Becoming a Taoist Master by Walking on the Underworld

Chapter 274 Dragon Egg? Dragon Pet? Schemes from All Sides!!
"Only if you, fellow Daoist, take action can we have a chance of success in this matter."

Seeing this, Chen He became anxious and quickly spoke up.

“I remember, I’m not the only one in Qinghe County who has entered the Daoist path, am I?”

Moreover, the Zhenyin Division is full of powerful individuals; why would I need to take action?

Chen Yushu raised an eyebrow and said in a cold voice.

"Fellow Daoist Qian Wang, I have already agreed."

Chen He quickly spoke up and continued, "I actually discovered this matter a long time ago, but I was too limited by my strength to take action."

Even if we add Fellow Daoist Qian Wang, it won't work.

It wasn't until I returned a few days ago that I heard about my fellow Daoist's deeds.

It wasn't until I found another fellow Daoist in Qinghe County that I made a special trip here.

As for the matters of cultivation that you mentioned, fellow Daoist… I've waited all these years, so I'm not in a hurry to mind. I'll wait a little longer.”

As Chen He spoke, he said with a sincere expression, "Fellow Daoist Tongling, this matter is not only about you and me, but also about the entire people of Qinghe County."

"Oh?"

Chen Yushu frowned and asked, "What makes you say that?"

Chen He casually set up a soundproof array, then looked at Chen Yushu and said, "I wonder if you know that there is a dragon in our Qinghe County!"

"I have heard about that."

Chen Yushu nodded, and in the blink of an eye, he realized that the other party's plan must be related to the young dragon.

Are they directly targeting that young dragon?
Chen Yushu shook his head inwardly; it probably wasn't.

He knew very well that dragons, even young dragons, possessed at least the strength of the Disaster level.

This is not something a group of cultivators who have entered the Dao and left the body, and who are even unable to travel at night, can handle.

He believed that the other party would not be so unwise as to provoke such a being.

Because if things go wrong, it could really cause a major disaster, and it would definitely affect the entire Qinghe County, and even the surrounding counties and towns.

"This matter is not about dealing with that young dragon."

With that young dragon's calamity-level strength, I wouldn't dare to even consider attacking it.

Even its existence was known to those above long ago; someone had warned me long ago not to provoke that young dragon.

Otherwise, if it causes flooding and endangers the entire Qinghe County, then even I will be held responsible and will be in deep trouble.

Chen He first offered an explanation, then quickly added, "However, this matter is indeed related to that young dragon."

We discovered that in the Dragonfall Abyss, besides the young azure dragon, there was also a dragon egg.

"Dragon egg?"

Chen Yushu was taken aback.

His expression immediately turned serious.

Dragon eggs.

It represents not only its intrinsic value.

There is another possibility.

Spirit pet!

Dragon Pet!

Dragon pets are extremely rare and are something that almost any cultivator dreams of.

Because this represents not only strength, but also status.

In the cultivation world, there are many cultivators who possess spirit pets. Chen Yushu even thought that with his strength and abilities, subduing one or two spirit pets with considerable strength would be a very simple matter.

But dragon pets are different.

We must start with the dragon egg, before it is even born, and try to subdue it through a contract.

Otherwise, once a dragon is born, it will truly be a calamity-level existence, even if it has just been born.

It's not just because dragons are special, being born divine beasts, but also because most of them possess inherited memories and various magical abilities, which they are born with.

Ordinary cultivators are no match for them.

Of course, if you choose to raise a dragon pet, you may very well encounter the hatred of the dragon clan, or even be visited and abused by its parents.

Therefore, this is also something that involves huge risks.

Only the most powerful would dare to raise a spirit pet.

Therefore, the first choice for many cultivators after obtaining a dragon egg is often to swallow it and refine the surging and intense primordial energy and essence contained within.

It should be known that the vital energy and essence contained in a dragon egg are enough to create a young dragon of the calamity level. The quantity and quality of energy contained within it are much more intense and abundant than the life flower in the life-death flower.

The key is that the energy within it, like a blooming flower, can be completely absorbed by cultivators without worrying about it being too abundant to absorb.

It can genuinely improve one's cultivation level.

"So, your target is that dragon egg?"

Chen Yushu was taken aback and asked.

"Our goal is not dragon eggs."

Instead, it was Xu Qing, the local deity of Qinghe Town, who was deified!

Chen He first shook his head, then spoke.

"Xu Qing?"

Chen Yushu was taken aback; it was indeed somewhat unexpected.

"Actually, we discovered a long time ago that Xu Qing had been eyeing that dragon egg all along."

Therefore, he invited Liu Kong, the river god of Qinghe County, to meet with him on several occasions, and inquired about the Dragon Fall Abyss and the Azure Dragon.

Furthermore, it even joined forces with some ghosts and spirits, as well as certain Yin cultivators, to set up some special formations around the Fallen Dragon Abyss.

The main function of that formation is to attract yin energy and violent emotions. If one is in that environment for a long time, then whether it is a human, a ghost, or a monster, it will be affected and become violent and irritable.

Normally, the Azure Dragon in the Fallen Dragon Abyss would only appear once every three to five years. However, according to our observations, after the formation was set up, it would appear every once in a while.

There have even been several incidents of people being injured.

If this continues for a long time, the Azure Dragon will inevitably become tyrannical and turn into a great scourge…

Chen He explained.

Chen Yushu remained silent.

He couldn't help but recall that the reason why the chosen one of the gods was seriously injured and targeted by the gods of Jianghuan Town was because he encountered a dragon and was severely injured by the dragon's tail.

Otherwise, he would not have later met the chosen one of the gods, and thus learned about the Huangshan Ancestor and the Huangshan Heritage Cliff.

Every drink and every bite has its predetermined course.

If you were to list them all, he would have to thank the local earth god, Xu Qing.

Of course, his silence was not only due to recalling the previous events, but also because Chen He's words did not mean that he had given up his plan for the dragon egg.

Ultimately, he is not much different from the local earth god Xu Qing.

"I admit, I was indeed very tempted by that dragon egg."

However, Xu Qing's actions have plunged the entire Qinghe County into an extremely dangerous situation.

Once the Azure Dragon wreaks havoc, the first to be affected will be Jianghuan Town, which is the closest town, followed by our Qinghe County.

When cholera breaks out, although the imperial court's underworld will send people to suppress the Azure Dragon afterward, we will be the first to be affected and will absolutely not be able to escape unscathed.

so……"

Chen He nodded first, then quickly and eagerly said...

"So, what is your ultimate goal?"
Two dogs fight, play off?
still……"

Chen Yushu interrupted him and asked.

However, he couldn't help but consider what the other party had said. Because the town closest to the Fallen Dragon Abyss was Jianghuan Town.

Jianghuan Town is his hometown, where his parents, relatives, master, and many familiar people from the Liu family's pharmacy live.

If possible, he would naturally not allow the Azure Dragon to run rampant and affect his hometown.

"Slay the evil god Xu Qing, dismantle that magic array, prevent it from angering the Azure Dragon, and save the many people inside and outside Qinghe County from possible disasters."

Chen He said firmly.

"Ok?"

A sense of unreality arose in Chen Yushu's heart.

Is the other person's level of thinking really that high?
It made him feel inexplicably uncomfortable.

"Of course, that's only one of the reasons."

Besides that, the most important reason is that my Chen family patriarch wants to ascend to the throne!

Only then did Chen He reveal his true purpose.

"I know that you, fellow Daoist, are also surnamed Chen, just like me. As members of the same clan, we might even be related several generations back."

As for my Chen family ancestor, he is currently also a deity or god.

But he was only a river guard.

His status is completely disproportionate to his strength.

I happened to learn about Xu Qing's plan, and I had been keeping an eye on the Dragon Fall Abyss. I could clearly feel that the Azure Dragon's emotions were becoming more and more violent.

The frequency of traffic on the road is also increasing.

Moreover, just half a month ago, it left the Dragon Abyss for the first time. Although it quickly returned, I estimate that it won't be long before it can't help but swim away again, and more frequently and over farther distances.

At that point, I reckon Xu Qing will inevitably be unable to resist making a move…

A hint of anxiety flashed across Chen He's face as he spoke.

"maybe.

But what does this have to do with me?

Chen Yushu thought for a moment, then shook his head and said.

"Three great merits, plus one magic spell."

One technique: the art of flying on a sword.

Chen He quickly spoke up.

This matter was, after all, a private one, and could not be attributed to the Zhenyin Division. Therefore, this great achievement was actually subsidized by himself.

As for the method of flying on a sword, it was a technique passed down through his Chen family.

In its early years, the Chen family was a prominent clan that roamed the underworld. Hundreds of years ago, there were even members who traveled to the underworld during the day.

Unfortunately, it perished in a battle a century ago.

This led to their gradual decline, and at their lowest point, not a single cultivator from the Chen family could enter the Daoist path.

His condition only gradually improved after he cultivated to the level of the Dao Realm.

So he began to scheme desperately, not only arranging for his own Chen family members, but also searching for suitable spirits from among his ancestors to perform ancestral sacrifices and bestow divine titles...

This is something that many practitioners of Yin-Yang cultivation must do for the sake of the development of their entire family.

Because in this way, even if no one in their descendants becomes a cultivator and breaks through to the Dao realm, relying on the blessings of their ancestors, they will not fall into decline and stagnate as before, only to recover after several generations.

Of course, this method is not suitable for Chen Yushu.

Because of the tragedy that happened ten years ago, the spirits of his ancestors were swallowed up.

Even in the entire Beijiao Village, no matter how many generations back, there is no one there.

Not to mention, he was essentially a time traveler. Luckily, he had no ancestors, otherwise he probably would have been discovered long ago, and his soul would have been swapped, which would have been terrible.

Anything can happen on the Ghostly Stone Steps.

"make a deal!"

Chen Yushu then spoke up and agreed.

Of course, the so-called great achievements and the method of flying on a sword are not the fundamental reasons.

The main reason is that the Fallen Dragon Abyss is too close to Jianghuan Town.

There, he knew too many people: his parents, his master, and the village elders... If the Azure Dragon went berserk, they would be the first to suffer.

Naturally, such a thing cannot be tolerated.

Furthermore, during his meditation and nighttime stroll last night, he happened to run into Xu Qing and vaguely sensed that the other party seemed to be acting strangely, as if he was secretly plotting against him.

Although there is no evidence to support this claim.

However, cultivators who walk the path of the underworld, especially those like him who have cultivated to the point of entering the Dao realm, are born with strong spiritual power and extremely keen spiritual senses.

With just a sudden whim, one can perceive many things.

Immediately afterwards, upon entering the General's Temple, he heard Zhu Jiuzhi's account and learned that someone had been sent to the temple to subdue Zhu Jiuzhi and make him their subordinate deity.

This is, in a sense, a provocation.

Since the other party is a local deity, they must know that Zhu Jiuzhi is their contracted ghost, yet they still sent their subordinates over, so there is a reason for that.

Then, in addition, Chen He put forward conditions, which were indeed quite generous.

He then readily agreed.

"it is good!

Thank you very much, fellow psychic!
I will inform my friends as soon as I have any news.

Upon hearing this, Chen He finally smiled and quickly spoke up.

"As it should be."

Chen Yushu nodded and said.

"Then I won't bother you any longer."

Next time I have time, I'll invite Fellow Daoist Qian Wang to come over again so we can discuss the Dao together, and hopefully both of us can improve and reach a higher level in our cultivation.

Chen He then spoke.

"Then I'll be waiting anytime!"

Chen Yushu also laughed.

There was not much obstruction.

Soon, the three Zhenyin Division members walked out.

As for Chen Yushu, he stood still and pondered silently, "This Chen He, although he speaks eloquently..."

But ultimately, it all comes down to profit.

The purpose is also very simple.

Firstly, it was to give their ancestors a boost and help them ascend to the position of Earth God.

Secondly, his goal was still the dragon eggs.

After a quick review, Chen Yushu reached a conclusion.

On the surface, his goal was to elevate his ancestors to power.

If it were just this, the other party wouldn't need to beat around the bush and tell him all this.

Because all he needed to do was invite a few powerful cultivators, plan carefully, and then decisively strike when the local deity Xu Qing was caught off guard.

Naturally, he will be able to resolve the issue, achieve his goal, obtain the other party's deification token, and successfully give his ancestor a push to help him ascend to the position of Earth God.

But the other party has been scheming for so long and has never stopped Xu Qing's plan, allowing Xu Qing to set up a magic array around the Fallen Dragon Abyss. Isn't it also to plan for the remaining dragon egg when the Azure Dragon leaves the Fallen Dragon Abyss?
As for what happened afterward, the dragon returned and found the dragon egg was gone. It became furious and caused disaster.
Naturally, the local earth god becomes the perfect scapegoat.

After all, the formation was set up by Xu Qing, and all signs and evidence pointed to Xu Qing.

As for Chen He, he is completely innocent. In fact, eliminating Xu Qing in the end would be a great achievement. After the Zhenyin Division sends powerful experts to suppress the Azure Dragon, he might even be rewarded and honored!
