Chapter 55 A twist in the road

Chapter 55 A sudden turn of events
"I can't possibly kill all the clan leaders and clan elders in Hongliu Village who know about my existence. There is a saying in the book, 'Life and death are determined by fate and wealth.' Instead of worrying about your own safety, it's better... just play. Just play, practice when you need to practice, what are you thinking about?"

Liu Xianfeng, who was visiting the yard, sat on the edge of the chair.

She dangled her slender legs in an unladylike manner, pouted her little mouth and spoke nonchalantly.

Xu Yuanchang gave an appreciative look and said with a smile: "You have a free and easy mind, and you should be a role model for our generation. However, the protective arrangements that should be made in Bailin Valley must not be missing. Maybe they will abide by the instructions of the family god and will not go there again. Side story."

Liu Xianfeng rubbed his forehead with his fingers and said in anguish, "I can use the wooden method to make a few more arrangements, but it will easily leak traces of breath and be noticed by passing monks, which is not beautiful."

Xu Yuan said confidently: "In a few days, I will go to the county town to sell the talismans drawn during this period. With the spiritual coins earned by the two of us, we can make up six hundred. We can sell them at the Xianyuyuan shop. Buy a set of low-level arrays, spread them out at the bottom of Bailin Valley, and cover up the several arrangements you made. A two-pronged approach will make it safer."

Liu Xianfeng said happily: "You buy the wooden array device, I should be able to use it after I get familiar with it."

He added: "Even if you move in the future, you can take the array device with you."

She doesn't know the outside market and has no idea about spirit coins.

But her diligence and thriftiness are innate in her bones, stemming from her tireless love for treasures.

"Okay, let's settle it like this. This is called the Inexhaustible Path of Heaven. You can just play and practice in peace."

Xu Yuanchang did not tell him for the time being. He asked Yan Jiaoyu to help him find a temporary job. He thought it would be more appropriate to wait until the matter was settled.

The Bailin Valley training ground he wants to build can not only prevent the intrusion of robbery cultivators, but also not worry about searches from the government.

If you live here for a long time, you will inevitably attract the attention of passing monks.

Be prepared for danger in times of peace and take precautions before they happen.

Liu Xianfeng took out rice paper from nowhere and spread it flat in the air. She took out an eyebrow pencil and sketched the topography of Bailin Valley on the paper, talking enthusiastically about her ideas for the layout of the battle.

It should be adapted to local conditions, adapt to the situation without destroying the pattern of the valley, blend into the tree environment, etc.

Xu Yuanchang knew nothing about the formula. After watching it for a while, he retreated in defeat, leaving Xiao Shumei alone in the main room to conceive and draw pictures. He walked into the side room and drew a few talismans with his pen, regaining his confidence.

Breathe in and out for a while and adjust your mental state to the best state.

Xu Yuanchang took out his best talisman pen and spread out the jade-patterned talisman paper with one spiritual coin each. He concentrated and drew out the complicated communication runes with the pen.

He had practiced it countless times, and he had already mastered it by heart. He could draw without any sluggishness and complete the painting in one go.

However, the Qi Yun is not connected, and the Qi movement is not connected with the heaven and the earth.

Another expensive and useless talisman was added to the table. Xu Yuanchang was numb with failure during this period. He slowly put the talisman pen back into the pen holder, puzzled. Why couldn't he draw a communication talisman?
He didn't want to go to Xianyuyuan shop to ask An Ciyu for advice, and he couldn't make it difficult for An Ciyu to show the secret book to him, an outsider, privately.

Perhaps, he could ask Yan Ruoxing to help him find the reason.

I wonder if Yan Jiaoyu knows how to draw talismans?
After thinking for a moment, he laid out another piece of expensive jade-patterned talisman paper. Xu Yuan dipped his pen in red ink and drew the wooden shadow spike talisman with concentration. The ink dries instantly.

The third time he drew the single thorn talisman that became the wooden shadow spike talisman.

It's just that using jade-patterned talisman paper is a bit wasteful, and the single-thorn talisman sold in the shop only costs four spiritual coins each.

However, he is currently using cheap cloud-yellow talisman paper to draw single-thorn talismans. After ten drawings, not one of them is a perfect talisman. He has no temper at all. He still has insufficient control over the wood energy and pen power. He needs more time and practice.

The lingering rainy weather finally cleared up.

Xu Yuanchang finally received Yan Ruoxing's message again, inviting him to visit the academy.

At noon, Xu Yuanchang still saw the elegant Yan Jiaoyu in that elegant courtyard. After greetings and greetings, he took a seat in the pavilion.

Spring and scenery are bright, and the fragrance of flowers follows the wind.

Yan Ruoxing seemed carefree and informal, but in fact he had been observing the young Taoist priest with low cultivation across him for a long time. Every time they met, Xu Yuanchang's respectful etiquette was almost impeccable.

The first time we meet on the road does not count.

That kind of calmness and calmness that was revealed inadvertently made him wonder where the other party's confidence came from?
You must know that the little guys in the Gu Qi Realm of the Academy and Tao Palace did not dare to talk and laugh with him when they saw his amiable, elegant and handsome face.

How could it be like Xu Yuanchang sitting down on a chair with no gaps at all.

Whether he is pretending or not, he can still distinguish clearly with his tricks. Perhaps the calmness displayed by the Taoist priest opposite him was also the reason why Taoist Zhang Wang could not understand?

"Xu Yuanchang, I'll give you two choices. One is to go to Baiji Division in Qingping City and take up a false position as an inspection envoy. However, Baiji Division requires you to be on duty. If you are promoted to the Solid Qi Realm in the future, you can convert your false duty into a real duty. There is no need to sit on duty. So strict requirements.”

"What's the second option?"

Xu Yuanchang was a little curious. Wouldn't he be asked to come to the academy to take a part-time job?

Yan Ruoxing smiled and asked, "Does the monster catcher know?"

Xu Yuanchang nodded hurriedly: "I've heard of it, but I've never seen a real monster hunter."

Fake monster hunters like Kong Cai and Jiang Weiyan do not count.

"The Demon Catcher is also an official monk and is under the jurisdiction of Si Tiandian. It is a good way out for casual cultivators and cultivators from aristocratic families. Most of the monks in Baiji Si Yamen are selected from various sects. You can consider it. There is currently a vacancy for the Demon Catcher."

Yan Ruoxing briefly introduced and analyzed the differences between the two, focusing on recommending Monster Catcher.

This is the first time Xu Yuanchang has heard about Si Tiandian. There seems to be no Yamen called Si Tiandian in Qingping County?

Yan Ruoxing smiled and said: "It's normal that you haven't heard of Si Tiandian. Si Tiandian was established in the capital of our Daning Dynasty, which is Fengxian City. There is a stronghold in Qingping County. Few people know about it. If you are interested, I recommend you to take part in the assessment.”

Xu Yuanchang was speechless. He had to take the test by himself after a long time, and asked: "Can a monster hunter be given a false position?"

If he trades his merits for a job as an inspector of the Baiji Division and has to work every day, if he trades his freedom for an identity, he has to consider whether the deal is a good deal?

Or should you just keep the reward and look for other opportunities in the future?
Yan Ruoxing explained with a smile: "Monster catchers in the Qi-entraining realm have a lot of leisure time. It's almost like taking a temporary job. I've inquired about it. Demon catchers in the Qi-entraining realm don't have to go on missions. Even demon catchers in the Solid Qi realm don't go on a few missions a year. Three Working in groups of two, there is not much time to act alone, so the monster hunter has the opportunity to tame monsters and make them spiritual pets, any number of them are fine, and there is no need to spend money to buy them."

When Xu Yuanchang heard this, he was immediately moved. It was only natural for the monster hunter to have a spiritual pet.

He has given Liu Xianfeng an official identity and solved all his worries in one fell swoop. Should Liu Xianfeng's heartless little girl be okay with that?

In the human territory, all spirits and monsters live without human rights and face all kinds of inhumane disasters at any time.

"Please introduce me to participate in the monster catching assessment."

Opportunities often appeared inadvertently, and he waited for them again.

He found that Yan Ruoxing was really his noble man.

Except that some words and deeds seem absurd and unreliable.

Yan Ruoxing handed him a piece of paper, which said "Heiji Inn, Fulu Lane, Wendao Street, North City, Shopkeeper Hei", and also wrote the words "Yan Ruoxing strongly recommends", which was thick and colorful, as if it was a joke.

"I said hello in advance, you just go to the black shopkeeper."

Xu Yuanchang put away the note and said goodbye with fists in his hands.

No one on either side mentioned that if they failed the assessment, were there any other options?

"Excuse me, Yan Jiaoyu, do you know how to draw talismans?"

Before Xu Yuanchang left, he suddenly remembered something and stopped to ask for advice seriously.

Yan Ruoxing smiled and said: "Drawing talismans to catch ghosts is a Taoist's special skill. What do you ask me, a scholar, to do?"

What he understood was that words should be followed, words should be used, words should be used, and evil spirits could be cut down with a pen weighing ten thousand pounds.

To draw talismans to steal Taoist priests' business, isn't that putting the cart before the horse?

"I'm sorry for being abrupt!"

Xu Yuanchang hurriedly went out and left.

……

 Thanks to "Honest Bajiao's Next Door Laowang XD", "Xiao Shishi", "Yi Gu Qingcheng", and "Young Master Zhaixing" for their rewards and encouragement!
