The heavens start from Quanzhen swordsmanship

Ordinary ghosts would not dare to provoke ordinary people carrying coffin nails soaked in rooster blood.

Xu Zhiqing used a kitchen knife to cut open the necks of four roosters and took out a small basin of chicken blood.

Before the rooster's blood coagulated, Xu Zhiqing placed the coffin nails one by one into the basin of chicken blood.

Now that the coffin nails are all stained with chicken blood, you can take it out of the blood basin.

It didn't take much time for Xu Zhiqing to make the twelve coffin nails stained with chicken blood.

Xu Zhiqing placed the twelve coffin nails he had made on the table next to him, one by one.

On the table, in addition to the coffin nails, there was also a box of cinnabar, a stack of yellow paper, a brush, a silver needle, half a bowl of glutinous rice and half a bowl of rooster blood.

The chicken blood has not yet solidified, and the chicken blood on the coffin nails is still flowing.

Xu Zhiqing's attention was not on the coffin nails at this time.

He opened the box containing cinnabar, then took out a piece of yellow paper and spread it in front of him.

Xu Zhiqing picked up the brush and rubbed it on the rooster's blood so that all the blood could soak into the brush.

Then he picked up the brush stained with chicken blood and rubbed it on the cinnabar a few times.

After doing all this, Xu Zhiqing calmed down, waved the brush in his hand, and started painting on the yellow paper.

From top to bottom, from left to right, it didn't take long before Xu Zhiqing drew a talisman to ward off evil in one go.

Monsters and various ghosts are all considered "evil", and the evil-suppressing talisman can suppress them.

After drawing this talisman to suppress evil, Xu Zhiqing breathed a sigh of relief.

Unlike ordinary evil-suppressing talismans, this one consumed one tenth of his magic power.

The more magic power a talisman is injected with, the different effects it will have.

In addition, not everyone can draw talisman paper.

For example, Yao Ji, she knows magic and martial arts, but she can’t draw talismans.

Xu Zhiqing only guessed that Yao Ji couldn't draw talismans, but after all, he had never seen whether she could do it or not.

While he was still feeling good, Xu Zhiqing made eight more talismans to suppress evil.

He has 10% of his magic power left, and he has other things to do.

Xu Zhiqing spread the evil-suppressing talisman on the table, and then pressed it down with a ruler.

What if a gust of wind blew away his evil-suppressing talismans? Wouldn’t he cry to death?
After Xu Zhiqing finished drawing the talisman to ward off evil, the twelve coffin nails on the table also solidified a little.

After taking a look, he found that it had not completely solidified, so he continued to do other things.

He brought the half bowl of glutinous rice in front of him, then turned the bowl upside down and placed it on the table.

He picked out a grain of rice and put it back into the bowl.

Leaving this centimeter represents the power of life.

"Life" can suppress dead air and evil spirits.

Xu Zhiqing used a wooden stick to grind the remaining glutinous rice into powder bit by bit.

After doing all this, the chicken blood on the coffin nails completely solidified.

Xu Zhiqing spread the glutinous rice flour evenly, then placed the coffin nail on it and rolled it, and then put the coffin nail aside.

Xu Zhiqing followed the same procedure and did the same with the remaining eleven coffin nails.

The glutinous rice flour wrapped around the coffin nails did not turn them white.

The coffin nails were still bright red.

It’s just that compared to the previous bright red, the color of the coffin nails has become slightly duller.

This is not the end yet.

He picked up the silver needle placed aside, and then took a coffin nail.

Xu Zhiqing began to draw patterns on the coffin nails.

These patterns are nothing but evil-suppressing patterns.

Drawing talismans on yellow paper requires doing it in one go; the same goes for drawing patterns on coffin nails.

There must be no pause in the middle. Once there is a pause, this soul-soothing nail will be useless.

Xu Zhiqing started painting from the thickest end, and after about a cup of tea, the town pattern on the first coffin nail was completed.

The coffin nails at this time were very different from before.

The twisted lines on the coffin nails make them look quite mysterious.

The coffin nails now are still coffin nails. Only after completing the final steps can they become soul-calming nails.

The Soul-Suppressing Nail is different from the Evil-Suppressing Talisman. It has another name, called the Evil-Slaying Nail.

If it hits the body of a monster, those with higher cultivation can still withstand it, but those with lower cultivation will be directly hit and their souls will dissipate.

Xu Zhiqing put down the coffin nail and picked up the second coffin nail.

Soon, he also painted the evil-suppressing pattern on the second coffin nail.

Then the third, the fourth...

In half an hour, all the magic power in Xu Zhiqing's body was used up.

At this point, all twelve coffin nails were painted with evil-suppressing patterns.

"There's still one last step left!"

The last step is to apply cinnabar one by one along the lines of the evil-suppressing patterns.

Fortunately, this step does not require the consumption of mana.

Xu Zhiqing used a silver needle to pick up cinnabar and smeared it on the coffin nails bit by bit.

After the cinnabar is applied, the red cinnabar plus the dark red coffin nails should appear red overall.

However, when cinnabar covered a coffin nail, the coffin nail began to emit a faint white light.

When the white light disappeared, the bright red coffin nail turned into a golden coffin nail.

"It's done!"

Xu Zhiqing watched the coffin nails change color and a smile appeared on his face.

Today's coffin nails can no longer be called coffin nails.

It should be called the Evil-Slaying Nail.

Xu Zhiqing placed the evil-killing nail on the table beside him, and then covered the remaining eleven coffin nails with red cinnabar in the same way as before.

After a burst of light, eleven golden evil-killing nails appeared on his desk.

After doing all this, Xu Zhiqing sat cross-legged on the ground and began to recover his magic power.

Taixuan Tianxin Zhengfa can help him recover his magic power quickly.

In just one hour, his magic power was restored by 10%.

However, he needs to slowly recover the energy he has consumed.

In addition to consuming mana, making the Evil-Slaying Nail is also extremely energy-consuming.

After Xu Zhiqing recovered a little, he put away the evil-suppressing talisman and evil-killing nail he had made.

Next, if the wolf demon and the weasel dared to come again, he would make sure those two monsters suffer.

Xu Zhiqing thought of the weasel’s stinky fart.

That stinky fart should be the weasel's means of attacking and escaping.

Just the smell made him feel a little dizzy.

If the yellow smoke hit his face, he estimated that he might faint on the spot.

When Xu Zhiqing finished doing all this and walked out the door, he saw an old lady waiting outside.

The old woman was the housekeeper that Ren Yingying hired from Shanliu Town. It was said that she used to be a housekeeper in a wealthy businessman's home.

Later, because something happened to her child at home, she could no longer stay in the rich businessman's house, so she returned to Shanliu Town.

"Auntie Liu, why are you here?"

"Master, it's time for dinner. I saw you didn't come out of your room, so I'm waiting for you here!"

Xu Zhiqing looked up at the sky and found that the sun was about to set.

"Auntie Liu, thank you for your help. Please ask someone to cook now!"

Although they were all practicing, they would not forget their appetite. Even the gods in heaven had to eat.

Some gods even covet food from the human world.

Compared with the human world, the gods in heaven are a little less interesting.

"Okay! Please wait a moment, sir!"

After saying this, Aunt Liu hurried away in small steps.

Xu Zhiqing looked at Aunt Liu's back and a smile appeared on his face.

Aunt Liu has been here for a few days and has managed some household affairs in order.

Aunt Liu wasn't the only one who came to the house, there were also several maids and a cook.

These people are all under the management of Aunt Liu.

Xu Zhiqing only needs to pay them silver money every month.

Dinner was not ready yet, so Xu Zhiqing returned to the house.

He continued to meditate and practice. Half an hour later, someone knocked on the door.

Dinner is ready.

The rice cooked is spiritual rice.

The spiritual energy in this place is obviously richer than that in Lingyun Cave, but the spiritual rice grown here turned into ordinary rice.

But the taste is better than ordinary rice.

Xu Zhiqing didn't know why, but he didn't insist on planting. He just planted and raised spiritual rice, spiritual fruits and spiritual beasts in Lingyun Cave.

If we only give it to a few of them, there will still be a lot left over.

The menu was arranged by Ren Yingying, which included braised spare ribs, steamed fish, poached chicken, scrambled eggs with shallots, stir-fried bamboo shoots, crispy white radish, and tomato and mushroom soup.

The chef knew only a few dishes, so Ren Yingying collected some cooking recipes and gave them to the chef.

Even if the chef doesn't work here anymore in the future, he can go out and open a restaurant.

These things are either spiritual plants or spiritual beasts.

Xu Zhiqing doesn't seem to eat as much as he used to.

After dinner, Xu Zhiqing asked Nie Feng and Bu Jingyun to take Youruo and Kong Ci back.

As for Lin Pingzhi, Qu Feiyan and another disciple Wen Long, they moved out after they became familiar with the place.

Wenlong liked living alone, so he spent money to buy a piece of land and lived his farmer's life every day.

Lin Pingzhi and Qu Feiyan went to the city of Lingzhou and opened a martial arts school.

When they first opened the martial arts school, some people tried to trouble them. But after they were taught a lesson by Qu Feiyan, no one dared to trouble them anymore.

Everyone has their own place to go and their own life.

Xu Zhiqing would not let every disciple live by his side.

There is no need for him to make arrangements for his current disciples.

After Nie Feng, Bu Jingyun and others left, Xu Zhiqing took out five evil-killing nails.

"Take this for self-defense. This is the Evil-Slaying Nail. It's very easy to use. Just pour some magic power into it and shoot it towards the target!"

"It doesn't have much effect on humans, it's usually for cinnabar monsters, ghosts, and the like!"

Upon hearing this, Xiaolongnu and the others took the Evil-Slaying Nail.

Xu Zhiqing accompanied a few people for a walk in the apricot forest, and then Xiaolongnu and others went back to practice.

Xu Zhiqing returned to the yard with seven evil-killing nails left in his hand.

He inserted the remaining seven evil-killing nails on the courtyard wall and on the plaque in front of the house.

In the past, he thought about Yao Ji being here, and didn't think about setting up any defensive measures.

This gave the two monsters an opportunity to take advantage of the situation.

After Xu Zhiqing set up the evil-killing nails, he took out the evil-suppressing talisman and pasted it on the beam of the main house.

Once a monster comes over, it will be injured by the evil-suppressing talisman.

If the evil-suppressing talisman reacts, the evil-killing nails buried nearby will be activated.

"This time, if you come again, you can eat wolf meat!"

What is the difference between the meat of spiritual beasts and the meat of monsters? Xu Zhiqing has not tasted it yet.

He had eaten ordinary wolf meat before, and it didn't taste very good.

So what about those who have cultivated to become spirits?

After arranging the defenses, Xu Zhiqing returned to the main house to rest.

Perhaps it was because the two monsters were intimidated by Xu Zhiqing's cultivation last time, and many days passed without them coming back.

Xu Zhiqing went to ask Yao Ji, and found out that Yao Ji did not interfere during her pregnancy.

"Are there many monsters in Erniu Mountain?"

After Xu Zhiqing finishes his practice, Yang Tianyou will come over.

If Yang Tianyou was not around, he would chat with Yao Ji for a while.

"The monster from Erniu Mountain..."

An apologetic expression appeared on Yao Ji's face.

"When I passed by Erniu Mountain, I saw a bull monster, but I didn't pay attention to the other monsters!"

She walked around the city of Lingzhou and warned all the monsters nearby.

She let go of some of the obedient ones.

As for those who disobeyed, she beat them up.

Some who were more evil were killed by her.

Yao Ji did not reveal her own identity either.

As soon as Xu Zhiqing saw Yao Ji's appearance, he knew that Yao Ji probably didn't remember Erniu Mountain carefully.

He thought of Yao Ji's identity and felt that she might be able to remember Erniu Mountain a little bit, maybe because the name of Erniu Mountain is relatively simple?

But Yao Ji did a good job. She even knew to go and warn the monsters nearby.

"Are there any powerful monsters around here?"

Xu Zhiqing was curious about this.

Yao Ji was a little confused. She thought for a while before she spoke: "It seems that there are no powerful monsters. I can kill or injure them in just three or five moves!"

Xu Zhiqing is somewhat autistic.

He looked at Yao Ji and couldn't help asking, "Sister-in-law, are there many gods in heaven?"

When Yao Ji heard what Xu Zhiqing said, she smiled.

"Of course there are many gods in heaven, but there is a limit to how many there are! However, there are still some gods who have not returned to their positions yet!"

Xu Zhiqing was a little curious when he heard the word "return".

"What kind of people can become gods?"

Yao Ji did not hide it either.

"For example, some people who have achieved success in cultivation. Or, if you want, Brother Xu, you can go to heaven and maybe be given a position as a god!"

"Also, some people with good deeds can go to heaven and become gods!"

"Brother Xu, I think you are not suitable for those gods in the heavenly palace?"

"Oh why?"

"You know that the Heavenly Court has its own rules. Do you think your personality is suitable for being a god?"

Yao Ji said softly: "Not to mention, you have several confidantes around you. If you become a god, what will they do?"

"Sister-in-law is right!"

Xu Zhiqing couldn't stand the constraints of heaven, and he certainly didn't like going to heaven to be a god.

Seeing this, Yao Ji chuckled and said, "With the vacancies in the Heavenly Court, if Sister Long and the others can cultivate and become immortals, you can also become immortal couples if you go to the Heavenly Court!"

When Xu Zhiqing heard Yao Ji say that the throne of God was vacant again, the only thing that came to his mind was two words: Conferring Gods. (End of this chapter)
