My Ability Pool is Superior-Chapter 138 - 137: Master Bai the Fourteenth

A fox’s cry echoed, sounding particularly eerie in the dead of night.

The already panicked villagers were further frightened into scattering in all directions, causing chaos.

A disheveled farm woman was kicked to the ground by Lv Bai, rolling twice before getting up with fox-like facial fur growing on her face.

Master Tao snapped back to reality, nervously bowing to Lv Bai.

"Thank you, Young Master Lv, for your rescue."

Lv Bai returned a gentle smile, then asked.

"Can you handle this?"

Truth be told, he had no experience dealing with these strange Immortals, so he had to rely on the professionals.

Moreover, the situation was indeed not optimistic.

It was noticeable that although the three apprentices on the side temporarily trapped the ash-gray fox with incense, as soon as the incense burned out, they would surely face revenge from the ash-gray fox.

And this Fox Immortal in front of him didn’t seem like a friendly character.

Realizing this, Master Tao stopped hesitating, gritting his teeth: "There’s another method, could you please protect me while I perform it, Young Master Lv?"

Lv Bai nodded: "Then hurry up."

He didn’t have a way to deal with Immortals, but felt confident in buying some time.

Receiving the response, Master Tao acted with precision and fluidity.

He sat cross-legged, pulling from his bag a nearly twenty-centimeter-long white thorn, biting it with his teeth at his lips.

He placed a ceramic bowl before him, cut his fingertip with a dagger, flicked a few drops of fresh blood into the bowl, then added a piece of smoked meat, finally lighting three sticks of incense before the bowl.

With the preparations complete, Master Tao’s expression turned solemn: "To all ancestors, I sit in the center, with words to speak to you. Each household has their own divine tablet, the path of Immortal cultivation is not easy, do not let evil thoughts corrupt your practice..."

Lv Bai glanced at him but didn’t pay much attention, focusing mainly on the Fox Immortal in front.

Fortunately, the opponent couldn’t discern Lv Bai’s background and didn’t rashly attack.

He was happy with this, hoping to directly confront until Master Tao finished his work.

However, the farm woman seemed to understand what Master Tao was doing, suddenly pulling off her blouse.

She giggled sweetly: "Why the trouble, Young Master? It’s not our first encounter."

"Something like that," Lv Bai casually replied.

The farm woman sobbed, occasionally taking a few steps toward Lv Bai’s position.

"We have no enmity, why not spare me?"

Lv Bai twisted his neck, taking a step toward the farm woman proactively.

Without any special display, he effectively halted the Fox Immortal.

"Young Master, you just know how to bully me."

The farm woman cried pitifully but didn’t dare to make a move.

It’s simply because she couldn’t comprehend what Lv Bai was about.

He looked like just an ordinary human, yet couldn’t be enchanted, and exuded a fearless attitude—which didn’t make sense.

Delaying for this time, it was enough for Master Tao’s trance to be realized.

"... The Star Guide Fortune Star shines, the future fruit fills the hall."

Master Tao bit tightly on the thorn in his mouth: "Fourteenth Master, please come out, I need to talk to you."

The next second, his head suddenly dropped, halted abruptly before hitting the incense.

"Ji-ji~"

Master Tao jerkily lifted his head, making an odd sound, grumbling with annoyance: "Calling me so late, I’ll definitely have a word with you another day."

Lv Bai quietly stepped aside, giving the stage to these Immortals.

"Master Tao" remained sitting cross-legged, craning his head to and fro: "No wonder you called me, still two from the Hu Sect, ji-ji~

Thus, the two Great Immortals came in, probably not understanding the rules here. Today, I must clarify to the two Great Immortals.

This place is Master Bai the Fourteenth’s territory; if the Great Immortals retreat now, we can live peacefully. We can have the Incense Master offer incense for the two, courteously sending the two away."

Most villagers hid in their houses, locking their doors.

The surroundings grew quiet, with only the wind making the wooden fence creak slightly.

The incense held by the three apprentices had already burned out, holding their breaths without daring to gasp.

The ash-gray fox leaped beside the farm woman, growling at Master Tao.

Seeing the two Fox Immortals unwilling to retreat, "Master Tao" stayed seated, slightly changing his tone.

"If the two insist on becoming enemies..."

Weirdly, the temperature dropped, chilling exposed skin increasingly till it felt creepy. 𝚏𝕣𝕖𝚎𝚠𝚎𝚋𝚗𝐨𝐯𝕖𝕝.𝕔𝐨𝕞

The two Fox Immortals exchanged glances, seemingly making a firm decision.

They both emitted a chilling howl, kicking up a storm of sand and stone.

Shielded by a barrage of sand, accompanied by sinister laughter, the ash-gray fox charged at Master Tao first.

The farm woman followed closely, her fingernails lengthening, and faintly visible were claw-like shadows comparing on her hands.

However, Master Tao didn’t even stand up, pulling two strands of hair from his head, spreading them in his palm and blowing gently.

Under Lv Bai’s somewhat surprised gaze, those two strands of hair shot out, growing in the wind.

Unerringly, they pierced the two Fox Immortals.

The ash-gray fox immediately collapsed, twitching twice, then lifeless.

The farm woman also fell, a white shadow shot from her head, hurrying toward the village outskirts.

A strand of hair detached from the farm woman’s body, relentlessly chasing the white shadow, piercing it.

"I advised kindly, yet you did not listen."

Master Tao shook his head.

Strictly speaking, the Incense Head Immortal was only a rough summary, with noticeable discrepancies within.

Set up an altar, install a shrine, paint portraits.

Generally, having an Incense Master create an altar makes one an Altar Immortal, though if one’s Taoist practice is insufficient, forcibly having a shrine might be suppressive.

Don’t be misled by Master Bai the Fourteenth’s remotely governed territory, his title alone indicates his high rank.

Among his hall, the altar-immortal trio setup is complete, advancing further would mean building temples and Immortal halls.

His advanced Taoist practice allows him to handle two rogue Wild Immortals masterfully.

Master Tao picked up the smoked meat from the ceramic bowl, sniffing disdainfully.

Casually throwing away the smoked meat, plotting to leave, he stopped inexplicably noticing Lv Bai eating melon on the side.

With a somewhat assessing gaze, he sized up Lv Bai, his eyes brightening with each look.

"What’s your name, kid?"

Lv Bai mentioned his name, feeling a bit confused, but Master Tao already knew, so no point in hiding.

Unexpectedly, hearing his name, "Master Tao" beamed with joy.

"Lv Bai, good name, you and I are fated..."

He wanted to chat more, but his face twitched, helplessly saying: "If I stay here any longer, this kid’s body might not hold up. Let’s do this, tomorrow come with this kid to my dojo, and let’s have a good talk."
