The Bloody Taoist

The fifth day of the first lunar month is the "Powu" day in traditional customs. This day has many specialties such as opening the market and welcoming the God of Wealth.

Opening the door in the morning, Shifang Inn ushered in a new day.

There were not many people in the lobby of the inn today. There were only a few old customers. Apparently it had just opened and there was not much business.

Shopkeeper Lao Liu stood behind the counter, greeting his acquaintances with a smile on his face.

In a corner of the inn hall, Liu Baozi was clearing the dining table quickly and skillfully. He was obviously used to this kind of work.

Bahu came out of the kitchen carrying a tray of steaming food, while Qihu wiped the table with a rag and moved the chair in front of Bahu.

The two brothers cooperated tacitly, and the whole scene was orderly.

At this time, Xiao Suli walked into the front hall and shouted to Liu Baozi: "Brother Baozi, the young master calls you over!"

Upon hearing this, Liu Baozi quickly put down the rag in his hand and followed Su Li to the backyard.

In the center of the courtyard, Zuo Yinyang was sitting on a large special chair, holding a jade slip in his hand with a focused expression.

The jade slip was obtained from Jiang Lingzi in exchange for eighty spirit stones a few days ago. It contains several simple spells and common sense that need to be paid attention to in the evil refining realm, which is just suitable for the current Zuo Yin and Yang.

"Master, are you looking for me?" Liu Baozi stepped forward and asked respectfully.

Zuo Yinyang put down the jade slip and pointed at the chair to indicate for him to sit down.

"Here you go, Leopard! Actually, it's nothing serious. I just heard that your father came to see you again yesterday?"

Liu Baozi looked a little sad when he heard this and said:

"Yes, he asked me to go back with him again, but I really didn't want to pay attention to him.

The day before yesterday, when I went to the Salesian Bureau to pay Uncle Liu a New Year greeting, Uncle Liu advised me that my father still runs to the gambling house every now and then, so I should follow you and ignore my father! "

Zuo Yinyang smiled and comforted:

"Don't worry, whatever you decide, I respect your choice.

Well, if your father comes to see you again, you tell him that I want to see him. "

Liu Baozi looked at Zuo Yinyang with some worry.

"Master, do you want to see him?"

"Well, I just wanted to talk to him about you.

After all, he is your biological father, so some things are better said in person.

Okay, go get busy. "

"Yes, Master!" Although Liu Baozi was confused, he still respectfully stepped back.

Zuo Yinyang picked up the jade slip in his hand again and sank into his spiritual thoughts.

At the stage of cultivation in the Evil Refining Realm, the monk's first task is to carefully cultivate and thoroughly refine the evil spirits in the body.

Different from the previous stage, the monks at this time no longer rely on external sources of evil spirits, but can directly transform spiritual energy into specific evil spirits through their own practice.

All this stems from the power of evil spirits in the body. When a monk breathes out spiritual energy, part of the spiritual energy will be automatically converted into evil spirits.

This self-sufficient ability allows monks to no longer need additional evil energy support during the cultivation process, and can focus on refining spiritual energy to improve mana and cultivation.

As the monks continue to refine and improve, the evil spirits in their bodies will gradually become more perfect.

Every practice makes the evil spirit seeds purer and the power contained becomes more powerful.

Finally, when the evil spirit seeds are cultivated flawlessly by the monks and reach perfection, the monks can then enter the next stage of cultivation.

At this time, the monk will perform a crucial operation: refining the evil spirit seeds in the body.

Through this process, the monk can fully understand the magical power contained in the evil spirit seed, and deeply integrate it into his soul and turn it into instinct.

From now on, this magical power will no longer consume the monk's mana, and will become a natural ability like breathing, which can be used at will.

This marks that the monk has reached perfection in the evil refining realm and can enter the next step of cultivation in the refining gang realm.

For most monks, they will basically be trapped in this realm in this life, and it will be difficult to go further.

Ever since Zuo Yin Yang entered the Evil Refining Realm, he temporarily stopped practicing in order to prevent the abnormality behind him from further expanding.

Sure enough, as long as he stopped absorbing spiritual energy, the abnormality behind him would quiet down and stop changing.

···

After a while, Zuo Yinyang put down the jade slip again. He raised his head and looked at He Qingni's room, his lips moving slightly.

Not long after, He Qingni came out of the room with a different look on his face.

"When did you learn the secret voice transmission technique?"

Zuo Yinyang raised the jade slip in his hand and said with a smile: "Haha, I just learned it, give it a try and see the effect.

On the other hand, fellow Taoist He, who is hiding in his room all day long, is practicing some profound Taoism? "

He Qingni came to Zuo Yinyang and said excitedly: "I can't practice advanced Taoism, but I will soon have a high-level magic weapon."

Ever since he saw Zuo Yinyang's natal magic weapon, He Qingni felt quite jealous.

So he thought about it again and again, and years later he went to seek help from General Lingzi under pressure, hoping to get guidance.

Although he already has a natal magic weapon, he still wants to refine an ordinary magic weapon to make up for his shortcomings.

After listening to his request, Jiang Lingzi happily agreed to him with a smile, and expressed his willingness to sell him a rare spiritual material at a low price, and also promised to personally guide him in refining a high-quality magic weapon.

He Qingni was overjoyed after hearing this, so he immediately ran to the Qintian Prison and exchanged all the merits in his hands for spiritual materials. He also spent all his savings and bought a blank of the magical artifact from Jiang Lingzi. Prepare to refine a high-level magic weapon yourself.

"Hmm? You can refine a top-grade magic weapon in just a few days?" Zuo Yinyang was a little unconvinced.

He Qingni said with dissatisfaction: "Why, you, a cultivator with Qi Sense Realm, can refine a life-defining magic weapon within a day. With the help of Senior Jiang Lingzi, can't I refine a high-grade magic weapon?"

"That's not what I meant. My life-defining magic weapon was also created by chance within a day, and I also received the full assistance of Senior Jiang Lingzi.

It seems that Fellow Daoist He is also a person with great opportunities. I wonder what the top-grade magic weapon you have refined is. Can you let me open my eyes first?" Zuo Yinyang asked with a smile.

Hearing this, He Qingni looked around, and then came to Zuo Yinyang mysteriously.

Then, a green light flashed, and something appeared in his hand.

"This treasure is called 'Netherworld Hidden Qi Bone'. It is made from the top-grade spiritual bone I begged from Senior Jiang Lingzi.

This item can not only hide my cultivation and breath, but also enhance my spiritual thoughts, making me more sensitive, and helping me better understand the evil spirit in my body."

He Qingni became more and more proud as he spoke, and the smile on his face could not be concealed.

"This is a rare top-grade auxiliary magic weapon, which may not be worse than your blood coffin, haha!"

Zuo Yinyang looked at the child's hand bones crawling like spiders in He Qingni's hands. It was as black as ink, and the surface was faintly shiny. It seemed to be exactly the same as the magic weapon on his chest.

The corners of his mouth twitched slightly, and his thoughts turned in his mind.

"It's so powerful. It seems that Senior Jiang Lingzi really helped fellow Daoist He refine a top-grade magic weapon!" Zuo Yinyang praised on the surface.

He Qingni nodded with satisfaction, pinched his fingers, and the Netherworld Hidden Qi Bone went into his sleeve along his arm.

"Just a little bit more, in a few days, I will be able to completely refine this magic weapon.

Last time I encountered a strange environment, I found that our methods were too simple. That paper man Zhang and I are both green-clothed patrols, with various spells emerging one after another, and can deal with various situations.

Fellow Daoist Zuo, relying on the life magic weapon alone is not enough.

In the future, we must also collect more other treasures and prepare multiple methods, so that if we encounter similar situations again, we will not be helpless."

Zuo Yinyang nodded and then said:

"Fellow Daoist He is right.

When do you think we should go to the Imperial Observatory to take on the next mission?"
