Starting with Taoist priests from Maoshan to cultivate immortality

"Misconception!"

Jiang Yu frowned and quickly realized that they had been bewitched.

This kind of sorcery can generally only be mastered by demons that have become spirits in the deep mountains.

Herb gatherers who venture deep into the mountains often fall victim to this sorcery, finding themselves trapped in an endless cycle of enchantment.

If you're lucky, you can get out in ten days or half a month; if you're unlucky, you'll be trapped inside for life.

Jiang Yu kicked the dazed Zhao Lei and shouted:

"Who exactly did you offend?"

"Stop stammering at a time like this!"

Startled by Jiang Yu's shout, Zhao Lei barely snapped out of his daze, his eyes darting away.

"After we parted ways this morning, I encountered a yellow rat on the road and couldn't help but kick it."

Then I was trapped in this endless loop, wandering in all directions more than a dozen times, only to return to the same spot each time.

"You really have nothing better to do!" Jiang Yu looked at his awkward manner, scanned him around, and asked:

"Are you afraid of mice?"

Zhao Lei froze, then waved his hands repeatedly:

"Nonsense! How could I, a dignified man, be afraid of a tiny mouse?"

At most, just seeing it would make me break out in a cold sweat, my legs tremble, and my head spin.

Jiang Yu rolled her eyes at him:

"You call that fearless?"

"You have no idea how terrifying it is. It has a pointy beak, round ears, and it even stands up like a person and bows to me..."

Zhao Lei was finally able to let out the fear that had been bottled up inside him, gesturing wildly with his hands and feet.

"Wait!" Jiang Yu raised his hand to interrupt after hearing his description:

"These features... don't they sound like a weasel?"

Zhao Lei said firmly:

"How could I not recognize a weasel? It has a bushy tail and yellow fur..."

Jiang Yu quickly drew the shapes of a 'mouse' and a 'weasel' on the ground with a twig.

"Get it off quickly!"

Sweat beaded on Zhao Lei's forehead as he frantically scrambled his feet to erase the image of the rat.

Jiang Yu glanced sideways: It's rare to see such a big guy so afraid of mice.

He pointed to the remaining weasel images and asked Zhao Lei:

"What is this?"

Without thinking, Zhao Lei blurted out:

"Is that even a question? A weasel!"

Jiang Yu broke off a clump of tree branches to cover the upper half of the image, and then asked:

"What is this?"

"weasel!"

Zhao Lei frowned as he answered, thinking to himself, "Do you think I'm stupid?"

Jiang Yu moved his arm, obscuring the lower half of the image:

"And now?"

Zhao Lei felt a chill run down his spine, and he couldn't help but jump up and howl loudly:

"A rat! Get rid of it!"

Jiang Yu was utterly speechless:

"I've truly had my eyes opened today; to meet someone with such exceptional discernment as you!"

……

With no other options, Jiang Yu could only pace back and forth on the mountain path, hoping to find a way to break the deadlock.

But by the second day, they still had no clue.

The first quarter of Chen Shi (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 the Demon and Exterminate Evil]: Slay the attacking demons."

"Intermediate Quest [Worldly Affairs]: Defeating the Weasel's Demand for a Title."

"Daily Task [Do a Good Deed Every Day]: Help the elderly, weak, sick and disabled in Qing Shi Village to get through the hunger and suffering."

Jiang Yu opened his eyes, his face showing joy:

"The quest has been refreshed!"

Zhao Lei, who was fast asleep, wanted to kick him a couple of times.

rustle!

Suddenly, a scraping sound came from the woods behind.

A three-meter-tall bear demon leaped out of the bushes.

Its fur is as thick as steel needles, and with a swipe of its front paws, the surrounding branches are easily torn apart like paper.

Roar!

The bear demon roared, making his eardrums ache.

Jiang Yu's expression hardened:

"They came so fast!"

Zhao Lei exclaimed in surprise:

"Holy crap, a demon at the third level of Qi Refining!"

He stepped forward, blocking Jiang Yu's path:

"Brother Jiang, this whole thing started because of me. You go quickly, I'll hold it off!"

Zhao Lei is a very responsible person.

call out!

The bear demon lunged forward and charged at Zhao Lei.

Its body looks bulky, but its explosive power is extremely strong.

Zhao Lei had to strain to look up to see those bloodshot eyes.

Roar!

The bear demon's eyes flashed with savagery as it opened its blood-red maw and lunged at Zhao Lei's throat.

Zhao Lei suddenly exerted force, his arm muscles bulged, and his two hands precisely clamped into the bear demon's teeth.

"Such strong physical strength!" Jiang Yu's eyes narrowed.

Zhao Lei, at the second level of Qi Refining, managed to parry the attack of a bear demon at the third level of Qi Refining with his bare hands. Only someone who had put in a great deal of effort to cultivate their foundation could do that.

A cunning glint flashed in the bear demon's eyes. It gathered strength in its right claw and slashed towards Zhao Lei's stomach.

"brute!"

Zhao Lei's eyes widened as he tried to defend himself, but his arm was firmly embedded in the bear demon's sharp teeth, and he could not break free.

In the moment of crisis, Jiang Yu conjured a cinnabar talisman from his fingertip, and chanted a hand seal:

"May the Three Mao True Lords protect me!"

An oval-shaped light shield covered Zhao Lei.

Boom!

The bear demon's sharp claws slashed across, sparks flying. Its eyes gleamed with displeasure, and it slammed the shield formed by the Vajra Talisman twice, causing several cracks to appear.

"Such powerful strength!" Jiang Yu's expression turned serious as he reminded Zhao Lei.

"Brother Zhao, this is my last Vajra Talisman, don't miss this opportunity!"

"good!"

Zhao Lei's eyes reddened. He shook his wrist, which was numb from the force, and ripped off his shirt, revealing his well-defined muscles.

He clenched his fist again, and a stream of dark golden light flowed along the contours of his muscles.

"Heartbreaker Fist!"

This is his trump card: concentrating all his strength into one point to attack the enemy's vitals and kill them with a single blow.

摄！

Jiang Yu cast another revealing talisman to create an opportunity for Zhao Lei.

In addition to breaking through the disguises of demons and ghosts, the manifestation talisman also has a slight suppressive effect.

"Go to hell, you beast!"

Without hesitation, Zhao Lei aimed at the bear demon's heart and blasted it away.

Click!

A sound of something hard breaking.

Zhao Lei's fist sank straight into the bear demon's fur.

The bear demon rolled its eyes upwards and retreated, leaving a deep footprint in the soil with each step.

After taking three or four steps back, the bear demon's swaying body suddenly came to a stop.

It regained consciousness and a sinister smile appeared on its lips.

Zhao Lei looked down and saw that his face was ashen, and his fist was covered with a layer of fine clay.

What it just shattered with all its might was not the bone in front of the bear demon's heart, but the earthen shield it had condensed using its demonic magic.

"Brother Jiang went to great lengths to create this opportunity for me, and I've just let it slip away!"

Zhao Lei was panting heavily, a hint of resentment in his eyes.

A bear was just as cunning as a fox.

Even though he had used up all his strength, he still forced himself to stand up:

"Brother Jiang, you go first. I have one more move that can kill this beast in one blow!"

Jiang Yu was dragged down by him, and even if it costs her life, she will do everything she can to get him out of this predicament.

Jiang Yu strode forward, staring at the bear demon, a smirk playing on his lips:

"That means you won't have a second chance!"

The bear demon glanced at Jiang Yu sideways, a disdainful look on its lips. Tall guys are useless, this small body could be slapped to death with one slap.

"Take this!"

Jiang Yu took a step forward and punched the bear demon in the chest.

The bear demon looked at him with disdain and casually swung its right claw toward Jiang Yu's throat.

Zhao Lei's face turned pale, and he raised his hand and cried out:

"Brother Jiang, we can't force it!"

He could tell at a glance that Jiang Yu was using the Mountain-Suppressing Fist.

He has only learned this fist technique for less than half a day, and he is a Taoist practitioner. How could he possibly be a match for the bear demon?

call!

Jiang Yu's fist was halfway through when he pushed his muscles to their limits, creating a sharp gust of wind that made the bear demon's thick fur stand on end.

The bear demon's body trembled involuntarily. He had underestimated his opponent earlier, and now it was too late to react.

Zhao Lei's pupils suddenly contracted:

"This is... the Lesser Mastery of the Mountain-Suppressing Fist!"
