Chapter 186 Luo Tian Ceremony, Alternative Seventy-two Transformations

Ten years passed in a flash.

Quhuang County, the current scale of Quhuang County should be considered as half a county government.

The streets are crisscrossed, people are peaceful and prosperous with rosy faces, merchants from all over the place are coming in and out, and zombies wearing golden armor and full of corpse aura guard every corner of the city.

Everywhere one could see ornately decorated monks mingling among the crowd. The common people were not afraid of them, but simply gave way slightly to show respect.

In the open space of the market town, the coolies who had just unloaded the goods hid in the shade to rest, with their bare chests and sweat flowing on their dark skin.

The man untied the leather bag, took a big gulp of the cheap wine, and let out a long sigh.

"Damn it, what a shitty weather! I'm not going to make this money."

"Hehe, what else can you do if not work as a laborer? You might as well go over there and sign up. You might as well have a chance to become an immortal and never have to work for the rest of your life." The foreman said jokingly, wiping the sweat off his face with a rag.

Following the gazes of the crowd, I saw endless long queues. There were old and young, male and female, rich and poor, noble and social class, all waiting in line obediently.

The monks of Jiuyou County Palace patrolled everywhere and kicked out those who did not follow the rules.

At the beginning of the team, there were temples.

There are only two kinds of temples in Jiuyou County Palace. One is for the Goddess of Life who can cure all diseases, and the other is for the God of Land who protects the house.

The temples address people's most important needs, and as such have remained popular for decades.

People line up in such a long queue not to pray to gods or Buddhas, but to participate in an important ceremony, the annual Luotian Ceremony.

During the Luotian Ceremony, the immortals from the county palace would go down the mountain on a large scale to slay demons and monsters, pray for rain and drive away plague, and pray for healing. Afterwards, they would stay in various temples and recruit disciples.

Everyone is eligible to participate in the selection, and those who successfully pass the selection will become the so-called outer disciples.

Outer disciples usually take on various secular duties, such as day and night patrols, growing medicine and raising fish, transporting and escorting, making fire and fetching water... In short, they do all kinds of menial work. Their salary is usually twenty times that of secular jobs, and they are qualified to learn magic.

Of course, being an outer sect apprentice is not a lifelong commitment. Assessments are conducted approximately every three years, and the bottom 30% of people will be eliminated.

Only when one enters the late stage of Gan Qi can one be qualified to become a permanent outer disciple and be granted a manager position.

Such equal opportunities for everyone and generous rewards naturally attract people from all walks of life.

The man was provoked by the foreman's words and immediately became angry.

"Just go, no one is afraid of whom!"

He also joined the queue, which immediately caused everyone to laugh.

The foreman didn't take it seriously and said to the people around him, "This is the eighth time. I want to see when this guy will give up."

"Boss, don't laugh at me. You've been there ten times, and you still have the nerve to say that."

"roll roll roll."

In the main hall of the temple, the long queues of people did not affect this place, and people still burned incense and worshipped the gods.

The main hall houses a majestic statue of the goddess.

In the back hall, several sickly believers were kneeling in front of the tablet. A woman in Taoist robes and a mask on her head was surrounded by the smoke of sandalwood incense.

“May the heavens and the earth be blessed, may the sky be clear and the earth be peaceful, may you live forever, may the goddess who saves the suffering and saves lives show her power!!”

Wow! !

It was as if time stood still, the green smoke suddenly stagnated and stayed in the air.

Soon, the temperament of the masked female cultivator changed drastically. She was still the same person, but her figure became like a mountain, full of momentum and majesty.

The nun looked at the believer kneeling on the ground and raised a finger.

Whoosh! !

A white light hit the believer who was terminally ill, and a wisp of green smoke flew out from his head, representing that the essence of the plague had been dispelled.

"Thank you, God! Thank you, God!!"

The believers kept bowing to express their gratitude and offering money.

The female cultivator waved her hand and asked her subordinates to take their people away.

After the person left, the female cultivator leaned weakly on the chair.

"This method of spirit writing is very powerful, but it consumes a lot of energy from the cultivator." In the dark, Zhao Ziyan observed the changes in the female cultivator.

The Fuqi method is of great benefit to the gods. By only giving a little bit of true Qi to the cultivators, they can get a large amount of essence that is purer than faith, and it does not affect the gods themselves.

Two years ago, after the temple master learned that the method of summoning gods did not harm the gods, he signed an agreement with the Nuo gods, allowing them to practice the art of fighting, but in exchange, they had to offer the method of supporting the planchette. Xu Yang also paid extra for the Zhang family's Yin Lei method in exchange for a full set of the Nuo god's supporting the planchette method.

Therefore, Taoism has one more method of practice.

Many disciples who met the qualifications turned to practicing the spirit writing method.

Deep in the clouds, Zhao Ziyan was practicing in a palace that seemed real and illusory.

Her gaze was directed downward.

Suddenly, a hole opened up in the void, and inside the dark hole was a bigger world.

There are caves everywhere and palaces everywhere.

An extremely powerful divine thought came over.

Zhao Ziyan felt that some of her strength had been drained away.

Whoosh! !

The true Qi flew out of the body, transformed into a smaller version of himself, and flew into the soldier hiding cave.

Inside the soldier cave.

The five hundred-foot-tall Dharma body has reached the limit of what the world can accommodate. This time the Dharma body is not the traditional Nine-headed Insect Dharma body.

Instead, he was a giant with skin as white as jade, a female appearance and a handsome appearance.

Behind the giant flew Zhao Ziyan's five magic weapons, including bow and arrow, magic mirror, flying knife, etc.

Xu Yang looked around with a hint of surprise in his eyes.

"There is actually this kind of gameplay in the Dharma Realm."

This is probably the only time in history that I have played like this.

This Dharma image used the technique of spirit writing to invite Zhao Ziyan up.

"Based on the Law of Heaven and Earth, and supplemented by other gods, a variety of magical powers can be magnified in this way. Isn't this another kind of 72 transformations?"

Xu Yang said with interest.

"Master, what happened?" At this time, Zhao Ziyan's voice came from the darkness.

"Nothing, just testing some magic."

Soon, Xu Yang canceled the spell, his body gradually shrank, and landed in front of the golden palace.

Close your eyes and carefully feel the results of your ten years of practice.

In the sea of ​​consciousness, the Warring States silk book remained the same as before, but the information on it had changed a lot.

Qigong Master: Xu Yang
Realm: middle stage of Great Dan.

Supernatural powers: Taiyin Dharmakaya, Sanmi Yinkaya, Guishui Nine-headed Body, and the body of an ancient demon.

Spells: Nuo Shen Fuji Spell (minor success 43/3000), Immobilization Spell (perfect), Stone Emperor Curse (perfect), Nine-Headed Treasure Spell (perfect), Law of Heaven and Earth (great success 54/2000), Guishui Yinlei (perfect)
After years of practice, his realm broke through to the middle stage of the Great Dan, and he mastered the Immobilization Technique and the Stone Emperor Curse, and his other spells were also practiced to perfection.

His realm hadn't changed much, but with the increase in his spell proficiency, his current strength was enough to beat ten times his own strength from ten years ago.

"Now you can leave."

Xu Yang took a step forward and the next moment he arrived at the county palace ancestral hall.

A young girl was practicing in the center of the ancestral hall. Her eyes were golden and she looked sacred. Behind her were statues of the Three Gods of Heaven, Earth and Water.

As Xu Yang arrived, Qingping opened her eyes.

"It turned out to be the Palace Master. I was shocked."

“How has it been in the last ten years?”

"It's a long story..."
