Immortality and cultivation: Heaven rewards diligence, and success is inevitable.

As the heart fragments burned, the other scattered pieces of flesh on the ground also began to burn.

"Just as I thought!" Jiang Shi thought to himself. Even something like a demon wolf has a core.

Once the core is destroyed, the demon wolf can be killed.

However, this was only because his second-grade low-level spirit talisman trapped the demon wolf, which gave everyone the opportunity to cooperate and kill it.

If it's a person, unless their attack methods are extremely powerful, even if they know the core, it will be difficult to find it.

Once one of the demon wolves is dealt with, the remaining two are just a matter of time.

That evening, after dealing with the demonic wolves, the group, led by Liu Yue, returned to the Liu family home.

"Thanks to Master Li's help, otherwise I'm afraid I wouldn't have been able to save my independent cultivator market."

Liu Yue sincerely thanked Jiang Shi.

"Now that I've joined the Liu family, the Liu family's affairs are my affairs. There's no need to be polite," Jiang Shi replied.

Of course, this was just a polite remark. If the demon puppet that came today were a Foundation Establishment stage cultivator, he would definitely have run much faster than the others.

"I have already instructed my servants to prepare the spirit wine and dishes. Master Li, and everyone from the Qingyun Sect, let's have a drink together to celebrate."

Most of the core members of the Liu family have retreated to the nearby mountains.

However, there were some who stayed behind and were able to serve the people.

Jiang Shi and Lu Wenming readily accepted and went inside together.

Lin Yanyi dislikes sitting at the same table with others, so she asked Liu Yue to arrange a room and has already gone back to her room to rest.

At the dinner table, the group toasted each other and chatted happily.

"Young Master Lu, I have long admired the Lu family of Qingyun Sect. Meeting you today, I can see that their reputation is well-deserved." Jiang Shi, putting on the airs of a senior, raised his glass to Lu Wenming in a toast.

"The prodigy of the Lu family, at such a young age, is already able to fight against the demonic threat. He is truly a young hero, and the younger generation is indeed formidable." Liu Yue was also an old fox.

He and Jiang Shi worked together to praise Lu Wenming to the skies.

"Haha, you flatter me, you flatter me." Lu Wenming laughed from ear to ear, and downed the wine in his glass in one gulp.

He looked very confident and spirited.

After showering him with compliments, Liu Yue, seeing that the time was right, asked:

"Young Master Lu, how much do you know about that demonic wolf from today? Could you please explain it to us?"

The dangers of demonic paths are extremely perilous.

Today, this market town of independent cultivators was almost destroyed.

Since Qingyun Sect was the place where the demonic troubles first began, Liu Yue took the opportunity to ask Lu Wenming about it.

"Brother Liu, it's not that I don't want to tell you, it's just that I don't know much about this either."

"I only know that this demonic wolf is a kind of demonic puppet, but I don't know what kind of demonic puppet it is."

Lu Wenming was a marginal member of the Lu family, so he naturally wouldn't know anything about a big secret like the Demon Puppet.

Upon hearing this, Liu Yue and Jiang Shi both secretly memorized the words "Demon Puppet" and planned to investigate it if given the chance.

Prepare for the future early, because evil is like cockroaches; once you find one, a whole nest will follow.

The situation will definitely get worse in the future.

Jiang Shi thought to himself that if things went wrong, he should retreat as soon as possible and get away from this Canglin area.

He has now broken through to the seventh level of Qi Refining and become a late-stage Qi Refining cultivator.

It's time to prepare and find a chance to get away from here.

The threat of demonic forces is a calamity that even Foundation Establishment cultivators cannot guarantee their safety; those of us in the Qi Refining stage are likely facing an uncertain fate.

Liu Yue had the same thought in mind, but he couldn't make a decision. If he gave up this market for rogue cultivators, the Liu family would be finished.

Thinking of this, Liu Yue looked at Jiang Shi. In his eyes, Jiang Shi, as a master of talisman making, might be the key figure for his Liu family to secure their future.

"We need to win over this Master Li!"

Liu Yue became increasingly polite to Jiang Shi.

The group chatted happily at the table, and after a few rounds of drinks, Lu Wenming left first.

When Jiang Shi was left alone, Liu Yue took out a bag of spirit stones and handed it to him.

"Fellow Daoist Liu, what is the meaning of this?" Jiang Shi feigned confusion.

"Master Li used eight spirit talismans today, and this bag of spirit stones is to compensate Master Li for his losses," Liu Yue said.

"You're too kind, Fellow Daoist Liu." Although Jiang Shi said politely, he directly took the spirit stone bag from him.

Jiang Shi had no intention of refusing; he was just being polite.

No one ever thinks they have too many spirit stones.

"From now on, my Liu family will charge 10% more than the market price for all first-grade talismans made by Master Li, and 20% more than the market price for second-grade talismans." Liu Yue knew the importance of talisman-making masters.

Spending a little spirit stone to win people's hearts is a small matter.

After Jiang Shi thanked him, the two parted ways, and he returned to his room.

Liu Yue gestured with his eyes, and the maid Liu Yujing followed him away.

After the two walked a distance, Liu Yue asked:

"Yujing, what do you think of Master Li?"

"Reporting to Your Excellency, Master Li spends his days in ascetic practice, and it is rare to see him on ordinary days. He is a very ascetic," Liu Yujing replied.

"What do you think if I arranged for Yuyao to marry him?"

"ah……."

Liu Yue's words left Liu Yujing speechless.

She didn't know how to start the conversation. In her eyes, Master Li was an old man over fifty, and he was completely unsuitable for a young woman in her prime.

Master Li looked much older than Liu Yue.

But in Liu Yue's eyes, age is not a problem.

On the surface, Master Li, who is at the ninth level of Qi Refining, can live for a full four hundred years after taking the Longevity Pill.

Even if there is a gap of several decades between him and his daughter, it is not a problem at all.

His daughter was in the early stage of Qi Refining, with only the cultivation of four spiritual roots.

They certainly won't live as long as Master Li.

"Test his reaction to women," Liu Yue ordered. As long as Jiang Shi wasn't attracted to men, he would push his daughter towards him.

A master talisman maker is someone all the sects and families in Canglin should try to win over.

Jiang Shi was sitting in the room, examining himself.

I was in a hurry to leave before, and I didn't have time to carefully check the changes inside my body.

Golden Spirit Technique: Perfection

Wood Spirit Technique: Perfection

Water Spirit Technique: Perfection

Fire Spirit Technique: Perfection

Earth Spirit Technique: Perfection】

[By fusing the five skills, one obtains the Xuan-level superior-grade cultivation technique, "Five Spirits Technique"]

【Five Elements Technique: Beginner (0/500)】

The five spiritual techniques were all perfected, rotating and merging within his body to form a new cultivation method.

This technique requires the simultaneous cultivation of the five elements (metal, wood, water, fire, and earth). When it is perfected, it will be the time for him to break through to the Foundation Establishment stage.

Jiang Shi sat cross-legged on the bed and began his cultivation.

But the effect was minimal; it took three hours to gain even a little proficiency.

Jiang Shi opened his eyes and realized that cultivation still depends on resources. If he only cultivated hard, he would probably find it difficult to break through to the Foundation Establishment stage even if he cultivated until he died.

Jiang Shi simply stopped practicing the Five Elements Technique.

He began to shift his focus to cultivating the "Hundred Illusions and Thousand Faces Technique" and practicing talisman making.

Now we face both demonic threats in front and forestry officials behind.

Both pose a great threat, so we should prepare to flee this place.

There are many monsters in the wild and forests. If a Qi Refining stage cultivator wants to go out, he needs to plan carefully.
