Becoming a Taoist Master by Walking on the Underworld

Chapter 358 Seeing Sister Qiao'er, Xiao Yin is injured?
"Tianxuan Restaurant? Where is it?"

Chen Yushu pressed for an answer.

"Replying to Senior."

That day, Xuan Restaurant was located in the inner city of Daocheng County.

Within the inner city, a curfew is in effect year-round, and the entry and exit of evil spirits and ghosts are strictly prohibited. Even those who have attained godhood or become cultivators who have entered the Dao and left the body are forbidden from wandering around at night.

Although it's not yet curfew, it will take at least half an hour to get from here to the inner city, so I advise you to go tomorrow.”

The other person, realizing that Chen Yushu must have some connection with Liu Qiao'er, also offered his advice.

"it is good!

"Thank you both for the reminder!"

Chen Yushu naturally understood the other party's good intentions, cupped his hands in thanks, and then turned and left.

He listened to the advice.

They did not rashly enter the inner city.

Upon arriving in a new place, he naturally wanted to learn as much as possible.

Not to mention, although Liu Qiao'er's current situation is not very good, there are still two days before the competition.

If the other party is indeed at Tianxuan Restaurant, then there is really no difference between going there tonight and going tomorrow.

With that thought in mind, Chen Yushu returned to his room.

The nights were spent in meditation.

The next morning, Chen Yushu went straight out the door.

Half an hour later, he appeared at the entrance of the Tianxuan Restaurant that the two cultivators had mentioned earlier.

Tianxuan Restaurant is considered one of the top restaurants in Daocheng County. It occupies a vast area, with many courtyard-like buildings in the back that serve as guest rooms. Some areas even have special arrangements such as spirit-gathering arrays. Given that the spiritual energy in Daocheng County is relatively abundant, staying here can greatly improve one's cultivation efficiency compared to other places.

Upon arriving at the restaurant entrance, Chen Yushu did not linger and went straight inside.

"Sir, would you like to have dinner or stay at the hotel?"

A man who appeared to be in charge noticed Chen Yushu's extraordinary appearance and quickly came forward to greet him, asking questions.

"I'm looking for someone."

Chen Yushu replied.

"Looking for someone? I don't know who you're looking for?"

The manager was taken aback and asked several questions.

"Liu Qiao'er, I'm from the same hometown as her."

Chen Yushu said with a smile.

"Are you looking for Junior Sister Liu?"

As they were talking, a rather pretty woman next to them suddenly asked a question out of curiosity.

"Greetings, Fairy Hong."

Upon seeing the newcomer, the steward quickly bowed.

"Yes, I wonder if you could convey this message for me."

Chen Yushu then turned around, cupped his hands in greeting, and said...

"I do need to go see Junior Sister Liu."

Come with me.

Fairy Hong sized up Chen Yushu, noticing that although he had a good demeanor, his clothes were ordinary, leading her to believe that he was probably a cultivator from the countryside. A flash of disdain crossed her eyes before she walked straight inside.

Seeing this, Chen Yushu cupped his hands in greeting to the steward before following him.

As an elite disciple of the Ghost Spirit Sect, Liu Qiao'er, although she did not have a special courtyard in the Tianxuan Restaurant, was still a cultivator at the Dao Entry Realm level, so she was arranged to stay in a small courtyard on the left.

The environment isn't exactly quiet, but the area is fairly spacious.

When Chen Yushu arrived, he also saw the array traces that filled the void.

In the era of cultivators, array formations were an essential skill for almost every cultivator who had achieved success.

"Junior sister, are you awake?"

After Fairy Hong arrived, she called out and activated the warning array next to her.

This warning array is meant to alert those inside. Once activated, the cultivators inside will immediately notice that someone is visiting from outside.

"Senior Sister Hong?"

What brings you here?

Soon, a clear and melodious female voice came from within the formation, and then the formation shook and was opened.

Along with it, the courtyard gate leading inside was also opened.

Then, the next moment, Chen Yushu saw Qiao'er's pretty and lovely figure.

She was taller and bigger than before, and her face showed a hint of seriousness, but even more beauty and charm.

“I ran into someone at the door who claimed to be from your hometown, so I brought it over for you.”

As Hong Xianzi spoke, she paused, because she noticed that Liu Qiao'er's eyes had changed, and she was looking at her with an excited and incredulous expression.

"Yu Shu, you... how did you get here?"

Liu Qiao'er's eyes widened, and the seriousness in her eyes instantly blossomed like a delicate flower, even the trace of sorrow hidden in her eyes melted away in an instant.

"Sister Qiao'er."

I wanted to come, so I came.

Chen Yushu also had a smile on his face, and he could not hide his satisfaction.

More than a year later, he finally met Qiao'er again.

Thinking back, if it weren't for Sister Qiao'er's help, he would never have progressed so quickly in his cultivation.

In particular, he still uses some of the spells taught by Sister Qiao'er, such as the Yin Subduing Technique, the Qi Observation Technique, and the Divine Descent Technique, which have helped him deal with countless dangers.

"You little rascal, you're still being cheeky."

Liu Qiao'er gave a soft snort and lightly tapped his shoulder, only then realizing that Chen Yushu had grown much taller than her without her noticing. He was tall and imposing, and her eyes lit up as she asked, "You've entered the Dao?"

"right.

"Sister Qiao'er, you entered the Dao not long after you left."

Chen Yushu said with a smile.

"Junior sister, I'm still here."

Seeing this, Fairy Hong quickly interrupted and said something.

"I'm sorry, senior sister, I was just a little too excited."

Please come in first...

Liu Qiao'er, who was standing to the side, then came to her senses and quickly spoke up.

"No need, I came here on my master's orders."

She heard about your duel with Xu Qingling and asked me to bring you something.

As he spoke, he tossed a storage bag over, then turned and left, saying, "However, there's something I still need to say."

Some things, if they are meant to be yours, will be yours.

Forcibly seizing it would indeed bring great disaster upon oneself.

Even if you win against Xu Qingling in this competition, don't forget that behind her stands Xu Qingyan.

That person is the number one person below the Soul Refining True Person realm in Daocheng County, and the most promising candidate to become a True Person in recent years.

Even if you win, you won't be able to keep that treasure.

Upon seeing this, Chen Yushu frowned and was about to speak when Liu Qiao'er stopped him.

"Sister Qiao'er."

I've heard about this before, but what exactly happened?

After being invited into the courtyard by Liu Qiao'er, Chen Yushu quickly asked her questions.

"This matter is actually not complicated. At that time, I was hunting in the Wild Forest. By the way, this is also the choice of most cultivators in Daocheng County. Although the Wild Forest is full of dangers, it is rich in resources. It not only has many precious medicines and spiritual materials, but also many ghosts and demons.

The materials from these ghosts and demons are valuable to cultivators and even martial artists, and can be exchanged for a large amount of cultivation resources.

Moreover, inside, there are many ancient cultivators' inherited cave dwellings or hidden spaces.

Therefore, it is perfectly normal for us to venture into the wild forest, take risks, and earn cultivation resources.

This time, I entered the desolate forest and, by chance, discovered a hidden cave of an ancient cultivator, from which I obtained some treasures.

Especially that pagoda, its grade should be quite good, it shouldn't be put into the storage bag at all.

Then, just as I came out of that cave, I happened to run into Xu Qingling…”

At this point, Liu Qiao'er also felt somewhat aggrieved.

After all, she obtained the treasures from that cave entirely through her own abilities, and she also experienced many dangers.

Once the results came out, it was pointed out that the other party had seen the treasure first.

She naturally disagreed, but the other party not only acted unreasonably, but also resorted to violence.

Fortunately, there were elders from both sides' sects nearby, which prevented the battle from breaking out, but this made things more complicated.

Liu Qiao'er was naturally in the right, but Xu Qingling also had many supporters due to her different status.

In particular, there were a few people in Liu Qiao'er's sect who also favored Xu Qingling.

For example, Wan Xia, the second elder who led the Ghost Spirit Sect at that time.

There's also Zhou Yue, Liu Qiao'er's fellow disciple.

That's why things have escalated to the point where a contest is needed to decide who gets the magic weapon.

"So, that treasure has already been taken away?"

Chen Yushu frowned and asked.

From Liu Qiao'er's description, Chen Yushu could tell how rude the other party was, and he was also very angry.

Especially just now, Hong Xin, who brought him along, although unlike Zhou Yue, who had been bullying Liu Qiao'er, their relationship wasn't particularly good either. Her words just now carried a hint of warning to Liu Qiao'er.

"The pagoda is not with me now; it should be in the hands of the Second Elder, Wan Xia."

They said the winner would be determined after the competition was over…

As she spoke, Liu Qiao'er's eyes reddened slightly, as if she was showing a hint of vulnerability because of the presence of close people around her. She said, "Originally, I didn't really care what that treasure was."

With a magic weapon on either side, once it's gone, it's gone too.

However, I only agreed because I was angry that Xu Qingling had given Xiao Yin a reward.

"What? Xiaoyin is injured?"

Chen Yushu was startled, a sharp glint flashing in his eyes.

Xiao Yin was Liu Qiao'er's ghost.

Given that he started his spiritual practice early, he and Xiao Yin had developed a deep affection for each other.

Even though the other party was just a ghost with a faith, he regarded her as his sister and valued her highly. Upon hearing this, he couldn't contain himself any longer.

How is she now?

Xiao Hong had been talking about her a lot before, saying that when they met, she wanted to have a good time with her…

As he spoke, Chen Yushu looked at Liu Qiao'er with a nervous expression.

Xiao Hong, who had been kept in Chen Yushu's clutches all along, had actually been told by Chen Yushu beforehand that she was going to see Sister Qiao'er.

Of course, she didn't care about that, but she knew that if she saw Sister Qiao'er, she would be able to see Xiao Yin.

The relationship between her and Xiaoyin was genuine and very deep.

Upon hearing this, he disregarded everything else and immediately flew out of the gourd. He stepped forward anxiously, placed his hand on Liu Qiao'er's hand, and asked nervously, "How is Xiao Yin?"

"There's nothing to worry about for now."

However, Xiao Yin is currently seriously injured and her soul is weak, so it is not advisable to release her at this time.

It can only be released for a short while at night, when there is no wind.

Liu Qiao'er first offered an explanation, then glanced at Xiao Hong, a glint of light flashing in her eyes. She looked at Chen Yushu in astonishment and asked, "This is Xiao Hong?"
Is the soul so solid?

This...this is almost becoming a ghost, isn't it?

It's her.

It was a bit of a stroke of luck.

He is still at the peak of his evil spirit powers.

Chen Yushu explained.

"I have a few soul crystals here that might be of some help with Xiao Yin's injuries. Sister Qiao'er, please give them to her when the time comes. I want her to get better as soon as possible."

Xiao Hong breathed a sigh of relief, then seemed to remember something and quickly rummaged through her storage bag, taking out a few soul crystals and handing them over.

"Xiao Hong, you're so kind, I..."

Liu Qiao'er first smiled reassuringly, then her voice suddenly stopped, and she exclaimed in surprise, "This, this is a Disaster-level Soul Crystal."
How did you get this in your hand?

As she spoke, she suddenly looked at Chen Yushu.

Xiao Hong's strength is not bad, but she is only an evil spirit after all, so she naturally cannot have so many evil-level soul crystals, let alone disaster-level soul crystals.

It could only have been obtained from Chen Yushu.

If it were a Ghost-level Soul Crystal, she wouldn't be so shocked. After all, with her strength, killing a ghost of this level wouldn't be too difficult.

But Disaster-level Soul Crystals are different.

Even the weakest Calamity-level ghost spirit is not something that an ordinary cultivator at the Nascent Soul stage can kill.

Even cultivators at the Dao Entry Night Wandering Realm would almost certainly be no match for someone of that level.

"On the way, I happened to come across one and killed it."

Xiaohong is now mainly helping me collect loot, so I just gave her the reward.

Since she's willing to use it to treat Xiaoyin's injuries, then you should accept it.

Chen Yushu gave a simple explanation and said.

"This is far too valuable..."

Upon hearing this, Liu Qiao'er quickly shook her head.

"What's so valuable about this?"
If it weren't for Sister Qiao'er guiding me into this field, I wouldn't have achieved what I have today.

Moreover, Xiaoyin and I are very close, so it's impossible for me to remain indifferent to her injury.

Chen Yushu quickly shook his head and said.

"Yes, Sister Qiao'er."

I want Xiaoyin to recover quickly so we can play together again.

Xiao Hong also said.

"Ok."

Upon hearing this, Liu Qiao'er nodded and agreed.

"By the way, Sister Qiao'er."

What is Xu Qingyan's current strength?
Are you confident this time?

Immediately afterwards, Chen Yushu spoke again, beginning to inquire about the details of this competition.

After all, the time for the duel had already been set and could not be changed.

Then he naturally needed to ascertain the strength of Sister Qiao'er and her opponent.

If Qiao'er is stronger, he would be happy to see her reclaim what is hers through her own strength. But if she has an advantage, he certainly won't remain inactive.

This time, he...

I came here specifically to support Sister Qiao'er.

He had previously thought his opponent would be the senior sister who had always bullied Qiao'er, but now, even with the addition of this so-called Xu Qingling, it didn't really matter to him.

He accepted them all at once.
