Start as a Temple Spirit

Chapter 116 Taoist Priest Xuanzhen

In the Forgotten Temple, the old patriarch, who was lying dead, suddenly heard Shang Liangshan's voice in his ear: "Old patriarch, the elders of Xuanxu Sect are here, accompanied by the fifth and eighth elders."

When Taoist Xuanzhen crossed the river, Shang Liangshan, who was in the Taoist temple outside Huawai, felt it.

This is the effect caused by the aura of a strong person.

"Bang!" Upon hearing this, the old patriarch stood up from his chair abruptly and walked briskly towards the temple gate, leaving behind a sentence: "The old man will go to greet them first, Liangshan, you hold your ground first."

"Old Patriarch, wait for Xiaoli." The diplomat Xiaoli ran out of the Forgotten Temple.

Faced with a powerful figure like the elder of Xuanxu Sect, someone from Shang Liangshan's lineage must go to greet him to show their respect for the guest.

When Taoist Xuanzhen, Yihuo and Yiliu were chatting and laughing as they approached the village gate, they heard the old patriarch's enthusiastic greeting: "It is a sin for us not to welcome you, a distinguished guest. Yiwu greets Taoist priest."

"Xiao Li greets the Taoist priest." Xiao Li and the old patriarch stood in front of the village gate and saluted Taoist priest Xuan Zhen.

"Hello, two young friends." Taoist Master Xuanzhen stopped to return the greeting with a smile on his face. He was really approachable.

"Chief, don't be so literary. The Taoist priest is very straightforward, just like Taoist priest Liu." Yihuo said carelessly.

"Haha, Young Master Yihuo is right. Young Master Yiwu should not be polite to this old Taoist." Taoist Master Xuanzhen laughed heartily.

"Haha, since the Taoist priest has said so, then I will reveal my true nature. I am a rough man. Please come into the village, Taoist priest." Yiwu made a gesture of invitation.

"Yes," Taoist Xuanzhen nodded, and without any hesitation, he walked towards the village gate.

Xiaoli jumped onto Yiliu's shoulder and looked at him curiously, not putting on any airs like Taoist Xuanzhen.

"I'll give you a fruit." Taoist Xuanzhen happily threw a red fruit to Xiaoli.

"Thank you, Taoist priest." The little fox took the fruit and thanked him, his fox eyes turning into crescents.

The fruit that the Taoist priest sells must be extraordinary, and the core must be kept for seeds.

"No thanks, no thanks. Your clan has a demon king who is the guardian beast of our Xuanxu Sect." Taoist Xuanzhen said affably.

"It seems that the Xuanxu Sect and our Forgotten Township have a strong affinity." The old patriarch said happily.

"That's true. The Xuanxu Sect established Xuanyuan in your village, which is a predetermined fate." Taoist Xuanzhen said this, looked at the old clan leader and asked: "Friend Yiwu, according to Xiaoweizi, your village has produced a top-grade water spirit root. Is it true?"

"It is indeed true. One top-grade water spiritual root, one high-grade thunder spiritual root, and three medium-grade thunder spiritual roots." Yiwu said truthfully.

"Okay, okay, okay." Taoist Master Xuanzhen said okay repeatedly upon hearing this.

"Master Taoist, since you know this, why don't you take Mo'er as your disciple?" Yihuo asked curiously.

"I am afraid of being beaten by the Supreme Elder, but I can try to get high-quality thunder spiritual roots." Taoist Xuanzhen said, stroking his beard.

"Being beaten? No way." Yihuo said in surprise.

"You've been beaten many times before, right?" Taoist Xuanzhen asked with a smile.

"Hmm" Yihuo subconsciously looked at the old patriarch.

"Haha, isn't that right? As long as our elders are around, we, as younger generations, are all children." Taoist Master Xuanzhen said happily.

In response to this, Yihuo nodded repeatedly and subconsciously looked at the old patriarch again, making the latter want to kick him in the ass.

"Little Li has no elders." Little Li, holding the red fruit and smelling the fragrance, said sadly.

"Yes, but the clan rules of your Nine-Tailed Clan are a bit strict, so you can let them go at level two and secretly watch over them until they reach level three." Taoist Xuanzhen shook his head.

He also did not understand the cruel free-range rules of the nine-tailed fox clan.

"When will Xiaoli be able to meet the elders of the clan?"

"At the peak of level six, the tribesmen will come to find you. Xiaoli, you must practice hard and advance to the peak of level six as soon as possible."

"Hmmmm," Xiaoli nodded repeatedly.

"Don't be sad, Xiaoli, your Uncle Huo is here." Yihuo said, patting his chest.

"Well, Uncle Huo is the best. Don't steal Xiaoli's fruits from now on." As soon as Xiaoli said this, the old patriarch and the others were happy.

"Uncle Huo is helping you taste the fruit to see if it's sweet." Yihuo said righteously.

In response to this, the little fox made a "crunch" sound and started eating the fragrant fruit.

In front of the gate of the Forgotten Temple, Shang Liangshan bowed to Taoist Xuanzhen and said, "Liangshan greets Taoist."

"This old Taoist priest greets fellow Taoist Liangshan." Taoist Priest Xuanzhen returned the greeting and looked at Shang Liangshan curiously.

"This is a simple temple, so I can only offer you some coarse tea, Taoist priest. I hope you can forgive me." Shang Liangshan made a gesture of invitation.

"You are too polite, fellow Taoist." Taoist Master Xuanzhen said politely and walked towards the temple.

The rustling sound of the elf butterflies is flying in the yard, as if welcoming guests.

Taoist Xuanzhen looked at the golden-winged black-bodied fairy butterfly and said to Shang Liangshan, "Daoyou Liangshan, if you have the ability, try to cultivate a fourth-level fairy butterfly from these fairy butterflies. You will have unexpected gains."

"Master, do you have any training methods?" Shang Liangshan asked expectantly.

"The method of cultivating the spirit butterfly is only known to the Beast Tamer Sect. It is the Beast Tamer Sect's top secret."

"Level 4 Elf Butterfly, has a special talent?"

"Hmm." Taoist Xuanzhen sat down at the tea table at Shang Liangshan's invitation. He glanced at the Elf Butterfly and said to everyone, "The fourth-level Elf Butterfly is a plant master. It has a healing aura and can also set up flower formations to appease monsters."

"Of course this was revealed to the public by the Beast Taming Sect. Only they know the specific talents."

"Have other forces ever thought about cultivating the elf butterflies?" asked the old patriarch.

“I’ve thought about it, but it’s too difficult to break the racial restrictions. So far, only the Beast Taming Sect has succeeded.” Taoist Xuanzhen said after taking a sip of tea.

"Let it be. Forcing it will only backfire." Shang Liangshan shook his head.

He would not experiment with the Fairy Butterfly.

"Fellow Taoist Liangshan's character is truly in line with my Taoist thought." Taoist Priest Xuanzhen praised.

"Master, just call me Liangshan."

"Then I will respectfully obey your orders."

"Master, can you tell Liangshan how many fellow disciples you met when you were traveling in the Shiwanda Mountains?"

"Of course." Taoist Priest Xuanzhen talked about the temple spirits he had seen in the Ten Thousand Mountains.

At the same time, Yiliu also reported to the old patriarch the information about the bandit invasion that Taoist Xuanzhen had mentioned when he came.

Taoist Xuanzhen also took a quick look at the situation of the bandits. The information he had was naturally just a rough estimate, just like how humans see ants.

So the old patriarch called out Heizi to go and check the enemy situation.

Because there was a sixth-rank evil cultivator, Shang Liangshan was afraid that Heizi would be in danger, so he put the purple shadow chain around his neck and let him go to check the enemy situation.

Taoist Xuanzhen saw this scene and couldn't help but exclaimed: "Liangshan, you are really blessed. Not only do you have the Taoist robes bestowed by heaven and earth, but you also have two companion spiritual tools. I really envy you."

"Master, you are joking. As a elder of Xuanxu Sect, you must have no shortage of spiritual weapons." Shang Liangshan said with a smile.
