Everything came to an end.
True Immortal Changsheng and Four-Eyes began dealing with the demon carcasses at the scene and collecting the treasures.
Meanwhile, Zhong Bai followed True Immortal Qianyuan to a faraway place, intending to have a talk.
"Master, disciple..."
Knowing what Zhong Bai wanted to say, True Immortal Qianyuan raised a hand to signal him to stop.
Then, he wore a gratified smile and said, "What you want to say has already been explained very clearly just now in front of Patriarch Qinghe. To be honest, knowing how to hide one's brilliance is very important, especially when you have some secrets of your own; after all, an ordinary man is not guilty, but his jade ring becomes a crime.
I suppose that if you hadn't encountered this snake general demon comparable to a Foundation Establishment True Person this time, your secret could have continued to be hidden.
However, Mount Mao is Mount Mao, not some nameless Taoist Sect.
There are those with greater natural talent than you in the thousands of years, and I'm afraid there are also those with deeper fortuitous encounters than you.
Still the same saying, Mount Mao can protect you!"
True Immortal Qianyuan did not want to continue this topic, and then said, "The reason I asked you to follow me over here is not to dwell on this matter.
Disciple, looking at your cultivation speed now, although it makes Master feel incredible, at the same time, such a fast cultivation speed is hard to sustain without a timely supplement of resources.
The Taoist Sects emphasize wealth, companions, methods, and land. It's just like how your Supreme Clarity Body Forging Art should already be at consummation, right?
The vital energy and blood within your body are full and turned into genuine-energy, and your arms possess ten thousand catties of strength. Tsk tsk tsk, to be honest, if I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, Master wouldn't have dared to believe that someone could cultivate to consummation before the Foundation Establishment realm.
If Master hadn't known about your situation this time, would your physical body cultivation have been put on hold?"
This question made Zhong Bai feel a bit helpless.
Indeed, his Supreme Clarity Body Forging Art had already reached consummation, and the current strength of his physical body could also support the huge pressure brought by the irrigation of heaven and earth spiritual qi.
However, along with his cultivation improving step by step, this strength was definitely not enough to support it...
Moreover, the Supreme Clarity Body Forging Art was already at consummation. Unless he went up Mount Mao to seek another method, he could only guard his Exorcism Points in vain without being able to use them.
"Master, this disciple understands."
Zhong Bai sighed. Perhaps he still lacked some trust in this world, or rather, lacked trust in his own master and Mount Mao.
This was normal, but cultivation was a matter of sailing against the current. If he gave up some opportunities just because of not having one hundred percent trust, it could only be said that he was overly cautious and wasted the timing.
"Hengheng, alright, caution is a good thing. Since the Supreme Clarity Body Forging Art has already reached consummation, then Master can happen to pass the Supreme Clarity Dragon Elephant Art on to you!
However... you also know the difficulties of the Supreme Clarity Dragon Elephant Art; it's hard to say whether you can succeed.
Besides that, if you can also use it in coordination with the Golden Light Divine Incantation, your defense can almost be maxed out.
Among the eight great Taoist incantations, the Golden Light Divine Incantation looks unremarkable, but there is one point, which is that all eight great incantations are considered grand supernatural spells!
It's just that very few people can cultivate them to a profound realm, which is why they think they have no use."
Hearing the Golden Light Divine Incantation, Zhong Bai couldn't help thinking of Longhu Mountain. Regarding this divine spell, Longhu Mountain could be said to have profound attainments!
Just as Zhong Bai was pondering, True Immortal Qianyuan pointed at the center of Zhong Bai's brow, and the cultivation method content concerning the Supreme Clarity Dragon Elephant Art was clearly imprinted in Zhong Bai's mind.
"Master also held hope for this Supreme Clarity Dragon Elephant Art back then, but it simply couldn't make an inch of progress, so I simply gave up the path of physical strength.
Now I happen to pass it on to you, which also saves you a trip to the Scripture Repository Pavilion."
"And the Golden Light Divine Incantation will be given to you as well!"
As he spoke, True Immortal Qianyuan continued to point at the center of Zhong Bai's brow. Looking at the full content of the cultivation methods in his mind, Zhong Bai was almost dumbfounded.
The Supreme Clarity Dragon Elephant Art could actually be practiced all the way to the ninth layer to wrestle with true dragons, and cultivating the Golden Light Divine Incantation to consummation was comparable to condensing a merit golden lotus!
It could only be said that what Zhong Bai had contacted before was still too little, and the things he understood were still half-understood.
"This disciple kowtows to thank Master!"
Zhong Bai's mood at the moment could be described as quite excited. The emotion of surviving a catastrophe was already somewhat hard to suppress, and his own master's understanding moved him even more.
"Hahaha, my Qian Yuan's disciple doesn't go in for that sort of thing. You are the future of the Law Enforcement Hall; Master is already very happy to do these things. The faster you grow, the happier Master is!
If one day, you can achieve the Golden Core True Monarch realm, then even if Master takes office in the netherworld, I will have the face to face your grand-master and the former patriarchs of the Law Enforcement Hall!"
As he spoke, a flash of hope crossed the gaze True Immortal Qianyuan cast toward Zhong Bai.
Zhong Bai perhaps had a chance!
"Master, this disciple will do his best!"
After finishing the official business, the master and disciple chatted about other things.
"Ahem, disciple, honestly speaking, between you and that little girl named Hua Ling..."
As they chatted, True Immortal Qianyuan brought up the matter of Hua Ling.
Hmm?
Hearing Hua Ling's name, Zhong Bai was somewhat surprised. His own master was a Mount Mao elder; when would he ever have the opportunity to come into contact with Hua Ling?
"Uh... Master, this disciple and Hua Ling are merely acquaintances by chance."
"Is that so? Then you even gave her the Peace Buckle I gave you..."
"But... isn't that Peace Buckle something you casually refined to play with? I remember that every outer-disciple of the Law Enforcement Hall has one."
Hearing this, True Immortal Qianyuan rolled his eyes. Could what he gave Zhong Bai be the same as what he gave other outer-disciples?
However, saying this now was useless; he had already given it away—could he ask for it back?
Besides, according to Zhong Bai's current cultivation speed, that Peace Buckle was indeed somewhat tasteless.
"Forget it. Master won't meddle in the affairs of this girl Hua Ling. This girl has pretty good luck. Clearly born to grave robbers, she can still carry the curse of the Ghost Cave Tribe. This happens to play right into the hands of your Pill Hall Senior Brother Liuguang.
Therefore, Hua Ling has entered the Mount Mao Pill Hall.
In the future, if you have other thoughts, heh heh..."
The corner of Zhong Bai's twitched. His own master's thoughts really went there.
"Master, let's leave the matter of Hua Ling aside for now. Her being able to take a Mount Mao master can also be considered her fortuitous encounter.
There is a matter this disciple needs to ask Master about..."
Taking the opportunity, Zhong Bai recounted the whole affair about that Western vampire in Jiuquan Town.
Hearing this, True Immortal Qianyuan furrowed his brows slightly and said, "Actually, regarding the matter of the Western Blood Race, it happened as early as several hundred years ago.
However, back then the Huaxia Taoist Sects flourished, and the Blood Race were merely rats in the dark. Now the Taoist Sects have declined somewhat, so it's completely normal for them to come to Huaxia in a massive scale.
Mount Mao has no way to manage this matter for the time being, nor can we find the traces of the Western Blood Race.
However... disciple, you can refine a flying sword using silver!
Even if it doesn't become a flying sword and is only a dharma artifact, when facing those vampire Blood Race, it is a great lethal weapon."
At this, Zhong Bai was somewhat surprised.
"Surprised? All things generate and restrain each other. It's true that ordinary Taoist spells are useless against the Western Blood Race, but silver just happens to restrain them!
Of course, actually, disciple, you don't have to worry either. After all, what you practice is the Divine Firmament Five Thunder Art. All evil spirits in the world, regardless of their type, who does not fear rolling heavenly thunder?
Beneath heavenly thunder, demons and monsters are wiped out completely!"
Zhong Bai nodded. Just as Zhong Bai wanted to continue inquiring about other foreign forces, Four-Eyes and his disciple, who had finished dismembering the demon carcass, walked over with excitement on their faces.
"Hahaha, Junior Brother Qianhe, we've struck it rich, struck it rich!
Three late-stage demon soldier demon cores, plus dozens of other early and mid-stage demon soldier demon cores—just these alone can sell for more than tens of thousands of liang!
As for those demon blood and demon tendons, Senior Brother can't even be bothered to look at them now!"
As soon as Four-Eyes finished speaking, he saw his master's cold gaze staring right at him, making Four-Eyes freeze up and somewhat subconsciously lower his head.
"Heh heh, Four-Eyes, my good disciple, your master came thousands of li to rescue you. Shouldn't you give your master some reward?
Master thinks these demon cores are quite good. Anyway, you have no use for them either. How can a Taoist disciple be corrupted by money..."
"No, Master!"
After a bitter cry from Four-Eyes, all that remained was that eager gaze brimming with a pitiful glow...
Before you continue
