I was selling peach wood swords on a live stream, how did I become a Taoist ancestor?

Chapter 33 Lu County... is it really that peculiar?! (Please continue reading)

Mingxin was taken aback: "Huh? Now? On the street?"

"Try it now!"

Seeing his master's serious expression, Mingxin dared not delay.

He quickly took out a self-drawn talisman from his backpack, made hand gestures, and chanted incantations.

result----

No response.

The talisman was still the same talisman, unchanged.

Mingxin's expression changed: "Master, I—it worked perfectly yesterday!"

Master Qingwei loosened his grip and took a deep breath.

"That's normal."

He looked around, his eyes filled with complex emotions: "If you can use talismans here, you're not just a once-in-a-millennium talent, you're a once-in-five-hundred-years genius in Taoism."

"If I weren't just one step away from the Void Refinement Realm, I wouldn't have been able to perceive this difference at all."

Mingxin was completely confused: "Master, what are you talking about?"

The Qingwei Sect Leader didn't explain, but muttered to himself, "After leaving the plaza, the spiritual energy in the world was almost nonexistent, as if we had returned to the Dharma-ending Age."

"And when you walk into the square, you can feel the presence of spiritual energy again—though it is faint, it is definitely there."

"It's like there's an invisible boundary that has made everything this way."

"Lu County—it's so peculiar."

"I'm even more curious about that old friend's descendants now."

"Let's go! Let's get there quickly!"

As he spoke, he pulled Mingxin toward Qingfeng Temple.

But just then, a black SUV quietly pulled up to the side of the road.

Chen Jianguo got out of the car and walked quickly to the two men.

"Master Qingwei, I am Chen Jianguo, and I have been ordered to come and receive you."

The Qingwei Sect Leader paused, narrowing his eyes as he sized up Chen Jianguo.

"The Night Watch?"

"Yes." Chen Jianguo said respectfully, "We have some information to explain about Qingfeng Temple. Please come in."

The Qingwei Sect Leader and Mingxin exchanged a glance.

Finally, the old Taoist priest nodded.

"lead the way."

The residential building opposite the courier station.

When the Qingwei Sect Leader entered the room, Liu Zhenguo was already waiting at the door.

"Junior Liu Zhenguo greets Sect Leader Qingwei."

The Qingwei Sect Leader waved his hand: "No need for formalities. Speak, why won't you let me go to Qingfeng Temple?"

"Master, please look out the window."

The Qingwei Sect Leader walked to the window and looked at the express delivery station across the street.

"What's so interesting about a delivery station?"

"This morning, Master Li from Qingfeng Temple will come here to pick up a package," Liu Zhenguo said in a deep voice. "Inside the package is an ancient sword from the Han Dynasty, named Zhenxie."

Sect Leader Qingwei raised an eyebrow: "Suppressing evil? Is that the vicious weapon unearthed from the tomb of the King of Huainan, the one that has drunk countless lives?"

"Exactly."

"Are you all insane?!" Sect Leader Qingwei's face darkened. "You dare let ordinary people come into contact with that kind of ferocious beast?"

"Master Li is no ordinary person," Liu Zhenguo said with a wry smile. "Moreover—that sword was a gift we gave to Master Li as a souvenir."

The Qingwei Sect Leader was stunned.

"You... gave away the Demon-Suppressing Sword as a souvenir?"

"Yes, in the name of the Folk Culture Research Association."

The old Taoist priest fell silent.

He looked at Liu Zhenguo with a complicated expression.

After a long pause, he slowly spoke: "You want to test him?"

Liu Zhenguo did not deny it: "We want to know how Master Li will handle that sword."

"Nonsense!" Sect Leader Qingwei roared, "What if he can't handle it? What if the murderous aura within the sword erupts? Have you considered the consequences?!"

Liu Zhenguo took a deep breath: "We've prepared for the worst, and—"

He paused for a moment, then continued, "According to what we know, a small peach wood sword that Master Li made previously triggered a divine phenomenon on Longhu Mountain."

"What?" Sect Leader Qingwei's pupils contracted. "A strange phenomenon involving a divine statue? What exactly is going on?"

Liu Zhenguo briefly recounted the information from Longhu Mountain.

After listening, Master Qingwei remained silent for a long time.

The statue bowed down —

In Taoist records, there are only two possible scenarios.

Either God is obviously holy.

Either a higher being descends.

"Who exactly is this Taoist priest Li?" The Qingwei Sect Leader's voice was dry.

"We don't know either," Liu Zhenguo shook his head, "but one thing is for sure: he's definitely not simple."

The Qingwei Sect Leader looked out the window again, his eyes deep and thoughtful.

"So you sent me here so I could witness this together?"

"Yes, and also—just in case."

The Qingwei Sect Leader snorted coldly and said nothing more.

He sat down on the chair by the window, closed his eyes, and began to meditate and regulate his breathing.

Mingxin stood behind her master, secretly glancing at Liu Zhenguo, then at the quiet courier station outside the window, her heart filled with curiosity.

Is that Taoist priest Li really that powerful?

Time passed second by second.

It's exactly eight o'clock.

An electric scooter wobbled to a stop in front of the courier station.

The deliveryman, Brother Zhou, got out of the car, his breath steaming in the air, and took out his keys.

"They're here!"

Everyone at the observation point perked up.

Liu Zhenguo pressed his earpiece: "Attention all groups, target detected."

"Repeat, target appears."

Watching the headquarters command center remotely via video, President Qin and the others held their breath.

In the video, Brother Zhou opens the roller shutter door and walks into the store.

A few minutes later, he brought out a long wooden box and placed it next to the counter.

The wooden crate was old, with shipping labels pasted on its surface.

It was the package sent from the Central Plains branch.

The Qingwei Sect Leader narrowed his eyes, staring at the wooden box.

Even from across the street, he could vaguely sense the cold, menacing aura emanating from the wooden box.

"Such a heavy aura of malevolence—"

The old Taoist priest muttered to himself, "This sword truly lives up to its reputation."

at the same time.

Qingfeng Temple.

-

Li Jun walked out of the room with dark circles under his eyes.

He yawned widely, his eyes almost closing.

The runes on that peach wood sword were too difficult to carve. He worked overtime until 3 a.m. last night before he could barely carve the pattern that Zhou Wenyuan wanted.

We have to continue today.

In the courtyard, the old Taoist priest was doing his morning exercises.

He performed a set of the Eight Methods of Dragon Gate with fluid grace and the wind howled through his fists.

Upon seeing Li Jun emerge, he stopped his attack and frowned.

"Jun'er, you can never earn enough money, but your health is the most important thing."

"Look at your dark circles, you look like a panda."

Li Jun nodded repeatedly: "I understand, Master. I will pay attention in the future."

The old Taoist priest sighed and said nothing more.

His gaze fell on Li Jun's chest, and he suddenly froze.

"Jun'er, your jade pendant—"

"Hmm?" Li Jun looked down.

He had a jade pendant in the shape of a Tai Chi symbol hanging around his neck, strung on a red cord. He usually kept it tucked inside his clothes, but it had accidentally come out when he yawned just now.

"Put it back in right away." The old Taoist priest frowned. "Don't you understand the principle of not flaunting wealth?"

Li Jun was both amused and exasperated: "Master, this isn't anything valuable."

Despite saying that, he still stuffed the jade pendant back into his clothes.

The moment his fingers touched the jade pendant, a thought flashed through Li Jun's mind.

This jade pendant—

He was the culprit who caused him to travel to this world.

When he first transmigrated here, he thought it was some kind of treasure, and that he would rise to the pinnacle of life like the protagonist in a novel.

The results of it?

Aside from being a bit sturdy and looking somewhat valuable, this jade pendant is nothing special.

If it weren't for the special meaning the jade pendant held for him, he would have sold it long ago to supplement his family's income.

"What are you daydreaming about?" The old Taoist priest's voice interrupted his thoughts.

"It's nothing," Li Jun shook his head. "Master, I need to go down the mountain in a bit to pick up a package."

"What is it now?"

"It's a souvenir sent by Researcher Zhou. He said that every partner receives one," Li Jun casually remarked.

The old Taoist priest nodded, not taking it to heart.

"Go early and come back early, be careful on the road."

"understood."

Li Jun quickly ate a couple of bites of breakfast, got on his electric scooter, and leisurely rode down the mountain.
