Volume 1 Uncle Nine's World Chapter 18: The Yellow-skinned Man Asks for a Title
Moreover, the advantage of corpse-carrying is that it is stable. The corpse-carrying industry in Xiangzhou has been going on for hundreds of years and has never been interrupted. In other words, as long as you are carrying corpses, you will make a lot of money, and there is no danger of catching ghosts and exorcising demons.
As for catching ghosts, even though you made thirty dollars this time, it's not something you'll encounter often.
Moreover, not everyone can give so much. The Li family is well-off, so they can give more. If they meet a poor family, they will probably just accept a little as a token of their appreciation, or even give a meal to them and be done with it.
Thinking about it this way, Jiale finally understood why Simu would rather drive corpses than do any work.
Moreover, seeing how poor and petty Uncle Jiu was, and how Simu had saved up a box of gold bars within just a few years after he came down the mountain, Jiale understood a lot more and realized that corpse-carrying was still a lucrative business.
After delivering the corpse, there was still a long way to go to Yuyin Mountain. Jiale hurried as fast as he could but still couldn't get home before dark.
Besides, there is no village in front and no shop behind. It seems that I can only travel at night and go home early.
On the forest path.
The bright moon and sparse stars made Jiale miss the scenery of his previous life. Although he was alone in his previous life, he had several good friends with whom he could drink and several girlfriends with whom he could play. He didn't know how they were doing now.
He shook his head and decided not to think about it anymore. This life was the life he wanted, and it was much more interesting than his previous life.
At this moment, a dark shadow suddenly jumped out from the woods next to it.
Jiale was also startled and quickly took a few steps back, grabbing a few talismans in his hand. Looking carefully, he found that it was actually a weasel half a person's height. Some spiritual energy could be seen in its eyes, and it was obviously a spirit.
When he met Jiale's eyes , he actually bowed awkwardly.
"My friend, do I look like a human being?"
Jiale's eyes narrowed when he heard that. He actually encountered a yellow-skinned guy asking for a title!
This matter is not simple. In fact, the so-called yellow-skinned man asking for a title is a great calamity that a weasel that has practiced for a hundred years has to go through when it is about to transform.
This calamity is not like the calamity of heaven and earth that cultivators encounter when they advance to the Divine Transformation Realm, but a calamity of man.
Humans are the leaders of all spirits, so after monsters transform, they all transform into human form, and weasels are no exception. Among many monsters, weasels are considered to have high spirituality, and seeking titles is the bloodline magical power of their clan. As long as they succeed in seeking titles, they can transform more perfectly than other monsters, and their potential will be greater in the future.
But asking for a title is not something you can do casually. You have to find the right person. You should know that if a yellow-skinned man succeeds in asking for a title, it will be perfect, but if he fails, all his hundred years of cultivation will be ruined.
Jiale guessed that the yellow fox in front of him saw that Jiale was about thirteen or fourteen years old and thought that Jiale was easy to fool. As long as he performed well, it might just say that he was a human being out of joy. Compared with others, the success rate was higher.
However, Jiale was in a bit of a dilemma at this time.
In fact, this yellow-skinned man asking for a title is not a good thing for them, the monks.
It is easy to say that he is a human being, but once you say it, the cause and effect have been established. The yellow-skinned man has changed his form because of you. Even if he depends on you in the future, you need to take the trouble to provide for him. He will also protect you and ensure your wealth. This is naturally a good thing for ordinary people, but not for Jiale.
Cultivators have always relied on themselves and never relied on external things. Jiale must be crazy to find an ancestor to worship for himself. What's more, Jiale feels that he has a bright future and does not need the protection of this yellow-skinned man. The most important thing is that he is a disciple of Maoshan. If Simu knew that he had invited a yellow fairy, he would probably beat him to death for disgracing his master.
The lineage of summoning immortals is also well-known in the world of cultivation, and the most famous is the Five Immortals of the Northeast.
However, in the eyes of Maoshan, these five immortals are not of high rank and are just unorthodox. If they do not follow the right path and take the unorthodox path , they will surely be punished.
Furthermore, the nature of a demon is very difficult to determine. If the yellow-skinned creature in front of you transformed because of you, then the cause and effect will be determined. If this yellow-skinned creature kills or harms others in the future, you will be considered a part of the cause and effect. This means that you are not just finding an ancestor, but also acting as a door-to-door nanny.
Thinking of this, Jiale no longer wanted to say that he was a human being.
However, directly refusing and destroying its hundred-year cultivation is not an option. Weasels are very troublesome and are often not alone. They all have their own families. What's more, this weasel has been practicing for a hundred years. Compared with the cultivators, it is equivalent to the peak of the Refining Essence Realm. It is not even known whether it has any elders at home. Destroying its hundred-year cultivation will lead to a feud that will last until one of us dies.
It would be easy for Jiale to kill it now that its Taoism is destroyed, but if he kills the young one, the old one will come, and in the end he may even become enemies with the entire Huangpizi lineage.
It’s not that I’m afraid, but it’s not worth it.
It is neither should nor should it be. This is why practitioners hate yellow-skinned foxes. This yellow-skinned fox is the same. It has no eyesight at all.
Forget it, just ignore it and bypass it.
If you can't afford to provoke someone, you can always avoid him.
Thinking of this, Jiale directly controlled his energy through his feet, rushed forward, and directly avoided the yellow-skinned beast.
The yellow fox was also surprised when he sensed Jiale's aura, but after a moment's thought, he became a little excited.
He was about to catch up immediately. Jiale was a little annoyed when he saw this scene, but he did not stop. After careful calculation, he found that the essence in his body was enough to support him to return to the courtyard in Yuyin Mountain without the risk of being caught up.
In this way, Jiale and Huangpizi chased each other, and Jiale only breathed a sigh of relief when he saw his own yard.
He opened the door and entered the yard directly, then locked the gate tightly. The yellow-skinned man was still not giving up and was trying to find a way to get into the yard, but suddenly a red light appeared in the yard, and the yellow-skinned man exclaimed in surprise.
"Maoshan!"
As if he had thought of something, a hint of fear flashed across the yellow-skinned man's eyes. He looked at the gate with some reluctance. He hesitated for a while, and finally left.
When Jiale saw this scene, he finally breathed a sigh of relief. He didn't expect this yellow-skinned guy to be so difficult to deal with.
Simu hasn't come back yet. When he comes back, I will ask him what happened.
Having relied on his energy to travel the whole way, the energy in his body was almost exhausted. He was physically and mentally exhausted, and Jiale didn't want to practice to restore his energy. He simply took a shower, ate something, and went to bed directly.
On the second day, I opened my eyes when the sun was at noon.
I have to say, it was a really good sleep. It’s not that you can’t sleep outside, but it’s impossible to sleep soundly. After all, if you are not careful when you are away from home, you may get betrayed without knowing what happened.
Only after returning home can you rest in peace.
The essence in the body has been restored a little. In fact, it is not only the practice of Maoshan Body Tempering Fist that can restore the essence. The spiritual energy is gathering towards the human body all the time. It’s just that people who have no foundation in practice cannot absorb it at all, and it finally flows away. Jiale is different. In the middle stage of the Essence Refining Realm, he has already begun to absorb the spiritual energy independently. Of course, the efficiency is definitely not as good as that of active practice.
After washing up and coming to the yard, Jiale began to practice boxing. After a round of Maoshan Body-Building Boxing, he directly entered the unknown space.
A blue energy bead that was smaller than a glass ball appeared in front of Jiale. Jiale knew that this should be what he got from killing the little ghost at Li's house.
However, this time Jiale did not absorb it directly, but started to practice boxing to restore his energy.
Gradually he came to understand that the purpose of absorbing the energy beads was to first restore one's essence and then to improve one's cultivation. The first time he absorbed the energy beads, there was some waste.
After an unknown amount of time, his essence was finally restored. When all five essences were complete, Jia Le lightly tapped the energy bead in front of him that was only half the size of a glass bead.
