Chapter 221: Bai Suzhen Under Mount Qingcheng

Gathering soul-aspect to refine the Great Medicine, in the Wu Wei place, there is existence and non-existence.

Swallowing Yin Tiger in the dark night, refining the soul-aspect like a Great Medicine, this is a secret deal known only to heaven and earth, kept secret and not told to gods or ghosts.

However, that message from the Millennium Old Demon was like a thunderbolt, plucking at Zhang Fan's nerves.

"Does he know? Or is he referring to something else? Or is it..."

In an instant, countless thoughts surged in Zhang Fan's mind, and countless doubts intertwined in his heart.

"What exactly do you mean?" Zhang Fan's brows furrowed.

Regarding this Millennium Old Demon, from Mount Zhenwu, he accidentally saw a post of his about cultivation on the internet. Since then, a subtle connection had been maintained between the two online and offline.

This connection kept expanding. Now it seems it was not accidental.

Zhang Fan could feel that this Millennium Old Demon was very aware of his situation, even knowing the various things he saw in his soul-aspect inner scene when he was trapped in "Night Never Bright," and even that he could practice the 【Fire Dragon Dan Sword】 was thanks to the other party's guidance.

Sometimes, Zhang Fan even had an illusion that this Millennium Old Demon might be by his side, or even someone he knew.

But Zhang Fan had many suspicions, but all were denied.

This Millennium Old Demon had learned the three religions, had unique insights into the path of cultivation, and most importantly, seemed extremely knowledgeable about both the Daoist world and the Wu Wei Sect.

"You don't need to have any suspicion about me. Any suspicion is consuming your Qi and blood. The sprouting of thoughts is the carnival of the conscious spirit."

Just at this moment, the Millennium Old Demon's message popped up.

"Cut the crap, don't play tricks with me. Who exactly are you? I have reason to suspect you have ulterior motives." Zhang Fan's fingers were like lightning, typing on the keyboard.

"The one you should suspect most is not me, but..."

Zhang Fan looked at the popped-up message. The Millennium Old Demon's dialog box showed "The other party is typing..."

"The girl behind you."

Zhang Fan's pupils contracted violently, and he subconsciously turned his head to look back.

Just at this moment, Jiang Lai was looking at him straight on. The two eyes met, and the gazes intersected in the air.

Zhang Fan's face twitched, feeling guilty, his gaze moved back to the screen, his body straightened slightly, blocking his computer.

"What do you mean?"

"She will take your life."

Drip...

With the last message sent over, the Millennium Old Demon's avatar turned gray.

"Damn... playing riddles with me!" Zhang Fan spat, staring dead at the Millennium Old Demon's dialog box, staring at the last message.

Jiang Lai?

No way!

Zhang Fan being able to re-awaken his soul-aspect and step into cultivation had a lot to do with Jiang Lai.

In addition, from Mount Zhenwu, several times it was Jiang Lai who saved him from danger, even saving his life.

If Jiang Lai really wanted his life, there were too many opportunities.

Furthermore, the Millennium Old Demon didn't name names that it was Jiang Lai, and what's more, his words might not be credible.

"Sooner or later, I will drag you out."

Zhang Fan muttered in his heart, casually clicking on the Millennium Old Demon's homepage.

"Hmm!?"

Just ten minutes ago, the Millennium Old Demon actually updated a post again, titled 【The Most "Eerie" Daoist Famous Mountain—Mount Qingcheng】.

"Mount Qingcheng..." Zhang Fan's gaze narrowed slightly.

Mount Qingcheng is one of the ten great Daoist famous mountains in the world, with a long history, and was listed as one of the five great immortal mountains in ancient times.

"Mount Qingcheng is in the Sichuan area..." Zhang Fan muttered softly, thinking of Old Yu for no reason, and couldn't help but click on the post and read it.

"The Sichuan area is a basin, but in ancient times it was an ocean. Many unearthed marine biological fossils can be used as evidence..."

Legend has it that when Great Yu was controlling the floods, he poked a hole in Sichuan, hence the current phenomenon.

In terms of Feng Shui, the Sichuan area belongs to the Water Dragon vein, along the Yangtze River, and is connected to Yujing City. However, from the perspective of the ancestral lineage, it belongs to the Li Dragon, with abundant water Qi, but scattered and wild. The dragon vein is difficult to raise, so since ancient times, there has been no kingly grid, and naturally, there is no mandate to unify the world.

However, precisely because of such a special Feng Shui terrain, the Sichuan area is a blessed land for cultivation. Since ancient times, not only Dan Dao masters but even demons and ghosts like to practice in the Sichuan area.

Back then, when the Wu Wei Sect was at its peak, its foundation was in the Sichuan area.

Later, led by the Zhang family of Mount Long Hu, the Daoist world carried out slaughter, breaking mountains and cutting temples, sweeping across the Sichuan area.

"The first time breaking mountains and cutting temples."

Seeing this, Zhang Fan was thoughtful. The first time breaking mountains and cutting temples, the ancestor of Mount Long Hu, Zhang Daoling, led the masters of the Daoist world to enter Sichuan directly, suppressing the ghosts and gods of the Five Directions, Eight Departments, and Six Heavens, becoming famous in the world.

That was also the first confrontation between the Zhang family of Mount Long Hu and the Wu Wei Sect.

The Dharma lineage of Mount Qingcheng grew up in such soil.

Tracing the source, Mount Qingcheng has a long history. In the time of the Huang Di, there was an alchemist named Ning Fengzi who lived on Mount Qingcheng to practice the Dao. He once taught the Huang Di the "Dragon Climbing Technique" of controlling wind and clouds. The Huang Di built an altar and worshipped him as the "Five Mountains Father-in-law," so later generations also called Mount Qingcheng the Father-in-law Mountain.

At the end of the Western Han Dynasty, Yin Changsheng, known as one of the "Eight Immortals of Shu," entered Mount Qingcheng to practice the Dao.

But what truly made Mount Qingcheng famous and established its status as a Daoist famous mountain was the Daoist ancestor Zhang Daoling.

"The place where Zhang Daoling feathered..." Zhang Fan's gaze narrowed to a line.

The ancestor of the Zhang family of Mount Long Hu, Zhang Daoling, manifested the Dao on Mount Qingcheng in his later years and feathered here, putting a layer of mysterious color on Mount Qingcheng.

"Why did he run there?" Zhang Fan was thoughtful. At that time, Zhang Daoling had already founded Mount Long Hu, and the incense was already formed. Since he feathered, why did he run so far?

Thinking of this, Zhang Fan continued to read.

The reason why Mount Qingcheng is eerie is that legend has it that its back mountain is located at the intersection of the Yin and Yang realms. Evil ghosts often cross the netherworld to enter the human world here, and mountain spirits and monsters also gather here to practice.

Before the first breaking of mountains and cutting of temples, the back mountain of Mount Qingcheng was also called Ghost City Mountain.

Later, Zhang Daoling preached here, intercepted the dragon Qi of the Yangtze River to suppress the ghosts and gods of the Five Heavens, Eight Departments, and Six Heavens, and sealed the exit of the netherworld.

Even so, the root cause was not removed. Mount Qingcheng is not only a Daoist holy land but also a blessed land for demons and ghosts.

Everyone has seen *The Bai Shechuan*. Bai Suzhen was originally a large white python that had practiced for a thousand years. Her place of practice was Mount Qingcheng.

There is a song called "Bai Suzhen Under Mount Qingcheng."

Until today, in the Sichuan area, near Mount Qingcheng, there is still a special area that provides mountain spirits and demons to recuperate, called the Hometown of Monsters, also known as the Monster Township.

Legend has it that the mountain spirits and demons there have profound cultivation, and some are extremely rare. Even the river dragons and earth dragons that are extremely rare outside are still quite a few.

The Daoist world of Mount Qingcheng and the Monster Township have formed a subtle balance, and they can even borrow the power of those demons and ghosts.

This is also a very special and alternative Dharma lineage inheritance of Mount Qingcheng Daoist priests.

Back then, the previous generation of Human Zodiac...

Seeing this, Zhang Fan's eyelids jumped suddenly.

The previous generation of Human Zodiac, isn't that his mom? "The previous generation of Human Zodiac once hid her name, entered Mount Qingcheng to practice, and mastered the method of 【Raising Monsters】..."

Mountains and seas hide demons and ghosts, subduing and raising nine demons! Monsters are spirits and monsters that seize human bodies. Between the soul-aspect and the body, almost all will produce rejection reactions, especially in special environments, where they go crazy and reveal some original characteristics.

That is the so-called "revealing the original form."

For example, in *The Bai Shechuan*, Bai Suzhen drank a cup of realgar wine and began to snake-ify, scaring Xu Xian to death, which led to the later story of stealing the immortal grass.

Raising Monsters can suppress the madness of demons and ghosts, prevent the process of "revealing the original form," and can stimulate the potential of demons and ghosts, nine turns to refine demons, lawless.

"The previous generation of Human Zodiac not only practiced the method of 【Raising Monsters】 but even entered the Monster Township and subdued five extraordinary great demons, collectively called..."

"Five Demon Great Demons!"

"Five Demon Great Demons..." Zhang Fan pondered.

He knew that Si Snake Bai Yujing was one of the Five Demon Great Demons. She entered the Thirteen Zodiacs with a monster body. Except for him, only Li Linglong knew this secret.

"Precisely because of this, Mount Qingcheng hated the previous generation of Human Zodiac deeply, regarding it as a great shame. Ten years ago, Dragon-Tiger Red Moon, she suspectedly appeared and struck..."

"Precisely because of this, the Daoist priests of Mount Qingcheng possess extremely special and alternative powers, which should not be easily provoked..."

"Remember! Remember!"

The article ended here.

Zhang Fan watched, couldn't help but frown deeply.

"Who exactly is this Millennium Old Demon?" Zhang Fan was more and more confused in his heart.

He was extremely knowledgeable about the anecdotes and secrets of all the Daoist sects, and even knew the many details of the previous generation of Human Zodiac and the Dragon-Tiger Red Moon ten years ago.

Such knowledge seemed extremely abnormal, even called weird.

"The cultivation should not be weak, the age should not be small, maybe I have even seen..."

Zhang Fan's mind quickly began to outline the portrait of the Millennium Old Demon.

He was curious about this person to the extreme, like a cloud of doubt, covering his heart.

"Hmm!?"

Just at this moment, the page of this post suddenly jumped, showing it was lost.

Zhang Fan clicked on the details and was stunned.

"The post you are viewing has been taken down due to reports. If you need..."

"Reported by someone?" Zhang Fan's gaze narrowed slightly, revealing a strange look.

The Millennium Old Demon's post had been out for less than twenty minutes, and it was actually reported and taken down? Who is so bored?

"It wouldn't be the people from Mount Qingcheng, would it!?" Zhang Fan muttered.

The Millennium Old Demon's post was about Mount Qingcheng from beginning to end, and it also exposed many of their secrets behind closed doors. If it was reported, it seemed reasonable.

"You wait, sooner or later, I will drag you out."

Zhang Fan looked deeply at the Millennium Old Demon's avatar, which had already turned gray, closed the "Little Yellow Book" page, and then plugged in the USB flash drive given by Sui Chunsheng. The special link inside the USB flash drive automatically jumped to a separate page, which was the internal mall of the Daoist Alliance.

"Rock of Dividing Treasures!?"

Zhang Fan glanced at the name of the Daoist Alliance's internal mall and couldn't help but smile, saying it as if it didn't cost money.

"If you are a brother, come and slash me..."

Zhang Fan's hand slipped, and an extremely noisy and golden game page jumped out.

"Why is there an advertisement..." Zhang Fan rolled his eyes.

He closed the advertisement page and browsed roughly. It must be said that the Daoist Alliance's internal mall is indeed all-encompassing, with all categories, medicinal materials, rare treasures, magic tools, talismans...

However, the prices inside are mostly more expensive than the Black Market.

Just like the 【Da Da Nao Can】 that Shi Shougong bought before, it cost 3,800 per piece in the Black Market, but it cost 5,200 in 【Rock of Dividing Treasures】. Even if Zhang Fan could enjoy a 75% discount because of his status as a Demon-Subduing Consultant, it would still be 3,900 after the discount.

Of course, the Rock of Dividing Treasures has many more types of goods. For example, there is a substitute for 【Da Da Nao Can】 here, called 【Small Da Da Nao Can】, which only costs 1,200 per piece.

Besides that, there are quite a few treasures in the Rock of Dividing Treasures that are much cheaper than the Black Market.

For example, the 【Molten Gold】 necessary for refining magic swords only costs 128,000 per catty, which is 30% cheaper than the Black Market.

Mainly because the Daoist Alliance has mines in its hands, from mining, to transportation, to refining, to finished products, the whole industry chain is integrated, greatly reducing costs.

Zhang Fan browsed for a while. It must be said that the status of Demon-Subduing Consultant is indeed valuable. Some treasures, if purchased on 【Rock of Dividing Treasures】, can save a lot of money with a 75% discount.

In addition, Rock of Dividing Treasures also has recycling business, talismans, magic tools, materials, and even fragments have special door-to-door inspection and pricing recycling.

"Even fragments are recycled?"

Zhang Fan's heart stirred, and he couldn't help but think of the metal fragment he collected at the Black Market with Fang Changle that day.

He took it out of his pocket, and the warm feeling followed.

He only spent a little over a hundred yuan on this thing, looking like an old object, playing with it casually.

"Find someone from Rock of Dividing Treasures to verify it for me later, what exactly is it."

Zhang Fan casually put the fragment into his pocket, but in his heart, he calculated the account.

The black rat gave him 800,000, his own savings were over 120,000, excluding the 340,000 spent on buying 【Fire Character Sticker】 and 【Centennial Ginseng King】 last time, now there were 580,000 left in the card.

"Use good steel on the blade, I have to calculate carefully." Zhang Fan was thoughtful.

The treasure he needs now is one that can strengthen the soul-aspect, preferably one that can have the effect of gathering Yin Tiger's soul-aspect. In this way, there is hope for realizing the 【Great Being】 marvel realm.

"Let's look again." Zhang Fan browsed casually.

Rumble...

Just at this moment, a dull thunder sounded from outside the window. Zhang Fan subconsciously looked up and looked at the sky.

"It's going to change weather." Zhang Fan muttered softly, turned around and said: "Sister Wen, when will Old Yu be back?"

"Sister Wen... Sister Wen..."

Yujing City South High-Speed Railway Station.

A high-speed train slowly entered the station, and the carriage door slowly opened.

At the door of carriage No. 7, two men in Daoist robes walked out. One had a fair face, delicate features, and held an oil-paper umbrella in his hand. The other was thin and tall, with a faint red scar on his brow.

"Senior Brother, were those plainclothes Daoist priests just now? Why such a battle?" The thin and tall Daoist tilted his head.

"Yujing City is not peaceful recently, we should not meddle in other people's business."

The white-faced Daoist whispered solemnly, a faint essence flashing in his eyes. 【

"Just in time to use this opportunity to catch that old fish demon and bring him back to Mount Qingcheng!"
