Chapter 17 Two Promotions in Succession, First Encounter with Fahai

Outside Hangzhou, the centipede demon and the toad demon were cursing and swearing at each other.

They complained to each other about how ugly the human forms the other had transformed into.

"You're so ugly, you'd get beaten to death if you went into the city!"

"Nonsense, I've only just mastered the art of transformation, and I'm still quite unfamiliar with it. Besides, you don't need to transform in the mountains. How are you any better than me?"

At that moment, both monsters transformed into human form.

A hunched old man and a disheveled man.

The two blamed each other and walked together toward Hangzhou.

At one point, the two monsters suddenly felt a sharp pain in their chests and their limbs stiffened, making them unable to move.

The scene before my eyes began to spin.

They actually saw their own bodies, and the bowl-sized bloodstain on their necks.

Without any warning, they were decapitated by a single sword strike.

The toad demon and the centipede demon were completely unable to accept the reality before them.

Fear and despair only began to spread when the head flew into the air, the body crashed to the ground, and the field of vision shrank dramatically.

"What's going on...?"

The two monsters will never understand.

After a while, Xu Xian appeared there.

Because his magical power was no longer sufficient to maintain the disguise of the [Small Heavenly Cycle Hidden Technique].

Xu Xian shook his arm, which was numb from the shock, and then raised the Realgar White Sword and stabbed it at the head that had reverted to the shape of a toad and centipede.

Using his last bit of magic, he completely shattered the heads of the two monsters.

Only then did I feel relieved.

[Congratulations to player Xu Xian for slaying a level 21 Toad Demon and a level 21 Centipede Demon, increasing his Dao Qi by 84]

Xu Xian poked the headless corpses of the toad and centipede a few times with his sword and indeed felt hard objects.

Congratulations to player Xu Xian for obtaining the Toad Spirit Demon Core (Green) and the Centipede Spirit Demon Core (Green)!

Holding the two demon cores, Xu Xian felt both satisfied and at ease.

Since he already had enough Dao Qi, he no longer hesitated and advanced two levels.

The level will be directly increased to level 10.

Name: Xu Xian

[Level: 10]

[Physical Fitness: 45]

[Mana: 41]

[Divine Sense: 27]

【Perception: 2】

[Luck: 23]

[Technique: Yin-Yang Harmony Technique (Blue)]

[Supernatural Powers: Small Heavenly Circuit Hibernation Technique (Green), Heart-Piercing Constipation (Green), Listening Wind Break (Green)]

[Treasures: Realgar White Sword (Green), Rat Demon Pouch (Green), Toad Demon Core (Green), Centipede Demon Core (Green)]

[Dao Qi: 59]

With the amount of Dao Qi that Xu Xian currently possesses, he could easily continue to upgrade, but he did not choose to do so.

For ordinary people, level 10 is a watershed moment.

Upon breaking through to level 10, there will be an opportunity for marrow cleansing and bone tempering.

Taking Ganoderma lucidum at this time will maximize its effects.

Let Xu Xian shed his mortal body and obtain a pure body.

Therefore, Xu Xian must break through after the Dragon Boat Festival.

"With less than a month until the Dragon Boat Festival, let's take it easy."

Although Xu Xian planned to speedrun the game, he couldn't find any monsters to practice on recently.

In terms of cultivation level alone, the toad spirit in Hangzhou is the most suitable.

However, because Xu Xian intervened in Bai Suzhen's storyline, the toad demon was beaten up prematurely.

This left even Xu Xian, who was familiar with the plot, unsure of the toad demon's exact location.

Xu Xian returned home, found a recliner and leisurely swayed back and forth, while continuing to deduce the [heart-piercing tuberculosis] in his mind.

Thanks to the [Heart-Piercing Constipation] and [Wind-Listening Break] techniques, Xu Xian was able to paralyze the bodies of two demons in an instant and quickly kill them.

But in reality, the process just now was still dangerous.

With Xu Xian's control over the tuberculosis, he could instantly control dozens of mortals.

But the two monsters are different.

Although they are not strong, they have reached level 21 and are truly transformed demons.

Both its physical strength and magical power far surpass those of a level 20 monster.

They are worlds apart from ordinary mortals.

Xu Xian's Heart-Piercing Constipation only controlled the two demons for a moment before his magical power was exhausted.

He had no choice but to use his remaining magic to unleash a move called [Listening Wind Break].

If these two moves fail, he will have no choice but to flee far away.

Fortunately, it was successful.

"I thought I knew the plot well, and I wanted to speedrun it. I got a little carried away."

"What if we accidentally capsize in a ditch? Wouldn't that be a laughingstock?"

"My mastery of the Heart-Piercing Tuberculosis technique is still in its infancy. It consumes a lot of magical power and is not yet formless or invisible. I need to continue my cultivation."

Xu Xian lay on the bed chair, swaying back and forth, looking relaxed and carefree, but in fact he was not resting at all.

He has been practicing self-cultivation to cure tuberculosis.

Bai Suzhen seemed to sense Xu Xian's state.

After hanging up the clothes, she gracefully sat down next to Xu Xian and began to massage his shoulders with her slender, delicate fingers.

Xiaoqing was so angry she wanted to bite him.

"Sister, you rest, I'll massage him!"

Xiaoqing clenched her fists so tightly they cracked, ready to teach Xu Xian, that lazy bum, a lesson.

Bai Suzhen naturally smiled and refused.

Xu Xian squinted his eyes, enjoying the moment, feeling relaxed and content.

Time slowly passed.

The Xu family's residence maintained a peaceful and happy rhythm.

Bai Suzhen rarely went out, staying at home to be a dutiful wife.

Xu Xian's frequency of going out also decreased sharply.

I practice swordplay every morning and relax in a rocking chair in the afternoon.

Xiaoqing was fine, but she got angry when she saw Xu Xian's lazy appearance, so she didn't stay at home often.

I wander around Hangzhou every day, not really knowing what I'm doing.

On the fourth day of the fifth lunar month, Xu Xian finally took his sword and went out to find Xiao Qing.

Since Fahai has already arrived, Xu Xian cannot allow Fahai to see Xiaoqing beforehand.

After wandering around Hangzhou for a while, Xu Xian waited for Fahai to come to him on his usual route.

Sure enough, I saw Xiaoqing.

"Hey, my wife is looking for you."

"Hmph, I'm not calling you 'Hey'!"

Xiaoqing didn't press the matter and turned to go home.

Xu Xian pretended to be strolling around nearby.

Half an hour later, he suddenly heard the sound of the earth shaking in his mind.

Boom!Boom!Boom!

Xu Xian was so shocked that his head throbbed with pain.

He looked up and saw an old monk with squinting eyes walking towards him step by step.

With each step he took, Xu Xian's soul could feel a tremendous tremor.

That bald monk Fahai actually used Buddhist teachings on a mere mortal like himself.

Forcibly disturbing one's own mind.

If I weren't already a cultivator, I probably would have truly fallen into their trap.

Fahai stepped forward to Xu Xian, clasped his hands together, and said, "Amitabha."

Xu Xian maintained a calm demeanor: "Master."

After saying goodbye, he was about to leave.

Fahai, however, shook his wide cassock and stopped him: "This benefactor is surrounded by demonic energy, indicating that there is a malevolent spirit haunting his home!"

"What nonsense are you spouting, you monk?"

Xu Xian glared fiercely at Fahai and argued, "I only have my wife and sister at home, there are no monsters!"

A chilling light flashed in Fahai's eyes: "It is indeed your wife and sister, both of them snake demons!"

Fahai's voice was rather bland, but to Xu Xian it sounded like a grand and resounding bell.

Coupled with the supernatural power he just displayed, it is enough to affect the mind of any mortal.

Xu Xian kept his composure, but his face showed a mixture of anxiety and anger: "If you, you big monk, keep spouting nonsense, I'll beat you up..."

Halfway through his sentence, Xu Xian's eyes suddenly lit up.

Because he saw the long-lost toad spirit at the street corner.

Wang Daoling!

Xu Xian chuckled inwardly, then pointed at the people of Hangzhou: "Do you, monk, see everyone as a monster? Are they all monsters?"

Fahai, suddenly inspired, looked in the direction Xu Xian was pointing and saw Wang Daoling looking in their direction.

Their eyes met, and the scene became extremely awkward.

"Farewell, benefactor. This old monk is on his way to subdue the demon!"

As he spoke, Fahai headed straight for Wang Daoling.

Wang Daoling was stunned for a moment, feeling that he was extremely unlucky.

He waited anxiously for over a month, but the poison in the mortal still hadn't taken effect.

He could only heal himself with his own essence, and only now can he move with difficulty.

But unexpectedly, he was targeted by the senior monk again.

Wang Daoling glared at the meddlesome Xu Xian, then, no longer caring about the dignity of a Taoist priest, ran away.

Xu Xian then bought a packet of realgar and returned home.

Overnight, the Dragon Boat Festival arrived.

Many things will happen today.

The White Snake transforms into a dragon, Xu Xian's "death," the theft of the immortal herb...
