If you don't give up, I'd like to be your adoptive father.

Chapter 43 Taking the Tongshen Pill

Hu Chen's expression was stiff and his voice was dry. "Master, is there really no other way? You are a master of Taoism, can you show me a way to help me avoid the disaster or get through it smoothly?
If I am lucky enough to escape the disaster, I will do my best to serve the Taoist priest as he needs me! "

“Grandmaster, please have mercy, have compassion!” Xiaoyu shouted.

Qingsong Dao Tong said calmly: "The community order talisman in my hand is the most upright and bright way."

"Grandmaster, Yu'er cannot live without a foster father. I beg you to be merciful and use some magic to save my father from disaster. Yu'er will always remember your kindness and set up a tablet for the ancestor at home, worship it every year, and pray for the ancestor day and night."

Xiaoyu actively exerted his subjective initiative and shouted eagerly before Huchen.

Now Lian Huchen's expression was moved. He tilted his head to look at her, moved his lips, and called softly "Yu'er".

Then he kowtowed to Qingsong and begged, "Master, please have mercy! I am willing to set up a longevity tablet for you, and offer sacrifices every year and pray every day!"

Qingsong Dao Tong still had a calm expression and a calm tone as he said, "General Guan, don't look down on the land god of Xisha Region.

Theoretically, some villages outside Hengsha Pass are also within the jurisdiction of Xinmohao Land.

Zou Qing is from East Shu and has no connections in your West Shu.

The local community commander of Hengsha Pass also encroached upon much of his power to the north.

No one from the Western Shu region spoke up for him, and instead they deliberately bullied the "foreign gods".

But you are different.

You come from a famous family and hold a high position in the court of Western Shu. If you become the land god of the Xisha region, your future achievements may not be lower than your ancestor's."

Hu Chen was stunned, a thoughtful look on his face.

He was not convinced by Qingsong Taoist.

Being alive is definitely better than being dead. After all, he still has a "great future"!

But Qingsong Taoist's words brought about a huge change in some of his ideas.

Before, he had always treated the Xinmohao Land Talisman as garbage.

When Qingsong Daotong suggested that he take the talisman and give up the Nine-Turn Bone-Changing Pill, he was filled with rage and felt extremely humiliated.

Now, after being reminded by the Taoist Qingsong, he suddenly realized that for the local tyrant of Western Shu, the "Xinmo Land Talisman" could really be of great use.

Even at this time, he still did not want to be the Xinmohao land god, but he was not the only one in the Guan family, and not every member of the Guan family had his "great future".

For example, his eldest brother Guan Wenlong had average talent for cultivation and did not like practicing martial arts. He did not even practice the family's top martial arts "Tiger Soul Seven Kills", and only learned a few sets of pretentious sword techniques.

Now that the land of Xinmohao is vacant, their Guan family may be able to make some plans.

Uh, Hu Chen was not considering exchanging the Nine-Turn Bone-Changing Pill for the Community Order Talisman, but he wanted both. No, he wanted all three: the Bone-Changing Pill, the Community Order Talisman, and his life.

"Master, please enlighten me. Where is my fate? What exactly is it?"

Qingsong Taoist's expression turned cold.

——You ungrateful bastard!
"I only have a rough understanding of the art of observing qi, and I can't tell what your fate is."

Xiao Yu opened his mouth, wanting to speak for Hu Chen: Grandmaster, we don't want that elixir or the talisman anymore. We are just honoring you. Please show me a way forward!
——Your life is almost gone, why do you still care about elixirs and talismans!
Xiaoyu sincerely thought so because the talismans and pills were not hers, and she didn't feel sad at all to give them away.

Qingsong Daotong picked up the teacup but didn't bring it to his mouth, "General Guan, you have to wait a few more days for the Nine Revolutions Bone Changing Pill.

You know clearly that it is not Xiaodao who is making the elixir for you.

If Master Ge doesn't send the elixir to me, I can't possibly conjure one out of thin air for you."

Hu Chen hesitated for a moment and asked, "When will Master Ge Dan refine the Yi Gu Dan?"

"Maybe tomorrow, or the day after tomorrow, don't worry." Qingsong Dao Tong raised a sneer at the corner of his mouth, "There's no point in worrying, you have no chance of getting it."

Hu Chen's face darkened.

Xiao Yu got anxious and interrupted again, "Grandmaster, you mean that before the Yi Gu Dan was delivered, my foster father wanted to -"

"Even if the forehead is black, it means something bad is going to happen, isn't it too fast?"

Taoist Qingsong said jokingly, "Hurry up! Otherwise, you will die as soon as you swallow the magic pill and before you can absorb the essence of the spirit inside, your life will run out and the pill will disappear."

Hu Chen could hardly hold back any longer.

"Master, if Guan were to meet with misfortune, please send the Nine-Transformation Bone-Changing Pill back to the Yingxiang Guan family." He did not explode, but his tone was very stiff.

Qingsong Dao Tong said calmly: "My mission in the west is almost complete. I will not go to Luodu again, and I will not pass by Yingxiang Mansion.

However, although your forehead is black and your luck is about to end, the people around you are fine.

Xiao Daohui will travel with Marquis Lieyang for a while.

When Master Ge's elixir arrives, I will pass it on to your family."

"Are you talking about Yu'er?" Hu Chen frowned slightly.

Qingsong Dao Tong shook his head. "Not specifically referring to her. You can choose the person you trust the most, such as your old servant or one of your colleagues in the Iron Cavalry Battalion."

Hu Chen immediately said, "Leave it to Yu'er!"

If Qingsong Taoist didn't say anything about "the most trusted person", he would definitely entrust the magic pill to his old servant Guan Zhong.

Now, when he was told in front of "Little Concubine Li" that she was the "most trusted one", he had no choice at all.

Who the elixir is given to is secondary; the key is "trust".

"Godfather, it's not that bad yet!"

Xiao Yu has not yet understood the value of the Nine-Transformation Bone-Changing Pill, and is now more concerned about Hu Chen's disaster.

She hurriedly said: “Compared with my adoptive father’s life and death, even the elixir is worthless.

The key now is where the disaster is and how to avoid it, don't just worry about the magic pill!"

Hu Chen felt relieved, this is the words of true love for him! Qingsong Dao Tong said coldly: "The Nine-transformation Bone-changing Pill is my business, I have to make things clear.

General Guan's misfortune is the Guan family's business. I can do nothing about it, so I don't care. "

"Clang!" He then gently placed the teacup on the table, making a loud noise: Old Western Barbarian, Little Sand Barbarian, do you know how to be polite? I have been serving tea for a while, are you blind? Get out of here!

Xiaoyu is a bit rude, but she knows how to serve tea to people.

As a descendant of a Huchen family, he would definitely understand.

"Master, I brought Yu'er here this time for another matter."

Hu Chen wanted to get up and say goodbye, but when he saw Xiaoyu, he remembered his other purpose.

"I recently discovered that Yu'er's martial arts training speed is exceptionally fast. Perhaps he has some innate magical power or natural Taoist body that has not yet been discovered."

Qingsong Daotong frowned, "You want a Tongshen Pill?"

Last time in the dunes, he had seen Sha Manyu's luck and physical appearance, and knew that he was not some genius in cultivation.

As for martial arts.
What crap is martial arts? Who among the serious people would care about the talent for martial arts?
If one only has a fast speed in practicing martial arts and a high level of comprehension, it cannot be considered a talent at all, or it can be considered a "talent for the way of immortality".

Because martial arts is not the right way at all.

Even if martial arts are practiced to the limit, they are just the most inferior of the unorthodox methods.

There are three thousand great ways, countless methods, but only one right way.

"I originally just wanted the Taoist priest to check Yu'er again. If there is a Tongshen Pill, that would be even better. I am willing to buy it at the original price!" Hu Chen said.

"I checked again and it was still——Hey!"

Qingsong activated the Qi-gazing technique, glanced casually at Xiaoyu, and his expression changed slightly.

"Last time in the dunes, Miss Guan's head was just a scattered grayish-white aura, but now it has become a colorful canopy."

Upon hearing this, Hu Chen was secretly delighted: My Yu'er has the qualities to be a noble concubine. Now that the Shadow God Map is complete and she can see a "bright future" beckoning ahead, of course she must act like a noble lady.

Hu Chen was proud, but Xiao Yu was confused. Could a person's fate be known so easily?
Or is it that Qingsong Taoist Boy is too advanced?

"You have been practicing the Guan family's "Tiger Soul Seven Kills" recently, and have made some progress in your cultivation?" Qingsong stared at Xiaoyu for a while and asked.

Xiao Yu avoided his gaze that seemed to see through his skin and soul, lowered his head, and said honestly: "The old master is indeed very advanced and has a keen eye!
Recently, with the dedicated training of my adoptive father, Xiaoyu has finally made the entrance."

Qingsong Dao Tong nodded slightly, "That's not surprising. With strength, one will naturally be full of energy and vitality."

Xiao Yu was surprised and asked, "Practicing martial arts can change your destiny?"

"Practicing martial arts increases your strength, why can't it change your luck?" Qingsong said.

Xiao Yu said: "Xiao Yu believes that fate has already been determined, and practicing martial arts is just a story arranged by fate."

Qingsong glanced at her with a hint of surprise, “You are wrong in saying this, but you have some wisdom.

"Qiyun" is a word, but it needs to be split into two words, "qi" and "yun" for analysis.

The existing power reveals an 'aura' that is easily visible to the sorcerer.

Strength is not limited to military force; power and financial resources are also strength.

Simply put, 'Chi' is your current state.

If you are rich and powerful, your energy will be stronger than others.

If one looks ordinary but has unawakened innate magical powers, the color and thickness of the qi will also appear abnormal.

"Luck" is destiny, it is your future state.

Your future destiny is also affecting you at this moment, and can reveal hidden traces in your "qi".

But few sorcerers can truly see the 'luck' in the 'qi', and the 'life' is even more difficult."

Xiaoyu seemed to understand something.

Before, Qingsong Daotong judged that she had no talent because the energy she displayed was weak and scattered.

Then, is it because his talents can display powerful and colorful aura that he can easily search for so many "unparalleled talents"?
"Is it 100% accurate to judge talent by observing qi?" she asked.

Qingsong flipped his right hand and took out a small blue and white porcelain bottle from his sleeve.

It was the small porcelain bottle that I was holding in my hand when I was at the "Juncaiyuan" before.

“Demon beasts can awaken their magical powers through blood inheritance, but the vast majority of humans’ innate magical powers are gifts from heaven.

Those who are gifted by God will be blessed by God.

Those who are blessed by God will naturally be difficult to be seen through by those with ulterior motives.

Even with my low level of skills and the Emperor's Order of 'Inspecting on Behalf of Heaven', I can only select two or three people out of ten."

As Qingsong Dao Tong spoke, he opened the cork of the bottle and a small red pill the size of a grain of rice rolled out from the bottle mouth.

The little red pill is not big, but it emits a rich sweet aroma, which makes people's mouth water and want to taste it.

"This is the Spiritual Pill, which can stimulate the growth of spiritual energy. If you take it, you will definitely be able to reach spiritual enlightenment. Of course, the prerequisite is that you really have innate spiritual power hidden in your body."

Seeing the small red pill handed to him by Qingsong Taoist, Xiaoyu only glanced at Huchen's expression, then took it and put it in his mouth.

Well, Hu Chen’s face was full of joy. He probably didn’t expect that it would be so easy to get the Tongshen Pill.

When he met Xiaoyu's gaze, he kept signaling her to take the pill quickly.

The Tongshen Pill melted in the mouth and turned into two streams of air. One was hot, flowing down the throat into the blood vessels, and then converging from the blood vessels to the heart; the other was icy, surging upwards, like a spring of ice and snow carved out in the sea of ​​consciousness.

——Hey, not only the body, but even the Purple Palace has reacted. Could it be that the Purple Palace is a magical power?
Xiaoyu's blood boiled and he felt suspicious.
