Becoming a Taoist Master by Walking on the Underworld

Chapter 246 The Next Stage of Reading: 'Great Achievement' is Imminent

"really.

Walking the path of the underworld is a difficult and arduous path of cultivation.

This skill is unlike martial arts, where you can improve by accumulating enough experience.

Even with immense accumulated knowledge, further breakthroughs are incredibly dangerous and difficult.

Upon hearing this, Lü Yizhi spoke with feeling.

Chen Yushu found it difficult to respond to those words.

Because he had already reached the Dao Realm, he felt only ease and no difficulty at all regarding the hurdle between the three incense sticks burning and the Dao Realm.

Of course, he also knew that the reason he felt relaxed was because his meditative state had long since reached the level of constant stillness.

Compared to Lü Yizhi, he was two levels higher.

Naturally, they are quite different.

This was not an intentional cover-up.

I just didn't want to hurt the other party too much.

After all, he and the other party had a certain relationship, and he had even learned the Seven Star Step technique from the other party.

Some small talk.

The focus of the discussion has always been on Chen Yushu.

After all, he performed exceptionally well in this talent assessment.

Even Liu Qingyan greatly admired him and no longer dared to treat him as an ordinary medical apprentice. Her words clearly showed her high regard for him.

Chen Yushu, on the other hand, appeared quite calm.

“Speaking of which.

Recently, a major event also occurred in Qinghe County.

As they were talking, Lü Yizhi suddenly spoke up.

"What's the big deal?"

Su Ming asked curiously.

He had just returned and knew nothing about what had happened in Qinghe County.

"After this genius assessment, about a dozen geniuses mysteriously disappeared one after another."

This includes Du Wenxin from our Liu Family Pharmacy, who is also participating in the genius assessment this time.

However, this group of people were discovered just a few days ago; they were all dead.

When Lü Yizhi spoke, he saw surprise on the faces of the others. Even Liu Qingyan looked curious. Although she vaguely knew something, she didn't really know the specifics.

Seeing this, Lü Yizhi couldn't help but show a smug look on his face and said, "I also met a fellow traveler early this morning and that's how I found out the reason."

It turns out that just a few days ago, a group of members of an evil cult were lurking in our Qinghe New Village.

Those genius martial artists were bewitched by the Evil God Cult and became members of the cult.

It's important to understand that the reason the evil god cult is called an evil god cult is precisely because it possesses a method of bestowing blessings, which can grant people immense power.

So even those martial artists who were originally unwilling joined in.

Unexpectedly, they encountered a respected elder from our Qinghe County.

That expert, single-handedly, stormed into the headquarters of the Evil God Cult and slaughtered all the members of the cult, along with the martial artists who had joined.

"so smart?"

Upon hearing this, Liu Hexuan was taken aback and showed a look of surprise.

Su Ming's face also showed surprise.

These seasoned veterans had naturally heard of the Evil God Cult, knowing it to be a powerful cult with not only top-tier martial artists but also top-notch Yin-Yang experts who had once wreaked havoc.

Although those remaining in Qinghe County were unlikely to be very strong, it was still quite remarkable that one person could completely destroy them.

"If that were all, it would be fine."

Crucially, he then joined forces with the people from the Zhenyin Division and many other Yin-traveling cultivators from Qinghe County to go to the General's Temple.

He paused for a moment at this point.

"General's Temple?"

I've heard about it recently.

It seems the title of the deified general in the General Temple has changed hands.

The new general in the Investiture of the Gods seems to be a ghost god named Zhu Jiuzhi.

Could it be that he also eliminated his former position as a general in the Investiture of the Gods?

Liu Qingyan exclaimed in surprise.

"It's not just that Investiture of the Gods general."

This time, it is said to be the centennial birthday of the deified general, and he has invited many ghosts to gather at the general's temple.

The key point is that this "Investiture of the Gods General" had long since defected to the Evil God Cult, and his General Temple was a gathering place for many members of the Evil God Cult.

This includes two experts at the Dao Realm and two evil spirits at the Chong level.

Including the God-Investiture General himself and a Demon-level God-Investiture who was coerced into joining, along with more than ten evil spirit God-Investitures... On that occasion, the Evil God Cult had a full two Dao-Entering Realm experts and four or five Demon-level God-Investitures.

On the other side, including that senior, there were only three experts at the Dao Entry Realm.

But it was under such unfavorable circumstances.

However, that senior turned the tide, fighting alone against a Dao-entering expert and three evil spirits, subduing and eliminating them one by one.

This strength is truly terrifying.

Moreover, and most importantly, it is said that this senior who has entered the Dao realm is from our Qinghe County.

To be honest, I'm ashamed to admit that as a cultivator from Qinghe County, I was completely unaware that such a powerful senior was hidden in our area. It's truly a grave oversight..."

Lu Yizhi had clearly been holding back these words since this morning.

Even if I didn't see it with my own eyes, I only learned about the general situation from other people's words.

But the excitement in his heart, and his reverence for that senior, had reached its peak.

So much so that he became slightly agitated when he spoke.

"I really didn't expect that there would be such a person hiding in Qinghe County."

Upon hearing this, Su Ming couldn't help but sigh.

Although he was a martial artist, he was well aware of the power of cultivators who had entered the Dao realm.

It is perfectly clear that such beings are absolutely comparable to, or even surpass, the Yuan Gang Realm level among martial artists. At least in terms of status, they are far superior to Yuan Gang Realm martial artists.

The strength of a vengeful spirit at the Chong level is, in some respects, even greater than that of a Yuan Gang realm martial artist.

After all, while a martial artist's blood and qi can harm ghosts, in actual combat, it is naturally not as effective as a Dao Realm expert who can launch targeted attacks.

That cultivator, however, was able to fight four opponents single-handedly, which shows just how terrifying his strength was.

This earned their admiration.

"Yizhi, aren't you stuck at the Three Incense Sticks of Dao cultivation level? Struggling to break through?"

"Do you know this senior's exact address? Perhaps we could pay them a visit. If we could receive their guidance, it might give you a chance to advance further and break through to the next realm?"

Upon hearing this, Liu Qingyan seemed to remember something and quickly looked at Lü Yizhi before speaking.

"I do have that idea."

However, this senior is so elusive that I don't know exactly where in Qinghe County he lives.

All that is known is that this senior has a certain relationship with Yan Xu, the head of the Yan family, and Mo Xuan, the head of the Mo family.

Perhaps only they truly know each other's address...

As he spoke, he also had the idea of ​​visiting the Yan and Mo families to inquire about this senior.

Chen Yushu, who was standing to the side, remained silent throughout.

He didn't expect that Lü Yizhi would change the subject and talk about him again.

In the battle a few days ago, three cultivators at the Dao Entry Realm faced each other together, but according to others, he played the biggest role.

Although, if you look closely, his role is quite significant.

In a real battle, however, a single move can have far-reaching consequences, and everyone involved has a role to play.

It's just that his strength was amplified by the altar technique, making him appear even stronger.

……

"correct.

Now that Master is back, he shouldn't need to go out again, right?

Then, as if remembering something, Chen Yushu asked.

"I have to go out again."

"But this time, it's for a personal matter. A nephew from my own clan is getting married, and I have to go and attend." Su Ming said with a smile.

He had no children, but he did have nephews and nieces in his family.

At his age, it would be difficult for him to have any more children, so he naturally attached great importance to his nephew's wedding.

"That's a joyous occasion, we definitely have to go."

Chen Yushu also spoke up repeatedly.

After catching up with his master for a while, he didn't stay any longer.

The master already had a place to stay in Qinghe County, so he didn't need to worry about it.

Therefore, they soon arrived at the pharmacy warehouse with Liu Hexuan.

Here are some medicinal herbs that he asked the Liu family to help collect.

"no problem.

How much silver is it in total?

After a quick inspection, Chen Yushu confirmed that the quality of the batch of medicinal herbs basically met the requirements before asking questions.

This batch of medicinal herbs is actually quite large, and with many precious herbs and spiritual materials included, its value is at least ten thousand taels of silver.

Previously, he would have felt quite pressured.

After all, money can be depleted if you just sit around doing nothing. Although he has a lot of money, it's not enough to spend a large sum of money at once.

Fortunately, he had just managed to swindle some money from that Nine-Stem Taoist.

In addition, Zhu Jiuzhi worked at the General's Temple, and unexpectedly, the temple was very popular, so he accumulated quite a lot of silver.

All things considered, he ended up handing over more than ten thousand taels of silver.

"Thirteen thousand and seventy-eight taels of silver."

Since you are now considered a manager in our Liu family, you can get a 20% discount.

That adds up to 10,462 taels of silver.

I'll round it down to zero for you.

That's ten thousand taels of silver.

As Liu Hexuan spoke, he was also inwardly astonished.

The amount of medicinal herbs that Chen Yushu purchased was far too much.

"Thank you very much, Mr. Liu."

Upon hearing this, Chen Yushu couldn't help but show a hint of satisfaction on his face. Without hesitation, he took out the silver from his storage bag and handed it over.

In response, Liu Hexuan was not only surprised but also couldn't help but sigh.

This Yin-Yang cultivation method is indeed wondrous. Putting aside everything else, the storage bag alone is something countless martial artists dream of.

……

"Now, the medicinal herbs have finally arrived."

In addition, I already have an alchemy furnace on me.

Everything is ready except for the final push.

"It's time to start preparing for alchemy..."

After bringing the many medicinal herbs home, Chen Yushu couldn't help but sigh.

At this point, he indeed possessed all the necessary conditions for alchemy.

Although the alchemy furnace was only a low-grade magic artifact, it was still countless times better than the ordinary equipment he had originally planned for.

His efficiency in refining elixirs also saw a certain increase.

He had all the corresponding elixir recipes on hand; he only needed to select the appropriate recipe to refine them directly.

The only thing lacking is experience.

"However, there's no rush."

As the saying goes, sharpening the knife does not delay the chopping of wood.

For me, and indeed for almost all cultivators, the higher the level of meditative absorption, the greater the benefits for the cultivator.

Moreover, its effect increases as time goes on.

The difference between a large deposit and a small deposit may not be that significant.

However, the difference between constant and great stability is already quite obvious.

They are fundamentally different.

As for the difference between constant and permanent…

Chen Yushu pondered.

Although he had never actually experienced it, he was absolutely certain of it.

It is far greater than the difference between constant and great constant.

And after these few days of hard work, his understanding of reading has improved considerably.

He was not far from breaking through to the next realm, so he planned to make the most of his strength and improve it as soon as possible to successfully break through.

Thinking of this, Chen Yushu couldn't help but glance at the attribute panel again.

Reading: A True Sense of Experience (1477/1600)

"Only 123 points short."

"My reading level will then be able to break through to a new level."

Upon seeing this, Chen Yushu was immediately filled with excitement.

He had been looking forward to this for a long time.

Especially back then, when he felt that simply reading books wouldn't significantly improve his reading level, he even thought it would be difficult for him to elevate his reading level any further.

Until he saw a book on array formations.

That's how we've made progress.

"but.

Up to now.

The two volumes of array formation inheritance I obtained from the Yan and Mo families are now almost useless.

Even if you spend a lot of time on it, you can only gain 20 or 30 points of reading experience at most.

A new manual on array formation techniques is required.

As Chen Yushu looked at the attribute panel, the reading experience he had gained during this period of studying books on array formations flashed through his mind.

One o'clock, two o'clock, and at most three o'clock.

Compared to the previous seven or eight points, it was more than ten points.

The gap is too big.

He immediately realized that he had thoroughly studied and pondered those two books on array formations, and that they were no longer worth studying.

There must be new books on array formations.

"A new lineage of array formations."

Now, all we can do is hope for the great task that the Xuanwu Daoist promised.

Chen Yushu couldn't help but sigh.

The reason he agreed in the first place was ultimately to obtain a lineage of array techniques from the Zhenyin Division.

A great achievement is equivalent to the inheritance of a spell or a high-grade magic artifact.

Correspondingly, he should also be able to obtain a formation-based inheritance that is no weaker than that of the Yan family or the Mo family.

in this way.

This will also allow him to successfully elevate his reading skills to the highest level, break through the Realm of True Sensation, and enter the next realm.

"What will be the next level of reading?"

Chen Yushu muttered to himself.

My anticipation grew even stronger.

However, even he himself did not expect that the 'great achievement' would come so quickly.

That night.

Just as he finished his daily cultivation and was about to enter the Netherworld to cultivate, he suddenly felt the vibration of the sensor plate.

Then, the voice of Xuanwu Daoist immediately came to his mind.

"Code name Xuanwu Daoist, calling for fellow Daoist Spirit Communicator and fellow Daoist Wine Gourd, please respond if you hear me!"
