Chapter 302 The Battle Begins
Liu Xue pointed her finger, and the talisman immediately emitted rays of light. The ears of the people around could not help but echo with bursts of wonderful sounds. Then everyone felt as if they were in a fairyland, and their whole body felt extremely comfortable.

"go with!"

With a flick of his finger, the talisman floated towards the two young men.

The people around who had recovered a little from the shock showed complex expressions of envy, jealousy, and a hint of sarcasm.

"Liu Xue, what you did was really unkind!"

A chuckle was heard, and Chu Tai walked in step by step. He stretched out his hand and pointed, and a clear light also emerged, holding two talismans.

He looked back at the two confused teenagers, felt the "fate" entangled between them, and whispered a few words, each of which pointed directly to the key to their practice.

Upon hearing this, the two could not help but move their internal energy, successfully grasping the opportunity, condensing their qi and blood, and entering the realm of martial arts.

Seeing this, the immortal old man above narrowed his eyes slightly and said in a cold voice: "May I ask where you are from, fellow Taoist, and why are you stopping me from instructing my disciples?"

"Instructing disciples, or using the name of instruction to perform the method of collecting and replenishing? Using the method of planting talismans, you inject your own true Qi into the bodies of young people who are about to break through, and then use their spirits and Qi to cultivate your own true Qi during their cultivation process, forming special talismans, and finally taking them back to improve your own foundation. This trick of yours can be regarded as an evil technique, a demonic magic."

Chu Tai did not give Liu Xue any face at all, and many people in the crowd watching on the side lowered their heads.

Liu Xue did not deliberately conceal what she did. Outsiders might not be clear about it, but as people living in the Taoist temple, how could they not see what Liu Xue's so-called guidance was.

But there were indeed some Taoist children in the past who achieved success in their practice, so everyone has a certain sense of luck and believes that they can also achieve something.

In addition, Liu Xue would also give elixirs to those disciples who had their essence collected to replenish their losses. As long as they kept the secret after going down the mountain, it would not affect their future life. This made many people regard it as a shortcut to jump up their social class.

Therefore, when Chu Tai pointed out this problem, the two Taoist children behind Liu Xue immediately spoke up to refute, saying that they and others were deeply indebted to Liu Xue and that it was under his guidance that they were able to achieve success in their cultivation.

"Is cultivation successful? I have learned a few techniques and condensed some assorted eighth-grade true qi. Can this be considered an achievement?"

Chu Tai glanced at the Taoist boy and said in a cold voice: "After your essence was gathered, your foundation was damaged. Those who originally had the hope of reaching the fifth level are now having difficulty reaching the sixth level. Those who originally had the hope of reaching the sixth level are having difficulty gathering their mana. Can you still call this guidance?"

"How can this not be called guidance?"

The girl holding the incense burner said coldly, "Before the teacher taught us the way and instructed us to practice, he had already explained the pros and cons to us. We had no objection. Why do you outsiders who have never instructed us and never thought about us want to point fingers at us and the teacher? What's wrong with us wanting to seek the Tao?"

"You're right. I haven't experienced your life, so I'm not qualified to say that your choice is wrong. But you don't have to seek the truth from him..."

Chu Tai nodded, unexpectedly indicating that he agreed with the girl's words, but he opened his mouth to refute the next moment.

"If you offer incense and candles to the Taoist Lords, the True Lords, and the Immortals, you will see the light of the world, do good deeds, and accumulate virtues. You can enter the state of inaction and receive blessings naturally. If you can fast for a long time and recite the sutras and spiritual chapters a thousand times, you can communicate with the gods, and ten thousand times, you can communicate with the truth. You can generate water and fire in your body, ascend to heaven, and enjoy the immortal career. This is the path left by the immortals for all living beings. It is one of the merits of the gods. You only need to believe and practice to achieve something. It is much better than learning evil magic from him."

After saying that, Chu Tai stared at Liu Xue.

"And, as a member of the Xuan Sect, there is nothing wrong with me not approving of your teacher's actions. After all, he is now preaching under the name of the authentic Xuan Sect. It should not be excessive for me to intervene to protect the reputation of the Xuan Sect. Don't you think so, Fellow Daoist Liu?" "Protecting the reputation of the Xuan Sect, is this the reason you thought of for taking action? It is much smarter than those who wanted to intervene before, and I can't find any words to refute. In this case, let's go to the sky to fight?"

Liu Xue waved the whisk in her hand, rose into the air, and stood in the air with a peaceful posture. Seeing this, many people present were impressed by the courage and dignity she displayed. They felt that although her actions were a little inappropriate, she was generally upright and gave them the possibility of future progress. She was a good person.

In comparison, Chu Tai, who is unable to teach them the magic but wants to stop Liu Xue from teaching them the magic, is the evil person.

Chu Tai could not hide the subtle changes in the emotions of the people around him. He looked at Liu Xue and said, "It seems that you have practiced the method of charm to your core. To this extent, it is almost like a magical power..."

As Chu Tai flew into the air, he clapped his hands. The crisp sound, like thunder, echoed in everyone's ears and woke them up one by one. However, some people were quickly attracted by Liu Xue's breath. Only a very few were able to suppress the admiration in their hearts and recall their past.

Especially the two young men who had just made some achievements in their practice with the help of Chu Tai, recalled their experiences in the temple, and showed a bit of strange expressions.

I didn't realize it at first, but now that Chu Tai has pointed it out to me, when I think about it carefully, I always feel that something is not right.

We, and others, love the immortal old man Liu Xue so much. Is it really just because we recognize him or are impressed by his demeanor?
Moreover, I previously thought that there was nothing wrong with many of the things Liu Xue did. Was it really just that I thought they would not affect my future life?
The more the boy who used the Wind-Chasing Palm recalled, the stranger it seemed.

He knew very well that his companion who used the mountain-pushing hand was very disgusted with some of Liu Xue's actions back then and even wanted to leave this place.

But later, after Liu Xue brought a few obedient Taoist children to communicate with the two of them, neither himself nor his companions seemed to reject each other anymore.

In the past, the young man thought that he was persuaded by the other party, and the other party did not attack them. Everything was as he said, and he would not force him and others, so he thought there was no problem.

Now that I think about it carefully, was my quick change really just because I was persuaded?
The young man narrowed his eyes slightly. His companion who was using the Pusher was even more extreme. Some golden light appeared on his body. He looked at Liu Xue and said angrily: "Have you been bewitching us?"

Above, Liu Xue, who saw this scene, narrowed her eyes slightly and smiled, "So that's how it is. Fellow Daoist, you are also a disciple of the Taiyi lineage. You came here today not for the reputation of Xuanmen, but because I touched the people you protected? How about this, you take this child back, I promise not to do anything to him again, and there happens to be a thousand-year-old Yin-Yang Harmony Lotus with a single stem blooming in my courtyard. The lotus seeds are quite magical, why not keep them and taste them..."

Before Liu Xue finished speaking, Chu Tai stretched out his hand and pointed, and the agarwood sword ball flew out, falling down with red leaves all over the sky, pointing directly at Liu Xue's vital points.

"Hey, fighting and killing is not good, why can't we sit down and talk it out?"

Liu Xue flicked her whisk, and wisps of pink smoke appeared. In the center, there were very thin threads of light, crisscrossing each other, densely packed, weaving into a net, and then covered with a veil all around.

Chu Tai's tentative agarwood sword pill had not yet taken effect, but the [Yin and Yang Harmony] magic hidden in the pink mist was sticking to it.

Liu Xue, who blocked Chu Tai's tentative move, did not stop, and immediately released 144 peach blossom flying knives made of thousand-year-old peach wood, mixed with the essence of five directions, and refined by the Yin-Yang magic.

As the flying knife flew out of his hand, it immediately turned into flying knife shadows all over the sky, and transformed into peach blossoms in the air, flying back and forth and scattering all around. Liu Xue in the center looked like a peach blossom fairy, and many Taoist children below had an obsessed look in their eyes.

Upon seeing this, Chu Tai stretched out his hand and picked up the Su Chen Qing Man, then threw it out casually. Snow fell from the sky, and the green man was hidden in it. While the flying snow intercepted the peach blossoms, it pointed directly at Liu Xue's eyebrows.

When she first saw the snow flying all over the sky, Liu Xue showed a look of fondness, obviously she was attracted by Su Chen's green light, but when the sharp light approached her, her expression became a little solemn, and a clear light surged on her head, and colorful clouds hung down.
