Monster Chronicles: My Daoist Skill Comes from Mythology-Chapter 323 - 289: Encirclement by Three Parties, 9th Revolution Golden Core

"This is Shi Yinhua. From now on, you will coordinate with him."

Song Lin pointed to Shi Yinhua and introduced them to each other.

The young girl Xiangling was accompanied by two middle-aged men. After learning the details of the matter, they expressed great trust in Song Lin.

Song Lin even thought this sect was quite interesting.

After meeting, Song Lin imparted the contents of the Netherworld Demon Scripture Map prior to Core Formation to them.

However, he only restricted it to the Thirty-Six Heavenly Gang Divine Demon Forms.

The Thirty-Six Heavenly Gang Divine Demon Forms have thirty-six states: Sword Demon, Fire Demon, Blade Demon, Poison Demon, and others.

Only by cultivating all thirty-six forms can one achieve the highest level, the strongest Divine Demon physique.

True Divine Demons are entities capable of destroying the heavens and the earth, not mere transformations into different forms.

The three were ecstatic, and they bowed deeply in gratitude.

Song Lin was not fond of using restrictions to control others. As the saying goes, "Trust whom you use, and don’t use whom you suspect." Since he chose to cooperate with the other party, he placed his trust fully in them.

Soon, Song Lin returned to Donghua Jungle.

Donghua Jungle was now on the right track. Coupled with revenue from the Ghost Market, Donghua Jungle’s annual income had broken the ten-million mark.

He didn’t even know how to spend this money.

Regardless, as long as one was an official Taoist disciple, they received an annual quota of pills and magic artifact materials, as well as monthly salaries.

After a series of welfare improvements, the basic expenses of Donghua Jungle reached two million annually.

This accounted for one-fifth of the revenue.

Additionally, the rental for the blessed land took up around two-fifths of the annual expenses.

The remaining money was either saved or exchanged for advanced cultivation resources.

At the Taoist Soldier Hall of Donghua Jungle.

This location was deep in the mountains, independent of the Taoist Temple.

Boom!

At this moment, the mountain housing the Taoist Soldier Hall suddenly trembled slightly.

"Excellent!"

"It succeeded!"

Wang Ziyue’s sturdy figure was covered in dust, his Taoist robe dirtied, his hair a chaotic bird’s nest.

Everyone around was in a similar state, but their faces were lit up with smiles.

What excited them was the enormous figure before their eyes.

Erlang God!

Erlang God surveyed his surroundings, his gaze brimming with a liveliness that ordinary Taoist soldiers did not possess.

Song Lin stood beside him.

Erlang God, having consumed the Spiritual Pill for days, finally broke free from the status of a Taoist soldier.

"From now on, you’re free!"

Song Lin said with a smile.

"Greetings, Taoist Master!"

Erlang God knelt down on one knee to pay his respects.

"Erlang God Li Yu, heed my command! From this day onward, you are appointed as the Mountain Guardian General of Donghua Jungle!"

Song Lin’s expression suddenly turned stern.

A Jade Plate floated in front of Erlang God. 𝕗𝕣𝐞𝐞𝘄𝐞𝚋𝚗𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹.𝚌𝕠𝚖

"Understood!"

Erlang God took the Jade Plate.

Erlang God had become an independent life form, which meant he could no longer be projected into the story world.

Wait, does this mean the Erlang God in the story world will no longer disappear in the future?

Indeed, that’s the case.

A good thing, as it means Song Lin gained another ally.

If they crossed paths in other story worlds later, Erlang God could still provide assistance.

"A sight to behold. The Taoist Master’s Taoist Soldier Technique has taken another step forward."

Wang Ziyue marveled.

Taoist soldiers with talent, allowed to become independent and freely grow, could bring tremendous benefits.

Song Lin retrieved his Taiji Thunder Seal and handed it to them.

"Prepare for the Seven Great Saints to refine into Little Giant Spirit Gods. Also, ready five hundred sets of alchemy materials."

Song Lin had been out for more than half a month, and this time, he envisioned creating something new.

He returned to the World in the Pot to prepare for refining the Qi Storage Golden Pill.

With this pill to assist in cultivation, the time required to condense Silver Flower over three hundred years could be reduced by one Jiazi.

Unknowingly, another half-month passed.

Switching back and forth between the real world and the story.

Song Lin’s alchemy techniques became increasingly sophisticated.

The approaches of the sulfur-mercury, lead-seeking, and golden sand schools of alchemy were becoming accessible to him.

"The next goal for the real world is to become a Mage. A Mage requires fifty volumes of Taoist Method Meeting, or ten volumes of Taoist School editions of Taoist Method Meeting. Since the main vocation can’t be advanced for now, I’ll use my secondary vocation to elevate my status..."

This was Song Lin’s current plan.

Alchemy, as a crucial secondary vocation, offered tremendous benefits, especially regarding status and networking.

Compared to Refining Soldiers or the highly challenging Divination Skill, Alchemy Path was more adaptable, practical, and broadly welcomed by the masses.

In the realm of alchemy, achieving the alchemy edition of Taoist Method Meeting was relatively straightforward. A new and practical Pill Recipe would typically qualify for inclusion in the alchemy edition.

Of course, although there were few skilled alchemists in the Holy Might Taoist School,

Song Lin’s beginner-level skills were still considered inadequate.

During this time, part of his alchemical products were used personally, and surplus ones were sold in the Ghost Market, bolstering its reputation.

While Song Lin cultivated, news suddenly arrived of the collapse of the Smoke Cave Ghost Market, reaching Donghua Jungle.

The Three Capitals and Five Masters were instantly thrown into panic.

The Master Zhengsi was unavailable, still secluded in training, with heavily guarded entrances preventing any message from reaching him.

The Capital Management, in desperation, took a token and sought help.

Yunzhou Society Commandery.

Chuu Yuying’s avatar was handling official business.

A Taoist disciple requested an audience from outside.

"Come in!"

"Master, a Taoist named Capital Management from Mei Mountain Jungle requests to see you."

"No. Tell him I’m not here."

Chuu Yuying lazily dismissed.

It was surely another issue. If Zhengsi came personally, it might warrant help, but how could an insignificant Capital Management expect to summon him?

Did they truly think Chuu Yuying was a lackey of the Heavenly Master? He had his limits.

Besides, such behavior would be noticed by others. Aligning against a Taoist Master—wasn’t that humiliation enough?

Chuu Yuying even thought the Heavenly Master pampered this spoiled youth too much.

Even the man’s two older brothers weren’t as ostentatious as Zhengsi.

But then again, the Heavenly Master’s family only consisted of these three, so a little indulgence wasn’t unreasonable.
