Chapter 99: Granted the Eighth Rank, Taoist Name Chongyang

The moon is bright and the stars are sparse, and magpies are flying around.

Under the huge statues of the three kings, flames shot up into the sky, illuminating the surroundings like daylight.

The fire is an altar.

There were many figures around the altar, ghosts holding white lanterns patrolling back and forth in the sky, and a one-horned evil ghost that was a hundred feet tall.

Among the crowd, there was a monk with a hideous face and a demon's head in a human body.

General Yin represents ghosts, Lord Xiong Shan represents monsters, and Mr. Te represents corpses.

Around the altar, Xu Yang saw Taoist Zhigang, who was wearing a luxurious robe and standing next to a three-eyed Taoist.

The three-eyed Taoist also looked over at this time.

In an instant, Xu Yang seemed to see a mountain, high up, unreachable, or as gloomy and unfathomable as the underworld.

This person's eyes seem to be able to control ghosts and gods.

Xu Yang knew that this person should be the heir of General Yin's lineage and the head of Sanjun County Palace, Taoist Shenmu.

Standing next to Shenmu were several monks with different temperaments.

Xu Yang even saw Bai Long and Zhao Xianglu.

"It is rumored that the three lords and six sons are all great elixir cultivators. Now that their divine eyes have broken through, doesn't that mean there is one spiritual embryo and five great elixir cultivators? The foundation of the Three Lords County Palace is indeed profound."

Xu Yang couldn't help but sigh.

Soon, they walked to the altar.

With every step he took, Xu Yang released his hidden aura.

The body is clear and bright, and the innate yin-yang eyes are azure.

The more hidden ghosts, demons, evil spirits, and restrictions are all clearly visible.

The originally careless crowd, even the Taoist with divine eyes, showed a hint of surprise in their eyes.

"Zhi Gang, your disciple is indeed extraordinary, at least a mid-level genius of the Earth Class."

"As far as corpse-driving is concerned, my disciple is at least a top-notch one."

The way the fire sign king evaluates genius also affects them.

Of course, Zhigang is the only one who thinks so.

The standard for a top-level genius is very strict. A genius of this level is one who is stunningly talented at first glance, a pillar of the future, and the kind that cannot be hidden even if one intends. The Fire Sign Palace will send someone to pick them up as soon as possible.

"Disciple greets Master, Master Shenmu..."

Xu Yang came to the crowd and greeted them one by one.

There were quite a lot of people coming to this banquet for accepting disciples and promoting their rank, after all, they were the second generation of disciples.

The first generation starts from the headmaster and the elders.

Further down the line, their disciples are called the second generation.

The disciple's grandson is the third generation.

The Zhao Xianglu and Jin Jun that Xu Yang came into contact with were both third generation, and Bai Long was second generation.

The second generation of disciples has not been accepted for many years. The last young second generation disciple, Bai Long, was over eighty years ago.

As time passed, almost all those who did not enter the first stage died, and those who survived were all in the first stage.

The second generation disciples have now become the backbone.

Since Xu Yang became a second-generation disciple, naturally many people came to join in the fun out of curiosity.

The Taoist boy put a golden Bagua robe on Xu Yang. The robe was painted with mountains, trees, sun, moon and stars. Under the firelight, it was colorful and luxurious.

Suddenly, a pine forest appeared on the horizon, like a mirage. The clouds turned into a pine forest. A crane flew out of the forest and turned into a white-haired Taoist priest.

"County magistrate, sir!"

The moment the old Taoist appeared, everyone bowed to him.

This is the head of the Saga County Palace and the governor of Dijie County.

"Fellow Daoist Shenmu, congratulations!" Song He stepped forward and saluted with a smile on his face.

"It's just luck. Thanks to my fellow Taoist, I'm in danger of getting into this place."

The two exchanged pleasantries.

Except for the Zhang family, most of the forces sent disciples to congratulate at the disciple-recruiting ceremony.

Taoist Songhe looked at Xu Yang. He was so cruel that he couldn't react.

Although the process was wrong, the purpose of provoking the relationship between the Zhang family and the Sanjun County Palace was achieved.

Soon, the apprenticeship ceremony began.

Xu Yang handed in his French citizenship.

Shenmu stamped the seal belonging to the Sanjun County Palace in two copies and burned the other copy for the Sanjun spirits.

Afterwards, Taoist Songhe personally promoted him to a higher rank and bestowed upon him the ordination certificate.

"The Fire King, the rank of Heaven. He controls the power of the 800-li Yinshan Mountain, controls the powerful demons, and chases the monsters of the meteors. Please give the seal to help the Taoist Xu Yang of Gaoshan Yizhuang in Quhuang County, Dijie County, to become a citizen!"

call! !

The fire clouds burned the sky, and the world seemed like a furnace. The red light illuminated an area of ​​hundreds of miles.

There is no image of the Fire King this time.

Only one ray of light fell on France.

Taoist Songhe picked up the book, walked up to Xu Yang, and returned it personally.

"Congratulations on becoming the master of one of the twenty-six counties in Dijie County. All the spiritual fields have been recovered. There is a stream of energy on it. When you return, you can communicate with the energy with your mind and release fifty acres of spiritual fields."

With fifty acres of spiritual fields, one can recruit three ninth-rank disciples, control a county, and be qualified to participate in the surrounding wild resources.

This is the power of an eighth-rank Taoist priest, the master of a county temple.

Of course, from Xu Yang's point of view, the Fire King seemed a little stingy. The spiritual fields bestowed by the Fire King were natural things of heaven and earth, and he should be given a little more salary.

After the promotion and confirmation of the rank, there is another task to be done, which is to enter it into the family tree.

A name, date of birth, and even a Taoist name are required.

"Do you have a Taoist name?" Zhi Gang asked.

"I haven't taken a Taoist name yet, please give me a name, Master."

"Okay." Taoist Zhigang thought for a moment, "How about taking a character from the name, Taoist name Chongyang?" "Okay, thank you Master for the name!"

Although he felt that this Taoist name was strange, Xu Yang couldn't refute Taoist Zhigang's opinion in front of so many people, so he readily accepted it.

This number won't be used very often.

I have always used my real name, Xu Yang, and people outside have gotten used to calling me that. I guess I would only use this Taoist name in formal occasions.

"Chongyang, it sounds acceptable. It has the same name as a certain big shot." Xu Yang repeated it a few times and didn't find it strange anymore.

At least it sounds better than Jiuyou or Wugui. A Taoist name is sometimes a facade. A good Taoist name can instantly make people feel more favorable towards it.

Soon, they were officially admitted and everyone came up one by one to congratulate them.

"Congratulations, fellow Taoist!" Bai Long said with a smile.

A young man with skin as white as jade stepped forward to congratulate: "Mr. Xiong Shan, Gu Yuchan, I have long heard of your great name!"

Zhi Gang introduced Xu Yang on the side.

Gu Yuchan, a genius of the younger generation of Xiong Shanjun, is one of the second-generation disciples with the greatest hope of entering the Great Dan realm.

Zhao Xianglu and Jin Jun stepped forward, both with embarrassed looks on their faces, and under Xu Yang's expectant gaze, they said the words "Uncle Master".

After the pleasantries, Xu Yang and Zhi Gang arrived at the forest of corpses.

The bamboo forest of corpses seemed like a living thing. When Xu Yang came, the bamboo swayed and a depressing breath came to his face.

"Don't move, this is the young master." Taoist Zhigang shouted.

In an instant, all the bamboos bent down.

Xu Yang looked around. The yin energy in this place was extremely heavy. All the birds flying in the sky and the fish swimming in the water were zombies.

The two came to the cottage by the lake.

In front of us, six zombies were swimming in the water filled with extremely yin energy.

"From now on, you can do your own things. If you don't understand something, you can ask me. I won't interfere too much."

"Most of the methods in the book are simple ones. You can exchange them as needed and buy some materials with merit. For the real good things, you have to deal with the major sects in person and buy them with merit."

"Do you see the room on the side?" Following the Taoist Zhigang's gaze, there was indeed a room. "It contains the secret techniques that I have collected throughout my life. You can check it out at will. If it is another method of the county palace, you will have to pay for it."

"understood."

"Haha, I'm going to sew the corpse now." Taoist Zhigang patted Xu Yang's shoulder and left with a smile.

Xu Yang smiled. Taoist Zhigang was indeed casual.

Pushing open the door, you will see rows of books on the bookshelf.

There are the insights and experiences of Taoist Zhigang, or the method of refining a certain zombie, as well as various secret techniques.

There is an advanced version of the candlelight technique called "True Fire Technique of the Netherworld", as well as many other miscellaneous techniques with other attributes, but except for the Yin attribute spells, the others are relatively ordinary.

After all, Zhi Gang is not a person who specializes in practicing water and fire magic, and he does not have any talent in this area.

"This method of the forest of bones is quite good."

The forest of bones is the bamboo forest just now. It is made by combining the ancient tear bamboo and the Taiyin corpse refining formation.

Xu Yang imagined that if he modified the plant zombies and integrated them into the corpse forest formation, and then controlled them by himself or the land old man, wouldn't he be able to throw mushrooms anytime and anywhere, and the mushrooms would be able to develop consciousness and automatically track him?

The previous battles exposed the flaws of plant zombies, which is that they are very strong in defending their territory but lack the ability to attack.

Plant zombies are much cheaper than bat zombies, but bat zombies can track automatically.

So bat zombies still have the advantage.

"Keep it for now, and ask Master later."

In addition, there are also spoils of war collected when fighting with others. These skills do not belong to the Taiyin system, so they do not have the insights of Taoist Zhigang.

One of them attracted Xu Yang's attention.

"The Hundred Poison Techniques of Yinshan Blood"

"Gushu..." Xu Yang silently recited the name of this technique.

The unorthodox method of witchcraft is well-known.

It even covers a wider range than the art of corpse-driving and is on par with the art of raising ghosts.

It is a relatively independent system among the unorthodox techniques, and most people cannot learn it.

Originally, Xu Yang was thinking about joining the county palace and practicing the art of raising ghosts.

Now that he saw this witchcraft, he immediately changed his mind.

“It’s not bad to practice this method.”

Xu Yang wrote down this thick secret book.

Then he walked out and asked about the method of cultivation in the Forest of Corpses.

"This method is extremely difficult to practice. You either need to find conscious plants as the centerpiece of the formation, or awaken the consciousness of trees through blood sacrifices." Zhi Gang pointed casually.

"Plants with consciousness?" Xu Yang thought of the Banyan God. The Banyan God might be the core of the Corpse Forest.

If this is the case, the banyan god needs to be moved from the mountains to the city.

There is nothing wrong with doing this.

"That's it."

Xu Yang said goodbye to Zhi Gang and took a carriage back to the charity cemetery.

The carriage was running fast, and his heart was running even faster.

Here, fly out of the carriage and summon the Golden-eyed Eagle.

Phew! ! !
The Taoist rode the divine beast straight into the sky.

The wind was howling and the scenery on both sides was flying by.

Defeat the barbarian Buddha, kill the Zhang family, enter a wealthy family, and become the master of a temple.

In a short period of time, he experienced countless dangerous things.

Finally, he reached a higher level and became the master of Jiuyou Temple.

The sky is high enough for birds to fly, and the sea is wide enough for fish to leap.

So what if I offend the other two powerful men? Life is all about struggle. If I want to make progress, I will definitely offend them. Even the people of the Three Lords may become stepping stones in the future.
