This Taoist Master is too Frivolous

Chapter 304: Chapter 214: How Did His Cultivation Improve So Quickly?_2

Whoosh!

The White Snake couldn’t stand it any longer and turned into a white streak, breaking through the bottom of the lake and flying out.

As it emerged from the lake, it transformed into a beautiful woman in white, immediately burrowing into Wang Hou’s embrace, tears streaming down her face, “Mr. Wang… I thought you’d ignore me for the rest of your life!”

Wang Hou gently patted the woman’s back, whispering, “How could I…?”

“Didn’t you say that humans and demons are on different paths?”

“What I meant by humans and demons are truly different, not humans and demons…”

“Don’t you mind my age?”

“You’re a powerful demon, youthful and long-lived. Your age isn’t that much, just about a thousand years older than me!”

Wang Hou thought…

Xu Yang accepted ghosts and zombies.

A snake demon with such beauty, why couldn’t I accept her?

At least… there’s precedent!

Wang Hou’s thoughts raced, and he couldn’t help but think of Grandmaster Chengming, thinking to himself, “Ghosts, zombies, and demons are one thing… but how does Senior Chengming handle that tree spirit of his?”

“Moreover, he’s of the Quanzhen Sect… they aren’t allowed to marry!”

At this very moment.

Xi’an.

Zongsheng Palace.

Below the ginkgo tree, Grandmaster Chengming, clad in a purple robe, was lying on a rattan chair chatting and laughing with the tree spirit.

The tree spirit hadn’t fully recovered yet but could already express its emotions by waving its branches… A branch fell down and gently brushed against Grandmaster Chengming’s face.

The six hundred-year-old Daoist’s eyes reddened immediately…

As for the matter Wang Hou was worried about, the elder Daoist had never thought about it.

After all, as one gets older, one can’t compare to young people… Some needs can be forgone!

……..

Xu Yang didn’t know any of this.

At this moment, he had already bid farewell to his five beautiful wives and was driving alone to Helan Mountain.

Helan Mountain is located northwest of Silver City and is about 90 kilometers from it… Xu Yang took the highway from Wu City to Helan Mountain, bypassing Silver City.

Now, during the scorching summer, Helan Mountain would usually be bustling, with many tourists choosing to come here for its cool environment.

However, a few years ago, the road to the mountain was sealed off, and the entire scenic area was closed to the public.

The official reason was the discovery of leopards in the mountain… but Xu Yang knew that the closure was most likely related to the Huishan Demon!

Back then, the Huishan Demon was so badly beaten by Wang Hou that he didn’t dare to venture out of the mountain, but if anyone entered the mountain, they wouldn’t stand a chance against the Demon King’s power and the terrifying Dream Creation Skill.

Since it used to be a scenic area, parking facilities must have been standard.

Xu Yang parked in an outdoor parking lot.

This parking lot had been abandoned for several years, and weeds had grown all around it. To his surprise, there were already two cars parked there.

These were two large off-road vehicles, one pink and one camouflage. The bodies were covered in graffiti, and the tires were coated in mud, showing that the owners enjoyed driving them.

Not paying much attention, Xu Yang began hiking up the mountain.

There are many attractions on Helan Mountain, such as the Baici Temple Twin Pagodas, Xiaogun Bell Pass, Suyukou Forest Park, and Helan Mountain Rock Paintings. Among them, the Helan Mountain Rock Paintings are perhaps the most famous and well-known.

These rock paintings, hailed as the “stone epics,” are full of mystery and legend. They date back tens of thousands of years. Some say they were left by extraterrestrials, while others say they were left by sages of ancient times. But their origin remains unknown.

Among these rock paintings, the most famous is the “Helan Mountain Sun God.”

The paintings depict many strange patterns, even one of people worshipping the sun god. Xu Yang climbed the mountain, secretly using his lightness skill, and quickly visited these attractions.

As it grew dark,

Xu Yang, eager to break through, didn’t waste time exploring and headed straight to the “Xi Xia Detached Palace Ruins.”

This “Xi Xia Detached Palace” is a relic of the historic Xi Xia Kingdom. It was a summer retreat built by the emperor of Xi Xia Kingdom, which was rebuilt when the Helan Mountain scenic area was established.

Since Helan Mountain had been sealed off, there were no tourists here, and it was exceptionally quiet.

Xu Yang entered the palace, chose a pavilion to sit under, and was about to begin his cultivation when a burst of laughter rang out. He saw three men and two women walk in.

They were carrying backpacks, wearing outdoor clothing, and one of the girls was holding a phone stand, apparently live-streaming. Upon entering the Xi Xia Detached Palace Ruins, she addressed her phone, “Guys, we’ve found a place… We’ll rest here today. I’m going offline now, and I’ll see you back in the live stream at 9 PM.”

Then the five of them spread a cloth on the ground, took out food and water from their backpacks, and prepared to eat something…

One girl looked up, her gaze directly at the pavilion where Xu Yang was sitting, and immediately yelled in surprise, “Ah!” She jumped and shouted, “There’s someone…!”

The few of them looked at each other, and the girl regained her composure, saying, “Handsome guy, I’m sorry, I didn’t expect to meet anyone here… Are you alone? Do you want to come over and eat something?”

Xu Yang shook his head and said, “Thanks, but I just ate… Are you planning to stay the night here in the mountains?”

Seeing them nod, Xu Yang advised, “While it’s still light out, get down the mountain as soon as possible. It’s not safe here.”

He wasn’t lying.

Just now, when he wandered around the mountain, Xu Yang did find quite a few anomalies.

In some places, there were lingering demon energies, like the Yin energy residue in this Xi Xia Detached Palace site… This was normal, after all, there were many Yin spirits and malevolent beings these days, and this place was rarely visited by humans, making it the perfect habitat for these creatures.

He had good intentions.

However, the others misunderstood Xu Yang’s meaning, and the girl laughed, “You mean the leopards? It is said that there are leopards on Helan Mountain… but no one has ever seen them. Honestly, our main reason for coming here was to search for traces of the leopards.”

“Not leopards, but demons and ghosts!”

Since many pieces of information have already been released by the country, Xu Yang didn’t feel the need to hold back and directly said: “It’s not safe here in the mountain. There may be Yin spirits and malevolent beings lurking around. It’s dangerous for all of you to stay here.”

As soon as these words came out, the group laughed again.

The woman retorted, “If that’s the case, why don’t you go down the mountain?”

Xu Yang was taken aback, asking, “You don’t recognize me?”

The group exchanged glances and then shook their heads in unison. The girl even asked, “Are you a big internet celebrity…? You don’t look like one, though.”

Internet celebrity my ass!

Xu Yang was speechless for a while.

So all my trending moments these days were for nothing?

Anyway, since there were already people staying here, it was no longer suitable for him to cultivate here. Xu Yang immediately left the Xi Xia Detached Palace and came to a nearby mountain valley.

The place had beautiful scenery, luxuriant trees, and was quite peaceful.

“It’s better to breakthrough sooner and go home to sleep…”

With a thought, Xu Yang’s system panel appeared in front of him.

Looking at the numbers in the system attribute’s Merit Points column, Xu Yang couldn’t help but smile…

He had never fought such a “rich” battle!

“System, upgrade my cultivation level!”

With a thought.

Ding!

“Merit Points -50000.”

The system notification sounded, and Xu Yang felt his cultivation level skyrocket instantly. His aura increased significantly in the blink of an eye, and although he did not successfully break through to the peak of the Entering Dao Realm, he was not far off!

Keep upgrading!

“Ding!”

“Merit Points -4000.”

This time, Xu Yang only converted 4000 merit points.

However, his cultivation level was already close to the breakthrough limit. As the 4000 merit points were converted, it was as if an invisible shackle binding him had been broken, causing his momentum to surge once again, and he directly stepped into the peak of Entering Dao Realm!

“What?”

In the sea of knowledge, the little “Snake” was shocked: “How… How did his cultivation level increase so fast?”

…
