, joining the True Talisman Sect is indeed the most suitable choice.

He then changed the subject:

"However, you can become an unofficial member of the Demon Suppression Division, and you can mobilize some resources, but you cannot cultivate the Demon Suppression Division's exclusive techniques."

"Of course I'd be willing," Jiang Yu readily agreed.

This way, you can not only build a good relationship with the Demon Suppression Division, but also have a high degree of freedom.

After Jiang Yu agreed to join the True Talisman Sect, Duan Li's originally wooden face showed a hint of a smile, and he said "good" three times.

He asked Jiang Yu curiously:

"You said your martial uncle is a disciple of the True Talisman Sect, what's his name?"

Jiang Yu replied:

"I am Tan Jinming, my martial uncle."

"Tan Jinming?" Duan Li thought for a moment, then suddenly realized.

"Are you Tan Jinyuan's disciple?"

Zhou Zhitian's eyes lit up, and he clapped his hands, saying:

"So you are Brother Jin Yuan's disciple, no wonder."

Jiang Yu looked puzzled:

"Do you two know my master?"

That shouldn't be the case. His master is only at the mid-stage of Qi Refining. How could he have any dealings with the Chief Banner Officer of the Demon Suppression Division and the Elder of the True Talisman Sect?

Zhou Zhitian fell into reminiscence:

"Of course, your master was a late Foundation Establishment cultivator back then, and his strength was above the two of us."

Twenty years ago, demons and monsters invaded Guobei County on a large scale, slaughtering innocent people.

Your master single-handedly fought against demons and saved thousands of holy beings, but in doing so, his foundation was damaged, and his cultivation level dropped to the Qi Refining Realm.

"I see!"

A look of understanding flashed in Jiang Yu's eyes, and at the same time, he inwardly praised him.

"As expected of my master, he's got guts."

Since his master had some prior acquaintance with the two men, Jiang Yu told them about his master's disappearance and asked them to search for him.

Upon hearing this, the two sighed deeply and promised to keep an eye out for Jiang Yu's master's whereabouts.

Since the True Talisman Sect is currently engaged in a battle with the Ghost Domain, Duan Li needs to return as soon as possible.

Before leaving, Duan Li handed Jiang Yu a token and said:

"This is an outer disciple's token. I have already entered your identity information into it."

You don't need to attend the apprenticeship ceremony; you can report to the True Talisman Sect at any time.

Jiang Yu accepted the token and bowed, saying:

"Thank you, Elder."

Duan Li nodded, then rode the giant talisman into the sky and flew away.

Zhou Zhitian said remotely:

"If the True Talisman Sect needs the power of the Demon Suppression Division, I will not hesitate to do so."

Duan Li's voice came from the air:

"Thank you for your kindness, Lord Zhou. The True Talisman Sect can still manage for now."

As one of the six major sects in Guobei County, the fact that their spiritual veins were invaded by the Ghost Domain had already caused them to lose face.

If we were to ask your company for help again, wouldn't we be ridiculed by the other five major sects?

Afterwards, Zhou Zhitian also handed Jiang Yu a token:

"This is the waist tag of an unofficial member of the Demon Suppression Division. Qiyun will tell you its specific effects."

"You have suffered so many injuries, you need to recuperate as soon as possible to avoid damaging your foundation. Leave the aftermath here to me."

Jiang Yu nodded his thanks and took the injured Tu Meng and Zhang Tao back to Li Family Village to recuperate.

"Fellow Daoist Jiang, you rest. We'll take care of delivering the person!"

The officials from the Demon Suppression Division who helped transport the wounded treated Jiang Yu with exceptional respect.

As people who have dealt with demons and ghosts for many years, they know the value of breaking through a ghost realm.

This saved thousands of innocent lives.

An hour later, the healing pills gradually took effect, and the unconscious people slowly awoke.

Kong Zhenhai stroked his long beard and sighed:

"I never imagined that decades later, I would escape from the Ghost Realm once again!"

When I talk to my peers after this, I'll definitely amaze them.

Zhang Tao was frantically eating, muttering to himself as he ate:

"I'm doomed, I'm doomed! I've burned so much energy, I'm going to lose weight!"

Jiang Yu rolled his eyes:

"After every battle, you eat like a glutton; it would be a miracle if you didn't lose weight."

Yingning smiled and looked around the living room with curiosity.

Jiang Yu looked at her innocent face:

During her conversation with Zhou Zhitian and Duan Li, Ying Ning remained in her fox form, and the two seemed unaware of her fox demon identity.

Yingning's ability to transform herself was extraordinary, as she managed to escape their keen observation.

Seeing that everyone had woken up, Jiang Yu smiled slightly and took out two storage bags.

Now comes the main event of the day: dividing the spoils.

First, there's the storage bag of the sixth brother, the Painted Skin Ghost. Inside, there are a total of eight hundred spirit stones, one mid-grade magic weapon, and two low-grade magic weapons.

The tree demon's storage ring contained no spirit stones, only a high-grade magic weapon, two mid-grade magic weapons, and a map of the Ghost Realm.

Jiang Yu shrugged and said:

"I have never opened these two storage devices since I got them, and Qiyun can testify to that."

Kong Zhenhai smiled slightly and said:

"Young friend, you are overthinking it."

Opening the Ghost Realm requires a large amount of spiritual energy, and the spirit stones on the Tree Demon's body have long been exhausted.

Next came their biggest haul of the night: the tree spirit's demon core.

"A second-tier demon core, an essential material for refining Foundation Establishment Pills."

"This one item alone is worth at least three thousand spirit stones," Kong Zhenhai exclaimed, a hint of regret on his face.

"What a pity, my foundation is damaged and I will never reach the Foundation Establishment stage, otherwise I would definitely have bought it."

Xie Qiyun narrowed his eyes and said directly:

"I want this tree demon's core. I'll offer three thousand five hundred spirit stones."

Xie Qiyun's words startled everyone.

Jiang Yu glanced at her, surprised to find that she was actually a wealthy woman.

The estimated value of these spoils is approximately nine thousand spirit stones.

The group was divided according to their contributions.

Jiang Yu received a total of 2,500 spirit stones, as well as one mid-grade magic weapon and one low-grade magic weapon.

More than a third, which is the highest among all the people.

Jiang Yu's complexion was rosy; in just one day, his cultivation resources had greatly increased.

And this doesn't even include the rewards given to them by the Demon Suppression Division.

Just as they were celebrating, a dark green demonic aura suddenly emerged from the Ghost Realm map.
