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

The moment the Qingwei Sect Leader saw the fish, his eyes widened in shock!

Arowana!

Moreover, it's a dragonfish with two horns on its head, about to transform into a dragon!

The two protrusions on the fish's head were quite large, already about the length of a little finger. If they grew any longer, they would be real dragon horns!

The Qingwei Sect Leader was deeply shocked.

This legendary auspicious creature was actually kept in a water tank in the backyard of Qingfeng Temple.

And judging from the fish's leisurely appearance, it's clear it's doing very well here.

"This arowana... is truly blessed."

Master Qingwei muttered to himself.

To be able to cultivate alongside a master like Master Li, even if one is just a fish, is an immense opportunity.

Zhang Shouqing didn't hear clearly: "What did the Taoist priest say?"

"It's nothing." Sect Leader Qingwei shook his head, suppressing the turmoil in his heart, and continued his tour.

After walking around, he didn't find anything unusual.

This Taoist temple is as ordinary as it gets.

But the more this happened, the higher his opinion of that Taoist priest, Li, became.

Returning to simplicity and authenticity, keeping one's true nature hidden.

This is a true master.

After they finished walking around, they returned to the front yard.

Li Jun's meal is ready.

A simple four-dish meal with soup: green vegetables and tofu, shredded potatoes, scrambled eggs, and a plate of cured meat.

These are all home-style dishes, but they are cooked to perfection in color, aroma, and taste.

"Master, this is just simple food, please don't mind it," Zhang Shouqing said politely.

"It's already very good," said Master Qingwei with a smile.

The four of them sat down to eat.

Mingxin was still a little reserved, but seeing that her master and Master Li were very natural, she gradually relaxed.

At the dinner table, the Qingwei Sect Leader asked about the daily life of Qingfeng Temple, and Zhang Shouqing answered one by one.

Li Jun then buried himself in his rice.

After finishing his meal, Master Qingwei rose to take his leave.

"Fellow Daoist Shouqing, I have disturbed you greatly today. I will take my leave now."

"You're too kind, Daoist Master. Please come again when you have time," Zhang Shouqing said.

The Qingwei Sect Leader nodded and looked at Li Jun: "Daoist Li, thank you for your hospitality today."

Li Jun quickly waved his hand, "Daoist Master, you're too kind."

The Qingwei Sect Leader smiled and said to Mingxin, "Mingxin, let's go."

Mingxin quickly got up.

Remembering something, Li Jun took out two amulets from his pocket.

"Oh, right, Master Mingxin, this is for you."

Mingxin was stunned. Looking at the two yellow and red talismans, her hands trembled.

He looked at his master.

A hint of excitement flashed in the eyes of the Qingwei Sect Leader.

He knew all too well how terrifying the effects of the talismans made by Master Li were.

News came back from Bingcheng that a health talisman that could cure all diseases not only cured Jin Hao's "weakness" but also protected him during the female ghost's attack.

A talisman of this caliber would fetch an astronomical price if it were sold outside!

The Qingwei Sect Leader nodded: "Since it's a gift from Daoist Li, you should accept it."

"Thank you... thank you, Master Li!" Mingxin took the talisman with both hands and carefully put it into her bosom.

It looked as if he were holding some rare treasure.

Zhang Shouqing watched from the side and felt that it was a bit stingy for his apprentice to only give him two talismans.

But thinking of what Sect Leader Qingwei had just said, he fell silent again.

Some things are better left to fate.

After seeing off Sect Leader Qingwei and Mingxin, the master and disciple returned to the courtyard.

Li Jun looked at his master, hesitated for a moment, and then asked, "Master, what about Grandmaster...?"

Zhang Shouqing waved his hand, looking somewhat tired.

"Let's talk about it later, let me... take a break first."

With that, he turned and went back to his room.

Li Jun watched his master's retreating figure and sighed inwardly.

It seems that the matter of the advisor had a great impact on the master.

He didn't ask any more questions and turned back to his room.

Inside the room, the evil-repelling sword was still tucked under the bed.

Li Jun hesitated for a moment, but still didn't dare to take it out.

He sat down at his desk, took out paper and pen, and began to recall the talismans that Mingxin had drawn on the ground.

Exorcism talisman, house protection talisman, calming talisman...

He meticulously copied it from memory, stroke by stroke.

Although the drawing is crooked, the general outline is correct.

"I don't know if it will even work..."

Li Jun muttered to himself, just about to study it some more, when his phone suddenly rang.

It was Jin Hao calling.

"Hey, Golden Horn, what's wrong?"

"Taoist Brother!" Jin Hao's voice was excited. "The South City Night Watch branch contacted me and wants me to go over this afternoon!"

Li Jun's heart stirred.

So fast?

"What did they say?"

"They just told me to go over there, but didn't say what it was about," Jin Hao said. "But I guess it might be some kind of assessment."

"Brother Taoist priest, do you think I'll pass?"

"You definitely can," Li Jun encouraged.

"Hehe, thank you for your kind words." Jin Hao laughed. "Then I'll go this afternoon, and I'll let you know as soon as I have any news."

"Okay, go ahead."

The two chatted for a few more minutes before hanging up.

Li Jun held his phone, his heart filled with anticipation.

The Night Watch's cultivation techniques...

He is getting closer and closer to the true world of the extraordinary.

Outside the window, the sun is shining brightly.

A mountain breeze rustled the leaves.

Li Jun looked at the crooked talismans on the table, and then at the bronze box containing the evil-suppressing sword under the bed.

This world is far more wonderful than he imagined.

And he was about to push open that door.

To truly step into that mysterious world.

……

1:30 PM.

Jin Hao took a taxi to Qingshan District of Nancheng City.

The taxi stopped in front of an ordinary-looking office building.

Jin Hao got out of the car and looked up at the more than ten-story building.

The glass curtain wall reflected the sunlight, and a sign reading "Qingshan District Special Office" hung at the entrance.

It looks like an ordinary unit.

But Jin Hao knew this place was no ordinary place.

He took a deep breath, tightened the peach wood sword wrapped in cloth on his back, and strode inside.

The lobby on the first floor was quiet, with only a young woman in business attire sitting at the front desk.

"Hello, what can I do for you?" The woman looked up and gave a professional smile.

"I'm looking for Liu Zhenguo, the person in charge," Jin Hao said. "My name is Jin Hao, and I have an appointment with him."

Upon hearing this, a hint of surprise flashed in the woman's eyes, but she quickly regained her composure.

"Please wait a moment."

She picked up the internal phone and whispered a few words.

After hanging up, she stood up and smiled warmly: "Jin Hao, right? Manager Liu will be down right away. Please sit in the rest area for a while."

"OK, thanks."

Jin Hao sat down on the sofa in the rest area, looking around with some curiosity.

The decor is simple: white walls, gray floors, and a few potted plants.

It's no different from an ordinary office building.

But Jin Hao noticed that the people coming and going in the hall were all dressed in casual clothes, walking hurriedly, and with serious expressions.

and……

These people all possess an indescribable quality.

Just then, the elevator doors opened.

A middle-aged man in a dark gray Zhongshan suit strode out. He had a square face and an imposing presence.

It was Liu Zhenguo.

"Jin Hao!"

As soon as Liu Zhenguo saw Jin Hao, a warm smile immediately appeared on his face, and he strode over.

"Manager Liu." Jin Hao quickly stood up.

"Just call me Uncle Liu." Liu Zhenguo smiled and patted Jin Hao on the shoulder. "Come on, let's go upstairs and talk."

The two entered the elevator.

The elevator doors closed, and Liu Zhenguo pressed the button for the third basement level.

Jin Hao was taken aback.

The third basement level?

"Our branch is underground," Liu Zhenguo explained. "The surface is just a cover."
