135. Chapter 135 Demon Girl
Chapter 135: Enchantress
Although Qingmu Temple is also located within Mount Emei, its popularity is far from comparable to the temples and Taoist temples that operate within the scenic area, attracting crowds day and night. Even tourists looking at the map cannot find the existence of such a temple. However, within the cultivation community, Qingmu Temple is considered one of the well-known orthodox sects.
The foundation can even extend directly to several major meridians from a thousand years ago.
This can be seen from the fact that the authorities allow them to practice on the mountain and even provide them with many conveniences.
Now... the level of attention is deeper and strengthened again.
On the night when the Immortal Fish Dragon incident occurred.
And then, a highly respected vice president traveled a long distance to Qingmu Temple, seeking an audience with the old temple master.
Inside the side room.
The vice president's expression was serious as he repeatedly confirmed the content of the private conversation between the old temple master and Own.
"Old temple master, this kind of matter cannot be spoken of lightly!"
"Using the name of the Daoist Master indiscriminately will lead to big problems!"
From the old temple master, the vice president learned that when the Daoist Master left in the evening, he secretly whispered something to him.
The Daoist Master informed the old temple master that the deep pool in this mountain range, which had formed naturally over hundreds of years, was the only blessed place in this area.
It was because of this that he raised black fish here.
Nowadays, although the black fish has been taken away, this blessed land of the water pond still remains.
As long as the old master and others take good care of the deep water pond and prevent it from being destroyed, they can gradually reap the benefits from it.
Moreover, it is possible to attract spiritual objects and opportunities through this blessed land of the deep water pond!
Becoming an immortal is naturally unlikely, but there is still a chance to prolong life and strengthen the body.
To be honest, as soon as the vice president heard these words, the first thing that came to his mind was how this venerable and virtuous old Taoist had become a fraudster?
Not to mention these years, just these few months!
This vice president is in well-known temples and Taoist temples in various famous mountains and rivers.
He has heard stories similar to or even more exaggerated than the one in front of him, there are probably a thousand or eight hundred of them!
This vice president is almost developing a conditioned response to these things!
"President Zhang!"
"You know me well!"
"If I were to exaggerate, would I have stayed at Qingmu Temple for thirty-six years?"
"Obtaining the true teachings has been my lifelong wish. How could I engage in such deceitful acts? I would be stealing the name of immortality!"
The old temple master felt offended and spoke earnestly:
"I didn't say anything when there were many people around, for fear that someone with ulterior motives would make a big mistake."
"The reason I am now conveying the true teachings to President Zhang is not to take credit, but to ensure that I, alone, do not delay the opportunity given by the true master!"
"President!"
"I won't ask for any special treatment, nor do I need any official recognition. I just want to continue staying at Qingmu Temple, watching over that deep pool!"
"All I ask is to protect this blessed land!"
The vice president remained silent for a while, weighing the pros and cons, and reluctantly leaned towards believing the words of the old temple master.
On one hand, the old temple master had indeed devoted himself to the pursuit of enlightenment for decades and was indifferent to fame and fortune.
On the other hand, as the old temple master had said, once the truth was revealed, if this matter was fabricated for personal gain, it would bring nothing but harm to the old temple master himself!
He would no longer benefit from lies!
That night, the vice president reported the story of the old temple master to the higher-ups through encrypted communication.
Soon, a decision was made from above.
Better to believe it exists than to believe it doesn't.
They would designate Qingmu Temple as one of the new protected heritage sites, equipped with 24-hour surveillance and alarm systems.
At the same time, a research team would be dispatched to conduct studies under the premise of ecological protection.
In addition, the treatment at Qingmu Temple would remain unchanged!
The vice president informed the old temple master of the decision and privately expressed the support of the higher-ups for the old temple master.
As long as the old temple master was willing, he could continue to practice at Qingmu Temple and even bring disciples to practice by the side of the deep pool.
Evidently, the higher-ups also took into consideration the attitude of the Transcendent towards the old temple master if the story was true.
The old temple master got what he wanted and expressed his gratitude with cupped hands, thinking about who he should bring with him to practice by the side of the deep pool tomorrow morning.
Then, as the old temple master, who was preparing to change clothes and go to sleep, was suddenly awakened by the sound of the phone.
He furrowed his brows and went to the wooden cabinet where the phone was placed, opened it, and looked at the name.
After recognizing the name, the old temple master chuckled twice before answering the call.
"Master! Disciple misses you!"
"Disciple wants to return to the temple to practice!"
On the other end of the phone was the old temple master's proudest disciple.
He was also the legacy successor chosen by the old temple master ten years ago.
However, after growing up, this disciple with outstanding qualities obviously had no intention of staying at Qingmu Temple.
After some activities, this disciple went to the Daoist academy in the big city and became a master in the eyes of many.
Now, calling on the phone, it was obvious that he had learned something through his own connections.
The old temple master listened quietly on the phone, waiting until the other party spoke at length.
Then, he slowly said, "I won't accept you!"
Without waiting for a response, he hung up the phone and blocked the caller.
The old temple master wasn't very interested in electronic devices, but he still understood how to use them.
And so, with Su Ping deliberately baiting the big black fish, the second-tier fishing spot near Qingmu Temple.
Received professional protection from the authorities.
No need to worry about any accidents anymore, accidentally damaging the water and soil of this deep pool.
It seems that the young disciples in the temple... obviously can't continue their water-fetching training.
But Su Ping didn't completely lie.
Although the fishing spot itself doesn't produce Spiritual Qi.
But Su Ping is not lacking low-level spiritual objects right now.
Perhaps when Su Ping feels like it, he might really throw one or two spiritual objects down to make this story of encountering immortals in the mountains return to its origin.
By then, it would be reasonable to make Qingmu Temple another bloodline testing agency.
...
In the Immortal World, Jiuye Mountain Market.
Su Ping transformed into the True Immortal Baihe and appeared in the market to handle affairs.
The appearance of Foundation Establishment immediately gave everyone in Jiuye Mountain Market a sense of security.
A certain steward who had been waiting for a long time hurriedly requested an audience with the temple master.
"Oh? Is it that Eastern steward?"
Su Ping sat in the reception hall and echoed the name, recalling what he had asked him to do.
Unable to help but feel moved, he decided to prioritize meeting this Eastern steward.
The Eastern steward was middle-aged, a Rogue Cultivator at the Qi Refining Stage 2.
He could be considered an old person in Jiuye Market.
However, the temple master changed his steward a bit too quickly this year. The True Immortal Baihe was already his third master.
The Eastern steward quickly bent over and entered the reception hall after performing the proper etiquette.
After the formalities, the Eastern steward cupped his hands and said:
"I have fulfilled the temple master's orders. I encountered a new Western Desert caravan not long after leaving Yunshan Market."
"I bought everything the temple master requested and brought them back safely."
"But..."
The Eastern steward hesitated for a moment and couldn't hide it any longer:
"All the Spirit Stones have been spent..."
"Spirit Stones don't matter. The fact that you were able to accomplish the task so quickly shows that you put in effort."
Su Ping smiled faintly:
"When you put in effort, you naturally deserve a reward."
"I plan to develop a new block in the back mountain of Jiuye Mountain Market and specialize in selling some novel items."
"You will be in charge of this area."
With just a few words, Su Ping rewarded the Eastern steward and then asked him to bring the gains from this trip.
While the Eastern steward introduced the twelve demon girls he brought along, he let them step forward.
According to him, the number of demon girls in the Western Desert caravan this time was not many.
It was rumored that several sects that provided demon girls had encountered problems and suffered from evil spirits.
In addition, many demon girls had already been reserved, so there were not many available for free trade.
That's why he only bought these twelve.
Then, there was news that a terrifying sword cultivator had attacked Yunshan Market recently.
It was said that in that battle, the sword cultivator single-handedly fought against three Foundation Establishment deacons from Yunshan Market.
After fighting for the whole morning, the matter ended with Yunshan Market taking the initiative to apologize.
It was rumored that the sword cultivator was a true disciple of the Proud Sword Sect from the Southern Wilderness region.
And now, the Proud Sword Sect had also settled in a nearby market and was preparing to establish a sect and recruit permanent disciples.
Su Ping didn't comment on these true or false rumors.
The means of the Immortal Sects were not something he cared about. Those small sects wouldn't mind using them.
After the Eastern steward left, Su Ping reevaluated the demon girls in the hall.
Among these twelve, there were five rabbit girls, five cat girls, and two snake girls.
In terms of appearance, the rabbit and cat girls seemed to be in their twenties.
The snake girls were slightly older and looked more like older sisters next door.
However, besides their attractive appearances, these demon girls were like puppets... they were even less spiritual than those advanced puppets.
It was as if they were just puppets implanted with obedient commands.
When Su Ping used his Divine Sense, which far exceeded the early stage of Foundation Establishment, to scan these demon girls, he discovered that their souls were not numb due to postnatal damage inflicted by humans, but rather their souls seemed to be naturally deficient!
On the other hand, their physical bodies showed signs of being healed and even enhanced by spiritual medicines.
"These demon girls seem to be related to some failed experiments by certain sects?"
"They should be trying to integrate the power of Union Demonic Beasts Bloodline into mortals, attempting to mass-produce cannon fodder."
"These demon girls should be the second-generation failed products bred from those failed ones!"
"Their souls are deficient and unable to condense Magic power for cultivation, but their physical bodies are better than Practitioners. And then... their appearances are quite unique?"
"So they are being used as commodities by waste?"
After speculating about the background of these demon girls, Su Ping carefully checked if they had any hidden tricks.
After retracting his Divine Sense, he recited the secret words according to the instruction manual and gained the loyalty of these demon girls.
He distributed invitation letters to them and immediately took them to the Grotto-Heaven in the pot.
With the addition of these twelve maidservants, the Grotto-Heaven in the pot became more popular.
Su Ping didn't need to do anything himself anymore; he could control the True Immortal Baihe to help.
These demon girls, who were quite strong, could handle tasks such as boiling water and cooking, as well as other miscellaneous tasks.
In addition, when there were guests, Su Ping felt that he had more choices to create a sense of mystery.
