The whole body of the white-faced demon was divided into two parts, but because the right arm had been chopped off long ago, the two parts of the body did not appear symmetrical enough.
Jiang Wang fell in front of the corpse. As soon as his hand was loosened, the long sword split into countless fragments and fell to the ground one after another.
Its mission has been accomplished.
The material of this sword is just an ordinary long sword, which cannot withstand the infusion of Dao Yuan for such a long time.
And Jiang Wang also clearly felt once again that Tongtian Palace was empty. Not a single one of those lively and cute little things is left.
Before the ownerless gray mist spread, Jiang Wang returned to the official road. He noticed that part of the gray fog escaped to the official road, but it was blocked by an invisible force and slowly dissipated.
Jiang Wang knew in his heart that it should be the power of some kind of formation pattern engraved on the official path.
After waiting for a while, the roar of thunder came closer and closer. Zhang Linchuan made a few leaps and landed next to Jiang Wang.
"Junior Brother Jiang hasn't left here, has he?" he asked.
Despite the battle, his clothes were still neat and tidy, and even his bun was delicately protected. The way you move your hands and feet shows off your style.
"I met... the monster from Tangshe Town before."
"If you cut off his blood, he will definitely come to get it, otherwise he will have no choice but to escape from Zhuang Kingdom."
"I killed him."
Zhang Linchuan's eyebrows jumped: "What?"
Jiang Wang pointed in the direction where the white-faced demon was to be executed: "I just don't know if the corpse is useful or if I can find any clues."
Zhang Linchuan recovered from his surprise and shook his head: "These people's souls are missing. It is useless to search for their souls while alive, let alone after death. I just killed a few, and they are all like this."
"That's it." Jiang Wang was not disappointed. For him, killing the white-faced demon was enough.
He did not complain that Zhang Linchuan chose to pursue the enemy immediately instead of staying where he was to protect him. He is not a delicate person who needs protection, and Zhang Linchuan is not his nanny.
Moreover, if it weren't for Zhang Linchuan's pressure, this white-faced demon would never have chosen to escape without fighting. And his accomplices would never give Jiang Wang a chance to fight alone.
Zhang Linchuan took a look at the place where the gray fog dissipated, and sighed a little: "The formation pattern of the official road here has been corroded, and it must be reported to the government so that they can send people to repair it quickly."
The two horses did not run away in fright. Jiang Wang shook the reins, and the horses started running lively.
At this time, he felt that from an unpredictable place in Tongtian Palace, a Dao Yuan suddenly rolled down, one after another, as many as five in a row. And it’s fuller and rounder.
Although it has not completely replenished the previous consumption, it is already an unexpected surprise.
Only then did he understand more deeply the lessons taught by those senior Taoists.
The so-called Daoyuan means the beginning of the Great Dao. The birth of Daoyuan is not a simple sublimation of Qi and blood, but the perfect fusion of mind and power. It is the most authentic feedback from the spirits of all things to the origin of heaven and earth.
…
It was still early when they returned to the Taoist Temple, so they went directly to Dong'a Temple to recover.
The door was open, but the courtyard was empty. Only Fang Heling was walking around, looking bored.
When he saw the two people coming in empty-handed, his eyes lit up.
Fang Heling first said hello to Zhang Linchuan honestly, and then said comfortingly: "It seems that Zhang Shixiong didn't gain much this time... Even if a genius like Zhang Shixiong brings a newcomer who knows nothing, It’s really too difficult.”
Of course he doesn't think he is a newcomer. The Fang family has produced many cultivators for hundreds of years. He has been exposed to it and is no stranger to battles between cultivators. And this person named Jiang is just from a small town, what kind of knowledge can he have?
Jiang Wang was too lazy to pay attention to him.
Zhang Linchuan was amused and said, "Oh? It seems that He Ling has gained a lot this time."
"It went well." Fang Heling said reluctantly and modestly, and couldn't wait to show off.
It turned out that when they went to Fulai Inn to look for clues, someone was also spying secretly. However, Li Jianqiu took action boldly and captured the man alive. It was an exploration that had little hope at first, but because of this living person, it suddenly had a direction!
Of course, Fang Heling played some role in this, but it's really hard to say.
"Where did Junior Brother Li go?" Zhang Linchuan asked.
Fang Heling was stunned for a moment in embarrassment, and then said: "In the room, Master Dong is searching for souls using secret techniques."
Dong Ah searched for souls, Li Jianqiu accompanied him, but Fang Heling was not even qualified to watch... His contribution during this trip was evident.
It was not convenient for Zhang Linchuan and Jiang Wang to go in and disturb him, so he had to wait in the courtyard with Fang Heling.
Jiang Wang said nothing, closed his eyes and sent the Dao Yuan in Tongtian Palace to where it should hover, while Zhang Linchuan and Fang Heling chatted incessantly.
Fang Heling was naturally proud. After all, Dong A had said before that the mission Daoxun would be 19 points. Jiang Wang obviously had nothing to gain, but they came back with one survivor. This is the first step in widening the gap.
Not long after waiting, Dong A, dressed in black Taoist robes, strode out with Li Jianqiu.
Facing Fang Heling's expectant gaze, Li Jianqiu shook his head.
Dong Adao: "This man's soul is defective. I have only found some scattered fragments, which are insignificant."
Fang Heling rushed to show off: "With such thorough defenses, there must be a strict organization behind these people! This matter is by no means simple!"
Dong A was noncommittal and just looked at Zhang Linchuan.
Zhang Linchuan then described what happened after going to Tangshe Town without adding any exaggeration. As for the details of Jiang Wang's two battles with the white-faced demon, Dong A wouldn't ask, and Jiang Wang didn't need to tell them.
He is a serious Taoist disciple, and he is not a criminal, so he does not need to be tried.
Dong A heard the sound and just nodded and said: "Jiang Wang is good."
This may sound cold, but in the ears of those who know Dong Ah's character well, it is a rare compliment.
In this mission, both teams led by Zhang Linchuan and Li Jianqiu submitted new clues, but there was no follow-up. Naturally, the mission cannot be considered a success. But Dong A assigned five points of Taoism to each of them as an incentive.
For Zhang Linchuan and Li Jianqiu, they were just guiding juniors who were new to entry-level tasks. It would be better if they could gain something, but it didn't matter if they didn't. Their senior brother was brought here in the same way.
For Jiang Wang and Fang Heling, five points of Taoism is not a small amount, which is equivalent to half completing a ninth-level task, the lowest level.
The reward points for ninth-grade tasks range from 10 to 100 points, and the reward points for eighth-grade tasks range from 100 to 500 points, depending on the difficulty of the task.
Dong Ah acted decisively, and after judging that the mission was temporarily over, he ordered the disciples to disperse.
After the incident, Fang Heling encouraged Zhang Linchuan and Li Jianqiu to have a few drinks. Jiang Wang thought for a while and decided to go to Daoxun Hall to have a look.
…
The location of Daoxun Hall is opposite to the Sacrifice Hall, which shows its importance.
The entire hall was empty, except for a list of Taoist meritorious deeds with a hazy light hanging on the altar table.
There are no guards here, because the Daoxunbang has the power to protect itself. It is a spiritual treasure in itself, or to be more precise, this list enshrined in the Taoist Hall of Maple Forest City Taoist Academy is a sub-list of the Taoist Honors List that the main body received in the National Taoist Academy.
Jiang Wang came here specially, just to see the world.
In front of the Taoist list stood a medium-sized Taoist priest in linen clothes, with his hands clasped in front of him, looking at the list in trance.
His face cannot be seen from behind, but everyone in the inner courtyard whom Jiang Wang is not familiar with has a higher level of cultivation than him.
Because they are all his senior brothers.
Jiang Wang didn't bother him, and walked towards the Daoxun list. He gathered his energy and stared at the list. The clear light flickered slightly, and a lot of information flowed through his heart.
This is just a sub-list, and only relevant information about Maplewood City Taoist Temple can be seen. It is said that the body of the Daoxunbang is all-encompassing and all-encompassing. But that was still a long way off for Jiang Wang.
There are quite a few redemption options on this Maplewood City Road Yard List, which is enough to make Jiang Wang dizzy. It was just the price of those redeemable items that made him want to turn around and leave.
The cheapest Pulse Opening Pill costs one hundred Daoxun, and its value is of course more than that, but as disciples of the Taoist Academy, they have certain support from the Taoist sect. To redeem the second Pulse Opening Pill, one thousand five hundred Taoist points are needed. This should be the true price of the Pulse Opening Pill.
In addition, the cheapest standard magic sword starts at 500 Daoxun!
Jiang Wang looked at his five-point Daoxun... Well, his trip was just to broaden his horizons.
The so-called Daoxun List, since it is a list, there will naturally be rankings. Only then did Jiang Wang discover that Zhang Linchuan, who he thought was unfathomable, was only ranked third on the list of Daoxunzi in Maplewood City.
The second ranked person is named Wei Yan. He is not a disciple of the Taoist Academy, but a military attache in the city guard army. Judging from his name, he might have something to do with Wei Quji.
Zhu Weiwo, who ranked first with 1,300 points of Taoism, was also recognized as the senior brother in the entire Maplewood City Taoist Academy. Jiang Wang always only heard his name but never saw his person.
You must know that Wei Yan Daoxun, who is ranked second, only has 700 points, which is almost the same as Zhang Linchuan, but he is far away from Zhu Weiwo.
Jiang Wang scrolled down further and saw Li Jianqiu at the seventeenth position, so he cut off the connection with the Daoxun list.
"New junior brother?"
The senior brother from before seemed to be specially waiting for him.
Jiang Wang turned his head when he heard the sound, and saw a face with a warm smile.
"How do you say, senior brother? I'm Jiang Wang, who has just joined the inner sect."
"Hello, my name is Wang Changxiang." Wang Changxiang's appearance is not outstanding, but the smile on his face makes him very approachable, "Well, see you next time."
"Goodbye." Jiang Wang's heart moved. In the Taoist list he just checked, this person ranked seventh, far above Li Jianqiu.
Of course, the Daoxun list only counts Daoxun, not personal strength. But in a sense, it does reflect something.
Previously, in the outer sect, their sworn brothers showed off their integrity and were invincible. Once you enter the inner gate, you will know that the sky is high and the earth is high.
From the people he has come into contact with so far, Li Jianqiu, Zhang Linchuan, and Wang Changxiang have different temperaments, but they are all outstanding people. Jiang Wang thinks to himself that he is far from his opponent.
A single Maple City Taoist Academy has so many talented people, but what about the entire Qinghe County, or even the entire Zhuang Country?
And how elegant must be those talented people who are famous all over the world and make heroes from all over the world look up to them!
Thinking of these, Jiang Wang did not feel discouraged. Instead, he had endless fighting spirit burning.
At least now, he has set foot on the extraordinary road and is on the same playing field as those dazzling people. So what else is there to fear?
