Shulong Daojun

"Brother Lu, don't overthink it."

Lin Shu leaned closer, gently patted Lu Youzhi's shoulder, and said in a deep voice, "Listen and remember it, practice until you are proficient, and in time you will make it your own."

How can one learn this method of sorting out the earth's veins from just one brief explanation?

You need to experience it firsthand to understand the key points. Let's begin.

After saying that, he turned his gaze to Mu Qiushui, Bei Chen, and the others, and continued, "You are the same."

No one dared to be negligent, and they cupped their hands and said in unison, "Yes, Master."

Afterwards, they looked around and weighed their options, then went to the smaller fractured veins and, following the teachings they had memorized, examined the entire area and removed the silt.

Seeing this, Lin Shu nodded and smiled, observing as he walked, and explained:

"In fractured ley lines, there are often mixed turbid and evil energies such as malevolent energy and death energy, as well as five turbid substances such as killing turbidity and blood turbidity, which give rise to all kinds of strange and evil spirits."

Fellow disciples, you may wish to practice more here, so as to accumulate some experience and make it easier to manage the ley lines on your own in the future.

After speaking, he paused for a moment, his tone becoming even gentler:

"No need to hold back, go all out. I will protect you all."

After a moment's thought, Bei Chen and the others felt that there was some truth to this statement. They also remembered Lu You's words that "there are plenty of pills," and their hands immediately began to move with great force.

With a wave of his hand, he unleashed his magical power, and the demonic lair, along with the turbid essences and evil spirits with six or seven hundred years of cultivation, perished instantly. Their large and small remains fell like rain.

This delighted Zhuyin, who had been lurking beneath the abyss.

After descending to the mouth of the abyss, it followed the instructions of the Scale Book, left from its sleeve, and fell into the depths, transforming into the turbid flow of the earth's veins.

It then grew a gigantic mouth and lay dormant, waiting patiently.

That's what I'm doing right now.

With a slight sense, it shifted slightly to the left, and the remains of a demon with hundreds of years of cultivation entered its mouth and fell directly into its stomach, very smoothly.

Before it could be refined, it moved a few more inches to the right and found another evil lair.

With a sudden bite, the juicy juice bursts out, leaving a lingering fragrance in your mouth—it's incredibly delicious.

Having tasted the sweetness, Zhuyin was overjoyed, and his greed grew even stronger.

It accepted everything without discrimination, swallowing the fallen remains with its enormous maw. But soon it seemed to realize something and began to specifically target and devour the corpses of demons and monsters with pure qi.

Only when the contents piled up to the brim, blocking his mouth, did he reluctantly retreat to the side and begin refining it rapidly.

In the blink of an eye, his cultivation level increased dramatically, his thirty-year cultivation suddenly increased to a hundred years, and his fierce aura became even stronger.

At the same time, Lin Shu also stopped walking, his expression changed, and it took him half a breath to stabilize his own energy.

The reason was that the feedback brought about by Zhuyin's improvement in cultivation was too rapid, catching him somewhat off guard.

However, this is good enough.

A thousand years is but ten centuries. Now that one has been achieved, how far away can ten be?

The matter of establishing three hundred merits should also be put on the agenda and planned.

Just as I was pondering this, a soft voice suddenly entered my ears:

"Master...Master, but where did I go wrong?"

But when Mu Qiushui saw Lin Shu suddenly stop beside her and remain silent for a long time, she became increasingly nervous and couldn't help but ask.

Lin Shu snapped out of her reverie upon hearing the sound, glanced at it, and after a moment's perception, said softly, "Junior Sister, this place is too big."

Such a massive ley line is inherently prone to breeding fierce and malevolent spirits.

Not to mention that the Daoist techniques and cultivation methods of the Tai Su lineage are not adept at offensive combat, clearing away the stagnation here would likely be quite difficult.

After saying that, his gaze fixed on one spot.

Then, with a casual gesture, a divine light crashed down, instantly obliterating a snake-like demon whose cultivation was comparable to that of a mortal immortal, thus clearing a peaceful area.

Mu Qiushui immediately lowered her head, like a student who knew she had made a mistake, and whispered, "I understand, teacher."

It was Qiu Shui's fault for not considering this point; it won't happen again.

Lin Shu nodded and said no more.

Sensing that Zhuyin was still being refined based on the qi, and estimating that Lu Youzhi and the others had been eliminating the evil spirits for some time and should have become somewhat familiar with the key points, he said:

"My fellow disciples, you've worked hard. Please take a break for a while."

If you encounter any problems during this process, feel free to ask me. I will answer all your questions to the best of my ability.

At this point, as if remembering something, she casually interjected, "Or perhaps we could consult Brother Beichen."

He is also a local deity, possessing both knowledge and practical experience in the methods of manipulating the earth's veins.

Lu Youzhi and the others were immediately somewhat surprised.

I never expected that this disciple of the Miscellaneous School of Dharma beside me would have such a background.

However, judging from the skillful way he cleared the stagnant earth veins just now, it was not fake; he was someone worth befriending.

Without further hesitation, he smiled and cupped his hands in greeting, saying, "Greetings, Brother Beichen."

Bei Chen returned the greeting with a cupped hand, saying neither humbly nor arrogantly, "Greetings, fellow Daoists."

He then turned to Lin Shu and bowed again.

His cultivation was already slightly inferior, and he was lucky that he was not looked down upon by Lu Youzhi and others, let alone treated with special regard.

Brother Lin, alas.

After the ceremony, he hesitated for a moment, wanting to say something but then stopping himself.

Lin Shu smiled, looked at everyone, and continued, "After you junior brothers have rested, we will proceed to the next stage of cultivation."

Everyone's expressions relaxed, and they cupped their hands in greeting, saying, "We will obey our master's orders."

Immediately, their expressions relaxed, and they began to talk about how they had cleared away the stagnation and their experiences in cultivation, which made them feel even closer to each other.

Suddenly, someone brought up the matter of elixirs, and everyone's expressions changed abruptly.

Without realizing it, he kept glancing at Lu Youzhi, his mouth constantly mentioning him, his eyes burning with eager anticipation.

How could Lu You not understand this meaning?

He gave a wry smile to himself, but did not refuse. He took out a simple pill bottle and said:

"We are all disciples of the Taoist sect, so there's no need to be so polite with me."

Having said that, he took out the pills and generously distributed them to everyone.

Everyone hurriedly stuffed the pills into their pockets, beaming with gratitude.

Lu Youzhi waved his hand, exchanged a few polite words, and then remembered something, a question suddenly arose in his mind: Strange, where is my junior sister?

He quickly turned his head and looked around.

Before long, they saw Mu Qiushui chatting and laughing with Lin Shu not far away.

Suddenly, a strange tightness gripped my heart.

In a flash, he was already in front of the two.

"Master, what are you and your junior sister talking about? Why are you so happy?" Lu Youzhi asked, puzzled.

Lin Shu spoke frankly: "I just asked Junior Sister Mu some questions about wood-element pills."

By the way, now that your training is finished, Brother Lu, would you like to come and stay in my Qingwu City for a few days?

Without a second thought, Lu You sighed and said apologetically, "I'm afraid I'll have to disappoint my teacher's good intentions."

I have been with my junior sister since childhood, and she sees me as her older brother.

My junior sister is sentimental and rarely leaves the sect; this time is a special case.

She will return home after completing her spiritual practice, and I will go with her.

Lin Shu nodded in understanding and said nothing more.

Mu Qiushui frowned, her heart filled with hesitation: This was the second time her master had invited her, should she go or not?

My master said that the wood element energy in his body has its own source. I'm so curious!
