I Possess a Scroll of Demon-Subduing Records

Under these circumstances, he still sent a letter to his fellow disciples, requesting that another protector be sent over.

He refused to believe that Lin Yi could take on four opponents at once.

Lin Yi is so powerful at such a young age, he must be the reincarnation of a great immortal. It would be best if we could become friends, but Lin Yi is not giving us face and has caused this mess. So we can only ask him to reincarnate again.

Four men can suppress one; I refuse to believe he can turn the world upside down!

In that case, not only will he die, but everyone he wants to protect will also die!

After the message was sent out, the Moonlight Buddha did not rush to leave the auction. Of the five leaders of the Hanzhong County Chamber of Commerce, four had run away, and one was struck by lightning and died on the spot. Now there was no one in charge.

It was inconvenient for those in the public eye to come here to take charge, so upon seeing this, the Moonlight Buddha chanted a Buddhist prayer.

“Amitabha, now that the troublemakers have left, those of you who have made a purchase should continue and take these people back to their rightful place.”

The demons who had not yet left were immediately startled.

Good heavens, these are the people that the God of Slaughter wants to protect. Who would dare to touch them? Wouldn't they be afraid of being come after?

Even if you have good things, you still have to see if you're alive to enjoy them.

If Lin Yi can't kill the Moonlight Buddha, wouldn't killing these monsters be as easy as one strike each?

"Senior, since today's auction has ended, and many who made deals were killed by that ruthless man, why don't we cancel today's auction for now and start again tomorrow?"

A shifty-eyed little monster mustered his courage and said.

These monsters, who are active in both the north and south, have a fairly good understanding of the Moonlight Buddha and the Thousand Buddha Temple.

The Thousand Buddha Temple, despite having the word "Buddha" in its name, has been categorized as a demonic sect because of its modus operandi.

Thousand Buddha Temple, as the name suggests, has a thousand Buddha statues.

This Buddhist temple claims that their Buddha can be reincarnated in the bodies of those with affinity, so the Thousand Buddha Temple often takes children of the right age to the mountain, regardless of whether they want to or not.

After some time, Buddha appeared in the human world. As for the children who were not chosen, they were never seen to return.

Because of this behavior, Qianfo Temple became known as a demonic sect. One theory is that Qianfo Temple sacrificed the children who were captured.

And what kind of righteous path can accept blood sacrifices?

As a result, both the Northern and Southern schools of Buddhism regarded Thousand Buddha Temple as a demonic cult, and although these monks also preached and expounded Buddhist scriptures, they were not recognized by the orthodox tradition.

Thousand Buddha Temple may have fallen into disrepair, or it may have been forced by the necessities of life. Over the years, it has dealt with many demons, monsters, and evil people. So, as a demon, there is no need to worry too much about the Moonlight Buddha suddenly slaying demons.

Whether a monk wants to kill someone depends on his mood.

He was in a bad mood. Although his expression was still gentle, his voice carried a hint of murderous intent.

"Are you teaching me what to do?"

Upon hearing this, the demons present who had wanted to echo him fell silent, no longer daring to utter a sound.

"The demons from before are dead, so be it. Those of you who are still here, just take out some money and you can leave."

All the demons: "..."

The implication is that if a few people don't leave today, then there's no need to leave at all.

Given the ferocity of that killer, if he took the food but didn't eat it, he would probably only face death.

This is truly a battle of gods, forcing mortals to their deaths.

What choice did these little demons, who were caught up in this mess, have?

Just as the monsters were frowning in worry, a deep voice said, "I want all of these people."

All the survivors present looked toward the person who had spoken. The person was dressed in a simple Taoist robe and wore an ordinary black iron mask, emanating a faint demonic aura.

It's all very mysterious; I wonder what its background is.

"You want them all?"

The Buddha of Moonlight squinted, scrutinizing the somewhat strange man.

Isn't he afraid of Lin Yi's revenge?

"I only need a few furnace cauldrons. It seems that the other fellow Daoists don't want them. I can buy them and keep them as idle people. It's a good way to do you all a favor."

My name is Shiyu. I hope that if we meet again in the future, fellow cultivators, you will take good care of me.

This reason was somewhat plausible. Many demons and monsters, fearing Shi Yu might regret it, quickly chimed in, "Good brother, from now on, just give us your name, and we'll help you through wind and rain."

Are you kidding me? You can take them away today and they'll be ashes tomorrow, right?

At this moment, the demons and monsters naturally didn't hold back on polite words.

But the Moonlight Buddha was not an easy person to talk to. He looked coldly at the man who called himself Lost Feather, scrutinized him for a long time, and then suddenly smiled.

"Trying to outsmart me? Do you think I wouldn't dare kill someone?"

"This junior wouldn't dare!"

Shi Yu quickly admitted defeat, but dared not offer any further explanation.

The atmosphere suddenly became tense; not only was Shi Yu afraid, but the monsters were also afraid.

If the Moonlight Buddha is determined to get them on board, there's nothing they can do.

This tense atmosphere lasted for a few seconds before the Moon-White Buddha suddenly laughed and said, "What are you afraid of? As long as you can pay, do you think I'd eat you?"

Hearing this, everyone present breathed a sigh of relief, and Shi Yu quickly took out a cloud bag and handed it to the Moonlight Buddha.

The cloud bag was filled with gold, and at first glance, it looked like a small gold mountain. Even the Moonlight Buddha was tempted.

Buddha certainly didn't love money; he was just thinking that if he had that much money, he could gild the clay sculptures in the temple...

Chapter 356 Changes in the Demon-Slaying Manual

The money has been paid, and the Moonlit Buddha has no reason to continue to make things difficult for Shi Yu.

Even when practicing spiritual cultivation, one still needs to maintain a certain level of dignity.

He waved his hand, indicating that Shi Yu could go and take the people away. However, it would be a troublesome matter for Shi Yu to take these hundreds of people with him.

However, he was prepared.

Shi Yu then took out a red rope, swung it forward, and the rope wrapped around everyone's wrist, linking hundreds of people together.

Clearly, this red rope must be a magical artifact.

The Buddha of Moonlight couldn't help but glance at Shi Yu again. This Taoist priest looked ordinary, but he was surprised to find that he was so rich.

It seems to be someone of considerable importance.

The Buddha of Moonlight and Light secretly kept a watchful eye on things, but still let Shi Yu go, while he himself went to stay at an inn in the city in a high-profile manner.

He did this for two reasons: to let Lin Yi know where he was, and to let Xiao Zhao know where he was.

He helped Xiao Zhao a lot today, and the huge sum of money from the auction is still in his hands.

The person in charge will eventually come to him; he just needs to wait.

The Hanzhong Prefecture was destined to be in turmoil that night because of the arrival of two top-ranking experts.

He Qian was the commander of the military camp. Because it was a border region, military and political power were separated, so the governor of Hanzhong Commandery was someone else.

Only when the two check and balance each other can the person in power feel at ease.

At this moment, a rider suddenly burst into the prefectural governor's mansion, startling the lights inside.

Inside the mansion, Prefect Chen Nan broke out in a cold sweat upon hearing his subordinate's report.

His informants in the army told him that He Qian had been assassinated and the military camp was in chaos.

This was the time for him to quell the rebellion. Chen Nan dared not hesitate. He immediately summoned his guards, rode his horse toward the military camp, and at the same time summoned his confidants to secretly send out the news.

One copy was sent to the imperial court, while the other was delivered to Baishui County through a more discreet confidant…

The mortal and cultivation worlds of Hanzhong Prefecture were in turmoil tonight, but Lin Yi, who caused all this chaos, calmly found a place to process the changes in his body.

He buried himself in the earth, focusing all his senses on himself, like a seed, while the power within him surged forth, as if trying to make him sprout.

Lin Yi's limbs are like roots, drawing nutrients from the soil.

At this moment, Lin Yi suddenly understood the Dao of earth and wood. Earth, with its profound virtue, carries all things, is firm and heavy, nurturing one region. It is the mother of all living beings and the spirit of great virtue and power.

The essence of wood is flourishing and thriving, born from the earth, matured by water, transforming the foundation of the five elements, and establishing the roots of the eight directions.

At this moment, the bottleneck of the first rank that had been difficult to break through finally loosened, and Lin Yi realized that his understanding of the first rank was still too shallow.

The difference between advancing in Qi Refining and Spirit Refining and Body Refining is enormous.

Body tempering is like pouring water into a water tank; once you reach a certain level, you will naturally have the strength you deserve.

Refining the spirit and cultivating qi are different. They are like pouring water into a vat, but the vat has a limit. When it is full, it will overflow, but it will not allow you to reach a higher level.

If you want to climb up, you need another tank.

And this jar, you have to figure it out yourself.

A single Dao is simply not enough to break through realms. Lin Yi has now comprehended four Daos, including metal, water, fire, wood, and earth.

However, Lin Yi only studied the Way of Water to supplement Qu Jing's rhyme, without delving into it deeply, so he couldn't be considered to have truly grasped it. As for the Way of Fire, Lin Yi was quite proficient.

After adding earth and wood, the opportunity to break through the barrier finally arrived.

There is probably an unspoken rule that one cannot break through a realm with a single Daoist aura; at least two or three are required.

What if I comprehend five of them?

Lin Yi originally thought he would improve his Qi Refining level to the first rank as soon as possible to increase his combat power, but now he thinks that there is still a lot of room for improvement in both Qi Refining and Spirit Refining.

Those top-tier humans, with only a few decades or even a hundred years of cultivation, can rival demons and monsters who have cultivated for thousands of years, demonstrating the power of refining spirit and cultivating qi.

Now, Lin Yi wasn't in a hurry to break through to the next realm. Since his physical cultivation was already progressing, it wouldn't matter if he slowed down his Qi cultivation.

As time went by, Lin Yi felt the power within his body gradually become gentler. The violent power seemed to have been released and slowly began to subside, merging into Lin Yi's body.

Lin Yi regulated his breathing for a long time to make sure his body was fine before he broke out of the ground.

It was early morning, and a ray of dawn shone on Lin Yi, casting a faint purple glow upon him.

Lin Yi looked at his palms, which seemed to have become even whiter and smoother.

He felt much stronger, but he didn't know where that strength came from.
