Chapter 56: Chapter 56: The Elder of the Taoist Temple, Dog-headed Taoist Soldier!

"Mica Ganoderma Pill!" freēNovelFire.com

Song Lin recognized the pill at first glance, and it was a pill he had refined himself.

Instantly, he remembered the person in front of him.

"Are you the stall owner?"

It was no wonder he couldn’t recognize him.

The first time he saw the stall owner, he was a strange person with a pale face, stored in a jar. Subsequent encounters were with a normal-looking person, but not with the current appearance.

"That was my avatar."

The Ziyuan Taoist smiled and said.

"So you know the Taoist."

Tongshou Taoist suddenly realized, no wonder he was suddenly asked to take care of Song Lin, it seemed the two had a decent relationship.

"Come, take a seat."

Ziyuan led the two away from the dharma altar to a spacious reception hall.

An enchanting maid softly floated over and served tea to the three.

These maids were likely a kind of spirit monster.

Song Lin took a sip of the clear tea, its flavor lingering in his mouth, leaving him feeling refreshed and delighted.

After some chatting, Song Lin finally learned the identity of the person in front of him.

The Ziyuan Taoist was the direct disciple of Master Jiuyou, the temple master, and had been following Master Jiuyou in the Mei Mountain Jungle since before the opening of Xuanke Temple. He was also the current Dean of the Grand Commissioner Institute.

The hierarchy in Xuanke Temple was: Qingjing Tongxuanhua, Tixing Wucheng Ming.

Ziyuan was of the "Qing" generation, and Song Lin was of the "Ming" generation, showing the large gap between them.

"You offended Wuj Ji?" Ziyuan suddenly asked.

"Indeed..."

Song Lin explained the entire story, including his feud with Li Xuan, the conflict with Chi Yang, and Wude’s death.

Ziyuan was not surprised, as he had apparently investigated beforehand.

"You killed Wude?"

"You jest, Taoist. How could it possibly be me?"

"Alright." Ziyuan nodded, showing his belief, and did not delve too deeply into these matters. "Those things are in the past, now make Mica Ganoderma Pills for me in the future, Qingfeng! Qingshan! Ming Yue!"

Ziyuan’s voice traveled in all directions.

Soon, a middle-aged man led a man and a woman over.

Their attire indicated they were Taoists granted the Grand Commissioner Talisman.

Ziyuan gestured to the middle-aged man at the forefront and said:

"This is my eldest disciple, Lu Qingshan, currently the chief administrator of the Taoist Temple, managing fields, shops, houses, loans, and rents."

"Second disciple, Gu Qingfeng, third disciple, Ming Yue. Qingfeng guards the Spirit Hall, and Ming Yue is an Inner Sect Disciple who disregards worldly affairs."

"This is the alchemy room Taoist, Song Lin."

"Greetings, fellow Taoists."

Everyone exchanged greetings, the disciples were courteous but clearly maintained a sense of distance, so Song Lin did not want to overextend himself.

"By the way, Qingshan, do you have any spare estates?"

"Yes, at the foot of North Mountain, there is an estate with two thousand acres of farmland, ten acres of spirit field, two ponds, the residence is not large, but livable."

"Hand over the deed to Song Lin later."

"No, no, it’s too precious, and I have no time to manage it."

Accepting this would mean aligning with Ziyuan’s faction just like Tongshou.

"Just take it. From now on, ten Mica Pills every month. Otherwise, others would think working for me has no future. As for management... have the Rampant Soldier underlings or buy some servants."

"I am humbled by your favor."

Song Lin thought for a moment and agreed.

Advancing quickly without support makes it easy to become a target.

Ziyuan Taoist was rather Buddha-like, only caring about pills.

"That’s more like it! Cultivation requires Wealth, Comrades, Dharma, and Land. In the future, resources will be needed everywhere, even ten estates wouldn’t be enough."

Ziyuan patted Song Lin on the shoulder.

"Tomorrow you’ll receive the Grand Commissioner Talisman, collect the Qi Refining Method, decide on what True Qi to cultivate, or use the sect’s common Taiyin Qi?"

"I’ll go seek my fortune on my own."

Song Lin planned to use the Moon Brick to cultivate Taiyin Moonlight True Qi.

This world has plenty of different kinds of True Qi, such as She Mountain True Qi, Corpse True Qi, Ghostly Soul True Qi. There is also Mysterious Thunder True Qi from bathing in lightning, True Fire Qi from flames, and Lii Fire Qi etc.

The more unique the True Qi, the stronger it is, but the more limited it becomes.

For example, using fire-attribute True Qi to cultivate water-attribute spell would severely reduce its power.

To put it simply, the Taiyin Moonlight is moonlight, since ancient times, Sun Essence and Moonlight have been used in all kinds of spells.

Song Lin traversed various mythological systems, not lacking in powerful spells but rather lacking True Qi that is compatible with everything.

Thus, Taiyin Moonlight True Qi is the best option.

"Not bad, ambitious." Ziyuan smiled approvingly.

"From the first time I saw Song Lin, I thought this child was extraordinary."

The previously silent Tongshou suddenly spoke up.

With tasks on hand, the other disciples took their leave one by one.

"Come, I’ll take you to see something."

Ziyuan Taoist suddenly stood up.

The three wandered around, passing through corridors.

Pavilions and towers, decorated beams and painted columns.

Song Lin hadn’t expected Taoists to live so well, with beautiful servants attending them.

But thinking about it, in this world, three thousand sects could openly establish schools; different Taoist Temples have different systems, strict or lenient, all are plausible.

The three arrived at the backyard.

It was a large open space.

The floor paved with green bricks, spotless.

Spectral Ghost Fog enveloped a solitary bronze hall.

Eastern Nine Barbarians’ Rampant Soldiers, Southern Eight Barbarians’ Rampant Soldiers.

Clad in armor with a killing aura, they guarded the bronze hall, as if something precious was inside.

The three approached the door, and the heavy bronze door slowly opened.

Revealing a canopy made of five-colored cloth, underneath was a solemn dharma altar with copper bells, magic swords, and more. Precious offerings were laid out on the altar.

As Song Lin entered, a strong scent of blood assaulted his nose.

Behind the altar was a massive blood pool.

Eight feet wide, it continually bubbled with blood foam.

In the center of the blood pool floated a corpse.

The corpse was covered in dark runes and pasted with a white demon talisman. Most shockingly, the corpse had a massive black dog head.

Initially, Song Lin thought it was an Abnormal Soldier, but then noticed the suture scars on the corpse’s neck.

"What is this?" Song Lin asked with curiosity.

"The dog-headed Taoist Soldier I’m developing," Ziyuan stepped forward, took out a Mica Ganoderma Pill, and threw it into the center of the blood pool.

Soon, the pill dissolved, merging into the dog-headed corpse’s body, making its skin turn rosy, showing signs of revival.

"This was discovered by Lord Ziyuan in ancient texts. The dog-headed Taoist possesses the ability to burrow through the earth, Yin Yang Eyes, fire breathing, and wind blowing." Tongshou Taoist explained on the side.

Piles of broken corpses and organs lay around the blood pool, suppressed with talismans to prevent Corpse Qi leakage.

A thick ledger lay on the altar.

"I see."

Song Lin glanced at it, the ledger contained messy notes, likely key points and methods for creating the dog-headed Taoist.

There were hundreds of paths, indicating the research was not yet complete.

Ziyuan suddenly spoke:

"Do you know why I value you? The Mica Ganoderma Pill nourishes blood and stabilizes the body. The dog-headed Taoist Soldier is an ancient Taoist Soldier. If it can be successfully revived, imagine the profit."

"I will certainly do my utmost to refine pills for you, Taoist."

Song Lin replied with a smile.

Offering unsolicited kindness is the most terrifying, since you don’t know what the other party wants.

The strongest relationship between people is not sworn oaths. Family and friendship can both collapse; mutually beneficial relationships are often the sturdiest.

Seeing this, Song Lin finally felt at ease.

"You two may leave first, Song Lin will receive the Grand Commissioner Talisman and Cultivation Technique tomorrow, then come to collect the estate deed."
