Chapter 308

I just don't know what kind of cultivator that Fellow Daoist Li is!

Hu Jianbo said curiously.

According to reason, Fellow Daoist Li Fuwei should be an elderly cultivator with much worldly experience and profound cultivation; otherwise merely doing business would not allow his true body to act.

Instead, he controls a Paper Person to appear!

Initially.

He suspected that Fellow Daoist Li was hiding near the Jiu tou shan ji shi market; otherwise he couldn't control the Paper Person to go far away. But after he carefully checked the vicinity of the Jiu tou shan ji shi market, there were no traces of cultivators or monsters, yet it didn't match Fellow Daoist Li's aura.

In other words…

Fellow Daoist Li's cultivation must have reached some unfathomable profound level to remotely control the Paper Person, for although the technique of controlling a Paper Person is merely a lowly side path, remote control still requires immense cultivation support.

Without accumulating years, how could one possibly have such vast cultivation?

Just.

If Fellow Daoist Li were an elderly cultivator, he would not come to the Jiu tou shan ji shi market to sell mere low-level Talismans.

Although the low-level Talismans made by Fellow Daoist Li, their effect is actually not inferior to intermediate Talismans.

This is enough to prove Fellow Daoist Li's talent in the Talisman way, and his desire to study intermediate Talismans shows he is not someone who would devote all his time to low-level Talismans.

He is a cultivator with the heart to advance further in the Talisman way!

Of course.

It is also possible that Fellow Daoist Li, although elderly, has only recently begun the Talisman path; previously he studied other professions, not as a Talisman master but as an artifact refiner or even a formation master.

After much thought, Hu Jianbo's mind was filled with myriad random thoughts, and he could not give himself a perfect explanation to convince himself, saying:

"Forget it, if I can't figure it out, don't waste time thinking more; later, after more contact with Fellow Daoist Li, I might just find out what's going on!"

While speaking, Hu Jianbo, curious, prepared to lift Wang Ping'an from the cradle for another check; frightened, Wang Ping'an thought Hu Jianbo wanted to abduct him and was about to drive the Sword Apparatus within his body to strike Hu Jianbo fiercely.

A series of heavy, muffled footsteps!

Hu Jianbo's hand movement stopped, and immediately a demonic aura surged from his whole body, enveloping him from head to toe; in an instant he vanished completely.

The next moment, Liu Dongzhu entered from outside the hall with a happy face; at this time she had already prepared the food, waiting for her parents to return from farming to eat, came to the cradle, and lifted Wang Ping'an from it.

Liu Dongzhu kept holding Wang Ping'an and placed him on the bamboo bed, then eagerly said: "Ping'an, come crawl quickly, let Mother see how your crawling is!"

The invisible Hu Jianbo, seeing Wang Ping'an eagerly crawling up on the bamboo bed under Liu Dongzhu's enticement, couldn't help but shake his head and think:

"Surely just a child; how could he be a reincarnation of some great expert?"

After the recent check, he vaguely noticed that Wang Ping'an's abnormality was in his body, not in his person.

The Sword Qi injected into his body by the Great Sword Hero, for some unknown reason, had condensed into a Sword Apparatus, and he faintly realized that this child's physique showed signs of becoming an Acquired Sword Body.

If this child encounters a good master and learns a superior sword method, his Acquired Sword Body might possibly evolve into a Primordial Sword Body.

To say he is a qilin child descended into the world would not be an exaggeration!

"Even without Fellow Daoist Li, we must still maintain a good relationship with this child; for us Nine-headed Mountain Fox Clan, this would be of tremendous benefit!"

Hu Jianbo said thoughtfully.

Not long after.

Hu Jiushisan respectfully spied—no, he was guarding the Wang Jia Xiao Yuan; previously he had at least been guarding the Bei damen of the Jiu tou shan ji shi market, and also the captain of the guard squad, but now he has degenerated into... guarding a human's home!

Not only has he not progressed, but he has actually regressed!

Hu Jiushisan felt uneasy, about to sigh a few times, when in his peripheral vision he saw a figure appear beside him, his whole body trembling; it was no one else, but the clan chief of the Nine-headed Mountain Fox Clan, Hu Jianbo.

Hu Jianbo spoke with a trembling tone, greeting: "Clan chief!"

"This household is very important to our Nine-headed Mountain Fox Clan; you must protect it carefully!"

Hu Jianbo instructed: "Of course, I know your abilities; expecting you to protect this household is impossible; what you need to do is, when this household encounters danger, notify me in advance; if you cannot reach me, you can directly contact the Nine-headed Mountain Fox Clan guard team!"

The Nine-headed Mountain Fox Clan guard team is the elite of the entire Nine-headed Mountain Fox Clan, gathering its top experts, with many elders and officials serving there; besides the direct descendants, there are also many branch descendants.

The benefits and treatment are all excellent!

No one knows how many Nine-headed Mountain Fox Clan members dream of joining the guard team; unfortunately, due to the guard team's stringent recruitment standards, very few fox demons can pass the selection.

Hu Jiushisan once, when young, also fantasized about joining the Nine-headed Mountain Fox Clan guard team, for the guard team is where the clan's geniuses gather, and moreover it is the cradle of elders and officials.

The vast majority of the Nine-headed Mountain Fox Clan's elders and officials come from the guard team.

Clan chief?

It is not something these branch descendants can merely think of, but becoming an official or even an elder is something they can achieve.

However.

In this novel you have arrived

The cruel fact, during a Nine-headed Mountain Fox Clan guard team selection, made it clearly know the gap between itself and the clan's genius descendants, making it clearly know that it is merely an ordinary fox demon.

For example, it is currently only at the Qi Refining stage, not even reaching Foundation Establishment, yet among the guards of the Nine-headed Mountain Fox Clan guard team who are its peers, not to mention Foundation Establishment, they have already reached Golden Core, and it is said they even have Nascent Soul Stage.

That selection dealt it a heavy blow, causing it to sink for a long time before accepting its mediocrity.

Thus it has been guarding the Bei damen of the Jiu tou shan ji shi market for many years without resigning.

At least.

It can have a relaxed job to support its family, and under it there are still two monsters under its command.

Hu Jiushisan gave an embarrassed laugh, saying: "Clan chief, I cannot contact our guard team's people!"

Of course.

It also had something left unsaid: that it likewise could not contact its clan chief.

"I know!"

Hu Jianbo was not surprised either; with a thought, two communication jade pendants appeared in his palm, which he handed over, saying: "These two communication jade pendants: one is for contacting me, the other for contacting our guard team; for ordinary matters, you contact the guard team directly; for urgent, earth-shattering affairs, you contact me first; understand?"

"Clan chief, I understand!"

Hu Jiushisan respectfully received the two communication jade pendants handed over by Hu Jianbo, his eyes shining brightly.

Hu Jianbo reminded, "Take good care of guarding this family's home; you'll definitely get your benefits later!"
