Chapter 39 Harvest at Lanruo Temple

Lanruo Temple, inside a remote, dilapidated house.

Yan Chixia was leaning against the overturned offering table, fast asleep with his eyes closed.

The night was deep, and only the chirping of insects and birds could be heard in Lanruo Temple, which added to the eerie and terrifying atmosphere.

At one moment, Yan Chixia suddenly opened his eyes, and golden light flashed in them.

"here we go again……"

"Those who don't listen to advice deserve this calamity!"

"..."

"Fine, I'll eat your meal and then save you!"

Yan Chixia was ultimately all bark and no bite.

He sensed the rising ghostly and demonic energy, knowing that the tree spirit and the female ghost were harming people again.

He then picked up the Xuanyuan Sword and headed straight for the main hall where Xu Xian lived.

He moved with incredible speed, arriving on the roof of the main hall in the blink of an eye, only to suddenly feel the ghostly aura dissipate.

The hall fell silent again.

Yan Chixia was slightly puzzled.

He spread his divine sense to investigate the scene in the main hall.

Then they saw Nie Xiaoqian huddled in the corner, while the two women and one man seemed to be talking about something.

"Did I misjudge him?"

"Let's go find that tree spirit first!"

Seeing that the main hall was safe, Yan Chixia stopped paying attention to it.

The tree spirit has unusually revealed its presence tonight; we must eliminate it first!

Yan Chixia, carrying the Xuanyuan Sword, followed the direction of the demonic aura and indeed found a towering locust tree!

Upon closer inspection, the tree trunk is gnarled and thick, the canopy is lush and dense, and countless demonic energies rise up.

Yan Chixia looked at the Tree Demon Granny with a furrowed brow, puzzled.

"This demon is always cautious, why has it revealed its true form now?"

"The demonic aura was indeed dense, but it dissipated like a headless fly."

"I can't even sense this demon's divine consciousness."

"What happened?"

Seeing the tree demon's peculiar nature, Yan Chixia did not act rashly, but instead circled around it.

When Yan Chixia arrived behind the tree demon, his eyes widened and his magical power surged.

"What?!"

"Who exactly is it...?"

Two gaps, one horizontal and one vertical, appeared on the tree trunk behind the tree demon.

The gap was enormous, almost splitting the towering tree demon into four pieces.

However, the force was controlled perfectly, shattering most of the demonic energy while leaving a trace of life.

Why is this?

Yan Chixia suppressed his surging magical power, his heart filled with shock and confusion.

He had fought this thousand-year-old tree demon for countless years, so he naturally knew how powerful the tree demon was.

He was killed by two swords, which shows that the person's strength far exceeded that of the tree demon!

Is that person a friend or foe?

Is it good or evil?

Yan Chixia didn't know, but he wasn't afraid.

As members of the Taoist sect, we take it upon ourselves to subdue demons and eliminate evil.

Whether they are good or friendly, it doesn't matter; if they are enemies or evil, one will have no choice but to fight them.

"The tree demon is full of vitality. If we don't eradicate it now, it will surely come back again in the future."

Yan Chixia murmured something, then gripped the Xuanyuan Sword tightly, ready to kill the tree demon completely.

"Fellow Daoist, wait a moment!"

Just then, someone spoke up and stopped Yan Chixia.

Fellow Daoist...

Judging from this title, it's clear that the visitor also possesses some level of cultivation.

Yan Chixia looked up and saw Xu Xian and the other two coming on the wind!

He gripped the Xuanyuan Sword tightly, his expression unusually serious, and his magical power surged around him: "You are actually cultivators? Are you human or demon? Immortal or Buddha?"

Xu Xian remained calm and composed: "I am a mortal, while these two are wandering immortals."

"A wandering immortal?"

Yan Chixia frowned slightly.

The term "wandering immortal" refers to an immortal who has achieved success in cultivation but does not hold a divine position in the Heavenly Court.

There are quite a few free spirits, most of whom are happy to live a carefree life and are unwilling to be restricted by the Heavenly Court.

But the two people in front of me clearly do not belong to this category.

As for the other type of wandering immortal, they are demons, ghosts, fox spirits, and spirits who have become immortals.

These spirits do not harm people, nor do they follow evil paths. They cultivate themselves solely through the essence of the sun and moon, striving to achieve enlightenment.

They can also be called wandering immortals.

Yan Chixia carefully sensed the magical power of Bai Qing and the other person, and asked, "Are you two snake demons?"

Bai and Qing did not hide their feelings and nodded, saying, "We have been cultivating for a long time, and if we want to achieve perfect merit, we naturally need to slay demons and eliminate evil."

Yan Chixia understood.

He cupped his hands and said, "Since we are kindred spirits, please eliminate this demon."

The Tree Demon Granny has harmed countless people; killing her will bring great merit.

Therefore, Yan Chixia did not take action, but waited for Xu Xian and the other two to gain merit.

Xu Xian, of course, would not refuse.

He leaped up and used the Listening Wind Break technique on the Realgar White Sword to kill the thousand-year-old locust tree with a single strike.

[Congratulations to player Xu Xian for slaying a level 40 tree demon, Dao Qi +80]

Congratulations to player Xu Xian for acquiring the [Locust Wood Staff] (Blue)

[Congratulations to player Xu Xian for acquiring the Tree Demon's supernatural power [Exorcism Technique] (Green)]

[Exorcism]: Can command the spirits of ghosts below level 20.

[Congratulations to player Xu Xian for acquiring the Tree Demon's skill "Azure Wood Rebirth Technique" (Blue)]

The "Green Wood Rebirth Technique" can make a practitioner's magical power continuous and their lifespan long.

Special effects: Greatly increases lifespan and grants immunity to common fatal wounds.

Xu Xian closed his eyes and sat cross-legged, sensing the cultivation technique in his mind, and a mysterious aura emanated from his body.

Xiaoqing asked in confusion, "Sister, what's going on?"

Bai Suzhen's beautiful eyes sparkled: "My lord has entered the realm of communion between heaven and man, and it seems that he has gained something tremendous."

Yan Chixia exclaimed in equal astonishment, "Truly a communion between heaven and man, a rare sight indeed!"

Xu Xian naturally heard Bai Suzhen and Yan Chixia's conversation and nodded secretly.

His current state is certainly not one of communion with the heavens; he is merely comprehending the techniques in his mind.

Xu Xian deliberately acted in this state.

He wanted to strengthen his image as a cultivation genius and provide a more reasonable explanation for the origin of his cultivation techniques.

Moreover, Xu Xian had long wanted to teach Bai Qing and the other two the Lesser Heavenly Cycle Hidden Hiding Technique, but he never had a suitable reason.

Now we have a reason.

"5000 points of comprehension are truly terrifying. In the blink of an eye, I have mastered the 'Azure Wood Reincarnation Technique' and the 'Exorcism Technique'."

Xu Xian opened his eyes, a flash of blue light appearing briefly within them: "My wife, I have just entered a rather mysterious realm, and my mind is filled with some things that I cannot explain."

Bai Suzhen was overjoyed: "My lord is blessed with great fortune; he will surely become a carefree immortal in the future."

Xiaoqing pursed her lips, but she had to admit that Xu Xian's talent was truly terrifying.

Yan Chixia gave Xu Xian a deep look, then pointed to the roots of the locust tree and said, "There is a great merit here."

Bai and Qing were puzzled, and Xu Xian also pretended to look confused.

Yan Chixia said, "Although the tree demon does devour the internal organs of mortals, it is very cautious, only using the spirits and essences of ghosts to attract them. There are more than a dozen urns of ashes buried in the roots of this tree, all belonging to pitiful people. If we can find another place to bury them and let them enter the underworld sooner, it will naturally be a great merit. As for the harmful things these ghosts have done, the underworld will judge them."

After saying this, Yan Chixia took his leave and left.

Bai and Qing bowed, exclaiming, "Truly, they are people who cultivate immortality and seek the Dao!"

Xiaoqing gazed at the pale dawn on the horizon, stretched, and said, "I'll go dig out those urns containing ashes. The sooner we get it over with, the better, so some people don't have to get all lovey-dovey with that female ghost!"

Bai Suzhen, her face flushed, tugged at Xu Xian's sleeve, seemingly wanting to say something but unable to.

Xu Xian thought she wanted to have sex with him, so he naturally agreed.

But Bai Suzhen bit her lip and shook her head.

This level 41 demon hesitated for a while, but seemed to have made up his mind.

"My lord, I have learned a great deal about the mortal world, and I know that of the three unfilial acts, the greatest is to have no offspring. Since my belly is... if you find that female ghost pleasing to the eye, I will personally propose marriage for you."

puff!

Whoa, whoa, whoa!

Xu Xian coughed for a while, then walked towards the main hall with a dark face, saying, "Move the urn containing the ashes tomorrow night so that these women can be reincarnated."

According to the game's setting, after Xu Xian reaches level 21, he can no longer obtain Dao Qi from demons and monsters below level 20.

Xu Xian was naturally happy to let Bai Suzhen reap the rewards.

As for the Black Mountain Demon at level 43...

If we teach Bai Suzhen the Lesser Heavenly Cycle Hidden Concealment Technique and use Yan Chixia's power, we can kill him!

Xu Xian then obtained a massive amount of Dao Qi and a supernatural power at the level of the Seventy-Two Earthly Fiends – Tong You!
