You, a living person, are telling me I've served in the underworld for ten years?

Chapter 155 Chen Yang Invokes the Gods, Fox Demon!
"Martial arts realm divisions?"

"Training the skin, muscles, bones, qi, blood, and internal strength?"

"Then comes the Martial Arts Grandmaster, and above that is the Martial Saint who has undergone marrow cleansing and blood transfusion?"

"The realm of Daoist arts..."

The description of the Daoist realm in the martial arts and Daoist arts classification chart published by the General Administration of Sport of China is rather simple.

Refining Qi, Entering the Dao, Refining the Spirit.

of course.

This is simply because it is not divided in detail. For example, the Taoist Qi Refining has nine levels, which involve differences in Qi Refining and Spirit Stabilization, and Yin Spirit Condensation.

Although no official press conference was held, the information published on the General Administration of Sport's website undoubtedly acknowledges what many people considered "rumors" in online news!

The whole nation was in an uproar!

Some people are worried that the arrival of the "new era" will impact their existing property and status, causing chaos!

Most people, however, were extremely excited!

The people of Daxia have a special affection for kung fu and cultivation. Who hasn't had a fantasy of having a sudden adventure, mastering skills, and traveling the world with a sword when they were young?

There are even videos online of young people quitting their jobs and selling their houses to become apprentices.

This has led to an unprecedented surge in popularity for the "World's Number One Martial Arts Tournament" and the "World's Number One Taoist Magic Tournament," attracting the attention of countless people.

Chen Yang browsed the news for a while, practiced his talisman-making for a bit, and then carried his small stool to the entrance of the funeral home.

"Xiao Chen!"

The owner of the hardware store next door greeted Chen Yang as soon as she saw him: "Come on, Chen, play some cards with me and your sister Li."

"Sister Li" is the owner of the "Tobacco and Alcohol Store" next door.

These two middle-aged best friends like to get together to gossip and play cards when they're not busy with business.

Since Chen Yang had nothing better to do, he joined them.

After skillfully shuffling the playing cards, Chen Yang slapped them onto a small stool and asked, "How do we play?"

Sister Li: "Shall we play Dou Dizhu?"

The hardware store owner, "Sister Jin," said, "Want to add a little something to the prize? One cent or one dollar?"

Chen Yang chuckled and said, "Sure, I'm fine with anything. Just have fun, ladies."

With his cultivation level, even without using his "divine soul power" to peek at the cards, his ability to calculate the cards alone was enough to play as if he had the cards upside down. In a game of Dou Dizhu where each point was worth one dollar, Chen Yang managed to win more than 100 dollars in just over twenty minutes.

"No more fighting!"

Sister Li got a good hand, but she still lost.

She threw down the cards in her hand and cursed, "Little Chen, what kind of incredible luck did you have... winning every single hand?"

Chen Yang: "Counting the cards!"

"cut!"

Sister Li clearly didn't believe it.

Soon, the two middle-aged best friends started gossiping again.

"By the way, Xiao Chen, did you know that Old Ma's shop next door has been sold?"

"Yes, I know. I saw the store was under renovation a couple of days ago."

"Yes, it's all renovated. The owner is a stunning beauty, with an incredibly elegant air... I heard she's going to open a dessert shop... Hey, look, there she is!"

Chen Yang followed Sister Li's gaze and saw a woman wearing a white dress walk out of the store.

Her makeup had a touch of ancient charm, and her temperament and appearance were excellent. Even Li Ali paled in comparison. Perhaps noticing Chen Yang's gaze, the "female boss" glanced over, nodded and smiled slightly, as if greeting her "neighbors".

Chen Yang only looked away after the beautiful female boss left.

A hint of surprise flickered in his eyes.

He sensed a peculiar aura emanating from that woman, an aura that was not yin energy... but demonic energy!

With Chen Yang's abilities, he naturally saw through her background at a glance.

"A...fox demon?"

Coming to the human world to open a dessert shop?
It even opened near my shop... Is it a coincidence... or is there some ulterior motive?
However, Chen Yang didn't pay much attention to it.

The fox demon's strength was only comparable to Li Ali's, and it was nothing to him.

Back at the shop, Chen Yang opened the "Book of Life and Death" to check if anyone in the surrounding counties and cities of Wucheng was "about to die" in the next few days. He would then record the information of these people, and Yang Shuai, Li Ali, and Ruyi would be responsible for going to their homes to "collect their souls".

Because there aren't enough "underworld messengers," sometimes when more people die, even Cat Master has to work.

This gave Chen Yang the idea of ​​bestowing another batch of underworld officials upon him.

He summoned Yang Shuai, Ali, and Ruyi, told them about the "dying person" in the coming days, and instructed them: "Remember, the soul-reaper must not reveal himself to frighten people."

"In addition, please keep an eye out for... see if there are any souls who did good deeds or performed great acts of kindness in their lives, and bring them to see me, General."

Time flies, and it's already May 1th.

With the preliminary rounds of the "World's Greatest Martial Arts Tournament" approaching, even taxis are displaying advertisements for the tournament.

In the morning, as soon as the shop door opened, Zhou Qiang arrived.

Since switching careers to run a "media company," Mr. Zhou's demeanor has changed drastically. His face is no longer as dark, his skin is much smoother, and most importantly, his beer belly has disappeared.

Chen Yang asked, "Have you been losing weight recently?"

Zhou Qiang laughed and said, "Isn't there a martial arts craze lately? Several martial arts schools have opened in Wucheng, and I signed up and trained for a while... It can be considered as responding to the national policy and improving my health."

Yang Shuai, however, did not believe it and questioned, "You've signed a lot of female anchors in your company, are you worried that they're too fat and their stamina won't keep up?"

Chen Yang laughed and scolded, "Why do you always speak the truth?"

Zhou Qiang could only force a smile and exchange a few pleasantries before pulling out a key and handing it to Chen Yang. He said, "Mr. Chen, Mr. Yang's villa over there has been renovated. When would be a convenient time for you to go and take a look?"

Yang Shuai was even more excited than Chen Yang, and immediately clamored to go see the house.

Chen Yang said, "Since we have nothing else to do, it might be good to go and take a look... Once we buy the furniture, we can move in pretty soon."

When they arrived at the villa, they discovered that Mr. Yang had already bought all the furniture.

The house's decoration and furniture are in a style that has been popular in the last two years, something like "French light luxury". Chen Yang didn't have any high needs or requirements in this regard, so he was naturally very satisfied that he could "move in with his bags".

"Mr. Zhou, please remember to thank Mr. Yang for me."

After seeing Zhou Qiang off, Chen Yang immediately took Yang Shuai, Mao Ye, and called Ali and Ruyi to the mall to buy home appliances and bedding. They successfully "moved in" that very night.

To celebrate moving into his new home, Cat Master prepared a large table of delicious food.

After eating and drinking enough.

Chen Yang arrived at the rooftop.

The renovation team also built a sunroom on the roof.

Chen Yang sat on the floor of the sunroom, looking up at the stars in the sky, when a sudden thought struck him: "Right... since I can travel between the Yin and Yang realms, then... what about the heavens?"

"I have been studying the Qingwei Daoist arts these past few days and have roughly mastered the application of the Qingwei [Divine General Technique]... If I were to use it now, could I truly summon a god from the heavens?"

Chen Yang acted immediately.

He immediately fetched incense and candles, arranged them in an array around him, and then silently channeled his spiritual power to communicate with heaven and earth...

I don’t know how long it took.

Suddenly, the wind picked up.

The burning incense and candles around Chen Yang were shaking violently when suddenly a strange force descended from the sky and "whoosh" entered Chen Yang's body!
