Starting From A Fisherman To Cultivate Immortality And Live Forever

Chapter 98: Demon-Exorcising Youth, The Arrival of Spirits

Inside the Pot-Inspired Paradise.

Su Ping sat upright in the Dreamlike Temple and started drawing cards.

This time, he didn't do a ten consecutive draw, but chose to do a single draw for a miracle.

Trash can! Trash bin! Fox plush toy! Cat-shaped piggy bank...

After nine normal draws, a purple light finally appeared.

"Huh? It's a new partner card!"

Su Ping saw the figure that emerged under the purple light and sat up straight, showing an interested expression.

[Apprentice Demon-Exorcising Mage, Partner, Rarity: Rare, Exclusive to the Pot-Inspired Paradise, Upgradeable]

"Demon-Exorcising Mage?"

After reading the description, Su Ping immediately summoned this partner with curiosity.

In the blink of an eye, accompanied by a slight drop in the surrounding air temperature, a white-haired, white-eyed, handsome young man with short, refreshing hair and a light blue cloud-patterned robe appeared in front of Su Ping.

After landing, the white-haired youth curiously looked around before turning his gaze to Su Ping. He slightly bowed with a shy expression.

"Master of the Paradise, greetings."

"I am Yun Kong, an apprentice demon-exorcising mage!"

"I am naturally an ice-type spiritual body and possess ice-type innate spells. I should be quite good at dealing with various monsters and ghosts."

As he spoke about his expertise, the white-haired youth Yun Kong touched his head with a hint of lack of confidence.

"Finally, a partner who can fight, and he appeared in the Qi Refining later stage just like Baihe Tongzi."

"If he eats experience books, reaching the Great Perfection shouldn't be difficult. I wonder if there are any upgrade conditions to breakthrough to the Foundation Building stage?"

Su Ping scanned this demon-exorcising youth with his divine sense and made a rough judgment of his cultivation level.

Then, Su Ping asked this demon-exorcising youth to demonstrate his abilities in front of him.

So, in the Dreamlike Temple, the white-haired youth formed hand seals and let out a soft shout.

A burst of icy air erupted, turning an area of over ten meters into a frozen ground.

The reason why the cold air didn't spread further than ten meters was not because it couldn't, but to concentrate the cold air and enhance the killing power within this range.

And this eruption of icy air was just an appetizer. In the next instant...

A crystalline ice sword at least twenty meters long condensed above the white-haired youth's head, and it was about to fall...

"This place doesn't have automatic recovery!"

Su Ping suddenly realized the key point and quickly moved to the bottom of the ice sword. With the assistance of his Late Tempering Body and the North Dipper Greedy Wolf Fist, he struck out.

White qi enveloped his fist, and the generated fist intent instantly merged with the white qi phantom of the Greedy Wolf, striking the descending sword tip!

Immediately, a loud bang!

A tremendous sound resonated within the temple, almost deafening.

Yun Kong, the demon-exorcising youth, also realized that something was wrong and quickly retreated, stopping his own spell.

As a result, the shattered ice blocks of the sword rapidly melted and disappeared halfway.

Although it was a bit embarrassing, nothing worse happened.

Through that punch just now and with the help of his divine sense, Su Ping was able to roughly determine the combat power of his partner.

"That ice crystal sword just now was his innate spell? In the cultivation world, it would already be considered a certain kind of minor magical power, right?"

"Otherwise, a normal Qi Refining later stage cultivator's ultimate move wouldn't have such power, let alone be instantly cast!"

"Although I can't use it now, it's just an additional memory illusion."

"It should be very useful after he levels up!"

Su Ping took Yun Kong, the demon-exorcising youth, back to the Moon-Viewing Wind-Listening Pavilion, which he wasn't afraid of being damaged.

After arranging the room for him, she began trying to win him over.

Unlike the fox-faced shrine maiden who could be appeased with snacks and novels.

This exorcist boy, Yun Kong, preferred to slay demons and evil spirits.

However... the spirits buried in this hidden realm in the pot were not something he could slay. Su Ping was still useful.

Fortunately, by providing a room along with delicious food, fine wine, and good tea, the boy's favorability was slowly increasing.

After finishing everything, Su Ping calculated that it should be about time and transformed into the Rat Daoist, returning to the city of Gade.

...

Night fell.

At the mountain gate of the Nierpoga Temple in Gade City, a grand prayer ceremony was being held.

Thousands of people cheered and held torches, participating in the festive prayer ritual.

Hundreds of foreign-brand cars and trucks were parked on the side of the road, occasionally honking their horns to add to the atmosphere.

Several trucks were equipped with generators and sound systems, playing the necessary chanting sounds for the ceremony.

The chanting sounds, which should have been solemn, were mixed with various local accents, creating an illusion of chaotic dancing demons in the current scene.

Fortunately, there were no high-ranking monks nearby, and those rural monks believed that as long as it was lively, there was nothing wrong with it.

And they also prohibited these ignorant people from entering the temple outside of the ceremony.

This protected the tranquility inside the temple.

Side hall.

A middle-aged monk frowned slightly and put down his phone.

"These guys have no idea what they're facing."

"Huh! They actually think that Tafu Master's worship of Shanawaji is crazy?"

"Oh, gods, I also want the opportunity to be worshipped!"

The monk whispered in his heart, then added the intermediary who had just called him to persuade him to provide black material about the temple to his blacklist.

These guys who don't believe in mysteries at all actually want to find evidence of a scam, so they can control this "overseas dragon" as leverage.

They're asking for death, but please don't involve yourself!

The monk couldn't help but think of the disappeared members of the gang and shivered.

He felt that those people must have been eaten by the gods and demons!

Otherwise, why would there be no trace of them at the scene?

Shanawaji was arranged to stay in a room that had been renovated and never been occupied.

Outside, Tafu Master and more than ten disciples personally guarded, sitting on cushions and praying.

Shanawaji sat on the bed with some worry.

She had never attended school and relied on teachers hired by her clan for her education.

She knew the world through her family and the restricted internet.

To her, what her parents, especially her grandfather, said was the truth and must be right!

Shanawaji pursed her lips, trying to keep herself sitting upright on the bed.

But as it was time to sleep, drowsiness overwhelmed Shanawaji, making her sway.

Suddenly, the room became dim.

Squeak! Squeak! Squeak!

Both Tafu Master and Shanawaji heard the sound of a mouse at the same time.

They couldn't help but shiver, and all drowsiness disappeared!

Shanawaji widened her eyes and saw the door open automatically.

But unfortunately, apart from the squeaking sound, there was no sign of anyone.

"The ghost has arrived!"

Tafu the mage and the others were moved, all bowing their heads and not daring to look at what would happen in the room.

Su Ping used the invisibility spell to enter the room and looked at Shanawati with a fearful expression in her eyes.

This girl had a ponytail and distinct facial features, wearing a long dress that seemed to serve the gods, with gold and silver jewelry hanging from the dress.

She was a beauty that could rival a top star.

But that wasn't important. Su Ping was more interested in her spiritual body!

The blood symbol spiritual body!

A special type of spiritual body that all major immortal sects would pay special attention to.

Cultivators with this type of spiritual body would definitely be geniuses in talisman techniques.

At the same time, the blood of this spiritual body could imbue talismans, giving them a mysterious effect that increased the success rate of drawing talismans.

This was extremely important for talismans with particularly low success rates!

On top of this blood symbol spiritual body, the bloodline stone tablet also recorded a type of blood symbol holy body, whose blood could even forcibly increase the level of talismans.

Even in the Qi Refining stage, one could create talismans of the Foundation Building stage!

However, they were extremely rare and hard to come by. Even in the cultivation world, this type of holy body only existed in historical records.

"No need to be afraid."

Su Ping slowly bent down, pinching Shanawati's chin and comforting her.

Then, a pendant transformed from the invitation letter appeared in front of Shanawati's eyes.

She was unable to see the invisible Su Ping, but she was terrified to find that the pendant flew towards her neck in mid-air and intimately stuck to her skin.

Just when she was confused and felt no sensation, a gentle voice sounded in her ear.

Shanawati was certain that she had never heard this language before, but she understood the meaning within.

Remembering her grandfather's teachings, Shanawati closed her eyes and chose to agree!

As a result, Shanawati disappeared from the room.

The squeaking sound and cold wind also disappeared in that moment.

Tafu the mage and the others felt that there was no movement. They trembled and timidly raised their heads, only to see an empty room.

"The ghost! The ghost has taken Shanawati away!"

"Shanawati will become the witch of the ghost! We will also receive the protection of the ghost!"

Tafu the mage was also someone who understood how to exaggerate. He immediately shouted out.

Soon, this news spread, and other mages also heard about the exaggerated process of Shanawati being taken away.

Making their mouths even more sour...

Inside the hidden realm.

With a moment of dizziness, Shanawati found herself sitting on the grass all of a sudden.

After involuntarily opening her eyes, this beautiful girl realized that she had arrived in a place filled with gloom, white mist, and black shadows everywhere.

There were also ghostly fires jumping and flickering, emitting eerie laughter.

Tears welled up in Shanawati's eyes. Thanks to Tafu the mage's teachings, she had been exposed to images of these ghosts and demons a long time ago.

Combined with the realization that everything was real and that she had truly been chosen by the ghost, she managed to hold back her tears.

"Hehehe!"

The Rat Daoist laughed and personally came to receive Shanawati.

Seeing the Rat Daoist, Shanawati trembled and greeted him in the common Eastern language.

Su Ping was not surprised by this. It was common for disciples of the family to be proficient in the common Eastern language in these surrounding areas.

Even many wealthy families that had been rooted for thousands of years originally came from the East and had never forgotten their written and spoken language.

Su Ping nodded slightly and led Shana Wate to the back mountain of the burial ground, near the giant locust tree.

It seemed like a wave of the hand, but in reality, Su Ping used the permissions of the Hidden World in the pot.

In front of Shana Wate, a house that was drawn from a card suddenly rose from the ground.

Then, Su Ping took out a storage bag and took out various living supplies and tools.

The Rat Daoist then gave Shana Wate some instructions, telling her to cultivate here.

At the same time, he promised Shana Wate that when she succeeded in her cultivation, she could take a break and visit her family.

After a moment of confusion, Shana Wate gradually came back to her senses.

As a naturally spiritual being, she was naturally intelligent and had a similar desire for cultivation as the Little Daoist.

Previously, she was only lacking the environment and opportunity.

Now, with good fortune, she immediately knelt in front of Su Ping and thanked him for his teachings.

She also made a blood oath to show her loyalty.

Out of respect for the blood symbol spirit body, Su Ping gave Shana Wate a little external force to help her smoothly enter the Qi Refining stage.

Then, in addition to the Qi Refining introductory technique similar to the Little Daoist, Su Ping gave her the initial understanding of talismans and the talisman chapter of the Qi Refining stage.

After leaving some relevant practice materials, he left.

In the most high-end hotel suite in Gade City, which was currently invested by Eastern investors.

Several bosses who had been operating the underground market in Gade City for decades gathered together to discuss recent strange events.

Soon, they received phone calls one after another, learning that their attempts to recruit and test those mages had all failed.

And among them, there were several who had previously taken money from them as friendly partners.

This time, they ruthlessly refused and blocked them!

This made these local bosses smell something abnormal.

"This business is difficult, whether it's ghosts or gods, to make so many people lose their power overnight... None of us here can do it, right?"

"Those mages, others may not know, but can we not know their details?"

"They are just a group of money-grubbing charlatans and ignorant landlords. How could they suddenly cooperate so closely..."

"I would rather believe that there are really ghosts and gods than believe that they suddenly prepared to work together and make that temple bigger and stronger."

"I have investigated the ceremonies held by that temple during this period, they didn't make any money at all!"

A slightly chubby man was the first to speak up, saying that there was a problem and he was ready to quit.

The others remained silent for a while, and then a Mediterranean man said, "To be honest, even General Bahadur's confidant disappeared last time."

"The General is very angry and wants us to find out who did it and how!"

Upon hearing this, the others were slightly startled and understood. No wonder so many people came to investigate in Gade City. It turned out that the arrogant and domineering warlord's people were also affected.

But confidants and the like were just for show. Even roadside soldiers could be considered close relatives when it came to extortion.

However, judging from the fact that these Easterners did not openly come to trouble those mages during this period...

Was that General also wary of ghosts and gods?

Hmm... come to think of it, which small force in Nielbo and even the surrounding small countries wouldn't be wary of these ghosts and gods?

This is not a question of whether the people above believe it or not, but whether the majority of people supporting them believe it or not.

Without figuring this out, even if they successfully extorted a large sum of money, they would not be able to sleep peacefully, right?

If most of the people below believe that the General has offended the ghosts and gods and will be punished, it would provide an opportunity for those with ulterior motives and forces to take advantage of!

As they pondered, some people in the room wanted to make this money and take advantage of the warlord's connections.

There were also those who firmly decided to quit and didn't want to get involved in this mess.

At this time, they received news that Tapu the mage's granddaughter had been taken away by the ghosts and gods personally, and it happened in front of many mage disciples... she just disappeared like that!

Wishing everyone a happy Dragon Boat Festival, full of blessings! (σ≧▽≦)σ.
