Celestial Master： I Have an Otherworld-Chapter 191 - 73: Evasion (Part 2)

This item comes from that woman who commands ghosts.

It has an easy-to-understand name, Ghost Nurturing Pouch.

Also known as the Five Ghosts' Pouch.

It's a magical artifact used by people of the Evil Dao.

This item can nurture underworld souls, and when deployed against enemies, it can assist in killing. It can also command ghosts to do things unseen, like the Five Ghosts Transport to steal things.

Ghosts are invisible, difficult to see with the naked eye.

Although it's like using a sledgehammer to crack a nut for petty theft, it's indeed quite suitable, especially in modern times where there are no warlocks, rendering it unchecked.

"No, not at all!"

Fang Zheng shook his head:

"I'm a good person, and I earn enough to spend, there's no need to steal."

Opening the Five Ghosts' Pouch, inside is a strange spirit talisman woven with silk threads, with densely packed characters as small as rice grains beside it.

It records the Ghost Nurturing Skill.

The skill is extremely detailed, from how to nurture ghosts to how to control them is all included. It doesn't matter even if you're not a warlock, you can use your own vital blood to nurture ghosts.

However, using vital blood to nurture ghosts will damage your lifespan.

"Isn't this a complete heritage."

Fang Zheng gripped the Five Ghosts' Pouch tightly, looking again at his injured arm:

"Heal first."

......

"Crackle..."

Electric light sparkled.

Fang Zheng sat cross-legged in the electric web formed by arcs, quietly operating the Elemental Thunder Skill, Thunder Concealment Heart Method, harmonizing his breathing with the flickering arcs.

The electric light flickered, and the wounds on his arm began to heal at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Even his physical body was tempered along with it.

"It's indeed an excellent legacy, truly extraordinary."

Opening his eyes, Fang Zheng contemplated:

"The Power of Thunder Life and Death seems to be a nemesis of Martial Arts True Qi, at least the Scorching Fire Force in that Master Yin's palm technique can be eradicated by the Elemental Thunder Skill."

"If I were to cultivate True Qi, I would have no fear of the opponent's Fire Force."

"The Ancient Thunder Department..."

"I wonder if there are more such legacies?"

Ever since acquiring the Elemental Thunder Skill, he has been collecting some records about the antiquity of the Otherworld, where truth and lies are hard to differentiate.

He further learned from Zhang Mingrui's mouth what Divine Treasure is.

It's said that in the extremely remote ancient times, human great powers observed heaven, earth, divine spirits, all things, comprehended the ultimate truths of the Dao, deriving many cultivation techniques, gathered into volumes.

Known as the Ancient Divine Treasure.

Human prospering emerged with the appearance of Divine Treasure.

As time passed, the Ancient Divine Treasure has long been lost, but occasionally fragments appear in the world.

The One-Character Heart-Clearing Slash and Elemental Thunder Skill both come from the Divine Treasure.

Aside from the Divine Treasure, there's also the Daoist Canon.

Many years ago, the Zhou Dynasty unified Huaxia, suppressed various feudal lords, established the Daoist orthodoxy, and sages created the Three Caves Daoist Canon.

Daoism,

thus flourished greatly.

Today's Profound Celestial Dao, Celestial Master Dao, Fangxian Sect, and Pure Yang Palace, among others, when traced back to their roots, are mostly related to the Three Caves Daoist Canon.

Unfortunately.

Over time, the Daoist Canon has also scattered among the human world, no longer complete.

The previous dynasty,

namely the Chu Dynasty.

The founding monarch was ambitious, hoping to emulate the sages and reestablish the Daoist Canon.

During that century, the Chu Dynasty collected all kinds of laws in the world, suppressed various Daoist orthodoxy and sects, built the Ninefold Celestial Palace to accommodate all treasures under heaven.

The Celestial Palace,

a legendary place claimed to contain countless rare treasures of the world, thus the name.

This Daoist Canon collected folk cultivation techniques and ancient secret transmissions, compiled by a group of grandmasters and masters, totaling 1,800 volumes, known as the Celestial Palace Treasure.

Later, the previous dynasty experienced 500 years of turbulent times, showing signs of downfall, and was overthrown by the current dynasty, the Celestial Palace Daoist Canon also lost to the populace.

So, when people refer to the Daoist Canon, it's not just one collection, but actually there are three.

Ancient Divine Treasure!

Three Caves Daoist Canon!

Celestial Palace Treasure!

It's not necessary to say which is complete or which is stronger, as modern people may not lag behind ancients, but it's generally believed the Three Caves Daoist Canon is the most prominent.

This is because of its association with many Daoist orthodoxies around the world.

As for the Ancient Divine Treasure...

There are very few rumors even in common lore, with many taboo places in it, only some Evil Cults still bitterly pursuing it.

"Phew..."

Exhaling stale air, Fang Zheng gently moved his wrist.

The injury hadn't fully healed, but it no longer affected normal activities.

"The Beggar Gang's stronghold at the Zhang Mansion was challenged!"

"Jiao Gu is dead too!"

"Really satisfying..."

"Be cautious with words."

In the courtyard, Wu Hai and the others gathered, whispering among themselves.

"What now?"

"I've heard that every family has started withdrawing their guards, the patrol teams disbanded, wasn't our money wasted then?"

"If you ask me, it's a good thing we won't have the Beggar Gang people circling here every day. It always made me uneasy."

"I heard a great expert from the Beggar Gang came, won't he intervene?"

"He's said to be a great expert, why would he bother with such trifles involving us?"

"..."

"Cough, cough!"

Fang Zheng lightly coughed with his hand covering his mouth as he walked out the door.

"Master!"

"Master!"

"Young Master Fang."

Everyone stood up to salute him, even Liu Qinghuan, who was sitting under a tree cracking melon seeds, stood up, gaze flickering slightly, wanting to speak but stopping.

"Master."

Wu Hai stepped forward, saying:

"The Beggar Gang..."

"I know." Fang Zheng raised his hand to interrupt him:

"What are your thoughts?"

"This..." Wu Hai hesitated, saying:

"Without the guards patrolling, if we encounter a large-scale refugee riot again, we few are afraid we won't be able to watch over the courtyard."

"How about..."

"Hire more guards?"

"Where will we find suitable guards at such times?" Fang Zheng shook his head:

"Even if we brought them in, it might just be inviting wolves into the house."

"The master has a point." Old Liu nodded urgently:

"I feel that it's best to quickly set up traps to block the refugees. When the time comes, it could at least hold off a bit, couldn't it?"

The city's situation was getting increasingly tense, even they felt an urgent pressure.

No one knew when the riots might come.
