The fatty's matter was very important, so I didn't linger and followed the Daoist child to the Tianyi Monastery.
Master Guan and the fatty were already waiting for me in the main hall.
When the fatty saw me, he looked a little nervous. It was obvious that he knew about the monster core.
Zhenren Guan hastily stood up. When he saw the Monster Core in my hand, his face lit up with joy. However, after receiving it, he told me that the Monster Core couldn't be consumed directly by the fatty. Instead, I had to stimulate the energy within it and let the fatty slowly absorb it.
This process would take around three days.
During this time, he hoped that I could protect him.
From what he said, it seemed that there would be some dangers during this process.
After asking, Master Guan nodded and told me the key point of the Seventh Middle School.
According to him, when we were treating the fatty, we had to stimulate the energy in the monster core.
Since the monster core contained a lot of energy, it was very attractive to spirits and ghosts. It was hard to guarantee that no monster would come to snatch the monster core.
Although the Tianyi Monastery was protected by a formation that prevented ordinary monsters and demons from approaching, I had to protect him just in case. This was the only way to ensure that nothing would go wrong.
Master Guan's suggestion was very reliable, so I didn't hesitate and agreed.
After everything was settled, he clasped his hands at me and said, "I need to take the fatty to make some preparations. Later, I'll start to treat the fatty."
As for me, I just needed to pay attention to the surroundings and not stray too far away.
Then, he took the fatty around the main hall and went to the inner room.
Before we left, I pulled the fatty and comforted him. "Don't be too nervous."
Actually, I was a little curious as well. The Zhanshi Faction's techniques were miraculous, but they were still within the realm of Dao Qi. However, the Yao Dan contained pure Demonic Qi. Using Demonic Qi to heal the fatty's injuries was highly likely to involve the transformation of two powers. I couldn't help but recall the True Dragon Veins Transformation Formation from a thousand years ago that I had seen in Shenzhen.
A thousand years ago, Prime Minister Wen had needed such a huge project to transform wizard energy and Dao energy. I wondered what kind of method Master Guan would use this time.
Although I yearned for it, the fatty's safety was more important.
I suppressed my curiosity and brought the sacrificial evil spirit and Tong Tong out of the hall. I wanted to take a look around.
Not long after I left, a layer of yellow smoke rose from the sky above the Tianyi Monastery, creating something that looked like a barrier.
This isn't the first time I've seen this barrier. Previously, outside the Spirit Lock Pagoda, Fatty had used this barrier to resist Monk Miaojue, who was at the Heavenly Master Seal Realm.
Based on this, the barrier should be able to resist the mountain spirits and ghosts below the Yangshen phase.
If a mountain spirit or ghost with Yang Spirit cultivation breaks through the barrier, I will be needed.
Of course, with my strength alone, I can deal with one or two evil creatures in the Yangshen Realm. If there are more, I have to ask the evil spirit and Tong Tong to deal with them.
As for whether or not there was an evil being that had a cultivation higher than the evil sacrificial spirit, I didn't think too much about it. The evil sacrificial spirit had always been invincible. As long as he was here, he would definitely be able to protect the fatty.
I felt relaxed and continued to wander around the Tianyi Monastery with the evil sacrificial spirit and Tong Tong. At the same time, I paid attention to the surroundings.
Around one hour later, I sensed a strong wave of energy coming from the direction of the hall. It seemed Zhenren Guan had started.
This wave of energy wasn't Dao energy, nor was it monster energy. It seemed to be pure spiritual energy.
This spiritual energy had a strong attraction to everything in the world, and it was the best tonic for ghosts and monsters. It was no wonder why Zhenren Guan had been so serious earlier.
Since Zhenren Guan had started, I was afraid that the Tianyi Monastery wouldn't be peaceful for the next three days.
As soon as I thought about this, a loud explosion came from above. This sound was especially clear in the enclosed Yellow Crown Mountain.
Coincidentally, we turned to look at the source of the sound. We saw a monster with a grimacing face lying in midair, punching the pale yellow barrier.
This monster's strength was only at the Ghost General Realm. It wasn't strong enough to shake the barrier.
After a while, it seemed to be exhausted. However, it didn't want to give up.
It opened its big mouth, wanting to use its sharp black teeth to break the barrier.
Unfortunately, it was too weak. In the end, it didn't succeed. It could only leave while swaying its body.
In the next few hours, more and more Demonic Ghosts arrived, attempting to break through the barrier.
Although they had tried their best, they couldn't even shake the barrier. They had to leave resentfully.
It seemed the barrier protecting the Tianyi Monastery wasn't ordinary. Ordinary monsters couldn't break it.
However, I didn't dare to be careless. It was just the first day, and so many ghosts and monsters had come. I didn't know what would happen in the future.
Fortunately, nothing unexpected happened on the second day. The number of ghosts and monsters was several times more than the first day. However, there was still no Yang Spirit Realm cultivator. They couldn't break the yellow barrier.
However, on the morning of the third day, the situation changed.
All of a sudden, a loud explosion came from the barrier. It was much louder than the previous ones, and the entire Yellow Crown Mountain was shaking.
I immediately took the evil sacrificial spirit and Tong Tong to the barrier.
As soon as we got close, we saw a dark cloud slowly descending from the sky. The aura that the dark cloud emitted made my heart sink.
This kind of strength was beyond my endurance. I guessed that the monster in the dark cloud had at least the middle stage of the Yang Spirit Celestial Master realm.
My face changed, but the evil sacrificial spirit didn't change his expression. He just glanced at the dark cloud, then looked away. He signaled me to be careful.
I nodded. When I was about to ask him what we should do, another loud explosion came from above.
After the previous monsters had hit the barrier many times, the yellow smoke barrier had been consumed a lot.
This time, with such a collision, it completely exploded.
The moment the barrier collapsed, the dark cloud flashed and dashed toward the main hall.
I was shocked. I wanted to call the evil sacrificial spirit to rush into the main hall, but when I turned around, the evil sacrificial spirit had already disappeared. In the next second, before the dark cloud could descend, the evil sacrificial spirit had appeared on the roof of the main hall and blocked the path of the dark cloud.
The dark cloud's eyes were clear. It didn't care about the evil sacrificial spirit blocking its way. Instead, it transformed into a human form and dashed toward the main hall.
How could the evil sacrificial spirit let it have its way?
His loose black robe fluttered, and his body was wrapped in thick shaman energy. In just a blink of an eye, the entire main hall was shrouded in it.
That figure sensed that something was wrong. He stopped and turned to look at the evil sacrificial spirit.
He was just a figure, and he didn't have the facial features of an ordinary person. I couldn't tell what his expression was.
I had told the evil sacrificial spirit that if it encountered something it couldn't deal with, it should defeat it as soon as possible.
Thus, the evil sacrificial spirit didn't delay. After protecting the main hall, it directly soared into the sky and attacked the figure.
At this moment, the figure seemed to recognize that the evil sacrificial spirit's power wasn't ordinary. He didn't dare to face it head-on.
Just as the fist was about to hit his face, he barely managed to dodge the attack, cutting a sorry figure.
The evil sacrificial spirit wasn't enraged. The shaman energy in his hands condensed into a ball, then he pushed it forward.
It was so fast that the figure couldn't react in time. In just a blink of an eye, he was sent flying backward.
At the same time, the evil sacrificial spirit flew forward and slapped the figure's chest.
With a roar, the figure turned into smoke and dust and dissipated in the air.
On Mount Lao, I had seen the evil sacrificial spirit injure the Yang God Celestial Master with one move. That figure's power seemed to be above the Elders of Mount Lao. I didn't expect that the evil sacrificial spirit could kill him so easily.
This made me even more curious about the evil sacrificial spirit's power. I wanted to know how strong he was.
After the evil sacrificial spirit landed, I chased after him and asked him about his cultivation base.
He still wore a calm face and answered indifferently, "He's only one step away from the Ascension God Realm."
Hearing this, I was startled.
That figure was so powerful, but he couldn't withstand three moves from the evil sacrificial spirit.
It seemed that the evil sacrificial spirit's power wasn't limited to the Yang God Ascension God Realm.
He seemed to know what I was thinking, but he didn't answer me. He shook his head and walked to a corner. He waved his hand and used his shaman energy to cover the entire hall.
The yellow smoke barrier had been broken, so he used his shaman energy to cover the hall. It was a good thing.
In the next few hours, there were still countless mountain spirits and ghosts rushing over, but fortunately, none of them were as powerful as the previous figure.
That was why the evil sacrificial spirit didn't take action. Tong Tong and I could deal with them easily.
At dusk, the aura in the hall disappeared. It seemed that Zhenren Guan had finished casting his spell.
It had been three days, but I didn't know if he had succeeded or not.
I asked the evil sacrificial spirit to remove the barrier. When I was about to enter the hall, Zhenren Guan opened the door and slowly walked out. However, I still didn't see the fat man.
At this moment, Zhenren Guan's face was pale. It seemed he had consumed a lot of energy during the past three days.
However, I didn't have time to worry about him. I walked forward and asked about the fat man's situation.
He paused for a moment and told me, "The treatment went smoothly. The fat man is fine now. However, he has consumed a lot of energy during the past three days, so he's still unconscious."
After hearing his words, I felt relieved.
Since the fat man was asleep, I didn't want to disturb him.
Then, I helped Zhenren Guan back to his room.
Since the fat man's problem was solved, I didn't have anything urgent to do. I planned to wait for the fat man to wake up before bidding farewell to Zhenren Guan and returning to Shenzhen.
Although I wasn't born and raised in Shenzhen, my fengshui shop had become the only place I could settle down after my parents had passed away.
Moreover, some of my friends were also in Shenzhen, so I could take care of them when I returned.
Moreover, I hadn't studied the second volume of the 'Death Scripture' since I had opened it. I could use this time to rest and reorganize.
For a long time, I had been tied down by many things, so I didn't have time to improve my strength.
Although my current battle prowess wasn't inferior to that of an ordinary Yang God Celestial Master, it was still far from enough to rescue Bi 'an from the hands of the Heavenly Dao.
This time, it was time to calm down and cultivate the second volume of the 'Death Scripture'.
When the fat man woke up, it was already noon the next day. I carefully asked about his situation and briefly told him about the matter of retrieving the monster core. Then, I mentioned that I was preparing to return to Shenzhen.
When the fat man heard this, he immediately got up from the bed and said that he wanted to go back with me.
I naturally welcomed him, but I had heard from Zhenren Guan that although the fat man's body had recovered, it would still take some time for him to return to his previous state.
Even though I only wanted to calm down and recuperate for a period of time, I've always been a jinx. Who knows if something dangerous will happen again?
Since the spiritual energy on Mount Huang Guan was abundant, it was most suitable for the fat man to stay here and continue his recovery.
Thus, I advised him that it wouldn't be too late to find me in Shenzhen after his strength had recovered.
When the fat man heard my words, although he was reluctant, he nodded and didn't mention this matter again.
After bidding farewell to Zhenren Guan, I brought the evil sacrificial spirit down the mountain and returned to Shenzhen.
Along the way, I had nothing to do, so I closed my eyes and nourished the sword energy in my body while recalling my recent experiences.
I went to the Spirit Lock Tower to deliver the prayer beads and opened the second volume of the 'Death Scripture'.
When I returned the Eastern Emperor Bell, I learned about the matter between Nangong and the Laoshan Headmaster.
Then, I returned to the Green Hill Country to retrieve the monster core to save the fat man.
On the surface, these matters didn't seem to be related, but after thinking about it carefully, there seemed to be some connection.
