This humble Taoist priest, Qianhe, begins his quest for immortality by slaying demons and monsters.

Chapter 19 Choosing Jiuquan Town, the Location of the Three Fiends

Several days have passed in the blink of an eye.

Sanmao Ancestral Temple.

Normally, the elders of the various halls of Maoshan hold meetings in the main hall of the sect leader. However, since the current sect leader Xuanmingzi of Maoshan has not yet emerged from seclusion, the meeting place has become the Sanmao Patriarch Hall.

"The top five disciples for this competition are almost ready. Qian Yuan, based on the information received by the Enforcement Hall, which areas require Maoshan disciples to be stationed there?"

Such matters are usually coordinated by the Law Enforcement Hall. In the past, True Person Qian Yuan would entrust them to Liu Gang, but this time, since Zhong Bai needed to go down the mountain, True Person Qian Yuan took extra responsibility.

"Uncle Ming, the locations that need to be guarded by Maoshan disciples have been basically tallied up."

One of them is Renjia Town.

Renjia Town is a large town with a population of several thousand, but it has never been guarded by any Taoist sect. As a result, evil spirits often appear. Renjia Town then made a request to Maoshan, who even designated a courtyard in the town as the location of their charitable shrine.

Secondly, there is Ping'an County, which has a population of tens of thousands, but no Taoist temple has ever been set up there. People seeking children or asking about rice can ignore this, but it is still a county town. Even if it is popular, disciples still need to be stationed there.

Thirdly, there are mountain roads and official roads. These are located on official roads but are too far from human habitation. People traveling to and from these areas are often harmed by evil spirits, so it is also necessary to set up a Taoist temple there.

Fourthly, there is Jiuquan Town!
The area where the Three Killings are located is rife with evil spirits and is considered a tough nut to crack.

Fifthly, there's Shimen Town. Speaking of which, Shi Jian, the headmaster's personal disciple, hails from this town.

After listening to what Master Qian Yuan said, everyone present had their eyebrows twitching as they weighed the pros and cons. Since they were all disciples coming down the mountain, everyone would have selfish motives. Therefore, choosing a good place was very important.

"In that case, the risks involved in this disciple's descent down the mountain are not low."

Ming Wanqian frowned. The land of Kyushu is becoming increasingly chaotic. The information that Maoshan has found is relatively accurate, but the number of hidden demons is definitely countless!
The purpose of sending Zhong Bai and the others down the mountain was not really to risk their lives to protect the area, but more importantly, to train them, or rather, to use demons to cultivate them more quickly.

"How about this, Shi Jian will go to Shimen Town, which will be considered a homecoming, so that the Sect Leader can rest assured."

Lin Fengjiao headed to Renjia Town, Siqian headed towards the official road, Zhegu headed to Ping'an County, and as for Zhong Bai… let him go to Jiuquan Town!

After saying that, Ming Wanqian didn't give anyone a chance to argue and turned to leave.

Seeing this, Master Qian Yuan was somewhat bewildered. No, he had said he would choose a more relaxed and comfortable place for his disciple to establish a Daoist temple.

How come... suddenly Uncle Ming made the final decision and designated Jiuquan Town?

He wanted to speak, but neither his junior brother Changsheng nor his junior brother Lin had any objections. For the time being, Master Qianyuan could only let Zhong Bai know the decision before making any further plans.

"Senior Brother Qian Yuan, speaking of which, Junior Brother Jiuquan Town has passed through before. It is the location of the Three Fiends, where evil energy gathers and demons are attracted. If Junior Nephew Zhong Bai goes there to establish a Daoist temple, Senior Brother Qian Yuan will have to pay a heavy price!"

The Immortal of Longevity looked at Qian Yuan with a deep gaze. He was eager to know what good things his senior brother Qian Yuan, who was taking on his first disciple, could offer Zhong Bai as he descended the mountain.

“Junior Brother Changsheng, you are overthinking it. Zhong Bai’s skill in thunder magic is quite remarkable; he just lacks time. I would like to give him some treasures, but unfortunately, my disciple probably won’t have the opportunity to use them…”

Master Qian Yuan also smiled. They were regulars he dealt with, and he knew best what words could be the most hurtful.

Upon hearing this, Changsheng Zhenren was speechless. Indeed, what need did Zhong Bai have for any treasures?
With his mastery of lightning magic and his potent blood and qi, heh heh, any demons or evil spirits who encounter him will likely not survive unless they run fast enough. He's worrying for nothing...

"Four Eyes, Four Eyes, show some spirit, so that your teacher can also have a day when he can be proud and arrogant, please."

While feeling bitter inside, Lin Fengjiao's master, Master Lin, watched the whole thing with a smile, seemingly enjoying the spectacle. Although Lin Fengjiao only had the strength of the fourth level of Qi Refining, she was very composed!

Well, he wasn't worried about his disciple encountering any danger after going down the mountain.

After a brief meeting, Master Qian Yuan returned to the Law Enforcement Hall, where Zhong Bai had already packed his things and was waiting for him.

Upon entering the main hall, seeing that Zhong Bai had already finished preparing, Master Qian Yuan couldn't help but feel a little resentful. Was his disciple in such a hurry?
"Zhong Bai, you're certainly proactive."

“Master, I only wish to descend the mountain as soon as possible so that I can establish my own temple and protect this region.”

Zhong Bai's single sentence effectively shut down Qian Yuan Zhenren's next idea.

Sigh.

"Your post has been decided: Jiuquan Town!"

This town is no ordinary place. It is located in the Three Killings position, a place where Yin Sha, Di Sha, and Xiong Sha converge, and is often associated with lurking demons.

To be honest, I feel it's a bit dangerous. If you're not comfortable with that, I can find you another place..."

Upon hearing about Jiuquan Town and the Three Fiends Position, Zhong Bai was taken aback. The place seemed very familiar; there appeared to be a church there, as well as Western vampires.

Hmm, good location!

"Master, do you mean... there are many demons here?"

Zhong Bai approached the situation with uncertainty, knowing that movie plots shouldn't be applied to reality. If there were no evil spirits in Jiuquan Town, he would have wasted a lot of opportunities to gain demon-slaying points.

"That's right!
Even if there are no demons or evil spirits on ordinary days, many evil spirits will unconsciously come to this place because of the special nature of the Three Fiends position.

At the same time, both corpses and souls are prone to turning into ghosts. It can be said that if the Three Fiends positions were not sealed, and were fully opened, Jiuquan Town would have long since become a living hell, just like Tengteng Town..."

Ok?
Upon hearing the words "Tengteng Town," Zhong Bai's eyes lit up.

"Master, could you tell me about the situation in Tengteng Town?"

Upon seeing Zhong Bai's appearance, Master Qian Yuan immediately sensed something was wrong. Could this kid be planning to take over Tengteng Town?

"Ahem, my disciple, I think you can do everything else, but I must solemnly warn you not to set foot in Tengteng Town lightly!"
Fifty years ago, a flying zombie appeared in Tengteng Town. Zombies are not subject to reincarnation and are rejected by the six realms of existence.

From the moment of transformation into a zombie, it evolves sequentially, and the hairy zombie is equivalent to a cultivator before the sixth level of Qi Refining.

It is further divided into white-haired zombies, green-haired zombies, black-haired zombies, and purple-haired zombies.

Among them, the purple-haired zombie has enormous potential, comparable to a cultivator at the sixth level of Qi Refining!

Further on, they evolve into jumping zombies, which are equivalent to cultivators in the late stage of Qi Refining.

If one has the opportunity to advance further, one may transform into a bronze-armored zombie, which is impossible to defeat without reaching the ninth level of Qi Refining. Generally, it takes a Foundation Establishment cultivator to come down the mountain to deal with it.

As for the Silver Armor Corpse King and the Golden Armor Corpse King, who are comparable to Foundation Establishment cultivators, ordinary Foundation Establishment cultivators would only be able to run away when they encounter them.

And Tengteng Town!

At this point, Master Qian Yuan's eyes and expression were filled with complexity and reminiscence.

"Fifty years ago, a golden-armored zombie king appeared in Tengteng Town, and it was about to turn into a flying zombie!"

At that time, I had just entered the Foundation Establishment realm. When the Buddhist and Taoist forces joined forces to attack Tengteng Town, they found that the golden-armored corpse king was already half a step into the Flying Zombie realm.

He even had several silver-armored zombie kings under his command. In the end, he was unable to eliminate them. Even a Golden Core expert from the Buddhist sect who was about to undergo Nirvana severely injured the half-step flying zombie, but could only seal it, and could not kill it.

Heaven knows if, fifty years later, that half-step flying zombie in Tengteng Town has even taken that step…

Speaking of this, Master Qian Yuan still felt a lingering fear. He almost died in Tengteng Town. It could be said that it was the closest Master Qian Yuan had ever come to death in his life!
