Cultivation towards immortality, starting from being a fisherman-Chapter 189 - 134 Demon Girl

Chapter 189: Chapter 134 Demon Girl

Chapter 189 -134 Demon Girl

Green Wood Temple was indeed within Mount Emei.

Yet its fame was far less than those temples and Taoist temples that operated in scenic areas, seemingly bustling with crowds day and night.

Even tourists who opened their maps could not see a Taoist temple in such a place.

But in the cultivation circles, Green Wood Temple was also considered one of the reputable and righteous factions!

Its roots could even be traced directly back to the largest several Taoist lineages from a thousand years ago.

This was evident from the fact that the officials tacitly allowed them to cultivate quietly on the mountain and even provided many conveniences.

Now… the degree of importance had become even deeper and was further strengthened.

On the very night that the incident of an immortal fishing for the fish dragon occurred.

A highly respected Vice President had traveled thousands of miles to Green Wood Temple to see the old temple master.

In the chamber.

The Vice President’s expression was grave as he repeatedly confirmed the confidential content of his conversation with the old temple master.

“Old temple master, such matters cannot be spoken of carelessly!”

“Recklessly using the name of a Taoist True Man can lead to serious problems!”

The Vice President learned from the old temple master that when the Taoist True Man left at dusk, he had secretly whispered to him,

informing the old temple master that the deep pond was the only place of fortune naturally formed over hundreds of years by the extraordinary landscapes of this mountain range.

It was for this reason that he had raised the Big Black Fish there.

Although the black fish has been taken, the fortunate place of the pond is still there.

As long as the old temple master and his people took good care of the Deep Pond without damaging it, they would gradually benefit from it.

And it was possible that, thanks to the blessing of the Deep Pond, they could attract spiritual opportunities!

Becoming an immortal was naturally quite unlikely, but the possibility of enhancing longevity and strengthening the body was still there.

Honestly, when the Vice President first heard this story, the first thing that came to mind was how this venerable old Taoist could also start swindling people?

Not to mention over the years, just these past few months!

As the Vice President, he had heard in the famous temples and Taoist temples of various renowned mountains and rivers.

At least hundreds, if not a thousand, similar or even more exaggerated tales of immortals!

This had almost triggered an automatic reaction in the Vice President!

“Old Chairman Zhang!”

“You know me!”

“If I were willing to exaggerate, would I have stayed in Green Wood Temple for thirty-six years?”

“To obtain the True Skill has been my lifelong dream; how could I engage in such deceptive and disgraceful acts? Deceiving no less than the name of immortals!”

The old temple master felt offended and spoke earnestly:

“I didn’t mention it before when there were many people, for fear that someone would commit a grave mistake out of greed.”

“Now the reason I have conveyed the True Man’s secret message to you, Old Chairman Zhang, is not to claim credit, but because I fear that my own strength alone might miss the opportunity given by the True Man!”

“Chairman!”

“I won’t ask for any favors nor do I need any official recognition; I just want to continue living in Green Wood Temple looking after the Deep Pond!”

“All I seek is to protect this place of fortune!”

The Vice President fell silent for a while, weighing the pros and cons, and reluctantly chose to believe the old temple master’s words.

On one hand, the old temple master had indeed devoted himself to seeking the path of cultivation for several decades, with a disinterest in fame and fortune.

On the other hand, as the old temple master had mentioned, once everyone talked openly about it, if it was a fabrication for fame and fortune, it would be all harm and no good for the old temple master himself!

He could no longer gain specific benefits from telling lies!

That very evening, the Vice President reported the old temple master’s story to his superiors via a secure communication.

Soon after, the superiors made a decision.

It’s better to believe it has truth than to believe it has none.

They would designate Green Wood Temple as one of the new heritage conservation areas, equipped with 24-hour unmanned monitoring and alarm systems.

Meanwhile, a scientific research team would be dispatched to conduct research on the premise of ecological protection.

Additionally, the treatment for Green Wood Temple would remain unchanged!

The Vice President informed the old temple master about the decision from above and privately expressed that the higher-ups still highly supported the old temple master.

As long as the old temple master was willing, he could continue his cultivation at Green Wood Temple, and he could even bring his disciples to the Deep Pond for cultivation.

Clearly, the superiors had also taken into account the Transcendent’s attitude towards the old temple master if the story turned out to be true.

The old temple master, having received what he wanted, thanked him repeatedly and started planning in his mind to take several fellow Daoists with him to cultivate near the Deep Pond the next morning.

Then, the old temple master, who was preparing to change and go to sleep, was suddenly awakened by the ringing of the phone.

He frowned slightly and walked over to the wooden cabinet where the phone was placed to see who it was.

After recognizing the name, the old temple master chuckled twice before answering the call.

“Master! Your disciple misses you!”

“Your disciple wants to return to the temple for cultivation!”

On the phone was the old temple master’s most proud disciple.

He was also designated as his successor ten years ago.

However, as this highly talented disciple grew up, he obviously didn’t plan to stay in Green Wood Temple.

After some activity, the disciple went to a Taoist School in the big city and became a grandmaster in many people’s eyes.

Now, calling in, it was apparent that he had learned something through his own circles.

The old temple master listened quietly to the phone, waiting until the other party rambled on.

He then slowly said:

“Not accepted!”

Without waiting for the other party to reply, he hung up the phone and then blocked the number.

The old temple master wasn’t very interested in electronic products, but he still knew how to use them.

And so.

With Su Ping deliberately catching the Big Black Fish.

This Second Tier Fishing Point near Green Wood Temple.

He had at last received professional protection from the officials.

No longer did he need to worry about any accidents occurring that might inadvertently damage the water and soil of the Deep Pond.

It was just that the young disciples in the temple… clearly would no longer be able to continue their water-carrying exercises.

But Su Ping had not completely lied.

Although the Fishing Point itself did not produce Spiritual Energy,

Su Ping didn’t lack Low Tier Spiritual Objects right now.

Perhaps if Su Ping took a fancy one day, he might really throw in one or two Spiritual Objects to make the story of encountering an Immortal in the mountains come to Perfection.

By then, it would make perfect sense for Green Wood Temple to become another bloodline testing agency point.

…

In the Immortal Cultivation World, Nine Leaf Mountain Workshop.

Su Ping, transformed into White Crane True Man, once again appeared in the workshop to handle affairs.

The appearance of a Foundation Establishment Cultivator immediately provided a much-needed assurance to all parties in the Nine Leaf Mountain Workshop.

A certain Manager who had been waiting eagerly promptly requested an audience with the Workshop Master.

“Hmm? Is that Manager Dongfang?”

Su Ping sat in the reception hall and recalled what he had assigned to him after seeing the name.

He decided to give priority to meeting with Manager Dongfang.

Manager Dongfang was a middle-aged man, a Second Tier Qi Cultivation Loose Cultivator.

He was also considered a veteran in the Nine Leaf Workshop.

It was just that the masters he served had changed rather quickly this year; the White Crane True Man before him was already the third master he had pledged loyalty to.

Upon being summoned, Manager Dongfang quickly bent his back to enter the reception hall.

After bowing deeply, Manager Dongfang held his fists together and said,

“I did not fail the Workshop Master’s command; shortly after I left Cloud Mountain Workshop, I encountered a new West Desert Trading Team.”

“I purchased everything the Workshop Master asked me to and brought it all back safely.”

“It’s just… ”

Manager Dongfang hesitated but still decided not to conceal the matter,

“I’ve spent all the Spirit Stones…”

“Spirit Stones don’t matter, the fact that you were able to settle the matter so quickly shows that you put effort into it,”

Su Ping said with a slight smile,

“Careful work deserves a reward.”

“I’m planning to develop a new district behind the Nine Leaf Mountain Workshop, dedicated to selling some novel items.”

“You’ll be in charge of that area.”

With just a few words, Su Ping issued a reward to the other party and then asked him to bring up the findings from his trip.

Manager Dongfang while letting the twelve demon girls step forward, he recounted what he had seen and heard on his journey.

According to him, this time the West Desert Trading Team did not have many demon girls.

Rumors had it that the sects providing the sources of the demon girls had encountered problems and evil spirits had erupted.

Moreover, many of the demon girls had actually been reserved, and not many were left for open trade.

That’s why he only bought these twelve.

Then there was the recent encounter with a fearsome Sword Cultivator at Cloud Mountain Workshop.

It was said that in that battle, the Sword Cultivator fought alone against three Foundation Establishment Deacons of the Cloud Mountain Workshop.

After fighting all morning, the incident concluded with Cloud Mountain Workshop taking the initiative to apologize.

That Sword Cultivator was rumored to be a True Disciple from the Arrogant Sword Sect of the Southern Desolate region.

And now, the Arrogant Sword Sect had also settled in a nearby workshop and prepared to establish their sect, recruit disciples, and reside there.

Su Ping remained noncommittal about these true and false rumors.

Methods disdained by the Immortal Sect. Those small sects wouldn’t mind using them.

After sending Manager Dongfang away, Su Ping once again surveyed the demon girls in the hall.

Among these twelve, there were five Rabbit Girls, five Cat Women, and two Snake Women.

In terms of appearance, the Rabbit Girls and Cat Women all looked to be around the age of eighteen to twenty-eight.

The Snake Women were older, more like the girl-next-door type.

But aside from their pleasing appearances, these demon girls were like dolls… even less spirited than those high-level puppets.

They seemed to be merely implanted with obedience commands, like puppets.

His Divine Sense, far surpassing the Early Period of Foundation Establishment, swept over these demon girls.

Su Ping discovered that their Divine Souls were not dull due to external ravages but seemed to be inherently flawed!

On the other hand, their bodies showed signs of having been healed or even Enhanced by Spiritual Medicine.

“These demon girls, they seem to be related to the failed experiments of certain sects?”

“They must be trying to fuse the power of demon beast bloodlines into mortals, in an attempt to mass-produce cannon fodder.”

“These demon girls must be the offspring of those failures, second-generation failures!”

“With flawed Divine Souls, they are unable to practice Cultivation and condense Mana; on the other hand, their bodies are better than Martial Artists’, and then there’s their… relatively novel appearances?”

“So, they’ve been discarded and used as merchandise?”

After speculating about the demon girls’ backgrounds and carefully examining whether they had any hidden traps,

Su Ping withdrew his Divine Sense, and reciting the command phrases stated in the manual, he gained the loyalty of these demon girls.

He handed them invitation letters and immediately took them to the Pot Cave Heaven.

With the addition of these twelve maidens,

The Pot Cave Heaven had also gained a bit more liveliness.

Su Ping didn’t need to handle things personally anymore; he could have White Crane Child help him remotely.

Boiling water, cooking, doing odd chores and such, these physically strong demon girls were more than capable.

Additionally, when there were guests, Su Ping felt that he had more options to create an aura of mystery.
