Everything came to an end.

True Immortal Changsheng and Four-Eyes began to deal with the demon corpses on site and collect treasures.

Meanwhile, Zhong Bai followed True Immortal Qianyuan to a more secluded spot, intending to have a talk.

"Master, your disciple…"

Knowing what Zhong Bai wanted to say, True Immortal Qianyuan raised a hand, signaling Zhong Bai to stop.

Then, he showed a gratified smile and said, "What you wanted to say, you already explained very clearly in front of Patriarch Qinghe just now. To be honest, knowing how to hide one's strengths is very important, especially when you have some secrets. After all, an innocent man is accused because of his treasure.

I imagine that if you hadn't encountered this snake general demon, comparable to a Foundation Establishment True Monarch, your secret could have remained hidden.

However, Maoshan is Maoshan, not some obscure Taoist Sect.

There have been those with more exceptional talent than you over the past millennium, and probably those with deeper fortuitous encounters too.

Still, as I said before, Maoshan can protect you!"

True Immortal Qianyuan didn't want to continue this topic, so he then added, "I asked you to come with me not to dwell on this matter.

My disciple, seeing your cultivation speed now, though it seems incredible to me, similarly, such rapid cultivation is hard to sustain without timely replenishment of resources.

Taoist Sects emphasize wealth, companions, methods, and land. For example, your Supreme Clarity Body Forging Art should be perfected by now, right?

Your vital energy and blood are full and have condensed into a tough aura, and your arms possess ten thousand catties of strength. Tsk, tsk, tsk, honestly, if I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn't believe anyone could cultivate it to perfection before the Foundation Establishment realm.

If I hadn't known about your situation this time, would your physical cultivation have been put on hold?"

This question left Zhong Bai feeling a bit helpless.

Indeed, his Supreme Clarity Body Forging Art was already perfected, and the current strength of his physical body could withstand the immense pressure brought by the infusion of spiritual energy from heaven and earth.

However, as his cultivation gradually increased, its strength would certainly not be enough to sustain it…

And since the Supreme Clarity Body Forging Art was already perfected, unless he went to Maoshan to find another method, he would just be sitting on his Exorcism Points unable to use them.

"Master, your disciple understands."

Zhong Bai sighed. Perhaps he still lacked some trust in this world, or rather, in his master and Maoshan.

This was normal, but cultivation was like rowing against the current. If one gave up opportunities because of a lack of 100% trust, then it could only be said that they were being overly cautious and wasting opportunities.

"Hmph hmph, alright, being cautious is good. Since the Supreme Clarity Body Forging Art is already perfected, I can conveniently pass on the Supreme Clarity Dragon Elephant Art to you!

However… you also know the difficulties of the Supreme Clarity Dragon Elephant Art; whether you can succeed is hard to say.

Besides, if it can also be used in conjunction with the Golden Light Divine Incantation, your defense will be almost maxed out.

Of the eight great divine incantations of Taoism, the Golden Light Divine Incantation appears ordinary, but there's one thing: all eight great divine incantations are considered great Divine Abilities!

It's just that very few people can cultivate them to a profound level, which is why they seem to have little effect."

Hearing about the Golden Light Divine Incantation, Zhong Bai couldn't help but think of Longhu Mountain. Regarding this Divine Ability, Longhu Mountain was truly highly accomplished!

While Zhong Bai was pondering, True Immortal Qianyuan pointed a finger at Zhong Bai's glabella, and the cultivation content of the Supreme Clarity Dragon Elephant Art clearly imprinted itself in Zhong Bai's mind.

"I once held hope for this Supreme Clarity Dragon Elephant Art, but I couldn't make any progress, so I simply gave up the path of powerful physical cultivation.

Now, I'll pass it on to you, saving you a trip to the Scripture Repository Pavilion."

"And I'll give you the Golden Light Divine Incantation as well!"

Saying this, True Immortal Qianyuan continued to tap Zhong Bai's glabella. Seeing the extensive cultivation content in his mind, Zhong Bai was almost stunned.

The Supreme Clarity Dragon Elephant Art could actually be cultivated to the ninth layer to fight true dragons, and the Golden Light Divine Incantation, when cultivated to perfection, was comparable to condensing a Golden Lotus of Merit!

It could only be said that Zhong Bai had encountered too little and understood too little before.

"Your disciple thanks Master!"

Zhong Bai's mood at this moment was incredibly excited. The emotions of surviving a disaster were already hard to suppress, and his master's understanding moved him even more.

"Hahaha, my disciple of Qianyuan doesn't need to be like this. You are the future of the Law Enforcement Hall. I am already very happy to do these things. The faster you grow, the happier I will be!

If one day you can achieve the rank of Golden Core True Monarch, then even if I take up a position in the Underworld, I will have the face to meet your grandmaster and the former patriarchs of the Law Enforcement Hall!"

Saying this, a glimmer of hope flashed in True Immortal Qianyuan's eyes as he looked at Zhong Bai.

Zhong Bai, perhaps there was a chance!

"Master, your disciple will do his best!"

After the serious matters were discussed, the master and disciple talked about other things.

………………………………………………

"Ahem, disciple, honestly tell me, between you and that little girl named Hua Ling…"

As they chatted, True Immortal Qianyuan brought up Hua Ling.

Hmm?

Hearing Hua Ling's name, Zhong Bai was a bit surprised. His master was an elder of Maoshan, when did he ever have the opportunity to interact with Hua Ling?

"Uh… Master, Hua Ling and I merely met by chance."

"Is that so? Then why did you give her the Peace Buckle I gave you…"

"But… isn't that Peace Buckle just something you casually made for fun? I remember every outer disciple in the Law Enforcement Hall has one."

Hearing this, True Immortal Qianyuan rolled his eyes. Could the one he gave Zhong Bai be the same as the ones he gave to other outer disciples?

But there was no point in discussing it now. It had already been given away; could he really ask for it back?

Besides, given Zhong Bai's current cultivation speed, that Peace Buckle was indeed a bit redundant.

"Never mind. I won't interfere with Hua Ling's affairs. That girl is quite lucky. Despite being born to Grave Robbers and carrying the Ghost Cave Tribe's curse, it just so happens to be exactly what your Master Liuguang in the Pill Hall is looking for.

So, Hua Ling will enter the Maoshan Pill Hall.

If you have other ideas in the future, hehe…"

Zhong Bai's mouth twitched. His master's thoughts were really something.

"Master, let's not talk about Hua Ling for now. Her apprenticeship at Maoshan can be considered her good fortune.

There's something I need to ask you…"

With that, Zhong Bai recounted everything about the foreign vampire in Jiuquan Town.

Hearing this, True Immortal Qianyuan frowned slightly and said, "Actually, matters concerning the Blood Race from the West have occurred centuries ago.

However, back then, the Chinese Taoist Sects were flourishing, and the Blood Race was nothing more than rats in the shadows. Now that the Taoist Sects are somewhat in decline, it's only natural for them to come to China in large numbers.

Maoshan currently has no way to deal with this, nor can it locate the Western Blood Race.

However… my disciple, you can refine a flying sword from silver!

Even if it doesn't become a flying sword and only a magic artifact, it will be a great weapon against those vampire Blood Race members."

Zhong Bai was somewhat surprised by this.

"Surprised? All things exist in a cycle of mutual generation and restraint. It's true that ordinary Taoist spells are useless against the Western Blood Race, but silver just happens to counteract them!

Of course, actually, my disciple, you don't need to worry. After all, you cultivate the Divine Firmament Five Thunder Art. What evil entity in this world, regardless of its type, doesn't fear rolling heavenly thunder?

Under heavenly thunder, demons and monsters vanish without a trace!"

Zhong Bai nodded. Just as Zhong Bai was about to inquire about other foreign forces, Four-Eyes and his disciple, having finished disassembling the demon corpse, walked over excitedly.

"Hahaha, Junior Brother Qianhe, we're rich, we're rich!

Three Demon Cores from late-stage Demon Soldiers, and dozens of other Demon Cores from early and mid-stage Demon Soldiers! Just these alone could sell for more than ten thousand taels!

As for the demon blood and demon sinews, Senior Brother can't even be bothered to look at them now!"

No sooner had Four-Eyes finished speaking than his master's icy gaze fixed on him, making Four-Eyes freeze and instinctively lower his head a little.

"Hehe, Four-Eyes, my good disciple, your master traveled thousands of miles to rescue you. Shouldn't you offer your master some compensation?

I think these Demon Cores are quite good. You don't need them anyway. How can a disciple of the Taoist Sects be corrupted by money…"

"No, Master!"

After a bitter cry from Four-Eyes, only his pleading gaze, filled with pitiful light, remain
