Longevity begins with slaying demons and eliminating demons

Chapter 31
Machin couldn't help but recall the scene a few minutes ago -

Gu Xu talked happily with the restaurant owner, like a pair of happy grandparents.

Then Gu Xu took the jug from the boss and planned to pour himself a glass of wine.

His hand shook "inadvertently".

Drinks spilled out, running from the table to the floor.

Using the power of True Yuan to move objects with bare hands—limited to objects with small volume and mass, is an entry-level operation for every cultivator.

That is to say, for Gu Xu, it is not difficult to control the flow direction of the liquid with real essence.

Just now Gu Xu seemed to be sitting in a chair in a daze, indifferent to the miserable situation of Ma Qin being besieged...

But in fact, he used the ground as the paper and the osmanthus wine as the ink, and turned the whole restaurant into a "Tai Shang North Pole Suppressing Demon and Killing Ghost Talisman".

This is what Gu Xu called the "stage".

This is the killer move that Gu Xu has been planning for a long time.

Thinking of this, Ma Qin had mixed feelings in his heart.

He was once envious of Gu Xu's terrifying speed of practice, and envied his supreme talent that shocked the entire Exorcism Division.

But in the final analysis, these are God's food.

Ma Qin once felt that if he had the same talent, he would not necessarily be much inferior to Gu Xu.

But now, Ma Qin realized that the most powerful thing about Gu Xu was not his outstanding talent—it was that no matter how critical the situation was, he could always maintain absolute calmness, with astonishing talent and unconventional skills. Think and find unexpected ways to win.

Is this guy really only 17 years old?

The more Ma Qin thought about it, the more incredible it became.

As Gu Xu recited the "Exorcism Mantra", the temperature in the house gradually increased, and the light seeping from the ground became brighter.

The ghosts present also obviously felt the threat of death.

They left Ma Qin, whose face was covered with egg whites, behind him, let out a low roar, and waved all kinds of kitchen utensils, rushing towards Gu Xu like a tide.

But Gu Xu was unmoved, and continued to chant the mantra while dodging carefully.

Since the battle with the Painted Ghosts last month, Gu Xu has deeply realized that the power of the improved "Ghost Killing Talisman" is still somewhat insufficient when dealing with those rough-skinned ghosts.

Therefore, in the recent period of time, while practicing hard, he has also been trying to develop a third-generation "ghost-killing charm" that is more lethal.

Although it is currently only a semi-finished product, there are still many defects...

But it is obviously enough to deal with these ghosts.

After all, he injected [-]% of his true essence into this "Ghost Killing Talisman" drawn by Guijiu - the terrifying damage that erupted at this moment was absolutely irresistible to the ghosts present.

"...Five days of devils, death and form. Wherever they are, all gods welcome them. Hastily like the law!"

After the mantra was chanted, the whole restaurant ignited a golden fire.

It's like a thousand trees are blooming at night in the east wind.

They are as radiant as stars, and loud as fire.

The figures of the ghosts were quickly twisted and melted in the strong light, like a pile of paper figurines thrown into the stove, and with a painful wailing sound, they turned into ashes all over the ground.

Gu Xu stood quietly in the place where the fire was the most dazzling, his face became extraordinarily pale due to the massive loss of real energy, but his eyes were as indifferent as before, and the corners of his mouth were slightly upturned, as if he was intoxicated by this colorful and splendid scenery.

"It's beautiful." He sighed softly.

Then he turned his head, raised his eyebrows, and looked at Ma Qin beside him with a smile: "Brother Ma, what do you think of today's performance?"

Ma Qin took a deep breath and said with sincere admiration, "Extremely wonderful."

"This is art." Gu Xu was obviously very satisfied with the improved ghost-killing charm.

Although Ma Qin had long understood that Gu Xu was not an ordinary first-level monk.

But the terrifying energy that burst out in the "fireworks" just now still made Ma Qin feel extremely shocked, and even made him in the second realm feel a faint threat.

"If this 'Ghost Killing Talisman' can not only act on ghosts, but also on humans, can my 'Rock Fist' withstand this terrifying attack?"

Machin doesn't know.

He planned to go to the Yishui exorcism treasury to exchange for a few "ghost-killing charms" after leaving the illusion.

This thing has only [-] meritorious feats.

Such a high price/performance ratio is simply unbelievable.

…………

Yishui County, Exorcism Si Yamen lobby.

Chu Fengge sat on the Taishi chair with Erlang's legs crossed, staring intently at the image on the "Wen Gu Hu" pot. Seeing Gu Xu's figure standing in the dazzling firelight, he could not help frowning slightly.

Ordinary low-level cultivators like Ma Qin might not understand why Gu Xu could create such a terrifying "Ghost Killing Talisman".

But Chu Fengge, a self-proclaimed genius, saw at a glance that Gu Xu's true essence was more condensed and purer than that of most first-level monks.

As we all know, the true essence of the Great Wilderness cultivator is tempered by Yin Qi.

During this process, it is difficult to obtain [-]% purification of Yin Sha Qi - even if you use a high-grade cultivation technique, there will be more or less impurities remaining.

And these impurities with yin and cold attributes will largely become the shackles of the monks' future strength, and even hidden dangers.

It will also bring great risks to the monk's breakthrough process.

Chu Fengge was relatively lucky.

He grew up under the personal teaching of Luo Chuan, the director of exorcism, and practiced Luo Chuan's self-created high-grade exercise "Legend of Stars".

The reason why high-grade exercises are precious is because they contain the perception of the top experts on the Great Way of Heaven and Earth; and in terms of purifying true essence, they are also more efficient than ordinary exercises.

One of the advantages of "Lie Xing Jue" is that it can use the light of the stars to help cultivators cleanse the residual yin and evil energy in the meridians after night falls.

Therefore, Chu Fengge, who practiced the "Lie Xing Jue", has much purer true essence than ordinary monks - this makes him only in the fourth realm, but he can compete with the monks who have just entered the fifth realm. Arm Wrestling.

Although Chu Fengge doesn't really want to admit it...

But he could clearly perceive that Gu Xu's true essence was no less condensed than himself who practiced the "Legend of Stars".

"Xu San, do you know what kind of exercise Gu Xuxiu is doing?" Thinking of this, Chu Fengge turned his head and asked Xu San, his entourage.

"Sir, according to the records of the Yishui Exorcism Department, Gu Xu practiced the "Returning Yuan Jue"." Xu San replied respectfully.

"Returning Yuan"?
Daqi cultivator has almost a copy of the bad street exercises?
A mediocre and unremarkable exercise that is only worth five hundred merits?

How can this be?

"Xu San, you should know that fooling this official will cost you your head." Chu Fengge said coldly.

"My subordinates don't dare," Xu San immediately lowered his head and replied tremblingly, "But...but Gu Xu's file is really written like this."

Chu Fengge hummed, only to think it was outrageous.

Inadvertently, he glanced at Gu Xu who was in the corner with his eyes closed, and he became a little more vigilant about this kid.
