Chapter 152

Millennium Old Demon, deeply versed in the past events of the Three-Corpse Daoist, and insightful into the secrets of the Wu Wei Gate.

Even strange objects like 【Wan Zhenxiang】 were known to him inside and out.

Zhang Fan became increasingly suspicious of this person's identity. He always felt that this 【Millennium Old Demon】 seemed to be by his side. Otherwise, he had just failed to break through the 【Gao Gong】 rank with the help of 【True-Descending Incense】, and he updated such a post, which was too coincidental.

"Millennium Old Demon..."

Zhang Fan's eyes narrowed slightly, staring at the gray avatar on the screen, lost in thought.

At the end of the article, Zhang Fan saw the conclusion written:

"The three corpses are the great scourge of heaven and earth, the great tribulation of immortals. They have existed since ancient times, and life and death are immortal..."

"Heaven and earth have their own times for fullness and emptiness. Only by examining the news can one know the opportunity. Since the Geng-Jia-Shen clear order, killing all three corpses is a promising path."

"Killing all three corpses is a promising path... Killing all three corpses is a promising path..."

Zhang Fan muttered softly, chewing on this Daoist secret language.

"Come to my office."

Just then, a thick, broad hand landed on Zhang Fan's shoulder, pulling his thoughts back to reality.

Zhang Fan turned his head to look, only to see Bai Buran had already turned and walked into his office. He was slightly stunned, then stood up and followed him in.

"There's a batch of goods, you go deliver it."

As he spoke, Bai Buran took a delivery note out of the drawer and handed it to Zhang Fan.

"Jiangnan Province Dao Alliance? They ordered three thousand sheets of talisman paper!?" Zhang Fan whispered in a deep voice.

Talismans are one of the most common means for Daoist priests. In actual combat, they can save true yang and physical strength, and the methods are even more varied, so they count as the most popular consumables.

Just like Jiang Hu, he usually hides at least dozens of talismans on his body, and there are five or six types.

Ever since the Shen family finished, the business of talismans in Yujing City had been divided up by various families. Night-Not-Bright naturally got a piece of the pie, especially the business with the Dao Alliance, which wasn't something everyone could get.

"What are they doing with this?" Zhang Fan couldn't help but ask.

Three thousand sheets of talisman paper—if they were all refined into attack-type talismans, that kind of firepower would be enough to make any demons and ghosts shiver.

The Jiangnan Province Dao Alliance headquarters is located in Yujing City. There aren't many opportunities for them to truly take action. Although field personnel are equipped with a certain number of talismans, it still seemed a bit abnormal to suddenly receive such a large order.

"The Dao Alliance has relevant budgets in this regard every year. As for how they spend it, how much they spend, and how they report the accounts in the end..." Bai Buran said.

Halfway through his words, he suddenly stopped.

"Why am I telling you this?" Bai Buran rubbed his chin and said lightly: "The world is not peaceful recently. In order to maintain public order, protect people's lives and safety from infringement, and subdue demons and monsters, it is natural to prepare more talismans..."

As he spoke, Bai Buran tapped the table: "Just deliver the goods. Do more work, talk less."

"I understand."

Zhang Fan nodded, picked up the delivery note, and walked out of the office.

Three thousand sheets of talisman paper, five large boxes... Old Yu and Jiang Hu had already loaded them onto the car for him.

Zhang Fan drove the Five-Spirit Rainbow Light straight to the Jiangnan Province Dao Alliance. Nowadays, he had almost become a liaison between Night-Not-Bright and the Jiangnan Province Dao Alliance, mainly responsible for this business, and had become an external staff member of the Jiangnan Province Dao Alliance.

Arriving at the place, Zhang Fan was familiar with the road, unloaded the boxes containing the talisman paper, and moved them into the courtyard.

These talisman papers still needed to be simply processed, and then the Daoist priests of the Dao Alliance would draw talismans and refine them according to their needs before they could be used normally.

Three thousand sheets of talisman paper—this was just the Jiangnan Province Dao Alliance making a purchase. If it were a family like the Xiong family or the Wang family, they would definitely have to undergo review and obtain relevant approvals.

After all, this belongs to controlled magic tools.

"Zhang Fan, you're here again."

Just after handing over, Sui Chunsheng walked over and greeted him.

"Who told you that your Dao Alliance is a big client!?" Zhang Fan said softly.

Hearing Wen He say that ever since returning from Gusu City, the Jiangnan Province Dao Alliance had given Night-Not-Bright many orders, and three thousand sheets of talisman paper were just the tip of the iceberg.

Nowadays, Night-Not-Bright's business, the Jiangnan Province Dao Alliance accounts for 40%, which can be called a true provider of food and clothing.

"If you ask me, you should just come to our Dao Alliance. After all, it's within the system, an iron rice bowl, eating imperial grain..."

Sui Chunsheng whispered: "Do you know how many people in Dongshan Province take the exam every year? They sharpen their heads to drill in."

"Dongshan Province taking the exam for Jiangnan Province?" Zhang Fan asked strangely.

"Their own province's quota is not enough. Too many people are taking the exam, so they can only be diverted to other provinces." Sui Chunsheng whispered.

The obsession of people in Dongshan Province with the system is simply unimaginable.

"Forget it, your threshold is too high." Zhang Fan shook his head.

Is the Jiangnan Province Dao Alliance that easy to enter? There are requirements for academic qualifications, background, personal cultivation, etc., and the most critical thing is that you must take an exam to enter.

"You don't have to worry about the exam. You are a disciple of Zhenwu Mountain and have assisted our Dao Alliance before. We can get you a quota for the introduction of special talents, exempt from the exam, as long as you pass the political review." Sui Chunsheng lowered his voice.

"Pass the political review..." Zhang Fan curled his lips, stopping mid-sentence.

He should be the one least likely to pass in this regard.

Dad is the Great Lingzong Wang, Mom is the previous generation's Human Portrait. God, think about this relationship. That he could survive without being locked up is already the ancestral grave smoking green smoke.

"Don't believe it. Ma Buting came in through this path back then." Sui Chunsheng whispered.

"Ma Buting... By the way, how is his promotion to Gao Gong?" Zhang Fan changed the subject and asked.

"He succeeded." Sui Chunsheng's expression became a bit strange.

"It's just that..."

"It's just what?"

"His reputation hasn't been very good recently."

Sui Chunsheng looked left and right. Seeing that there was no one around, he leaned over to Zhang Fan's side and whispered a few words.

The Bai He descended to the world and suddenly encountered a demonic tribulation. Some people said this was a punishment from heaven, not allowing Gao Gong to receive the Bai He.

Outside, it was said privately that this descendant of the Three Emperors Sect didn't know what kind of shameful things he had done in secret, harming heaven and reason, provoking the wrath of the Heavenly Lord, which is why there was this warning.

"Now there are people behind his back calling him the little demon hidden in the Daoist team."

"This... is a bit too much." Zhang Fan curled his lips and said.

Killing someone is just a point on the head; punishing the heart is splashing dirt. Ma Buting is also a famous sect, having contributed to the organization. Putting such a demon hat on him behind his back is a bit too much.

"Don't worry about him. He is now at the 【Gao Gong】 rank, and his title and treatment are different." Sui Chunsheng sighed.

Gao Gong, no matter where it is, is a true great master, the backbone of various sects.

Such an existence, in the Dao Alliance, can be said to have a bright future. It's not impossible that the position of the Jiangnan Province Dao Alliance president might fall into his hands in the future.

"That's true." Zhang Fan nodded.

"By the way, I might have to ask you for a hand in a couple of days."

Just then, Sui Chunsheng changed the subject and said suddenly.

"A hand? It won't be like that thing at the old house last time, right!?" Zhang Fan said with a strange expression.

"Do you know why our Dao Alliance suddenly ordered so many talisman papers?"

"Why?" Zhang Fan asked subconsciously.

"There's going to be a big move soon." Sui Chunsheng pulled Zhang Fan to the side and whispered.

"A big move?"

Zhang Fan's heart tightened, and he became alert. They wouldn't be coming to arrest him, would they!?

"Someone came from above two days ago..."

Sui Chunsheng was naturally referring to He Ningyan. Her coming to Yujing City this time to protect Ma Buting was just a side trip; she came with a mission.

"Investigating the whereabouts of a treasure?" Zhang Fan listened to Sui Chunsheng's description and became curious.

"What treasure?"

"I'm not too sure about that. It was originally being transported to Shangjing, but it was robbed in Dongshan Province..." Sui Chunsheng said in a deep voice: "The higher-ups were greatly shocked. I heard that more than a dozen investigation teams were sent down, scattered to provinces and cities near Dongshan Province..."

Jiangnan Province is close to Dongshan Province, so naturally, they checked Yujing City.

"Such a big battle!?" Zhang Fan thought to himself.

"When there are clues, maybe you will have to act as manpower." Sui Chunsheng whispered in a deep voice.

He knew Zhang Fan's strength. If the Jiangnan Province Dao Alliance didn't have enough manpower, he naturally wouldn't let go of such a powerful external aid.

If something could really be achieved by then, it would be a merit. That's why he was willing to reveal some internal information and say hello in advance.

"I know, no problem." Zhang Fan nodded. He had always been good at this kind of soy-sauce-buying and muddy-water-fishing.

"By the way, does your Jiangnan Province Dao Alliance have any database, library, or something like that?"

Zhang Fan changed the subject and suddenly asked.

After all, the Jiangnan Province Dao Alliance is in charge of all affairs of the Jiangnan Province Dao Alliance. Perhaps there are clues to 【Wan Zhenxiang】, or he could find a way to solve his inability to break through to Gao Gong here.

"Of course, but it's only open to the inside." Sui Chunsheng whispered.

"Is that so..." Zhang Fan showed disappointment.

"You are not an outsider either. I can take you in." Sui Chunsheng took out a card and showed a smile.

The library of the Jiangnan Province Dao Alliance does indeed hide some Daoist secret books, ancient classics... It also often organizes Daoist families and hidden practitioners of various sects in Yujing City to study and communicate.

As for those secret files and materials, naturally, they would not be easily opened to the public.

"Then thank you very much." Zhang Fan smiled and followed Sui Chunsheng into the small building.

At this time, on the third floor, in an office.

A pair of beautiful eyes watched everything in the courtyard. Seeing Zhang Fan follow Sui Chunsheng into the building, He Ningyan slowly withdrew her gaze.

"He is Zhang Fan!?"

"Not bad!" Ma Buting leaned on the chair, his eyes slightly closed, calm and composed.

After a few days of effort, he had adjusted his body and mind, having already forgotten about the Bai He encountering the tribulation, and his state had returned to its best.

Now, he was already at the 【Gao Gong】 rank, and his strength was not what it used to be.

"He looks ordinary, nothing special." He Ningyan said lightly.

"However, being able to refine Daoist True Fire and break your 【Three Yin Slaughtering Demon Blade】, it seems he has something unique."

"I am interested in meeting this person."

He Ningyan crossed her hands in front of her chest, a flash of brilliance in her beautiful eyes, and the slightly raised corners of her mouth revealed exuberant confidence.

"Senior Sister, are you going to take action?" Ma Buting's eyes lit up, and he couldn't help but look forward to it.

"There's no need to be too deliberate. This person is not worth me making a big fuss." He Ningyan shook her head and said lightly.

"Let's do the right thing first. If we can recover that treasure this time, it will be a great merit. Your entry into the organization will be a certainty."

"Senior Sister, what treasure was lost that is worth such a big battle, making you so nervous!?" Ma Buting was a bit curious. The confidentiality work was done too well; it was still airtight, and even he, the junior brother, didn't know the inside story.

"It doesn't matter if I tell you now. That thing is most likely in Yujing City."

He Ningyan hadn't been idle these days, investigating secretly, and finally had a clue.

"What treasure is it?" Ma Buting asked.

"Three-Corpse Yuan Pill!"

He Ningyan's lips parted slightly, spitting out a name.

"What!?"

Ma Buting's face changed suddenly upon hearing this.

Fifth floor, library.

Just after entering, Zhang Fan smelled a bookish atmosphere, like incense burning, like medicinal gas refreshing, indescribably comfortable and refreshing.

"The Daoist books here are all ancient secret books. You can read them yourself." Sui Chunsheng introduced.

"I still have work to do. You can read slowly."

"You go ahead, thanks."

Zhang Fan nodded, watched Sui Chunsheng leave, turned around, and plunged into the ocean of knowledge.

It must be said that the richness of the Jiangnan Province Dao Alliance's collection allows people to glimpse the heart of the predecessors seeking the Dao from heaven, the wisdom of becoming extraordinary and holy, the compassion for the world, and the grace of paving the way for future generations.

Since ancient times, all Daoist practitioners, fearing the leakage of heavenly secrets, dared not speak directly about the Dao method. Therefore, there are metaphors of medicine, furnace, and heat, and allegories of Qiankun, Kanli, Dragon and Tiger, Lead and Mercury, and too many hidden words and secret words.

But there are still people like the Pure Yang Founder and the Sea Toad Liu Ancestor, who pitied the world for not knowing the Golden Pill Great Dao and falling into side doors, leaving behind pill books and secret scrolls, passing on the method of cultivation.

"Life and nature are originally one in the innate, and must be fully cultivated in the acquired. Generally, the work of doing is to finish life, and the way of doing nothing is to finish nature. When both nature and life are finished, doing is doing nothing, and the acquired is the innate, which is the so-called supreme true Dao..."

"The two sects of nature and life, the nature sect is the source of the wonderful awakening without saint or mortal, which everyone can hear; the life sect is the function of the Golden Pill to become extraordinary and holy, which cannot be inspired without a true teacher..."

Zhang Fan was thirsty and hungry, looking at one Daoist book after another, his breath gradually entering a state of unity, his consciousness gradually silent, his soul-aspect suddenly rising, his thoughts galloping like lightning, passing in a flash, his spiritual light like a sea of stars and rivers, vast and boundless...

Suddenly, in his mind, light and shadow surged, as if there were dusty memories rising and falling at this moment.

"Mom, today is a day off, you don't have to practice."

At the old Zhang family house, the young Zhang Fan was sleepy and expressed his dissatisfaction.

The sky was not yet bright, and looking up, one could faintly see the setting moon in the west.

"Your dad is not at home today, so I can teach you these."

The languid but powerful words echoed in Zhang Fan's mind. In his memory, his mother's figure was still blurry.

"Why?" The young Zhang Fan said dissatisfiedly.

"What your dad taught you is the ancestral craft of your old Zhang family. What I am teaching you now is the secret heart-transmission."

His mother's words were serious, no longer having the usual laughter and playfulness, mother-son affection.

"Learning to be an immortal must be learning to be a heavenly immortal... The 【Zhou Yi】 Qian symbol is heaven. Qian is the body of pure yang, pure in essence, firm and immortal, which is the law nature of the diamond's long residence, the soul-aspect that is indestructible through ten thousand tribulations. Because the heavenly body is pure yang, it is metaphorically called Qian as heaven, which is incomparable to the heavens of the three realms..."

His mother's words made the young Zhang Fan's eyes fill with confusion, as if he were listening to a heavenly book.

"To achieve the state of pure yang limitlessness, the key lies in 【Reversal】. The top inner alchemy methods are all methods of reversing to become an immortal, and even the Nine Great Inner Alchemy Methods are no exception..."

"Kan and Li intersect to produce medicine, Qian and Kun intersect to obtain pills. It is always a wonderful use of reversal, but there are too few people who truly understand this truth."

His mother spoke to herself, regardless of whether the young Zhang Fan understood or not.

"Common Dao yin and yang, fire is born from wood, water is born from metal, following it out, life turns into killing. Therefore, the five elements following is a fire pit in the Dharma world, called a great disaster in the 【Yin Talisman Classic】, and it will surely overcome the pill Dao..."

"Wonderful use of reversal, water turns to produce metal, fire turns to produce wood, reversing it, killing turns to life, the so-called five elements reversal, the seven treasures of the earth..."

At this point, his mother grabbed the young Zhang Fan's little hand, her eyes condensed into a line, solemnly warning.

"Cultivation is stealing life from the killing machine, reversing it into a method, killing turns into life..."

"If you can control your own life, you can plant golden lotuses in the fire. Little Fanfan, if you can plant golden lotuses in that true fire... the wonderful use of the point, your method will be successful."

At this point, like a yellow bell and a great drum, deafening, echoing in Zhang Fan's mind.

"Wonderful use of reversal, planting lotuses in the fire house!!"

Zhang Fan's body shook violently, his soul-aspect left his body, but there was true fire burning, not burning all things, only burning this body. In an instant, a terrifying aura shook, rushing to the sky, shining with majesty.

"Hmm!?"

Just then, in the south of Yujing City, in an apartment.

At the bedside, the flickering candle flame suddenly extinguished. Li Yishan, who was still sleeping, opened his eyes suddenly, got up and looked out the window, looking in the direction of the Jiangnan Province Dao Alliance.
