Chapter 373: Chapter 370: Silk Cave, Fanglin Master
Sizzle... sizzle...
The supremely tender venison chop was gradually giving off an extremely enticing aroma under the searing flames.
This ingredient, cut and cooked on the spot, shone due to its incomparable freshness. Furthermore, with the transcendent constitution of the Spirit Monster itself, just a pinch of salt was enough to evoke the most perfect natural flavor of the venison.
Even adding one extra clove of garlic would be a desecration to this premium meat.
Of course, Xin Xiaowei didn’t have any garlic to begin with.
In a clay pot beside her, two large pig’s feet were simmering with a "gurgle gurgle," their rich meaty aroma providing the most delightful taste.
Xin Xiaowei, stationed beside the fire, was almost in tears from her craving.
Tears streamed down from the corner of her mouth; no matter what, she couldn’t stop them.
"Deer is associated with ’Lu,’ so this venison is Blessings Meat. The pig’s front leg is also called ’Money Leg,’ so these pig’s feet are Money Stewed Meat, truly a good omen.
I never thought I, Xin Xiao Wei, would have such a day.
Mom, do you know? Your daughter doesn’t have to eat trash anymore! Boo hoo hoo..."
Xin Xiaowei brought over a small stool, missing a leg, and sat down obediently. She probed the doneness of the "Blessings Meat" with a bamboo skewer.
After testing, not wanting to waste the lingering taste of the meat, she habitually chewed and swallowed the bamboo skewer.
When she turned and saw the white deer and black pig, which she had healed using "Limb Regeneration," tightly hugging each other, with vacant eyes, cowering in a corner sobbing incessantly,
seeing her great benefactors a bit unhappy,
Xin Xiaowei quickly stepped forward, embracing one with each arm, and patted their shoulders affectionately:
"Don’t worry, as followers of ’Poverty God’ Xin Xiaowei, I will definitely not mistreat you!
As long as I have a blade of grass, a scoop of soil, I’ll make sure you have it too.
Though we will still be poor in the future, it will certainly be a richly flavored poverty, slurp~
Right, according to our family’s tradition, all properties must have their own names.
I’ve also thought of new names for you; the deer will be called ’Easy to Raise’ and the pig ’Good Eats,’ both as major Spirit Beasts under me, the ’Poverty God.’
How about it, sounds nice, doesn’t it?"
"Poverty God?"
"Easy to Raise?"
"Good Eats?"
"Wow...."
The two Spirit Monsters with vacant eyes muttered a sentence, but then cried even more heartbreakingly.
In the past, they had repeatedly thanked the ’Poverty God’ for saving their lives, never imagining that now it was finally their turn to repay the ’Poverty God.’
And it was in the most unexpected way.
"Haha, don’t be too moved; all this is what I should do.
The recently sacrificed Little One, Little Two... Little Five, if there’s a spirit in heaven, will definitely bless you too."
Under the dual blessings of "Prosperous in Body, Meager in Wealth" and the Earth Department Divine Position "Poverty God."
Xin Xiaowei was indeed a natural talent, with exceptional aptitude and a robust constitution, immune to all diseases. Yet, her financial resources flowed like water, not retaining a trickle, destined to be the poorest of the poor.
If not for her robust constitution that relished food, she didn’t know how many times she would have starved to death.
However, she wasn’t a masochist.
Even if she could survive on grass roots and tree bark, wanting to eat and being willing to eat were completely different matters.
"From now on, just leave ’Easy to Raise’ and ’Good Eats’ to handle eating grass and tree roots, while I take care of eating them. This is just too perfect!
Xin Xiaowei, oh Xin Xiaowei, you really are a clever one!
Right, I also want to thank Star Lord Taibai for bringing me two such divine beasts under his command. You really are a good person."
At this time, Wang Yuan, transformed into a painting, had been hanging motionless on the wall.
Suddenly, he discovered an unusually thick line of faith within his "Merit Golden Wheel" at the back of his head.
From it came the devoted prayers of Xin Xiaowei.
This utterly unprincipled ’Poverty God’ clearly epitomized the saying "any port in a storm."
Using the call of a believer, Wang Yuan also saw the scene in the courtyard through the connection.
Even as a Dou Department Immortal Official, he could not help but marvel at the mystery of fate.
On one hand were his colleagues from the days when he served as "Bone Bundle God" under the "Heaven Righteous Dharma Dao," the three of them who had survived from the hands of the "Black Heaven Earth Mother";
on the other side were his colleagues from the "Nine Soldiers," and the first Yin Department Ghost God under his command.
Both palms and backs of hands are flesh.
Seeing them so affectionate and supportive of each other, Wang Yuan felt greatly reassured.
At that moment, the "Small Book of Life and Death" unexpectedly quivered slightly.
Wang Yuan’s face became solemn:
"They’re here, so fast!"
The next moment.
Pop!
With a soft click next to his ear.
Using the "Life Trading Coin" and the "Luban Ruler" as mediums,
Wang Yuan’s consciousness finally and quietly broke through the "Dharma Domain" opened by the master of the "Six Desires Red Dust Dao."
It was as if he had entered a garden of endless flowers instantly.
The garden was filled with flowers competing in vibrancy and charm, attracting countless frenzied bees and butterflies in pursuit.
Yet beneath those flowers, there was a large net woven of red "Puppet Tether" threads, and seated right at the center of the net was a half-human half-spider demon,
occasionally devouring a bee or butterfly stuck to the net.
This was no beautiful flower garden, but rather a deception, the Silk Cave itself!
"Demon!"
Wang Yuan knew that what was swallowed was not mere frivolous butterflies and bees, but spirits captured by the Oiran leading the top ten courtesans.
The beautiful woman with two legs and six arms, as well as four eyes on her forehead, was indeed the Taoist Master of the Six Desires Red Dust Tao—Fanglin Master.
She was also the protector of the brothels and the miscellaneous workers of the theater.
"This mysterious and elusive demon, who never shows herself, turns out to be a spider demon?
And she probably wants to touch the divine position of the Human Dao with the Human Willpower brought by the ’Six Desires Red Dust Qi’."
"Cautious and yet ambitious, she’s not an easy one to deal with."
At the same time, Wang Yuan also saw the very "Six Desires Red Dust Umbrella" body hanging above her head.
The red umbrella surface featured golden marketplace decorations, embodying the myriad businesses of the Red Dust.
Below were twenty-four umbrella ribs, engraved with the eight characters for "wealth, disease, separation, righteousness, official, robbery, harm, origin."
The umbrella’s edge was adorned with twelve copper coins and twelve translucent, unnamed Buddha beads tied with a red string.
At the very bottom was a nine-segment umbrella handle, each segment marked with eerie talisman seals, collectively forming a solid dragon bone that supported the entire splendid surface of the umbrella.
A clear jade pendant was also tied to the handle.
Ripples of light flowed back and forth on it, clearly showing that after acquiring the final component, the "Six Desires Red Dust Tao" artifact had completely taken shape.
It would not only immensely strengthen the magical power of its own Tao lineage but was also brewing something at an even higher level, the Earth Department Taoism.
Countless streams of light traveled through the omnipresent silk threads in the "Silk Domain" and interacted with Fanglin Master.
Wang Yuan had arrived just in time.
"Ordinary ’Deceit Objects’ are mindless and not very active, easily purified by the ’Enlightenment Immortal Light’.
But a ’Taoist Inheritance Artifact’ presided over by a Taoist Master is almost impossible to purify."
A thief will always be a thief, plotting minor schemes is no issue at all.
But to really take over the nest and claim the ’Six Desires Red Dust Umbrella’ as his own,
unless he could eliminate Fanglin Master, taking her place as the Taoist Master, it barely seemed feasible.
Otherwise, if she sensed something was amiss, falling short would be the least of his worries, being hunted down till death would be far worse.
However, since he, Old Wang, had entered the household of the Six Desires Red Dust Tao, just like Monkey Sun inside the belly of Princess Iron Fan, he naturally had tricks up his sleeve to spoil others’ plans.
"Time to stir things up! Let’s use this ’Earth Department Taoism·Red Spider Lily Blooming Skill,’ adding a bit of spice!"
With a thought, a scripture flowed into the "Six Desires Red Dust Umbrella," mediated by the "Luban Ruler" and the "Life Trading Coin."
"Red Spider Lily, blooms for a thousand years, withers for a thousand years, flower and leaf never meet, love not bound by causality, destiny decrees life and death...
Red Spider Lily, blooms on the other shore, when the flower blooms the leaf is not seen, when the leaf sprouts the flower is not seen, flower and leaf never meet, eternally missing each other..."
This Taoist skill, although not originally from the same source, seemed to fit perfectly with it like a puzzle piece.
Wang Yuan knew that even when he had previously refined the similarly sourced "Fengdu Iron Enclosure·Abyssal Ghost King Banner," it had taken him several months.
Even though uncontrolled, it was not possible to usurp ownership of the "Six Desires Red Dust Umbrella" in a moment’s notice.
But he could disrupt it profoundly at a critical moment!
Principle: "Knowledge" attracts similar "knowledge" to continuously aggregate.
No wonder Wang Yuan, after obtaining the "Small Book of Life and Death," first got involved with the major force of the Six Desires Red Dust Tao.
The essence of the "Dragon Qi Prohibition" lies both in serving as the central base for this side of the Heavenly Dao in the Yin Department, and in the "Nine Cauldrons" placed there.
The profuse branches are the tumultuous Human Willpower of the Mortal World.
Thus, the "Six Desires Red Dust Qi," rooted in the Mortal World, can be seen as the "Dragon Energy" going solo, cutting off from the Yin Department!
Wang Yuan estimated it would take about a month.
The scriptures he left behind could, through persistence, deeply imprint the "Yin Mountain Taoism" within the "Six Desires Red Dust Umbrella."
Whilst filling in the part belonging to the Yin Department within the "Six Desires Red Dust Qi," composed of Yang Energy, Emotional Evil, Wealth Qi, Peach Blossom Evil, etc.
By then, using the "Yin Mountain Taoism" to open the "Earth Gate".
It would supplement it with enough Earth Qi, Netherworld Yin Qi, Hanging Fiend, River Jumping Evil, Enchanting Soul Evil, Short-Sighted Evil, Luopo Evil, Hooking and Strangling Evil...
Turning the originally protective "Six Desires Red Dust Qi," which helped demons blend into "Dragon Qi Prohibition" without harm, completely into real Dragon Energy!
Causing Yunjing City, steeped in boiling tensions, to instantly become a massive "Big Oil Pot."
Blasting all the demons from the "No-Life Dao" and "Six Desires Red Dust Tao" who were planning something in Yunjing City completely to smithereens!
With his hands adding the ingredients, Wang Yuan was certain.
"Pull the rug out from under them, this move is solid!"
Unfortunately.
Because the top brass of both "No-Life Dao" and the "Nine Soldiers" kept their plans under strict secrecy,
Wang Yuan, still in the dark to this day, remained unaware of the terrifying level of the opponents he was about to face.
He regarded Junior Brother Qian as his hidden dragon and crouching phoenix, little did he know, he himself was officially deemed the hidden dragon and crouching phoenix by Sister Ruan!
At this moment.
Just as Wang Yuan, who had instilled the complete "Red Spider Lily Blooming Skill," was ready to retreat successfully, he suddenly heard:
"Taoist Fellow Fanglin, rest assured, although my family’s Green Seal Strange Immortal ’One-Eyed Stone Man’ cannot leave the Turbid River, the unsolvable ’Singing Rhyme Child’ is already on its way.
The matters involved in their rhymes, whether concerning an individual, a family, a city, or a country, will without exception become reality!
Absolutely unchangeable!"
These words came from Fanglin Master, who while guarding the "Taoist Inheritance Artifact," communicated through a vibrating spider silk with the distant Red Lotus.
"Unsolvable strangeness? Singing Rhyme Child?"
Upon hearing this familiar term once more, Wang Yuan shuddered with a sudden chill.
