Refining the True from the False: Becoming a God Starting with Devouring a True Dragon

Chapter 84 From Adversity to Prosperity: A Single Punch Leads to the Hundred-Turned Yin Ghost Needle - Wang Qi's Illegal Exorcism (5k)

A sneeze!

Wang Qi suddenly sneezed, startling the arrow in his hand so much that it shot directly into the ground.

He flexed his fingers.

He muttered to himself, "A strong martial artist should not be afraid of the cold. Is it because he has been refining the Stone Treasure and the Bloodthirsty Tiger's Gall that his evil aura has become too strong?"

This is the fourth day since Li Gangfeng was exorcised.

The business of exorcising evil spirits has not yet started, and the business of exorcising evil spirits has not received a second order.

There was no reply from Master Long from Gao Xu's side either.

Logically speaking,

The winter hunt is drawing to a close.

Ge Daniu followed his second uncle, who said he had changed his military registration and joined the army. He was supposed to be guarding the outer perimeter of the winter hunting party, but he didn't know how things were going.

Lu Shun didn't know whether he was going to the county town or somewhere else.

There has been no news from Sun Li either.

Alone in Songyue Tower, I haven't made any money, I don't have much freedom, and I don't even have anyone to talk to. It's a bit lonely.

He was starting to miss Xiao Hei's mouth.

I wonder how my two generals have changed.

In any case, according to what Wang Qi had heard Sun Li say before, it takes at least one month or even two months for a demon to undergo a transformation.

During this period,

I must not be disturbed.

Therefore, Wang Qi temporarily refrained from summoning the two.

They were afraid something might go wrong.

He believed that when it came to taming beasts, quality was more important than quantity.

There is a diligent and capable scout named Shi Liang and a talkative and eccentric translator named Xiao Hei.

almost.

The remaining weight can be left to those great demons who have never met but are destined to die at your hands.

"I'm a bit strapped for cash."

Wang Qi was reluctant to take the initiative to exorcise the evil spirits.

What is offered to us is hard to cherish; what we beg for is what we cherish most.

Hiring shady characters will only get you into trouble.

He wasn't afraid of trouble.

With such skills, trouble was bound to come sooner or later.

But it's best to bring as little as possible.

When there are too many flies around, it's disgusting whether you swat them or not.

"I wonder when we'll get any news about the rape case in Heihe County."

"It's been so many days, and there's still no news."

Wang Qi let out a breath, temporarily clearing his mind of all distractions.

With the bow drawn and arrow nocked, his movements became somewhat casual.

After he finished thinking about all these random things, he actually felt much more relaxed.

Bang! — Bang bang bang!

The first arrow goes first.

Three arrows followed.

Four arrows in a row—

Ok?

Become!

[Mastery of "References and Connections" increased by 0.2%!]

Current 'Conference' control level: 0.2%

Suddenly, two lines of characters appeared, making Wang Qi's eyes light up as he hadn't seen any changes for a long time.

"Like a parched land receiving timely rain, speak of Cao Cao and the rain will come just in time."

Wang Qi was talking nonsense.

This is a good start.

"Relax your body, don't tense up too much."

Wang Qi began to search for the feeling he had just experienced.

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!

[Mastery of "References and Connections" increased by 0.2%!]

OK!

I've got it.

[Mastery of "References and Connections" increased by 0.1%!]

Wang Qi became more and more adept at it.

Just as they were about to continue shooting arrows, Song Dahu's relative came running over in a panic.

"Young Master Wang, someone is looking for you outside."

Who is it?

Wang Qi asked a question.

The waiter leaned close to Wang Qi and whispered, "From Zeshan Hall."

"Zeshan Hall, what kind of place is that?"

Wang Qi was taken aback, feeling that he had heard the name before.

"The famous exorcism hall in the county town, and the three masters who came were Mr. Miao Ruoyu and Master Liang Feng, two of the Liang family's most renowned exorcists." The waiter spoke with great trepidation.

Because this was the first time he had ever seen such an important person.

He even mustered up the courage to speak to the two of them at close range.

I thought they would be a very serious pair.

Surprisingly, he was quite easy to talk to.

He looks much better than my uncle.

"Okay, I understand."

Wang Qi responded, his expression slightly complicated.

Before we've even secured any business, our competitors have already come knocking on our door?

As the saying goes, those in the same trade are often enemies.

This was even with two industry leaders in attendance.

"Hmm~ When soldiers come, we'll block them; when water comes, we'll dam it."

Wang Qi put away his bow and arrows and walked towards the front hall.

The two important figures were in a private room on the second floor, and Wang Qi walked straight up to them.

There were two guards at the gate.

The moment she saw Wang Qi approaching, her eyes were fixed on him.

Just as Wang Qi was about to push the door open and go in.

A bearded guard suddenly smiled and spoke in a friendly tone.

"Young man, be polite once you go inside."

"Both of them are renowned exorcists in the city, and are extremely valuable."

Wang Qi simply nodded without saying anything more.

Once you get started,

Wang Qi felt the complex gazes directed at him by the two elderly people.

Three parts doubt, three parts skepticism, three parts surprise, and many other complex elements.

There were also large and small bags piled up beside the two of them.

"Please have a seat, young friend."

Miao Ruoyu gestured for Wang Qi to proceed.

Wang Qi didn't stand on ceremony; he clasped his hands in greeting to the two men and then sat down.

"Young friend, do you know why we have come?"

Miao Ruoyu asked with a smile.

"I don't know."

Wang Qi shook his head.

"You were the one who removed the evil energy from Li Gangfeng and his brother, weren't you?"

Miao Ruoyu quickly added, "It wasn't those two who said it. It was our Zeshan Hall staff who checked who he'd been in contact with recently and then ruled you out one by one."

Liang Fengting chimed in, "I've performed exorcisms for that Li Gangfeng several times for free, but he just keeps pretending to be crazy and spouting nonsense in front of me."

"It seems that Young Master Wang's skill level is quite high!"

"It really is high!"

"Just one meeting was enough to dispel a significant portion of the evil energy. And it only caused Li Gangfeng some external injuries and a loss of some internal energy."

"Excellent tactic!"

Wang Qi never expected that this old man with the fiercest face would actually brag to him.

Their words and expressions were completely opposite.

"I just stumbled upon this by accident."

"Sigh~" Miao Ruoyu waved her hand, "In our line of work, there's no such thing as a lucky break. It's all about real skills."

"The reason I've come this time is twofold. First, I want to confirm whether it was you, young friend, who exorcised the evil spirit from Li Gangfeng."

"Secondly, I want to discuss and share with you the methods of exorcising evil spirits."

"What do you think, young friend?"

Miao Ruoyu looked at Wang Qi sincerely.

Wang Qi smiled and said, "I wonder how we should discuss this?"

Liang Feng, standing to the side, was getting a little impatient watching the two of them talking back and forth.

"Have you learned our Zeshan Hall's Hundred-Turn Yin Ghost Needle technique? If not, we can teach you for free. But you should also show us what you've learned and teach us."

"If your lineage is unwilling, then give up."

"But our Zeshan Hall is willing to invite you to be an exorcist here. Whether you want to make money or gain fame, it will be convenient for you."

Liang Feng revealed all his conditions in one go.

Miao Ruoyu, standing to the side, could only smile helplessly, "That's exactly right."

"OK!"

Wang Qi did not hesitate at all.

To be honest, my exorcism technique doesn't involve much skill.

It's nothing more than a matter of effort and dipping sauce; it's just a matter of a thin layer of paper.

Moreover, if there are other options, he wouldn't mind exchanging them.

After all, the exorcism market in the county town is huge. Wang Qi estimated that if the number of exorcists in the city were doubled, each exorcist could make a fortune.

Seeing how straightforward Wang Qi was.

Liang Feng slapped Miao Ruoyu on the back. "What did I tell you?"

"Young people these days don't like beating around the bush; they prefer to be direct."

"If you talk too much, it's easy for people to misunderstand."

"Yes, yes, yes." Miao Ruoyu could only nod. "You make a good point."

"I'm the junior, so I'll go first."

Wang Qi didn't hide anything anymore.

He went back inside and brought up the only black dog blood and mugwort he had left.

It was placed in front of the two elderly people.

The two also called in the bearded guard outside to act as a tool.

The latter skillfully took off his shirt and sat upright in the chair.

"Black dog's blood and mugwort?"

"The effect of this stuff is about the same as eating vegetarian food and chanting Buddhist prayers at home; it doesn't have much of an effect."

Liang Feng frowned slightly.

Seeing that Wang Qi had smeared black dog blood and mugwort on his fist, he found it even more absurd.

He felt that the kid in front of him might be playing a trick on him.

"What's the rush? Take a look first."

Miao Ruoyu spoke in a deep voice.

Wang Qi would smear his hands with black dog blood and then coat them with crushed mugwort.

After opening the eyes at the center of the forehead.

He immediately noticed the sinister aura emanating from the bearded guard.

There wasn't much dark energy in his chest.

Clearly, being a guard at an exorcism center comes with some pretty good perks.

only,

On the back of the guard's wrist was a patch resembling withered tree bark.

The area above was shrouded in dense black mist.

"This was before I joined the academy. I was badly injured back then, and started cultivating before I was fully healed. After encountering a bottleneck, evil energy gathered at the wound—delaying me for four or five years. It became a chronic condition."

"After Zeshan Hall joined, even the veteran craftsmen were at their wits' end."

The explanation of the bearded guard's origin.

"That's a good coincidence, this is the method I'm best at."

Wang Qi smiled slightly.

Just as he was about to make his move, he asked another question.

"What realm are you in now?"

"A second blood transfusion," the bearded guard answered truthfully.

"You should be able to handle it, just bear with it!"

Wang Qi had barely finished speaking.

He punched the wrist directly.

boom!

moment.

The table in front of them was shattered into pieces.

The bearded guard, who was already mentally prepared for the punch, had his face slightly distorted by it.

This boy has incredible strength!

and·.

This method of exorcising evil spirits is too violent.

just,

Wang Qi didn't give him a chance to recover.

Fists rained down like raindrops.

Perhaps due to his long years of archery practice, Wang Qi's punches were extremely precise, striking the same spot without the slightest deviation.

card!

Thin flakes, like limescale, peeled off the guard's wrist.

The three people present were all stunned and speechless upon seeing this scene.

"Evil spirits can be exorcised like this?"

Liang Feng was amazed.

I felt it was beyond my comprehension.

Miao Ruoyu, who had good composure, was the same.

"The same method is used to expel the evil energy that demons carry from their bodies, just as it was used to kill them."

Wang Qixian compiled the text.

Upon hearing this, Liang Feng and Miao Ruoyu suddenly understood.

You know what, it actually makes a lot of sense.

"Thank you so much, Master, for exorcising the evil spirits from me!"

The bearded guard immediately stood up, knelt on one knee before Wang Qi, and clasped his hands in a fist salute.

But when I clasp my hands in a fist, it hurts so much I grimace.

That boy's punch was too heavy!

"What do you two think?" Wang Qi asked, looking at Miao Ruoyu and Miao Ruoyu.

"wonderful!"

"burst!"

Miao Ruoyu and Liang Feng spoke almost in unison.

"It's just this black dog blood and mugwort."

"You can use Moon Dog Demon Blood and Fire Ash Grass Powder instead; that will be most effective."

Wang Qi added that the answer to the mystery would be revealed.

Although these were the only two things he used, he couldn't possibly explain to the two of them that these were his cheat codes.

"Isn't the Moon Dog Demon supposed to be evil and malevolent? How come its blood has such effects?"

Liang Feng and the other man looked at each other.

They had done some research on demons, and in their efforts to figure out how to exorcise evil spirits efficiently, they wasted countless materials and a great deal of silver.

Wang Qi explained with a smile, "Although the Moon Dog Demon walks in darkness and exists among the yin and evil, it is born as a yang being."

"It itself does not possess the ability to ward off evil spirits."

"But it can enhance the effect of exorcising evil spirits."

"It's mainly for improving this fire ash grass."

Wang Qi reproduced the knowledge he had gained from his past enlightenment verbatim.

"Oh~"

Upon hearing this, the two suddenly realized what was going on.

"In that case, the blood of the Moon Dog demon is extremely precious! Can it be used with other exorcising items?" Miao Ruoyu asked.

After careful consideration, Wang Qi said, "Not necessarily. Fire Ash Grass is a yang substance. It can suppress the yin energy in the blood of the Moon Dog Demon."

"If you want to use the blood of the Moon Dog demon to enhance the exorcism effect, then the main exorcism item should also be one with strong yang energy."

"Been taught a lesson!"

The two men stood up and bowed to Wang Qi.

"I wouldn't dare say that; we were just discussing things together."

Wang Qi was modest; he added his own understanding to the foundation of his insight.

This can be considered as applying what one has learned to other situations.

"Furthermore, it's important to note that this method requires a great deal of strength from the person using it."

"clear."

Miao Ruoyu and Liang Feng, at this moment, looked like students, their brows furrowed as they listened intently.

"Just the blood of a Moon Dog demon is enough to make us feel like we've struck gold."

"I've never heard of that fire ash grass before."

The two of them were laughing exceptionally brightly.

Wang Qi, standing to the side, sensed something.

Humans know too little about demons and wild herbs.

The fact that two big names in the exorcism world of Dushui County didn't know that the blood of the Moon Dog demon had such a use speaks volumes.

They are human—

There is indeed still a lot of room for improvement.

"Alright, now it's my turn to teach you the Hundred-Turn Ghost Needle Technique!"

Liang Feng also rolled up his sleeves.

He took out a packet of silver needles from his personal bag, which contained a full one hundred needles.

These silver needles are extremely thin; if they were to fall to the ground, an ordinary person would probably not even notice them.

Subsequently,

Liang Feng then took out a yellowed booklet and pushed it in front of Wang Qi.

"This Hundred-Turn Yin Ghost Needle is both an exorcism technique and a sophisticated offensive technique that Qi Masters can use."

"Once it's in operation, it can control hundreds of needles in one breath, with endless variations; and the needles are as thin as a hair, making them impossible to defend against!"

Upon hearing this, Wang Qi smiled.

This is exactly what he needs.

This can be described as killing two birds with one stone.

Now, having unleashed the power of the Blood Tiger and gained insights into the path of Qi Masters, he has activated the Dragon's Fury.

All that's missing is a suitable Qi Master technique.

This Hundred-Turning Ghost Needle technique really ran into trouble.

After Liang Feng finished speaking, he dismissed the guards.

He then taught Wang Qi a cultivation technique for the Hundred-Turn Yin Ghost Needle.

This meeting,

Both sides enjoyed themselves.

Finally,

Miao Ruoyu spoke up, "How about my previous suggestion? Come work as an exorcist at my Zeshan Hall."

"Come whenever you want, it's up to you."

"There must be limitations, right?"

Wang Qi inquired.

"Of course there is," Liang Feng explained before Miao Ruoyu could answer. "Thirty percent of the consultation fee goes to the exorcism association, twenty percent to the temple."

"By using the name of Zeshan Hall, all the patients we've helped have powerful connections."

"Even if something serious happens—we can always discuss it and make it a small matter, or even a minor one."

"What is an exorcism?"

Wang Qi asked again.

Liang Feng pursed his lips, seemingly a little unhappy about the topic of exorcism.

"A loosely organized gang of exorcists in Dushui County, formed to prevent imposters from swindling money and damaging the reputation of exorcists, and to protect the interests of exorcists."

"Of course, this exorcism will be conducted in the same way as most government offices and decrees."

"Their initial intentions were all good, but the results were all bad."

"Say less," Miao Ruoyu reminded him.

"What's there to be afraid of? We'll have to go in sooner or later anyway."

Liang Feng disagreed, "If you want to exorcise evil spirits in the city, you have to pass an exorcism exam to get an exorcism rank."

"If you are not registered with the exorcism association, then you are performing an illegal exorcism."

"At best, you'll be fined until you're bankrupt; at worst, you'll lose your life!"

"And also—..."

Liang Feng paused for a moment, then said, "A first-grade exorcist can only exorcise first-grade evil spirits."

"If you drive away too many animals, you'll be fined."

"what?"

Wang Qi was taken aback; he could understand the illegal exorcism mentioned earlier.

What does it mean that a first-rank exorcist can only exorcise evil spirits of the first rank?

"Please tell me in detail, Mr. Liang."

"It's like I have three wisps of evil energy in my hands," Liang Feng began gesturing. "I can remove all three wisps within a day."

"But I'm just a first-rank exorcist, so I can only exorcise one group today. Even if I had the ability, I couldn't."

Wang Qi was confused.

"What kind of logic is this?"

"You don't understand, do you?" Liang Feng chuckled, his laughter full of sarcasm.

"Initially, there were too many people with strong evil spirits. Exorcists, caught between various emotions, always thought they should grit their teeth and do more. As a result, many exorcists were lost."

"The exorcism association was afraid that exorcists would die from overwork, so they added this rule."

"It was originally a good thing."

"But now it has become a shield for some exorcists to use as a long-term scheme to make money."

"But some exorcists have connections everywhere, and no one can do anything about them."

Wang Qi understood.

He remembered what Li Afu had said: to exorcise one-tenth of the evil spirits, one would need twenty courses of treatment.

Previously, I didn't understand why, and I thought it was because the exorcists in the county town were too incompetent.

but now,

He understood what was going on.

In some people's eyes, this is not a matter of human life at all.

It's all about business!

"Damn it."

Wang Qi couldn't help but curse angrily.

"That's just how the world is," Miao Ruoyu said gently. "The shady dealings in every trade are countless."

"Don't take it to heart, just go with the flow and do our best."

"Hmph, one day, those bastards will reap what they sow."

Liang Feng cursed, "The children they gave birth to are all blind! Not a single eye!"

boom!

A sudden commotion arose outside the room.

Abruptly,

Among them came the name Wang Qi.

"Whose name is Wang Qi!"

"Whose name is Wang Qi!"

"This person is suspected of illegally performing exorcisms, violating the association's rules!"
