The two ghost messengers shook their heads, carried Wencai and left.

"Two elder brothers, can you please let me say goodbye to my master? Woohoo, I never thought my master's birthday would be my death anniversary. I hope he won't be too sad. Remember to burn paper money for this unfilial disciple on his birthday in the future."

The two ghost messengers remained silent, carrying Wencai on the long journey.

Uncle Jiu in the charity cemetery had already noticed that something was wrong. He witnessed with his own eyes the scene of two ghost messengers carrying Wencai away. He listened to Wencai's tearful words, feeling both amused and helpless, and cursed under his breath, "This idiot."

If it was really a ghost who was taking away souls, he would only take away the spirit. How could he take away a living person like what happened in front of him?

It seems that the opportunity for this silly disciple of mine has arrived!

A hint of joy flashed in Uncle Jiu's eyes. Considering that Wencai made a wish to become stronger, and Huang Daogong asked Wencai to copy books in his dream, he knew in his heart that Wencai had been diligently copying books for so many days to satisfy Huang Daogong, so he specially sent the ghost to come and take him away.

"Whether my silly disciple can come to his senses depends on tonight."

Uncle Jiu was so happy and excited that he couldn't sleep. He got up and walked around on the ground with his hands behind his back, his mind full of thoughts.

While Uncle Jiu was daydreaming, Wencai had already been carried by two ghost messengers through the entrance of the palace and temple and stepped into the territory of Zhenhun Street.

"I never thought that my Master Wencai would die so young. I only hope that Master Huang Daogong will consider my diligent service in the past and allow me to serve under him. That way, I can at least go back and visit Master from time to time!!"

As soon as Wencai saw that he had entered the Zhenhun Street, he immediately gave up the idea of going back and waited for the judgment to come with a desperate attitude.

However, the two ghost messengers did not take Wencai to the Zodiac Temple, but carried him all the way to a courtyard.

There are two ghost messengers guarding the front of the courtyard, and the three big characters "Monastery" are written on the plaque on the door.

"go in!"

The two ghost messengers who were carrying Wencai pushed him into the yard and then closed the door.

Wencai stood in the courtyard with a confused look on his face, not knowing what was going on. Seeing that the main gate was closed, but the door to the main hall in the courtyard was wide open, he walked slowly towards it with trepidation, as if the slower he walked, the slower his death would be.

After a while, he finally moved to the main hall door and looked inside cautiously.

"Wencai, stop wasting time outside and come in quickly!"

Suddenly, a familiar voice was heard in the main hall. His eyes widened suddenly, and he saw a tall bronze alchemy furnace as big as a small room placed in the center of the main hall. The furnace was engraved with various patterns of immortals moving mountains and seas with great magical powers. It was simple and heavy.

Wencai passed by the alchemy furnace and saw Taoist Qianhe and his four disciples standing beside him. He asked in surprise, "Uncle Master, why are you here?!"

Taoist Qianhe said with a smile, "I am here on the orders of Master Huang Dao to perform the Yijin and cleansing of your marrow and strengthen your bones."

"What's the meaning!?"

Wencai was completely confused and obviously didn't understand.

Taoist Qianhe looked at the naive Wencai and sighed in his heart, this kid is really lucky. He usually serves Huang Daogong diligently, and because of this he caught Huang Daogong's eye, and he specially gave him a great opportunity.

He shook his head and smiled, pointing to the alchemy furnace beside him and explained, "This furnace is called the Self-cultivation Furnace. It can improve one's physique and enhance one's aptitude for practicing Qi and cultivating the Dao."

"so smart!?"

Wencai exclaimed.

Taoist Qianhe said with a smile: "You are highly regarded by Master Huang Daogong, so he specially gave you an opportunity. I hope you can seize the opportunity and not let your master down."

Wencai was overjoyed when he heard this. Without saying a word, he bowed his head and kowtowed repeatedly, thanking Huang Daogong from afar. "Thank you for your kindness, Huang Daogong. I, Wencai, will keep it in my heart and will never forget it."

When he thought that his hard work of copying books for many days had finally been rewarded, he burst into tears of joy.

It really is true that hard work pays off!!

Old man Huang Daogong has always been aware of his hard work, and now it has finally borne fruit and it is time to reap the harvest.

Taoist Qianhe looked at Wencai who was bowing and kowtowing, and silently pointed in a direction, "The Huangdao Temple is in this direction, and the old man Huang Daogong is in the temple now."

"Uh……"

Wencai's whole body stiffened, then he moved over with his butt sticking out, kowtowed three times, and thanked Huang Daogong profusely.

"Wencai, that's almost enough. I'm sure Elder Huang Daogong has already received your gratitude. Hurry up and get up to begin the training in the Self-Cultivation Furnace!"

When Taoist Master Qianhe saw Wencai kowtowed non-stop, he hurriedly urged him to get up, saying that business was important and any further delay would be before dawn.

"Yes, yes, uncle, you are right."

Wencai woke up in shock. Now the most urgent task was to cultivate his bones and improve his talents so as not to disappoint the old man Huang Daogong.

He quickly got up and looked at the cauldron, eager to try it out.

"Just sit down in the cauldron. We'll take care of everything that happens next."

Taoist Qianhe pushed Wencai and pushed him towards the stairs of the cauldron. Going up the stairs was a low bronze door, which could be opened to enter.

Wencai couldn't wait to get into the cauldron and sit down cross-legged. He looked around and found that the inside of the cauldron was unremarkable, with smooth and plain copper walls all around.

"Wencai, we are about to start, get ready."

"Uncle Master, I'm fine now."

After a brief exchange, Wencai suddenly noticed that the green copper walls around him suddenly emitted a trace of fire, and it was getting hotter and hotter, as if someone outside was setting fire to the alchemy furnace.

He panicked, thinking of the scene in Journey to the West where Sun Wukong was tortured by the Jade Emperor, and wondered if he would be tortured like that!

He secretly groaned, the Monkey King had an indestructible body, he could be refined in the furnace without getting a hair damaged, but he was just a mortal, he would be cooked and burnt once he was roasted by the fire.

How can this be done!?

Wencai was feeling anxious, feeling that the heat around him was getting hotter and hotter. He couldn't see any fire, but his whole body was feeling hot. A current of heat appeared out of nowhere in his body, flowing into his meridians like molten lava, as if undergoing a major transformation on his body, just like a mechanical modification.

The bones and muscles were tempered thousands of times, the veins were destroyed and rebuilt over and over again, and the flesh and blood were forged inch by inch.

what! !

This process was extremely painful. Wencai was caught off guard and groaned in pain. He could clearly hear his flesh and bones wailing, as if he was screaming.

"Uncle Master, help!!"

Wencai could not bear the pain and could no longer sit still. He rolled around in agony in the furnace, screaming and asking for help from Taoist Qianhe outside.

Taoist Qianhe listened to Wencai's howling, shook his head, and said loudly: "Wencai, only those who endure the most hardships can become the best. Just bear with it for a while, and you will have a bright future after you get through it."

Without the bitter cold, how can the fragrance of plum blossoms be so strong? !

If you want to improve your talent out of thin air, how can you not suffer a little?!

It is a great opportunity that my literary talent is so appreciated by Huang Daogong.

As long as you can get through it, the clouds will clear and the sky will be bright.

The flesh and blood forging also lasted for half an hour before it finally stopped.

Wen Caisheng lay dejectedly in the alchemy furnace, gasping for breath. His whole body was already soaked with sweat, and water could be wrung out of his clothes.

His body was sticky as if it was covered with oil, and a pungent and foul smell penetrated his nostrils.

He looked down and found that his skin was covered with a layer of black impurities, which was emitting a disgusting smell.

vomit! !

He immediately started retching.

Bang! !

At this time, the bronze door of the cauldron was opened, and before Wencai could react, he was pulled out and stuffed into a bathtub.

"Wencai, congratulations on your good fortune. As long as you practice diligently, you will surely make rapid progress and rise step by step."

Taoist Qianhe congratulated Wencai with a smile on his face.

He was delighted to see his nephew getting such a great opportunity.

The four people from the east, south, west and north also came forward to congratulate Wencai. A hint of envy flashed in their eyes. They themselves were people with mediocre talents. It was a pity that they did not get such an opportunity in their lifetime. Instead, they were extremely lucky to serve under Huang Daogong after their death and could fight for wealth.

Wencai came back to his senses from his daze and was ecstatic, "I succeeded, I succeeded, I became a genius."

Taoist Qianhe looked at the excited Wencai, shook his head and smiled. He could understand Wencai's joy. If he were to get such a great opportunity, he would inevitably be overly excited.

After a while, he saw Wencai still immersed in joy, and then he pushed Wencai to bring him back to his senses, "Wencai, it's getting late, you should go back."

Wencai was stunned for a moment, "Uncle Master, should I go to the Huangdao Temple to thank the old man Huang Daogong?"

"No need. Huang Daogong asked me to bring you a message. He has given you a gift. He hopes that you will practice diligently and use your abilities to subdue demons and punish evil and promote good."

Taoist Qianhe's expression suddenly turned serious, and he said sternly, "If you use your magic to deceive others and commit evil, the old man Huang Daogong will personally take back the skills he has bestowed upon you, and will also cast you into the endless hell, where you will never be able to escape rebirth."

"I hope you will keep this in mind and not break the rules."

Wencai's heart trembled, and he quickly promised: "Uncle Master, I will definitely remember the teachings of Master Huang Daogong."

"Well, just remember."

Taoist Qianhe nodded and urged him, "Hurry back." He paused, then said meaningfully, "Old Master Huang Daogong said that when you return, remember to practice immediately. There will be another opportunity waiting for you later."

Wencai burst into tears of gratitude, "Old Man Huang Daogong has been so kind to me. I will never forget his great kindness."

"No need to say more. I have to go back and report to Huang Daogong. You follow the ghost messenger and hurry back. Don't miss the time."

Taoist Qianhe pushed Wencai out of the monastery and asked two ghost messengers to take Wencai back to the charity cemetery.

He hurried back to the Zodiac Temple to report.

When Huang Dao heard that Wencai had already refined his bones, he nodded immediately. This time, he spent 100,000 incense points on the self-cultivation furnace to refine Wencai's bones.

The self-cultivation furnace is not a spiritual treasure that can operate on its own. Every time it helps someone to refine their bones, it will consume his incense value.

However, with his current income from incense points, he could get back 100,000 incense points in just one or two days.

So he doesn't feel bad about it, it mainly depends on whether it is worth it.

I just hope that Wencai won't let him down.

Of course, Wencai is now tied to his warship. During his lifetime, he must help him spread his faith and collect incense. After his death, he must serve under him and work for him.

It can be said that he used 100,000 incense points to cultivate a subordinate who could be used by him both in life and in death.

Wencai has to say thank you to him!

The practices involved are even darker than the slave trade!!

Chapter 94: Promoted to Godhood, Blessed by Strange Fragrance, I Am a Taoist Priest, Benefiting the Believers

"system!".

Huang Dao waved his hand to let Taoist Qianhe leave, and then called out the system panel:

【Merit and Incense Becoming God System】

Host: Zodiac

Identity: God of Land

Rank: Seventh Rank Merit and Incense Body (+)

Lifespan: ***

Supernatural powers: divine power, qi reading, dream entry, exorcism, tranquility, earth travel, circular light, control of objects, and access to the depths of the dark…

Jurisdiction: Huangdao Temple, Renjia, Yizhuang, Renjia Town, Zhenhun Street...

Merit value: 11267

Incense value: 1429310

Evaluation: A local lord who is not well-known and has just entered the bottom of the society!

Huang Dao looked at the merit value and incense value on the panel. The incense value was slightly reduced compared to before, but the merit value was unprecedentedly expanded because of the elimination of a group of horse bandits.

According to the exchange rate between merit points and incense points, his merit points are equivalent to more than one million incense points.

In other words, he now has about 2.5 million incense points.

Rich as hell.

This is all thanks to the selfless contribution of this group of horse thieves.

They made an indelible contribution to Huang Dao's journey to becoming a god and proving his truth.

He looked at the flashing + sign at the end of the grade column on the panel, and clicked it without hesitation.

upgrade!

The next moment, accompanied by a "swish" sound, one million incense points suddenly disappeared from the incense value column.

At the same time, his soul once again burst into brilliant golden light after a long absence. The golden light broke through the Zodiac Temple and illuminated the entire main god space, as bright as a bright moon slowly rising.
