I will become the Demon Immortal known to the whole world-Chapter 34 - Taoist Way Departure

“I believe in you.”

Though Shu Yu couldn’t see the expression beneath the mask, he must have been spirited and proud.

The youngster turned around—

And stepped into the curtain of rain.

“Farewell!”

“Farewell!”

…

In his own courtyard’s kitchen, Liang Hui boiled a large barrel of hot water.

He took off his blood-stained black clothes and set aside his weapons and spoils, then jumped into the wooden barrel to wash up.

In an instant, warmth engulfed his body, bringing immense comfort.

Leaning against the edge of the barrel, he listened to the sound of the falling rain. He planned to leave once the rain stopped, and further planned to buy a carriage to facilitate the transport of the medicinal herbs and other miscellaneous items.

Afterward, he began to replay the day’s battles in his mind, checking for any mistakes or areas that could have been performed better.

To summarize and correct in the next fight.

It wasn’t long before the mental replay finished, and he reached out to grasp the Taoist Scripture, “Yellow Sand Minor Scripture,” placed on top.

The scripture was still quite alluring to him at this moment.

In his scarce knowledge of Taoist teachings, he was only aware of the names of the first few realms, the rest was unclear.

Whether it was that segment of memory which seemed to be from the future, or the time he spent with Divine Maiden Qingyi, they seldom spoke on the topic.

He only knew that the first two realms for Taoist practitioners were named: Qi Nourishing and Warm Nurturing.

Caressing the book, feeling its smoothness, Liang Hui’s eyes twinkled with mirth.

Now he should be able to roughly understand the Taoist path.

Without hesitation, he flipped open the “Yellow Sand Minor Scripture.”

The Taoist Scripture was profound and difficult to comprehend; even with Liang Hui’s ‘dream’ experiences in others’ minds and a certain foundation, he could only barely understand it.

As he delved deeper into the Taoist Scripture, Liang Hui’s brows furrowed.

He exhaled deeply,

letting out a breath of turbid air, then carefully closed the Taoist Scripture and placed it beside him.

‘Qi Nourishing to grant talismans, Warm Nurturing to transform the Life Origin, these are the first four realms of a Taoist practitioner?’

Liang Hui murmured to himself.

Understanding only these four realms wasn’t the reason for Liang Hui’s frowning.

The real reason was that the paths of the Martial Artist and Taoist arts were not compatible in the early stages.

Only after a Martial Artist began Internal Refining of the three elements, or a Taoist practitioner completed the granting of talismans, could one engage in both paths.

Such a restriction was undoubtedly making it impossible for Liang Hui to explore the Taoist path in the short term.

“It seems I must continue down the path of the Martial Artist for now.”

Liang Hui slowly stood up, took the towel next to him and began to dry his body, then changed into a clean blue cotton robe.

Picking up his spoils from the ground, he started to inventory them.

A pair of blue, thin-as-cicada-wing boxing gloves, the Taoist Scripture “Yellow Sand Minor Scripture,” a small bag of highly toxic Black Sand, over a dozen gold leaves (found in the houses of the Chen Residence), a small bag of crushed silver, and a large number of precious medicinal herbs.

To Liang Hui, these medicinal herbs were the most valuable items next to the Taoist Scripture.

Most of the harvested herbs were suitable for the sinew refining level, a few for the bone refining stage, and several for the internal refining level.

But this was just a very small portion of what Liang Hui took from the Chen Family, as he didn’t take much of the rest of the goods because they were inconvenient to carry, which ended up benefitting the authorities.

However, this skirmish also cost him his spear and many arrows, all of which needed to be replenished before setting off on his journey.

Walking to the bedroom, Liang Hui took out the jerky stored under the bed and began to eat it heartily.

To replenish his exhausted physical strength, Qi-Blood, and inner strength.

The next day, early morning.

The golden sun rose, piercing through the rosy clouds, bringing warmth to the city.

However, the sudden arrival of two pieces of news prevented the people in the city from feeling the warmth of the sunlight.

The Chen Family, one of Yuanshui City’s two great clans, was annihilated yesterday afternoon.

Although the authorities killed the bandits who caused the disturbance, they couldn’t prevent the demise of the Chen Family.

The other piece of news was that the Wang Family’s eldest young master passed away due to illness last night, and his father, the family head, distraught over his son’s death, also passed away. The old family head’s second son is now taking over as the new family head.

The disclosure of these two news items made all the major forces in the city aware of the anomaly and they mobilized their people to investigate and search.

The person who had caused the turmoil in Yuanshui City was already approaching the city gates in a horse-drawn carriage.

At that moment, due to the Wang and Chen Family incidents, the city gates were closed.

“Who goes there? The city gates are closed to capture criminals, irrelevant personnel leave quickly!” a fully-armed soldier shouted sternly, blocking the path of the carriage.

“I’ve already made arrangements with your lord, I’m allowed to pass, go ask your superior.” Liang Hui sat at the front of the carriage, holding the reins, and spoke gently.

Seeing how at ease the visitor was, the soldier didn’t dare to say much more.

He had one of his fellow soldiers stay in place while he went to the side at a quick pace.

Soon, a young man dressed in copper armor and in the attire of an officer, hurried to the front of the carriage.

With a respectful demeanor, he said, “Are you leaving, sir?”

Liang Hui wasn’t surprised that the officials were aware of his presence, as some arrows he left in the Chen Family hadn’t been retrieved.

What did surprise him was the familiar figure in front of him.

“Hwu… you’ve stopped being a manhunter?”

“Sir, my name is Hwu Miao, and I’m not suitable for case deductions, so I was transferred here,” the young man responded.

He paused as if recalling something.

Quickly reaching into his chest, he took out a handful of silver taels and offered them.

“Sir, this is the reward from last night’s earnings. We offended you last time.”

Looking at the nervous Hwu Miao, Liang Hui reached out, picked up a piece of the crushed silver, and said softly, “This is enough, now open the gate!”

“Yes, sir.”

Hwu Miao had a joyous expression on his face.

He turned around.

And shouted loudly, “Open the gates!”

Creak! Creak!…

The city gates slowly opened, the young man holding the reins urged the carriage, and drove out of the city.

Not until the carriage disappeared from sight did Hwu Miao’s respectful face relax, instructing the soldiers to close the gates.

He immediately headed for the City Lord’s Mansion.

….

An unknown place.

On mountain ranges that soared into the heavens, four figures stood together.

One figure was alluring yet dominating, seemingly the center of the world merely by standing there, commanding the attention of all.

At that moment, she stood with her hands clasped behind her back, at the edge of a cliff, looking down upon the clouds.
