Cultivation towards immortality, starting from being a fisherman Chapter 88 - 86: Spare Me, Taoist!

Chapter 88: Chapter 86: Spare , Taoist!

Su Ping made it back to Frost Moon Villa without harm.

On his way, he encountered nurous migrating caravans and saw tens of thousands of people outside Golden Wind City collectively worshipping relatives who had died after the city was breached by demon beasts.

The funeral procession stretched for ten miles, with people constantly joining by pushing the coffins of their loved ones.

Su Ping also ca across a small town where the bodies of suspected horse bandits were hung on flagpoles, air-dried like jerky.

Additionally, Su Ping saw the latest Wanted List at an official road post station.

It included many Tribulation Cultivators and Evil Cultivators with heinous cris.

...

What caught Su Ping’s attention was a newly-listed Evil Cultivator who had astonishingly reached Qi Cultivation Perfection!

This was a Clan Leader of a small family, who had beco an Evil Cultivator without notice. Originally only at the late period of Qi Cultivation, he had killed the Supre Elder of his family who had reached Qi Cultivation Perfection, perford a Blood Sacrifice on the entire clan, and fled the scene!

On the Wanted List, the Clan Leader turned Evil Cultivator’s threat level had already reached that of Qi Cultivation Perfection.

Besides, Su Ping discovered an Evil Spirit in a valley.

Evil Spirits are intangible and can possess any object in the Immortal Cultivation World, creating bizarre contaminations that affect the surrounding environnt.

The Evil Spirit in that valley had possessed a broad-leaved tree and had contaminated the flora within a hundred-ter radius.

When Su Ping saw it, he felt a hint of Evil Qi attacking him, triggering his Evil Exorcism Magic Artifact to heat up in warning.

Although Su Ping surmised that the Evil Exorcism Punishnt Stone Lion from Pot Cave Heaven could restrain the Evil Spirit,

he had no intention of experinting with it right then. He hastily retreated and found a Loose Cultivator to pass the information on to the local City Lord Mansion.

The matter of the Evil Spirit should be dealt with by professionals from the Immortal Sects!

After a round trip from the Cloud Mountain Workshop, it was soon ti for the Fishing Point to refresh.

Su Ping began preparing to set out for Mysterious Turtle Island again.

Before that, considering the various tragedies he had witnessed on the road, he decided to check for any hidden dangers in Golden Sparrow City beforehand.

Su Ping summoned the Spiritual Rats White and Grey, closed his eyes to connect with the rats dispersed throughout the territory of Golden Sparrow City, silently read fragnts of their mories, and cross-referenced them with the ssages reported by the City Lord Mansion and the Ji Family.

Before long, Su Ping detected an anomaly.

Even now, whether it was from the countryside to the town or from the town to Golden Sparrow City,

everyone was migrating. Even small landlords who were reluctant to leave their land were hustling their secondary and tertiary families into Golden Sparrow City, whether to find work or to farm.

Or beco beggars, as long as they stayed safely within the city.

In case sothing unforeseen happened, they would be able to preserve a lineage for their family.

But Su Ping noticed that in one particular manor, unusually, not a single person had migrated out even after such a long ti.

In fact, there had been entries but no exits for days now, a situation that could be deed abnormal.

“Hopefully it’s not an Evil Spirit!”

Su Ping muttered, beginning to make his way toward that place called Bai Family Manor.

Bai Family Manor was near the official road and surrounded by thousands of acres of fields belonging to the manor owner.

Besides, Bai Family Manor also had a logging camp and a wood processing plant.

According to the records of Golden Sparrow City, the owner of Bai Family Manor was also recognized as a respected local gentry.

However, ever since Su Ping beca an Inspector,

the owner of Bai Family Manor had never visited Golden Sparrow City again, alleging a serious illness as an excuse.

As Su Ping recalled this information, he climbed a nearby hillside to observe the manor from afar.

He noticed through the vision of Spiritual Rats White and Grey that there was no Evil Qi.

He breathed a sigh of relief. Not being an Evil Spirit ant the problem would be easier to tackle.

With his current abilities, dealing with enemies from the Mortal Realm should be sufficient, right?

That’s what he thought.

Yet, Su Ping still sensed more irregularities.

The large manor was devoid of any sign of life at this mont.

No one was in the fields, no one was in the woods, and the manor itself seed completely abandoned!

Thinking it through, Su Ping decided to be cautious and took out the mory Wand.

The 12-hour cooldown had long been ready, and with a light wave of the mory Wand, Su Ping did not choose to play the role himself.

A mory illusion of the White Crane Child, wingless, appeared before Su Ping and, just like in Pot Cave Heaven, stared blankly at Su Ping with lifeless eyes.

Su Ping felt the connection with the tangible illusion.

After trying to control it, the White Crane Child illusion moved under his command, just like playing a first-person video ga, walking towards the front gate of Bai Family Manor.

The White Crane Child reached the firmly shut gate and simply pushed it open with both hands.

Squeak…!

The gate was not locked and swung slowly open. Without any fear, the White Crane Child illusion, controlled by Su Ping, boldly stepped inside.

Upon entering, the illusion found that the main hall door of the manor was also open.

And from within, one could vaguely hear the sound of a woman singing opera.

It seed as if the master of the house was enjoying the performance leisurely inside.

Without any apprehension, the White Crane Child walked into the main hall.

Instantly feeling a jolt,

Su Ping, sharing the vision of the White Crane Child, realized that there was at least a camouflaged Array in the great hall!

Inside the hall, dozens of enchanting female opera singers were performing sorrowful operas on small stages set up on both sides.

In the central seat, a middle-aged man with a pale face and no beard was staring at the White Crane Child that had walked in, with a hint of malice.

“You must be the rescuer invited by the Inspector from Golden Sparrow City,” he said.

“For you to send a cultivator whose cultivation I can’t detect, it seems he has discovered my little trick.”

“But it doesn’t matter, this body is almost decaying, and I’ve been planning to change to a new one.”

“It’s quite surprising that you ca here so boldly. I thought I would have to perform a little play to make you co in!”

It seed to be the middle-aged man, the manor owner of Bai Family Manor, who slowly rose to his feet.

At the sa ti, the female perforrs on both sides also simultaneously stopped their movents and chanting.

The atmosphere beca oppressively mysterious and eerie.

The next second!

The middle-aged man, who showed no sign of fear or rashness as he entered the trap, snorted coldly.

Suddenly, the female perforrs split open from their heads, and after their human skins ca off, they were revealed to be entirely made of paper — papern!

These papern, dressed in human skin, could disguise themselves as living people!

Su Ping instantly understood what that middle-aged man was.

“A side sect Loose Cultivator who has cultivated the Paperman Technique and the Peeling Human Cocoon Skill!”

“No, this fellow’s cultivation is far beyond that of ordinary Loose Cultivators; he must also have accessed other Evil Cultivator techniques!”

“The entire Bai Family Manor has probably already been quietly blood sacrificed by this guy!”

Su Ping realized the cause and effect, and his first response was to take out his heavy sniper rifle and aim it at Bai Family Manor up ahead.

“To deal with evil demons, there’s no need to abide by any Jianghu rules!”

Su Ping pulled the trigger, and the muzzle of the sniper rifle instantly spouted flas and fired round after round of armor-piercing bullets.

Inside Bai Family Manor.

The middle-aged man saw the papern mobilize to surround the White Crane Child, with several of them even swiftly grabbing the victim’s limbs.

He thought that this ti he could peel the skin of a disciple from the Outer Sect of the Immortal Sect!

He heard the piercing sounds of windows being shattered.

And at the sa ti, he found half of his body going away from him with a loud boom!

“There’s a Cultivator launching a sneak attack from outside!”

The middle-aged man ca to his senses, confused as to how the Cultivator would co here so foolishly without any other actions if there was soone to answer.

He suddenly discovered that the Cultivator surrounded by the papern had vanished!

He still wanted to think of sothing else when the rest of his body and head also shattered to pieces on the ground.

But no blood flowed out. Apart from the fragnted human skin, all that was left on the ground was fine paper dust.

“This guy was ruthless, turning even himself into a paperman?”

“If I hadn’t been cautious and co to check personally, this fellow might really have been able to run off to other realms and continue living freely!”

“Wrong, this guy deliberately exposed his flaws. Good grief! He was actually targeting !”

“Sending a Loose Cultivator this ti would just be like giving a farewell gift to the other side, wouldn’t it!”

As Su Ping broke the formation by destroying the wall of the manor with his heavy sniper rifle, he could see the scene through the sniper scope and the perspective of the mice that had rushed in.

He found that after losing the middle-aged man, all the papern were frozen in place at the scene.

Even when the rats gnawed at them, there was no reaction.

Su Ping instructed the Spiritual Rats, White and Grey, to search around, and after finding what seed to be the storage bag of the side sect cultivator, they found nothing else; it seed as if the original inhabitants of the manor had already disappeared a while ago.

Su Ping didn’t dwell on it and decided to set the place on fire.

He let the flas burn the papern and the paper dust completely clean.

Under the flas, Su Ping heard wails emanating sadness from the fire.

After that, a paperman covered in blood-red patterns suddenly leapt from the flas and knelt on the ground far away from Su Ping, who had never entered the fray.

“Taoist, spare my life!”

“I have the secret technique of papern, which can grant blissful immortality!”

Bang!

Su Ping could not entertain keywords like bliss and immortality associated with Evil Cultivation; he directly blasted the paperman’s head to pieces with a shot.

That made the paperman sway as if it had beco an ordinary paperman and it fell to the ground.

Su Ping slightly frowned; these abnormal skills might not be powerful but were certainly bizarre and resilient.

He sighed and took out several Burning Bottles and threw them hard!

With a loud explosion, the Burning Bottles burst, and the specially enhanced flas completely ignited the papern on the ground and within the fire scene,

This ti, the papern truly beca ash.

Afterwards, Su Ping looked at the pile of ashes, had a thought, and had the rats throw all the ashes into the stream outside.

Only then did Su Ping relax and turn to head for Mysterious Turtle Island.

Several days later.

Mysterious Turtle Island welcod its devoted Fishing Man.

The islanders once again saw the Immortal Master with the afterimage enter the heart of the island.

[Current Fishing Point has accumulated the following number of available fishing monts: (140/200)]

Dressed as the Fishing Man, Su Ping sat by the Heavenly Lake and saw the number of fishing attempts, nodding slightly.

It wasn’t filled to the brim nor refreshed by only half.

This result was still acceptable to him.

As Su Ping prepared the bait and took out the Spiritual Rice Wine, his fishing officially began…

Second Tier Fishing Points require more fishing ti.

By the break of dawn, Su Ping stood up and looked towards the fishing warehouse.

This ti he had caught 80 Small Striped Fish and 60 Large Striped Fish.

It was a bit disappointing not to get a specialty product.

Su Ping was still curious about what a juvenile Mysterious Turtle looked like.

Could it grow up to be a ship carrying him across the seas?

Who would choose a boat when they could use a Divine Beast like the Mysterious Turtle as a mount!
