This Taoist Master is too Frivolous

Chapter 355: Chapter 244: Are You That Little White Rabbit?

Inside the forest, the fog seemed to grow thicker.

Especially the pervasive eerie aura and Yin energy, which became more intense as they got deeper into the “Primitive Forest Park.”

Even Xu Yang, who had long been accustomed to living with ghosts and zombies, felt a bit uneasy in this environment.

On the contrary, Liu Shishi seemed quite at ease.

With every breath, wisps of “cloud and mist” flew into her nostrils, and the Yin energy around her gradually increased.

“Is this the technique Yue Niang taught you?”

Xu Yang was curious.

He had never seen Liu Shishi practice before.

Even Yang Yin had only managed to break through to the Red Robe level thanks to the help of the “Soul Condensing Bead.”

The strength of ordinary Yin spirits and malevolent beings is generally fixed at the moment they become Yin spirits.

They can only rely on their instincts to absorb Yin energy, unable to improve themselves in their lifetime, unless they encounter something extraordinary, like encountering a special Yin-sha site or finding a Yin Treasure.

As for Liu Shishi, it was only by absorbing a large amount of resentment and death energy from the battlefield that she could transform into the Ghost King.

It’s like everyone is under the same sky, breathing the same air. Those who cultivate can inhale and exhale, transforming spiritual aura into their own power, but ordinary people can’t do that!

“Yes.”

Liu Shishi nodded, and said, “Yue Niang elder sister said that this is her family’s secret technique. It’s quite remarkable even in the Underworld Palace. Now, my speed of refining the Yin-Sha energy has increased more than tenfold compared to before!”

“Of course, it also has something to do with the thick Yin-Sha energy here in Helan Mountain. Practicing here is much faster than practicing at home.”

“Oh?”

Xu Yang, upon hearing this, smiled and said, “In that case, when we’ve conquered Helan Mountain, let’s have someone build a villa on the mountain. Then we can come here to hunt and practice whenever we have free time. It’s not a bad idea for refining our temperament… huh?”

Suddenly, Xu Yang’s expression changed slightly.

Ahead, a strong wave of Yin energy and eerie aura came forth.

He was about to make a move when the Yin energy and eerie aura quickly dissipated. Xu Yang didn’t even see what had emitted it, so he cursed under his breath, “What the hell… what kind of ghost is this?”

“If it weren’t for my lack of knowledge in the Dao of Wind, I would definitely blow away this damn fog with a strong gust of wind.”

In the distance, three indistinct figures appeared through the fog.

Xu Yang shouted, “Are you comrades from the Spirits Management Bureau up ahead?”

The three Spirits Management Bureau members looked at each other, their faces not showing any joy from their narrow escapes, but rather, they became even more vigilant!

The team leader, holding a knife in one hand and a gun in the other, looked at the hazy figure in the fog and asked in a deep voice, “Who are you? What are you doing in Helan Mountain?”

“I’m Xu Yang.”

“I came to Helan Mountain for a visit.”

Xu Yang’s voice entered the ears of the three people, and he walked out of the fog, his vague figure becoming clearer.

“Bang!”

The next moment, the middle-aged man suddenly pulled the trigger.

A silver bullet shot out of the chamber, spinning at high speed and heading straight for Xu Yang’s forehead.

Xu Yang was shocked!

What the fuck!

This guy actually shot me?

He reflexively held out two fingers to clamp the bullet, stopping it just 3 centimeters away from his brow. Then, with a flick of his hand… whoosh!

The bullet flew out and exploded as it embedded itself in the trunk of a tree.

With a loud bang, the trunk of the large tree was blasted apart, and the huge canopy toppled over, crashing to the ground.

Xu Yang’s face turned green.

What kind of bullet was that?

It even exploded after being shot out?

It’s a good thing he just caught the bullet with his fingers. Otherwise, if it had hit his face, his face would likely have swollen from the blast!

“What are you doing?”

He angrily asked, “Are you blind? You don’t recognize me?”

Even if they didn’t recognize him, hadn’t they heard of his illustrious name, Xu Yang?

The middle-aged man, seeing Xu Yang like this, was first taken aback.

Then, putting down his gun, he said with a look of surprise, “You… Are you really Master Xu?”

“Master Xu!”

“It’s really Master Xu!”

The other two also let down their guard and vigilance and rejoiced.

Xu Yang: “…”

The middle-aged man quickly took a few steps forward, bowed with his fist, and said, “Silver City branch of the Spirits Management Bureau, Ma Sanpao, pays respects to Master Xu.”

The other two also came forward to bow with their fists.

This was the martial world’s etiquette, so Xu Yang could only hold back his anger, return the gesture, and ask, “What’s going on? I revealed my identity, and you still shot at me?”

Ma Sanpao smiled bitterly, “Master Xu, please don’t take offense… It’s not that we are blind, but we have encountered too many strange things in the mountain these three days. Every night, some Yin spirits and malevolent beings would transform into people we know to deceive us.”

After a pause, he continued, “They even transformed into your image… ”

“What?”

Upon hearing this, Xu Yang was first incredulous, then laughed angrily, and said coldly, “These Yin spirits and malevolent beings of the mountain have great audacity… They dare to impersonate me, Xu Yang. Don’t they know how powerful my big hammer is?”

Xu Yang’s magical power surged, Daoist skills burst forth, and lightning flashed around him as thunderbolts sprouted above his head. For a moment, the surrounding mist was forcibly dispersed.

“Ding!”

“The fierce ghost is frightened, and you gain +30 merit points.”

“Ding!”

“The mountain ghost is frightened, and you have +100 merit points, +1 constitution, and +1 Land Spirit Skill.”

“Ding… ”

“Hmm?”

The system prompt in Xu Yang’s mind made his gaze shift slightly.

He looked around, but the fog in the distance obscured everything, making it impossible to see anything clearly.
