The Weird Way of Immortality: My Taoism Progress in One Day a Year

Chapter 9 Spell
"Thank you very much, Fellow Daoist Liu."

Li Yan took the porcelain bottle and thanked Liu Yingying.

Liu Yingying smiled playfully with a smile in her eyes, and said, "Friend Li, you don't have to be polite. I am the one who got the upper hand. From now on, we are friends. You can just call me Yingying."

Li Yan smiled and said, "Well, Yingying, just call me by my name."

Liu Yingying nodded slightly.

The two left the room and came to the yard.

The bleeding on the evil cultivator's body has stopped and he has woken up.

Seeing Li Yan coming, a look of anger appeared on his pale face.

"It's you again! It's you again! A few years ago, it was because of you that I suffered a backlash and lost ten years of my cultivation. Now, I'm suffering a backlash again!"

The evil cultivator wished he could skin Li Yan alive and pull out his tendons.

When Li Yan heard the evil cultivator's words, his expression changed.

He asked the evil cultivator coldly: "Do you know me?"

The evil cultivator obviously looked very familiar with him, and his words also revealed an important message.

Five years ago, he fell into the pond and became stupid. It must have been this evil cultivator's doing.

Faced with Li Yan's questions, the evil cultivator ignored them and just kept insulting Li Yan.

"Li Yan, it's not okay to ask like this. Let me do it."

Liu Yingying walked up to the evil cultivator, crossed her right hand with the sword finger across her chest, chanted a complicated and difficult to understand spell, and then pointed her fingertips at the evil cultivator.

Li Yan saw Liu Yingying's fingertips. As she chanted the spell, the wisp of life energy on her fingertips seemed to change, and finally shot out and pierced into the evil cultivator's forehead.

The evil cultivator's gaze became visibly dull.

Seeing this, Liu Yingying nodded and said, "You can ask now. My mantra can last for half an hour, and he will tell you whatever you want to ask during that time."

"Yingying, thank you so much."

Li Yan thanked Liu Yingying, then looked at the evil cultivator with a serious look and asked, "Why do you want to harm me?"

"Only if you die can I achieve my plan."

The evil cultivator looked dazed, and the words he said made Li Yan frown.

"Plan? What's your plan?"

"As long as you die, my son will grow up and then kill the Li family's patriarch. Then my son can become the new Li family's patriarch. With the resources of the Li family, he can secretly provide me with blood food to improve my Taoism, and then I can cultivate to become an immortal!"

"Your son?"

"Xueyan and I are in love with each other. She had my child long before she married the head of the Li family. Li Ze is my child."

The amount of information that the evil cultivator is talking about at this moment is enormous.

All the guards around consciously turned their eyes to the other side.

"Bitch!"

Father Li's face was livid at this moment, with veins bulging on his face. He slapped Zhao Xueyan, who was beside him, hard in the face.

Any man would not be able to bear such news.

He originally suspected that Zhao Xueyan was colluding with evil cultivators and wanted to kill Li Yan so that Li Ze could inherit the position of the head of the family.

He guessed correctly on this point.

But he didn't expect that Li Ze was not his son at all!
Zhao Xueyan, who was standing aside, had collapsed to the ground, trembling all over and her face was pale.

Li Yan's heart moved, a previous guess actually came true.

He originally thought that there might be something wrong with Er Niang, but he didn't expect to encounter such a big piece of news.

After hearing this, Liu Yingying seemed to feel that it was inappropriate to continue listening to the Li family's affairs, so she turned around and left the courtyard.

Afterwards, Li Yan continued to ask the evil cultivator whether there was anyone behind him, and finally breathed a sigh of relief after getting the answer that there was no one.

Then Li Yan continued to ask questions, and finally learned the truth of everything from the evil cultivator.

This evil cultivator was originally a scholar who accidentally got the statue of the Moon God. After receiving the teachings from the statue, he began to cultivate. However, the Moon God was not a kind god, and many of his methods of improving his cultivation involved blood.

The blood food here is not beef, mutton, fish or meat, but human beings!
Eating humans can speed up the improvement of your Taoism.

However, this was a prosperous era, and he was discovered by the government after only refining one or two blood foods, so he had to keep a low profile.

Later, he learned that Zhao Xueyan married into the Hengjiang Li family and gave birth to his child. He wanted his child to inherit the position of the head of the Li family, use the power of the Li family as a cover, take blood food, and improve his Taoism.

Five years ago, he attacked Li Yan, but was backfired by the Li family's luck and lost ten years of his cultivation.

Fortunately, Li Yan became stupid and no longer posed a threat, so no one took Li Yan seriously anymore.

But I didn't expect that Li Yan had returned to normal not long ago.

So he decided to curse Li Yan again after he left the house.

Then he was counterattacked by Li Yandaoxing and was almost killed by the backlash force.

All I can say is that this evil cultivator is really unlucky.

"..."

Li Yan was silent for a long time, digesting the information from the evil cultivator, and then he said lightly: "Kill him."

Then he turned and left the yard.

Father Li looked at Zhao Xueyan dangerously, his face changing from gloomy to happy.

The evil cultivator was quickly killed by the guards.

Not long after, the guards came out of the courtyard, Li's father also came out, and Zhao Xueyan disappeared.

A guard handed a black cloth bag that he had searched from the evil cultivator to Li Yan.

Li Yan's heart moved when he saw this, and he felt that it looked a little familiar.

"Hey, this evil cultivator also has a storage bag."

Liu Yingying looked at the black cloth bag in Li Yan's hand in surprise.

"You input your life energy into the storage bag, and you can feel the things inside. You can wrap those things with your life energy and take them out or store them in."

Li Yan nodded when he heard this and tried it immediately. It was just as Liu Yingying said.

He noticed that there was a space of about ten feet in radius inside the storage bag, which contained many scattered items.

Li Yan took out all the things and gave them to Liu Yingying for identification.

Liu Yingying sorted these things into categories. Some of them were related to blood food, so she asked the guards to dig a pit on the spot and bury them underground.

Finally, there were two porcelain bottles left, containing more than twenty low-grade life-energy pills.

A magical peach wood sword.

There are also three spell books: Cleansing, Water Walking, and Golden Needle.

Li Yan was extremely surprised.

He originally thought that he had to attend the Palace God Festival or go to the Yunshui Pavilion to obtain magic spells, but he didn't expect to get them from the evil cultivator.

Liu Yingying flipped through the three spell books and said, "This golden needle spell requires at least ten years of practice to cultivate, otherwise it will damage your foundation."

Li Yan nodded. His cultivation level was already sufficient and was improving very quickly, so he was not worried.

Liu Yingying picked up the peach wood sword and sighed slightly, saying, "A fellow Taoist must have fallen into the hands of this evil cultivator, otherwise there wouldn't be these things."

This peach wood sword has the power to ward off evil spirits and can restrain demons, ghosts and evil cultivators.

Of course, evil cultivators would not buy peach wood swords, they could only obtain them from other cultivators.

Li Yan's heart sank when he heard this.

Fortunately, the evil cultivator thought he was just a mortal, and cast a spell from a distance, trying to kill him, but was eventually backfired and died.

If they were to engage in a formal fight, he would not be a match for the evil cultivator since he has not mastered any magic.

No matter what, Li Yan survived this disaster and gained a lot, which made him feel less urgent.
