Chapter 427: Chapter 300 "Purple Qi Eastward" Technique_2

After dodging pursuit for a while, you noticed that your pursuers had lost track of you, so you wandered around the slum again. Under the broken tiles and cold hovels, there were many beggars, with the odd madman speaking nonsense and mumbling incoherently. Some were lying on the side of the road, gasping for air – if they hadn’t lost a leg, then it was an arm.

You approached an old man passing by who seemed somewhat learned.

The old man lamented, "The Turtle Spirit Mother, although a True God, is fond of sleeping and doesn’t manage much, nor does she respond to people’s worship and offerings."

In such dark times, poor families who seek to gain something always end up losing something else. Thus, various evil beings find opportunities to knock on their doors.

Having said that, the old man hurried away.

As you passed by a low house, a terrifying aura emanated from within it. Faint chanting could be heard.

Even in a large city protected by True Gods, malevolent spirits and demons infiltrate in secret, attempting to overthrow the established Taoist order.

You thought to yourself, "If I could catch a weaker Evil God in this accursed place and use its body to sacrifice to the ’Emperor of Heaven,’ perhaps I could take its position and create a brand new anchor!"

Of course, you could also go to the Turtle Spirit Mother’s Taoist Temple and try to recruit the True God "Turtle Spirit Mother," although information about her is scarce and the chances of success might not be high. (*Please note that should the recruitment fail, it might expose Qingshi Town’s covert development strategy and trigger an unprecedented level of attention from the outside world.)

Wang Hao pondered for a moment and couldn’t make up his mind.

Comrade Li Qingshan, single-handedly without any divine weapons, would not likely be a match for an Evil God. It would at least require regrouping with Old Lu to find and battle an Evil God.

It wouldn’t be worth it to just throw away his life.

As for... the option to directly recruit the "Turtle Spirit Mother," the risk was simply too great. Until his forces in Qingshi Town were strong and robust, it was better to forget about it.

If the recruitment failed and the "Heavenly Gate" was exposed, then he would have to struggle against all the Evil Gods of the world.

For now, he would have to be patient.

Taking advantage of the early daylight, where do you plan to wander? The dark and damp alleys; the barely lively town square; the residence of the Kunlun Immortal Master; the dojo of the Turtle Spirit Mother; the Yi Hong Courtyard filled with the scent of romance; the unfriendly looking government office; wander randomly and take a chance on fate; or just find a place to rest.

These were still the options.

"The residence of the Kunlun Immortal Master" was available to choose again?

Wang Hao’s curiosity was piqued.

He wasn’t sure if Li Qingshan’s appearance had been noticed. If it hadn’t, he could indeed visit again, because he hadn’t yet handed over that wooden token!

He could actually approach openly and ask to be taken as a disciple to learn the arts!

With bold confidence, oh foreigner, you choose... to enter the residence of the Kunlun Immortal Master once again!

The so-called most dangerous place is also the safest, and you took the plunge.

This time, there were no girls’ charming laughter; instead, you could smell incense from afar.

Apparently, those Taoists hurried to burn incense to cover the recent scent of blood.

You approached a Taoist who seemed kind-faced and handed over your wooden token.

He glanced at you, inquired about the origin of the token, then tapped your arm three times and observed you with a strange mirror. Showing a suspicious expression, he asked if you had ever practiced Taoist Skill in the past.

You claimed to have followed an unknown monk as a child and practiced simple Breathing Techniques.

The Taoist nodded, not too suspicious, believing you might have a trace of Spirit Root and suggested you bribe him. Yes/No.

Yes.

Bribe him!

Clearly, as an outsider claiming to be righteous, you went against your own ethics, desiring to commit a contemptible act.

However, upon checking your pockets, you found you only had less than half a Silver Coin, which amounted to less than five hundred Copper Coin – hardly enough to bribe anyone. Moreover, your appearance was tanned and with Pus Sores on your face; even if you wanted to sell your ass, no one would buy it.

Wang Hao imagined the righteous Li Qingshan wanting to sell his ass and couldn’t help but chuckle inwardly.

The Taoist noticed you couldn’t produce any money and his face showed displeasure.

He gave you a scroll and a set of travel gear, telling you to serve as a Qinghui Taoist prisoner for five years before considering taking you as a disciple to learn the arts.

*You have become a named disciple of the Kunlun lineage.

"No bribe means a wasted five years for nothing,"

Wang Hao sighed in his heart, "The key point is that these Taoists aren’t really good people either, who knows what nefarious things they’re up to. After five years, they might ask for another five. Who knows, these Taoists might still be thinking about eating people."

But it didn’t matter anymore; if Kunlun Mountain wouldn’t keep him, he’d simply find a way to overturn the whole world.

What followed were a plethora of prompts.

You received a Qinghui Dust Brush*1: Claimed to be able to clear the cells of sinister energy and bad vibes, your daily task was to sweep the prison. But upon closer inspection, the Dust Brush looked quite ordinary and might only serve as a psychological comfort.

A Taoist robe and hat*1: A loose-fitting cyan-grey Taoist robe with nothing supernatural about it. But anyhow, you were now a Taoist apprentice, and wearing this attire gave you a slight stature.

Purple Qi Eastward (Incomplete): An introductory level Taoist Skill that must be learned by the Kunlun lineage. With the sunrise in the East and the Purple Qi coming eastward, capturing a strand of this Purple Energy at dawn could strengthen the body, clear the senses, and prolong life. [Photo]
