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

now.

The statue of Zhenwu the Great on the altar in the main hall of Qingfeng Temple...

He went from facing the crowd directly to facing the crowd sideways!

It's like... avoiding it?

Then, the moment Li Jun straightened up, the statue silently turned back.

Restore to its original state.

It was as if nothing had happened.

But this scene was clearly seen by President Qin and the others!

Everyone stared wide-eyed and gaped.

It was like seeing a ghost.

Do not……

More shocking than seeing a ghost!

The statue...moved?

When Master Li was offering incense, should you step aside to avoid him?

This...this...this...

Everyone's minds went blank, their worldviews were shaken like never before, and they looked at Li Jun's back with even greater awe.

After Li Jun finished offering incense, he turned around and saw everyone staring in disbelief.

He was somewhat confused.

"Gentlemen...would you like to offer some incense as well?"

Everyone then came to their senses.

"Yes! Yes, yes, yes!"

President Qin was the first to step forward and respectfully offer incense.

Then came Lan Cailing, Xuanming Daoren, Zhang Yunpu...

Everyone was very careful when offering incense, afraid of disturbing anything.

After offering incense, everyone stood still again.

After organizing his thoughts, President Qin spoke respectfully.

"Master Li, I am honored to visit you today because of what happened at Longhu Mountain last night. I have come to express my gratitude."

Li Jun was taken aback.

What happened at Longhu Mountain?

He recalled the video he had watched that morning—golden light soaring into the sky over Longhu Mountain, a treasure being born.

Is it...

President Qin continued, "Last night, a seal on Longhu Mountain loosened, and an evil spirit from five hundred years ago broke free, its strength having reached the mid-stage of the Void Refinement realm."

"We fought Zhang Tianshi to the death, but we were still no match for him."

"At the critical moment, it was the small peach wood sword that you gave me earlier that flew out on its own, turned into golden light, and completely annihilated the evil spirit."

"We have come to express our deepest gratitude for such a great kindness."

Li Jun remained outwardly calm after hearing this, but inwardly he was completely bewildered.

What happened at Longhu Mountain last night was actually related to me?

Damn, I've gotten myself into this mess while I was just watching the drama unfold?

but……

The middle stage of refining the void?

Annihilate with a single sword strike?

The little peach wood sword I gave him?

He felt his brain wasn't working properly.

Isn't that just something given away in a live stream raffle?

Is it really that powerful?

But then he thought again, he knew about the amplification effect of the jade pendant.

The talismans I drew before could attract heavenly lightning, and the peach wood sword could fly out on its own to kill an evil spirit... It doesn't seem impossible, does it?

While Li Jun was shocked, he became even more concerned about the secret of hiding the jade pendant.

Otherwise, once exposed, the consequences would be unimaginable.

At the same time, he also deeply realized the importance of the jade pendant to him.

This world is too dangerous. It's only the early stage of the spiritual energy revival, and evil spirits that have been suppressed for five hundred years have already emerged.

I can't even imagine what terrible things might happen in the future.

The jade pendant is the foundation for his future livelihood.

"I see." Li Jun nodded slowly, his tone calm. "That sword can help Longhu Mountain eliminate demons, so it can be considered to make the best use of its resources."

These words were spoken so casually, but they only made President Qin and the others more alarmed.

In Master Li's eyes, annihilating a mid-stage Void Refinement evil spirit with a single sword strike was merely "making the most of what one has."

This level of skill is truly exceptional.

"Daoist Master," Zhang Yunpu stepped forward and bowed deeply, "This humble Daoist has another matter to ask for your forgiveness."

"Speaking."

"The commotion last night was too great; all the supernatural organizations in various countries were monitoring it." Zhang Yunpu looked ashamed. "In order not to disturb the Daoist's peaceful cultivation, the Night Watch Headquarters decided to announce to the public that it was a method of my Longhu Mountain Celestial Master's Mansion."

He paused, then lowered his voice even further: "This is an act of falsely claiming credit, and I feel uneasy about it. I have come to apologize to the Daoist Master."

After hearing this, Li Jun felt relieved.

He already has enough trouble dealing with these people in front of him.

If their reputation spreads abroad, what would happen?

If people come to "pay their respects" every day, how will he make a living?

Now that someone is taking the blame for him, he couldn't be happier.

"It's alright." Li Jun waved his hand casually. "It's just an empty title, no need to care about it."

Upon hearing this, Celestial Master Zhang Yunpu's eyes reddened slightly.

Master Li not only didn't blame him, but was also incredibly magnanimous.

Such magnanimity is truly admirable.

"Thank you for your magnanimity, Daoist Master." Zhang Yunpu bowed again.

President Qin also breathed a sigh of relief.

"Master Li." Lan Cailing stepped forward and bowed respectfully.

Li Jun looked at her.

Is this Yin Jian's future mother-in-law?

"Lord Lan, there's no need for such formalities." Li Jun nodded in acknowledgment. "Yin Jian is a good friend of mine, and I will naturally look after him and Miss Lan's affairs."

That's a very eloquent way of putting it.

It expressed goodwill without making any promises.

But to Lan Cailing, it was an immense blessing.

If Master Li is willing to "take care" of Nianzhen, doesn't that mean that the Miao witchcraft lineage can also benefit from it?

"Thank you, Master Xie!" Lan Cailing's voice trembled with excitement.

Li Jun nodded and said nothing more.

He looked at President Qin: "Is there anything else you gentlemen have come here for today?"

President Qin quickly replied, "It's mainly to express my gratitude to the Taoist priest for his help last night, and also..."

He hesitated for a moment before speaking: "Jin Hao has brought back the revision suggestions for 'An Introduction to Magic Techniques,' and headquarters is working hard to revise it. The final version is expected to be completed next month and will be promoted nationwide."

"At that time, I would like to ask the Taoist priest to take a look and offer his corrections."

Li Jun's heart skipped a beat.

Righteous?

I'm not correcting anything!

I'm still learning myself!

But he couldn't say that.

I'm still learning myself!

But he couldn't say that.

"If I have some free time then, I'll take a look," Li Jun said casually, emphasizing the words "if I have some free time."

It means: I'm very busy and may not have time.

President Qin immediately understood: "The Taoist priest is extremely busy, it is already a great honor that he can take some time to take a look."

Li Jun nodded and said nothing more.

The atmosphere fell silent for a moment.

Standing in the main hall, everyone looked at Li Jun's calm and composed demeanor, each feeling a sense of感慨 (gǎnkǎi, mixed feelings).

Just as the rumors said, Master Li didn't talk much, but every word he uttered was worth pondering.

"Master Li," President Qin said, observing the situation, "We have already been inappropriate in coming today, and we dare not disturb you any further."

He glanced at the crowd and said, "How about we come to visit another day?"

Li Jun was just wondering how to send his guests off when he heard this, and immediately nodded.

After exchanging a few more polite words, everyone took their leave.

Li Jun saw them off at the gate of the courtyard, watched the group descend the mountain, and then breathed a long sigh of relief.

We finally managed to fool them.

He turned and went back to the courtyard, pausing as he passed his master's room.

The room was quiet.

Li Jun hesitated for a moment, but ultimately did not knock on the door.

Master needs some peace and quiet.

He also needs some quiet time.

Back in his room, Li Jun closed the door and sat on the bed.

Today's events made him even more certain...

We must improve our strength as soon as possible.

Otherwise, if the truth comes out one day, the consequences will be unimaginable.

"Cultivation!"

Li Jun sat cross-legged and began to circulate the "Basic Qi Refining Technique".

The Qi in his dantian flowed slowly, gradually growing stronger.

……

Outside the courtyard, President Qin and his entourage descended the stone steps in silence.

It wasn't until they had walked quite a distance that President Qin suddenly spoke:

"Did you see that just now?"

Zhang Yunpu, Lan Cailing, and Xuanming Daoist nodded in unison.

His expression was grave.

"When Master Li offered incense," President Qin said in a low voice, "the statue of the True Martial Emperor... turned to the side."

"It wasn't an illusion," Zhang Yunpu added. "The moment Master Li bowed down, the statue changed from facing the crowd directly to facing sideways, and when he straightened up, it returned to facing the crowd directly."

Lan Cailing took a deep breath: "That's a statue... a clay sculpture."

"But he turned to the side because of Master Li's bow..."

She didn't finish speaking.

But everyone understands what that means.

Is God clearly holy?

No.

It is a higher level of existence, so much so that even gods... must give way!

A mountain breeze blows, and the sound of the forest rustling in the wind.

Everyone turned around and looked at the inconspicuous Taoist temple on the mountainside.

Awe fills my heart, as if facing the heavens.

Meanwhile, members of certain extraordinary organizations around the world are experiencing similar sentiments to those of President Qin and others.
