Inside the room, Li Jun took a deep breath, a profound and inscrutable expression on his face.

"This is just an experiment."

"An attempt?" Jin Hao's eyes lit up even more. "An attempt at what?"

Li Jun waved his hand dismissively, saying, "It's an advanced version of the protective spell. It can not only protect you but also repel enemies. It's specifically designed to protect ordinary people."

He paused, then added, "Tell Yin Jian that he can come in once the barrier dissipates, and there won't be any problems afterward."

Jin Hao was so shocked after hearing this that he was speechless.

An advanced version of a protective charm?

The barrier covering the entire Lu County was actually just an advanced version of a protective spell?

Just how terrifying is this Taoist priest's strength?!

"Taoist brother, this... can I learn it?" Jin Hao asked cautiously, his eyes full of anticipation.

Li Jun glanced at him, quickly calculating in his mind.

It's impossible to teach him; he's still completely clueless himself.

But you have to say it nicely.

"You can't learn it now," Li Jun shook his head. "You can try when your total anger reaches a thousand times what it is now."

He deliberately exaggerated the figure.

A thousand times... that's enough for Jin Hao to train for ages.

Jin Hao was indeed frightened.

A thousand times?

He has only filled less than one-tenth of his dantian now; once it is full, it will increase more than tenfold.

A thousand times, wouldn't that require reaching the Void Refinement Realm?

The Taoist priest is indeed too strong.

Jin Hao was filled with emotion and a strong sense of admiration welled up within him.

"Oh, right."

"Brother Taoist, can I talk to the Night Watch about this?"

Li Jun thought for a moment and nodded: "It's alright."

Anyway, the Night's Watch has already filled in most of the blanks in their minds, so a little more wouldn't matter.

Jin Hao quickly took out his phone and sent a message to Liu Zhenguo.

Just then, footsteps were heard outside the room.

The old Taoist priest Zhang Shouqing pushed open the door and walked in.

Upon seeing Jin Hao, the old Taoist priest smiled and said, "Jin Hao, you're here? Stay for lunch, I'll get you something delicious."

Jin Hao smiled and nodded, "Thank you, Master Zhang!"

He also shared Yin Jian's story with the old Taoist priest.

"Master Zhang, Yin Jian has brought his girlfriend and future mother-in-law to Lu County!"

Upon hearing this, the old Taoist priest was overjoyed: "Great news! Is this the Miao girl you were talking about? She's come all this way, so you must tell Yin Jian not to bully her."

Li Jun, who was listening nearby, couldn't help but laugh: "Master, it's still uncertain who will bully whom in the future."

The old Taoist priest glared at him: "It's good that you're capable; you can manage the household."

After saying that, he turned around and prepared to go to the kitchen.

But before leaving, the old Taoist priest looked back at Li Jun one last time.

His eyes were full of disappointment and frustration.

Li Jun was completely bewildered by the glare.

What's wrong with Master?

He scratched his head, unable to figure it out, and simply gave up trying to think about it.

"Jin Hao, come on, let's help with the cooking."

The two followed the old Taoist priest to the kitchen.

……

at the same time.

The South City Night Watchers headquarters, conference room on the third basement floor.

President Qin stared at the message Jin Hao had sent on his phone screen, his fingers trembling slightly.

"The barrier is an attempt at an advanced version of the protective spell, designed to protect ordinary people and drive away practitioners. It is expected to dissipate in three hours and will have no further effect afterward."

Just a few lines.

President Qin watched it five times over.

Each time he watched it, the shock in his heart deepened.

A protective charm?

The most basic defensive spell in "Introduction to Spells"?

Advanced version?

A super barrier that can cover the entire Lu County and only blocks cultivators, not ordinary people—you're telling me this is an advanced version of a protective spell?!

"Mr. Qin, what's wrong?"

Sitting opposite him, Master Xuanming noticed that President Qin's expression was off and asked.

President Qin took a deep breath and pushed his phone to the center of the table.

Xuanming Daoist looked down.

A few seconds later.

The old Taoist priest's teacup clattered onto the table, splashing scalding tea all over him, but he was completely unaware.

"This...this..."

Exclusive! An exclusive interview with "I Want to Write" and behind-the-scenes look at the creation of "How Did I Become a Taoist Ancestor While Selling Peach Wood Swords on Live Stream?", exclusively for Cola Novels.

Xuanming Daoist's lips trembled, and he couldn't utter a complete sentence for a long time.

Other people in the conference room also came over to look.

Then, everyone fell silent.

Dead silence.

A full half minute passed before Master Xuanming finally spoke in a trembling voice, "President Qin, has this news... been confirmed?"

"It was sent by Jin Hao," President Qin said hoarsely. "He's with Master Li right now."

"So..." Lan Cailing swallowed, "the barrier enveloping the entire Lu County was just a... small experiment by Master Li?"

"Or is it an advanced version of a basic protective spell?"

No one answered.

Because the answer is written on everyone's face.

Shocking, unbelievable, my worldview collapsed.

These people have been struggling on the path of spiritual practice for decades.

Refining essence into qi, and cultivating qi into spirit, I have come a long way and know the difficulty of cultivation.

A basic spell, if practiced to its fullest extent, is only good enough to protect three feet of the body.

Protect a county?

This is ridiculous, isn't it?!

"We..." Wang Hu muttered to himself, "We're cultivating a false immortality, aren't we?"

No one laughed at him.

Because at this moment, everyone had the same thought in their minds.

Compared to Master Li, what exactly have they been cultivating all these years?

"President Qin."

Master Xuanming's voice trembled: "Master Li... what exactly is his cultivation level?"

President Qin gave a wry smile.

"Senior, do you think I can tell?"

What right do those at the Refining Spirit and Qi Refining stages have to speculate?

"However..." President Qin paused, "Judging from Master Li's performance during this period, he has probably... already surpassed the Dao Integration stage."

In harmony with the Dao!

As soon as those two words were uttered, a collective gasp filled the conference room.

Since the end of the Dharma-ending Age, the spiritual revival has only lasted for a little over twenty years.

The strongest person in the Great Xia Dynasty, Zhang Tianshi of Longhu Mountain, is only at the early stage of the Void Refinement Realm.

Harmony with the Dao?

That's a realm recorded in ancient books, not to mention the realm beyond the Dao!

Legend has it that cultivators at the Dao Integration Realm have already begun to grasp the laws of heaven and earth, and possess the power to move mountains and fill seas with their every move.

Their lifespan can reach a thousand years.

A true terrestrial deity!

For a moment, everyone looked at each other in disbelief, their shock beyond measure.

The barrier covering the entire county was merely an attempt made casually by Master Li.

What would Master Li be like if he got serious?

OK.

At this moment, Lan Cailing, who had been silent all along, suddenly spoke up.

"President Qin, I would like to pay my respects to Master Li."

Upon hearing this, President Qin instinctively wanted to refuse.

But the words stuck in his throat.

He glanced at Yin Jian beside him and suddenly remembered—Lan Cailing was Yin Jian's future mother-in-law.

Yin Jian was a good friend of Master Li.

This relationship...

What right does Qin Chengzhong have to refuse on behalf of Master Li?

"This matter... depends on what Master Li thinks," President Qin said, carefully choosing his words.

Lan Cailing immediately understood, "I get it."

"I can wait."

"Wait until the barrier dissipates, and until Master Li is willing to see me."

She paused, then added, "The reason I came to Luxian this time was to meet my in-laws."

"It would be even better if we could pay our respects to Master Li while we are meeting our in-laws."

Upon hearing this, President Qin breathed a sigh of relief.

It seems that Lan Cailing knows how to behave appropriately.

I won't do anything reckless.

Just then, a phone call came in.

It was an emergency call within the Night's Watch.

When President Qin answered the phone and listened for a few minutes, his expression immediately turned serious.

After hanging up the phone, he looked at everyone.

"News has come from Longhu Mountain; the situation has changed."

"Master Zhang believes that the chance of resealing that evil spirit is less than 10%."

"This battle is unavoidable!"
