Starting From The Equal Opportunity To Become A Saint

151. Chapter 151 The Visitor Is Not Good!

Chapter 151: Unwelcome Visitors!

Upon hearing that the number of bound targets had once again dropped to seventy-six, Liu Zimo couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

So this is the end of the world.

Human lives are the cheapest.

Almost every time after a calamity, there would be a large number of martial artists and civilians who perished.

Even among the elites he had bound, nearly ten of them had died in the recent third calamity, falling victim to the beasts.

The originally almost ninety bound spots had suddenly dropped back to seventy-six.

He could only hope that this trip to Longhu Mountain would not disappoint him and that he could bind a few more "good brothers" or "good sisters."

Yes, Longhu Mountain was not a traditional Taoist sect, and its disciples included both men and women without strict differentiation.

"Special invited martial arts consultant of the Military Participation Department, Liu Zimo!"

Liu Zimo's thoughts stirred as he appeared in front of Zhang Zhenren with his two disciples, introducing himself while respectfully bowing to Zhang Zhenren.

"Zhang Zhenren, I have long heard of your name, please accept my respects!"

"So it's Advisor Liu, please accept my respects!"

Zhang Daoxian bowed once again.

Then, he saw the giant turtle behind Liu Zimo and watched as it shrank in size, transforming into a palm-sized turtle, naturally settling on the right shoulder of this Advisor Liu without moving.

[Sure enough, this spirit turtle has become Advisor Liu's spiritual pet, otherwise it wouldn't behave so intimately!]

[How did he do it?]

[Aren't these ancient spirit beasts all proud and disdainful, looking down on all human beings after the end of the Dharma era?]

[This spirit turtle has already recovered to the mid-stage of the Divine Communication Realm, why would it willingly become a human's spiritual pet, and even act as a mount, carrying them on their journey?]

[Tsk tsk, truly amazing!]

[What is the identity and background of this Advisor Liu, is he a direct disciple of the Tongtian Dao Sect of this generation?]

[However, how could someone from the Dao Sect have any connection with the Great Xia government? And a martial arts consultant, could he also have joined the Great Xia military like Hong Yuxun from the Yuxun Martial Arts Hall?]

[Hmm? Interesting, this poor Dao can't even see through his cultivation realm!]

[Has he used secret techniques to conceal it, or is his realm already above mine?]

[Furthermore, these two little girls by his side, their spiritual energy is overwhelming, just by looking at them, you can tell that they are natural spiritual cultivators, such good seedlings!]

[If I could take them in as disciples, within ten years, they would definitely become outstanding figures among the younger generation of disciples... Huh?!]

[The Infinite Heavenly Venerable! One of these little girls is already in the Grandmaster Realm?!]

[The other one, although not a Grandmaster, is already at the peak of the Golden Body Realm, just one step away from the Grandmaster Realm!]

[What's even more impressive is that their spiritual cultivation realms are all at the initial stage of the Spiritual Sea Realm?!]

[Who on earth cultivated these little monsters? Compared to them, the elders of my Longhu Mountain can all find a tofu to kill themselves with!]

[...]

After binding as "good brothers," Zhang Zhenren's thoughts naturally began to flow towards Liu Zimo's ears.

He didn't expect that Zhang Zhenren, who appeared calm and composed on the surface, would have such rich inner thoughts.

Especially when he saw the true cultivation realms of Xiaofei Hong and Xiaoxiao, he even stuttered a bit when calling out their names.

He felt even more surprised and incredulous than when he saw the spirit turtle recognize its master.

Liu Zimo could empathize with this.

Because if it were him in his previous life, he would definitely envy and be jealous to the point of feeling inferior when he saw someone break through to the Grandmaster Realm at the age of five or six.

Zhang Daoxian was already a genius, so he might not feel inferior, but he would definitely be shocked and envious!

"Advisor Liu, I wonder who these two little girls are?"

Zhang Daoxian bowed and then pretended to casually look down at Xiaofei Hong and Lou Xiaoxiao, asking Liu Zimo in a low voice.

Liu Zimo chuckled, "They are my two direct disciples, Feihong and Xiaoxiao. Why don't you come and greet Zhang Zhenren?"

Upon hearing that these two girls were Liu Zimo's direct disciples, Zhang Daoxian couldn't help but feel a trace of inexplicable loss in his eyes.

【The voice is crisp, the posture is cute and charming, it's really more likable the more you look at it.】

【It's just a pity that such good seedlings have been taken by someone else. If they could all become Liu Zimo's direct disciples, then my Longhu Mountain would have successors!】

【Wait!】

【If they are all Liu Zimo's direct disciples, does that mean Liu Zimo's cultivation level is far above theirs?】

【Grandmaster pinnacle, or Manifestation of the Holy Realm?】

【This Liu Zimo looks like he's only in his twenties. Is he really that powerful?】

Zhang Daoxian felt regret and shock in his heart.

However, he didn't show any of it on his face. After introducing each other, he led Liu Zimo and his disciples into the lower hall according to the etiquette.

Both sides took their seats as host and guest, and a disciple brought hot tea to the table.

After tasting the tea, Zhang Daoxian finally asked Liu Zimo, "I don't know why Advisor Liu has come to our Longhu Mountain?"

As the saying goes, there must be a reason for visiting the Three Treasures Hall.

Longhu Mountain has little interaction with the official government, especially the Military Affairs Department.

Now, especially after the third demonic calamity, Liu Zimo, the martial arts advisor of the Military Affairs Department, suddenly came with an ancient spirit beast at the Divine Transformation Realm. There must be a plot.

Zhang Daoxian never forgot the warning from the Venerable Linglong before. This town-keeping spirit turtle from the Heavenly Dao Sect is not easy to deal with for their Longhu Sect.

These people are probably not good news!

"Two things!"

Liu Zimo slowly extended two fingers and said lightly, "First, the Military Affairs Department wants to integrate the martial arts of the world and promote universal martial cultivation to jointly resist the invasion of foreign demonic beasts!"

"Therefore, it requires the major martial arts sects in Da Xia to cooperate autonomously and share their martial arts heritage with the public."

Hmm?

Zhang Daoxian's expression changed slightly.

He knew that the people from the Military Affairs Department would not come for a good reason.

Sure enough, they opened their mouths and wanted them to voluntarily give up their martial arts heritage. This was like a dream!

Even if he agreed, the Venerable Linglong in the Cold Pond on the back mountain would never agree!

Liu Zimo seemed to sense Zhang Daoxian's refusal in his eyes, but he was not surprised at all. He continued, "Of course, the Military Affairs Department is not a bandit. Naturally, it will not force the various sects, nor will it take away the martial arts heritage of the sects for free."

"As compensation for the martial arts heritage offered by the sects, the Military Affairs Department will also provide a Divine Grade martial arts technique and a Divine Grade spiritual cultivation technique for the sects to choose from."

"The martial arts technique is the 'Pingyang Breathing Technique' and the 'Pingyang Ten Forms'."

"And the spiritual cultivation technique is the Heavenly Dao Sect's supreme skill, the 'Supreme Induction Chapter'."

"Zhang Zhenren is a highly accomplished person with ancient heritage. I believe you are not unfamiliar with these two sets of techniques. I wonder if your sect is willing to cooperate with the Military Affairs Department and hand over the martial arts secret of Longhu Mountain?"

Pingyang Breathing Technique?!

Supreme Induction Chapter?!

Zhang Daoxian's mind trembled, extremely surprised.

He was very familiar with these two sets of techniques, and they had been mentioned by the Venerable Linglong more than once.

The Pingyang Breathing Technique was a widely circulated breathing technique in ancient times. The speed of absorbing and transforming spiritual energy was more than ten times that of modern Heaven Grade breathing techniques!

Unfortunately, after the end of the last era, this breathing technique was completely lost and interrupted in the martial arts heritage of the human race.

Although the Venerable Linglong was an ancient creature, she was a spiritual beast and knew nothing about the martial arts techniques of the human race.

Even if it knew that the Pingyang Breathing Technique was a divine technique for the people of this era, it couldn't recall any related cultivation content.

In fact, not only the Pingyang Breathing Technique, but also most of the other techniques in the Longhu Sect were the same.

Only the Dragon and Tiger Visualization Technique, which was based on the Venerable Linglong and the Venerable Dali, had not been forgotten and had been passed down by chance.

But the Dragon and Tiger Visualization Technique was a high-level spiritual cultivation secret technique with a very high threshold. Only cultivators in the Spiritual Abyss Realm could comprehend and practice it.

In the entire Longhu Mountain today, only he, as the sect leader, could barely comprehend it!

And the other set of techniques mentioned by Liu Zimo, the Supreme Induction Chapter.

It is the spiritual cultivation inheritance of the Tongtian Taoist Temple, and also the supreme secret method that the Tongtian Taoist uses to communicate with the gods and become famous in the world.

In ancient times, the reputation of the "Tai Shang Gan Ying Pian" was not inferior to the "Dragon Tiger Visualization Method" of their Dragon Tiger Sect.

What's more important is that although the "Tai Shang Gan Ying Pian" is also an advanced spiritual cultivation secret technique, the threshold for cultivation is extremely low.

As long as one reaches the Lingtong Realm, they can directly cultivate and comprehend. It is definitely the Divine Grade secret technique that their Dragon Tiger Mountain is currently lacking the most!

Therefore, Zhang Daoxian did not expect that Liu Zimo would actually offer such precious Divine Grade techniques, allowing the major martial arts sects in the world to learn and practice?

Is it true or false?

As the inheritor of the Tongtian Taoist Temple, can Liu Zimo really bear to let the secret techniques of his own sect be directly available to everyone, becoming common knowledge?

For a moment, Zhang Daoxian's heart was filled with mixed feelings.

He didn't know whether to admire this person's generosity or to mock his foolishness.

Anyway, if it were him, even if he was a monk who had been enlightened in the Dao for half his life, he probably couldn't be as magnanimous as Liu Zimo!

"Supreme Heavenly Sovereign, Advisor Liu, this matter requires further careful consideration..." Zhang Daoxian took a deep breath and used a delaying tactic, not immediately giving a response.

He really didn't dare to make a decision directly on this matter.

Even though he was extremely tempted and wanted to immediately exchange for the "Pingyang Breathing Technique" and the "Tai Shang Gan Ying Pian" mentioned by Liu Zimo to see them for himself.

But now, Dragon Tiger Mountain is not just his Dragon Tiger Mountain alone.

If the Linglong Venerable in the Cold Pond behind the mountain does not agree, he wouldn't dare to easily bring out the sect's techniques and exchange them with others.

"Young Taoist, agree to him!" At this moment, the familiar and delicate voice of the Venerable came into Zhang Daoxian's ears.

"Why not accept the benefits that come to your door?"

"Whether it's the 'Pingyang Breathing Technique', the 'Pingyang Ten Forms', or the 'Tai Shang Gan Ying Pian' of the Tongtian Taoist, they are all the most needed techniques and secrets of Dragon Tiger Mountain, not to be missed!"

"Among all the current techniques and inheritances of Dragon Tiger Mountain, except for the 'Dragon Tiger Visualization Method', you can make the decision to exchange the rest with them!"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Daoxian's mouth twitched involuntarily.

Linglong Venerable's words sounded good, and the abacus was played very loudly.

But the problem now is that they came to us on their own initiative, probably for our 'Dragon Tiger Visualization Method'!

Don't forget, Liu Zimo is the successor of the Tongtian Taoist, and he also has an ancient spiritual turtle by his side that knows everything!

How could they not know what the most precious inheritance of Dragon Tiger Sect is?

Didn't you hear that Liu Zimo had already hinted at it just now?

What does "attained high level of Dao" mean?

What is "possessing ancient inheritance"?

This is clearly telling him that they already know their roots, so there's no need to pretend to be ignorant!

Believe it or not, after taking their Divine Grade techniques and spiritual arts, if they don't bring out the inheritance of the "Dragon Tiger Visualization Method", they will immediately turn against us!

"Consideration? That's only natural, we're not in a hurry." Liu Zimo smiled slightly, not urging, but spoke calmly.

"Previously, the Wise Yuan Sage of Dalin Temple was the same, hesitating and unwilling to believe in the government, always feeling that we had some conspiracy."

"But now, not only the Wise Yuan Sage, but all the disciples of Dalin Temple have come under the jurisdiction of the military."

"Even the gate of Dalin Temple has been moved from Longmen's Dashishan to Luozhou City!"

Liu Zimo deliberately mentioned Dalin Temple and Luozhou City.

Sure enough, after hearing this news, Zhang Daoxian's expression froze for a moment, and he asked Liu Zimo, "Did Advisor Liu just say that Dalin Temple actually relocated to Luozhou City? When did this happen?"

Liu Zimo replied, "It's been more than three months, I remember it was still not so cold at that time, and the second calamity had just passed not long ago!"

"Oh, I forgot to tell Zhang Zhenren, I am from Dongyang Province, and I have been living in Luozhou City, so I have some understanding of the situation inside Luozhou City!"

It's Luozhou again!

Zhang Daoxian's mind suddenly tightened, and he suddenly had a bad premonition.

Three months ago, Elder Zhao Beixuan took ten true disciples of the sect to go on a journey, and it seemed that they went to Luozhou City.

But it has been three months since he left, and there has been no news. Until now, he has not returned.

A few days ago, some elders proposed sending someone to Luozhou to investigate the situation.

Now it seems that Luozhou City is a place where the Great Lin Temple's high monks reside, and where mysterious and unpredictable figures like Liu Zimo settle. It is definitely a hidden place of great talent.

In the absence of any understanding of the situation, Elder Liu rushed into Luozhou City. Coupled with his stubborn and hot-tempered personality, it is difficult to guarantee that nothing unexpected will happen!

"This is quite a coincidence!"

Zhang Daoxian composed himself and said softly,

"A while ago, one of the elders from my Longhu Mountain, along with ten true disciples, went out to experience the world. It seems they also went to Luozhou City. Have you seen them, Advisor Liu?"

I've been waiting for you to ask this question!

Upon hearing Zhang Daoxian's words, Liu Zimo's expression changed slightly, and his gaze became somewhat cold.

"Master Zhang, are you sure that all the Taoists who invaded Luozhou City are from your Longhu Mountain?"

Zhang Daoxian was puzzled, "What do you mean, Advisor Liu? Have our disciples offended you in any way?"

"I know, I know!"

At this moment, Xiao Feihong suddenly spoke up in a crisp voice and said loudly,

"After the first demonic calamity, two Taoists claiming to be disciples of Longhu Mountain used illusions to indiscriminately kill the citizens of Luozhou City and cultivate demonic techniques."

"After my master caught them, he killed them on the spot. I was there at the time!"

"Well, let me think. If I remember correctly, those two Taoists were named Jingyong and Xuanqing."

"It was terrifying. They even wanted to kill me at the time!"

Infinite Heavenly Venerable!

Hearing Xiao Feihong mention the names Jingyong and Xuanqing, Zhang Daoxian knew that trouble was brewing!

These two were the disciples and grandchildren of Elder Liu!

I didn't expect them to be dead!

And they died at the hands of Advisor Liu!

If Elder Liu were to receive this news, wouldn't...

Sure enough.

Immediately after, he heard about Elder Zhao Beixuan.

"Not long after the second demonic calamity, an old Taoist appeared in Luozhou with ten young Taoists."

"This time, they were even more arrogant and directly blocked the door of my master's house with knives, threatening to kill my master and all his disciples in revenge for their own disciples!"

"Hmph, they were simply seeking death. Those people couldn't even defeat me, how could they be a match for my master?"

"As a result, one by one, they all met their end!"

"My master often taught us that if we have enemies, we must never show any mercy. We must eliminate them completely to prevent future troubles..."

Upon hearing the little girl's final words, Zhang Daoxian couldn't help but shudder.

What does this mean?

Could it be that Liu Zimo came to Longhu Mountain to seek revenge and eliminate the root?

"So, the second thing we came to Longhu Mountain for..."

Xiao Feihong raised her voice and looked at Zhang Daoxian, saying crisply,

"...is to investigate whether those despicable Taoists are really disciples of Longhu Mountain."

"Definitely not!"

"The disciples of my Longhu Mountain are all hermits who do not concern themselves with worldly matters. How could they go to Luozhou to commit murder?"

"This must be someone impersonating disciples of Longhu Mountain, tarnishing our reputation. We absolutely cannot let them off lightly!"

Zhang Daoxian immediately rejected it without hesitation!

It must not be true, it absolutely cannot be true!

These three individuals are already hostile, and if they find an excuse to go on a rampage, how can today's matter end well?

As for Elder Liu and the others...

They can only blame their bad luck. They stepped on a trap and paid with their lives. It's their own fault, they brought it upon themselves!
