This is the true immortal of the Taoist sect.

Qingfeng explained as soon as he finished speaking:

"However, when the head constable heard these rumors, he immediately rebuked them, saying that the county town was an important place where the presence of human and official power suppressed evil spirits and ghosts would never dare to approach. It seemed that the cause of the night watchman's death was something else."

Li Daoxuan seemed to be deep in thought after listening.

He immediately recalled the vengeful ghost he had encountered in the dilapidated temple outside the city when he first transmigrated.

If he hadn't used the Golden Light Divine Spell, he probably would have died in the mouth of the vengeful ghost long ago.

When Qingfeng returned just now, he clearly carried a trace of yin energy, and this trace of yin energy seemed to be very similar to the yin energy on the vengeful ghost he encountered in the dilapidated temple outside the city that day.

Li Daoxuan couldn't help but recall that when he entered a meditative state last night, he seemed to have sensed a slightly unsettling aura.

"Could it be... that vengeful ghost has entered the city?"

Li Daoxuan pondered to himself.

Seeing that Qingfeng was still standing, Li Daoxuan raised his hand, and a yellow talisman appeared in his palm.

"Qingfeng, fold this amulet up and keep it close to your body. Don't go out after nightfall."

Qingfeng's expression hardened, and he solemnly accepted the yellow talisman.

Li Daoxuan returned to his room, sat at his desk, closed his eyes, and calmed his mind.

He was intently flipping through the book "Complete Collection of Talismans" that the system had rewarded him with.

A moment later, Li Daoxuan opened his eyes, his expression somewhat solemn.

He wanted to draw a talisman, a divine talisman.

It is called the Heavenly Soldier Possession Talisman.

The purpose of this talisman is to invite a deity to possess one's body, granting one the power of a celestial soldier for a short period of time.

Of course, the so-called heavenly soldiers are an exaggeration. The worst heavenly soldiers are equivalent to the Earth Immortal realm, which, according to the strength of cultivators, is roughly equivalent to the Core Formation realm.

In the Taoist mythological system, heavenly soldiers are divided into two types: one type consists of soldiers who fought bravely and died in life, and who were posthumously conferred titles by the human emperor or a Taoist immortal, thus becoming heavenly soldiers.

Another type is that after a person cultivates to become an Earth Immortal, they can hardly make any further progress. Moreover, they possess merits and virtues. After death, they can be liberated from their physical bodies and ascend to the ranks of immortals, becoming the lowest-ranking celestial soldier.

Even the lowest-ranking celestial soldier would be a great figure in the mortal world.

In the eyes of the heavenly soldiers, a mere vengeful ghost was no different from an ant.

The Heavenly Soldier Possession Talisman only borrows a portion of the Heavenly Soldier's power.

With the power borrowed from the Heavenly Soldier Possession Talisman formed from Li Daoxuan's current forty strands of magical power, he can probably unleash the power of a hundred strands of magical power.

But this was not Li Daoxuan's ultimate goal. The real purpose of Li Daoxuan drawing this talisman was that after borrowing the power of the heavenly soldiers, his body would be blessed by the power of the heavenly soldiers, thereby gaining the ability to move freely.

Li Daoxuan was basically certain that the night watchman's family must have perished at the hands of a vengeful ghost.

However, Li Daoxuan did not know why the vengeful ghost was able to enter the town, which was suppressed by both human and official power.

As the saying goes, people are afraid of ghosts, but ghosts are just as afraid of people.

In this world, the existence of ghosts is no secret.

The government and court in this world possess an official aura capable of suppressing evil spirits, or rather, the fate of the dynasty.

Even fierce ghosts wouldn't dare to trespass before such power.

This is very strange, and Li Daoxuan plans to investigate it.

Since he was in a wheelchair, he couldn't investigate, so Li Daoxuan decided to draw this talisman.

However, the Heavenly Soldier Possession Talisman is already considered a high-level talisman, and it would not be easy for him to draw it with his current cultivation level and talisman skills.

But it's okay, we have a cheat code.

Li Daoxuan repeatedly sketched the image in his mind until he was completely familiar with it, then he picked up his brush and dipped it in cinnabar.

The Mind Communication System said in a deep voice:

"System, use 200 merit points to improve my talisman cultivation."

Upon further thought, Li Daoxuan immediately changed his words:

"Wait a minute, use all 200 merit points to improve my skill in drawing celestial soldier possession talismans..."

Without a word, the system instantly dispelled the 200 merit points.

In an instant, countless insights flooded into Li Daoxuan's mind, all of which were related to the Heavenly Soldier Possession Talisman.

This indoctrination was extremely magical, as if it were memories that originally belonged to Li Daoxuan himself, which were then dug out from the depths of his memory by the system.

Li Daoxuan mastered it very naturally.

It was as if he had drawn the Heavenly Soldiers Talisman a thousand times.

After digesting these experiences, Li Daoxuan put pen to paper without the slightest hesitation. His magical power surged, and more than forty strands of magical power flowed through the brush in his hand and landed on the yellow paper.

The entire talisman was completed in one go, without the slightest hesitation.

But the moment the last stroke was completed, Li Daoxuan suddenly lost all his strength and almost instantly collapsed into his wheelchair.

His face was deathly pale, and his dantian was completely empty, devoid of any magical power.

Such high-level talismans consume far too much mana.

Li Daoxuan even felt that his energy and spirit were being completely drained.

It felt similar to when I forcibly used the Golden Light Mantra last time.

It could even be more serious.

However, Li Daoxuan's body is now nourished by magical power and is not so fragile, so he can barely hold on and not faint.

"Gentle breeze..."

Li Daoxuan called out weakly towards the outside.

A moment later, Qingfeng pushed open the door and walked in. He was shocked to see Li Daoxuan slumped in a wheelchair and quickly went to help him up.

"Sir, what's wrong?"

Li Daoxuan shook his head.

"It's nothing, I'm just exhausted. Go... bring me my medicine..."

Upon hearing this, Qingfeng ran out like the wind, and when he returned, he had a bowl of thick medicinal soup in his hand.

Then, supporting Li Daoxuan's body, she carefully fed him the drink.

After drinking the medicinal soup, Li Daoxuan closed his eyes and sat in his wheelchair to slowly regulate his breathing.

Not daring to disturb her, Qingfeng quietly left the room.

When Li Daoxuan opened his eyes again, the sky outside the window had completely darkened, leaving only darkness inside the room.

With the help of the medicinal soup, his magical power was finally mostly restored.

Li Daoxuan let out a long sigh of relief, his gaze falling on the extraordinary Heavenly Soldier Talisman on the table, still feeling lingering fear.

"You were still too stubborn..."

Li Daoxuan initially estimated that to successfully draw the Heavenly Soldier Talisman without any backlash, he would probably need at least a thousand strands of magical power.

The Heavenly Soldier Talisman before us can probably only be considered a half-finished product.

Its power is probably less than one-tenth of that.

But that doesn't matter, as long as his goal is achieved, that's enough.

Judging from the effect of this talisman, it should give him at least ten minutes of normal time.

If he could pinpoint the location of the vengeful ghost, Li Daoxuan felt that with the talismans he had for exorcising evil, suppressing malevolent spirits, and applying the Five Thunderbolts, ten minutes should be enough to destroy it.

After storing the Heavenly Soldier Talisman in his system space, Li Daoxuan opened the door and went into the courtyard.

It's still cloudy today, and the moon is not visible.

As night fell, Anyi City was enveloped in a chilly atmosphere that seemed out of place for the season.

Li Daoxuan calmed his mind, closed his eyes, and slowly entered a state of tranquility.

The state of tranquility achieved through Taoist spiritual cultivation is an extremely profound and mysterious state.

In this state, the primordial spirit becomes very active, thereby suppressing the heart meridian and the consciousness.

By using the method of returning the light to the center to enter a state of extreme stillness, all the sounds around you become crystal clear. Even the footsteps of an ant can be heard as loud as thunder, but they cannot shake the mind of the meditator in the slightest.

At this moment, Li Daoxuan's mind was like a vast net spread out, and no sound within a radius of several miles could escape his perception.

This state continued until late at night, and no abnormalities were noticed.

Just as the time between midnight and early morning approached, an unusual sound traveled on the wind and reached Li Daoxuan's ears.

A sinister aura flashed by.

Li Daoxuan instantly broke out of his meditative state, abruptly opened his eyes, and looked towards the east of the city.

With his right hand outstretched, the Heavenly Soldier Talisman was already held between his fingertips.

"There really was a ghost..."

"Celestial soldiers of the Celestial Court, heed my command! So be it!"
