If you were asked to identify an item, would you choose to extract magical powers?

Chapter 119: The Art of Returning Parents, Shen Bai's Crisis

The bottle is only the size of a palm, but it is pure white.

If you look closely, you can see a faint jade light flashing on it.

Xuan Yangzi opened the lid of the jade bottle and muttered to himself, "I don't know what the abbot was thinking. He actually gave these mortals the Three Spirit Powder."

Sanling Powder is a medicinal ingredient commonly used in Qingyun Temple. For those who practice cultivation, it can increase the speed of Qi cultivation.

Although the effect is slight, it is better than nothing.

This kind of medicinal material is something that ordinary people have never seen before, but after taking it, ordinary people can achieve the effect of strengthening their bodies.

Xuan Yangzi just couldn't understand why this kind of medicinal material should be used on ordinary people.

But the temple master had already given the order, so Xuan Yangzi had no choice but to do as he was told.

Xuan Yangzi put a little bit of Sanling Powder into the pot of porridge in front of him, and the porridge immediately became extremely fragrant.

When many people saw this, their eyes immediately lit up and showed anxiety.

"Go on." Xuan Yangzi put the remaining Sanling powder into his arms and gave an order.

The Taoist priests around began to give out porridge, and the people continued to line up.

……

Time passed slowly, and in the blink of an eye, it turned from day to night.

Every street started to hold its own party.

Many people lingered there, and the lively scene made people linger.

Acrobatics, singing, dancing, and hawking sounds came one after another.

The hustle and bustle and worldly atmosphere filled the streets.

Cao Xing is an ordinary citizen in Fenglin State. Because of his carpentry skills, he can make a living in Fenglin State and even have a little surplus.

Today, Cao Xing got a few bowls of porridge at Qingyun Temple, and took them home to share with his wife and children.

During the day, my wife and children were a little tired from shopping, so they rested at home.

"This porridge smells delicious. Eat it quickly so we can go to the party." Cao Xing put it on the table and urged.

When his wife and son smelled the fragrance of the porridge, they immediately came over.

"It smells so good, what did you put in it?" The wife was a little surprised.

Cao Xing shook his head and said, "I don't know either, but it smells really good. Eat quickly and let's go have some fun."

Before he could finish his words, Cao Xing discovered that his wife and children had already started eating with relish.

Seeing this situation, Cao Xing shook his head.

“I felt the same way at the time.”

Thinking of this, Cao Xing waited until his wife and children finished eating, then took them to the venue of the party.

Tonight, not only Cao Xing, but many people are like this.

There were even many people from other streets who ran to Qingyun Temple to ask for white porridge.

The scene was very lively at that time. The responsible member of Unit C went forward to check and found that it was Sanling Powder, but did not think much about it.

The evening party gradually unfolded in Maple Forest State.

However, one question puzzled many members of the government offices and the Tianjiansi.

"Why is tonight's party so quiet?"

For other people, the party was extremely lively, but for them, this liveliness was not right.

Nothing weird.

From the time of the party until now, there has not been a single strange thing.

Logically speaking, the more lively the atmosphere is, the more resentful the people who live a miserable life will feel in this kind of atmosphere.

Add to that the fact that the shadows are wearing clothes, and there should be more resentment, and weirdness will appear more frequently.

But now, I didn’t even encounter a single monster.

This extremely calm state happens to be the most abnormal.

"What on earth is the reason that caused the strange phenomenon of Shadow wearing clothes to occur?"

An idea emerged in the minds of many members of the Tianjian Division.

As ideas emerged, a lot of information gathered at the location of the leader Ye Feng. After Ye Feng had someone guard him strictly, he passed the information to Liu Wufeng and Liu Zhouling.

……

As everyone began to doubt, the party gradually came to an end.

Tomorrow is the state anniversary. Although there is no party, it is still very lively.

Many people were tired after a day of work and had returned to their houses to rest.

Cao Xing looked at his wife and children who were carrying a lot of things. Although he felt a little sad, he still felt very relieved.

"It only happens once a year, let them do as they please."

Sometimes you should spend the money you earn.

It was the annual provincial celebration, and Cao Xing thought it would be okay to make his wife and children happy.

The three of them opened the door while chatting.

The house was tidy and clean before his wife and children left.

Cao Xing lit the oil lamp and was about to speak when he turned around and saw his five-year-old son excitedly unpacking a package.

This is the nature of children. Normally, when Cao Xing saw this scene, he would only feel relieved.

But for some reason, the younger son's movements became very impetuous.

It was visible to the naked eye that there was a hint of anger on the youngest son's face.

Although it wasn't much, the anger seemed to be gradually increasing, and even the speed at which the youngest son opened the package became a little impatient.

Seeing this, Cao Xing also felt angry for some reason.

Next to him, his wife, who was always very gentle, suddenly reached out and grabbed her youngest son's ear.

"What are you doing? Can't you keep your voice down? What are you tearing apart? All you do is play all day. I really want to beat you to death!" said the wife angrily.

The youngest son suddenly raised his head and bit his wife's wrist: "Old witch, what are you doing? Who gives you the right to touch me?"

When Cao Xing saw this scene, his eyes widened.

He suddenly felt that extreme anger was rising.

"You two bastards, what are you doing in my house?"

Cao Xing walked up and slapped one of them.

Unexpectedly, his wife and children rushed over and started fighting with him.

As anger grew, resentment also began to increase.

On the ground, the shadows of the three people were constantly twisting and blending.

Above the shadow, a cold air was gradually condensing, causing the temperature of the house to drop rapidly.

Straws continued to gather on the shadow.

Gradually, the shadow stood up strangely and pounced towards the three people.

But at this moment, a dark light suddenly appeared on Cao Xing and others.

A dark light flashed, and a huge mouth appeared in mid-air, swallowing the shadow in a strange gulp.

Cao Xing and the other two rolled their eyes and fell to the ground unconscious.

……

This situation occurs in every house in Maple Forest State.

In the Qingyun Temple, far away from Fenglin Prefecture, the abbot of Changbai Temple was sitting cross-legged.

On the body of the master of Changbai Temple, layers of dark light kept flashing.

If you look closely, you will find that the aura of the Master of Changbai Temple has changed.

The original immortal demeanor was gone, and the master of Changbai Temple became gloomy and cold.

At the same time, the aura of the master of Changbai Temple was becoming stronger at a speed visible to the naked eye.

After about an incense stick of time, the master of Changbai Temple opened his eyes.

There was a hint of complexity in the eyes of the master of Changbai Temple.

“No wonder the wild Taoist and Buddhist sects are so deeply rooted.”

"Even I can't resist this kind of quick fix."

"In a short period of time, I have achieved a new growth trend in the realm that I have been stuck in for many years."

The head of Changbai Monastery waved his hand and said, "The Three Spirits Powder is mixed with the resentment objects they gave me, and the aura of the Devouring Strange Technique is left behind."

"Once you discover something strange, swallow it up immediately using the strange swallowing technique."

"Add to that the weirdness of the shadow wearing clothes, and it's almost 100% certain to trigger it."

"However, it is impossible to say that there are no side effects."

As soon as he finished speaking, the abbot of Changbai Temple stretched out his right hand and lifted up the sleeve of his right arm.

At the elbow of the right upper arm, there is a dark line that is spreading towards the chest.

"My emotions are out of control and I'm affected by something strange. It seems I need to study Taoist scriptures more often in my daily life." The master of Changbai Temple said to himself.

The side effect of the magic of swallowing ghosts is that one's mind is easily affected by the weirdness.

This is the cold and tyrannical aura that the master of Changbai Temple now exudes.

He could even feel that he was like a volcano that could erupt at any time, but he had been enduring it thanks to his years of Taoist cultivation.

Just then, the door of the room was pushed open.

The man in black walked in. After seeing the appearance of the master of Changbai Temple, he smiled and said, "Compared to other wild methods, this one has the lightest price. After all, your identity still needs to be hidden."

The head of Changbai Monastery glanced at him coldly and said, "You said that after I practiced the magic of swallowing ghosts, I would be able to kill Shen Bai. What is your method now?"

The reason why he practiced the art of swallowing ghosts was, firstly, because he joined the Yedao Sect, and secondly, because he wanted to kill Shen Bai.

He is practicing now, but the master of Changbai Temple is still confused about how to kill Shen Bai.

The man in black shook his head and said, "We can't do anything." The eyes of the master of Changbai Temple became even colder.

The man in black sat on a chair and leaned back. "The leader of the Shang Evil Sect possessed two abilities and was not an ordinary Tongmai Realm cultivator. He was killed by Shen Bai. Do you think we can send ordinary people?"

"If we send someone higher up, I'm afraid Liu Wufeng will notice us in no time."

"After all, whether it's the Wild Dao Sect or the Wild Buddhist Sect, they are all listed, and we can't take any risks."

The head of Changbai Monastery slowly stood up and asked, "So, what do you mean?"

Even if they sent a master at the Tongmai realm, he would still not be able to deal with Shen Bai. If a higher level master didn't dare to do it, how could they kill Shen Bai?

At this time, the tyrannical aura of the master of Changbai Temple was gradually getting stronger.

The man in black waved his hand: "Control your emotions. This is your first time to encounter wild methods. If you don't control yourself, it will be very dangerous."

Upon hearing this, Master Changbai took two deep breaths, and his breathing eased slightly.

The man in black continued, "If we want to kill Shen Bai, we still have to rely on you."

The head of Changbai Monastery was slightly taken aback: "If I can take action, why do I need you guys?"

He understood the meaning.

But if it was really him who took action, he would have done it long ago.

He didn't dare to act rashly given Shen Bai's current identity.

The man in black shook his head and said, "You still don't understand what I mean."

"Among the strange arts of swallowing, there is a secret technique called the method of feeding back. Do you understand now?"

The head of Changbai Monastery reacted and frowned: "You mean, using the magic of swallowing strange things to create powerful strange things, haha, I see, you really kill two birds with one stone."

"No, three birds with one stone."

"Not only did I join the Yedao Sect, I also killed Shen Bai, and it also caused huge damage to this state celebration."

The man in black shrugged: "There's nothing we can do. We're being chased so closely that we can't do anything."

The method of feeding back can feed all the swallowed monsters back to one monster.

This secret technique can only be used once in a lifetime. The purpose is to repay the favor, then swallow the monster and refine it in an instant.

The head of Changbai Monastery understood what the man in black meant and said slowly, "However, after the strangeness appeared, there were no rules for killing people. If Liu Wufeng knew about it, he would definitely rush over immediately."

"I don't think my strangeness can withstand Liu Wufeng's weapon."

The man in black smiled and said, "What if there is this?"

In the hands of the man in black, a talisman appeared, floating in the air and spinning slightly.

The head of Changbai Monastery widened his eyes and said, "This is... a death talisman. How could you bear to part with it?"

The Death Talisman is a unique skill of the Talisman Master lineage.

According to legend, after using the death talisman, the person being cast the spell can be bound to the evil, and the evil will fight against him until death.

This thing is very precious. What makes it precious is that things like the death talisman have been lost.

Of course, those who understand will understand that no one can tell whether this thing was lost intentionally or passively.

Because of this, the more talisman paper is used, the less it will be.

Extremely precious.

The man in black put away the talisman paper and said, "Shen Bai, at such a young age, has already proudly stood at the top of the young generation in Maple Forest State."

"If this continues, who can stop him?"

"Can you? Can I?"

"No, none of them can. The Ye Dao Sect never keeps enemies, let alone such a genius. He can only die."

Having said that, I have said everything that needs to be said.

After a long silence, the head of Changbai Monastery nodded and said, "I will take care of this matter."

The man in black put away the death talisman and said, "Remember, on the last night, use the method of feeding back. That is your limit, and it is also the limit for killing Shen Bai."

The abbot of Changbai Temple agreed.

The man in black turned and left the room.

After a while, only Master Changbai was left in the room.

The head of Changbai Monastery stood up, an idea blossoming in his mind: "Although my son died, joining the Yedao Sect was also a good choice. My son's death was worth it. I can use the magical art of swallowing ghosts to reach a peak that ordinary people cannot reach."

I never have this kind of thought in normal times.

The magical art of swallowing strange things is changing the mind of the master of Changbai Temple.

……

Time gradually passes.

Recently, the Tianshi Division has become busy.

Due to the strange and abnormal phenomenon of the shadow wearing clothes, Liu Wufeng is conducting a frantic investigation.

However, it was impossible to find out any useful information in such a short period of time.

On the other hand, the Wild Taoist Sect and the Wild Buddhist Sect began to show up and appeared everywhere on the edge of Fenglin State.

Some members of the Tianjian Division are running around in the wild.

"Tell the leaders of each tribe that the Wild Dao Sect and the Wild Buddhist Sect seem to be using a trick to lure the tiger away from the mountain."

Liu Wufeng said slowly: "I will continue to stay in Fenglin State. Each person is equipped with a signal talisman. If you encounter danger, burn the talisman."

An extremely precious talisman was distributed to every member of the Heavenly Monitoring Bureau.

Shen Bai looked at the talisman, then at the two strands of evil spirit he had obtained, and fell into deep thought.

There are fewer weird things, but that doesn’t mean there are no weird things.

Even though Shen Bai spent a lot of time and effort looking for them, he only found two.

Including the previous ones, he only had four strands of evil spirits.

Shen Bai also heard Liu Wufeng's order and felt a little uneasy.

"Could this thing be aimed at me?" Shen Bai put away the talisman paper and thought to himself.

After thinking for a while, Shen Bai shook the idea off.

"We'll see later. Right now, even Liu Wufeng doesn't have any clues. Let's just take it one step at a time."

Shen Bai stretched and turned to look at the people who were celebrating.

"Happy holidays, Mr. Shen!"

"Master Shen, have this. It's very delicious. I just developed it."

"Master Shen, look, this candied haws has a unique shape."

Many people greeted Shen Bai from time to time when passing by him.

Today is the last day of the state celebration.

By the second day, Shen Bai had become familiar with this street.

He himself was born in a small county town, and he was also a pawnshop owner, so he understood the people's ways very well.

In the eyes of the people, Shen Bai is of noble status, but humble and elegant, and is deeply loved by the people.

"Brother Shen, the party is about to end, do you want to go and see it?"

A little girl of five or six years old walked up to Shen Bai, holding a sugar man in her hand, and asked with a smile.

Shen Bai squatted down and touched the little girl's head: "I'm not going. You go play first. I'll come find you when I'm done."

The little girl said "oh", waved her chubby hands, and left with her mother: "Brother Shen must come."

Shen Bai also smiled and waved.

Beside him, Huang Guang looked at Shen Bai's gentle expression and shook his head.

"It's hard to imagine that Lord Shen, who was praised by the forces of Maple Forest State and single-handedly eliminated the Shang Evil Sect, would be so gentle."

Kong Fang also echoed beside him, "Master Shen's sword energy can transform all things, and it is only natural that it can transform into something as gentle and smooth as jade."

Shen Bai came back to his senses: "Alright, stop praising me. I was just cured, that's all. Nothing can heal others better than a human cub."

Huang Guang and Kong Fang didn't understand.

Shen Bai waved his hand and said, "Notify everyone and ask them to be more vigilant. Tonight is the last day. I have a feeling something will happen."

When it came to business, the two of them nodded in agreement without hesitation.

Shen Bai continued to stroll on the street.

When night fell, the fiery atmosphere in the entire Maple Forest State reached its peak.

"Master Shen, look, fireworks."

Huang Guang pointed to the sky.

Shen Bai looked up and saw fireworks blooming in the dark night sky on the streets.

"It's a festive atmosphere, but there really isn't any sign of turmoil in the dynasty." Shen Bai said, narrowing his eyes.

He finally understood the necessity of the state celebration. Without it, the people might have no place to release the various troubles they encounter throughout the year.

"No matter how hard the times are, there needs to be happiness." Kong Fang said seriously.

Shen Bai turned his head: "What you said is actually contrary to your personality."

Kong Fang coughed and said, "I read it in a storybook. In that storybook, the protagonist's aunt died at the beginning, but the aunt stayed with the protagonist all the time. It was really touching."

Shen Bai asked curiously, "What storybook?"

Kong Fang thought about it, but couldn't think of a specific one: "I think it's called something magical, but I can't remember."

Shen Bai shook his head and didn't delve into it.

"continue."

He planned to continue patrolling the streets.

But at this moment, something unusual happened.

Amber in Shen Bai's arms suddenly meowed.

The cry was sharp and contained a hint of intimidation.
