Volume 1 Uncle Nine's World Chapter 30: Peak of Refining Essence
With a light tap of his fingers, pure energy began to flow again, and the Maoshan Body-Building Fist began to move. The tenth essence, which was only half a step away from condensing, finally showed signs of condensing again.
After an unknown amount of time, Jiale felt his body lighten, and it seemed that his strength had reached a new level.
Sure enough, the tenth essence was condensed and reached the peak of the Essence Refining Realm.
If Simu knew that Jiale condensed three essences in succession and broke through to the peak of the Essence Refining Realm in just one day, he would probably be even more annoyed. However, Simu seemed to have gotten used to it.
Early the next morning, Jiale prepared to set off. Dozens of Li family members came to see him off. The scale of the trip was so large that now everyone in the entire Lijia Village knew the reputation of Taoist Master Sun of Maoshan.
After taking the purse from the eldest uncle of the Li family , Jiale did not forget to give some instructions.
"If there are natural disasters again in the future, we need to pay attention and not take it lightly."
He looked at Li Gui again. At this time, Li Gui was able to walk. "The south wall can be built. Your family's Feng Shui is affected by the ancestral tomb. However, it is better to leave a door."
Li Gui quickly agreed. This trip was both thrilling and profitable. Jia Le, holding the money bag in his hand, went to the charity cemetery of Taoist Jing Xiu.
After delivering the takeaway food, it was time to get down to business. In his purse, there were fifty silver dollars, the balance for the last six corpses, and the money for doing the work. Jiale gave it to Simu, but Simu did not take it. With these in his hand, Jiale already had nearly a hundred silver dollars, which was definitely rich.
We set out in the morning and arrived at Taoist Jingxiu's charity cemetery in the evening.
Simu had just gone there, and this time there weren't many dead bodies, just six, which was just right. Jiale didn't stay overnight and left that night.
This time, three of the six dead bodies were from Xiangdong and three were from Xiangbei. After all, there were fewer bodies, and Jiale was traveling faster.
It only took five days to reach Xiangdong.
We will spend one night in the wild and will be able to deliver goods to Xiangdong tomorrow.
Jia Le practiced Bagua Palm and entered the unknown space again, but this time there was a figure Upon closer inspection, wasn't it Jia Le himself?
Looking at the reflection in front of him, Jia Le seemed to understand something. It must be the time to summon the gods. The master danced with the Bagua sword, but it was recorded by the unknown space.
This is really a great thing. Although Jiale's Baguazhang has made rapid progress, it is much slower than others. The reason is that he lacks the step of infinite echoes. After all, whether it is Maoshan Body Tempering Fist or Talisman Drawing, they both have the Four Eyes teaching, and one can watch the echoes and continuously deepen one's understanding, but Baguazhang is different.
Simu had never practiced before, so Jiale could only explore on his own. Although he could improve his understanding in the unknown space, his progress would still be slow.
Now that I have the master teaching me personally, I will definitely be able to improve Baguazhang faster in the future.
The principles of swordplay are actually the same. With the guidance of the master, Jiale made rapid progress. After just one day, he had already reached the threshold of great success.
But as he had not received the balance payment for the first shipment, Jiale felt a little disappointed. Money is never too much, it is always too little.
Fortunately, there were no problems with the last two goods, and the balance payment was received securely.
We didn't encounter any trouble and continued heading towards Xiangbei.
It was already evening when they entered Xiangbei, and they could only deliver goods during the day. Jiale walked for a while and saw an ancestral hall. He was very happy, thinking that he would not have to spend the night in the wild.
Only when I got closer could I see the words on the plaque clearly.
"Ma Family Ancestral Hall!"
This should be an ancestral hall built by a family surnamed Ma, but it is obvious that it has not been taken care of for a long time. Weeds are overgrown at the entrance of the hall, and the hall looks very dilapidated from the outside, with spider webs enough to weave yarn.
Gently pushing the door open, Jiale directed the three cargoes to walk in.
"who!"
Hmm! Such a dilapidated ancestral hall is actually guarded by someone?
Jiale looked into the darkness, lit a lighter and saw that he was really fat. But this guy was also amazing, as he dared to sleep on the coffin.
"I am a Taoist priest from Mount Mao, and I came here to drive a corpse. I want to stay for one night. I didn't know there was anyone here. Sorry to bother you!"
Maoshan Taoist!
The fat man's face lit up when he heard this, and he jumped off the coffin, "Are you also a Taoist priest from Maoshan?"
"Hmm! Have you ever seen other Maoshan Taoists?"
Upon hearing this, the fat man immediately said, "Yes, I saw one during the day, and I saw one again yesterday. If it weren't for him, I would really be dead. You Maoshan Taoists are really capable. However, yours seems to be a little younger, and I guess he is not as powerful as the one I saw."
The fat man was obviously feeling a little depressed being alone, so when he saw someone, he became very excited. Jiale was not annoyed and continued to drive the corpse into the ancestral hall.
The fat man then saw that there were three zombies behind Jiale and was immediately shocked. He was scared to death by this kind of guy yesterday, and today there were three of them.
Jiale smiled when he saw this, "These are not zombies, they are just dead bodies. They are all poor people who died in a foreign land. I am sending them back home."
The fat man was quite courageous. Seeing that the corpses were very obedient with talismans attached to them, he felt relieved. However, he was still a little scared, so he quickly moved closer to Jiale.
"I take back what I said earlier. You are a capable person. You can actually make a dead body listen to you so much."
Jiale put the goods in place and looked at the fat man, "Why are you here alone? You are not here to look after the ancestral hall, right?"
The fat man looked miserable when he heard that. "What ancestral hall are you looking at? I came here to compete with others for courage after making a bet. Let me tell you, there is a zombie in that coffin. I was almost bitten by it yesterday."
Zombies!
Jiale used the Jianyin Talisman to open his Yin-Yang eyes and looked at the coffin. There was indeed a trace of corpse qi, but it was not serious. At most, it was just a white zombie, which was not difficult to deal with.
"Oh, then you are really brave. You encountered zombies yesterday, and you still dare to come today."
Upon hearing this, the fat man wanted to say that he was careless for a moment and fell into the trap. He originally wanted to deny it, but his life was always about one thing: not breaking his word, and not being more timid than others, so he had no choice but to come despite himself.
Jiale glanced at the eggs on the coffin and the black dog blood and claws next to the coffin, and began to believe what Fatty said about having met a Maoshan Taoist priest. If he had not really met a Maoshan Taoist priest, he would not have known that these things could restrain zombies.
"Come on, if you have nothing to do, tell me about it."
The fat man was very happy to see that someone was willing to keep him company. Since it was not time yet, he just started chatting with Jiale.
It turned out that the fat man met a man he could not quite remember on the street yesterday. The man wanted to bet ten dollars with him to stay in the Ma Family Ancestral Hall for one night. The fat man could not refuse the temptation of ten dollars, so he agreed. However, he met a Maoshan Taoist priest who could turn white paper into ghost money on the way, and the priest said that he would die today.
When the fat man saw the ability of the Maoshan Taoist priest, he believed it and hurriedly begged for a way to stay alive. Yesterday, he went up to the beam on the second watch and avoided the zombies. On the fourth watch, he hid under the coffin. Although he was discovered in the end, he was lucky enough to survive until dawn.
Who would have thought that today I would have agreed to the bet made by that scoundrel in a daze, fifty dollars and another night's stay.
Fortunately, I met the Maoshan Taoist priest from yesterday and asked him to prepare some things. I should be able to get through it.
Ma Family Ancestral Hall! Zombies! Maoshan Taoist Priest! Mangy Dog!
At this moment, Jiale seemed to remember something.
"Fatty, what's your name?"
"Zhang Dare!"
