Start as a Temple Spirit

Chapter 220: Year Tree Crystal

It was this half-asleep, half-awake state that allowed Shang Liangshan to relive the almost blurred memories of his previous life.

This review was very timely and saved his life, because the first volume of the Tao Te Ching, Tai Chi Diagram, was based on this review.

Otherwise, he would be either killed by the thunder or crippled.

Recalling this, Shang Liangshan couldn't help but blame himself for not having enough education, because he only remembered the first volume of Tao Te Ching and Tai Chi Diagram.

This is like entering a treasure, but because of one's limited strength, one can only hold two gold bricks and escape from the treasure that is about to disappear.

Wait, Taoist nine-character mantra and hand gestures.

Shang Liangshan recalled that he had watched videos in his previous life and learned the nine-character mantra and hand gestures.

As for why he learned the nine-character mantra and hand gestures, every boy has dreamed of becoming a hero or catching ghosts.

Thinking of this, his whole body became excited and he decisively threw away the memory of his experience of surviving the thunder tribulation.

Fortunately, he recalled the Taoist nine-character mantra and hand gestures.

After strengthening his memory, Shang Liangshan breathed a sigh of relief. He did not immediately test whether it worked or not. Instead, he decided to give himself a break and then think carefully about the next step.

So he stood up, stretched, and started doing the ninth set of radio gymnastics, 1234.2234…

After a warm-up, his figure flashed, disappeared from the spot, and appeared on the rock peak.

"Haha, the old man knew that you, Liangshan, would come out to relax. Come, have a cup of tea and feel the taste of tea. This is suitable for you to take on a spiritual body." The old patriarch greeted Shang Liangshan cheerfully when he saw him appear.

"Haha, it's better to arrive at the right time than to arrive early." Taoist Priest Liu came riding on a cloud, but the cloud was a little thin.

Shang Liangshan looked at the clouds and mists under Liu Weizi's feet and couldn't help but complain: "Master Liu, are you riding the clouds and mists, or are the clouds and mists riding you?"

Taoist Priest Liu flew down upon hearing this, waved his hand to gather up the mist and said, "Liang Shan, you have to learn to see through things without saying anything."

"Be careful next time." Shang Liangshan nodded and walked towards the pavilion.

"Chief of the clan, you didn't hear anything just now, right?" Taoist Liu said to the old clan leader as they walked.

"What did I say just now? Yes, yes, the old man invited you two to come for tea." The old patriarch looked as if he had just remembered.

Shang Liangshan ignored the two old guys. He suppressed his excitement, picked up the teacup and tasted the tea in it.

As the warm tea took a sip, the familiar yet unfamiliar taste reached his taste buds, making him feel like he was reborn.

This feeling cannot be expressed in words.

The old clan leader and Taoist Priest Liu, intentionally not to disturb Shang Liangshan from reminiscing about the past, started chatting idly.

There is always a time for aftertaste. Shang Liangshan put down his teacup and said with emotion: "It is better to savor life than to have an endless aftertaste."

"Haha, that's a great thing to say. I used to savor life, but now I can savor it endlessly." Taoist Priest Liu laughed heartily and drank a cup of tea.

"You two's perception is the opposite of ours." The old patriarch laughed.

What the old patriarch said is absolutely correct. The suffering mortals want to be more detached from the world, while the masters who are more detached from the world enter the world of mortals to gain experience. Isn't this the opposite of what is going on?

"Master Liu, Liangshan has a question for you to ask?" Shang Liangshan asked.

"Just speak without reservation, I will tell you everything." Taoist Priest Liu straightened his body.

"It's Xiaocao's business. His racial restrictions are a problem after all."

"Little Grass..." Taoist Priest Liu pondered for a while before saying, "There is only one way to completely resolve the racial restrictions of Little Grass, and that is to let Little Grass devour the Millennium Tree Crystal."

"The Millennium Tree Crystal is the demon crystal of the Millennium Tree Demon."

"Thousand-year-old tree crystals are very popular and are almost not available on the market."

"Is there a thousand-year-old tree monster there?" Shang Liangshan asked.

"It's in the depths of the Shiwan Mountains, but you can't go to Liangshan." Taoist Priest Liu, who knew the intention of Shang Liangshan, shook his head and said.

"Huitong Trading Company doesn't have thousand-year-old tree crystals to sell?" asked the old patriarch.

"Some of them were snatched away and sold by Dan Xiu. With Brother Yu's status, you can't touch this thing."

"Is there no other alternative?" Shang Liangshan asked with a frown.

"Yes, there are, but they are of little use to the grass. Let me go back to Xuanxu Sect and ask around. If there is any, I will bring it back next year. The grass must be above level six, so there is still time."

"Thank you very much, Brother Liu. By the way, what are Heizi's restrictions?" After expressing his gratitude, the old patriarch asked about Heizi's restrictions.

“Heizi…” Taoist Priest Liu glanced at Shang Liangshan, then said with a strange expression: “Heizi seems to have a method of inheritance, so the restrictions have been resolved.”

"That's true. Heizi is lucky. When he broke through level six, he obtained the Ghost Eagle inheritance, and the restrictions can be ignored." Shang Liangshan nodded.

"Kuroko is very blessed." The old patriarch was really happy for Kuroko.

"Speaking of race, do you know about Xiaoli's situation?" Taoist Priest Liu thought of Nine-Tailed Fox's experience.

"I know. Taoist Xuanzhen told us." The old patriarch said after taking a sip of tea.

"Liang Shan, what do you think?"

"Xiao Li is free, he can leave whenever he wants." Shang Liangshan said as he lay down.

"Your mentality is much better than mine." Taoist Priest Liu praised.

The nine-tailed fox, a powerful spiritual pet that many people dream of, but Shang Liangshan has no desire for it at all.

"The old man believes in Xiaoli. It will come back after it returns to the tribe. Forgotten Township is its home." The old patriarch said confidently.

"I'm afraid the tribe won't let us go." Taoist Priest Liu shook his head.

"Is Xiaoli's bloodline very high?" Shang Liangshan asked.

"I knew I couldn't hide it from you." Taoist Priest Liu said solemnly, "Elder, in fact, there is another message coming, which tells about Xiaoli's identity."

"What identity?" the old patriarch asked.

"King-level bloodline." Taoist Priest Liu slowly uttered these four words.

"This is impossible. The old man asked the people in the Fox Village, and he found out that Xiaoli was picked up and raised by the old fox fairy in the Fox Village. When Xiaoli was picked up by the old fox fairy, he was still a tiny kid and survived by drinking milk." The old patriarch shook his head.

"It should be an illegitimate child." Shang Liangshan expressed his guess.

When Taoist Xuanzhen said that after the fox clan had gone through training, Xiaoli found Shang Liangshan and told him about his life experience.

It was an orphan adopted by an old fox fairy since childhood, so naturally there was no such thing as it being able to go out and gain experience at level three.

"That's the problem. A bastard of royal blood is a big deal."

"Little Fox has no guardian. When it breaks through to level six, will the fox clan be able to sense it?" The old patriarch thought of another possibility.

"As long as there are blood relatives, the fox tribe can sense it."

"We'll see then. If Xiaoli doesn't want to go back to recognize his parents, then don't go back." Shang Liangshan stated his decision.

"If there can be no conflict, then don't have it. The fox fairy is very powerful."

"I understand. If the Fox Clan comes forcefully, I will just endure it."

"These words make me feel murderous." Taoist Priest Liu said with a wry smile.

"If you don't take revenge, you are not a gentleman. If you endure and then take revenge, you are a real man." said the old patriarch Tiancha.
