Start as a Temple Spirit

Chapter 115 Old Taoist Priest

"You'll be able to do it if you practice more. Is that what people say?" Yiliu really wanted to curse, but after thinking about it, he decided not to.

Otherwise, Yang Chao would get angry and the guilt would be too deep, so he couldn't betray his son anymore.

"Hmm," the old patriarch cleared his throat and said to everyone, "There's no rush for this summoning technique. Let's talk about other secrets."

Yifeng nodded and said, "The body-refining technique is suitable for warriors to practice and lay a solid foundation. The Qi and Blood Pills refined by Liangshan will be of great use this time."

"The beast taming secrets go to the sixth brother, the elixir formula goes to the third sister, the soul cultivation secrets can be practiced by all spiritual practitioners, and as for the mechanical arts, the second brother and Xiao Chao will study them."

Everyone nodded in agreement, there was nothing wrong with this arrangement.

Yihuo drank a cup of tea, looked at everyone mysteriously and said, "Have you noticed that these six basic secret books are very suitable for our Forgotten Town, as if they were destined to be together."

When these words were spoken, everyone thought about it and realized it was true. Then they all looked at Shang Liangshan at the same time, because this matter was very mysterious.

Since his birth, there have been many mysterious events in the Forgotten Town.

Shang Liangshan pretended not to see it and looked up at the moon, because this matter could not be explained.

When everyone saw this, they realized that this matter was too mysterious to be explained, so they could only talk about other issues, such as how ghosts love each other and discuss life.

This is a topic that can be talked about for a lifetime. Don't gather casually, just be respectful.

Time passes slowly and never comes back. When you close your eyes and open them again, another day has passed. If you can't open them again, it's over.

Yiliu, who was training the Silver Wolf Guard in the forest, suddenly heard a sound of breaking air. He looked up and saw an old Taoist priest with a fairy-like appearance, wielding a thick whisk and whistling towards him. He was really quite unique.

This scene made Yi Liu dumbfounded. He had heard of flying on swords, flying on clouds, and flying on birds, but he had never heard of flying on a whisk.

Today, I really got it right in one step. How could I not be dumbfounded when I saw the old Taoist priest flying with his whisk?

"Awoo" the silver wolves howled together, without showing any ferocity, as if they were greeting the old Taoist priest who was roaring towards them.

The old Taoist priest floated down from the whisk, folded up the whisk with a wave of his hand, and landed in front of Yiliu, bowing and saying: "My friend, the Forgotten Country is ahead."

"Oh oh oh." Yiliu came back to his senses, clasped his fists and returned the greeting, saying: "The Forgotten Township is ahead. May I ask where the Taoist priest comes from?"

"Haha, my friend, you already have an idea in your mind." The old Taoist priest smiled amiably.

"What the Taoist said is true. I was overthinking it."

"Hey, my friend, there is no need to be so cautious. When I came here, I saw many evil people coming this way with great momentum."

"Evil people? Are you talking about bandits?"

"That's right. There are quite a few people, nearly 10,000. They are about 70 to 80 miles away from here. There are some evil people mixed in with them, but their strength is not strong. There is one sixth-grade evil cultivator and two fifth-grade evil cultivators."

"Master, are you here to help us in Forgotten Township?"

"That's not the case. I just wandered around in the mountains for too long, so I came to stay at Xuanyuan."

"I see. Please come in, Taoist Priest." Yiliu made a gesture of invitation.

"Young man, don't you want to tame wolves?" said the old Taoist priest, pointing at the silver wolves that were gathering together.

"It's untamed. There's still a long way to go. The more important thing is the bandits' invasion."

"Then I'll have to trouble you to lead the way."

"It's my honor." So Yiliu led the way, the old Taoist priest was in the middle, and the Silver Wolf followed behind, and the two of them and a group of wolves walked towards the Forgotten Township.

Of course, conversation was inevitable on the way. The old Taoist priest's approachable manner made Yiliu's reservedness disappear, and they started to talk and laugh.

Yihuo was leading a team to level the land when he suddenly saw a silver wolf running happily out of the forest and heading towards the river. He was stunned, wondering why the silver wolf came back so early today.

Then, he saw Yiliu and an old Taoist priest walking towards him, talking and laughing. He couldn't help but ask Yiliu, "Old Six, who is this Taoist priest?"

"This Taoist priest is the elder of Xuanxu, Taoist priest Xuanzhen." Yi Liuchong introduced Taoist priest Xuanzhen: "Taoist priest, this is the fifth elder of our Forgotten Township, Yihuo."

"Greetings to you, young friend Yihuo." Taoist Master Xuanzhen bowed to Yihuo in a friendly manner.

"Oh, Taoist priest, you are too polite. We are all family. Would you like to drink some wine and eat some meat?" Yihuo clasped his fists in return.

"Oh" Taoist Xuanzhen was stunned at first, then laughed and said: "I can still eat two catties of meat and drink one catty of wine."

"Haha, the Taoist priest is straightforward, just like Taoist priest Liu." Yihuo said as he stepped forward and started asking questions like a curious baby.

In response, Yiliu could only smile apologetically towards Taoist Xuanzhen. The latter did not care and answered all of Yihuo's curiosity like a kind elder.

When crossing the river, the difference in strength became apparent.

Taoist Master Xuanzhen crosses the river like lotus steps, while Yihuo crosses the river by stepping on water splashes, just like frying fish.

Yiliu's way of crossing the river was special. He crossed the river by stepping on the back of a silver wolf that was catching fish in the water.

"Master Taoist, you are the elder of Xuanxu. Your cultivation should be very powerful, right? Are you a ninth-grade Spirit King?" Yihuo asked curiously on the way.

“No, no, no. I am at the eighth level of the True Spirit Realm, which is still far from the ninth level. Moreover, the ninth level is the supreme elder in the Xuanxu Sect.” Taoist Master Xuanzhen did not hide it.

"The eighth rank is also very, very powerful. I am not like me who has lived for more than fifty years and is only at the fourth rank of the Naling Realm."

"My friend, do you know how old I am?"

"80" came out of his mouth.

"Why 80?"

"80 old man, you are like an immortal."

"Haha, young man, that's really interesting, but you sound too young. I'm already 300 years old."

"Three hundred years?" Yihuo couldn't help but count on his fingers. 300 years is equivalent to how many lives he has lived.

"Master, it is said that those at the high stage of the fifth rank can live for more than 200 years. Is that true?" Yiliu asked curiously.

"Indeed." Taoist Priest Xuan Zhen nodded and said, "The way of cultivation, to put it bluntly, is to fight for life with heaven. Well, your temple spirits don't count. As long as they continue to receive incense, they can live forever."

"Can a low level survive for a long time?" Yihuo was a little skeptical.

"It is true that they can live forever, but their consciousness will disintegrate. It can be considered an alternative rebirth."

"Where is Xuan Ling?" Yi Liu asked.

"Xuan Ling? I forgot that the temple spirits in your village are now at the sixth level. It should not be difficult to achieve the seventh level. As long as the incense is continuously burned, the consciousness of the seventh level Xuan Ling can be maintained for two to three thousand years."

"Two or three thousand years!" Upon hearing this, Yihuo's eyes widened instantly and he started counting with his fingers again.

"No need to be so surprised. I can live for two or three thousand years."

"Gu" Yihuo and Yiliu couldn't help swallowing their saliva when they heard this. This guy is too lucky.

But Taoist Xuanzhen said: "If you become a king of the ninth rank, you can live for five thousand years."

"This is unbelievable, unbelievable." Yihuo Kuang raised his finger.

Taoist Xuanzhen couldn't help but laugh heartily when he saw this. The villagers were really simple and honest.
