Monster Chronicles: My Daoist Skill Comes from Mythology

Donghua Jungle.

Refining the Golden Body in the Furnace of Eight Trigrams.

At the fourth transformation level, Song Lin has now achieved the ability to simultaneously refine his golden body and concoct pills.

One transformation takes ten years, the second a hundred years, the third a thousand years, the fourth ten thousand years, the fifth a hundred thousand years, the sixth a million years, the seventh ten million years, and the eighth a hundred million years.

This is the time required to cultivate to the eighth transformation, a hundred million years.

Normal spells are practiced step by step.

The Nine-Transformation Indestructible Body requires flames and pills, and it does not harm the original primordial energy.

The more pills there are, the more the cultivation time can be shortened.

As for the legendary Nine-Transformation Golden Body without weaknesses, immortal, it can only rely on opportunities.

Song Lin roughly calculated.

It takes about a hundred thousand years from the fourth to the fifth transformation; the flames of the Furnace of Eight Trigrams can accelerate this tenfold to ten thousand years.

One Third-Transformation Jade Pill crafted to the level of a treasure pill per day can reduce a hundred years of cultivation time.

It would take about three months.

This is already very fast, faster than the time needed to cultivate from the second to the fourth transformation originally.

This benefits from the improved alchemy proficiency.

First was the application of the Furnace of Eight Trigrams and the method of refining Spirit Pills into Treasure Pills, and only then was such a rapid cultivation method possible.

Although it becomes increasingly difficult later on, as long as alchemy skills improve, the basic time remains more or less the same.

If the Nine-Transformation Golden Core Technique could be refined, one pill might equal one cultivation stage.

However, this is too profound, even the Golden Cauldron True Man does not know what the legendary nine transformations look like.

In reality, Song Lin is only at the third transformation level.

Overall, the next goal is body refinement and alchemy.

With the wealth of experience in the story world, replicating it again becomes much simpler.

The level of alchemy in the real world should at least be raised to the sixth transformation; now it's just short of time.

What Song Lin precisely lacks is time.

He killed the son of the Heavenly Master, Zhengsi; although nothing has happened yet, fierce retaliation is sure to come in the future.

Whether openly or secretly.

The Heavenly Master, being so esteemed in the Taoist School, has a hundred ways to kill me.

That's why Song Lin appears so urgent.

Relying solely on Donghua Jungle is definitely not enough; outside force must be relied upon, either the Taoist Alliance or other Taoist schools.

Using the identity of a mage, on the one hand, to gain reputation, ideally penetrating into a core position within the Taoist Alliance.

Secondly, within the Taoist School, to gain allegiance from two jungles, preferably more.

Experts will arrive from Yin Spring Palace.

Two Thunder Tribulation Supreme Elders from Yin Spring Palace are enough to stir up a storm.

Song Lin does not want to rely on himself alone after all.

Fighting alongside elders is more interesting.

With these two experts, the Heavenly Master has to weigh whether to bear the heavy casualty costs of the Taoist School.

The rebels are always carefree, whereas the rulers worry about the jars and vases.

Perhaps they will die, but a large portion of the jungle will suffer heavy losses.

Song Lin is confident of achieving this and tarnishing the reputation of Holy Might.

Unfortunately, his foundation is still too shallow.

After cultivating for one night, Song Lin got up and went out.

Seven people gathered outside the door.

Last time, three hundred were selected, and these three hundred people are being trained in a secret place.

The training firstly tests their abilities, secondly their loyalty and disposition.

The treatment for people at the Evil Exorcism Altar is extremely high, more than twenty times that outside.

Those who enter will lose their names and have only codes, and their true faces must not be shown.

They cannot acknowledge the face under the mask.

Of course, the masks are specially treated to automatically recognize their masters, remembering the aura and self-destructing when removed.

To claim a mask, one must go to Xiangling.

This is the ability of the Divine Demon Xiangling.

"Greetings, Taoist!"

The seven knelt down in unison.

The leading Sword Guard possessed the Immortal Sword, with Perfect Core Formation cultivation. Born with a sword body, he mastered the Heavenly Escape Sword Technique early on.

After all, he was a talent selected by Master Zhi Xin, spending sixty years of Taoist Realm to select from all over the country, which is why he was entrusted with the important task by Song Lin.

"You will hold my token later, wherever you go they will cooperate with you, you must showcase the prowess of the Evil Exorcism Altar."

This is also to demonstrate strength to the people of the jungle.

If the Evil Exorcism Altar is not strong, there will be no deterrent effect.

"This time for the Dharma Assembly of the Old Qi, appointing you as the General of Exorcism."

"Start from the original twelve Taoist temples, sweeping and reorganizing along the way, and then meet at the jungle headquarters."

"Yes!"

The seven scattered, each holding a token.

Along the way, they slay demons if they encounter demons, and slay men if they encounter men.

Apart from demons, there are also evil cultivators, even the families of Taoists.

Three days later.

Donghua Jungle, in the Sun Jade Car in the clouds, Song Lin, along with Three Capitals, Cultivation Master Guu Yuchan, Swordman Master Yan Jiuge, Xiao Xuan, Luu Yunsheng and others, watched the dharma assembly.

"After this battle, the sky will be clear and bright, full of life and vitality."

Song Lin couldn't help but sigh.

If not living in this era, one would not know the absurdity of certain things.

Due to the Taoist Skill manifesting, many commoners are superstitious, but lack discernment, just a trickster can deceive countless people, making them willing to donate their property and wives.

Song Lin pulled out another battle report.

"This report from White Dragon Town is utterly absurd, hateful, and pitiful!"

This time the killed ones were an old witch over eighty and a scholar.

Three years ago, the only son of the scholar in White Dragon Town died prematurely, and the witch offered an idea that if he wanted to have more children, he must first kill those born in the same year as his son.

The scholar secretly arranged for the deaths of seven people, and sure enough, two years later, a big healthy boy was born.

The witch was good at deceiving, saying that if one hangs themselves, they can ascend to heaven and enjoy life; that night, eleven people committed suicide by hanging.

Recently, when people from the Evil Exorcism Altar went to investigate, they found that this witch had no cultivation whatsoever, her claims entirely baseless.

Right by chance, and she's a prophet; wrong, and she's insincere.

Ultimately, the witch and her associates were definitely executed.

The report was circulated among the people.

"They deserve death!" Wang Ziyue exclaimed angrily.

"And after killing them?" Song Lin asked back.

"Expose the truth to the people, so they won't be deceived again in the future," Qingyu said.

"That's impossible; this time it's fake, next time if someone with real abilities comes, won't they believe them again?"

Shi Yinhua countered, immediately seeing the problem.

"Therefore, a sweep from time to time is necessary."

Guu Yuchan concluded.

"Narrow-minded."

Song Lin shook his head, and everyone turned their gaze towards him.

"Yinhua is right, so we must establish an image of ourselves as the orthodox and legitimate one, except for the Donghua Sect members, except for temples personally approved by the Taoist Master, all others are immoral temples and evil cultivations; as for the rest, everyone's suggestions can be adopted."

"Of course, the most important point is to improve their living standards. Most who believe in evil gods are those with troubled lives and severely oppressed; the presence of evil gods is not determined by others but by us."

Song Lin said to Shi Yinhua and the others.

Donghua Jungle's liturgy requires certain Taoist Merit and coursework. He relaxed the coursework requirements, adding acts of rescue and chivalry, which earned less Taoist Merit but could be done in large quantities.

This ensured a reputation while solving problems of inadequate coursework virtue.

It's worth mentioning that if the above situations reveal spells to the public, it does not violate the Three Laws.

"We understand."

"Dust in the room needs frequent cleaning, with this stagnant Qi not dissipating, we don't rest slackly for a day."

Song Lin, combining concepts from reality and his previous life, proposed the concept of "stagnant Qi."

Stagnant Qi is stubborn energy: ghost energy, demon energy, evil Qi, demonic Qi, stagnant Qi, yin energy.

Most relate to ghosts, the dangers of which need no elaboration.

Evil Qi comes from evil cultivation, and stagnant Qi from old cultivators corresponding to Donghua cultivators.

Though they do not bear the title of evil cultivation, due to characteristics of their cultivation technique and style of conduct, their hazard can be significant, even far exceeding that of evil cultivation.

Evil cultivation, at least, is denounced by everyone, and Song Lin often defines it as an unregulated orthodox cultivation.

"Alright, the twelve Taoist temples are almost done, you take more disciples to the fifteen Taoist temples of Mei Mountain. The next task might be even more arduous; I will hold the fort for three days, then head to the Qimen Forest."

Three days, three days with no issues.

The crowd broke through with a swift momentum.

Feeling bored, Song Lin also headed to the Qimen Forest.

After the last Cloud Altar Tribulation, they roughly experienced their own strength.

If they want the jungle not to perish, they must firmly rely on the Mei Mountain Jungle.

This lecture might open a breakthrough.

Song Lin arrived at the Mechanical City.

Boom!

"Ah! It hurts!"

Upon entering, he heard Guu Ling's shout, the pain in the voice sending chills down one's spine.

Boom boom!

The Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Vermilion Bird, and Black Tortoise in four directions of the city came alive, their eyes glowing red, trampling on buildings madly.

Compared to the five-hundred-zhang-tall puppet mechanical divine beasts, the creatures and buildings below are as fragile as paper.

"Guu Ling, calm down!"

Fly Hong's voice came from nearby.

Only to see Fly Hong rise into the sky, transforming into sixteen avatars.

Each avatar had different abilities.

Unfortunately, the four divine beasts were too savage; even without using divine skills, the sixteen avatars still couldn't resist.

Seeing the heavy casualties, Song Lin finally took action.

"Taoist friend, stand back!"

Song Lin flew into the sky, his form rapidly enlarging.

Three-headed and six-armed, Fourth Transformation Golden Body.

With each arm restraining a divine beast, rendering them immobile.

"Mr. Song?"

Fly Hong exclaimed in shock.

"Quickly check on Guu Ling."

Song Lin said.

Although unclear on what happened, he suspected it was a sign of inner demon invasion.

Below, the people of Qimen Forest were wide-eyed, never imagining someone who could directly restrain a divine beast.

Unbelievable!

For a long time, the struggles of the divine beasts gradually subsided, eventually returning to their places and turning back into statues.

Song Lin reverted to his original form and returned to the Taoist Master Hall.

Guu Ling leaned powerlessly against a pillar, looking at Song Lin and managing a weak smile, "Thank you, brother, for your help!"

"Brother, what's this all about?"

"Inner demon invasion, that's all."
