Chapter 1: The Taoist Goes Down the Mountain
Beep~!!
The shrill, long-lasting horn sounded, along with the bright yellow car lights, coming from afar and approaching in an instant.
Taoist Li Hong, who had just come down the mountain, flew out from the sidewalk.
When he opened his eyes again, he was unharmed, but appeared in a different world with a stone door in his head.
There is an animal head holding a ring on it, which has an extraordinary origin.
In the blink of an eye, a month passed and Li Hong temporarily settled down in this world.
I also gained a general understanding of the world.
When he first started wandering around New York in a Taoist robe, the police patrolling on the street did not come forward to check him, thus allowing him to avoid jail.
Li Hong’s heart tightened as he soon realized that he would be arrested at any moment without legal documents.
Although most of the time is spent in the mountains, there are mobile phones and Wi-Fi in the temple.
I can roughly understand that the customs and habits here are different. Once you go to prison, your innocence as a man will be gone.
So although he looked calm, his pace was much faster.
I don’t know if it’s because of his Taoist robe, but although patrolmen often glanced at him sideways, they never came forward to question him, otherwise he would have been exposed immediately.
Finally, after some asking, I arrived at a Chinatown. The noisy voices around me suddenly turned into a language I could understand, and I couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief.
At least we can communicate here, and it’s not as troublesome as outside where we have to communicate with Koreans who look like fellow villagers but are not actually fellow villagers.
Here, Li Hong feels like a fish in water. Just his outfit makes others willing to communicate with him.
Li Hong is indeed a legitimate Taoist priest. He has stayed in a Taoist temple in the mountains for twenty years. He does not know any magic, but he knows everything he should know.
He can recite various Taoist scriptures fluently and is proficient in the rituals through practice.
If being a Taoist priest is considered a profession, he would definitely qualify.
He sold himself on the first day. It happened that an elderly person passed away and they asked him to perform a ritual, which gave him a place to stay.
Someone will provide you with food and accommodation, and you can also get paid.
The ritual lasted for three days, giving Li Hong some time to relax.
Only in the presence of the familiar rituals could he calm down and understand this world.
After just a few days of exposure, you can see Iron Man figures in some stores.
You can see in newspapers and on TV how Tony Stark spends money like water.
Occasionally, when you look up at the sky, you can see a steel figure rushing past.
Although Li Hong lives in the temple, he learns as much as other people from his mobile phone, so he naturally knows what kind of world this is.
He was a little shocked, but it didn’t last long because he was now busy making a living.
The ritual ended on the third day, and he had no reason to stay in someone else’s house any longer.
With the five thousand US dollars he had just received in his pocket, he said goodbye to those Buddhists.
Although his appearance was calm, his heart was filled with joy.
This is five thousand US dollars, which would be considered a fortune in my hometown.
Although he had no place to live, he had already found out a lot of information indirectly during these three days.
Know where an illegal immigrant like him should stay.
So Li Hong came to Hell’s Kitchen in Manhattan, New York.
Li Hong had also heard of the reputation of this place. It was known as the most chaotic area and the den of evil.
And because of this, the police force here is the most sparse.
Even if a police patrol car passed by, they would not dare to stop.
Because of this, this place provides a place for some people to find shelter, such as criminals, gangsters, and illegal immigrants from all over the world.
Even though everyone knows that this place is full of crime and is extremely dangerous, there is still a steady stream of new people moving in.
Walking on the streets of Hell’s Kitchen in broad daylight, Li Hong could already feel the gazes of other people on the roadside, looking at him with unfriendly eyes.
Fortunately, it is still daytime and they are relatively restrained.
Li Hong settled down here and rented a house.
People have their own way, and rats have their own way.
There is still some order in this chaotic place.
For example, Li Hong never goes out at night, because Hell’s Kitchen at night is completely different from Hell’s Kitchen during the day.
Hell’s Kitchen is only the real Hell’s Kitchen at night. Gunshots and screams can be heard at any time, just like the scene in hell.
As for daytime, it is not safe to go out either. You may always encounter some reckless thieves. It is normal for them to show off daggers in the street and ask for money.
But if you give a little money to a reckless thief like this, he won’t bother you too much and will be considered a petty thief at most.
After understanding certain rules, Li Hong was able to survive in this area.
During the day he went to Chinatown to find work, such as reading feng shui for people’s houses and performing rituals for weddings and funerals.
It’s no wonder that this custom is quite popular here, so there is quite a lot of business.
Now it has been a month since he came into this world.
He also used the money he had saved to rent a storefront and opened an office in Hell’s Kitchen.
However, opening a store here requires paying protection fees, so Li Hong just follows the local customs.
After all, he is just a Taoist priest.
He didn’t want the pistol he kept in the drawer of his office desk to be used.
On the first day the office opened, there were few customers, only gang members came to collect money.
But Li Hong was ready to fight and was not discouraged.
Because as he traveled through time, the stone gate rooted in his mind finally changed.

Li Hong used his perception to observe the stone door in his mind.
I saw lines on the doorposts at the edge of the stone gate. At this moment, gold liquid was flowing in the lines, forming bright golden lines.
The lines connect all around, winding like a snake, and finally connect the four sides of the stone gate together.
At the same time, Li Hong had some insights.
He gained a kind of ability from this stone gate, called the heaven-defying enlightenment.
He tried to push the door open to see what was behind it, but found that no matter what he did, the stone door did not move.
It seems that the time is not right yet.
Li Hong collected his thoughts and thought about the abilities he had gained.
In the blink of an eye, another month has passed.
It seemed like only a month had passed, and not much had happened in the office.
In fact, in Li Hong’s eyes, the world has changed dramatically, or in other words, the world he sees is completely different from the world a month ago.
His enlightenment against the will of heaven is worthy of the name “against the will of heaven”, and he can deduce the great principles of the world to the extreme.
He sat upright on a wooden chair, his expression normal, but with a hint of inexplicable temperament, making him look like an immortal at first glance.
There was a lot of yellow paper on the desk in front of him. He held a brush, dipped it in cinnabar, and started writing.
Soon the talisman was completed and a golden light flashed on the talisman paper, but then quickly disappeared.
Li Hong picked up the talisman paper with two fingers, flicked it out, and the talisman paper flew down, instantly emitting flames and turning into ashes.
A small ball of flame gushed out of nowhere and was about to set the room on fire. At the critical moment, Li Hong formed three fingers into claws and grabbed lightly.
The flames were instantly extinguished.
Li Hong nodded slightly, very satisfied with the effect.
Ever since he gained extraordinary enlightenment, he has been deducing all the Taoist methods he had come into contact with before.
The effect was naturally amazing. The knowledge that was once considered useless suddenly took on new life.
Among them, his favorite is talismans.
There is no other reason, the cost is the lowest.
By engraving the great Dao on talisman paper, all kinds of powers can be released with just a little spiritual energy.
Li Hong then stretched out his hand, and the talisman paper on the table suddenly rolled up and flew into his hand as quickly as a flock of butterflies.
Grab it as if you are holding the road of the world, put it in your bag, and keep it with you.
He stood up and walked to the wall behind the desk, took down the peach wood sword hanging on the wall, and put it on his back.
This was one of his rare possessions, given to him by his master before he went down the mountain. It was said to be an antique, but it was not worth much.
Hanging it on your body at least makes it look good and makes it easier to attract business.
In addition, there is a yellow bell, which is used in rituals and is buried with the deceased.
As I walked out of the office, I met a man wearing sunglasses, a black suit, and holding a blind stick in his hand.
“Good afternoon, Master Li.”
“Good afternoon, Attorney Matt.”
Li Hong responded to the lawyer from the neighboring law firm. Although he looked blind, Li Hong could clearly feel that this man had a mind.
The other party can “see” his every move.
Matt on the opposite side was also “observing” Li Hong. In his mind, Li Hong was like a charlatan.
He had a deep impression of Li Hong and remembered that he took the initiative to visit him when he first opened an office here.
But I found out that Li Hong only speaks poor English.
But after a few days, he found that the other party’s English was better than his, which made him feel that the other party was playing a trick on him. After that, when they met, they just said hello politely.
“Your business is really good. Compared to you, my business is really quiet.”
Matt seemed to be interested in chatting here and immediately started to make pleasantries.
“If you are willing, I think you can make a lot of money.”
Li Hong said bluntly.
He occasionally heard noises coming from next door. There were quite a few gang members who wanted Matt to work for them, but they were all rejected.
“Some money is earned but not spent.
It’s not like outside. If you make money from those gangsters, you will only get a bullet in the end.”
Matt said pointedly.
“I see. I have something else to do, so I’ll leave first.”
Li Hong nodded, then said goodbye and left.
Matt looked at Li Hong’s departing figure and shook his head. It was really hard to persuade that damn ghost with kind words.
The reason he said this was because he ran into a gangster walking out of Li Hong’s office yesterday. He didn’t look like he was collecting protection money, but rather doing business.
Judging from the gangster’s reaction, Li Hong should not have refused, which is why he gave the reminder just now.
Li Hong walked out of the building where the office was located and strolled along the street.
He had indeed taken a job from the gang on this trip, a ritual to pray for the souls of the deceased, for which he was paid US$10,000.
It took nearly half an hour to reach the agreed location.
As soon as I walked in here, the surroundings were obviously much quieter.
Passing through the open gate, I saw several five- or six-story buildings standing in front of me. They looked very shabby, like an abandoned industrial area.
As soon as he walked through the gate, he could feel many eyes watching him in secret.
“You’re here!”
A man with a mustache and wearing a vest showing his tattoos came out with a grim smile on his face. He was the guy who came to the door yesterday.
“Walk faster and don’t look around. If you see something you shouldn’t see, huh!”
Li Hong looked calm and followed the man.
Three things to do when reading: read, collect, and reward!
Chapter 3 Hit-Girl (Old Version)
“It’s right here. Our boss said that it’s been weird here lately. It’s so cold that it makes me shudder.”
This is an empty factory building with tall and narrow windows. It is difficult for light from outside to squeeze in, and it is very dim even in broad daylight.
Li Hong looked around, took out a compass, and walked around in an official manner.
At this time, a cool breeze blew in, and the mustache gangster couldn’t help but shrink his neck and hugged his arms with both hands.
There is really an evil wind!
“You do it here, and I’ll come after you’re done!”
He immediately said this and ran out to smoke.
Li Hong looked around expressionlessly, but in fact he knew what was going on at a glance.
Many people have died here, and the atmosphere is very deathly heavy.
Some of them were full of resentment before they died, which caused the aura here to change a little.
Li Hong casually took out a house-safe talisman from his pocket and flicked it to activate the talisman.
The atmosphere changed instantly, and the originally cold air became as warm as a spring breeze.
Collect money from people and help them eliminate disasters.
After finishing his work, Li Hong walked out.
But at this moment, I don’t know where the little mustache has disappeared.
Bang!
Li Hong’s ears moved when he heard a sound. He looked towards the source of the sound and it was right opposite him.
There was also a two-story factory building, and the outer door was firmly locked with an iron chain as thick as a finger.
Li Hong unknowingly came to the door and found that there was a gap in the door.
There was another light sound, and Li Hong immediately put his eyes to the crack of the door, only to find that it was very dark inside.
There were iron cages placed on the ground, filling the entire factory.
And inside the iron cage, there were figures with disheveled hair, very few clothes on their bodies, and shivering from the cold.
Some people even lay there helplessly, not knowing whether they were alive or dead.
“What are you looking at?”
Suddenly, a cold voice sounded behind Li Hong.
Li Hong turned around and saw that it was the man with a mustache who brought him in.
At this moment, the man with a mustache had a fierce look on his face, holding a pistol in one hand, pointing the gun at Li Hong.
“It seems like you are unlucky. You could have walked away with 10,000 yuan, but now you may not have that chance.”
The man with a mustache said this sinisterly with a sneer on his face, and took out a stack of US dollars as he spoke.
However, Li Hong’s expression did not change, he just said affirmatively.
“You didn’t intend to let me leave in the first place, you did this on purpose for me to see it.”
“Correct answer! But it’s a pity there’s no reward, hahahaha!”
The man with the mustache immediately grinned, but the boy’s reaction was too stiff, which greatly reduced his fun.
“I have to say you’re quite capable. You actually managed to take over that warehouse, so I’ll aim a little and try to make you die quickly.”
The next moment, the man with a mustache was about to pull the trigger and kill Li Hong with one shot.
Li Hong looked calm, and didn’t look like he was about to die.
This made the man with a mustache a little surprised. He felt that Li Hong’s expression made him think that the gun was not in his hand, but in the other party’s hand.
“Pretend!”
The mustache grumbled.
“Don’t move!”
Suddenly a female voice was heard, causing the man with a mustache to stiffen and feel something pressing against his back.
Li Hong narrowed his eyes slightly and saw a little girl standing behind the mustache man, whose head only reached his chest.
She has short purple hair that reaches the tip of her chin. She wears a purple bodysuit that covers her entire body, and a plaid skirt on her lower body. She has a black mask on her face that is in the shape of an inverted figure eight.
“Where are the people who are locked up?”
The little girl asked coldly.
The man with a mustache turned his head slightly, squinted his eyes and saw through the corner of his eye that there was indeed a gun pointing at him, and he became a little panicked.
“Inside…”
The next moment, a gunshot rang out, and the guy with the mustache’s head burst into pieces, and he fell straight forward.
“I saved your life, run!”
The little girl raised her chin with a proud look on her face and spoke loudly to Li Hong.
After saying that, the little girl came to the warehouse, fired a shot directly at the lock on the chain, quickly pulled the chain open, and opened the door.
After taking a look at the scene inside, his expression changed slightly. He knew that it would take time to rescue them because each iron cage had a lock.
He walked out with a determined look on his face, only to find that the person he had saved was turning over a corpse and soon found a sum of US dollars from the body.
How greedy!
The little girl frowned. She didn’t expect that someone could be so greedy that he didn’t care about his life. The gunshot just now could attract gang members at any time, but this person didn’t run away for the money.
Suddenly, my impression of Li Hong became worse.
“This is my trophy!”
Although she didn’t have any thoughts about the money, she didn’t want anyone to take advantage of her.
“No, this is my reward.”
Li Hong emphasized, counted quickly, confirmed that it was ten thousand yuan, and put it directly into his pocket, safe in the pocket.
He will receive the money if he does the work.
“you!”
The little girl was suddenly furious, but then she saw a figure appear.
It turned out to be a group of gang members, coming with guns. Seeing the body on the ground and the two people standing in front of the body, they knew what was going on without saying anything.
Chapter 4: Take Action (Old Version)
“Go!”
At this moment, the little girl had no time to argue about these things. She raised her gun and shot. The bullet fired accurately and knocked down one person directly.
However, the next moment, dense bullets flew towards them, and the little girl grabbed Li Hong and rushed into the warehouse.
Ding ding ding!
From time to time, crisp and loud sounds came from the iron gate.
Although she was caught in a trap, the little girl was not panicked.
From time to time, he would stick the muzzle of the gun out of the door and pull the trigger. Whether he hit the target depended on whether someone was unlucky enough.
Seeing this, Li Hong took out a talisman and pointed it at the little girl with purple hair.
The next moment the talisman paper turned into ashes.
A dark light suddenly flashed on the little girl’s body, but she was so tense that she didn’t notice it at all.
The scattered footsteps gradually approached this side.
“Stand back!”
The little girl took out a grenade from somewhere, pulled out the safety and threw it out, quickly moving away from the door.
A huge explosion sounded, accompanied by screams.
The smoke and dust blew past the door, leaving a layer of blood on the ground.
Then the girl calmly pulled Li Hong to hide beside the door, pointing the gun at the door. She would shoot as soon as anyone appeared.
However, the expected figure did not appear. Instead, a burst of gunfire was heard outside, accompanied by the screams of the gangsters at the door.
“They have help!”
The little girl’s face lit up with joy. She no longer cared about Li Hong and rushed out with two guns in hand.
Li Hong’s eyes then fell on the iron cages, and he saw many women who were still awake looking at him with empty eyes, wondering if they could really see him.
Seeing this, Li Hong took out a pile of yellow paper, flipped through it quickly, and picked out a piece of paper.
Calming talisman!
This type of talisman is just a backup, and there is only one, but there are more than twenty people imprisoned in this warehouse.
In the end, he could only count out more than twenty talismans at random, without any classification.
Put your index finger to your mouth and bite it gently.
Then he threw out all the talisman papers in his hand, using his real blood as a guide to make talismans in the void.
His fingers were nimble, and in just one second he constructed a complex blood-colored rune in the air.
The rune emitted a golden light and landed on the talisman paper, forcibly tampering with the talisman.
At this moment, many talisman papers had not yet fallen to the ground, but the runes on them began to twist and transformed into calming talisman runes by themselves.
puff!
The next moment, the talisman papers in the air began to emit flames and burned up in an instant.
The eyes of the person in the iron cage were no longer empty, and his expression became more peaceful.
Seeing this, Li Hong put away the remaining talisman paper.
Although it was impossible for these spells of mine to make them forget what they had experienced, at least they could sleep well at night without being awakened by nightmares.
Just as I put away the talisman paper, I heard footsteps approaching. A figure walked in.
One was the girl from before, and the other was an adult man with a long gun on his back and covered in black armor, looking like Batman.
“This is the guy I just saved from the gangsters, but he stole the money from his pocket, so I’m really upset!
Big Daddy, do you think I should get rid of him as well?”
The little girl said carelessly, with a look of disgust on her face.
The man called Big Daddy immediately looked at Li Hong with a sharp gaze.
“This is the reward they gave me for doing the work. Once the work is done, the money will naturally be mine.”
Li Hong clarified calmly.
“Forget it, business is more important, rescue them quickly, if we stay a little longer, maybe someone will come.”
After hearing this, Big Dad stopped paying attention to Li Hong and turned to look at the iron cages.
Then the little girl took out a samurai sword and chopped it off the iron cage lock with one stroke. It looked very sharp.
Li Hong did not step forward to help, nor did he leave directly. He just watched quietly.
The little girl and the old man didn’t care, thinking that Li Hong was just afraid to leave alone.
When everyone was rescued, the noisy sound of engines approached quickly.
“Oh! Big Daddy, they’re coming!”
The little girl shouted loudly, but she was not afraid. Instead, she looked excited and took out the gun.
Li Hong also looked outside and saw three pickup trucks approaching quickly. The trucks were full of gangsters holding rifles.
He raised his gun and fired without stopping. The bullets hit the iron wall of the warehouse with a ping-pong sound, and there was no aim at all.
Soon three pickup trucks stopped a hundred meters outside the warehouse gate, and it seemed that they did not want to rush straight over.
“Oh no! There’s a bazooka!”
Suddenly the little girl screamed and shouted excitedly.
At this moment, Big Daddy had already raised his rifle and was pointing it at the man driving the rocket launcher.
A bullet was fired, and a flower of blood appeared between the eyebrows of the man holding the rocket launcher. However, at this moment, the rocket spurted out of the tube and shot towards the gate with thick white smoke.
“Quick!”
The big daddy reacted quickly, grabbed the little girl and leapt to the side, no longer caring about the people he had rescued.
Li Hong’s eyes focused, and he instantly took out a piece of talisman paper, which burned up in an instant.
A beam of yellow light shot forward and collided with the oncoming rocket.
In an instant, flames burst out and air waves gushed out.
boom!
There was a cloud of dust outside the warehouse, but there was not a single wave of wind inside.

Chapter 5: Five Thunderbolts Curse (Old Version)
The little girl who was protected on one side stared at the scene with wide eyes, her mouth slightly open, somewhat not understanding what was happening.
The same thing happened to Big Daddy, with a look of surprise in his eyes.
But Li Hong did not stop there. Instead, he took out a stack of talisman papers and picked out one on purpose.
The five thunderbolts talisman!
Li Hong activated the talisman paper, and it flew out directly, drilled out of the warehouse, and hovered in the air, emitting dazzling golden light.
The thunder rumbled like war drums, commanding thunder.
The next moment, four or five thunders struck simultaneously, and dazzling lightning fell on the area where the three pickup trucks were.
Before they could even scream, some people were chopped into charcoal.
But this is just the beginning.
The little girl had already stood up and walked to the door of the warehouse. She looked up, her mouth wide open, and looked at the scene in shock.
I saw lightning falling continuously, like rain, only affecting that area.
Sometimes the stone doesn’t hit anyone, but falls to the ground, sending stone chips flying everywhere.
Sometimes it falls on the car and directly creates a burst of sparks.
This lasted for nearly thirty seconds before the talisman paper hanging in the air turned into ashes and the thunder completely dissipated.
The little girl caught the falling talisman paper ashes with both hands, and felt her three perspectives shattered.
The situation where the three pickup trucks were located was simply horrific.
All the people in the car turned into charcoal, but they still retained the expressions they had when they were alive, with their faces full of fear.
All three pickup trucks were scrapped and on fire.
The little girl turned her head stiffly and looked at Li Hong, but her eyes did not show much fear, but rather some enthusiasm.
“How did you do that!?”
The little girl shouted loudly, jumped in front of Li Hong and asked anxiously.
“Hit-Girl, come back!”
But Big Daddy was not as naive as Hit-Girl. He looked at Li Hong with vigilance and caution.
If he had not been afraid of this obviously beyond-limit ability, he would have pointed the gun at Li Hong.
But Hit-Girl seemed not to have heard it. She stared intently at the pile of talismans in Li Hong’s hand, with desire written all over her face.
“Do you sell these things?
If we have them, we can do the same thing as before!”
Hit-Girl widened her eyes and asked curiously.
“Not for sale.”
Li Hong said simply and clearly, putting the talisman paper in his hand back into his pocket without satisfying the girl’s other curiosity.
After taking a look outside and making sure there was no danger, he walked out on his own.
Although this business had some twists and turns, I still made 10,000 yuan as expected, which is not bad.
Hit-Girl wanted to follow him, but was stopped by Big Daddy.
“Dad, I want to learn that!”
Hit-Girl said this eagerly, looking miserable.
Big Daddy had a helpless look on his face and gave a bitter smile. Who wouldn’t want to learn? If they had such means, maybe they could just go and get revenge!
…
Li Hong left along the same route and no one stopped him.
Or rather, not even a single person was seen. It seemed that the only gang members here were all dead outside the warehouse.
He had no intention of looting here, his goal from the beginning to the end was his 10,000 yuan reward.
As the saying goes, the righteous path in the world is full of vicissitudes. He has already had the extraordinary enlightenment, so why should he take the evil path?
When we came out of this gang’s stronghold, the streets outside were empty and no one was around. I guess they all ran away after hearing the gunshots.
I walked some distance before I could see people again.
Instead of going straight back to his office, he walked leisurely out of Hell’s Kitchen.
After stepping out of Hell’s Kitchen, the number of people outside increased visibly.
The streets were crowded with people, and the difference was so huge just a few blocks away.
It seemed as if there was a strict boundary separating them.
Outside Hell’s Kitchen is the most prosperous area in New York, Manhattan.
There are tall buildings all around, and if you walk a distance ahead you can even see the Stark Industries Building from a distance.
Li Hong walked towards Chinatown here, intending to purchase some things.
Just then, two people in police uniforms came towards us, with gun pouches on their waists and walkie-talkies on their shoulders.
Their eyes moved through the crowd, searching for any suspicious figures, and eventually inevitably fell on Li Hong. After all, his attire was out of place here.
But Li Hong was not panicked at all. His face was calm and he walked straight forward.
According to past experience, the more guilty a person is, the more likely he is to be questioned. In the two months since he came here, he relied on this to avoid any questioning.
But something seemed to have gone wrong today. Li Hong felt that their eyes were fixed on him and it seemed that they had made a decision.
Two police officers from the police station were now on the other side of the road, with traffic blocking them and Li Hong.
Seeing that the green light on the crosswalk was about to come on, if he changed direction to the left or right at this time, he would definitely appear guilty, and he would definitely be caught up when the green light came on.
Li Hong did not change lanes, but just stood calmly in the crowd waiting for the green light.
As the red lights began to flash, the last bus sped down the street.
The two police officers were about to walk towards Li Hong.
But when the double-decker bus passed by, the two police officers couldn’t help but blink, and saw that Li Hong, who had just been standing in the crowd, had disappeared.
The green light came on and the crowd began to move, but the two police officers just stood in the crowd, like stones in a river, their eyes quickly swept through the crowd, but they couldn’t find the figure.
But at this moment, Li Hong appeared nearly a hundred meters behind the two police officers, still moving towards Chinatown in an orderly manner.
Shrink the distance into an inch!
With the help of the earth veins, you can move thousands of miles away in an instant.
Li Hong shook his head slightly, feeling a little emotional.
He didn’t want to use any magic unless it was necessary, which was why he currently loved talismans.
His comprehension is extraordinary, and he has deduced many Taoist methods to a very profound level, which can even be called immortal arts.
But it’s not without any disadvantages.
His cultivation will not reach the sky in one step just because of his extraordinary enlightenment, but he needs to keep his feet on the ground and climb step by step.
This resulted in a huge difference in his level of Taoism and realm of cultivation.
He used his magic like using a thin stick to lift a huge rock. If he wasn’t careful, he would easily overload it and be drained dry.
There is no such concern for talismans, they can be activated directly by just a little bit of magic power.
Of course, you also have to pay attention to the power of the talisman. Ordinary talismans can be used at will.
This was also because his level of talisman-making had already reached the other shore, so there was no problem in engraving the avenue on paper.
As for talismans of lower power, just having hands will do.
Chapter 6: Karma (Old Version)
When he arrived in Chinatown, he first went to Antique Street.
While walking, he was searching for something at the stalls along the way.
Finally stopped in front of a small stall.
“How do you sell this?”
Li Hong asked directly, pointing to a small transparent glazed alchemy furnace, which was slightly larger than a fist.
“Master, you have a good eye. This is a colored glaze tripod from the Han Dynasty. According to historical records, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty collected alchemy furnaces from all over the world in order to refine the elixir of immortality. Later, a Taoist heard about it and came from the Penglai Fairy Island with a colored glaze tripod in his hand.
Later, after several twists and turns, it fell into the hands of my ancestors and has been passed down to the present day.
You said it was fate, the Taoist priest in the book might be your ancestor, and now you have encountered the Glazed Cauldron, maybe that ancestor wants you to take it back.”
The stall owner’s eyes lit up, an eager smile appeared on his face, he rubbed his palms and talked boastfully, as if what he said was true.
“Since it is fate, I won’t make money from you. Just give me 30,000 and take it away. Just regard it as the fate between me and the Taoist priest.”
Even though Li Hong was now in a very high state of mind, he almost rolled his eyes when he heard this. This thing looked like something from last week. It was too new.
“Haha, I’m just kidding. You have to pay three hundred for this thing.”
Just then, the stall owner suddenly grinned and began to explain.
Li Hong couldn’t help but chuckle and shook his head after hearing this. He felt that the boss’s sales method was quite amazing. It seemed like a joke, but in fact he reduced the price from 30,000 to 300, making people feel that 300 was not expensive.
“Three hundred… no problem.”
Li Hong whispered softly and took out three hundred US dollars. This thing is just an ordinary handicraft, and it mainly caught his eye because of its appearance.
I just earned another $10,000, so I didn’t even think about bargaining.
The smile on the stall owner’s face suddenly became brighter, and he quickly reached out to take it, but when he was about to take it, it fell into the air. Li Hong retracted his hand halfway.
Li Hong met the stall owner’s puzzled look, smiled slightly, and said immediately.
“Boss, your forehead looks a little dark, I’m afraid you will encounter some difficulties in the near future.
I happen to have a lucky charm made by a Taoist master. Carrying it with you can ward off disasters. Since we are destined to be together, I will only give you two hundred dollars. How about that?”
As Li Hong spoke, he took out a piece of yellow paper.
The stall owner’s face changed slightly. He didn’t expect that Li Hong was selling talismans to him before he received the money.
This was the first time he had seen such a novel way of bargaining, using talismans to pay off debts.
“If you are willing to give up the remaining one hundred, I can give you an extra one. Wear it on your loved ones to bless them with safety.”
Before the stall owner could speak, Li Hong continued.
The stall owner understood it immediately. The normal price was two hundred yuan per ticket, but now there was a discount, two tickets for three hundred yuan.
He immediately started to murmur, this was three hundred US dollars, and the Taoist priest looked like a charlatan who was deliberately trying to scare people, and besides, the amulet was not made of gold, so how could it be worth three hundred dollars.
Li Hong noticed the stall owner’s hesitation, but did not urge him. He smiled gently and waited for his decision.
He was not bluffing. Judging from the stall owner’s facial features, there was indeed some black energy on his face, and there was even a hint of blood. Although he would not die, he would probably be injured.
This glass tripod is just a work of art. Let alone three hundred, even if it’s one hundred, the boss will definitely make a profit.
You can get a hundred dollars by receiving a lucky charm.
If one can restrain his greed, he can avoid disaster. It all depends on his choice.
“Master, you are joking. I don’t believe this. Three hundred is more realistic.”
The stall owner didn’t hesitate for long and quickly spoke up, rejecting Li Hong’s “bargaining”.
Seeing this, Li Hong didn’t waste any words. He took the yellow paper back and handed over the banknotes in his hand.
“Hey, thank you for your patronage, Taoist priest. I’ll come again next time!”
The stall owner took the money quickly and put it into his pocket with his hands as fast as lightning, then packed it up for Li Hong.
Li Hong nodded and took the box. He had no objection to the stall owner rejecting his bargaining offer. This was just as the stall owner said, fate.
After leaving the Antique Street, he went to a Chinese medicine shop.
A strong medicinal smell wafted into his nose, and he knew the quality of the herbs just by smelling it.
He went straight to the pharmacy and started buying a lot of herbs, spending more than five thousand US dollars before he left with a big bag of herbs.
Having achieved his purpose of coming here, Li Hong immediately left Chinatown and returned to Hell’s Kitchen.
This time he didn’t encounter any patrolling police officers, but after entering Hell’s Kitchen, he clearly felt that many eyes were staring at him.
After all, he was now holding a gift box in his left hand and a pile of medicinal herbs in his right hand, all of which were wrapped in oil paper, so tightly that you couldn’t tell what was inside.
If someone knows, they will know at a glance that these are Chinese medicines, but if someone doesn’t know, they may think he is holding something good.
However, in terms of value, these Chinese medicines are indeed good things.
Li Hong had just turned a corner when he felt someone behind him approaching him quickly with hurried footsteps.
I knew without thinking that it was not a good thing. She couldn’t be so kind as to help him get things.
Li Hong shook his head slightly, reached into his clothes with his left hand holding the gift box, took out a piece of talisman paper, and let it go casually.
The talisman paper suddenly floated backwards and burned into ashes in the air.
At the corner, a man with a thin face and fierce eyes had one hand tucked inside his coat, seemingly holding something.
Seeing Li Hong’s figure, he continued to speed up his pace forward, but suddenly bumped into the scattered ashes in the air.
Immediately his eyes rolled back and his body went limp and he fell to the ground.
With a clang, a sharp knife fell out of the coat.
Li Hong didn’t take this matter to heart at all and didn’t even look back.
But the guy behind him was not so lucky. He was hit by his disaster talisman and would have to lie down for a while at least.
The disaster talisman was not something Li Hong saw in the Taoist book in his previous life, but something he made himself.
The object controlled by the disaster talisman will have its own bad luck aggravated, the most common being contracting an evil disease.
If you have bad luck, you might even lose your life.
If one often does good deeds and is upright, this disaster talisman will at most bring him some bad luck.
After dealing with a gangster, Li Hong returned to the office smoothly.
First he put down what he was holding, then he walked to the desk, picked up the brush and started drawing talismans quickly.
Chapter 7 Alchemy (Old Version)
This one is a little different from usual.
There was a hint of seriousness in Li Hong’s eyes, and his writing style was graceful and elegant.
Using cinnabar as a carrier, the great truth is drawn on a piece of yellow paper, encapsulating the power of heaven and earth.
After a moment, the talisman paper was drawn.
Li Hong’s mind moved, and he pointed his finger at the newly made talisman paper.
In an instant, endless flames gushed out like a red lotus.
He grabbed the gift box on the table and threw it directly into the flames. The gift box was instantly ignited and swallowed up in an instant, revealing the glass tripod inside.
Seeing this, he immediately cast a spell, controlling the flames to wrap up the glass tripod.
Magic spells were continuously cast to protect the glass tripod from being melted directly by the flames.
You have to know that he spent some effort to make this fire talisman, which contains some kind of real fire that can melt all kinds of objects.
The glazed tripod floated above the flames and was slowly rotated by the magic spell. Under the refining of the flames, earth-shaking changes were taking place inside it.
More than ten minutes passed, and although the glass tripod still remained in its original appearance, it looked somewhat extraordinary, as if it had a majestic momentum and weighed a thousand pounds.
A thin layer of sweat had already appeared on Li Hong’s forehead. He didn’t know whether it was due to the high temperature of the flame or because this kind of refining was too strenuous.
Finally, the colored glaze tripod glowed with a precious light and had a precious appearance.
Li Hong immediately made a spell and the flames instantly subsided, retreating back into the talisman paper like defeated soldiers.
There seemed to be flowing fire on the lines on the talisman paper, which slowly faded after a while and returned to its original state, but it did not turn into ashes like other talismans.
Li Hong raised his right palm upwards, and the glass tripod suddenly fell and landed steadily in his hand.
He looked at the Glazed Cauldron with his magical eyes, as it was the first magical weapon he had refined.
If it wasn’t for refining the elixir, he wouldn’t have spent so much energy to refine an ordinary object into a magic weapon with supreme techniques. It’s really a return to nature.
It seemed like he only spent more than ten minutes, but in fact he paid a high price, and more than half of his accumulated cultivation was lost.
But it didn’t have much of an impact. After all, in his eyes, his current cultivation level was not that important and was not much different from that of an ordinary person.
How far can we retreat?
This is ultimately due to the nature of this world.
There is no spiritual energy in this world.
Li Hong was very sure that the spiritual energy in the previous world could be said to be exhausted, but this world had never had any spiritual energy.
If not for this, with his extraordinary enlightenment, even if he needs to move forward step by step with his feet on the ground, it will not affect his rapid improvement in cultivation.
pity
However, Li Hong did not care too much about it. There were ways to cultivate without spiritual energy. It would just slow down the progress, but it would not affect his path to becoming an immortal.
After all, he was practicing Taoism, the great truth.
Li Hong’s gaze fell on the glass tripod in his hand again. With a thought, the precious light on the glass tripod suddenly converged and dissipated. Now it looked no different from an ordinary glass tripod.
He then picked up the fire talisman on the table and stuck it under the glass tripod.
In an instant, the talisman paper shrank rapidly, and drilled under the cauldron, sticking firmly to it, as if it had become one with the glass cauldron.
Li Hong nodded immediately, and it was complete.
Although this cauldron was used by him to make elixirs, it was destined to be extraordinary when it became a magic weapon.
In addition to making medicine, you can actually use it as a weapon. Holding it in your hand and hitting someone in the face is definitely a good idea.
Apart from this glazed tripod, Li Hong currently has no plans to refine any other magic weapons because there is no need.
He then began to unwrap the oil paper wrapping the medicinal herbs, opened the lid of the cauldron, and poured all the medicinal herbs in the oil paper into the glass cauldron.
The mouth of the cauldron seemed to be only the size of a bowl, but when the medicinal materials tilted out, they were all caught by the glass cauldron.
Soon Li Hong poured all the medicinal materials worth more than 5,000 US dollars into the cauldron.
When passing through the mouth of the cauldron, all the medicinal materials shrank.
Then he covered the cauldron again, and Li Hong then cast a spell, and a red flame suddenly appeared under the cauldron, but it was not strong, and it was roasted slowly like a low fire.
Making elixir is like boiling water.
Under the true fire, the medicinal materials inside melted quickly, but their medicinal properties were preserved because of the glass tripod.
After a few minutes, the flames faded away, and the lid of the cauldron flew up spontaneously, revealing the pills inside.
There were only three of them. Li Hong stretched out his hand and took them. The black pills flew out immediately and quickly grew larger when passing through the mouth of the cauldron.
It changed from the size of sesame to the size of longan, and finally landed in Li Hong’s palm.
He picked up one of them with two fingers, which was still a little warm, and put it into his mouth.
But it did not dissolve directly. Li Hong swallowed it, and the pill went into his throat and went straight into his stomach.
The pill slowly dissolves in the stomach, releasing its mild medicinal power and nourishing the body.
Li Hong shook his head slightly. The effect of the medicine was really unbearable, but he had expected it.
The ingredients were just ordinary things. Even if he was proficient in alchemy, he couldn’t make any elixir.
But this pill is not completely useless, it can strengthen the body.
Of course, it is not strengthening the body in the ordinary sense. When taken for a long time, it has the effect of refining the body, tempering the muscles and bones, and forging a mortal into a saint.
And because Li Hong’s alchemy skills have reached a high level, the toxicity of the elixir has been greatly reduced, so there is no harm in taking it for a long time.
This pill can help Li Hong make up for his shortcomings to some extent.
After all, although he can polish his body through body refining techniques, it is too time-consuming and the process is very difficult.
He should just be a Taoist priest and achieve enlightenment, why would he have to do such hard work?
Li Hong’s gaze fell on the glass tripod again, his mind surging.
It seems that if one wants to use elixirs to improve one’s cultivation, relying on ordinary objects to refine elixirs is not ideal.
Maybe we still have to find something extraordinary.
What can be used as materials for alchemy? This is a question.
Although everything can be used to make elixirs, he doesn’t eat all elixirs.
Therefore, anything that can be used to make elixirs basically contains vitality.
Like this medicinal herb, it contains the vitality of plants.
The older it is, the more vitality it contains, and the more suitable it is for making elixirs.
However, even if it is a thousand-year-old herb, it is still an ordinary thing. At most, its effect is better, but it cannot be considered a real elixir.
In addition to plants and trees, living creatures can also make elixirs.
Li Hong’s eyes lit up slightly. Perhaps living creatures were the most suitable ingredients for the elixir.
Because the creatures in this world are somewhat extraordinary and can be compared to spiritual herbs.
If it is used to make pills, it is estimated that it can make real pills and help him achieve immortality.
Of course, he did not fall into evil ways, and certainly would not use his own people to make elixirs.
But for others, he may not necessarily show mercy.
…
Chapter 8 Uninvited Guests (Old Version)
Li Hong then ‘looked’ at the stone door rooted in his mind, which was the magical door that brought him extraordinary enlightenment.
He could probably sense the function of this stone door, which could lead to other worlds.
But the time is not yet ripe. Li Hong vaguely feels that this stone gate is closely related to him and is based on him.
In order to push open the stone door, he needs to meet certain conditions.
Li Hong guessed that it was probably some kind of state related to life, and it shouldn’t have to wait until he became an immortal before it could be opened.
Judging from the aura emanating from the stone gate, the day when the time is ripe is not far away.
He was also somewhat looking forward to it. If the world behind this stone gate was spiritual, it would be much easier for him to become an immortal.
Li Hong was not in a hurry, as the saying goes, good things take time.
In the next few days, Li Hong continued to live while practicing.
That night, he locked the door tightly.
Even now he still abides by the rules of Hell’s Kitchen, closing the door at night and isolating the inside and the outside to some extent.
This period of time is also the time for him to practice.
Although there is no spiritual energy, there is actually a way to practice.
For example, in the era of depletion of spiritual energy in the previous life, some people developed methods that were sufficient for cultivation in that era.
But even so, it is difficult to achieve great success.
Li Hong also used this opportunity to improve this method.
The method is very simple, which is to extract the true Qi from the five internal organs of the body, and constantly tap into one’s own Qi, which can be regarded as self-production and self-sales to a certain extent.
This energy is different from spiritual energy, but it can also be regarded as one of the energy of heaven and earth. It can return to the acquired energy and become the innate energy, until it can attract the innate energy and make itself transcendent and become true.
The most important thing about this method is to be in harmony with the Tao, comprehend the great Dao, and attract the arrival of the innate qi.
For Li Hong, this was too easy.
Therefore, he had already crossed this step and achieved innateness.
But in Li Hong’s opinion, Xiantian is still a mortal. The realm that the Taoist wanted to achieve in his previous life is actually just like this, but this method is really good.
After reaching the innate state, the true qi refined by the five internal organs of the body is pure and can be used for cultivation.
It can be considered as using oneself as medicine, thus practicing Taoism without spiritual energy.
But how can the true Qi that one has refined by oneself compare to the spiritual Qi of heaven and earth? It can only be said that there is no other choice. It is absolutely impossible to cultivate and become an immortal using this method.
Therefore, Li Hong improved this method with his extraordinary understanding. At this moment, his body became a circle of its own, like a universe, constantly refining his true Qi. His efficiency was thousands of times faster than ordinary cultivation methods. Only in this way could he become an immortal.
While he was meditating and practicing, he suddenly opened his eyes. His gaze penetrated through layers of buildings, as if he saw something, and his brows furrowed slightly.
He felt a breath that was completely different from this world, so faint that he wouldn’t even be able to sense it if he wasn’t very close.
Li Hong immediately stood up, put on his shoes, opened the door and walked out.
There was only dim light in the corridor, and it was eerily quiet all around, as if one was in a temple.
Just then a black shadow flashed by, and when he looked, the black shadow had disappeared.
Li Hong looked calm as he walked through the corridor, up the stairs, and in a blink of an eye he reached the rooftop.
The building where the office is located is low, and standing on the roof you can see the surrounding high-rise buildings and the bustling night scene.
But he was not the only one on the roof at this moment.
I saw a man wearing red armor and a devil horn mask, holding a two-handed short stick and facing the air seriously, and everyone’s eyes were fixed on him because of his arrival.
Even though all the features on his body were covered, Li Hong immediately recognized that this was lawyer Matt from next door.
It looks like he is a superhero hiding his identity in Hell’s Kitchen.
“Get out of here!”
Matt was surprised by Li Hong’s appearance and warned him in a low voice.
And at this moment, an almost inaudible sound appeared.
Matt instantly swung the short stick in his hand and waved it in the air.
There were a few light sounds coming from the short stick, as if it hit something, and several black shadows flew out.
One of the black shadows quickly moved towards Li Hong, brushed past his side, landed on the wall behind him, and sank directly into it.
Li Hong turned his head and saw that it was a hidden weapon, shaped like a dart.
The dart was originally intended to attack Matt, but Matt intentionally threw it towards Li Hong in order to scare Li Hong away.
However, Li Hong looked calm and showed no sign of panic, which made Matt very annoyed, but it was obvious that there was no time for him to do anything at the moment.
Because there are a few more people on the roof at this moment.
Four guys wearing black night clothes to cover their faces stood at the edge of the wall, holding samurai swords, the blades shining brightly in the moonlight.
Ninja!
Li Hong was a little surprised, but he recognized the origins of these people. They were dressed exactly like the ninjas in the movies.
The aura he just sensed came from these ninjas.
These ninjas’ target was obviously Matt. Without any nonsense, they rushed towards Matt as soon as they appeared.
But one of them came towards Li Hong, seemingly wanting to clean up the mess.
“not good!”
Matt said to himself, he didn’t expect that Li Hong would be implicated.
He immediately rushed towards Li Hong, trying to stop the ninja who was trying to kill Li Hong.
However, the other three ninjas directly blocked Matt’s way, and a fierce battle was about to break out, which directly delayed Matt.
Matt was furious and used two sticks to block the samurai sword. He barely managed to deal with the siege of three ninjas, but it was obviously difficult to rescue Li Hong.
He looked at Li Hong distractedly, hoping that Li Hong would give him some time, but he saw Li Hong standing there stupidly, as if his feet were rooted to the ground.
I was shocked and angry at once. How could he not even run away at the critical moment?
“Run!”
Matt immediately warned loudly, and because of this distraction, he almost failed to avoid the incoming blade.
However, even so, he saw Li Hong motionless, and the ninja was approaching, and he couldn’t help feeling a little sad in his heart, as he had foreseen Li Hong’s end.
Just as the samurai sword was about to fall towards Li Hong, Li Hong grabbed the talisman with his left hand and shouted softly without panic.
“Certainly!”
The next moment, the yellow paper in his hand disintegrated and flew away in the wind.
The samurai sword did not fall for a long time, and even the ninja was motionless. He just stood there holding the samurai sword, motionless.
“What’s going on?”
Matt stared at the scene with eyes wide open in disbelief, wondering what the ninja meant. Was he trying to play a trick on his prey?
However, as time went by, while he was dealing with the siege of three ninjas, he was also keeping an eye on the situation on Li Hong’s side. He was shocked to find that something must have gone wrong with that ninja, as he had been stuck there for a while.
Chapter 9 Demonic Power (Old Version)
Li Hong observed the ninja in front of him. To some extent, he felt that the man in front of him was no longer a “human”.
A certain power swirled within this ninja, and while he might appear to be human in appearance, he was in reality just a shell forcibly formed by that power, and infused with a twisted will.
With that kind of power, maybe it would be possible to build the same body using mud as material.
Just from this point, we can know that the owner behind this power is no ordinary being.
Although its aura is evil, it is also a unique extraordinary creature in this world. I just don’t know if it can be used to make pills.
Li Hong immediately stretched out one hand and grabbed the ninja in front of him who was immobilized by the immobilization talisman.
A dark purple fluorescent light the size of a grain of rice quickly emerged and was firmly grasped in his hand.
As the fluorescent light separated from the ninja’s body, the ninja seemed to have lost his spine. His entire body collapsed instantly and turned into powder and poured onto the ground. It was impossible to tell that this was a human “corpse”.
This scene was also seen by others.
Matt was a little confused. He suspected that he had seen it wrong. From the movement, the ninja seemed to be scattered on the ground like mud and stones. But how could this be possible? People are not made of clay.
When the other three ninjas saw the miserable state of their accomplices, their expressions did not change much, as if they were not surprised, or they did not have the ability to have such emotions.
The next moment, he threw Matt aside and rushed towards Li Hong with a samurai sword in hand.
Seeing this, Li Hong did not waste the immobilization talisman. He stretched out one hand towards them and grabbed the void.
Immediately, three more black and purple fluorescent lights floated out from their bodies, flew towards Li Hong’s palm, and merged with the original fluorescent lights in his hand.
The four fluorescent lights combined, but their size did not change, they just looked darker in color.
After their powers were stripped away, they naturally fell apart like the ninjas before them, their bodies turning into black powder of unknown composition.
Matt was stunned and couldn’t help asking.
At the same time, I realized that the neighbor in front of me was definitely not an ordinary person. Could it be that he had some means to turn a person’s body directly into mud? This method was too evil, and I couldn’t help feeling a chill in my heart.
“They are no longer human beings, but more like puppets. If their power is taken away, they will naturally collapse.”
Li Hong said casually, not minding the answer.
His eyes fell on the fluorescent light in his hand.
This is the power behind these ninjas. To that being, this power is not dispensable.
Like an incarnation, if you want to condense an incarnation, naturally a lot of power is required.
If these ninjas died, this power would not dissipate, but would return to that existence in some way.
It was precisely because of this that the being dared to split its power and create many weak incarnations, probably thinking that there would be no losses. Unfortunately, it met Li Hong.
Matt tried hard to understand Li Hong’s answer and barely guessed the general meaning, which made him even more shocked.
He had dealt with the Hand so many times and thought it was just an ordinary evil organization, but he didn’t expect it to have such extraordinary abilities.
I just don’t know if his teacher knows about this.
“Who are you?!”
Matt suppressed the doubt and horror in his heart and asked.
Everything the other person said and did made him seem very mysterious.
“I remember I introduced you to Attorney Matt.”
Li Hong said softly, directly exposing Matt’s identity.
“How…how did you know that?!”
Matt’s heart was filled with huge waves again. The feeling of having his identity exposed was like being stripped of clothes in public. He felt extremely ashamed and his hands could not help but clench the short stick in their hands.
“I’m not blind… I mean I can see.”
Li Hong said it casually, but he felt that it was not a good idea to say this to a blind man, so he immediately changed his words.
“It’s windy here, why don’t we go down and talk.”
Li Hong then suggested that he was somewhat interested in the origins of these ninjas.
In a blink of an eye, Li Hong returned to his office, followed by lawyer Matt, who had changed back into a suit and did not cover his face.
“Please take a seat.”
Li Hong said casually, opened the lid of the glass tripod on the table, pushed it gently, and the black and purple fluorescent light in his hand immediately fell into the glass tripod.
Snap!
The lid of the tripod closed again, making a crisp sound.
“I’m not used to hot tea, so don’t bother.”
Before Li Hong sat down, he heard Matt speak.
He was slightly stunned, but soon realized that although Matt’s hearing was amazing, it was not as good as his mind, so it was inevitable that he had heard it wrong.
“Then forget it.”
Li Hong was silent for a moment and decided not to tell the other party the truth. He sat down immediately and looked into Matt’s eyes across the desk.
“Where do these ninjas come from?”
Li Hong went straight to the point.
Matt was a little hesitant when he heard this, but then he remembered that Li Hong was not an ordinary person either, so he immediately put away his worries and told the truth.
“They are members of the Hand, an evil organization whose power spans the globe…”
Matt recounted in detail the information about the Hand that he had learned from his teacher.
Li Hong listened carefully, but he didn’t hear anything that interested him, so he interrupted and asked.
“Do you know where their extraordinary powers come from?”
Matt was silent for a moment. If it weren’t for what happened today, he wouldn’t even know that these ninjas possessed extraordinary powers.
He had had many dealings with the Hand and fought against these ninjas many times.
All we know is that they are very difficult to deal with, and are proficient in hidden weapons, in addition to the ninjutsu in the story.
“The Hand seems to worship a demon named Sakumon.”
Matt remembered a rumor, but he had never taken it seriously before.
demon?
Li Hong raised his eyebrows, it seemed that the power he received came from a demon.
He remembered that this world seemed to have an alternate dimension, called a dimension, in which there were powerful beings, such as Mephisto and Dormammu.
This demon is likely to come from this alternate dimension.
Can demons be used to make elixirs? Li Hong suddenly fell into thought.
After all, I have never come across anything like this before.
It can be seen that the existence of this kind of demon is evil in itself, but evil things are not impossible to use to make elixirs. As long as the bad ingredients are burned clean with real fire, there should be no problem.
Just like medicinal herbs, it also has certain toxicity.
Li Hong’s mind suddenly became active. He thought that he could give it a try. Even if he failed, it would only be a waste of time.
Chapter 10: Demon Yuan Dan (Old Version)
After learning what he wanted to know, Li Hong stopped chatting with Matt.
Matt wisely didn’t ask Li Hong how he did it.
After the office door was closed, Li Hong returned to his desk, opened the lid of the tripod, and looked at the black and purple fluorescence inside while thinking.
After a moment, he closed the lid of the cauldron, made some hand gestures, and a scarlet fire lotus suddenly emerged from the bottom of the glazed cauldron.
There are no other condiments, just the refinement of this evil force.
There are a lot of details required, after all, these are completely new materials for elixirs.
If the fire is too low, the evil may not be eliminated; if the fire is too high, even the roots will be burned.
About ten minutes later, the lid of the glazed tripod suddenly burst out and hung in the air. White smoke came out, revealing a black pill inside.
Li Hong stretched out his hand, pinched the pill between his two fingers, and carefully observed the faint lines on it.
Judging from its quality, it has definitely been successfully refined. It has transcended the realm of ordinary elixirs and can barely be considered an elixir.
Put the pill close to your nose and sniff it gently, you will smell a refreshing scent.
Just from the smell, Li Hong could tell that the pill was non-toxic.
Without any hesitation at this moment, he simply bent his fingers, opened his mouth slightly, and popped the pill into his mouth.
The pill melts the moment it enters the mouth, which is a characteristic of elixirs. The medicine goes down the throat and into the stomach.
I just felt it was burning hot!
No, Li Hong’s eyes slightly opened. It was not the temperature, but the spiciness.
He quickly sat on the cushion he bought from Chinatown, closed his eyes, and immediately became one with the Tao.
The liquid medicine released a strong medicinal effect in the body, but the materials used in this pill were destined to be incompatible with his cultivation method.
If the drug was allowed to work, he should have a lot of physical enhancements, similar to the effects of Captain America’s injection of super soldier serum.
But Li Hong did not refine this pill for the purpose of body training.
He immediately began to practice the exercises, and his internal organs turned into roaring machines, diligently extracting the medicinal power and transforming it into innate Qi.
It was as if there was a world inside his body, and this pill was just an insignificant meteorite that was completely refined by the world in an instant.
Li Hong slowly opened his eyes and exhaled a breath of white air.
The effect of this pill was quite good, and it was enough to offset his three days of training.
After all, it was just a little bit of the demon’s differentiated power, and his own cultivation speed was actually not slow. So considering this, the pill was actually just barely acceptable.
If he could catch the demon and stuff it directly into the glass cauldron, and burn it with real fire for several days and nights, the effect of the pill would probably save him a lot of time in cultivation.
Since this pill is made with demons as consumables, let’s name it Demon Yuan Pill.
After thinking for a while, Li Hong closed his eyes again and continued to practice.
While Li Hong was refining the elixir, in a certain dimension, the originally silent, dark and twisted space suddenly roared.
The beast-like demon stood in a human body with a brutal look in his eyes, an unknown animal head and a mouth full of sharp teeth. In addition to his limbs, he also had many strange tentacles on his body, which were all waving restlessly in the air.
“My strength has dwindled!”
Devilmon growled, his voice hoarse.
“Go! Find the thief who stole my power. I will make him pay!”
Devimon continued to roar, as if he was talking to someone, and the sound seemed to pass through the dimensional space and reach someone’s ears.
The next day, as soon as Li Hong opened the door, he saw a figure standing at the door of the law firm next door.
“Good morning, Taoist Priest Li.”
As if waiting to greet him.
Li Hong nodded as a response and then returned to the office.
After a while, Matt was seen standing outside with a takeaway bag in his hand.
“Master Li, have you eaten yet? I bought one.”
In a blink of an eye, Matt appeared in the office. Li Hong was biting a bun in his hand with a cup of soy milk next to him.
Apparently bought specially from Chinatown.
Matt waited quietly for Li Hong to finish eating before he asked.
“Master Li, I don’t know what your firm does. Can you introduce it to me?”
“Selling talismans, funeral rituals and… elixirs.”
Li Hong said lightly, and finally added a new business, elixir.
If he only relied on the first two businesses, it would take an indefinite time to make money, so Li Hong thought about it and decided to add a new business.
“Talisman! Pills!”
Matt sat up straighter when he heard this. You know, he had done some homework before coming here and had some understanding of talismans and elixirs.
The talismans were said to possess a variety of powers, and the elixir could prolong life or even grant immortality.
“What kind of spell? What effect does it have?”
Matt didn’t have much idea about immortality, but he was very interested in talismans. Given the peculiarity of Taoist Li, these talismans might be as powerful as he understood.
“Amulets and talismans, three hundred dollars each.”
Li Hong then introduced the talismans he was selling.
Naturally, there are no offensive spells.
“The amulet can keep you safe and prevent you from getting sick.
The amulet can ward off disasters.”
Carrying amulets with you can keep diseases away and achieve good health.
As for the amulet, its function is even greater. The amulet he produced can even withstand bullets. However, once activated, it can only last for one minute. If the external force is too strong, the time will be reduced accordingly.
“Give me one of each, please.”
Matt was a little disappointed to hear that they were just some protective talismans, but since he had asked, he naturally had to take care of the business. After all, he came here to establish good relations with Li Hong.
Only six hundred dollars!
Li Hong nodded, took out two sheets of yellow paper from the drawer and placed them on the desk, then picked up the brush and began to write.
After just a second, complex runes were drawn on the yellow paper.
The two talismans only took him three seconds.
Then he considerately folded the talisman papers and put them into a small plastic bag, pushed it forward, and prepared to ask for money.
He couldn’t help feeling a little happy. No one had patronized his talisman business before, but now he made six hundred dollars from two talismans. It was a business with no capital investment, which was equivalent to two days’ work in Chinatown.
Matt on the opposite side seemed to be frozen at this moment, his mouth slightly open, and his expression seemed to be unable to maintain control.
He saw with his own eyes that Li Hong spent a few seconds drawing the talisman. It only took a few seconds to make it. He didn’t believe it if someone said it had any magical functions. However, these two talismans cost him six hundred US dollars.
For a moment, Matt felt depressed and worried about his wallet. He felt like a complete sucker.
After all, it’s not easy for a blind man to make money.
Chapter 11 Hit-Girl Mindy (Old Version)
Li Hong on the opposite side naturally noticed Matt’s expression, but he didn’t care and just waited for him to pay.
This is like going to the market to buy fish, and then wanting to change your mind after the fish has been killed, have you asked about the glass tripod on the right hand side?
In the end, Matt paid the money and left with two talismans, looking a little lonely from behind.
But Li Hong didn’t take it to heart. When Matt encountered something, he would understand what the law of true fragrance was.
With six hundred dollars in income, he did not go out to look for work today. Instead, he drew talismans in the office.
In the afternoon, Li Hong was drawing a talisman when a little head poked its head in from outside the door and looked into the office. When it saw Li Hong, its eyes suddenly lit up.
Li Hong looked up at the right time and saw a little girl with blonde hair and twin ponytails walking in. Her eyes seemed to glow. She was a real beauty and was looking at him with joy.
“What’s up?”
After taking a look, Li Hong lowered his head and continued to draw the talisman.
The girl with blonde hair and ponytail walked quickly to the desk, put her hands on the desk, and stared at the talismans piled up like a mountain on the desk that had not yet been put away. Her eyes were full of desire, and she couldn’t help swallowing.
“Are you hiring here?”
The girl forced her eyes away from the talisman paper and asked.
“No.”
Li Hong said without thinking.
“I’m very cheap! Just provide me with three meals a day.”
When the girl heard this, she became anxious and spoke quickly.
“I remember that it is illegal to employ child labor.”
“This is Hell’s Kitchen, no one would care about this.”
“I’m not short of manpower.”
The girl’s face suddenly fell, her bright big eyes became misty, making her look pitiful, her little nose twitched, and she looked like she was about to cry.
“Please, I haven’t eaten for three days. If no one takes me in, I’m going to starve to death.”
The girl looked tearful with watery eyes. She held Li Hong’s hand holding the pen with both hands, and begged in a weak voice, like a puppy abandoned by its owner on the roadside.
Li Hong’s hand suddenly stopped, he looked up at the girl with blonde twin ponytails in front of him, his expression unmoved, and asked lightly.
“Doesn’t your big daddy give you food to eat?”
That’s right, Li Hong recognized this girl the moment he saw her. She was the Hit-Girl he met in the gang a few days ago.
Even though he was wearing a mask and a purple wig at the time, he could not hide it from Li Hong.
The girl was shocked when she heard it. The grievance on her face disappeared instantly. She took a few steps back and asked in disbelief, “How did you recognize him?”
“How did you find me?”
Li Hong did not answer, but asked instead.
Hit-Girl immediately became arrogant and said with her head held high and a smug look on her face, “That’s easy. How many people in Hell’s Kitchen can see you dressed like that? Just ask around and you’ll know.”
“So what are you doing here?”
“I want to be your disciple!”
The girl’s eyes were as bright as gems. Ever since she saw Li Hong use a piece of yellow paper to directly summon terrifying thunder to kill the enemy, she made up her mind to learn this trick.
So after asking around for a few days, I finally found him.
Originally, her eldest father saw through her clues and wanted to persuade her to give up this idea. After all, the man had an unknown origin and strange methods. He was not an ordinary person.
But she did not give up. Instead, she secretly ran away without telling her big dad.
After saying this, Hit-Girl didn’t even think twice and followed the etiquette of becoming a disciple that she had learned in advance. She bent her legs and kowtowed to Li Hong.
However, she was soon surprised to find that her knees could not bend, as if an invisible force was blocking her.
“I won’t accept any disciples for now.”
Li Hong shook his head and refused directly.
“Then when will you collect it?” Hit-Girl did not give up and asked.
“I will collect it when I want to.”
“Then I’ll wait until the day you want to take it back.”
Hit-Girl immediately said with a firm expression.
She did not leave afterwards. Instead, she watched Li Hong draw talismans while chatting with him.
“Is this the spell you drew for that day?”
“no.”
“What was the spell that day?”
“Five Thunderbolts Talisman.”
“What kind of spell is this?”
“Fire Dragon Talisman.”
“Can you give me one?”
“cannot.”
“Are you accepting disciples now?”
“No.”
Li Hong’s expression remained calm, and the movement of drawing talismans in his hands was not affected at all.
A few days passed in a blink of an eye, and the little girl came every day and cleaned the office diligently every time she came.
Although there is Li Hong’s talisman, this place is not stained with dust, so it is very clean.
Li Hong also learned the girl’s name, Mindy McCready.
On the rooftop of the office, there were two people standing at the moment. They looked a little funny. Both of them were holding blind sticks, but they looked into the distance as if they could see.
One of them was wearing a suit and sunglasses, and it was lawyer Matt.
The other person was also wearing sunglasses, his face was old and wrinkled, he was wearing a baseball cap, his gray hair was sticking out from the brim, and he was holding a blind stick in his hand.
But this stick is much thicker than Matt’s, and it doesn’t look like it is used to detect road conditions, but to hit people.
“The Hand in New York has been much more active recently. They seem to be looking for someone again. You have to be careful and don’t get entangled by them.”
“Yes, sir.”
Matt immediately responded that the man in front of him was his teacher who had taught him since childhood, named Gun Sou.
“The man you told me about before is in this building?”
The old man with a stick suddenly asked.
“Yes,” Matt answered truthfully.
In his heart, Gun Sou was like a father to him, so he did not hide anything about Li Hong and told him about the information about the Hand when he asked him about it.
“In that case, let’s meet him. If he’s really as powerful as you say, we have to find a way to bring him to our side. Maybe we can use this to eradicate this scourge of the Hand!”
Inside the office, Mindy was sitting at her desk, her legs swinging constantly, holding a talisman in her hand, staring at the runes on it carefully, wanting to write down the runes to see if she could copy them and make the same talisman.
Just then, she looked up at the door and heard the noise in advance.
Sure enough, a few seconds later, two uninvited guests holding blind sticks appeared at the door.
“Mingdy, is Taoist Li here?”
Matt asked with a smile on his face. As a neighbor, he naturally knew that there was a little girl in the office next door in the past few days.
Chapter 12 This Is Not Charity (Old Version)
In a blink of an eye, Li Hong was sitting at the desk, with Mindy standing next to him, and a smiling and kind-looking old man with a stick sitting opposite him. As for Matt, he was serving on the side like a disciple.
“You want me to join you in fighting the Hand ninjas?”
Li Hong’s eyes fell on the old man with the stick’s sunglasses and he asked softly.
“Yes, the Hand is notorious, but its power is strong. If you join us, you will definitely help us eradicate it!”
The old man with the stick spoke with a righteous tone, his voice was sonorous and powerful, and he seemed very determined to destroy the Hand.
“I can help you.”
Li Hong said softly, but only said to help, but did not say to join them.
The old man with the stick immediately understood what Li Hong meant and was not disappointed. It was impossible to convince him directly when they met for the first time.
“How can I help?”
Li Hong did not answer, but opened the drawer and took out a talisman.
The old man with the stick’s expression changed slightly. He had some understanding of the Taoist’s talismans. He only heard Matt say that the man in front of him was a Taoist with real skills, so naturally he also had expectations for the talisman.
“This spell has no other effect, but it can come in handy against the Hand’s ninjas.”
Li Hong then explained the function of this talisman. Unlike other talismans, this one was specially made by Li Hong and was specifically used to deal with the power of the devil.
It could be said to be a sealing talisman, and it would be very effective as long as the opponent was a ninja possessed by demonic power.
But this talisman can only deal with the power of that demon. It will still be ineffective against other demons.
The old man with a stick was a little excited when he heard this. Even Matt, the child he raised since childhood, didn’t know that he was actually from the Shuhe Society.
He was raised by the Hand since he was a child, but later learned some truths about the Hand, so he chose to rebel.
Among them is the demon worshipped by the Hand, who knows the truth that the Hand ninjas can be resurrected, but he cannot trust the immortality gained through the demon.
If what Li Hong said is true, then this talisman will be of great use, and they can completely destroy the power of the Hand.
The Hand’s resurrection ability meant they had no advantage in the years of fighting. Every time they fought, they both suffered injuries, but the dead on the other side could be resurrected again. How could they win in the long run?
“How much can you offer?”
The old man with the stick’s voice trembled slightly, and he was trying hard to suppress his excitement.
“How many do you need?”
Li Hong asked in return, for him it was just a matter of picking up a pen, and it didn’t even cost much.
The old man with the stick was slightly stunned, but he quickly realized what this meant, which was that the other party could provide a lot!
“One hundred!”
The old man with the stick said tentatively, wanting to see if Li Hong really had that much.
“Can.”
Li Hong agreed immediately. It would not take much time to finish only a hundred pictures.
“Three hundred dollars a piece, and I have one condition.”
Li Hong’s words caught the old man off guard. He didn’t expect that he would actually ask for money.
Matt also looked at Li Hong in surprise. He almost thought that Li Hong was moved by their justice, but he didn’t expect it to be like this.
Li Hong had a calm expression. He could see the interesting expressions on Matt and Gun Sou’s faces, but he didn’t care.
“Humph, if my teacher didn’t want to help you, it would only cost 30,000 US dollars to deal with an evil organization that can be resurrected? The funeral expenses we usually spend wouldn’t be enough.”
Mindy immediately expressed her dissatisfaction upon seeing this, her face wrinkled. She probably understood what was going on, and was naturally angry when she saw the other party showing such an expression.
Of course, she was not without her own little thoughts and had already secretly called Li Hong “teacher”.
“Don’t get me wrong, money is not a problem, but what are the conditions that Taoist Li mentioned?”
The old man with the stick said quickly, restraining the expression on his face.
A mere 30,000 yuan is not a lot for him. He is the leader of another ninja organization, the Shinjunkai, so he naturally would not be short of such a small amount of money.
“The spell will seal the demon’s power. You need to return the spell you used.”
Li Hong then said calmly that the reason why he agreed to help the old man with a stick, who had nothing to do with him and whom he just met for the first time, was of course because he wanted to find someone to collect demonic power for him so that he would have the materials to make pills.
“Can I ask what you need the demon’s power for?”
Hearing this condition, the old man with the stick’s expression changed slightly and he asked.
Li Hong answered very briefly.
The old man with the stick suddenly fell into deep thought. He was mainly worried that Li Hong would use the power of the devil to do something, so he would be considered an accomplice.
But if it could help him eradicate the Hand, he was willing to take the risk. After all, it was just a guess.
The old man with the stick agreed immediately.
“Come and get it tomorrow afternoon. You can take this one back and try it out.”
Li Hong placed the talisman in his hand in front of the old man with the stick.
The old man with the stick nodded and reached out for the talisman paper. At this time, Li Hong spoke again.
“This one is three hundred dollars.”
“Ahem…Matt, pay.”
The old man with the stick was slightly stunned. He coughed, picked up the talisman paper, and said to Matt.
After Matt took out three hundred dollars, Li Hong saw him off and left.
Li Hong got another three hundred dollars, and was about to get thirty thousand. He couldn’t help but feel happier.
“Teacher, you are amazing. You made 30,000 yuan in one go.”
Mindy immediately showed a cute expression, with her two little hands tucked under her chin, looking up at Li Hong with admiring eyes, as if she was looking at some big star.
“I’m not your teacher.”
However, Li Hong didn’t buy it and directly exposed Mingdy’s hidden thoughts.
As soon as these words were spoken, Mindy’s expression suddenly fell. She looked very aggrieved and disappointed, which made people want to sympathize with her at first glance.
“Don’t pretend, this amulet is for you.”
Li Hong knew very well that this little girl was an actress with strong acting skills. He tapped her head lightly with one hand and spoke calmly.
Sure enough, the next moment Mingdy’s face changed instantly, revealing a smug smile, and happily took the amulet from Li Hong’s hand.
She couldn’t help but feel secretly delighted. Although Li Hong still did not agree to take her as his disciple, he at least gave her a talisman worth three hundred dollars. How could this not be considered progress?
Sure enough, the efforts of the past few days were not in vain. Today I can give her a talisman and tomorrow I can accept her as my apprentice. Mindy immediately showed a sly smile, and in an instant it seemed to make this office glow with bright light.
Chapter 13: Help (Old Version)
The old man with the stick tried it out as soon as he got the talisman.
As an old rival of the Hand, it is extremely easy to find a ninja from the Hand.
Especially now that the Hand has gone crazy and sent many ninjas to New York.
On a street at night, a guy in red armor holding two short sticks was fighting with several ninjas. The weapons clashed and bright sparks flew from time to time.
Just then, a man walked out from the corner of an alley. He was wearing a baseball cap, a gray work suit, and holding a long stick. He walked into the corner that was not illuminated by the dim street lights.
Suddenly a ninja broke away from the battle and planned to deal with the uninvited guest.
However, just as he was approaching quickly, he saw the man take out something, which flew out of his hand and came straight towards him. It looked like a piece of yellow paper.
Just as he was about to swing his katana to cut it off, the yellow paper suddenly emitted a ray of light that shone on him.
The next moment he felt that the most important thing in his body was being stripped away. His body suddenly disintegrated and turned into black soil that scattered on the ground.
Clang!
The samurai sword fell to the ground. The other ninjas all witnessed this scene. They felt a chill in their hearts and immediately thought of evacuating.
“Don’t even think about running!”
Matt shouted angrily, trying to stop them, and threw the short stick in his hand and sent it flying.
Two short sticks flew past a ninja, seemingly missed, but the ninja didn’t care.
However, the next moment, I felt my back tighten, and then the two pieces of the stick flew back inexplicably. Only then did I realize that there was an invisible thin fishing line at the end of the stick.
The short stick flew back and spun in front of the ninja, and the fishing line on it tied it tightly.
But even so, only one person was left.
The other ninjas were nowhere to be seen.
The old man with the stick came over, holding the talisman in his hand, but the talisman was now wrapped up and seemed to contain something.
“very good!”
Even the old man with the stick had a hint of obvious joy in his voice. He had thought it would be useful, but he had not expected it to be so magical. His evaluation of Li Hong immediately went up a level.
The next afternoon, Stick Man and Matt showed up as expected, bringing with them the talisman that sealed the devil’s power and three stacks of banknotes.
One hand pays the other hand receives the goods.
After getting the things, Matt and Stick Man didn’t stay and left impatiently. It seemed that they were eager to give the Hand ninjas a good beating.
Mindy stared curiously at the talisman in Li Hong’s hand, as if she wanted to observe the so-called demonic power up close.
However, the next moment, he saw Li Hong open the talisman, and he was startled and took a few steps back.
A dark purple fluorescent light came out from the talisman paper, and it was about to leave after losing the seal.
At this moment, Li Hong casually opened the lid of the glass tripod on the desk, and a powerful suction force immediately enveloped the demonic power, and it was sucked into the glass tripod without any suspense.
Mindy’s eyes widened and her mouth slightly opened. She had never expected that this seemingly cheap decorative glass tripod could be so magical. She immediately went to the table and carefully observed the black and purple light in it. Now, only a sesame-sized piece was left, lying obediently in the tripod.
“Master, what do you want this demonic power for?”
Mindy asked curiously, but she didn’t expect to get an answer. After all, in her opinion, Li Hong must be using demonic power to do something secret.
“Alchemy.”
“Is it the kind of elixir that can prolong life?”
Mindy immediately became interested, as if she had discovered something new.
“What’s the use of that?”
“Practice faster. Okay, I have to go out for a while, you should go back.”
Li Hong casually took the peach wood sword from the wall and put it on his back, picked up the fortune-telling bag and slung it in front of him, and started to drive people away.
With 30,000 US dollars in hand, I naturally want to spend it well.
“Where are you going?”
Mindy suddenly jumped up from her chair, her face full of curiosity, as if she wanted to follow.
“Buy some stuff.”
“Can I come with you?”
However, Li Hong did not answer and walked straight out of the office.
Seeing this, Mingdy hurriedly followed behind him. She had already figured out Li Hong’s temper in the past few days, so if he didn’t refuse, it meant he agreed.
Li Hong strolled on the street, with Mingdy following him, heading towards Chinatown.
“Master, where are you from?”
“Master, how old are you? I heard that the appearance of you cultivators is different from your actual age. Are you already in your seventies or eighties?”
Along the way, Mindy kept chattering, as if she had endless questions. Even though Li Hong didn’t answer much, Mindy had no intention of stopping.
Soon they arrived at Chinatown. There were more people around, and Mindy finally shut up and looked at the surrounding shops curiously, as if she was here for shopping.
Just as Li Hong was walking towards the pharmacy he had visited last time, a figure suddenly rushed over, which scared Mindy. Worried that the man would attack Li Hong, she consciously grabbed the butterfly knife in her pocket.
But the next moment, this person’s action stunned Mingdy. It seemed that this person tripped and fell, and then knelt down in front of Li Hong.
“Master, I was blind last time. Please forgive me for being so magnanimous! I will return all the money I collected from you last time!”
Li Hong looked normal as he looked at the man in front of him. It was the person who sold the Glazed Tripod to him last time.
But now his body is wrapped in gauze, not much different from a mummy. His face is not covered, but some minor scars can be seen. At this moment, he is holding the three hundred US dollars he got last time in his hand, and shouting excitedly and crying.
Everyone around was immediately attracted by the scene and started talking about it.
But Mindy was completely confused. She really didn’t understand what he was saying. The next second she realized that he was speaking a language she couldn’t understand.
“You get up first.”
Li Hong said this lightly, and was not much moved by the other party’s kneeling.
“Please forgive me first, otherwise I won’t dare to get up.”
That person seemed to want to rely on Li Hong.
There was a sudden buzz of discussion all around, and people started pointing fingers at Li Hong, as if they thought Li Hong had done something to them and were now begging Li Hong to spare them.
Li Hong could hear the groundless accusations around him and shook his head slightly. The next second he walked around the stall owner nonchalantly, with Mindy following closely.
“Master, should we ignore him?”
“No, he will come to me naturally.”
Li Hong said calmly that when he saw the stall owner’s appearance, he knew that he was doomed.
But this disaster has nothing to do with him. It was destined. Li Hong gave him the choice to avoid the disaster, but he just didn’t choose it.
He is not wrong, and Li Hong is not wrong either.
Soon the stall owner caught up again, but he didn’t dare to kneel down, for fear that Li Hong would leave directly. He observed Li Hong’s expression tremblingly and handed over the money in his hand.
“Just tell me what you want to say. This money is what I used to buy the Glazed Cauldron. You want to return it to me, but do you want to take the Glazed Cauldron back?”
Li Hong did not take the money and said lightly.
When the stall owner heard this, his expression changed, but he finally took the money. I don’t know what he was thinking about, but a sad look appeared on his face.
“I failed the Taoist priest’s kindness last time. Please save my daughter!”
The stall owner showed sincere regret on his face. Two lines of tears rolled down his rough face. His knees went weak and he was about to kneel down to Li Hong again.
Li Hong frowned and used an inexplicable force to stop the other party’s sinking knees. He was not a god and did not like others kneeling to him.
“Lead the way ahead.”
Li Hong said softly.
“What?” The stall owner stopped crying and asked in surprise. He didn’t hear it clearly, or rather, he didn’t quite believe it after hearing it.
“Aren’t you trying to save your daughter?”
Li Hong couldn’t help but ask back.
When the stall owner heard this, he hurriedly wiped the tears from his face and burst into laughter, as if he had hope.
“Master, please follow me.”
The stall owner quickly led Li Hong to the destination, but the direction was away from Chinatown.
The stall owner on the road told Li Hong what had happened to him.
The stall owner’s name is Wang Degui, which sounds very retro.
Although he remembered Li Hong’s reminder after closing the stall that day, he didn’t take it seriously. He just regarded it as a scam by the other party. After all, people wearing Taoist robes are not necessarily Taoists these days.
However, the disaster that the Taoist priest mentioned soon happened.
Last night, Wang Fugui couldn’t resist the request of his seven-year-old daughter and took her to the recently popular Stark Expo.
Halfway through the show, Iron Man suddenly dropped from the sky in his battle suit and inexplicably started fighting with the army of robots displayed by the military.
There was chaos at the scene, with people trampling on each other, and his daughter fell during the evacuation.
Just at this moment, a large piece of glass from the top fell down. Wang Fugui didn’t even think about it and just rushed over, and at that time the glass from the sky was falling down.
Wang Fugui blocked most of the glass, so he was covered with bruises, but it was all worth it. When he looked at his daughter in his arms, who seemed intact, he couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief. He stroked his daughter’s hair with a look of fear, wanting to comfort her.
However, when he raised his hand, he found a pool of blood on it. It was not his, but his daughter’s.
At that time, he picked up his daughter with a panicked look on his face and wanted to find an ambulance, but he forgot that he was also hit by the glass. He held on to his breath and got out of there. He met the ambulance that arrived and fainted after sending his daughter to the ambulance.
When he woke up, it was already the next day, but he learned that his daughter had a small piece of glass stuck in her head and was in a coma.
The only consolation was that Stark was responsible for the accident and they found the so-called best doctor.
But I learned from the doctor that this operation was very risky and even the best surgeon was not very confident.
If time is allowed to drag on without surgery, his daughter will become a vegetable, and even if the surgery is successful in the end, it will be difficult for her to wake up.
Chapter 14 Disaster (Old Version)
Wang Fugui collapsed and regretted bringing his daughter to the Stark Expo.
Just when he was filled with regret and self-blame, he suddenly remembered Li Hong’s words.
It seemed that that sentence corresponded to the current situation exactly, and I felt even more regretful and self-blameful. If I had bought those two amulets at that time, would this situation not have happened today?
It was all his fault, and he couldn’t help but hit his head in regret.
Suddenly he realized something, like a drowning man grabbing a floating straw.
Amid the puzzled gazes of the crowd, he ran out of the hospital and went to Chinatown to inquire about Li Hong’s background.
In his opinion, if the Taoist priest really encountered his disaster, he might be able to save his daughter.
Fortunately, he was lucky. Not long after arriving here, he ran into Li Hong who was out shopping.
“Master, he is so pitiful, why don’t you save his daughter.”
Listening to Li Hong’s retelling, Mingdi felt a sense of empathy. With a trace of sadness on her face, she began to plead with Wang Fugui. She didn’t know where she got the confidence from to believe in Li Hong’s ability so much. She thought that as long as Li Hong was willing to save the other person, the other person could be saved.
“What do you think we are doing now?”
Even with Li Hong’s state of mind, he was left speechless by Mingdi’s words and couldn’t help but ask.
Several people quickly left Chinatown and got into a taxi and sped away.
Soon the taxi stopped in front of the Metropolitan Hospital. Wang Fugui got out quickly and looked at Li Hong’s slow pace with some anxiety.
Seeing this, Mingdi didn’t care about anything else and pulled Li Hong’s Taoist robe sleeve, wanting to take him to walk faster.
Li Hong was somewhat helpless and could only speed up his pace a little. In the eyes of others, Li Hong was still walking step by step in an orderly manner. However, if you observe carefully, you will find that Li Hong walked faster than Wang Fugui who was running desperately beside him.
In the end, it was Li Hong and Mingdi who stood at the hospital entrance waiting for the breathless Wang Fugui.
“Don’t worry. Now that I’m here, she’ll be fine.”
Li Hong said calmly. His eyes had penetrated through the layers of buildings and saw the girl lying on the hospital bed with her eyes closed and various medical devices inserted into her body.
Mingdy immediately looked at Li Hong with starry eyes, and felt that the Taoist’s words were plain but very domineering.
Finally, under the leadership of Wang Fugui, Li Hong appeared on the third floor.
Wang Fugui pushed the door open eagerly, and Li Hongmingdi followed closely behind him.
I saw a girl lying on the hospital bed, and next to her sat a very haggard woman with tears on her face.
“Where have you been? Your daughter is lying here, and you ran away!”
The moment she saw Wang Fugui, the woman stood up excitedly, pounded Wang Fugui’s chest with her fists, and regardless of his injuries, she hugged him and cried with red eyes, tears streaming down her shoulders.
“I’m going to find a doctor for my daughter!”
Wang Fugui said with a look of shame, knowing that it was too much to abandon his wife at this time.
“What does the doctor say now?”
Wang Fugui asked hurriedly.
“They are still discussing the surgical plan, but… they said that no matter what… the risk of the operation is very high… so… let’s be mentally prepared.”
When Wang Fugui’s wife mentioned this, her tears fell faster and she insisted while holding back her tears.
Wang Fugui’s eyes also turned red and mist rose in his eyes. He quickly remembered something, pulled his wife away, and looked at Li Hong with pleading eyes.
“Master, please take a look at my daughter. If you can cure her, I will work like a slave for you!”
Mindy’s eyes were slightly red, and she was obviously moved by the atmosphere in the room. Her mouth was slightly turned down, as if she had thought of something and was about to cry.
Li Hong’s expression remained calm, without the slightest hint of sadness. Looking at the girl’s face, he had already made a judgment in his mind.
He had also seen that Wang Fugui and his family would face a disaster, but they would not die. So his judgment was still correct now.
Even if he didn’t come, the girl would still be saved.
Just as Li Hong was about to say something, the door of the ward was suddenly pushed open and several figures walked in quickly.
“How is the child?”
The person who came was Tony Stark who often appeared on TV, accompanied by Happy and Pepper.
“How dare you ask! You brought all this upon me!”
Wang Fugui spoke angrily to Tony in a low voice like an enraged beast.
“I’m sorry.”
Tony looked guilty, but couldn’t argue.
“We don’t need you to be hypocritical here, get out!”
Although Wang Fugui was excited, he did not forget that his daughter was the most important thing at the moment. He immediately asked them to leave. Continuing the argument would only delay the treatment time for his daughter.
“I’ll find the best doctor and she’ll be fine!”
Tony assured with determination in his eyes, but instead of further annoying the angry father, he walked out with Happy and the others.
Just when he was going to find the doctor in charge to find out more, he suddenly frowned and looked towards the door of the ward again, as if he was thinking about something.
“Happy, you stay and watch to prevent them from making inappropriate decisions. I’ll go get the doctor.”
Tony immediately instructed Happy that if he was not mistaken, the people standing in the ward just now were not only the family members of the injured girl, but also a guy in strange clothes.
It didn’t take Tony much thought to guess who was in the room.
But he could also understand a father’s desperate attempt to find a cure, so he immediately quickened his pace and left.
In the room, Wang Fugui looked at Li Hong worriedly and asked cautiously.
“Master, what’s going on?”
Looking at Li Hong who was observing his daughter, Wang Fugui suddenly found himself feeling uneasy.
Li Hong was just the medicine he found for himself when he was in despair. Now that he really found it, he couldn’t help but feel a little nervous.
What if what Li Hong said at that time was just a common tactic used by scammers? What if everything was just a coincidence?
Even if it wasn’t a coincidence, and the Taoist priest had some ability, could he really save his daughter? Would the doctor be more reliable?
The thought that I held tightly at that time now gave rise to many doubts.
“Get a bowl.”
Li Hong could see the complicated emotions in Wang Fugui’s eyes, but he didn’t care and spoke calmly.
Wang Fugui immediately ran out to look around, and came back hurriedly after a while, bringing a lunch box that was wet with water, and had obviously been washed carefully.
He took a tissue and wiped the lunch box clean with very fast hands, as if he was racing against the god of death.
“Master, is this okay?”
After doing all this, Wang Fugui came to Li Hong with a nervous look on his face and asked.
“Bring me half a bowl of water.”
Hearing this, Wang Fugui hurried out again, and after a while he came back carefully carrying the lunch box.
“Put it down.”
Li Hong nodded and signaled Wang Fugui to put down the lunch box.
Wang Fugui did as he was told, then stepped aside and stood with his wife, staring nervously with his back wet with sweat.
Then Li Hong took out a talisman from his fortune-telling bag, which made Wang Fugui and his wife look at each other in surprise and swallow their saliva.
No way?!
Wang Fugui’s wife quietly pulled his sleeve, her eyes full of questioning.
However, the next moment, things happened just as Wang Fugui had imagined.
The talisman paper in Li Hong’s hand suddenly caught fire, emitting a strong flame, and then was thrown directly into the rice bowl by Li Hong. It gradually sank into the water, and finally the flame was swallowed by the water.
Only a layer of ash remained of the talisman in the lunch box, appearing black in the water.
“Master, what is this?”
Wang Fugui couldn’t help but step forward. Even though he had already guessed it, he still asked the question knowingly. He really couldn’t imagine that what he guessed was the answer.
“Give her the drink.”
Li Hong said this calmly, but still gave Wang Fugui the answer that he didn’t want to hear. In an instant, Wang Fugui seemed to have the sky fall.
Originally he thought that Taoist Li knew something like acupuncture, but in the end it turned out to be the unacceptable talisman water. How could he accept this…
“Master, you don’t want her to drink it, do you?”
Although Mingdy didn’t understand, she could still guess something by looking at their expressions and the bowl of talisman water, so she asked immediately.
“That’s right.”
“Can’t you just use the spell? I see you don’t usually use spells like this.”
As a witness to the magical power of the talisman, Mindy naturally had no doubts, but was a little puzzled.
“If it’s an external injury, you can use it directly, but this is an internal injury, so it needs to be taken internally.”
Li Hong started to explain to Mindy.
In fact, it was mainly because the level of this talisman was not high. Li Hong drew it casually. Although it was a bit troublesome, it could still be used to treat general injuries without any problems.
Of course, he could also draw a more advanced spell that would heal immediately without internal consumption, but there was no need for it.
Wang Fugui was also listening to Li Hong’s explanation to Mingdi at this moment. He felt that it was not so unbelievable and his eyes were full of hesitation.
Finally, he picked up the bowl of talisman water with trembling arms, but he had not yet made a real decision in his heart.
Li Hong did not urge her, but watched quietly. After all, it would not be a big deal if he delayed her for a while.
Just as Wang Fugui was walking towards the bed with the talisman water and a struggling look on his face, an uninvited guest broke in.
It was Happy, who had been secretly observing for a while and witnessed the creation process of the talisman water with his own eyes.
“Don’t do anything stupid. The doctors will be here soon. They are the best doctors in New York. I believe they will make the most correct judgment.”
Happy stretched out a hand and blocked Wang Fugui across the bed.
Wang Fugui couldn’t help but look back at Li Hong, trying to find an answer that would support him in doing all this, but there was none.
Li Hong’s face was still as calm as the surface of the water, without any ripples.
PS: Please give me flowers, votes, and various data
Chapter 15 Gathering (Old Version)
And it was precisely because of this face that Wang Fugui felt a little dazed and suddenly recalled that day.
Li Hong had the same expression at that time, and asked him if he wanted to get a discount of 200 US dollars for one amulet, or 300 US dollars for two amulets.
One amulet corresponds to him, and the other amulet corresponds to his daughter.
If I had agreed at that time, would things not be like this today?
At this moment, his heart calmed down a little, and he had more confidence in Li Hong, and continued to walk towards his daughter.
When Happy saw this, he immediately tried to stop it, but a short figure stopped him.
It was Mindy who blocked Happy’s path, and with one hand she pulled out a butterfly knife from her pocket, and she casually flipped her fingers around, dancing like a butterfly.
Master!
Happy looked at Mindy, the girl with the golden ponytail, in disbelief. As a bodyguard, he knew that Mindy was not easy to deal with just by looking at this move, so he immediately took her seriously, but still wanted to break through.
The next moment, Mindy put away the butterfly knife, stepped on the railing of the bed, leaped to the same height as Happy, clamped Happy’s head with her calves, and pushed her body downward suddenly.
Happy instinctively felt something was wrong, but it was too late.
A powerful explosive force came, pulling Happy backwards, like a giant elephant falling to the ground, making a huge noise.
In order to avoid hitting Li Hong, Mingdy deliberately changed direction.
Of course, Mindy only knocked Happy down and he wasn’t seriously injured. Just when he was trying to break free and stand up again, a voice came from behind.
“Oh, Happy!”
Happy turned around and saw Tony and Miss Pepper appear at the door.
The words just now were uttered by Miss Pepper. She covered her mouth with her hands in surprise and looked at the scene in disbelief.
Tony was equally surprised, but his surprised eyes fell on Mindy.
He knew Happy’s level. Although his skills were not top-notch, he was not to the extent that he could be knocked down by a little girl. This only showed that this little girl was very extraordinary.
Seeing this, Mindy clapped her hands, let go of Happy with a smile on her face, stood up and returned to Li Hong, signaling at Li Hong with her eyes, as if showing off.
“stop!”
At this moment, Wang Fugui was only thinking about his daughter and didn’t know what was going on. Just as he lifted up his daughter’s breathing mask, a sharp voice suddenly rang out.
Not Tony!
A young doctor walked in with a gloomy face, holding his head high and looking very arrogant.
“What are you doing?”
The doctor walked to the bedside and questioned Wang Fugui with a stern face, his voice filled with anger.
Wang Fugui was stared at by that domineering gaze and felt his body become a little stiff. Under this powerful aura, his hands began to tremble, causing the water in the lunch box to ripple along with them.
“I…”
Wang Fugui had never seen someone with such a strong aura before. He was completely suppressed and his voice was a little hesitant.
“I asked you what you were doing?!”
However, he was interrupted loudly by the other party just after he said a word. It seemed that he didn’t really want to know what Wang Fugui was doing.
“This is the patient’s family member. Who are you to yell at me?”
Seeing this, Mingdy felt a little unhappy, so she spoke up for Wang Fugui and asked the doctor in the white coat.
The doctor’s cold eyes immediately swept over Mindy, but his aura had no effect on Mindy, and he only received a provocative look from Mindy.
In fact, no matter how strong the doctor’s aura is, he cannot suppress Mindy. The number of people he has saved may not be as many as the number of people she has killed.
“I am Stephen Strange, the patient’s surgeon! Any treatment plan for the patient was formulated by me, and I don’t think it includes drinking a bowl of unknown liquid that may contain highly toxic substances!”
Li Hong stared at the other person quietly. When he appeared, Li Hong recognized him as Doctor Strange, but now he seemed to be just a doctor.
“Who are you? Are you also a relative of the patient, or a clown from a troupe?”
Stephen had no intention of getting entangled with a little girl, and his eyes immediately fell on Li Hong. Whether it was the strange outfit or the unique temperament, he determined that this was the source of the current situation.
After hearing this, before Li Hong could react, Mingdy exploded.
He saw a flash of silver light, and a butterfly knife flew across his face with a sharp breath, passing close to the hair on his face and finally nailed to the wall.
“Do you want to die?”
Stephen did not respond. He raised a slender hand, and a few centimeters of short hair fell into his hand. They were the hair that was injured by the blade.
Although his expression seemed to remain the same, he was actually stiff.
No matter how domineering he was, he was only treating his patients and was within his own field. But the other party had already drawn his knife, and it was a real knife, which was a bit beyond his field.
“Olishe! This child is too violent.”
Tony, who was watching the show, couldn’t help but swear. He was also a little frightened just now. If it was off by one centimeter, there would be blood.
Happy was also a little scared, fortunately the other party didn’t use a knife just now.
“Misunderstanding, this kid has good aim, he learned it from the acrobatic troupe.”
Seeing that the atmosphere was somewhat silent, Li Hong immediately spoke.
“I am considered a doctor invited by the patient’s family.”
Li Hong thought that if he said he was a Taoist priest, he would have to explain what a Taoist priest was, which would be a bit troublesome. So there was nothing wrong with his identity as a doctor.
“Which medical school did you graduate from, how many years have you been in the industry, and what papers have you published!”
Stephen came back to his senses, stared at Li Hong and started to criticize him. Of course, with the lesson just now in mind, his words had been appropriately modified before they came out.
“The medical skills I learned are not the same as yours.”
Li Hong responded calmly to Stephen’s angry look.
“Oh? Then I’d like to hear what your treatment plan is?”
Stephen asked somewhat sarcastically.
“Use special talisman paper as medicine, drink it and you will be cured.”
Li Hong said seriously. At this moment, Tony and Pepper looked at him with shock in their eyes.
“I know. I’ve studied your medical skills. If it were Chinese medicine or acupuncture, I would still believe it, but this is no longer Chinese medicine.”
Stephen said that he had studied medical history and knew the special treatment methods in some countries, including this one, but in his opinion it was purely psychological comfort!
“As long as it works.” Li Hong said calmly without any fluctuation in his eyes.
Hearing this answer, Stephen almost laughed out of anger, but he glanced at Mindy who was looking at him hungrily and held back.
“Make sure you listen to this person and follow my treatment plan. Although there are great risks, it is not incurable.”
Stephen then looked at Wang Fugui and asked in a cold voice.
Wang Fugui was also a little hesitant and began to waver again.
Li Hong did not make any statement or guarantee, but Mindy spoke out of sympathy.
“You are stupid. If you hadn’t begged the Taoist priest, why would he come? Now that he is here, you are hesitant. Do you really want to cure your daughter, or do you want to watch your daughter die in the operation?”
Mingdy’s words immediately awakened Wang Fugui, and his eyes gradually became firm.
“I believe in the Taoist priest.”
The decision was made immediately.
“I’m sorry, this is a hospital, not your home. Since you have chosen this place, you can only abide by our medical plan. So without my consent, even you cannot use other people’s plans to treat my patients.”
Stephen said firmly that although he asked Wang Fugui’s opinion, he really didn’t expect him to agree.
“I don’t see who disagrees. I just made a clear decision, but I can’t guarantee the next move.”
Mindy took out a butterfly knife from somewhere and said domineeringly.
When Steve saw Mindy playing with the butterfly knife in her hand, he knew he had lost.
The best option at this moment is to call security, but there are certainly better options.
Steve then looked at Tony Stark beside him. He was Iron Man after all, he couldn’t be afraid of a little girl.
“Sorry, I said I would be responsible, so…”
Tony immediately stood up with a serious face, and a part of the Iron Man suit appeared in the palm of his hand.
Although it is just a spare part, it has a weapon system that is enough to deal with the current situation.
“You have no right to say such things!”
However, before Tony finished speaking, Wang Fugui shouted excitedly, and some of the talisman water in his hand shook out.
“Now that you’ve made up your mind, feed her the drink. I don’t think anyone can stop you.”
Li Hong suddenly spoke, his eyes sweeping over Tony.
What he did not interfere with was Wang Fugui’s decision, but since Wang Fugui had made the decision, how could he let Tony and others stop him?
In fact, Li Hong only selectively respected Wang Fugui’s decision. Although he was invited by Wang Fugui, the patient was not Wang Fugui.
Now that he’s here and the talisman has turned into water, even if Wang Fugui chooses to give up in the end, he will cure this girl.
If the person who was sick was Wang Fugui, Li Hong would respect his opinion.
Hearing what Li Hong said, Mindy smiled brightly, her eyes showing some uncontrollable excitement. Her gaze fell on Tony, and she even hoped that he would take action, so that she could also witness the Taoist priest’s terrifying strength!
She doesn’t think that the Taoist priest can’t beat Iron Man.
Wang Fugui no longer hesitated. He pinched his daughter’s cheeks, his eyes full of love and heartache, and finally made her drink the talisman water.
“Ahem!”
The unconscious girl coughed unconsciously, apparently choking.
At this moment, Li Hong heard the sound of approaching police bells. He turned his head slightly and looked out the window, only to see several police cars parked downstairs.
At this time, Mindy and Li Hong looked at each other and smiled in tacit understanding, knowing that it was time to retreat. This was the case for her and Big Daddy. Whenever the alarm sounded, it meant it was time to leave.
In fact, the alarm bells in Hell’s Kitchen are like this, which will give them enough time to leave.
Chapter 16: Leave Calmly (Old Version)
Mindy quickly walked up to Stephen, startling him and making him give in.
Then Mindy leaped over and pulled the butterfly knife off the wall.
“This talisman for curing illness is three hundred dollars.”
Li Hong did not leave in a hurry, but spoke to Wang Fugui.
“Oh…thank you, Master…”
Wang Fugui came to his senses upon hearing this, and he rummaged through his pockets to take out three hundred US dollars and handed them to Li Hong.
“Master, is this all right? Then she…”
Wang Fugui asked cautiously. He didn’t care about the three hundred yuan, but only cared about his daughter.
“You’ll wake up in a while.”
Li Hong took the money and said calmly that he had observed his daughter’s condition a long time ago, and the glass fragments left in her brain had disappeared.
“That’s good… That’s good…” Wang Fugui nodded listlessly, his eyes never leaving his daughter, hoping that she would wake up in the next second.
After receiving the money, Li Hong planned to leave, but the door was blocked.
“Get out of the way!”
Mindy looked at Tony, Happy and even Stephen who were blocking the door and immediately gave a warning.
“You can leave only if there are no problems after the inspection!”
Stephen said firmly, after all, he had heard the alarm.
“The police are already here, so why not wait a while before leaving?”
Tony said in a deep voice that it was obviously Happy who called the police, so he would naturally not let Li Hong leave at this moment. Even if it was a misunderstanding, he had to go.
Moreover, he had some doubts about Li Hong’s identity. The fact that he could train a little girl to have such skills was a big problem in itself.
When Mindy heard this, her eyes flashed with a dangerous light, and the butterfly knife in her hand was ready to cut them at any time.
“Let me do it.”
Li Hong stopped Mindy, because if she used a knife here, she would probably be wanted soon.
Then he reached into his divination bag and pulled out a few talismans under the vigilant gazes of Happy and the others.
Seeing this, Mindy immediately put away the knife obediently and looked at it with anticipation.
Seeing that it was not the expected gun, Happy was relieved immediately, while Tony raised his eyebrows with a playful look in his eyes, wondering what tricks this guy was trying to perform.
Li Hong casually threw out the talisman, and an invisible force immediately enveloped several people, and the talisman instantly decayed into ashes.
“Let’s go.”
Li Hong spoke softly to Mindy, took the lead and stepped out in front of the few people. He easily pushed Happy, who was blocking the way, aside with one hand, revealing the aisle leading to the outside.
Mindy’s eyes were full of stars and a smile on her lips. She stretched out her finger and pushed Happy and Tony, but the other party did not react at all, and did not even try to stop her. Their eyes were just full of horror.
He even raised his hand high and waved a butterfly knife in front of Tony, which could accidentally cut a bloody mark on his face, but the other party still did not react.
Mingdy immediately became even more proud, but she knew when to quit. She quickly put away the butterfly knife and put it in her pocket, then quickly followed Li Hong who had already walked out the door.
The two men strolled past the policemen who were hurrying up the stairs, and they had no idea that these two men were their targets.
“Master, what kind of talisman is that?” Mindy asked curiously.
“Immobilization talisman.”
“Can you teach me how to draw talismans?”
“I only teach apprentices.”
“Then can you accept me as your apprentice?”
While chatting casually, Li Hong and his friends left the hospital and hailed a taxi to leave.
When a group of police officers broke into the ward where Wang Fugui was, they saw several people in the room standing still and there was no response even when they shouted. Only then did they realize that something had happened!
Wang Fugui was not immobilized by the talisman, and there were only a few of them in the room, so he was naturally arrested as a suspect.
When he was controlled, his eyes never left his daughter. He saw with his own eyes that his daughter’s eyelids moved. Then, in front of everyone, the girl sat up, rubbed her eyes, as if she had just woken up, and asked with a puzzled look on her face.
“Dad, where is this?”
Li Hong and Mingdi returned to Chinatown. After such a delay, it was already dusk when they returned to Chinatown.
But he still bought a lot of things, including materials for making talismans and medicinal ingredients for refining elixirs.
He spent about 20,000 of the 30,000 US dollars he got from the stick man.
Then the two people, one big and one small, returned to Hell’s Kitchen carrying the full loads of things.
But by this time the sky had already darkened, and the dim street lights didn’t seem to provide much illumination.
Who knows how many hounds are hiding in the quiet streets, waiting to keep an eye on them and ready to pounce at any moment.
But Li Hong walked forward with a calm expression. Although Mingdy was a little wary, she thought that there would be no problem following the Taoist priest.
At this moment, several figures sneaked towards Li Hong and his group in the dark, obviously holding something in their hands.
Before they could get close, a gunshot rang out on the silent street, the muzzle flash very obvious in the darkness.
“Get lost!”
An angry roar went towards the figures, which immediately frightened them and they fled desperately in shame.
Then this figure quickly walked towards Li Hong.
The person who came was a man wearing glasses and looked somewhat gentle, and his temperament was somewhat out of place here.
“Dad!”
Mindy immediately rushed over and said in surprise.
Then Mindy was taken away by his father.
Li Hong carried a lot of things back to the office alone, but didn’t encounter anything on the way.
There was no movement at the law firm next door, so it seemed that Matt and the others were probably already using his spell.
Once the door is closed, the world is cut off.
Li Hong first refined the demonic power into Demon Yuan Dan and sealed it in a newly bought porcelain bottle.
Then he refined all the herbs he had just bought into black pills and put them all into another porcelain bottle.
You can put this porcelain bottle on the cabinet without having to worry about losing it.
He planned to sell these pills. If someone bought them, they were just ordinary pills, and he could make as many pills as he had medicinal materials.
After selling them, he can buy more medicine and make more pills, so his firm will earn a lot of money.
And a mere Fan Dan, just like the talisman he casually drew, would not waste any time.
After doing all this, he sat on the cushion, swallowed the magic pill he had just made, closed his eyes and began to practice.
The next day came quickly, and today Mindy was a little slower than usual.
“My dad is the only one who wants to stop me from coming out. How naive!”
Mindy stuck out her tongue and made a face, and proudly described to Li Hong the heroic scene of her escape from the obstacles set up by Big Daddy.
“Master, when did you start making pills?”
Mindy asked curiously. She also wanted to see how Li Hong made the elixir and whether it was really like the mythological novels she had collected in the past few days.
“It’s already been refined.”
Li Hong said casually while looking at his phone.
He is not someone who doesn’t even use a mobile phone. In his previous life, he learned about the world through mobile phones.
Precisely because we seldom go out, it is even more necessary to use a mobile phone; otherwise, we will inevitably become out of touch with reality over time.
And now he is reading the news to make sure he is not on the wanted list.
Although it’s not a big deal, you’ll have to cover it up a little when you go out in the future.
“ah?”
Mindy said with a hint of regret, feeling like something was wrong.
“Can the elixir that the Taoist priest refines really make one immortal? I heard that some elixirs can keep one’s youthful appearance. Is that true?”
Mingdy came up to Li Hong and asked curiously, blinking her big eyes.
“I don’t have any elixir of immortality, but the elixir you mentioned does exist.”
“Ah, then Taoist priest, can you refine it?”
Mindy was surprised. Even though she was a little girl, she had reached the age where she was vain and usually played with guns and knives, but that didn’t mean she wasn’t interested in these things.
Li Hong briefly said that the elixir of life is difficult to make, mainly because of the medicinal materials.
However, the elixir that can keep one’s face young is easy to make. After all, it is just a layer of skin that maintains the appearance. It is not real immortality, it is just an illusion, and it is not difficult.
“Of course, that’s what it would be like if you ate it all your life.”
Li Hong knew what Mindy would say next and threatened her immediately.
This sentence immediately scared Mindy away, but she didn’t give up.
“Then when I grow up, Taoist priest, please make me such a pill. I can pay for it.”
“We’ll talk about it when the time comes.”
“What kind of elixir does the Taoist priest make?”
Mindy then became curious again. She saw Li Hong pointing at a porcelain bottle on the cabinet nearby. She rushed over and took it carefully in her hand.
Knowing that since the Taoist priest was willing to show it to her, he must have agreed to let her take a look.
When I opened the lid, I saw dozens of black pills inside. Each pill was only the size of a mung bean. There was nothing special about them, and even the smell was a bit pungent.
“What’s the use of this?”
Mindy was curious about the effects of the pill.
“It can enhance physical fitness, one pill costs 10,000 yuan.”
Li Hong spoke in a language that Mindy could understand.
It was originally intended for sale, so this time he divided it into many pills. If he wanted to eat it himself, he only needed to refine one.
And each pill is roughly equivalent to the cost of five hundred medicinal materials.
“Then isn’t this worth hundreds of thousands?”
Mindy said, a little surprised.
“That’s right, if it can be sold.”
“It’s expensive.”
Mindy couldn’t help but stick out her tongue. She originally wanted to buy one to try the effect, but after hearing the price, she backed off because she didn’t have that much money.
“Master, how is the effect?”
Mindy asked, still unwilling to give up.
“After eating forty of them, I should be able to fight Captain America.”
Li Hong thought about it. Although he had never seen Captain America, he could roughly guess his specific physical fitness.
It has indeed surpassed the limits of the human body.
But this is the elixir he made, so it’s not surprising that it has reached Captain America’s level.
Chapter 17 Big Order (Old Version)
After all, no matter how strong Captain America is, he cannot be compared with a real cultivator who practices physical cultivation.
It is not surprising that a true body cultivator would move mountains and fill the sea. However, simply surpassing the limits of the human body is too easy for Li Hong.
Of course, he had never met Captain America, so to be on the safe side he didn’t say anything definite.
With Captain America’s ability, anyone can actually fight him, and the 50-50 odds are no joke.
He likes to try a few moves against the weak first, and he likes to try his best to block a few moves against the strong.
If someone really bought his pills and lost to Captain America in a fistfight, that would be a problem with the weapons.
When Mindy heard this, she opened her mouth in surprise. She knew Captain America, because that was an antique in the museum.
She remembered that when Big Daddy took her to visit the museum, he said that Captain America’s physical fitness was absolutely strong and he was already ahead of all humans.
Mindy’s expression changed, and her little hands couldn’t help but clench the porcelain bottle. If it came to that, it wouldn’t be easy for her to take revenge.
His face suddenly darkened, revealing a rare seriousness.
“Master, can I make a reservation in advance? Just give me some time.”
Mindy made an OK gesture with her little hand and asked nervously, as if she was afraid that Li Hong would refuse her and also worried that it would be bought by someone else before she went to raise funds.
After receiving Li Hong’s affirmative answer, Mingdy immediately breathed a sigh of relief and smiled brightly.
“Thank you, Taoist priest! I can bring the money today!”
Mindy said excitedly, then left in a hurry, apparently to get the money.
Li Hong didn’t take it seriously and continued browsing his phone.
Although this medicine is put here for sale, not everyone can buy it.
Otherwise, all the evil done outside will be blamed on him.
Although we are bound to be affected by cause and effect in this world, we should also avoid the bad consequences.
It was already afternoon and Mindy hadn’t shown up yet, but Matt showed up instead.
He walked in a hurry and didn’t even go back to his own office, but came to Li Hong first.
“Master, these are the used talismans, a total of thirty-eight.”
Matt was carrying a bag and putting it on his desk. He had an irrepressible smile on his face and looked quite pleased with himself. It seemed that he had made a good harvest last night.
“Master, these spells of yours are so useful!
Last night, hundreds of Hand-to-Hand Ninjas were attracted, and in the middle of the fight, they suddenly showed these talismans, and all of them were sealed.
The other side lost so many people all of a sudden, the situation turned around, and they easily won a great victory!”
Matt happily explained to Li Hong what happened last night.
Of course, not all Hand ninjas are possessed by demonic power, only a small half.
Once the sealing talisman appeared, there was no need to fight anymore, and more than 30 people from the other side were killed.
The remaining ninjas were all defeated and detained by the Shinjunkai ninjas led by Gunso, but they were not killed.
Li Hong didn’t care. The other party’s non-killing policy had nothing to do with him. As long as the demonic power was delivered as it was, it would be fine.
However, Li Hong also learned some information from Matt.
The reason why the Hand sent so many ninjas to New York was probably because of Li Hong.
The order given to them by the Hand is to find someone who is hostile to them and possesses special powers.
Unfortunately, the ninjas they captured were just ordinary guys and they didn’t know any more information.
“Don’t worry, Taoist priest, this matter will not implicate you.”
Matt then assured them solemnly that after the battle last night, the Hand would probably react soon and would know about the talisman. After all, not all Hand ninjas were left behind by them.
“But we need more spells. We need two hundred this time. We are sure we can keep them all in New York if they dare to come!”
Matt said with great enthusiasm, after fighting the Hand for so many years, this was the first time he achieved such a huge result.
“Okay, come pick it up tomorrow morning.”
Hearing this, Li Hong immediately became interested and agreed.
After Matt left, Li Hong’s eyes fell on the bag full of sealing talismans on the table.
He casually opened the lid of the glass tripod, and an invisible force spread out with the glass tripod as the center.
The next moment, many densely packed black and purple fluorescent lights came out of the bag, forming a thin belt and drilling into the glass tripod in an orderly manner.
When the lid is closed, a clear sound is heard.
A scarlet fire lotus emerged and wrapped around the bottom of the glass tripod.
Li Hong started refining the elixir without even closing the door of the office.
At this moment, in a certain dimension, the demon seemed to have sensed something, stood up angrily, and began to roar in this dark and twisted space.
Compared to last time, the power lost this time was even greater, and it was no longer a level he could tolerate.
“I can lend you my strength! Catch him for me, I want to eat him alive!”
The devil roared, and said something inexplicably to the person in front of him. Then, a steady stream of black mist gushed out of his body, pouring in one direction, as if penetrating through space and reaching somewhere.
As for Li Hong at the moment, he still didn’t know what had happened, and of course he wouldn’t care even if he knew.
It took about ten minutes for the alchemy furnace to produce the elixir again. The lid of the cauldron flew off with a bang, revealing the elixir inside.
This time the pill is obviously bigger than the last time.
Li Hong couldn’t wait to take out the pill, and the lid of the cauldron fell down immediately, fitting perfectly onto the body of the cauldron.
He returned to the inner room of the office, sat on the cushion, swallowed the Demon Yuan Pill, and began to practice.
This time there are more than thirty doses of Demon Yuan Pills, and the medicinal effect is more obvious.
But in the world inside Li Hong’s body, it is still very small.
The huge medicinal power was instantly divided up by the internal organs, and then it started to explode and transformed into a huge amount of true energy.
This time, the Demon Yuan Pill saved Li Hong more than a month of hard training.
It may not seem like much, but it is actually quite a lot.
You must know that Li Hong’s cultivation speed is not comparable to that of ordinary people.
The results of more than a month of practice allowed him to reach a new level.
The previous realm can be regarded as Qi training, and only after entering the innate realm can one begin to practice Taoism.
The first step in cultivating immortals is to practice Qi, use the innate Qi to feed back into the physical body and transcend the levels of life.
Now that Li Hong has refined the Demon Yuan Pill, he has taken a step into the foundation-building stage.
Only after the foundation has been built can we take the next step.
Of course, in Li Hong’s view, he is still a mortal, but he can use more magic power.
He immediately stood up and did not continue practicing.
It was almost dusk. He could have prepared to close the shop, but thinking of Mindy’s words, he did not get up.
When it was completely dark, Mindy appeared hurriedly, panting, carrying a big bag on his back, and his body was stained with blood.
“Master, I’m here!”
Mindy greeted him, sat down on a chair to rest, and casually placed the gun in his hand on the table.
It seems that this trip is not easy, but it is obvious that others are the ones who suffer.
“I’m sorry, Master, I’m late.
My dad didn’t believe me and refused to let me come, so I secretly broke into his safe and waited until he let down his guard before running out. “
Mindy apologized somewhat embarrassedly. It was obvious that the Taoist priest had not even closed the shop in order to wait for her.
“fine.”
Li Hong didn’t care. His eyes swept past Mindy and glanced at the door. He could sense that Mindy’s big daddy was hiding outside the door at the moment, but he had no intention of coming in.
He then stretched out a finger and tapped Mindy in the air, and the bloodstains on her clothes slowly melted away.
“It’s amazing!”
Seeing this, Mingdy couldn’t help but exclaimed. This was the first time she saw the Taoist priest do this without using talismans. It turned out that the Taoist priest was very well hidden.
After Mingdy had caught her breath, she stood up again, took off the big bag on her back, and placed it on the table.
The zipper opened with a click, revealing stacks of banknotes filling the entire backpack.
“This is 400,000. Would you like to count it, Taoist Priest?”
“Yeah, I counted it, no problem.”
Li Hong naturally didn’t count them one by one. He just took a quick glance and had an idea of the number in his mind.
“The pill is yours.”
Li Hong said immediately.
Mindy immediately cheered and stood up, quickly walked to the cabinet, took the porcelain bottle in her hand, her face very excited.
“If you are taking this pill yourself, it is best to take one pill a day.
If it’s your dad, you can take two pills a day.”
Li Hong immediately reminded that although the toxicity of the elixir had been reduced to the lowest level under his alchemy, it was still a little toxic to ordinary people.
If you eat too much at once, you may get diarrhea.
“Okay, thank you, Taoist Priest. I’ll be leaving now!”
With the elixir in hand, how could Mingdy remember the Taoist priest? She waved her hand absentmindedly and said goodbye to Li Hong before leaving quickly.
Li Hong watched Mindy leave and even forgot to take the gun. He shook his head and casually put the gun into the drawer.
With her father following behind her, he was not worried about Mindy’s safety.
The next morning, Matt showed up on time, left 60,000 yuan, and took away 200 sealing talismans.
Li Hong’s savings suddenly reached nearly 500,000.
He simply bought some new herbs and made pills and continued to sell them on the counter, but he did not touch most of the money.
Initially, he was planning to use the money to buy medicinal materials to refine some pills to assist in cultivation, but now that he has the Demon Yuan Pill, this idea has been temporarily shelved.
In the end, he decided to continue saving money so that he could buy a house when he had enough.
He had this idea when he first came down from the Taoist temple, and was prepared to work hard to make money, but was caught off guard. However, it is also possible to buy a house in this world.
Chapter 18: Blocked (Old Version)
“How’s the interrogation going?”
In a secret base of the Shinjunkai, the old man with a stick sat high up in the main seat and asked the ninjas under his command.
“One new question: before this large-scale relocation, the Hand had already shifted its focus to New York.
They were looking for something here.”
When the old man with the stick heard this, his face changed slightly, his body became straighter, and his expression was serious and heavy.
Anything that is worth the Hand spending a lot of manpower to find must be extremely important.
The old man with the stick has been dealing with the Shura Society for many years and he also used to be in the Shura Society, so he is not unaware of some of its secrets.
The Hand has five leaders, and these five looked older than him when he was young.
They have met and had conflicts more or less over the years, but those people don’t show any signs of aging.
Even now, they look younger than him, and time seems to have left no trace on them.
At first, Gunsou thought that this was a change brought about by the Devil Beast they believed in, but after getting to know them for a long time, he found that they were completely at the opposite end of the spectrum from the ninjas who had obtained the power of Devil Beast.
Those ninjas who gained the power of Demon Beast had almost no humanity and bravely went to their deaths without any hesitation.
But those leaders were the opposite. They valued their lives more than anyone else and were more humane.
The old man with the stick had long suspected that their immortality was independent of the power of demons.
“Keep asking! You must find out what the Hand is looking for!”
The old man with the stick’s expression changed and he gave the order in a cold voice.
“yes!”
Several ninjas replied respectfully.
A few days passed in the blink of an eye, and she had not appeared in the office since she sold the pills to Mindy last time.
However, I often receive messages from Mindy on my mobile phone. She just says that she is very busy these days and will come back in a few days.
But daily greetings are never lacking.
Li Hong’s life returned to its previous peace.
Although he had some money saved, he had no business in the past few days, so Li Hong took the initiative to come out today to take on some work and earn some money.
However, this time when he came to Chinatown, he received many greetings, and many strangers greeted him enthusiastically.
After a little questioning, he found out that it was Wang Fugui who spread his deeds and exaggerated them, saying that he was some immortal who predicted his misfortune and saved his daughter who even the best doctor in New York couldn’t save, all with just a bowl of magic water.
Of course, it is exaggerated like this, but not many people believe it. Most people just hold a skeptical attitude, but they still have the necessary enthusiasm, just in case it is really a great master.
There are some benefits to having a reputation. For example, he took an order for a business opening ceremony in the morning and earned $1,000 for two hours of work.
But other than that, nothing else.
Li Hong continued to stroll around Chinatown, wondering whether he should open a store here.
But after thinking about it, he gave up, after all, he had no identity.
Although it was not difficult to deal with those police officers, it was still troublesome to keep dealing with them.
“It’s you!”
Just as Li Hong was walking by, a voice suddenly rang out, and then a hand grabbed him rudely.
Faced with the sudden change, Li Hong slightly turned his body and dodged it calmly.
Looking at the person who attacked him, it was Stephen Strange, but he looked different from a few days ago.
His messy hair made him look like a homeless person on the street. He had dark circles under his eyes from having stayed up all night for who knows how long. His face was filled with fatigue and his eyes showed forced excitement.
“Tell me! How did you do it? How did you manage to use a bowl of magic water to complete a difficult operation that even I couldn’t guarantee would be successful!
If simply drawing words that others cannot understand on paper with a pen can be equivalent to a medical practitioner’s decades of hard study, then what are we!
No, you did even better than me!
Tell me how you did it!”
Stephen’s face flushed unusually, and he questioned Li Hong like a madman, with pain and confusion hidden deep in his eyes.
Yes, ever since the time of the immobilization talisman came and it was naturally released that day, Stephen didn’t care about anything else. Instead, he went crazy and left the police officer in charge of the inquiry and ran to examine Wang Fugui’s daughter.
Even though other doctors in the hospital had done the tests and slammed the results in his face, he still couldn’t believe it.
In the end, I paid for the girl’s examination out of my own pocket, and the results were naturally no different from the examination record.
The patient recovered well. The glass fragments in his head disappeared without a trace, and even his brain nerves were not damaged.
If it weren’t for the records of multiple previous examinations, the doctors at the hospital would have even thought that this was a complete misdiagnosis, and that perhaps there had never been any glass fragments in the girl’s brain from the beginning.
Unfortunately, the girl underwent multiple examinations after being admitted to the hospital and there was no possibility of misdiagnosis.
Other doctors were delighted to hear this and regarded it as a miracle from God and talked about it from time to time.
However, after hearing their seemingly casual chat, Stephen suddenly questioned them angrily.
“Don’t you have any sense of shame?
Don’t you feel ashamed that someone has used such an absurd method to cure a problem that you fools have been unable to solve in your lifetime? “
At this moment, Stephen went crazy. His heart was broken and he smashed everything in the office.
He considered himself a genius and was more hardworking than anyone else. While others were dating in college, he was studying medical cases. While others were having sex, he was writing cutting-edge papers all night long.
The effort he put in was definitely far greater than that of his peers, but all these years of hard work were not worth a bowl of talisman water. How ridiculous!
So his faith was broken. Perhaps it was because he worked harder than anyone else that he was unable to accept it as calmly as others.
He ran home, got drunk, and missed his scheduled surgery the next day and the day after that. Plus, he smashed up the office, so he was fired.
In a short period of time, he went from being the best young doctor to an unemployed vagrant.
One day, after waking up from a hangover, he decided to find Li Hong to ask for clarification. After some inquiries, he appeared here. Since he didn’t meet Li Hong, he simply slept on the street.
After angrily questioning Li Hong, Stephen rolled his eyes and his body collapsed.
Li Hong slightly turned sideways and let Stephen fall to the ground.
He had already seen what Stephen had been through and shook his head, thinking that the young man’s state of mind was too fragile.
Fainting is not a big problem at the moment. On the one hand, it is due to lack of sleep, and on the other hand, it is due to anger.
But this matter was inseparable from him, so Li Hong stretched out his hand, easily pulled Stephen up, and put him in a remote corner facing the strange looks of others.
Suddenly Li Hong seemed to sense something and turned his head slightly. He saw a bald woman in a yellow robe standing in the rushing crowd and smiling at him. She had a very unique temperament and it seemed as if the world had lost its color as she stood there.
The next moment, the other party disappeared, as if he had never been there.
Li Hong knew that the other party was greeting him and was not coming to see him. Her target was Stephen on the ground.
Ancient One…
Li Hong’s eyes flashed. Is this the Supreme Mage? Just a glance at him told him that he was indeed not simple.
To some extent, he has already achieved the level of integration into heaven and earth, and every move he makes can affect the origin of heaven and earth.
Although the other party possesses magic, all magic has the same end result. A random move of this level can affect the world.
In this world, he is already considered an immortal.
Li Hong retracted his gaze and turned to look at Stephen who was still unconscious on the ground, feeling that there was something wrong.
But he had to admit that this incident was caused by him. Although he was not to blame, once there was cause and effect, it needed to be resolved. This was a common practice in the world.
Then he took out a talisman from the divination bag, held the talisman between two fingers and stretched out. The talisman immediately stuck to Stephen’s chest and was firmly stuck as if it was covered with glue.
This turned out to be a calming talisman that could alleviate Steve’s current condition and prevent him from going completely crazy.
Then he took out a business card from his fortune-telling bag, which had an address written on it.
With a flick of his finger, the card fell directly into Stephen’s chest pocket.
As for whether he can find this card, it depends on fate.
After doing all this, Li Hong left immediately, no longer caring about Stephen’s life or death. Just leaving him here, there shouldn’t be any problem.
Then I left Chinatown and walked towards Hell’s Kitchen, but I felt that it might not be a good day to go out.
However, as soon as I walked out of Chinatown, I felt a distinct sense of being watched.
Li Hong’s head turned and his eyes quickly locked onto a camera on a traffic light pole.
Someone is spying on him with this camera.
Li Hong didn’t destroy the camera directly. He just took a look at it and didn’t pay much attention to it. He continued walking towards Hell’s Kitchen.
However, not long after, the crowd around suddenly became noisy and looked up at the sky.
Li Hong also looked over and saw a golden-red steel armor falling towards here quickly.
Li Hong just thought that this was also looking for him, his expression remained unchanged, but he suddenly changed direction and walked towards an alley on the street.
Sure enough, Iron Man soon landed where Li Hong had originally stood and looked towards the street.
However, the street was a dead end, with nothing in it except garbage.
“Jarvis, where are the people?”
Tony retracted his visor, a little stunned, and then asked about artificial intelligence.
“Sorry sir, the other party has disappeared.” Jarvis’ voice sounded, with a distinct mechanical feel.
The disappearance that Jarvis mentioned did not just mean that the other party was not in this alley, but that there was no trace of Li Hong on any of the connected surveillance networks.
Chapter 19: Recruiting a Disciple (Old Version)
“Damn, you’re running so fast!”
Tony couldn’t help but said depressedly.
He seemed to have been quiet these days, but in fact he had been searching for information about Li Hong ever since the immobilization talisman lost its effect.
It’s not that he holds a grudge, but he is very curious about the other party’s power system. This is an area he has never touched before and is obviously not within the scope of science.
He was curious why a drawing with messy drawings on it could remove the glass fragments in the girl’s brain. It was simply a medical miracle.
I was even more curious as to why a piece of yellow paper that looked like it was made of random materials could keep him standing there for an hour.
If the enemy used these on him, he would probably just let them slaughter him.
Of course he had experimented privately, analyzing the same paper source, the same paint, and the complex symbols that had been restored 100%, and he had forcibly created a talisman that looked exactly the same. Unfortunately, it was of no use at all.
Just from the information collected by Jarvis, we know that this person is very mysterious.
Jarvis even hacked into official databases in various places but couldn’t find any identity information of this person. It was like someone who appeared out of nowhere.
However, it was not a complete failure. By checking the surveillance footage, they found Li Hong in Chinatown and followed the surveillance footage to find out that he was hiding in Hell’s Kitchen.
But just knowing this was useless, even he couldn’t easily find out Li Hong’s specific address in Hell’s Kitchen.
It’s just because Hell’s Kitchen is a special place. There is no surveillance, even public ones.
It’s not that it’s not installed, it’s just that once installed the monitoring will be damaged within a minute, without exception.
This is the special feature of Hell’s Kitchen. Even Tony doesn’t want to enter such a place.
So he came here to wait for the other party to come, but he still let the other party escape under his nose. He didn’t know what means they used. There was not even a sewer here.
He fell from the sky, so how could he not see Li Hong if he climbed over the wall and left?
Could it be that the other party has the ability to pass through walls?
Although he failed, Tony’s interest became stronger.
In Hell’s Kitchen, Li Hong walked safely on the deserted street. He had just used the skill of shrinking the ground into an inch.
The price is acceptable for him as his realm has improved a little.
The next day, Stephen came to the door again.
Compared to the messy look yesterday, it looked like he had cleaned up today.
His beard was shaved cleanly, his hair was obviously washed, his clothes were new, he even had perfume on him, and an expensive watch was inadvertently revealed on his wrist.
It looks like attending some socialite party or something.
Stephen sat upright opposite Li Hong, his eyes firm and calm, not as crazy as he was yesterday.
“Can you tell me what that power is?”
Stephen said in a deep voice.
“I think you should have understood it, but you just don’t want to believe it.”
Li Hong said lightly, probably guessing that the other party must have searched for a lot of information.
Considering his identity as a Taoist priest, it is not difficult to find the information he needs.
Stephen was silent for a moment, as if trying to accept this fact.
“Can spells really cure all diseases?”
After a while, Stephen looked up at Li Hong’s clear and bright eyes and asked in a deep voice.
After asking this question, my heart tightened, as if I was praying and expecting something, or rather, I would rather hear a negative answer.
Li Hong’s words once again shattered Stephen’s useless expectations. He watched Stephen’s expression change and admired him calmly.
Ordinary spells might not be able to do it, but he can.
So it’s equivalent to a talisman.
This time, Stephen’s ability to accept seemed a little poor. It took him more than ten minutes to look at Li Hong again.
He took a deep breath, stood up from the chair, walked to the empty aisle, bent his legs and knelt down.
His forehead touched the ground with a dull thud, and he didn’t raise his head, but just spoke loudly.
“Please accept me as your disciple!”
Li Hong was not surprised by Stephen’s actions. In fact, he had expected it and did not stop him directly.
“You are not the only one who wants to be my disciple.”
“I can guarantee that I am the hardest working one.”
Stephen raised his head and looked at Li Hong with determination in his eyes.
“I can take care of you until the end of your life, work like a slave for you, and serve you all my life.”
Stephen then said with a serious expression.
Before coming here, he had considered becoming a disciple, and also searched for the etiquette and requirements of becoming a disciple.
The requirements can be said to be very strict, but “once a teacher, always a father” is not just a slogan.
But in order to be different from his colleagues in the hospital who were mediocre and who, when faced with a difficult case, would just throw up their hands and tell the patient’s family that they had tried their best and just pretend nothing happened, Stephen still came.
Li Hong didn’t say anything, but he was really thinking about it.
The difference between Stephen and Mindy is that he has talent, which can be seen at a glance.
If he had the knowledge of the universe, Mindy could only fill a bucket, but Stephen could fill a swimming pool.
If you work harder, you can actually learn some of his skills.
Don’t underestimate this talent, it may be among the best on the entire planet.
Now that Stephen has both a rare talent and a karmic connection with him, it is not impossible to accept it. After all, preaching is not something that requires stinginess.
When you meet someone with talent and a decent character, you can pass on the teachings. You should also pay attention to fate. Only in this way can the teachings be passed on. If you keep something to yourself, the true teachings will be lost.
only
However, Stephen is the future designated successor and disciple of Ancient One.
It’s not that he needs to give face to Ancient One, but he is not to the extent of stealing other people’s disciples, nor is he an unparalleled genius.
“I can teach you, but I will only accept you as a registered disciple. How much you can learn depends on your ability.
When fate is over, it’s time for you to leave.”
Li Hong said casually that it was just a small matter for him.
As the name suggests, a nominal disciple is a disciple who is taught by name.
“Thank you, Master!”
Stephen looked a little excited. Although he didn’t know the specific meaning of being a registered disciple, he could tell that Li Hong was willing to teach him, and that was enough.
He was about to kowtow to Li Hong several times, but before his head touched the ground, he felt a strange force pulling him up.
“You are wrong, teacher. There is no need for these red tapes in the future.”
Li Hong corrected him immediately, saying that if it was a real disciple, he could spend energy thinking of some miscellaneous things to test him before accepting him, but it was not necessary for a registered disciple.
“You go back first. You will be officially initiated tomorrow.”
Li Hong gave a casual order, drove the somewhat excited Stephen away, and handed him a talisman as a gift for becoming his apprentice.
It was actually an amulet.
Li Hong was mainly worried that Stephen wouldn’t be able to walk out of Hell’s Kitchen in this state, and that there would be a dead body waiting for him tomorrow.
After watching Stephen leave in a hurry, Li Hong retracted his gaze and started checking his phone.
“Thank you, fellow Taoist.”
Suddenly a voice appeared softly.
Li Hong seemed to sense something and looked in one direction, as if he was looking at the woman in yellow robe across layers of distance.
“No problem.”
Li Hong knew what Gu Yi was thanking him for and said indifferently.
The next day Stephen came to the house and brought a set of Taoist robes from somewhere. They were purple in color and even Li Hong was amused and confused.
If I didn’t know, I would have thought that this registered disciple wanted to usurp the throne on his first day.
Stephen was embarrassed when he realized that he had made a joke. He quickly took off his Taoist robe and was left with only his ordinary clothes.
“Just wear your normal clothes.”
Li Hong couldn’t help but say upon seeing this.
Stephen immediately said respectfully, standing straight. Even though Li Hong looked younger than him, he did not dare to underestimate him.
As a first lesson, Li Hong asked Stephen to buy some Taoist books to learn some common sense.
He didn’t have the time to explain everything to Stephen one by one.
Since then, there is one more seat in the office.
Stephen got a set of tea set from somewhere, and every day he would sit at his desk, reading a book while serving tea to Li Hong.
A few days passed in a blink of an eye. When Mindy reappeared in the office that day and looked at the scene in front of her, she felt like the sky had fallen. However, within a few days, her home was robbed.
“Liar, didn’t you say you didn’t accept any apprentices?”
Mingdy’s eyes turned red and her mouth turned down, as if she was about to cry at any time. She stood in front of Li Hong and questioned him like an abandoned wife.
“I just said I won’t accept it for now.”
Li Hong held the teacup and said while drinking hot tea.
“So you’re collecting it now?”
Mingdy immediately looked at Li Hong hopefully and asked.
“Well, no.”
“fraud!”
Hearing Li Hong’s answer, Mingdy puffed up her lips, her eyes became misty, and she was about to cry.
“He is just a nominal disciple.”
Li Hong said helplessly.
“Teacher, please have some tea.”
At this moment, Stephen respectfully picked up the teacup and placed it in front of Li Hong, looking at Mindy intentionally or unintentionally, with a hint of pride in his eyes.
He didn’t expect that Mingdy, who was with Li Hong at the beginning, had nothing to do with Li Hong. Instead, he is closer to Li Hong now.
He couldn’t help but remember the scene when the butterfly knife slashed across his face.
The crying expression on Mindy’s face disappeared instantly. She looked at Stephen with anger. Seeing his innocent look, she was so angry that she almost took out a butterfly knife and drilled a bloody hole in his body.
Chapter 20: Capsize (Old Version)
Li Hong looked at the two people quarreling and suddenly felt that this registered disciple was not in vain, as he immediately attracted the hatred.
At the same time, his eyes fell on Mindy, and his eyes flashed.
It was obvious at a glance that there was no trace of medicinal power left on her body, so it seemed that she had not taken any medicine.
The office seems to have a new atmosphere with the addition of Mindy, while Li Hong is happily drinking tea and browsing his phone.
At night, Zhenchun will be in a secret base.
A ninja, whose entire body was covered in a nightgown with only a pair of eyes exposed, hurried in, knelt on one knee in front of the old man with a stick who was sitting high, and respectfully reported.
“Sir, we caught the Hand’s mouthpiece and got the information from him about what the Hand is looking for!”
“What is it?”
When the old man with the stick heard this, he stood up suddenly and asked urgently.
“Dragon bone! And they pried out the location of the dragon bone from the mouth of the tongue. Currently, all the elite members of the Hand are gathered there.”
The old man with the stick’s face suddenly turned red, and he was obviously very excited, and he shouted loudly.
“Good! Well done! Gather all the elite members of the Zhenchun Society and send them all out. We will definitely annihilate the Hand Society completely!”
The ninja immediately received the order and stood up and walked out.
“Teacher, could this be a bait put out by the Hand?”
Matt on the side asked hesitantly, feeling that there must be something fishy going on.
Logically speaking, the prisoners they captured should not know such important information, but now not only do they know it, but they have also interrogated the specific location. There is really something wrong.
“Haha, you don’t understand. Under normal circumstances, this kind of information would never be revealed.
But now, it’s possible.”
The old man with the stick laughed and shook his head at Matt, denying his guess.
“Why is that?” Matt couldn’t help but ask when he saw the old man with the stick was so confident.
“Oh, that means they have lost their composure.
Let me ask you, how many sealing talismans have we used during this period of time?”
“One hundred and one.” Matt blurted out without even thinking, knowing the number by heart.
“Yes, these one hundred and one ninjas are all elite members of the Hand. They are the true foundation of the Hand.
Without these elite troops, how could the Hand resist our attack? That’s why in the previous battles, as long as those with demonic powers were sealed, they were easily defeated and could not withstand a single blow.”
Matt listened carefully, recalling previous battles, and found that it was true.
After the sealing talisman was cast, the remaining ninjas were indeed vulnerable, which was obviously different from the Shuukai they usually dealt with.
“Now that most of the elite members of the Hand are gone, they can only employ middle and lower-level ninjas. If they want them to do things, even the most important information will inevitably leak out. So it’s not unreasonable for us to get this kind of information right now.”
The old man with the stick continued talking and almost convinced Matt.
“And taking a step back, even if this is really a bait put out by the Hand, so what.
They are missing half of their elite troops, while we still have nearly two hundred talismans in our hands. The advantage is on me!
Isn’t this the perfect time to completely destroy the Hand!”
The old man with the stick spoke loudly, with a high-spirited look on his face, as if he had already seen the scene of the destruction of the Shuhe Society.
“It turns out that the teacher has already thought of this. I was worrying too much.”
Matt nodded immediately, and had to say that the teacher’s analysis made sense.
“But teacher, should we give the demonic power we have recovered to Priest Li first?”
Matt remembered something and asked immediately.
Upon hearing this, the old man with the stick’s face darkened slightly.
“Not yet. We no longer need to exchange more sealing talismans with the Taoist priest.”
Matt immediately understood what the old man with the stick meant, which meant that even if they went back on their word, Li Hong would be unable to do anything to them, because Li Hong was no longer of any use to them.
His expression suddenly changed and his voice rose slightly.
“That’s not good. Besides, there’s no loss to us, so why should we break our promise?”
Matt didn’t quite understand, but because the other person was his teacher, he didn’t question him and just asked in a slightly subtle way.
“You don’t understand. In the hands of the Hand, these demonic forces have become pawns in their conspiracy.
If it falls into that person’s hands, how can you ensure that he will not be a future member of the Hand-in-Hand Gang?
If he is open-minded and a righteous person, I can naturally choose to believe him.
But he had never done anything to deal with evil forces like the Hand, and even the sealing talisman cost three hundred per piece.
This isn’t a favor, this is a deal.”
The old man with the stick spoke to Matt earnestly.
“But…” Matt instinctively wanted to refute when he heard this, but was interrupted by the old man with the stick.
“I just want to study the effects of these demonic powers first. I’m not saying I won’t hand them over.
The Taoist priest didn’t say when it must be handed over to him.”
The old man with the stick continued, and even Matt couldn’t refute this.
After thinking about it, Matt closed his mouth.
In a blink of an eye, all the members of the Zhenchun Society had gathered. At a command from the old man with a stick, many figures moved quickly in the darkness, as agile as ghosts.
When Matt and his men rushed into the building mentioned in the intelligence, they found that it was empty and did not look like a stronghold at all.
“Oh no, beware of an ambush!”
Matt’s face changed slightly and he immediately gave a warning.
“Haha, after not seeing you for many years, you are still so impatient.”
At this moment, an old lady in a black dress came out. Her face was old and wrinkled. She was leaning on a scepter in her hand and looked at the old man with a sneer on her face.
“Mrs. Gao!”
The old man with a stick recognized the person directly by her voice. The old woman was one of the five leaders of the Hand when he joined the Hand when he was young, and she is still alive.
“Humph, it seems the trip was not in vain.”
The old man with the stick snorted coldly. Even if there were no dragon bones here, it would be worth the trip as long as Madam Gao was captured.
“You are so arrogant.”
Mrs. Gao shook her head regretfully, raised her scepter and knocked it on the ground, making a dull sound.
Suddenly, a dark shadow flashed by and landed in front of Mrs. Gao.
There were actually three ninjas, and the only eye that was exposed was very ruthless.
“Is this what you rely on?”
When the old man with a stick heard the report from his ninja, he immediately realized that these three people were just ninjas possessed by demonic power, and asked with a sneer.
“Yes, what do you rely on?”
Mrs. Gao smiled slightly and answered truthfully.
“You better watch carefully!”
The old man with the stick shouted loudly, took out a few sealing talismans and threw them towards Mrs. Gao.
The talisman sensed the power of the devil and immediately froze in the air, emitting a faint yellow light that shone on the three ninjas.
The next moment, the three ninjas reacted immediately. A lot of black smoke came out of their bodies and was quickly sucked away under the yellow light.
In the blink of an eye, some black smoke was sucked into the seal.
At first, the sealing talisman accepted all incoming smoke, but as the billowing black smoke merged into it, the talisman fixed in the air actually trembled slightly, as if it had reached its limit.
The next moment, the talisman exploded, and all the black mist that had been gathered before escaped.
The old man with the stick’s face changed instantly. He didn’t expect that the sealing talisman, which had always been reliable, would become ineffective.
He was about to take out more sealing talismans, but just as he did so, one of the ninjas grabbed the hilt of the samurai sword behind him, appeared in front of the old man with a flash, and chopped him down with the sword.
Instantly, blood spurted out, the old man with the stick had a look of horror on his face, and a bloody wound appeared on his chest.
If he hadn’t heard the sound of the blade breaking through the wind and instantly retreated, he would have been killed!
Too fast!
The old man with the stick felt a chill in his heart, this speed was too much. If there were such ninjas in the Shuu-kai, their Shinchunkai would have been destroyed long ago.
“How is that possible?!”
“Oh, of course nothing is impossible.”
Mrs. Gao laughed, and her wrinkled face came together like a chrysanthemum.
The next moment, all three ninjas moved and attacked the ninjas of the Shinjunkai.
The weapons clashed, and the old man with a stick also swung his long stick to fight the enemy. Matt, wearing red armor and holding two sticks, also stepped forward to meet the enemy.
However, the three ninjas were far superior to normal humans in both strength and skill, and were always covered with countless black smoke.
One of them rushed towards the old man with a stick, but the old man barely responded and kept retreating. Matt saw this and stepped forward to help, and only then was he able to barely block the ninja’s attack.
As for the remaining two ninjas, they rushed towards the Shinjunkai ninjas like a tiger rushing into a flock of sheep, and blood splattered at the flash of their swords.
The two of them faced off against dozens of Shinchunkai elites, but it was an overwhelming massacre.
In a blink of an eye, the Kung Fu Zhen Chun Society has lost nearly ten people, and the number is still increasing rapidly.
“Tell me where this spell came from, and I can spare your life.”
Mrs. Gao said with a relaxed look on her face.
“withdraw!”
The old man with the stick’s face darkened and he shouted loudly that these three newly appeared ninjas were really weird. If they continued to stay here, they would probably be doomed.
“Want to leave now? It’s too late!” Mrs. Gao sneered and clapped her hands.
The next moment, many dark shadows appeared all around. They were actually ninjas from the Hand, and they had already surrounded them.
On the quiet street, the figures of the old man with a stick and Matt appeared. Matt was fine as he had special armor to protect himself, but there were still one or two bloodstains that tore through the armor.
As for the old man with the stick, he had many wounds on his body and looked seriously injured.
Obviously they paid a huge price to break through.
However, they did not stop, and there were dark shadows flashing behind them.
Chapter 21 Calculation (Old Version)
In a secret base, Stick Man and Matt temporarily escaped from pursuit and were sprinkling powder on the bloody wound with a medicine bottle to stop the bleeding.
“This time the losses were heavy, and all the advantages we had previously gained were gone.”
The old man with the stick had a gloomy look on his face. He took out a stack of talismans and slammed them on the table.
“Those three people are too strange. The spells can’t do anything to them. We have to go find the Taoist priest for help.”
Matt sighed. Although he thought that it would be difficult for his teacher to shirk responsibility for this problem, it was meaningless to discuss whose problem it was now.
“Someone under my command knows where the Taoist priest lives.”
The old man with the stick’s eyes flickered slightly and he spoke.
Matt’s face suddenly changed and he stood up suddenly.
“How did you know? You and I went alone to hand over the talisman. This is bad. If we reveal the Taoist priest’s position, he will be in danger.
No, we have to go and inform him.”
“Wait!”
At this moment, the old man with a stick suddenly stretched out his hand to stop him.
Matt looked a little confused, so he didn’t know what the teacher was going to say.
“The most urgent and important matter right now is not the Taoist priest’s, but Madam Gao.”
“What do you mean?” Matt asked puzzled.
“After we escaped, Madam Gao left with a group of elite soldiers and headed for a stronghold.
My men followed her and found Alexandra in the stronghold.”
The old man with a stick spoke slowly and reached out to take out a letter.
“He’s here too? No, aren’t we being hunted? How did your men track her?”
Matt was startled and was very surprised to hear the news, because Alexandra was one of the leaders of the Hand and the most mysterious of the five leaders. Her appearance now was really surprising.
But he quickly reacted, realized something was wrong, and began to question.
“The Shinjunkai ninjas are divided into visible ninjas and invisible ninjas. The visible ninjas are following us, and the invisible ninjas are responsible for gathering intelligence.
This time I brought both visible and hidden pieces just in case of any unexpected events.
The hidden agent was not exposed, but secretly followed Madam Gao and passed the letter to her.”
The old man with the stick explained calmly that the Shinjunkai was a ninja organization with strange methods. Although he seemed to be busy escaping with Matt, he had actually issued countless orders in private.
Matt looked at the old man with a face full of shock. As the old man’s disciple, he had no idea about it. But he thought quickly and found something wrong.
“Since there is a hidden player, didn’t they investigate the place beforehand?”
Matt frowned, and now he thought about it, he didn’t believe that his teacher didn’t let the hidden man explore the place just now. If he had explored it, it would be impossible for him not to find that it was a trap.
This sentence immediately silenced the old man.
However, the next words from the old man shocked Matt even more.
“Yes, I knew it was a trap.”
“But that doesn’t mean the news is false. They really found the dragon bones. From the moment I heard about the dragon bones, I was sure!”
The old man with the stick suddenly stood up and said excitedly.
He had been collecting intelligence on the Hand for many years and knew a lot of things that Matt didn’t know. When he heard Dragon Bone’s intelligence, it was like an epiphany, and a lot of fragmented information was integrated in that instant.
The dragon bones are vital information to the Hand.
Mrs. Gao knew that the old man with the stick was suspicious, so in order to lure him into the trap, she deliberately mixed some real information into the intelligence just to make him believe it.
“I knew they had something to rely on to lead us there. I just wanted to pretend to retreat so that my spies could find out their real base. But I didn’t expect that the situation would be beyond my expectations, which led to the death of many brothers.”
The old man with the stick then admitted frankly that although he had no eyes, he seemed to have seen the shock and disbelief on Matt’s face.
But there was one thing that the old man with the stick did not tell Matt: the three ninjas were indeed beyond the old man’s expectations and were too powerful.
So when he was on the run, the old man with a stick secretly issued an order, allowing a ninja from the Shinjunkai to know the whereabouts of Taoist Li.
Judging from the intelligence received, the three ninjas are now rushing towards Li Hong’s residence, which shows that his strategy was successful.
The three most powerful and invincible enemies were lured away, and now there were only a few elite ninjas in the base where Alexandra and Madame Gao were.
And to deal with these elite ninjas, he still has the sealing talisman in his hand and the real elite of the Shinjunkai.
There is no way we can fail in this battle!
“Is the dragon bone really that important? Is it worth sacrificing so many people? Do you want to destroy the Hand? Or is it just the dragon bone?”
Matt had a furious look on his face, and he asked loudly, without caring at all that this was the teacher who raised him. At this moment, he just felt that the person in front of him was too unfamiliar, as if he had never understood him before. He even doubted his teacher’s purpose. Was it really the justice he always talked about?
“You don’t understand, what I want is not the dragon bones, but to block their immortality.
The source of the Hand’s evil is not the ninjas under its command, but the five people who lead the Hand.
Even if all those ninjas were killed, the Hand could still regroup.
Because they have a long lifespan, they have enough time and means to train a new batch of ninjas.
But those five people not only have immortality, but can also be resurrected, and even if they are killed, it cannot be stopped.
Now it seems that the key to all this is the keel!”
The old man with the stick said righteously that everything he did was to practice his justice.
Matt’s expression kept changing, and at this moment he could no longer tell which words were true and which were false.
“Let’s go. This is the best time to destroy the Hand. If we miss this opportunity, our sacrifice will be completely in vain. We don’t know when we will find such an opportunity in the future.”
The old man with the stick clenched the long stick in his hand and invited Matt.
“Since you have a hidden player, it shouldn’t be difficult to notify the Taoist priest.”
However, Matt did not move, but asked.
The old man with the stick did not respond, but remained silent for a while, and this silence made Matt think more.
“You want to use Taoist Li as bait to hold back those three ninjas?”
“Master Li helped us. Without the talisman, our losses would be even greater. Now you are using him like this. What if he can’t handle it?”
“Could it be that you deliberately leaked Taoist Li’s location?”
As Matt was talking, he suddenly realized that the purchase and return of the talisman did not go through the hands of other ninjas. As long as the old man with the stick did not say anything, the other ninjas would not know.
The one responsible for collecting intelligence was Anzi, and the one who was just being hunted was Mingzi. How could Mingzi know the specific location of Taoist Li?
Considering the various behaviors displayed by his teacher, he couldn’t help but suspect that this was something that the old man with the stick leaked out intentionally in order to divert trouble and lure away the three ninjas so as to seize the dragon bone.
“The reason why we didn’t inform Master Li is because we were afraid that Master Li would leave after receiving the news. Then the ninjas from the Hand would return and your plan would fail.
You want to use Li Daochang’s life to buy you some time!”
Matt understood it all, and in the end even his voice trembled with anger.
The old man with the stick was silent for a while. He didn’t expect that his disciple could think of it so quickly. Finally, he could only speak in a deep voice.
“Sacrifice for justice is inevitable.
Besides, he may be fine.”
Matt couldn’t believe that his teacher was such a person.
“I won’t go with you. I will go and inform Taoist Li. If it’s too late, I will use my life to buy you some time, as a way of repaying your kindness in raising me for so many years.”
Matt finally collected his expression, stood up with a blank expression, and held his cane in hand, having made his decision.
The old man with the stick had an inexplicable expression on his face. He looked at his disciple as if he was staring at him. Finally, he sighed softly and left.
Seeing this, Matt also hurried away and headed quickly towards his own office, hoping that everything would be done in time.
Inside the office, Li Hong was sitting on a cushion and meditating.
There was another person in the room, Stephen, who was sitting on the bedding on the floor and reading quietly.
That’s right, he moved in ever since he became Li Hong’s disciple, on the one hand for better study and on the other hand for his own safety.
Going out to Hell’s Kitchen every day is indeed a challenge.
In addition, there was a figure on the only bed in the inner room. It was Mindy. She was lying face down on the bed in pajamas, her head supported by her palms, her bare feet swinging, and she was staring at Li Hong with boredom.
After learning that Stephen not only became Li Hong’s disciple but also moved in, Mindy insisted on staying.
Only Li Hong didn’t need to sleep, and Stephen slept on the floor, so Mindy had a place.
As for whether her big daddy has any objection.
According to Mindy, her Big Daddy doesn’t go home at all now. He is always out looking for information about his enemies, so he can’t control her at all.
Just when Mingdy was feeling slightly sleepy and had her eyes half closed, Li Hong suddenly opened his eyes, as if sensing something, and looked towards the door to the inner room.
“What’s wrong, teacher?”
Stephen saw this, put down the book in his hand and asked.
Bang bang bang!
Suddenly, there was a hurried knock on the door, waking up the sleepy Mindy.
Under Stephen’s astonished eyes, she quickly took out a pistol from under the pillow, loaded it directly, jumped down with excitement, and stepped on Stephen’s mat.
“It’s finally here, get out of the way of this useless person!”
Mindy looked at Stephen with contempt. She wanted to prove that the Taoist priest had made a mistake in accepting a disciple and that she was countless times more useful than Stephen.
In a place like Hell’s Kitchen, if someone knocks on your door in the middle of the night, you know without a doubt that it’s not a good thing.
Chapter 22: A Strong Enemy Arrives (Old Version)
“Need not.”
Li Hong supported himself with one foot, stood up from the mat and stopped Mingdy.
Then he walked out of the room and went to the outer room.
But Mindy did not put away the gun when he saw this. Instead, he raised the muzzle slightly and stared at the door.
Stephen’s eyes turned and he picked up a wooden chair. Although he was shocked that Mindy actually had a gun hidden, now was not the time to discuss this.
“Master, it’s me!”
Then a voice was heard outside the door, and Mindy immediately pursed her lips and put away the gun in disappointment.
Li Hong opened the door and saw Matt, wearing red armor and a pointed mask, standing outside the door, breathing heavily.
“Master, hurry up! The Hand’s ninjas are coming!”
Matt said eagerly as he heard the door open.
“Hey! This is Lawyer Matt, so you’re the Daredevil from Hell’s Kitchen!”
Mindy’s eyes lit up and she immediately recognized this outfit that was quite famous in Hell’s Kitchen. She walked quickly forward and observed it carefully.
“Mindy is here too! The Taoist priest should take everyone away quickly. There is no time to explain. Even the sealing talisman cannot deal with those three ninjas.”
Matt was slightly startled when he heard Mindy’s voice, his face became even worse, and he continued to urge her.
“No need, the people are already here.”
Li Hong shook his head, already sensing several auras approaching quickly.
Matt’s face changed instantly when he heard this. He was afraid that not only Master Li was killed, but also the little girl Mindy. His heart was filled with guilt.
“Come in first.”
Li Hong said calmly, make way.
Matt had no choice but to obey.
However, Matt just walked in, Mindy’s face changed slightly, and she immediately reminded him.
“careful!”
A ninja emitting black energy appeared behind Matt, stabbing towards Matt’s kidney with a sharp samurai sword.
Matt turned back suddenly when he heard the reminder, and was startled, but the knife was already approaching.
Just when Matt thought he was about to be hit, he saw the knife edge stop and a faint yellow light appeared at the door, blocking the forward movement of the knife edge.
With this delay, Matt retreated, tightly grasping the two sticks in his hands and staring at the ninja with vigilance.
“This is…”
Just when Matt was confused about the situation, two more ninjas appeared at the door, with black air coming out of their bodies like some poisonous gas, and the only eyes exposed were very cold.
The other two ninjas reacted and took a step forward to rush in, but they ran directly into the yellow light at the door.
Mindy was a little excited and raised her gun to shoot. The bullet passed through Matt’s side and shot rapidly towards one of the ninjas.
Just when Mindy thought the shot was going to hit, she saw a ninja slash down with his sword, and the bullet broke in two.
“I’ll go!”
Mindy opened her mouth slightly, stunned by this scene. What kind of monster is this that can even withstand bullets? She continued to fire a few shots in disbelief.
However, the ninja held the sword horizontally, and the bullet hit the sword and was blocked by Jinshu.
In a blink of an eye, Mindy had used up all the bullets in her gun, and sparks kept coming out of the swords of the three ninjas at the door.
“Hiss~”
Mindy couldn’t help but gasp. This was simply too inhumane.
When they turned around, they saw that Taoist Li was still looking at them calmly, which made them feel more secure.
The three ninjas immediately swung down their knives, trying to cut through the inexplicable invisible obstacles in front of them, but they were all blocked by the yellow waves of light.
Matt asked with a confused look on his face.
“House-guarding talisman.”
Li Hong explained calmly.
“Can you stop them? Your seal was ineffective against these three people before.”
Matt asked, somewhat worriedly.
As soon as Matt said this, he saw the three ninjas make another move, and the black energy emanating from their bodies consciously condensed on the blades.
As another blow fell, it landed on the yellow waves, and the waves began to flicker faintly, as if they were about to break.
“It’s over!”
Mindy couldn’t help but step back when she saw this, with the rate at which these guys were chopping bullets, her gun was probably going to be of no use.
Stephen’s heart tightened, and his hands gripping the legs of the chair tightened even more, but he was still in a daze.
He really found it difficult to digest the scene before him and couldn’t understand it from the beginning.
Mindy, the little girl who was so skilled at pulling out a gun, looked even more skilled than he was at using a scalpel.
Matt, in his red armor, looked like some kind of superhero.
The three people outside the door were dressed exactly like the ninjas in the comics. What’s even more surprising is that they could block bullets with knives. Is this scientific?
At this moment, he seemed to have a dream, and it was a nightmare.
Li Hong looked at the flickering light and was not surprised. This house-guarding talisman was originally a low-level talisman that he drew casually. It was normal that it could not resist these three guys who were obviously possessed by demonic power.
He immediately turned and walked towards the desk.
“You go first, I’ll stop them.”
Although Matt couldn’t see, he knew what happened from Mindy’s voice, and immediately took a step forward and spoke loudly.
Seeing the obvious effect, the three ninjas immediately sped up their chopping. In less than a few seconds, the yellow light suddenly broke through and the gate opened wide.
At this moment, Mindy, Matt and Stephen all changed their expressions. A ninja had already stepped through the door and into the office, which meant that the spell was ineffective!
At this moment, Li Hong had already walked to the desk, opened the lid of the glass tripod on the desk, and pointed a finger at the glass tripod.
The next moment, an invisible suction force came from the cauldron. Mindy and the others did not feel it, but the three ninjas felt it very clearly.
The black gas emanating from his body reacted first, then was rolled into a thin line and flew over.
Then endless thick black mist emanated from them. The moment they were emanated, they were still enveloped by the suction force. They honestly joined the large group and flew towards the Glazed Cauldron.
In the end, even their bodies began to vaporize and became part of the thick black fog. First their heads were sucked away, followed by their upper and lower bodies.
In the blink of an eye, the three of them turned into black mist and were sucked into the glass cauldron.
Three samurai swords fell to the ground.
Li Hong looked into the glass tripod and saw that it was full of black mist, which was slowly rotating inside.
He casually dropped the lid of the tripod, and the room immediately returned to peace.
“What happened to them?”
Matt asked in confusion, because with his ears he really couldn’t see what was happening.
“It all got sucked in.”
Mindy jumped in front of the glass tripod with a look of surprise, and looked at this seemingly cheap handicraft curiously, which turned out to be so powerful.
Matt had a complicated expression. He didn’t expect that their powerful enemy, who had no resistance at all, could not last even a second in front of Li Hong. If his teacher knew, would he regret it?
In a blink of an eye, the door was closed and Matt sat opposite Li Hong.
Mindy and Stephen were all watching from the sidelines, curious about what Matt wanted to say.
Matt had a complicated expression and didn’t know how to start. He couldn’t tell everything the teacher had done, as that would be betraying the teacher. He could only selectively tell what he said.
“These are ninjas from the Hand. They are different from the ones we encountered before. The sealing talisman is ineffective against them, and Shinchun will suffer heavy losses.
The Shugokai forced the Shinjunkai ninjas to tell you your address, so they came to kill you. They wanted to find the origin of the sealing talisman from the beginning.
My teacher…found out the Hand’s base and led people there.”
Matt still concealed his teacher’s involvement in the conspiracy.
“Tsk, your teacher is a bit unkind. The Taoist priest helped you, but you caused his address to be leaked. And now you abandon him and don’t care about him anymore?”
Mindy narrowed her eyes and could sense the old man’s attitude just from a few words.
Knowing that these three powerful enemies were coming to find the Taoist priest, he went to bully the weak ones. This is simply treating the Taoist priest as a target.
“this…”
Faced with such doubts, Matt hesitated and was unable to explain.
Li Hong looked normal, as if he didn’t care. He looked at Matt and asked softly.
“What is a dragon bone?”
In an instant, Matt’s face froze, as if struck by a bolt from the blue. He was caught off guard, and his heart was filled with shock and deep doubt.
Did he just say keel?
Thinking back carefully, it seems like he never said it. So how did the Taoist priest know that?
Could it be possible that he has another source of information?
Matt hesitated for a moment, then spoke.
“It is said that it is a treasure that can make the leader of the Hand live forever and be resurrected. I don’t know what it is exactly.”
“It sounds like good stuff.”
Li Hong nodded and said, it sounded like a good material for alchemy.
“Maybe.”
Matt twitched the corner of his mouth and agreed.
“It’s time to go.”
Li Hong nodded, thinking.
“I want to go too!”
When Mindy heard this, she immediately raised her hand and her face was full of joy.
Stephen looked a little hesitant, but still said, “I’ll go too.”
After all, his teacher is going, so he can’t back down.
Matt gave a wry smile and explained, “I don’t know where it is.”
“It’s okay. I know.”
Li Hong immediately said that as a Taoist priest, he still had some hidden skills.
“Wait for me, I’ll change my clothes!”
Mindy said loudly, rushed into the inner room, and closed the door with a bang.
Soon the door opened and a figure with short purple hair, wearing a mask, a tight-fitting plaid skirt walked out. It was Hit-Girl.
Stephen’s mouth opened wide and he immediately understood why Mindy was so skilled in holding a gun at such a young age. It turned out that she was a little superhero.
As usual, Li Hong took off the peach wood sword and hung it behind him, then picked up the divination bag and put it on his back.
“By the way, bring the Glazed Cauldron with you.”
Li Hong suddenly remembered something and said to Stephen, this thing is his only magic weapon after all.
Chapter 23 Aren’t You Afraid? (Old Version)
The old man with the stick led the real elite of the Shinchun Society and followed the traces left by the ninja spies to the real base of the Hand.
The two leaders of the Hand were indeed seen here. One was Madam Gao, whom I had just met, and the other was Alexandra.
When he rushed in with everyone, Mrs. Gao’s face changed obviously. She immediately realized where the problem lay, and her previous calm look disappeared without a trace.
Mrs. Gao planned to delay time by talking, but the old man with the stick also knew that time was precious. Once Li Hong could not hold on, the three inhuman ninjas would come back. Once that time came, there would be no chance of a comeback.
So the old man with a stick didn’t say a word and led everyone to kill directly.
This was a confrontation between two major ninja forces. The scene was in chaos with countless hidden weapons flying around.
The old man with the stick took out a large stack of sealing talismans with one hand and threw them directly into the sky.
In an instant, many ninjas of the Hand turned into dust, and black and purple lights flew across the sky, which was very spectacular.
But even so, the number of remaining ninjas in the Hand is much larger than that of the Shinjunkai. After all, the Hand has many years of accumulation and its influence spread all over the world.
However, the overall quality is obviously slightly weaker than that of Zhenchunkai.
“Break those spells!”
Alexandra gave the order calmly and did not lose her composure because of the loss of dozens of elite soldiers in an instant.
The fight between the two sides was on the verge of breaking out. The ninjas of the Shinjunkai rushed to kill people, and the ninjas of the Shugokai were even willing to risk their lives to destroy the talisman in the sky.
Even though these Hand ninjas are not elite, they have been instilled with the ideals of the Hand since childhood and are now fearless and unafraid of death.
Time passed slowly, and the number of people on the Shuuhe Society’s side decreased rapidly, but in return, the talismans were shattered one by one, and black and purple light escaped from them.
But it did not directly possess the other ninjas, but condensed in the sky.
However, the old man with the stick also had a corresponding solution. He took out more talismans and sealed some of the demonic power again.
After an unknown amount of time, the sealing talismans on the stick old man were almost used up, and there were only a few ninjas in the Hand, with only a dozen of them left guarding Alexandra and Madam Gao.
Looking at the Shinjunkai, there are still dozens of ninjas present, which is several times the number of the Shuukai.
But above this enclosed space, there was a large mass of black and purple light, which was the combination of dozens of demonic powers.
Seeing that their side was about to be defeated, Alexandra and Mrs. Gao looked at each other and reached a tacit understanding in an instant.
Mrs. Gao took out a dagger and slashed her palm with it, and sticky blood immediately flowed out.
“Great demon beast, your believers beg you to listen. Using the power of darkness as a medium and the blood of your servants as a guide, we summon your appearance.”
Mrs. Gao suddenly started chanting, then squatted down and drew some inexplicable symbols on the ground.
When the old man with the stick heard this, his face changed and he shouted loudly.
“Stop her, don’t let her go on!”
Although I don’t know what will happen, it will definitely not be a good thing.
In an instant, all the Shinjunkai ninjas rushed forward at once, while the Shugokai ninjas gathered together to defend, with only one purpose, which was to use their bodies as shields to delay time.
The belief that they would die and hold on to the end was very effective and really bought Mrs. Gao some time.
Just a little time was enough, and as Mrs. Gao finished her chanting, the symbol was already drawn.
The entire space seemed to be blown by a cold wind, and the dark purple light above suddenly began to beat like a heart, accompanied by the sound of drums.
At that moment, everyone’s heartbeats followed the drumbeats.
The old man with the stick’s expression changed slightly, and he couldn’t help but look upwards.
The dark purple fluorescence suddenly shrank and condensed into a solid thick fog, like a strange cloud.
Then a sharp claw suddenly emerged from the thick fog, followed by a head, an unknown animal head with evil eyes and sharp fangs in its mouth.
If you have seen the demon statues worshipped by the Hand, you will know that the beast head in front of you is exactly the same as the one on the statue.
Immediately afterwards, another sharp claw stretched out, and the two claws grabbed the thick fog again. With a little effort, he pulled his entire body out of the thick fog.
However, with this operation, the volume of the thick fog was shrinking rapidly. It looked like the devil was coming out of the thick fog, but in fact, it was the thick fog that was constructing the devil’s body.
The Shinjunkai ninjas stared at the scene in horror, throwing out the hidden weapons in their hands in an attempt to stop it all, but the hidden weapons went straight through the thick fog and had no effect at all.
Finally, the thick fog disappeared, and a humanoid demon as tall as an ordinary man appeared and landed steadily.
The humanoid demon twisted his head vigorously, as if doing warm-up exercises.
“You are such a loser! Did you summon me just to deal with this bunch of trash? You borrowed my power but you can’t even deal with this trash!”
In an instant, the devil’s roar spread in the enclosed space. He glanced at the stick man and others, not taking them seriously at all. His gaze finally fell on Alexandra and Mrs. Gao.
Alexandra and Mrs. Gao’s faces changed slightly, and they immediately knelt on one knee to express their submission.
“Reporting to the Demon God, it’s not that your subordinates are incompetent, but these people have the method to seal your power.”
Mrs. Gao explained immediately.
“Oh? Really? Then what if I asked you to find the person who devoured my power?”
“Three guardians who borrowed your power have gone to capture him. I think there shouldn’t be any problem.”
Mrs. Gao replied quickly.
“Humph, you are still somewhat useful. In that case, I will reluctantly save you poor creatures!”
The humanoid demon immediately snorted coldly, with a hint of dissatisfaction in his voice, and turned his gaze to the stick man and others, revealing a man-eating devilish light.
The next moment the demon moved, as if with an afterimage, constantly teleporting, appearing in front of a Shinjunkai ninja. Before he could react, he grabbed his head and plucked it hard, taking it off like a fruit from a tree.
He opened his huge mouth and squeezed hard, and blood and brain fluid fell into his mouth like nectar.
“Tsk, tsk, tsk, it tastes terrible!”
This scene made everyone present feel a chill and fear arose in their hearts.
“Kill him, or we’ll die here.”
The old man with the stick immediately gave the order that only a desperate fight could give them a chance of survival.
The next moment, all the Shinjunkai ninjas shouted loudly and rushed towards the demon, but the demon avoided the fight, appeared behind a group of ninjas, and crushed the two heads with his hands.
A one-sided massacre immediately began. The Shinjunkai ninjas had no ability to resist at all because they couldn’t even touch the demon’s body.
Seeing that the number of people was decreasing, the old man with a stick also wanted to evacuate, but when he looked at the exit, it was already occupied by Alexandra and Madam Gao.
As the leaders of the Hand, their strength is unquestionable, and it is very difficult to break out of them.
Just when the old man with the stick was in despair, several figures appeared at the door.
The first to come out was Matt in red armor, followed by Li Hong, followed by Mindy Stephen.
“hiss!”
Looking at the bloody scene in front of him, Stephen’s face suddenly changed, especially when there was an unknown object at the scene that was constantly pinching a human head and playing with it.
Stephen, a doctor, couldn’t bear to see such a scene. His stomach started to churn and his face turned pale.
When Li Hong appeared, the humanoid demon was slightly stunned. He stopped what he was doing and turned his gaze over. He was not staring at Li Hong, but at Stephen, or more precisely, at the glass tripod in Stephen’s hand.
He seemed to sense his own power in it.
His power, the great dark power, was thus trapped in a narrow space.
Anger instantly brewed in his heart, like volcanic magma rising continuously. His eyes moved among the group of people, and it was really difficult to know who the culprit was, because in his eyes, these people were all humble ants, and he couldn’t tell which ant was stronger.
“How dare you, these lowly ants, steal my power? I will tear you into pieces, and then extract your souls, and torture you for the rest of your lives!”
The humanoid demon roared angrily, and the sound echoed continuously in the space, hitting their eardrums and reaching their brains.
Everyone couldn’t help but cover their ears to offset the discomfort.
Only Li Hong remained calm and looked directly at the humanoid demon.
“I found you!”
The humanoid demon immediately noticed something was wrong with Li Hong, and he was the only one present who had no reaction.
The next moment, the humanoid demon threw away the headless corpse in his hand and approached Li Hong in an instant.
Finally, he appeared less than half a meter in front of Li Hong, but he did not rush to take action. There was a faint evil light in his eyes. He tried to see the fear deep in the eyes of the ant who was pretending to be calm, but he found nothing.
Moreover, the look in the ant’s eyes was a little strange, as if it was looking at a dish, a dish that it was not very satisfied with.
In an instant, a nameless fire ignited in his heart, and he changed his mind. He would not crush this ant to death so easily. He wanted to make him understand what fear is.
“Aren’t you afraid of me?”
The devil tried his best to speak softly. This was the first time in his long life that he spoke so gently. He was afraid that he would be too rude and scare the other person to death.
Li Hong looked at the devil and couldn’t help shaking his head.
“This is not your real body. Why doesn’t your real body come?”
Li Hong said with a little disappointment that even if a demon of this size were to refine elixirs, it would not increase his cultivation much.
If his real body came, he should be able to refine some pretty good pills.
It’s not easy to get this evaluation.
Chapter 24: Can You Catch It? (Old Version)
“Ha ha ha ha!”
Hearing what Li Hong said, the devil couldn’t help but raise his head and laugh wildly. The laughter was like a devil’s sound, constantly hitting his brain.
“To deal with a little ant like you, there is no need to use your true body.
What’s more, your world is afraid of me and has desperately set up a lot of obstacles for fear that I would step in even with one foot.
So it’s a pity, otherwise I would definitely fulfill your wish.
But you are also very lucky, otherwise you would be scared to death on the spot if you saw my true self.”
The devil said this with a look of satisfaction on his face, as if it was the world that could not contain his power, rather than the other party that could not come in.
Li Hong listened to the other party bragging and couldn’t help but think of something.
He seemed to have seen it on his mobile phone in his previous life that the reason beings from other dimensions could not come in was because of the Supreme Sorcerer.
The Supreme Sorcerer set up three temples to construct a magic circle to resist the invasion of dimensions.
What if he opened up a special channel for the other party!
Li Hong’s eyes lit up. With his current strength, it would be very costly to extend his hand outside.
But it is not very difficult to just build a channel for the other party to come in on their own initiative. Of course, the premise is that the other party wants to come in on their own initiative.
Li Hong suddenly turned his head and looked in one direction. He seemed to see the Supreme Temple in New York through layers of barriers, and observed the magic circle along its nodes.
Although it is a magic formation, in Li Hong’s eyes it is just an alternative formation.
In fact, he also had some knowledge of formations.
With just one glance, he saw the mystery and loopholes of the magic circle.
Based on this alone, he could make a key specifically for the demon in front of him.
“You only know how to talk big?”
Li Hong suddenly asked, causing the devil’s laughter to stop abruptly.
“What did you say?”
The devil seemed to doubt his own ears and asked.
“I say, are you worthy?”
At this moment everyone was stunned. No one expected that Li Hong would take the initiative to anger this demon.
The devil also heard it clearly at this moment, his face turned completely gloomy, and he changed his mind again. He wanted to torture the ant to death, then extract its soul, and continue to torture it for thousands and millions of years, making it regret what it had just said for thousands and millions of years.
Just when the devil was about to make a move, Li Hong moved first.
He stretched out one hand, but not forward, but backward.
He grabbed the glass tripod in Stephen’s hand, threw it gently at the demon, and said casually.
“then.”
When the demon saw the thing falling from the sky, he instinctively reached out to catch it.
He was a little confused, but soon he understood what Li Hong meant. He was begging for mercy, so he returned his power to him and only asked him to be magnanimous. It was really interesting. Such a cold and arrogant begging for mercy was much more interesting than ordinary begging for mercy.
“Oh, you think that I will let you go just by begging for mercy like this? You are so naive!” said the devil proudly.
The faces of the others changed slightly after hearing this. They thought Li Hong was going to take action against the demon, but unexpectedly he was begging for mercy.
Li Hong raised the corner of his mouth slightly and asked calmly.
“Can you catch this tripod?”
The devil was about to answer when he felt the tripod in his hand suddenly become heavier. What was going on?
Then the tripod grew bigger in his hand and became heavier.
In an instant, it turned into a normal large cauldron, as tall as a person.
The devil was carrying the big tripod and wanted to throw it away, but he remembered what Li Hong just said. It was just a tripod, how could he not catch it!
So even though it was difficult at this moment, he still supported the tripod with one hand.
However, the size of the tripod did not continue to change, but its weight became heavier and heavier, until he had to support it with both hands and did not dare to take a breath.
But the weight of the tripod seemed endless, and in the end he could no longer hold on and wanted to throw the tripod out.
However, the glass tripod suddenly sank, forcing him to use his shoulders and hands to hold it up.
Then his legs trembled and he could hardly hold on any longer. At this moment, it was difficult for him to even put the tripod down, let alone throw it away.
His originally dark purple face seemed to become even more purple.
“It looks like you can’t hold on.”
Li Hong said calmly. In fact, he had not made any move yet. At the moment, it was just the power of the Glazed Tripod itself.
As a magic weapon, it is not difficult to kill this demon incarnation directly with its pressure.
The others all showed joy upon seeing this, except for the ninjas from the Hand, all of them became excited.
At this moment, I no longer have the energy to think about how the tripod became so big.
“hateful!”
The devil’s face turned purple and he shouted with gnashing teeth that it would be a great shame if he was really crushed to death by this tripod!
If it wasn’t so difficult for my power to penetrate, how could I not even be able to lift this tripod?
If only his power could come in!
At this moment, Li Hong suddenly took a step forward and formed a formation.
The demon suddenly sensed that the defense array of this world had become much weaker, and hurriedly borrowed strength from his own body.
In an instant, the demon emitted billowing black smoke, and its body grew rapidly as if it had grown larger. In comparison, the tripod instantly became smaller.
“Haha, how can I not catch this mere tripod!”
The devil reversed the situation and couldn’t help but laughed out loud. Just as he was about to throw the glass tripod out, he felt the weight of the tripod suddenly increase. It was not like the previous increase bit by bit, but it increased all at once.
There was no other way, the demon could only continue to borrow power, and the power of the tripod grew stronger and stronger.
The aura of the blinking demon was so terrifying that it seemed that even the space began to distort.
But in the eyes of Mindy and others, although this demon seemed to be getting stronger and stronger, it was still suppressed by Ding.
Li Hong was not too greedy, otherwise he would have given the demon a door to let it come in directly.
At the moment, he was just giving the demon a channel to transmit power.
Li Hong took a step back and set up the formation again. Using the space here as a limit, he used the Glazed Tripod as a magic weapon to draw a blockade formation.
As long as the blockade formation is activated, the demon’s power will never be able to leave.
The humanoid demon was completely unaware of Li Hong’s actions. At this moment, he was like a crazy gambler, constantly placing his chips on the table, just to bet that he could hold up the tripod.
Finally, he managed to hold up the power of the Glazed Tripod, and the weight of the Glazed Tripod also reached its limit. Just when he wanted to cheer and laugh, Li Hong moved.
A spell was cast and the blockade formation was instantly activated. The devil’s back door key was taken back, and his power was also blocked in this space, unable to leave.
“What did you do?!”
The demon’s face suddenly changed. He instantly sensed that his connection with his original body was severed, but for some reason he instinctively doubted the weak human in front of him.
Li Hong did not answer, his face was grim, and he cast a spell again to control the glass tripod.
Instantly, the lid of the tripod popped out with a bang, and the glass tripod broke away from the devil’s hand, flew in the air, and suddenly turned over, with the mouth of the tripod facing downward, releasing a terrifying suction force.
The demon was caught off guard and was sucked into the glass tripod before he could react.
The lid of the tripod flew down in an instant and closed tightly.
“What have you done!”
The demon was immediately shocked and angry, and suddenly smashed the lid of the cauldron with his claws, causing the lid to tremble and almost flip over.
Li Hong had a blank expression on his face as he cast another spell. The cauldron immediately flew down and smashed onto the ground. At this moment, it was connected to the blockade formation in this area of space and completely became the core of the formation.
The demon obviously did not give up struggling and continued to hit the lid of the tripod. However, this time the lid did not move at all, not even the slightest crack appeared.
Li Hong’s mouth curled up slightly, it was over for now.
This formation uses the glazed tripod as the center of the formation, and the glazed tripod is the magic weapon.
Right now, this demon is being suppressed by both the Glazed Cauldron and the blockade formation. If it wants to get out under the double suppression, it must be able to break the eye of the Glazed Cauldron.
As the Glazed Cauldron was a magic weapon, the demon’s current strength was only enough to barely fight against it, and it was impossible for it to break it.
So Li Hong was sure to defeat him.
Of course, Li Hong actually has a more risky choice, which is to continue to allow the demon to grow bigger and suppress it with other means.
But this kind of power will undoubtedly surpass his current realm, and it will come at a certain price, and it may not be better than the current choice.
“Let me out, you damn ant!”
The demon could only rage helplessly inside for a moment, and the sound coming from inside was somewhat dull.
Li Hong had no intention of continuing to listen to the devil’s nonsense, so he directly drove the Glazed Cauldron to completely seal the space inside so that not a single sound could leak out.
“Master, you are so amazing.”
Mingdy jumped in front of Li Hong with admiration on her face, stars shining in her eyes, and she became more and more determined to become his disciple.
Stephen was also looking at Li Hong’s back in shock. He had experienced too many shocks that day, so he seemed numb. However, he could see that it would be a great fortune to have Li Hong as his teacher.
In fact, before today, Stephen’s impression of Li Hong was more of a doctor who could use talismans, and the emphasis on talismans was more obvious in the doctor.
But now, Stephen seemed to see the immortal described in the story, which was probably like this.
After temporarily dealing with this demon, Li Hong’s gaze immediately moved among the crowd, first falling on the old man with a stick, and then on the ninjas of the Hand.
Now there are actually only two leaders left among the Hand Ninjas.
Li Hong could tell at a glance that they were stained with countless sins.
He doesn’t usually fight evil, but now that he has run into him, it’s just a matter of convenience.
Li Hong reached into his divination bag and pulled out two talismans.
When Mrs. Gao and Alexandra saw Li Hong’s gaze, they were immediately horrified and knew that a disaster was about to happen. This was an existence that could crush the demon beast, and they were at most its slaves, so they wanted to escape directly.
However, Li Hong’s talisman had already been thrown.
The next moment, thick flames burst out of the two men’s bodies, and screams echoed inside and outside.
Chapter 25 How Do You Want to Die (Old Version)
However, the screams only lasted for a short while as they tried to roll on the ground to put out the flames.
However, in the end, only a little ashes were left on the ground.
Stephen’s heart skipped a beat. He didn’t expect that his teacher was such a decisive killer. These two lives were gone in an instant.
Mindy, on the other hand, didn’t take it seriously at all. Countless gangsters had died at her hands.
Listening to the enemy’s screams before death, the old man with a stick felt a little sad, but he did not breathe a sigh of relief. After all, it has been a while since the people of the Hand have been resurrected.
“Thank you, Taoist Priest, for arriving in time and eradicating the great evil!”
The old man with the stick clasped his hands together, showing gratitude on his face, and spoke loudly.
Seeing this, Mindy curled her lips and looked down on the sanctimonious guy.
Li Hong looked calm as he walked towards the old man with the stick, and finally stopped one meter in front of him.
Hearing Li Hong approaching, the old man with a stick inevitably felt a little guilty, but as an old fox, he naturally would not show any of it on his face, and he also believed that the disciple he raised since childhood would not betray him.
He immediately showed a look of sorrow and sighed deeply.
“Poor me, the Shinjunkai ninja. We have suffered many losses today. However, we have sacrificed our lives for justice. That is a great deed!”
It seems that his true feelings are revealed.
Li Hong stared at the old man with a stick with a calm look, as if he was observing something, and then he spoke softly.
“Although you have done many good deeds, you are also entangled with many sins. You have done a lot of good deeds, but you have also committed a lot of sins. I think you have sacrificed a lot of people.
But none of this has anything to do with me.”
The old man with the stick was shocked. He didn’t expect Li Hong to know him so well. Suddenly he remembered that Taoists also have the ability to observe people.
Li Hong has already demonstrated such powerful and amazing abilities, so it is normal for him to have the ability to observe people. His heart tightened involuntarily, as if he had been completely seen through.
However, after hearing Li Hong’s last words, he immediately felt relieved. It seemed that Li Hong would not do anything to him.
“It’s just that you shouldn’t use me as bait and sacrifice me for your justice. This has a lot to do with me.”
As soon as Li Hong said this, the atmosphere at the scene suddenly became tense. The dozen or so remaining Shinjunkai ninjas all looked at Li Hong, with inevitable vigilance and fear in their eyes.
Matt’s face also changed. He already had a bad feeling when Li Hong asked him about the dragon bone for no reason. Now it seems that he really knew it!
The old man with the stick showed a hint of doubt and asked.
“I don’t know what the chief is talking about?
I think the Taoist priest probably misunderstood.
Previously, these Shuu-kai villains captured several ninjas from my Shinjun-kai. I’m afraid they used cruel means to torture some information out of them.
Alas! Although they had no choice, it was all wrong.
I think they have already become dead souls. Please don’t bear a grudge against them, Taoist priest, and put the blame on me.
I will bear the responsibility for them, which can be regarded as the final consolation for those who sacrificed their lives for justice.”
The old man with the stick spoke with sincerity and emotion, his face was sad, he felt sorry for those who died, but also showed a sense of determination, and took the blame of others on himself.
The Shinjunkai ninja behind him was immediately filled with admiration and was completely moved by the stick man’s words.
However, for Matt, all three views were shattered.
Originally, he still respected his teacher very much. Even though the teacher was shrewd and sometimes sacrificed his righteous companions, it was for the greater good and the overall situation.
He even imagined that the teacher must be extremely painful in private for doing this, and felt sorry for his sacrificed companions, but he did not endure the pain and continued to plan the overall situation. This is a leader who can truly deal with the Hand, and even Matt feels ashamed of himself.
But at this moment, I just felt that the feeling I had before was thrown away in an instant.
There is nothing wrong with wanting to live, but if you push all your mistakes onto the people who were sacrificed, it is so tragic that these people who were sacrificed still have to bear the blame after their death.
I wonder if, if there is reincarnation, they would be reincarnated as turtles, born with shells.
The most outrageous thing is that his teacher even acted as if he was righteous, which was even more disgusting.
Matt suppressed the chill in his heart and clenched the short stick in his hand. He really wanted to hit his teacher on the head with the stick to avenge the death.
“Okay, then how do you want to die?”
Li Hong thought this was a good suggestion and agreed immediately.
The Shinchun Society ninjas who didn’t know the truth were stunned. They thought that they were already in such a miserable state, so why was Li Hong still chasing them? There was a hint of hatred in their eyes when they looked at Li Hong.
The old man with the stick opened his mouth slightly, and for a moment he didn’t know how to respond. He couldn’t really let him die.
I couldn’t help but feel a chill in my heart, thinking that Li Hong might really know something.
After a moment of silence, the old man with the stick spoke again.
“I am old, and my time is running out, but the Hand still has remnants.
I am willing to use my remaining body to the last bit of strength and die on the battlefield.”
Li Hong couldn’t help but smile when he heard this. This guy is good at talking. It seems that he really doesn’t want to die.
However, Li Hong agreed directly, which made Mindy, who was watching the show, a little anxious. How could she let this old guy go? But she still did not interfere with Li Hong’s decision.
The old man with the stick suddenly felt happy and was about to thank him when Li Hong’s voice rang out again.
“The devil that the Hand believes in is in there. I’ll let you in and you go kill it.”
Li Hong pointed at the enlarged glass tripod and said with a smile.
“Puchi!” Mindy couldn’t help laughing and found the Taoist priest very interesting.
“Master, you are joking. How can I subdue this demon?”
The old man with the stick’s face froze and he spoke tremblingly.
“You were the one who joked with me first.” Li Hong looked calm, but his soft words made everyone present feel extremely pressured.
“In a word, either you go in and kill the demon, or I’ll let you live. I’ll keep my word.
Or, I can give you a ride and give you a decent treat for the good deeds you have done.”
Li Hong’s voice sounded gentle, but it made the old man with the stick’s expression change drastically.
“Master, do you really want to force me to death?!”
The old man with the stick tore off his disguise and looked a little ferocious, but he was sure in his heart that Li Hong knew what he had done.
“From the moment you tried to kill me, your fate was already determined. This is cause and effect.”
Li Hong was willing to give the old man with a stick an explanation so that he could die with a clear conscience.
“I have done countless good deeds and eliminated countless evils in my life, and you want to kill me?!”
The old man with the stick was angry and asked Li Hong unwillingly.
“right.”
However, Li Hong just looked at him quietly and spoke very briefly.
Chapter 26 Dragon Bones (Old Version)
“In that case, you might as well die first!”
The old man with the stick had a bloodshot face and shouted angrily. He suddenly became violent and smashed down Li Hong with the long stick in his hand, using all his strength just to smash Li Hong’s head into pieces with a single blow.
The long stick was made of solid material and had a very hard texture. An ordinary person would have his head smashed if hit by it, let alone a full-strength blow from the stick wielder.
Although he is old, he still has strength, and no young man can compare to him.
The old man with the stick believed that it would be difficult for Li Hong to avoid the stick. As he had just seen, Li Hong was very capable, but he only used talismans and external objects.
Such a close distance, with his speed, is enough!
But the others were not there to sit there and do nothing. Mindy had been on guard against this old guy and pointed his gun at him the moment the old man with the stick made a move.
Matt’s face changed, and although he wanted to stop it, it was obviously too late.
However, as soon as the old man raised his long stick, he felt a terrifying force descending and enveloping every part of his body.
In an instant, an irresistible force came from all parts of his body, making it impossible for him to drop the long stick in his hand.
Not only that, he couldn’t move any part of his body, as if he was sleep-paralyzed, except for his eyes, which were wide open.
Li Hong blinked his eyes. He had already set up a formation here. Even the demon incarnation was trapped in the glass tripod. Where did the old man with the stick get his confidence from?
Within the range of the formation, dealing with the stick old man only requires a thought.
When the gunshot was heard, a flower of blood suddenly splashed out from between the brows of the old man with the stick.
Two more gunshots were heard, and Mindy did not forget to shoot again. The other two bullets were embedded in the stick old man’s heart.
“Well…!”
Blood flowed from the corner of the old man’s mouth, there was obvious unwillingness on his face, and his eyes had lost their luster.
As Li Hong was freed from the restraints of the formation, he fell backwards and hit the ground.
Everything came to an end at this moment.
Next, Matt stopped the remaining Shinjunkai ninjas, told them the truth of the matter, gathered the remaining soldiers, left with the body of the old man with a stick, and cleaned up the scene by the way.
Stephen and Mindy had already left, leaving Li Hong alone.
Li Hong’s eyes fell on the glass tripod. He had gained a lot this time. If he could refine the demon inside into a pill, it should be able to help him enter the golden elixir stage.
And it’s not just the devil incarnate.
Li Hong turned his gaze to the ground.
keel!
There are indeed dragon bones hidden here. The dragon bones themselves are magical and integrated with the earth veins.
If the Hand ninjas planned to obtain the dragon bones by digging deep, it would obviously be a fantasy.
However, although it is called a dragon bone, it is actually only a piece of it, as white as jade, about the size of a car, and it is even more unclear what kind of creature it is.
But no matter whether it is a dragon or not, Li Hong can feel the strong breath of life on the dragon bone.
Ordinary people can use it to delay aging. As for resurrection… perhaps it can be performed by other means using dragon bones as a medium.
Li Hong stepped lightly on the ground, and the ground shook suddenly, as if a dragon was turning over.
A huge white jade dragon bone suddenly rose from the ground, penetrated the ground, and finally appeared completely.
He raised his eyebrows, thinking that with this dragon bone as an ingredient in alchemy, he might be able to make a different pill.
A rare hint of hesitation flashed across Li Hong’s eyes.
Although they are all golden elixirs, there are still some differences between them.
The training route that Li Hong originally set for himself was actually a fast-track road.
After all, there is no spiritual energy in this world. If you want to break through and reach the fairyland, you can only take the speed pass route and ignore everything else.
As long as he can raise his realm, he will become an immortal.
But now it seems that breaking through the realm is not a difficult thing. Although there is no spiritual energy in this world, there are other things that can be refined into pills.
In this way, his resources are not so scarce, and perhaps he can try another path.
It not only consolidates the foundation but also quickly breaks through.
In this way, when you become an immortal in the future, you will not be the weakest immortal.
Otherwise, with this route, his foundation would be unstable and his future would be short.
In the end you may even need to retake it.
After thinking through the pros and cons, Li Hong knew what to do. A light flashed in his eyes, and he immediately took out the peach wood sword from behind him.
With a light wave, a sword energy suddenly shot out and landed on the dragon bone, instantly splitting the dragon bone into two ends.
One section has four-fifths of the original, the other has one-fifth.
Li Hong swung the sword again, and the sword energy continued to split in the air, turning into more tiny sword energies, all of which fell on the small section of dragon bone, breaking it into pieces and causing it to collapse.
Pieces of dragon bones of various shapes were scattered on the ground.
Li Hong continued to carry the peach wood sword on his back. With a wave of his sleeve, a strong wind blew up in the enclosed space. The dragon bones on the ground suddenly flew up and landed under the glazed tripod.
Then he came to the glass tripod, stretched out his hand, and caught a small piece of dragon bone in his hand.
He was originally thinking about how to start the fire, but now that he had the dragon bone, it saved him some trouble.
If one wants to refine this demon incarnation into a pill, ordinary fire is naturally not enough.
Therefore, a more powerful spiritual fire is needed.
This is not a difficult task for him, but refining the elixir takes a long time, and if he only relies on releasing the fire, the cost will be high.
However, if one wants to draw the Spirit Fire Talisman, ordinary materials are not enough and it takes time to search for them specifically.
But now that we have the dragon bone, these troubles are gone.
He looked at the dragon bone in his hand, blew lightly with his mouth, and a thin wisp of fire flew out, instantly igniting the dragon bone.
Then he threw the dragon bones to the ground. Soon, all the dragon bones under the glazed tripod were burning with flames. The fire was so powerful that it distorted the air and completely enveloped the bottom of the glazed tripod.
This dragon bone is a good fuel, which allows him to continuously release spiritual fire without consuming a lot of mana.
The next moment, a slight sound came from the glass tripod. He had sealed off the sound inside the tripod.
It is enough to imagine how intense it would be if the sound was not blocked.
Apparently, the demon incarnation had sensed the scorching heat inside the cauldron, which was hot enough to melt everything, and was struggling desperately. However, the glass cauldron did not even tremble.
Time passed slowly, and Li Hong sat cross-legged on the ground guarding the alchemy furnace.
This time was different from the previous times. The initial procedure alone made him wait for five hours.
Feeling that the time had come, Li Hong raised his hand, and the lid of the glazed tripod flew up with a bang, and bursts of white smoke immediately came out.
When the white smoke dissipated, the demon was no longer inside, only a furnace of purple viscous liquid remained.
After five hours of being burned by the spiritual fire, the demon incarnation naturally disappeared, and its power turned into this pool of liquid, which looked like colloid.
Li Hong then threw another large piece of dragon bone into the cauldron, the lid of the cauldron sank, and he continued to refine the elixir.
Chapter 27: A Golden Pill (Old Version)
The dark power liquid in the glass tripod kept rolling under the burning of the spiritual fire and poured onto the dragon bones.
The white jade-like dragon bones gradually changed color under such watering, as if they were polluted.
After an unknown amount of time, even the dragon bones began to melt, turning into a half-white, half-black solution.
As if the opportunity had come, Li Hong opened his mouth and spewed out flames. The fire instantly spread rapidly and enveloped the entire glass tripod.
The air in the entire enclosed space became noticeably distorted and the temperature increased sharply.
However, Li Hong looked calm and there was not a drop of sweat on his body.
Under such fire, the solution inside changed rapidly, boiling continuously and shrinking rapidly.
The evil and chaos contained in the dark forces quickly evaporated at this moment and were quickly eliminated from the solution.
In less than a minute, the solution began to condense and gradually turned into a smooth pill.
A hint of medicinal fragrance wafted out from it, and just a sniff of it made me feel refreshed.
Li Hong immediately closed his mouth, waved his sleeves, released a strong wind, and the fire in front of him was extinguished instantly.
He lifted his finger slightly, and the glass tripod opened with a bang, emitting billowing white steam with a strong medicinal fragrance that was very intoxicating.
A pill flew out from it and landed steadily in front of Li Hong.
The main body of this pill is black and purple in color, with white horizontal stripes on it.
Li Hong pinched it with two fingers and observed it in his hand.
The refining process was quite successful, but the specific efficacy can only be known after taking it.
Li Hong didn’t care about the environment here. He sat on the ground and seemed to want to swallow the pill directly.
Although this is not in the office, it is also a suitable place for retreat. After all, the magic circle he set up has not yet dissipated, so no one can disturb him from swallowing the pill.
She held the pill between her slender fingers and pushed it into her mouth. The pill melted instantly in her mouth.
It turns into a clear liquid and before you can swallow it, it goes straight into your throat and into your stomach, where the medicinal power begins to spread.
In an instant, Li Hong’s face turned red and a trace of heat emanated from his body.
For him who is at the foundation-building stage, the efficacy of this pill is amazing.
Li Hong closed his eyes and concentrated on refining the elixir.
It was as if his body had transformed into the universe, rapidly and orderly extracting the energy released by the medicine, returning it to its own place, with the medicinal power divided among his internal organs.
The redness on his face immediately faded, and his cultivation was increasing rapidly.
With a puff sound coming from his body, he had already stepped over the foundation-building stage and reached the golden elixir stage.
In an instant, a violent storm arose in the body, and all the true energy flowed along with the wind and rain.
The medicinal power of the elixir also came in at this time, and a large amount of it was separated and merged into the tornado.
The size of the instant tornado quickly increased as the medicinal power was absorbed, and it rotated even faster.
The true energy in the body gradually condensed into a ball under the tornado and gradually took shape.
In just a short while, the embryonic form of the golden elixir was formed.
If Li Hong was willing, he could solidify the golden elixir and achieve the golden elixir state at this moment.
However, he did not do so, because there was still a lot of medicinal power left in the elixir, and just a small part of it would allow him to enter the Golden Elixir realm.
If he wanted, after instantly forging the golden elixir, he could use the remaining medicinal power to quickly improve his cultivation and advance quickly towards the Nascent Soul stage.
But he did not do so. Instead, he controlled the remaining medicinal power to wrap the golden elixir, preparing to use the remaining medicinal power to polish the golden elixir.
The golden elixir slowly took shape, showing a dull golden color, and its size slowly grew, while its medicinal power also rapidly decreased.
Then, a pure white cloud jumped out from the golden elixir and occupied the surface.
The clouds continued to increase until they reached nine, and by this time the medicinal power had been almost consumed.
Li Hong looked inward at the golden elixir in his body and was satisfied with the nine cloud patterns on it.
The next moment, with a thought, the golden elixir took shape completely.
At this moment, Li Hong truly stepped into the Golden Elixir realm. The Taoist robe on his body floated gently, as if it was generated by the wind.
Li Hong suddenly opened his eyes, a gleam of light shot out of his eyes, and the corners of his mouth couldn’t help but curl up.
The feeling at this moment is very fulfilling.
It turns out that having cultivation or not are two different things.
Before this, he could do many things that were not inferior to the strength of a golden elixir by relying on his understanding of the great principles of heaven and earth.
Even now it’s the same, but the feeling is very different.
Right now I have a sense of fulfillment, as if my feet are on solid ground, my body is full of magic power, and I can cast spells at will without any cost.
It’s like having enough food at home and not having to rely on borrowing to make ends meet.
Li Hong was very satisfied. Perhaps it was the feeling of swallowing a golden elixir and deciding that his fate was in his own hands.
However, nine patterns are not the limit of the golden elixir. If there are enough elixirs, he can even increase the cloud patterns to ninety-nine.
But now the pills are all used up, so there is nothing we can do.
Li Hong stood up. It was time to leave. He could feel the sun rising in the sky outside. It was already noon.
Refining medicine and practicing did take a lot of time.
He stretched out his hand, and the glass tripod suddenly flew up, quickly shrank in the air, and finally returned to its original shape and fell into his hand.
Then his eyes fell on the place where the glass tripod was originally. There were pieces of black charcoal on the ground, which were the dragon bones he used as fuel.
Although a large amount of the materials have been consumed, it is not impossible to recycle them.
Li Hong raised his chin slightly, pointed two fingers at the pile of charcoal and gently turned them. The next moment, the charcoal collapsed and turned into black powder. Under the traction of magic power, it was sucked into the glass tripod like a tornado.
Seeing this, Li Hong left here with satisfaction.
It was sunny outside, the sky was blue and the clouds were white. He narrowed his eyes slightly, and some ideas came to his mind.
Now that they are all Jindan cultivators, he has the magical power to do some things that he has never done before.
For example, flying.
Li Hong’s expression changed slightly and he took off the peach wood sword behind him.
With a casual throw, the peach wood sword did not fall but floated directly in the air.
Li Hong just blew with his mouth, and a flame suddenly gushed out and landed on the peach wood sword. At the same time, he pinched his fingers, as if leaving an afterimage, and cast a series of spells.
The terrifying spiritual fire did not burn the peach wood sword to ashes, but instead warmed the peach wood sword without damaging it in the slightest, as if the spiritual fire had no temperature at all.
However, if you look closely, you can see that the surrounding light has been distorted by the air.
Under the influence of the spells and spiritual fire, the interior of the peach wood sword underwent earth-shaking changes. Magic seals were engraved on it in an orderly manner, as complex as the parts inside a fine watch.
But it only took a moment, and the spiritual fire went out as Li Hong closed his mouth. The surface of the peach wood sword seemed to be refurbished, emitting a bright precious light.
Since then, the peach wood sword has been refined by him into a magic weapon.
Chapter 28: Stay or Go (Old Version)
The peach wood sword suddenly flew down intelligently and stopped at Li Hong’s feet.
Li Hong took a step forward and stood directly on it, stopping steadily.
The next moment he flew out on the peach wood sword.
The figure shuttled between the tall buildings. The strong wind was blocked by a layer of faint golden light, and not even a strand of his hair fluttered.
If someone looks up in their spare time, they can see a figure flying by quickly.
Li Hong felt this feeling and found it somewhat strange. It was unlike walking on the ground. He could go in any direction he wanted.
At this moment, Li Hong turned his head slightly and saw a golden-red figure flying over the top of the building on the left in front of him. It was Iron Man, and he seemed to be about to go out.
Li Hong happened to be within his field of vision.
As soon as Tony flew out, he saw the screen in his helmet scanning the UFO in front of him and suddenly enlarged the image so that Tony could see it clearly.
Seeing the familiar figure standing on a sword, Tony couldn’t help but open his mouth wide. His heart was strongly shocked and he could not understand what he saw.
The next moment, he increased the power of the aircraft under his feet without hesitation, and the iron figure flew towards Li Hong quickly.
Li Hong looked at Tony Stark rushing towards him without changing his expression, but he didn’t want to be entangled by him, so he immediately used his magic power to control the peach wood sword, and flew forward at an accelerated speed without changing direction.
Tony, who was approaching Li Hong from the left, had a flash of eyes and a smile on his lips.
I can’t catch you this time!
He suddenly became excited and accelerated towards Li Hong, of course adjusting his direction according to Jarvis’ algorithm.
So with his current speed and Li Hong’s speed, they will eventually meet.
However, the next moment, a red light flashed in front of Tony, and his predicted trajectory was constantly adjusting.
This means that Li Hong’s speed is constantly improving.
Tony was slightly stunned. He didn’t expect the opponent’s speed to be so amazing that it had even surpassed his speed. But it was no problem.
He was right in front of Li Hong, and there was no way Li Hong could get away from him.
But reality soon slapped Tony in the face. The predetermined trajectory listed by Jarvis kept changing, and Li Hong’s speed was still increasing, as if there was no limit.
Tony’s face changed slightly. He really couldn’t understand why Li Hong was so fast.
But he didn’t think too much at this moment, and immediately increased the output power of the injector to the maximum, not believing that he could still escape.
Li Hong turned his head to look at Tony who was approaching him, raised his eyebrows and smiled. At this moment, they seemed to be very close in the air and would collide soon. Of course, this was only the perspective from the ground looking up at the sky.
There is actually quite a distance between them.
Li Hong raised his lips, with a smile in his eyes. At this moment, he felt like he was racing.
He has now reached the Golden Core stage, and even the Nine-Pattern Golden Core. The peach wood sword under his feet is not an ordinary object, but a refined magic weapon.
To the fairyland, he is still just an ant, but to mortals, he is already high above.
Li Hong’s mind moved, and the peach wood sword under his feet suddenly accelerated. His figure seemed to turn into a rainbow light, shuttling through the sky.
Tony could only watch Li Hong fly past him quickly, approach him quickly and then move away quickly.
Even if he maximized the energy output of the Ark reactor, he was still powerless. In the end, he could only watch Li Hong disappear into the sky, with no possibility of catching up.
On the virtual screen of his helmet, Jarvis calculated that Li Hong’s speed was already a terrifying number.
“Damn, how can he be so fast!”
Looking at Li Hong who had disappeared, Tony could only stop and said with an unwilling look on his face.
You should know that the speed of his steel armor is not inferior to some of the military’s top fighter jets. However, even with such a speed, he was still left far behind by Li Hong. This shows how terrifying Li Hong’s speed is.
Tony studied the effect he had just recorded and zoomed in on the thing under Li Hong’s feet. It was just an ordinary wooden sword and it was definitely not a flying vehicle.
At this moment, Tony just felt that he got to know Li Hong again. At first, he just regarded him as a person with some special abilities.
Now he had to change his mind. It was just like the flight recorded in the books he searched for, and the most critical speed was so outrageous.
This immediately raised Li Hong’s status in his mind by several levels.
After Li Hong got rid of Tony, he quickly arrived at Hell’s Kitchen.
Others could only see a rainbow light flashing before their eyes, and at most they were amazed and suspicious, but then they didn’t take it seriously.
Li Hong flew to the front of his office, took a step forward, stepped down from the peach wood sword and landed on the ground.
The peach wood sword then flew behind Li Hong and spontaneously entered the scabbard that was still tied behind him.
At this moment, the door of the office was open. When Li Hong walked in, he found Mindy and Stephen were inside.
One was reading a book, and the other was scrolling through his phone out of boredom.
When Mindy heard the footsteps, she immediately looked up and a sweet smile bloomed like a flower.
“Master, you’re back!”
He jumped in front of Li Hong and took the divination bag from Li Hong attentively.
“teacher.”
Seeing this, Stephen also stood up respectfully, but his expression was a little complicated.
Li Hong nodded slightly, handed the divination bag in his hand to Mingdi, and took off the peach wood sword behind him and hung it on the wall.
After this experience, both Mindy and Steve’s views on Li Hong have changed somewhat.
But Mingdy admires Li Hong even more and treats him as an immortal.
Steve’s situation was much more complicated. He originally thought that Li Hong was just a “doctor”, but now he saw with his own eyes that he could kill people without changing his expression, as if it was as simple as crushing an ant or slapping a fish to death.
Even if he killed a bad guy.
In addition, Li Hong also allowed him to see a completely different world. There were actually such things as demons. However, they could not survive for a short time under Li Hong’s hands. This was something he had never imagined before.
“Do you still want to stay?”
Li Hong sensed Steve’s complicated emotions and asked casually.
He didn’t really care whether Steve stayed or left, after all, he was just a registered disciple.
“certainly.”
Stephen said firmly without hesitation.
Although he felt complicated, this experience made him more determined to learn from Li Hong.
After all, the methods demonstrated by the teacher are very magical, but doesn’t this also mean that once he learns them, he can rely on talismans to heal more people!
Chapter 29 Preaching (Old Version)
“Okay, I won’t teach you anything else. I’ll only teach you the way of talismans.”
Li Hong then said that they had been receiving students for a few days and it was time to start formal teaching.
“The way of talismans is not simple. If you can reach the depths, you can also move freely and unimpeded in this world.”
Li Hong spoke slowly, and Stephen listened attentively.
Mindy was also on the side, silent. She seemed to be scrolling through her phone, but in fact, her ears had already been pricked up.
“I’ll show you how to do it, and I’ll point you in the right direction. Just watch.”
As soon as Li Hong finished speaking, he stretched out his finger under the gaze of Stephen and Mindy.
“A talisman is the way of heaven and earth written down on paper. The quality of the paper and other materials used to make the talisman determine the upper limit of the talisman’s power.
But if you achieve enlightenment in the future, you can also throw away the talisman paper and use the heaven and earth as paper. “
Li Hong used his fingers to make them vague in the air, and his fingers seemed to be stained with ink, leaving traces in the void.
In just a moment, a complex rune appeared, gathering together but not dispersing.
In an instant, the rune emitted lightning and there was a faint sound of thunder coming from the rune.
Li Hong wiped it with his hand, and the runes immediately dissipated, and the strange phenomenon disappeared.
“This is just a demonstration. If you have enough cultivation and enter the Great Dao, this small thunder talisman can create thunder that can destroy a city.”
Stephen looked at this scene in shock, and heard the teacher’s words. The thunder that destroyed a city was really terrifying, and he couldn’t help but ask curiously.
“Then teacher, can you do it?”
Mingdy also looked at Li Hong with curiosity, waiting for his answer.
Li Hong said this calmly, but it caused an uproar in their ears.
They knew that Li Hong was very strong, but they didn’t expect him to be this strong, like a god. Wouldn’t he be invincible in the world?
“Okay, this is just for your experience. Don’t aim too high.”
Li Hong only helped this nominal disciple to see the road signs in the distance. As for whether he could achieve this level, Li Hong felt it was uncertain.
It seems simple, but in fact it requires sufficient understanding of the great principles of heaven and earth. This is no longer within the scope of technique, but the Tao.
“Before I teach you how to draw talismans, I need to teach you a technique to cultivate your magical power before you can draw talismans.”
Li Hong then continued.
Even low-level talismans require some level of cultivation. After all, there is no spiritual energy in this world. Otherwise, even a copycat talisman can mobilize the power of heaven and earth.
The next moment, Li Hong suddenly stretched out a finger and pointed it directly between Stephen’s eyebrows before he could react.
In an instant, Stephen’s eyes became unfocused and his mind was wandering somewhere.
“What’s wrong with him?”
Seeing this, Mindy couldn’t help but ask nervously and curiously, her little hands clenched unconsciously.
“He fell into the illusion I created and learned the skills I passed down in the illusion.”
Li Hong answered casually.
When Mingdy heard this, she couldn’t help feeling a little disappointed, but she pretended to be calm. A hint of sadness flashed in the depths of her eyes. She thought that Li Hong did this just to prevent her from eavesdropping.
But this is normal. After all, she is not Li Hong’s disciple. Mingdy could only comfort herself in this way, but for some reason her fingers turned white from being pinched.
Seeing Mindy’s little emotion, Li Hong couldn’t help but shook his head. He immediately stretched out his hand and touched Mindy’s eyebrows, which immediately made Mindy fall into an illusion.
“I hope I won’t regret it in the future.”
Looking at Mingdy with a vague look in her eyes, Li Hong spoke softly, but the other party obviously didn’t hear him.
The cultivation method he passed down was different from what he practiced, and it was much simpler. Otherwise, they would not even be able to understand this set of exercises, let alone practice it.
Although the strongest can cultivate to the Nascent Soul stage, in Li Hong’s opinion, it is a rare blessing for Stephen to be able to cultivate to the Golden Core stage.
If one is diligent and hardworking, one can only reach the stage of building a foundation. After all, there is no spiritual energy in this world, and if one wants to practice, one has to tap into one’s own Qi.
If this is the case for the talented Stephen, one can imagine how Mindy feels.
I’m afraid I can’t even reach the stage of practicing Qi.
When it comes to the realm of Qi training, there is a distinction between innate and acquired. These two steps alone may be enough to hold Mindy back for life.
By then, the gap between Mindy and Stephen, who are practicing at the same time, will inevitably be huge.
Seeing that the two people were standing there stupidly, Li Hong did not wait for them, but sat down directly and began to study.
What he studied was nothing else but the gate that had taken root in his mind.
After many days, there were finally some changes.
Li Hong instinctively felt that as long as he activated the golden elixir and pushed the door with the power of the golden elixir, he could open the stone door and lead to another world.
Even though he didn’t know what kind of different world it was, he was still somewhat looking forward to it.
If there were a world with spiritual energy, it would not be as difficult for him to break through as it is now.
If there is sufficient spiritual energy, it is not impossible to ascend to become an immortal in one day.
But now is not the time to push the door.
An hour passed in a flash before Stephen and Mindy woke up one after another.
Stephen looked at him with eyes full of gratitude and respect, and bowed deeply to him, which Li Hong accepted calmly.
As for Mingdy, the look in her eyes when she looked at Li Hong did not change much, her eyes were still full of stars and joy was visibly visible, the corners of her mouth curled up, revealing a bright and lovely smile.
Afterwards, Li Hong did not teach much, but just let Stephen watch from the side while he drew talismans as before.
The talismans accumulated one by one.
However, the types of talismans drawn this time are very different from before.
Previously, Li Hong mostly drew thunder and fire talismans, but now there was not a single one. All of them were talismans such as protective amulets and house-guarding talismans.
Because now is different from the past, he no longer needs to rely on talismans to cast spells to reduce the cost.
He has enough mana to cast spells at will.
As for the places that cannot be reached by magic power, it is also difficult to draw with ordinary talisman paper and cinnabar, and new materials need to be found.
As for the amulets and house-guarding talismans he was currently drawing, Li Hong decided to treat them as income for the office and sell them.
The amulet can ward off certain disasters and is particularly suitable for Hell’s Kitchen.
The house-guarding talisman was the one that was activated when the three ninjas attempted to break into the office.
If you stick it at home, it can help to ward off malicious people or natural disasters.
That is to say, those ninjas were possessed by demonic power. Otherwise, with his house-guarding talisman, he would have no problem holding off the demonic power for a day and a night.
In the blink of an eye, it was afternoon. Li Hong casually handed Stephen and Mindy a few amulets and gave them a few days off.
Because he may have his own things to do these days.

Chapter 30: Another World (Old Version)
Late at night, Li Hong was alone in the office with the door locked.
He sat cross-legged on the mat, his expression not as calm as usual.
He took a deep breath and focused his attention on the stone gate in his mind.
The next moment, the stone door changed, and the patterns around it began to flicker.
When Li Hong opened his eyes, he saw a stone door in front of him, in the inner room of the office. It was exactly the same as the stone door in his mind, but it was much larger in size and looked like a normal door.
It just stands there alone, with no walls around it.
This is the projection of the stone gate in the world.
Li Hong opened his mouth slightly and mobilized the golden elixir in his body. The golden elixir instantly came out and hit the stone gate like a bullet.
He did not hold back and used all the power of the golden elixir, carrying endless momentum, all of it pouring on the stone gate.
However, even with such a full-force attack, the stone door only opened a tiny crack.
In front of this door, his extraordinary understanding lost its effect, as if it had been completely stripped away, and the only thing he could use was his own level of cultivation.
Li Hong’s eyes focused, and he continued to control the golden elixir and push it forward, still using all his strength. The stone door finally opened slowly bit by bit.
A few minutes passed in a flash, a thin layer of sweat had already appeared on his forehead, and the stone door was finally completely opened.
However, the other side of the door was filled with a layer of white fluorescence, and even he could not see what was behind the fluorescence.
Li Hong immediately stood up, swallowed the golden elixir back into his stomach, walked to the stone gate, and took the divination bag, peach wood sword and even the glass tripod that had been placed aside.
After all, he had to face an unknown world, so it was never too careful. There were a large number of talismans in his divination bag.
In addition to the amulets I drew today, there are also a large number of talismans left over from before.
After calming down a little, his face regained its composure and without any hesitation, he took a step forward. His body immediately came into contact with the white fluorescent light without any hindrance, as if the purpose of this fluorescent light was to prevent him from spying on the world behind and thus making him dare not move forward.
The next moment, his body passed through the stone gate, and Li Hong was surprised to find that there was no sense of stagnation.
He couldn’t help but be a little surprised. You know, no matter whether he used the skill of shrinking the earth into an inch or other methods, such a long distance could not be reached instantly. Even if the speed was very fast, he would still appear from one place to another. There was a long distance between the two.
This obvious distance can be perceived.
But this time, Li Hong did not feel anything unusual during the journey. It was as if the two worlds were seamlessly connected together, and it was impossible to tell the difference between you and me. It was really surprising.
When he appeared in this world, the first thing he sensed was the fragrant smell, with a hint of the aroma of nature’s soil.
Suddenly, the view in front of me became bright. The sky was gray and the sun was not visible, but that did not stop it from illuminating the world.
There seemed to be dense forests all around, and it seemed that he appeared in this forest.
Li Hong wanted to release his spiritual sense to perceive the world, but he felt his head sinking, and his heart sank. He couldn’t even release his spiritual sense!
He hurriedly mobilized his magic power, but found that all his magic power was gone, even the golden elixir was gone.
All of a sudden he turned into a mortal and felt extremely powerless, as if he had been in a state of prolonged weakness.
Li Hong frowned, sensing something unusual in his body, and it took him a while to discover what the problem was.
Got good news and bad news.
The good news is that his cultivation level is still there and he doesn’t have to work hard to cultivate it again.
The bad news is that recovery will take time.
The reason for this situation is mainly because of the stone gate, or rather, the way the stone gate teleported him to this world is somewhat strange.
He didn’t come over directly, but in a way similar to data transmission, a data synchronization.
The stone gate first teleported his body and soul over, which was the simplest thing.
Then his other data, that is, his cultivation level, will be transmitted over.
The synchronization has just begun and it will take a long time to be fully synchronized.
However, according to Li Hong’s budget, it would only take two or three days.
He then touched the bag on his waist, opened it, and saw that the things inside had not decreased. It seemed that his external belongings had been synchronized first.
He seemed to have returned to the beginning, but it was much better than the beginning, at least he had a lot of talismans.
There is also a glass tripod in the divination bag and a peach wood sword on his back.
However, compared to talismans, these two magic weapons are not as useful as ordinary talismans at present.
After all, it costs a lot to use a mortal body to drive a magic weapon.
After confirming the situation, Li Hong looked back and saw that the stone gate had disappeared.
Of course, this stone gate is just a projection of the stone gate in his mind. As long as he wants to leave, he can re-project it.
But this involves a problem. To open the stone door, one needs the power of the golden elixir, which means he has to stay here for at least a few days.
Li Hong then used his naked eyes to observe the surrounding environment, or this world.
This forest is very primitive and it seems that few people have set foot in it. There is no spiritual energy in this world, just like the original world.
But soon Li Hong’s eyes moved, as if he had discovered something. He came under a tree and looked at the plants growing on the roots.
It looks like a mimosa, but has small thorns on its leaves.
Li Hong’s eyes lit up slightly. The plant under his feet contained a unique energy. Although it was not spiritual energy, it was not too bad.
What surprised Li Hong was that this could barely be considered a spiritual herb, which also meant that he could use the plant to refine pills.
Although there is no spiritual energy, it seems that there should be no shortage of this kind of plants, which means that there are many resources that can be used in this world.
He immediately stretched out his hand, trying to pull up the plant by the roots.
But before he touched it, he saw the Mimosa move, and pounced towards his hand as fast as a poisonous snake, and the small thorns on its leaves were like its tongue.
Li Hong was not surprised, he had already seen that this plant was alive, and now he was just testing it.
When it was about to pounce on his fingers, a faint yellow light suddenly appeared and stopped the leaf tentacle.
It turned out that the amulet on his body was automatically activated.
However, the plant did not give up. Instead, it tried to bypass the faint light, but it was useless and was completely blocked.
Li Hong then stretched out his hand and took out a talisman from the divination bag.
Chapter 31 Hagrid (Old Version)
He took out a sealing talisman from his divination bag and threw it out casually.
The sealing talisman flew towards the plant like a swimming snake, nimbly dodging the tentacles, wrapping around the roots, and finally enveloping it completely like a python swallowing it.
At first, the plant was still struggling inside, but when the runes on the talisman paper emitted a faint light, it suddenly became quiet and stopped moving like a dead object.
Seeing this, Li Hongcai reached out his hand, pulled the plant, and put it into the divination bag along with the talisman paper.
At this moment, something strange happened.
A slight flapping sound was heard, and Li Hong turned his head to see a blue-green creature like a moth with a wingspan of half a meter swooping towards him, with what seemed to be fangs at the corners of its mouth.
Li Hong dodged its attack with a nimble move. Fortunately, even if only his physical body was synchronized, his original condition was also synchronized.
Seeing that it had missed its target, the giant moth flapped its wings and circled back, trying to continue the attack, but it saw a piece of yellow talisman paper in Li Hong’s hand.
The next moment, a fireball appeared out of nowhere and came towards the moth. Before the moth could react, it was hit by the fireball.
The result is naturally self-evident. The whole body was instantly ignited by the flames. It flapped its wings twice in panic, and its body was burned and fell.
By the time it hits the ground, the fire has died out because there is nothing to burn.
Looking at the insect corpses on the ground, Li Hong’s eyes flashed. It seems that there is still some danger here, but this is only for ordinary people.
Li Hong retracted his gaze and looked around. The forest was silent with occasional noises. It was obvious that there were many dangers hidden here.
He turned his head, chose a direction, and walked forward.
During the trip, we found many plants that could be used as medicinal materials for alchemy, but we did not collect them directly.
For him now, these are not the key points. The most urgent task is to explore this place and see if he can find any human habitation.
After walking for a while, Li Hong suddenly stopped and looked forward.
I saw a giant spider lurking in front of me, a giant spider!
Its entire body is comparable to a car, with two sections, the front section is smaller and the back section is larger. There are eight eyes arranged vertically on the left and right sides of the front section, and a pair of giant chelicerae in the front.
There are eight legs on both sides of its body, and each leg is covered with thorns.
At this moment, it was staring at Li Hong with its eight eyes, with a cold light in its eyes, as if it was looking at a prey caught in a spider web.
Li Hong narrowed his eyes, and felt that the spider in front of him was a little ugly, and there was a strong greed in its eyes, as if it was coveting his body. During this eye contact, saliva actually dripped from the corner of the other party’s mouth.
If it were a normal person, he would have been scared to the point of peeing his pants by the giant spider, but Li Hong remained calm. He took out a talisman from his fortune-telling bag and held it in his hand.
The giant spider did not pounce on Li Hong immediately, but observed him vigilantly, moving its eight legs from time to time, and seemed to have a bit of intelligence.
Li Hong did not make any other move and just watched it quietly.
A full minute passed before the giant spider could no longer resist its greed. Its eight legs suddenly twisted and its huge body moved towards Li Hong.
Just when Li Hong was about to activate the fire talisman, a loud noise suddenly came from one side of the forest and approached quickly, accompanied by a slight tremor of the ground.
A tall figure rushed out, scaring the giant spider. It quickly stopped and retreated quickly, but did not just slip away.
“Let’s go, get out of here!”
The tall figure stood between Li Hong and the giant spider, leaving his back to Li Hong. He held a folded pink umbrella in his hand and shouted loudly at the giant spider in an extremely rough voice.
Li Hong stared at the back of the figure, which was more than three meters tall and as sturdy as a pile of meat.
Then his gaze shifted to the pink umbrella in her hand. A strange color flashed in his eyes. He could see that this umbrella was no ordinary umbrella, but somewhat similar to a magical weapon.
And this giant seems to contain some kind of power like the plant just now.
Of course, the power of the two cannot be compared, the gap is too big.
Originally, he didn’t feel anything special when looking at this giant spider, but now, seeing a giant and a giant spider in the same sight, he couldn’t help but have a familiar feeling, as if he had seen it somewhere before.
Under the giant’s scolding, the giant spider couldn’t help but take a few steps back, but that was all. A few eyes stared at the giant vigilantly, and the rest of the eyes stared at Li Hong, as if it was still planning to attack him.
“Go, go slowly, don’t alarm it!”
The giant spoke in a slightly low voice, as if he was talking to Li Hong, and then he slowly backed away.
Li Hong had no objection and stepped back calmly.
The giant spider did not follow them, but just watched them leave until they were completely out of its sight.
After getting rid of the giant spider, the giant turned around, breathed a sigh of relief, and asked with a serious face.
“Who are you? Why are you here? And you’re a Muggle!”
“Forget it, it doesn’t matter. This place is too dangerous for you. Follow me and I will take you away.”
Without waiting for Li Hong to answer, the man sighed and said casually.
At this time, Li Hong actually already knew who the person in front of him was, and he also knew what kind of world this was.
Hagrid, Warden of the Forbidden Forest at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.
It seems that he is now in the Forbidden Forest near Hogwarts School, and the one just now was the giant eight-eyed spider.
Li Hong did not object and just followed Hagrid, ready to leave with him.
Hagrid led the way in front, without saying a word, but looking around vigilantly from time to time.
Just when they had walked for a distance, Hagrid suddenly stopped, and Li Hong seemed to sense something and turned to look in one direction.
I saw a black shadow flash by quickly, and there was more than one.
“Oh no!”
Hagrid’s face changed slightly, and he realized something.
The black shadow approached quickly, and it was the eight-eyed giant spider from before, but there were not just one, but three. It was obvious that the eight-eyed giant spider had called its companions again.
But for some reason, they did not take the initiative to move forward, but kept a distance from them, as if they were afraid of something.
“Keep going, they won’t dare to come over here with me here!”
Hagrid said with a serious face, he knew what these three eight-eyed giant spiders were afraid of. It was undoubtedly him. With the blood of giants, he could easily deal with the three eight-eyed giant spiders and knock them down with his body alone.
But once the war breaks out, he won’t be sure to save Li Hong, the Muggle.
Chapter 32 Hogwarts (Old Edition)
But this time Li Hong didn’t do as Hagrid said.
Staring at the three eight-eyed giant spiders with a fierce look in their eyes, one could see obvious desire in their eyes, a desire for human flesh.
Once the intelligence is awakened, it becomes a monster.
Although the world is different, in Li Hong’s eyes, this eight-eyed giant spider is a demon.
Originally, I didn’t take action because of Hagrid’s sudden appearance.
But now they are chasing closely and even calling their friends to come.
Man-eating beast!
Li Hong’s eyes flashed, and he decided to do his duty as a Taoist priest, which was to exorcise demons and monsters.
“You’re not so scared that you can’t walk, are you? Don’t be afraid, I’m here and nothing will happen!”
Hagrid noticed that Li Hong didn’t move, and immediately looked at him. He thought that Li Hong was so scared that his legs went limp and he couldn’t walk because he saw such a huge spider for the first time, so he immediately comforted him.
However, Li Hong did not reply, but took out three fire talismans from his divination bag.
Under Hagrid’s gaze, he threw the fire talisman out.
The next moment, three fire talismans flew out and dispersed towards the three eight-eyed giant spiders.
The eight-eyed giant spider looked at the flying yellow paper. Although it didn’t know what it was, it instinctively wanted to dodge it.
But as soon as they moved, the Fire Talisman changed direction in the air and chased after them.
“What’s this!”
Hagrid asked in a daze.
However, the next moment he saw the three pieces of yellow paper suddenly glow, and then flames inexplicably appeared on the bodies of the three eight-eyed giant spiders.
“His …
The eight-eyed giant spider felt a burning pain and immediately ran away in panic.
However, they were like flammable paper. In just a short while, the flames spread all over their bodies. They couldn’t help but let out a wailing cry, and walked around and even rolled in the forest in a panic. There was no other way.
Hagrid’s face changed and he looked at the three eight-eyed giant spiders in horror. Just when he was about to do something, he saw that the three eight-eyed giant spiders that had been burned into charcoal were no longer moving, lying quietly on the ground, and the flames slowly dissipated, leaving only the charred corpses on the ground.
“You killed them! Why?”
Hagrid immediately frowned, looked at Li Hong and questioned.
“Because they want to eat me.”
Li Hong said calmly.
“They won’t do that when I’m here, and this is where they live. You are the invader.”
Hagrid scolded angrily, and at this moment he had no time to think about what method Li Hong had just used.
From Hagrid’s perspective, Li Hong had no need to kill them, but he killed them anyway.
“They don’t dare to come up because of you, but I won’t.”
Li Hong looked at Hagrid calmly, without any ripples in his heart when facing the other party’s questioning.
They didn’t come up because they were afraid of Hagrid, but Li Hong would not avoid taking action against them because of Hagrid. This is the difference between Li Hong and them, so they died.
“Let’s go. Their companions will come over soon. I won’t hold back.”
Li Hong ignored Hagrid’s anger and walked forward while speaking.
Hagrid stood there with his beard puffed and his eyes glared, but finally followed.
After walking for a while, Hagrid broke the silence.
“You’re not a Muggle! What was that just now?”
Hagrid, who had calmed down a little, realized what had just happened and asked curiously.
“A spell.”
Li Hong said simply that even if Hagrid said more, he would not understand, this thing was not on the same level as magic.
“So what’s the purpose of your appearance here? Are you trying to poach magical creatures?”
As Hagrid was talking, he suddenly realized something and kept a distance from Li Hong with a vigilant look on his face.
“I just happened to pass by, but now I want to go to your Hogwarts to see it.”
Li Hong said frankly without looking back.
His knowledge of Hogwarts came from his mobile phone. Now that he has come to this world, he naturally wants to take a look at Hogwarts.
After all, we are here.
Besides, he was somewhat curious about magic and wanted to see how different it was from spells.
“That requires Dumbledore’s approval.”
Hagrid said immediately.
In the blink of an eye, the crowded view suddenly became bright, an ancient castle appeared in front, and from afar many owls could be seen circling above the castle spire.
In addition, there are some dark shadows floating outside the castle. If you don’t look carefully, you might think they are kites flown by someone.
But if you look closely, you can see that the shadows are like a torn robe.
“Those are Dementors. It was the Ministry’s idea. They said it was for the safety of the students. That’s crazy. Who could be more dangerous than these Dementors?”
Seeing Li Hong staring at the dark shadows in the sky, Hagrid immediately explained in a hoarse voice, and his words seemed to show his dissatisfaction with the Ministry of Magic.
“Come on, I’ll take you to see the headmaster, but don’t get your hopes up. Hogwarts is not a hotel.”
Hagrid shook his head and took Li Hong towards the castle, seemingly forgetting the conflict he had just had with Li Hong.
But just as they approached, the Dementors from the sky floated down as if they smelled meat, obviously heading towards them.
“Damn it, trouble is coming. Be careful and don’t irritate them. They are not wizards and have no reason.”
Seeing this scene, Hagrid’s face suddenly changed. Even he was helpless against these Dementors.
They came to hunt down the fugitive Sirius Black. They had seen Hagrid before so they would not come down normally. But now the appearance of a stranger like Li Hong would inevitably attract their questioning.
Soon, about five or six Dementors flew down, but they did not rush forward. Only one broke away from the group and rushed towards Li Hong.
Li Hong looked at the Dementor, which had only a hole on its face, but looked like it had eyes. It came in front of Li Hong and observed him carefully, as if comparing it with the wanted order issued by the Ministry of Magic.
Li Hong looked at the Dementors calmly. When they came a little closer, Li Hong felt an inexplicable force distorting his emotions, like a demon in his heart.
However, Li Hong’s enlightenment was very deep, and his state of mind far exceeded his cultivation level. Their distortion of the minds of the creatures around them was completely ineffective in front of Li Hong.
To the Dementors, Li Hong looked like a human, but they could not feel any emotions. He was like a pool of stagnant water or a dead object. Naturally, they had no interest in him. After confirming that Li Hong was different from the photo on the wanted poster, they abandoned him and flew back to the sky.
“Great, let’s go.”
Hagrid couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief when he saw this, and continued to move forward with Li Hong.
Soon they were approaching the castle. It was the end of get out of class time and many students could be seen walking outside the castle.
Chapter 33 This is not polite (old version)
Under Hagrid’s guidance, Li Hong walked through corridors and stairs.
Along the way, many people watched him curiously.
Just as they turned and walked up the stairs, a figure came towards them.
He had a gloomy and pale face, greasy hair hanging over his shoulders, and was wearing a black wizard robe. His eyes moved like a venomous snake, as if everyone was his prey.
This person was Snape. His eyes first fell on Hagrid, then on Li Hong, and his brows couldn’t help but frowned.
“How could you bring a Muggle into Hogwarts without permission? Someone who didn’t know would think you were the headmaster.”
Snape immediately sneered, seeming to have an objection to Dumbledore’s appointment of Hagrid as Professor of Magical Creatures.
“Professor Snape, I’m just about to take him to Professor Dumbledore. He’s not a Muggle.”
Hagrid couldn’t help but feel nervous when facing Snape, who was also a professor, and he quickly explained.
“I think I’m not blind. I can tell if he’s a wizard or not.”
Snape said in a cold voice, his eyes fixed on Li Hong.
Li Hong also looked over there, but felt that the gaze was like a black hole devouring something.
Li Hong couldn’t help but frown. He could feel obvious energy fluctuations falling on him, trying to read his emotions and even memories.
Telepathy!
Li Hong suddenly thought of this magic, which can spy on other people’s emotions and memories. He didn’t expect Snape to use it on him as soon as they met. This was very impolite.
His eyes flashed as he felt the magic power in his body. Almost an hour had passed since he came here, and he had already synchronized some of the magic power. However, his realm had not even reached the innate level, but he could mobilize some magic power.
Immediately, the hand inside the sleeve of his Taoist robe formed a spell, and his eyes instantly became sharp, as if a divine light flashed.
Illusion!
Snape was caught off guard and was hit directly, falling into a trance.
When he woke up, he suddenly found that the scene around him had changed and he appeared in a valley at night.
Snape frowned immediately. Although he didn’t know what was going on, he still took out his wand vigilantly and looked around.
Suddenly, thick gray fog filled the air and visibility was only two meters.
Weird!
Snape became more alert. On one hand, he was on guard against sudden attacks, and on the other hand, he was trying hard to recall.
How did he appear here? But no matter how hard he tried, he couldn’t remember, and he didn’t know what happened before that.
Suddenly I heard a faint sound coming from the front, but it was too far away so I couldn’t hear it clearly.
There was no other way at the moment, so he naturally went to take a look ahead and immediately walked quickly forward.
But as he got closer, he found that the sounds of the quarrel seemed very familiar, from both sides.
His face changed and he denied it repeatedly in his heart.
impossible!
However, he quickened his pace. As he got closer, he was able to recognize the conversation even though he couldn’t hear it clearly.
One is Voldemort! The other is…Potter, James Potter!
How is that possible? Voldemort is fine, but James was dead a long time ago!
At this moment, a voice resounding through heaven and earth appeared, accompanied by another fierce shout.
“Avada eats big melon!”
“Expelliarmus!”
Snape’s heart skipped a beat. These were clearly the Killing Curse and the Disarming Curse. The sound of the Killing Curse was obviously shouted by Voldemort.
Just when he didn’t know who would win or lose, a female voice came from the front, shouting loudly and sadly.
“James!”
At this moment, Snape’s face changed instantly. He recognized the voice immediately. It was Lily!
He could no longer remain calm and ran forward madly.
However, the fog was thick and it seemed that he could never reach the end.
Lily was right in front of me, but I couldn’t see her.
Suddenly, Voldemort’s voice sounded again, still casting the Killing Curse, which made his heart skip a beat.
Although I didn’t see the previous scene with my own eyes, I could roughly guess what happened just from the sound.
James Potter was apparently struck by Voldemort with the Killing Curse and died instantly.
Apart from Potter and Voldemort, he only heard Lily’s voice. It was self-evident who Voldemort was targeting with the Killing Curse.
No!
Snape’s expression changed drastically, showing extreme anxiety and deep regret, and he couldn’t help but pray in his heart.
It will be fine!
However, the sound in front of him completely disappeared, and the silence like death made his heart fall into the abyss, and it seemed that all hope was lost.
Just then the fog dissipated, and two figures suddenly appeared in front, but they were both lying on the ground.
“No! No!”
Snape shouted madly, with an unprecedented look of panic on his face.
However, when he got closer, he could see clearly.
There were more than two people on the ground. James Potter was lying on the ground without a sound. It was obvious that he had been dead for some time.
The other figure was Lily, who was lying on the ground with a baby in her arms.
Snape hurried over and found that Lily was still alive and there was a glimmer of light in her eyes. When she saw Snape appear, she raised one hand and opened her mouth slightly, as if she wanted to say something.
He quickly knelt on the ground, holding Lily’s hand, and with a panicked look on his face, he rummaged around on his body, trying to find the potion, but found nothing.
“Severus…Severus!”
Lily called out to him in a weak voice, as if she wanted to say something, and Snape quickly moved closer to listen.
Snape said without thinking, thinking that Lily wanted to entrust her child to him.
“I’ll take good care of Harry!”
However, that was not what Lily said. There was a hint of hatred in her eyes, and she asked with her last bit of strength.
“Why are you trying to kill me!”
Snape was stunned at that moment, and the hand he was holding fell to the ground, indicating that its owner was gone.
“No…No!”
Snape shouted in panic, burying his head deeply, his eyes full of pain, which eventually turned into tears rolling down.
“I’m sorry…I’m sorry…”
Snape apologized helplessly, repeating it over and over again, as if it was just this one sentence.
After an unknown amount of time, he heard a sudden noisy sound around him. He raised his head with lifeless eyes and looked around.
He saw that the scene around him had already changed. Many students looked at him with strange expressions, and there seemed to be uncontrollable smiles on the corners of their mouths.
Chapter 34 Dumbledore (Old Edition)
Snape’s eyes gradually regained color, but the tear marks on his face were still obvious.
Just then a figure walked out from the crowd. It was Professor McGonagall. She looked at him worriedly and asked with concern.
“Severus, are you alright?”
Snape suddenly woke up and took a look at the current situation. He was actually kneeling on the ground, his face suddenly darkening.
He suddenly remembered what had happened and did not answer Professor McGonagall. Instead, he stood up quickly, his face as gloomy as a dark cloud covering a city.
The faces of all the onlookers changed slightly, the faint smiles on their faces suddenly disappeared, and they chose to follow their hearts. To be honest, it was the first time they saw Snape with such a terrifying look, as if he wanted to eat them alive.
Their expressions were scary enough at normal times, let alone now, so they evacuated immediately.
Snape searched for the two figures in the crowd, but found nothing.
He remembered what he encountered before he became abnormal, that Muggle!
“Where’s Hagrid! And the guy next to him!”
Snape almost gritted his teeth to force the words out, almost breaking his teeth.
Professor McGonagall looked at Snape in confusion, not knowing what he had been through, but she did not hide it either.
“I saw him walking towards the principal’s office with someone.”
Hearing this, Snape took a deep breath, madness flashed in his eyes, and he pulled out his wand and walked angrily towards the headmaster’s office.
On Li Hong’s side, after casting an illusion on Snape, Snape fell directly into the illusion and stayed where he was.
Even when Hagrid spoke to him, he did not respond. Seeing this, Hagrid took the opportunity to take Li Hong away and continued to walk towards the principal’s office.
Li Hong also knew what kind of illusion Snape would encounter. It was not that he could not control it, but controlling it required continuous consumption of mana.
What he lacks most now is magic power, so naturally he will not use magic power to satisfy his curiosity.
However, as a spellcaster, he knew the power of his illusion. It was just to bring out the things that others feared the most.
In some ways, it’s similar to Dementors.
Dementors absorb a person’s happiness and bring back their most fearful memories.
But the illusion is a little different. It is something based on memory but also transcends memory.
Illusion can create an extremely realistic illusion in which people cannot detect any abnormalities at all.
At the same time, the illusion will evolve and move in the direction that the person being cast the spell least wants.
Powerful illusions can even make people addicted to them, unable to wake up for their entire lives, or even die in the illusion.
Li Hong was not going to kill a professor directly in Hogwarts, so he just gave him a lesson.
Led by Hagrid, they came to the principal’s office, where a griffin statue stood.
As Hagrid gave the command, the statue began to move, and the wall behind it also moved, revealing a spiral staircase behind the statue.
Going up the spiral staircase, they arrived at the principal’s office.
There was an old man with white hair and a waist-length white beard, wearing a pair of reading glasses. He raised his head slightly and looked at Hagrid and Li Hong.
“Who is…?”
Dumbledore asked confused, wondering why Hagrid would bring a Muggle to him.
“Professor Dumbledore, I met him in the Forbidden Forest. I wanted to visit him here. He is not an ordinary Muggle. He looks like he has mastered magic.”
Hagrid approached Dumbledore and said slightly stiffly that the centenarian had enough reasons to do so. He then told Dumbledore in detail what had happened in the Forbidden Forest.
Li Hongze waited quietly by the side, observing his surroundings.
It wasn’t much different from the principal’s office he remembered.
There were many portraits hanging on the wall, with figures walking around and observing him from time to time.
There was also a fireplace next to Hagrid with a fire burning in it.
What attracted Li Hong’s attention most was a fiery red phoenix standing on a bird stand, combing its hair with its beak.
Li Hong looked at the phoenix, which was arguably the most powerful creature he had seen along the way.
If the power within a wizard is called magic.
Then the magic power contained in the wizard’s body is less than one-fiftieth of that of the phoenix, and he is an adult wizard.
Of course there are exceptions, such as Dumbledore and Hagrid in front of us.
Hagrid’s magical power is roughly twice that of an adult wizard.
Dumbledore was a little scary. He seemed to have half the magical power of the phoenix. He was an inhuman existence among this group of wizards.
No wonder he is called the most powerful white wizard.
Of course, what Li Hong cares about is this phoenix, which can be compared to a spiritual beast.
If it is used to make pills, it will surely produce a furnace of good pills.
But this is obviously someone else’s pet and cannot be touched.
But if this was true for the phoenix, and other magical creatures as well, then it seemed that the world was not so bad for him.
After listening to Hagrid’s introduction, Dumbledore looked at Li Hong with a slightly different look.
“Please take a seat, my guest from afar. I am the headmaster of this magic school, Albus Dumbledore.”
“Li Hong.”
Li Hong introduced himself briefly, without any hesitation, and sat down directly opposite Dumbledore, with an office desk between them.
“When I was young, I traveled in the East and read some books that recorded existences like you. Unfortunately, I have never met you. The strange people who come to visit me are just people who are good at using tricks to deceive the eyes.
Of course, there are also wizards who use magic as a disguise, but have not discovered any power independent of magic.
I wonder if the old man would be lucky enough to see it today.”
Dumbledore crossed his hands on the table and said with some emotion, a trace of memory flashed in his eyes. It was really a distant memory.
Li Hong did not refuse. After all, the white-haired old man in front of him should be one of the rare strong men in this world, and the power he possessed should be no less than that of a cultivator.
Just when Li Hong was thinking about what to show, he heard hurried footsteps on the stairs behind him, as if someone was in a hurry to call him to task.
Suddenly he thought of how to show his power to Dumbledore.
Then he reached out for the fortune-telling bag, and at this moment Snape had already appeared in the office with a gloomy face. His eyes quickly scanned the room and fell on Li Hong.
Chapter 35: A Trial (Old Version)
Snape was looking aggressive, holding a wand in his hand. The moment he saw Li Hong, he couldn’t suppress his inner anger and raised his wand at Li Hong.
Li Hong calmly took out the glass tripod from the divination bag and placed it on the table, as if he knew nothing about what was happening behind him.
Seeing Snape so out of control and furious, Dumbledore frowned and asked gently.
“Severus, what happened?”
“Is it you?”
However, Snape did not answer. He came straight to Li Hong. The wand in his hand never deviated from Li Hong’s direction. He questioned Li Hong with a gloomy face.
Li Hong did not deny it and admitted it frankly.
Hearing Li Hong’s admission, Snape no longer hesitated. A cold light flashed in his eyes and he waved his wand.
“God’s sword has no shadow!”
At the moment Snape waved his wand, Dumbledore’s brows furrowed, and he realized something. He did not look like a hundred-year-old man at all. He immediately took out his wand and pointed it at Snape. His mouth moved slightly, and he was casting a silent spell.
However, Li Hong didn’t even make any other moves. He just looked at Snape calmly and let him cast magic.
The next moment, after the spell was finished, the expected magic spell did not come out. The scene looked a little funny, like a child waving a branch hoping to shoot out a sword wind.
Snape’s expression changed slightly. As a battle-hardened wizard, it was impossible for him to mispronounce the spell and cause the magic to fail.
He could feel the magic power in his body, but he was completely unable to mobilize it. It was on strike!
Not only Snape was surprised, but also Dumbledore who was standing beside him, because his magic was not released either.
Li Hong was not surprised at all. He turned to look at Dumbledore and asked softly.
“Principal Dumbledore, what do you think of this display?”
He just used the Glazed Tripod magic weapon as the center of the formation to set up a sealing formation.
Although magic power and magic power are slightly different, as long as he makes a slight change, this sealing formation can also seal the magic power of these wizards.
These magical powers are like mana. How can you perform magic without them?
“It’s incredible!”
Dumbledore’s face looked somewhat serious, with deep surprise in his eyes. After living for hundreds of years, it was difficult for him to feel surprised.
But Li Hong’s move really shocked him. He could sense that the magic power in his body was suppressed by a force, making it difficult to use.
However, Dumbledore felt that this force was not so strong that it was irresistible, but it was extremely subtle. If a method could be found, it would not be impossible to remove this restriction.
In addition, he can also rely on his huge magic power to break through by force, but even so, it will not be very effective against many wizards, because most wizards do not have such terrifying magic power as him and cannot break through by force.
So Dumbledore gave a very high evaluation.
Li Hong didn’t know what Dumbledore was thinking, and even if he knew, he wouldn’t care.
Because he was really just taking advantage of the situation, relying a little on the inherent pressure of the Glazed Tripod as a magic weapon, so the mana consumed was very little.
But he just wanted to suppress Snape, and Dumbledore was just implicated.
As long as we wait for his realm and cultivation to catch up, everything will be fine.
“What have you done to me!”
This abnormality did not make Snape more angry. Instead, it forced him to calm down and look at Li Hong vigilantly.
Of course, even when he was angry he would not solve the problem with his fists when he couldn’t use magic. That was not what a wizard does.
“Severus, you are too impulsive.”
Before Li Hong could answer, Dumbledore said seriously that Snape actually used dark magic.
Snape did not respond, but just looked at Dumbledore with a cold face.
“You go out first.”
Dumbledore could only say helplessly when he saw this.
Snape turned and looked at Li Hong gloomily, as if he wanted to curse Li Hong again if he could.
In the end, Snape left angrily, and Hagrid also walked out at the signal of Dumbledore.
Only Li Hong and Dumbledore, as well as the headmasters in the murals on the wall, were left in the room. They were observing Li Hong curiously. After all, there were only a few people who could make Snape lose face, but they did not make any sound.
Li Hong also took back the glass tripod, and at that moment Dumbledore clearly felt that the special repressive force in his body disappeared.
Dumbledore then pointed to the tea set on the table, an exquisite porcelain pot and a tall cup.
The next moment, the goblet was pushed by a force and came in front of Li Hong.
The exquisite porcelain pot flew up directly, and the spout fell over, with steaming liquid flowing out.
“Mr. Li, what brings you to Hogwarts?”
“I’m just passing by, but if possible, I hope to borrow your help for a while. I have some interest in magic.”
Li Hong picked up the teacup, took a sip, confirmed that it was undoubtedly black tea, and then spoke slowly.
Dumbledore did not answer immediately, but a trace of thought flashed in his eyes. After all, Hogwarts rarely had a history of asking for help, especially from outsiders.
“It is an honor for Hogwarts. You may visit as much as you like. I will ask our Professor McGonagall to accompany you.”
However, after thinking for a moment, Dumbledore agreed. The main reason was that Li Hong’s strength won his respect. At the same time, he had a good impression of Li Hong. He could tell at first glance that he was not a dark wizard.
“Thank you very much.”
Li Hong thanked him immediately.
Soon Dumbledore found Professor McGonagall and introduced Li Hong to her. He then asked McGonagall to make some arrangements for Li Hong. Naturally, McGonagall had no objection.
In a blink of an eye, Li Hong followed Professor McGonagall and appeared in the corridor of Hogwarts Castle.
At this time, school was over at Hogwarts, and there were many students in the corridor. When they passed by Professor McGonagall, they greeted her respectfully and looked at Li Hong curiously.
“Mr. Li, I wonder what happened between you and Professor Snape? I rarely see him so angry.”
Professor McGonagall asked curiously.
“He used Legilimency on me, so I taught him a lesson, and made him see the fear in his heart.”
Li Hong answered casually while observing the scenery inside the castle. In addition to the old walls and corridors, he could occasionally see slightly transparent ghosts moving around.
“I see…”
Magg nodded immediately, but did not explain anything for Snape. It was indeed like that with his personality, and this was also a drawback of Legilimency. If one has not reached a certain level, he will naturally use this magic.
Chapter 36: Settlement (Old Version)
Professor McGonagall took Li Hong on a tour of the castle and then took him to the teachers’ lounge.
“You can live here. This is usually a place for teachers to rest. There are also some lounges here.”
As Professor McGonagall spoke, she took out her wand and tapped it on the wall. A door without any handle attached to the wall opened immediately.
Inside was a simple single room with a bed taking up most of the space, but there was a large window, which provided good light.
Li Hong nodded. It was good to have a place to stay.
Seeing that dinner time had arrived, Professor McGonagall took Li Hong to the auditorium.
As soon as I entered the auditorium, I could feel the noisy sound. It was full of students and the atmosphere was very lively.
As Li Hong appeared, many curious eyes fell on him.
Finally he sat down in the professor’s seat at the front of the hall, with Dumbledore sitting next to him, smiling at him gently.
“Mr. Li, are you satisfied with your accommodation? Haha, of course even if you are not satisfied, this is the best we can offer, please forgive me.”
Dumbledore asked with a smile in his eyes.
“Yes, I am very satisfied.”
“That’s good, so what are your plans next?”
“I heard from Professor McGonagall that there is a library here. I wonder if it would be convenient for me to borrow some books. I know very little about magic.”
“Of course you can, but since this is your first time, the books in the restricted section are not suitable for you. You can borrow other books.”
Li Hong nodded. He knew that most of the books in the restricted area were related to black magic, but he was not interested in black magic.
In his eyes, black magic does not have much meaning, just like good magic and evil magic, there is no difference between them.
“What is Mr. Lee’s impression of us Hogwarts students?”
Dumbledore asked suddenly.
“Full of energy and vitality.”
Li Hong said briefly, looking forward, facing the students who were having their meals.
There seem to be four long tables, probably corresponding to the four colleges.
His eyes moved across the faces of these students, and he saw quite a few familiar faces.
“Are you interested in becoming a professor at Hogwarts?”
Dumbledore asked immediately, and it seemed that he had already set his sights on Li Hong.
Li Hong immediately shook his head and said casually.
“My powers are quite different from magic and are not suitable for students at Hogwarts.”
Although the essence of the power is not much different, are cultivation and magic the same thing?
“That’s a pity.”
Dumbledore said with some regret that he still admired Li Hong’s methods, but since the other party said so, he naturally did not force it.
The two continued chatting and soon finished their meal. Li Hong also returned to his room in the staff lounge.
Being bored, his cell phone couldn’t be used here, so he could only practice as usual.
However, I found that practicing can actually speed up the synchronization, which is not bad.
In a blink of an eye, the sky outside was bright and a long bell rang. Li Hong opened his eyes with bright eyes, feeling the power coming into his body.
This night of practice allowed his cultivation to return to the foundation-building stage, and his magic power suddenly became abundant.
At this rate, I should be able to recover full strength by tomorrow morning, and then I can open the stone door and return at any time.
The students of the school have already started classes, and Li Hong came to the Hogwarts library and started reading.
He mainly read some spell books. Although the powers he possessed were different from those in the books, he still enjoyed reading them.
Time passed quickly and it was afternoon. Li Hong closed the book in his hand. He read very quickly and had read all the spell books he could. He also had a better understanding of magic.
He put the book back on the shelf, walked out of the library, and made his way outside the castle.
Finally, he stopped under a big tree, bent down and picked up a dead branch that had fallen on the ground. The length was just right.
He was going to make a magic wand, which was easy for him.
The thing that was most in short supply in the school was magic wands. He only took a glance and roughly understood the principles of the magic wands.
In fact, it is just a wooden stick that can better control magic power.
Li Hong could see the essence of magic.
It can be said that it is innate, or it can be said that it is the power brought by blood, and it is basically fixed.
The purity of blood determines the amount of magic power.
So in Li Hong’s eyes, the pure-blood theory is indeed not without reason. Magic power comes from blood, and once it is mixed with Muggle blood, it will dilute the blood of the new wizard, and the magic power will naturally be less.
Of course the difference isn’t that big, but this is for wizards from wizard families.
It would be interesting if the wizard was born into a Muggle family.
He discovered that some of these Muggle wizards who were considered genetic mutations had no less magical power than pure-blood wizards, but it was like a lottery.
Wizards from wizarding families have a guaranteed chance, but wizards from Muggle families do not, it all depends on luck.
However, in Li Hong’s eyes, the magic power of pure-blooded and half-blooded people is just so-so. If compared with the realm of cultivators, it can be regarded as the realm of Qi training.
Naturally stronger than mortals, but not completely beyond mortals.
But compared with the magic power of monks, their magic power is very chaotic and disordered, so they need a magic wand.
A magic wand is equivalent to the rifling on a firearm, with a specific track. When magic power is injected into it, it will be forcibly shaped into an orderly state, making it easier to cast spells.
And with Li Hong’s refining skills, it would be extremely easy to refine such a magic wand.
The refining of magic tools is much more complicated than this, it only has the function of forcibly restraining magic power.
Li Hong did not use spiritual fire to refine the weapon. He just stretched out two fingers and put them together. His fingertips slid across the tree branches, and the magic power in his body flowed out.
Wherever the magic power passes, it is transformed. In terms of the technique of refining equipment, it is to use powerful magic power to remove impurities from the refining materials and refine the materials.
When Li Hong’s fingers slid across the top of the branch, the branch had undergone a drastic change and became the embryo of a magical weapon.
All you have to do is brandish the corresponding Dharma seal into it.
Li Hong pinched the spell and struck it directly into the tree branch. The branch then emitted a faint light and quickly retracted.
In this way, the magic wand has been successfully refined and can of course be considered a magic weapon.
Different from the wands used by ordinary wizards, this wand can not only forcibly restrain magic power, but also output magic power efficiently.
Chapter 37 Want to make money (old version)
Under the same magic power, the energy will be reduced by about half after being output through the magic wand.
The magic wand refined by Li Hong has a magic power consumption of less than 10%, and its power is about twice that of an ordinary magic wand.
But his wand is much more than that.
The principle of a magic wand is to allow magic power to be output in an orderly manner, but the principle of a magic weapon is not that.
If you just want to output your own mana, then why do you need magic weapons? It will be the same and more convenient to just use magic spells.
The charm of magic weapons lies in that they can enhance the power of magic, and through magic weapons one can achieve power that cannot be achieved by itself.
For example, the wand in his hand now is like this.
Although Li Hong made it casually, with his attainments in refining tools, he would not be able to produce a low-quality magic weapon even if he did it casually.
Therefore, the wand can actually be increased to about five times its power.
In other words, the magic power output by the other wands will be ten times that of this wand.
For any wizard, this is probably a magical artifact.
Li Hong held the magic wand in his hand and pointed it forward. A beam of magic light shot out and landed in the air.
Although he has no magic power, he can simulate magic power with mana.
Moreover, after reading the spell book for an entire afternoon, Li Hong had already studied magic thoroughly.
In a way, it is similar to magic, but it requires the help of spells, which is quite troublesome.
In Li Hong’s opinion, the reason why magic requires spells is because the magic power is chaotic.
The so-called spell is actually to put one’s mental will into a fixed state so that the magic can take effect.
A spell is like a key, different keys can open different doors.
However, for Li Hong, he could create a master key, so there was no need for the so-called spell.
Of course, even Li Hong had to admit that magic had its own unique advantage, which was that it could be used at will.
This is difficult to achieve even with magical powers, but each has its own advantages.
Li Hong then put away his wand and returned to the castle.
There was no need to go to the library anymore; he no longer needed it.
He did not forget the most important goal of this trip, which was to collect materials for alchemy.
Although there are many magical plants in the Forbidden Forest, Li Hong does not want to pick them by himself as it is too inefficient.
In a place where there is a market, it is natural to spend money to buy faster.
However, he doesn’t have any currency from this world on him now, so he needs to earn some Galleons. Remember this is the name of the wizard’s currency.
Li Hong walked in the castle, thinking about what was the best-selling thing in the world.
Wand? Potions? Broomstick?
In another world, Li Hong did not have a strong desire to make money, because money could not bring him anything that interested him enough.
But this world is different. Garlon can be exchanged for alchemy resources, which is enough for him to pay attention.
After thinking about it in the end, Li Hong believed that his solution was still the elixir.
Wands? Does the world really need such powerful wands? Especially in a peaceful era, although the British wizarding world is still facing many crises, if the crisis does not break out, not many people will need them.
Anyone who needs the magic wand is an ambitious person, and if the magic wand falls into their hands, it will only add to his karma.
The same goes for potions; they are not a necessity.
As for the flying brooms, he could make some and sell them as luxury goods, but Li Hong was not sure whether he could sell them.
Therefore, Li Hong felt that elixirs were more reliable. Although there was no demand for them among wizards, he could create demand.
Li Hong already had a preliminary idea in his mind. It would be best if he could expand the target customers to all wizards to the greatest extent possible. In this way, he would definitely be able to make a lot of money.
After all, if everyone gave him one Galleon, he could amass a large amount of wealth in an instant.
The problem now is how to get all the wizards to give him one Galleon, or even ten Galleons.
Li Hong already had the answer in his heart, and that was magic.
The foundation of a wizard’s existence is magic, and the power of the spell he casts depends on magic.
It’s just that wizards are not aware of this problem, because to them, the magic power of each wizard is roughly the same, so no one cares at all.
As for the theory of bloodline they pursue, it is actually just a pursuit of privilege, not really knowing the slight differences in the magic power of pure-bloods and half-bloods.
But what if he could create a pill that could increase a wizard’s magic power?
When the magic power of the wizards around them is suddenly about twice as strong as theirs, can they still sit still?
The difference of one times the magic power will be obvious when casting spells.
For example, what Li Hong knew, the Iron Armor Curse.
A protective spell that can block attacks from other people’s spells.
But once the magic power is doubled, the Armor Spell can withstand more hits.
Secondly, if an offensive spell is cast, the Armor Curse can be broken faster if the magic power is doubled.
The same goes for other spells. Once the magic power increases, the difference will be very obvious.
When there is no demand, he creates demand. If someone around him is willing to pay for the pills, everyone will do the same, and eventually they will have to pay for his pills.
Although it is not very moral, it is indeed a move that benefits wizards.
Although the overall level was raised in the end, which is equivalent to no improvement, there are still changes for the magical animals outside.
Li Hong stopped outside an office unknowingly. When he looked up, he saw that it was Snape’s office. It was not a wrong choice.
After all, alchemy requires materials, and as a professor of Potions, Snape must have collected a lot of magical materials.
Li Hong just stood here quietly waiting for Snape to finish the get out of class, without considering at all that there was a grudge between him and Snape.
I don’t know how long it was before the bell rang for the end of get out of class and many students appeared in the corridor.
After a while, Li Hong saw Snape walking towards him.
The moment he saw Li Hong, his already gloomy face became even gloomier, and he had already pulled out the magic wand in his hand.
He hasn’t forgotten yesterday’s grudge!
Li Hong couldn’t help but raise his eyebrows when he saw Snape’s actions. He had actually forgotten about this. After all, he didn’t hold grudges.
Now that he has recovered to the foundation-building stage, he can suppress it with ease, so there is naturally nothing to worry about.
But since the other party wants to play, he can play along.
Then he reached into his fortune-telling bag and pulled out his magic wand.
Seeing the wand in Li Hong’s hand, Snape immediately understood what the other party meant. He wanted to duel with him, which was even better!
The only thing he was afraid of was Li Hong’s inexplicable methods, but when it came to magic duels, he was not afraid!
Chapter 38 Showdown (Old Version)
Snape waved his wand directly across an empty corridor, and the moment the wand pointed at Li Hong, magic light was instantly emitted.
The rapidly flying demonic light arrived in the blink of an eye.
But its speed is slightly slower than that of a bullet, so at least you can see the trace of the flying magic light.
Li Hong looked calm and composed. When he saw the spell coming, he raised his wand calmly and used his magic power to simulate the magic power and inject it into the wand, so that it gathered at the tip of the wand without dispersing.
The final precise point was above the spell, and the magic light dissipated in an instant.
The effect of the spell was offset by pure magic power.
Seeing this, Snape’s face darkened slightly. Knowing that he had met a dueling master, he immediately continued to cast spells.
Li Hong raised his magic wand and used his weapons to block all the incoming spells.
Magic lights kept flying out in the corridor like bullets, and various lights flickered in the Hogwarts Castle.
This naturally attracted the attention of the students after class.
“It’s Snape, he’s dueling with someone!”
Suddenly someone noticed and shouted. In an instant, the students around them walked to the railings of the corridor and looked down at Snape and Li Hong.
Soon the corridors upstairs and downstairs were filled with students, staring at the scene with wide eyes.
“Who is that person? I’ve seen him in the auditorium before. Could he be the new professor?!”
Someone immediately asked, and a noisy discussion broke out.
“No, I heard from others that this is a traveler from outside, temporarily staying in Hogwarts.”
Someone answered immediately.
There are no secrets in Hogwarts. When Li Hong showed up on the first day, someone had already inquired about it and the news spread quickly.
He looks so handsome. Do you think he can beat Snape?
Some people couldn’t help but marvel at the sight of Li Hong blocking all of Snape’s spells with just a wave of his hand, and looking very calm, and couldn’t help but sigh.
“I don’t know, but I hope so!”
Someone said with anticipation.
Meanwhile, in the other corridor, the trio of Harry, Ron and Hermione were watching their confrontation.
“Is this the guy Hagrid was talking about? He looks so strong!”
The red-haired Ron said with his eyes wide open and his voice hoarse.
“According to Hagrid, this man has some strange methods, which are different from our magic. Maybe he can beat Snape!”
Harry said this excitedly, wishing he could cast a severe curse on Snape himself.
“It’s hard to say. Snape can become the head of Slytherin, so he must be at least an outstanding one. He may not be serious now.”
Hermione held the book in her arms across her chest and analyzed rationally.
In fact, this is true. Snape has not yet taken any real action. He is just testing the waters.
However, the result of the test was not optimistic. Li Hong’s ability to use the magic wand to resist the spell showed that the other party was not a good person.
But Snape was not like that. After the test, he started to take real action.
The next moment, Li Hong also felt something. He saw that Snape was casting the spell faster, almost instantly, without any pause in between.
Several magic spells came swarming in all of a sudden. Not only were they released faster, but the speed of the magic light was also faster. It was completely different from the previous attacks.
In the students’ eyes, the images they see are as if they have pressed the accelerator key and are viewing them at twice the speed!
Ron’s eyes suddenly widened in disbelief. He had previously thought that Snape was just a little older than them and knew more spells than them, but there was not much difference between them. If they really started fighting, it would be hard to say who would win or lose.
But now I just feel that I thought too simply. With the strength Snape has shown now, he might have several spells cast on his face as soon as he took out his wand.
The spell came in an instant. Li Hong raised his eyebrows slightly, and did not resist with the magic wand, but released the spell.
He struck back and fired three magic spells in an instant with precise aim, completely offsetting the three oncoming magic lights.
Snape’s eyes turned cold upon seeing this. He had already sensed that Li Hong was not easy to deal with. His strength was evident from the move he just made.
The speed of releasing the spell was even faster than his, and the speed of the spell flying was no slower than his.
You have to know that Snape was able to achieve this level after years of practice.
On the one hand, you have to master the spells by heart. Casting spells silently and without a wand is the most basic requirement. Only when you reach this requirement can you be considered acquainted with the basics.
It takes years of long-term practice to improve the casting speed little by little. The more you use it, the faster it will be released.
He can probably now perform three spells in an instant.
The speed at which the spell is cast also requires a lot of practice.
This depends on the size of the magic power. The more magic power you inject into the wand, the faster it will shoot out.
The young wizard has no such concept, but an old wizard who is skilled in combat understands this deeply and it is not that simple.
This cannot be achieved by simply injecting more magic power into the wand. The magic power used by ordinary wizards to cast a spell is a standard amount, and the magic power consumed by most wizards to cast the same spell is basically the same.
If you want to increase the injection of magic power, you need special practice.
Because magic power is chaotic and difficult to control, if you want to increase the amount of magic power injected, you need a higher level of control over the chaotic magic power, making it ‘obedient’ and thus able to control it.
However, mastering magic is a long process of taming, which also requires years of accumulation.
Li Hong looks very young, but he actually does better than him. It can only be said that he is gifted. There are always people who can do this and stand out. They are very powerful at a young age, such as Voldemort back then and Dumbledore when he was young.
“Hiss! How come they are so strong!”
Harry asked in disbelief, feeling as if the sky had fallen. Snape, whom he had always looked down upon, displayed such overwhelming strength. Even if it was justified, it was more painful than killing him.
The duel continued, the magic light flew out rapidly like fireworks, and the lights of different colors continued to illuminate the shocked faces of the students watching in the corridor.
Now they knew why Snape was the head of Slytherin.
However, even though Snape’s skills were already amazing in the students’ eyes, he still couldn’t do anything to Li Hong, and even seemed to be handling it very easily.
This immediately aroused the expectations of all the students except Slytherin House. They stared at the scene intently, fearing that they would miss the wonderful moment if they blinked.
Chapter 39: This is a big deal (old version)
Snape’s face became increasingly gloomy. All the direct spells were blocked by Li Hong, and the opponent had not yet launched an attack. It could only be said that he was handling the situation with ease.
He immediately pointed his wand upwards, and magic light instantly surged out, no longer shooting towards Li Hong, but falling on Li Hong’s head.
In an instant, pythons appeared out of thin air above his head and fell towards Li Hong with bloody mouths open.
Seeing this, Li Hong raised his wand and pointed at them. Before they landed, they flew out in panic and headed straight for Snape. In the end, they had to change their target and flew towards Snape with their bloody mouths open and their fangs exposed, trying to bite a bloody hole in Snape’s body.
Snape’s face darkened and he cast a counter-spell to directly cancel the spell of the dragon escaping the cave, and several pythons disappeared instantly.
Snape turned his wand and pointed it to the side. The spell fell on the iron armor standing nearby. In an instant, the iron armor dispersed and turned into sharp knives that shot straight towards Li Hong. The blades were sharp and dazzling, cutting through the air and shooting towards him at a high speed.
The Ten Thousand Bullets Spell plus the Transfiguration Spell!
Li Hong remained calm and pointed his wand forward. In an instant, blue flames emerged from the tip of the wand, shooting out beams of magic light which collided with the oncoming knife and knocked the knife away. The knife fell to the ground in all directions, making a clinking sound.
Flying sand and rolling stones curse!
This is a spell that Li Hong saw in a less popular book in the library. It is quite useful to cast.
“It’s wonderful!”
Harry’s eyes lit up slightly under his glasses, and he wanted to applaud on the spot. Of course, even if he applauded, it would be for Li Hong.
Li Hong has almost figured out Snape’s limits and is not going to continue playing tricks on him. He is ready to end this duel.
He simply cast a disarming spell at Snape.
It’s just that he used some of the power of the magic wand, with the blessing of the special magic wand in his hand.
A huge red magic light emerged from the tip of his wand, instantly illuminating the somewhat dim castle, as dazzling as a flare.
If the spell released by Snape is equivalent to a rifle bullet, the light is dazzling but only as thick as a pigeon egg.
At this moment, the red magic light released by Li Hong was like a cannonball, as big as a bowling ball.
His normal-sized wand was like a cannon barrel, instantly blasting out the terrifying red cannonball.
The spell is fired at the same speed as a real cannonball.
A flash of red light appeared, bright enough to illuminate the entire castle.
Snape’s face was flushed, his eyes were full of astonishment and confusion, but the moment he saw the dazzling red light, let alone resisting and dodging, he was knocked away by this horrible spell before he could even react.
It flew from one end of the corridor to the other, and finally stopped when it hit the wall.
A magic wand flew over quickly and landed in Li Hong’s hand.
In an instant, the entire castle fell silent. All the students watching had dazed expressions on their faces, as if they were unable to think straight.
What did they see?
Is that a curse? ?
How can that be a curse?! You must be kidding!
A full half minute passed before the dazed student came to his senses.
The next moment the entire castle rumbled, and the boiling sound seemed to be about to blow off the entire roof of the castle.
“Oh my god! What did I see, is that a spell?!”
“Merlin, he must be Merlin reincarnated!”
“Oh my god, he’s not a wizard, he must be a fire dragon transformed!”
Everyone looked excited, their faces flushed, and they shouted loudly in a somewhat crazy manner. Their words had no meaning, only their emotions were expressed.
Everyone was like this, even the Slytherins couldn’t remain calm and didn’t even care whether their head of house lived or died at the moment.
Dense noises spread throughout the castle. People were excited and crazy, looking at Li Hong’s calm face eagerly, as if they were looking at a god.
Harry and Ron were the same, too excited to speak, hugging each other and waving their fists in the air.
Hermione was also shocked by this scene that went against her worldview. She felt dizzy and as if she was lacking oxygen.
The last time her worldview was so overturned was when she received the admission letter from Hogwarts.
The boiling sound soon attracted the professors, including McGonagall, Dumbledore, and professors from other colleges.
Dumbledore’s face was serious. He didn’t know what was going on. He wanted to find a student to ask what happened, but they were so excited that they couldn’t speak clearly. They could only point at Li Hong who was standing in the corridor downstairs.
Of course they tried to calm the students down, but found that they couldn’t do it no matter what. It seemed that only magic sedatives could calm them down a little at this moment.
Finally they arrived at the floor where Li Hong was, and saw Snape lying unconscious at the end of the corridor, and Li Hong holding two wands in his hands, and they immediately walked over quickly.
“What happened?” Dumbledore stopped in front of Li Hong and spoke in a serious tone.
Professor McGonagall walked past Li Hong and quickly towards Snape, apparently to check on Snape’s current condition.
“Professor Snape seemed to want to spar with me, so I satisfied him. He should be satisfied too.”
Li Hong said this with an innocent look on his face, but this is the fact.
Dumbledore had a strange look in his eyes, it didn’t sound like a big problem, but his heart was full of doubts.
If it was just a duel, then why were the students around so excited? Was it because Snape was defeated and everyone was happy? Although this was possible.
And Snape was a professor of Slytherin after all, so he had some confidence in Snape’s dueling ability. But why did Snape faint directly, and even his wand was confiscated? What happened? He asked immediately.
“Oh, they’re probably cheering for the duel.
As for Professor Snape, I was very careful with my actions and only used the Disarming Charm.”
Li Hong looked calm and answered truthfully, then handed Snape’s wand to Dumbledore.
This is also because of the special nature of the Disarming Spell. It is not some kind of attack magic. Otherwise, Snape would not just be able to fly away.
As for why he felt dizzy, a normal person would also feel dizzy if hitting a wall at that speed.
At this moment, Professor McGonagall came over and said with a heavy face, “Severus is injured. I will take him to see Madam Pomfrey first.”
Dumbledore said nothing, but nodded.
Professor McGonagall just glanced at Li Hong with a complicated expression, then turned around and asked several students to help the unconscious Snape to the school hospital.
ps: Asking for flowers, evaluation votes, and various data
Chapter 40: Advance Publicity (Old Version)
“Don’t you know magic? And this wand…”
Dumbledore was also confused by Li Hong. He took Snape’s wand and looked at the wand in Li Hong’s hand.
Based on his understanding of magic wands, the wand in Li Hong’s hand was a bit simple, like a branch picked up from the roadside.
You can tell at first glance that this is not a wand produced by Ollivanders. The wands produced by Ollivanders go through a series of procedures, including oiling the wand and air-drying it to make its surface smooth.
Moreover, in his eyes, Li Hong is a mysterious oriental force independent of magic. How come he can even use magic now?
“I learned it today after reading the spell book in the library all day. As for this wand, I made it myself.”
Li Hong told the truth.
But this made Dumbledore’s eyelids twitch. Can this magic be learned all at once? And in his perception, Li Hong didn’t even have magic.
But Dumbledore had no choice but to accept this in the end. He sighed softly and decided to ask Snape about this matter to know whether what he said was true.
Dumbledore then went to the school hospital to check on the situation, and Li Hong returned to the staff lounge.
Although there were many young wizards of various grades following along, they were all excited and wanted to say something to Li Hong.
However, they found that although Li Hong seemed to be walking slowly, he was actually walking very fast. Even if they ran to catch up with him, they were left behind. In the end, they could only watch him walk into the staff lounge.
In a blink of an eye, it was dinner time and Li Hong appeared in the auditorium.
The sharp-eyed student noticed him at once and whispered to his friend next to him.
Gradually, the students who were discussing excitedly quieted down and all looked at Li Hong with expectation in their eyes.
Before he walked to the professor’s seat in front, the entire noisy environment became quiet.
“Mr. Li, can you tell us how that spell works?”
Fred Weasley, the red-haired boy from Gryffindor, stood up, looked at Li Hong with admiration, and asked curiously. It sounded like he even knew Li Hong’s name.
The auditorium fell silent in an instant, and every little wizard pricked up their ears and listened carefully.
“If you have enough magic power, you can do it.”
Li Hong didn’t stop, but answered.
“How can I increase my magic power?”
George Weasley also stood up and asked closely.
These words immediately made Li Hong pause, and he slowly turned around to face the two young men from Weasley.
“There are many ways, such as meditation, which can allow you to control chaotic magic and increase excess magic.”
Li Hong answered generously.
Of course, this is just a simple solution.
Meditation does allow them to control chaotic magic, and over time they can reach Snape’s level, making spells faster and more powerful.
As for adding extra magic, yes, there is, but not much.
It all depends on how you meditate.
He didn’t know what method Dumbledore used to make his magic extraordinary, far exceeding that of adult wizards and even reaching the level of magical creatures.
But he had analyzed magic power, so he could simulate magic power with mana, so he knew that meditation had an effect on enhancing magic power by developing unstimulated potential in the body.
If you just close your eyes and empty your mind and body to meditate, the effect won’t be very obvious.
Therefore, how to meditate is very important, which belongs to the level of cultivation. He can easily create a meditation method that can effectively increase magic power, as simple as drinking water.
However, it seems that there is no such meditation method in the magical world, otherwise there would not be much difference between all the wizards in Hogwarts except Dumbledore.
“In addition, there are also potions and some special magical plants that may enhance magic power after swallowing.”
“If there is such a potion, why haven’t I heard of it?”
The blond Malfoy immediately stood up, his eyes shining, and questioned.
As a member of a pure-blood family, wealth and knowledge will be passed down with the inheritance of blood, so naturally you will know more.
But he had never heard of a potion with such an effect, otherwise his family would have gotten it and swallowed it long ago.
Li Hong immediately turned around and looked over there, saying calmly: “Maybe no one has figured it out yet, but you can wait a few days and I can show you a little bit.”
Malfoy’s questioning was exactly what he wanted, so he immediately took it as advance publicity and spoke it out.
“Okay, I’m not your teacher. If you have any questions, you can go to your professor for answers.”
Li Hong’s goal had been achieved, so he naturally didn’t want to continue answering questions endlessly. Given the curiosity of these little wizards, he was afraid that the conversation would not be finished until tomorrow, so he interrupted them immediately.
Then he turned around and walked towards the teacher’s seat.
“Will you be our professor then?”
Seeing this, Fred quickly asked the last question, which was also the question that everyone was most looking forward to.
After seeing Li Hong’s magic spells, they naturally hoped that Li Hong could be their professor.
“Won’t.”
Li Hong said without turning his head.
In an instant, all the young wizards in the classroom showed disappointed expressions, even a proud student like Malfoy. Although he had doubts, he was not stupid. Of course he wanted to learn magic at the level displayed by Li Hong!
Li Hong arrived relatively early, and he was the only one eating in the professor’s seat.
When they were almost halfway through the meal, an adult wizard walked in. He had soft hair close to his scalp and a small mustache. It was Professor Lupin, the Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher. He hurried to the professor’s seat, greeted Li Hong briefly, and sat down to eat.
Li Hong glanced at Lupin and noticed something was wrong with him. Then he looked away and continued eating, thinking casually.
He remembered that Professor Lupin was a werewolf. Once transformed, he would bite everywhere without any reason, and anyone bitten would be infected and turned into a werewolf.
Now I can definitely see it and I know the reason.
It can be considered a poison or a curse.
Like a magical power, there is a special magic in his body that is possessed by his blood.
This magic power is essentially the same as the magic power of a wizard, but it has a slightly evil nature. When the moon is full, this magic power will riot and force it to deform.
It can be considered as some kind of magic with special properties.
Li Hong was daydreaming while eating.
However, this magic power is not innate, but brought from outside, and it cannot be integrated with one’s own magic power, so it can be regarded as a curse.
But if one could tame this special magic power and merge it with one’s own magic power, it would be a method of increasing magic power as he just mentioned, and it could almost double the magic power.
Moreover, compared to ordinary magic, this kind of magic with special properties is naturally more popular.
After integrating with one’s own magic power, it can even transform the original magic power into magic power of the same attribute. At that time, it will have the ability to transform into a werewolf at will.
Moreover, the transformed werewolf can be regarded as a magical creature, not an ordinary werewolf.
It can be considered an alternative form of Animagus human transfiguration, and it even breaks through the limitation that it cannot transform into magical creatures.
It’s such a good method that no one has discovered it. It’s such a waste.
Thinking of this, Li Hong couldn’t help but shook his head. This method was not difficult. If a wizard spent time studying it, he might be able to discover it.
Chapter 41 Conditions (Old Version)
Unfortunately, until he finished his meal, he still didn’t see Snape. He wondered if he hadn’t woken up yet.
Li Hong was not in a hurry and got up and returned to the staff lounge.
In the blink of an eye, it was the next morning. Li Hong, sitting on a cushion made of a pillow, slowly opened his eyes.
After one night, his cultivation realm was completely synchronized. At this moment, a golden elixir was lying quietly in his dantian, surrounded by wisps of true qi condensed into mist.
Today is Saturday and the professors don’t have classes.
After leaving the staff lounge, Li Hong walked all the way to the door of Snape’s office. The door was closed and it seemed that there was no one inside.
He raised his hand and knocked on the door. After a while, there was a click and the door opened, revealing a gloomy face.
The moment he saw Li Hong, Snape’s face suddenly darkened and he closed the door without thinking.
He knew that he was no match for Li Hong. He knew it the moment he was hit by Li Hong’s spell, so he did not take out his wand to seek revenge.
However, when he tried to close the door with his right hand, he found that the door did not move, as if there was a huge resistance blocking him in front.
He immediately looked down at his feet and saw nothing blocking the door, but the door could not be opened.
He knew without thinking that this was Li Hong’s work. His face looked as if he had eaten dog shit. He took a deep breath to calm his anger and asked in a cold voice.
“what you up to!”
“I’d like to see your inventory of potion ingredients.”
“Why?”
Snape frowned and said without thinking.
“We Taoists have a method that can summon the dead.”
Li Hong said softly, this is also a special skill.
Since there are ghosts in this world, there must also be an underworld.
Li Hong’s words made Snape fall silent, his eyes were gloomy and no one knew what he was thinking.
He didn’t know whether Li Hong was playing tricks on him, but he felt that the other party was mysterious and weird, and he might really have such ability.
Finally, he stared at Li Hong fiercely, like a coiled poisonous snake that could pounce at any time, as if warning Li Hong that if he deceived him, he would make him pay the price even if he was defeated.
Li Hong looked calm. He didn’t care about Snape’s threats. In his eyes, there was no threat at all.
After all, this world cannot be controlled by looks alone.
The next moment Snape moved aside to make way. Although he said nothing, his intention was self-evident.
Li Hong immediately walked into the office. Just like Snape’s expression, the office was a little cold and dim, like a poisonous snake’s nest.
It’s not that there are no windows, but they are blocked by a thick layer of curtains, with only a thin line of daylight coming in.
There was a long table in the middle of the office, with bottles and jars piled up in a mess on it. At the moment, a potion was being brewed. There was boiling liquid in the crucible, emitting a strange smell.
After Li Hong walked in, Snape slammed the door shut, as if blocking the way out, and the room suddenly became darker.
Then Snape walked up to Li Hong and just stared at him coldly, neither saying anything nor making any other movements.
Li Hong immediately understood that this wanted him to summon the undead first.
“I’ll do as you wish after reading this.”
Snape was silent for a while, chose to compromise, turned around and came to the two cabinets in the corner, which were as big as wardrobes.
He took out his magic wand and knocked on the cabinet, and a gap suddenly appeared on the door.
When the cabinet was completely opened, revealing its true appearance, there were five layers in total, and each layer was crowded with bottles and jars.
Some of the jars contained fresh-looking plants, some contained unknown liquids, and some contained the remains of certain animals.
Li Hong used his spiritual sense to scan, more carefully than with his eyes, analyzing the medicinal properties of each material.
The elixir he wanted to refine was one that could purify the bloodline.
It’s of no use to him, but it means a lot to wizards, creatures who are born with magical powers.
For wizards, bloodline is equivalent to power.
As long as their bloodline is made purer, their magic power can be enhanced.
I have to say that Snape’s collection is complete and diverse.
After identifying the medicinal properties, Li Hong already understood it clearly and had already composed the pill formula in his mind.
“What is this?”
Li Hong then asked the names of the ingredients and perfected the recipe.
In addition, questions are raised about the scarcity of these materials.
Snape’s face was full of impatience, but he still answered in a cold voice. He didn’t care at all about Li Hong wanting to know what these potions were for.
Li Hong also modified the prescription according to Snape’s introduction.
Once a material is difficult to obtain and precious, he will discard it without hesitation and use materials with similar medicinal properties.
After more than ten minutes, he finally came up with a prescription for a pill.
The impatience on Snape’s face was already evident, as if he was afraid that Li Hong couldn’t see it.
“Okay.”
Li Hong said simply.
The next moment Snape waved his sleeves, magic power surged, and the cabinet door slammed shut, as if to express his dissatisfaction.
Li Hong looked indifferent as he came to a desk in a corner of the office where there was barely enough space for writing.
He reached into his fortune-telling bag and pulled out a bunch of things.
Yellow paper, porcelain plate, cinnabar, and brush.
Under Snape’s scrutinizing gaze, Li Hong dipped the brush in cinnabar and moved the tip of the brush flexibly on the yellow paper.
In less than a second, he raised his pen, and saw that a very complicated rune had been drawn on the talisman paper.
Snape frowned as he looked at the yellow paper. With his knowledge, he really had no idea what it was.
Could it be possible that such a strange thing could really summon the undead?
However, Li Hong did not put down his pen immediately. Instead, he turned his left hand over the talisman paper he had just drawn, revealing a blank page behind it.
“The name of the dead.”
Li Hong asked casually, holding up his pen ready to put it down at any time.
Snape frowned, but did not question it, instead he cooperated.
“Lily Evans….Potter”
Snape forgot to breathe at this moment, his heart tightened, his cold eyes contained a hint of complex emotions, and he slowly called out Lily’s name.
Li Hong started writing immediately, and what he wrote was naturally his English name.
“Death time.”
Li Hong continued to ask.
“…October 31, 1981”
Snape’s face darkened slightly, his eyes lost a bit of vitality, and he said slowly that he would never forget this date in his life.
Chapter 42: Reincarnation (Old Version)
Li Hong continued to write the date on the back and then stopped.
Put all other things back into the divination bag.
Then he picked up the yellow paper, and Snape’s eyes followed the yellow paper.
“Then what…”
“Is it right here?”
Li Hong looked at Snape and asked.
“Wait a moment!”
Snape’s face changed and he hurried into the inner room of the office, only coming out after a while.
Li Hong looked at Snape and thought he had washed his hair, but it wasn’t. It looked like he had tidied it up, but it was hard to tell where he had tidied it up.
Li Hong didn’t waste any words. When he received Snape’s gaze, his eyes suddenly became serious. He pinched the talisman paper in his hand and made a seal.
The next moment, flames ignited on the talisman paper. Li Hong then loosened his hand and the talisman paper immediately fell down. It was completely burned before it hit the ground, leaving only obvious ashes.
Snape watched the scene coldly, but Li Hong did not make any other moves afterwards, but there was no change here either.
After waiting for a while, he was about to ask a few questions, but he saw the talisman paper on the ground moved, as if there was wind blowing.
The ashes on the ground scattered and spun rapidly in the breeze.
Snape’s face changed slightly. The doors and windows here were closed, so how could there be any wind?
The ashes were spinning faster and faster, and the momentum was getting stronger and stronger. It seemed that the few ashes actually formed a small tornado, and the entire small tornado was made up of ashes.
Suddenly, the ashes exploded directly, floating in the air in disorder and slowly scattering.
Snape felt a little nervous, thinking that Lily was about to appear.
But Li Hong couldn’t help but raise his eyebrows, and a hint of surprise flashed across his eyes, but he quickly regained his composure.
“Where are the people?”
As he still hadn’t seen the undead he wanted, Snape looked at Li Hong and began to question him.
“Failed. She refused to see you.”
Li Hong said this calmly, which made Snape’s face turn ugly. He stared with his eyes wide open, suspecting that Li Hong had lied to him!
“Are you kidding me?!”
Snape was suddenly excited. He shouldn’t be so stupid as to believe the other party. He even wanted to take out his wand and curse Li Hong severely on the spot. His hand was already holding the wand in his wizard robe.
Li Hong looked at Snape calmly, waiting for him to take out his wand, so that he would not have to abide by the agreement.
In the end, Snape let go of the wand. He understood Li Hong’s eyes, so he didn’t dare to do so.
He knew that Li Hong was powerful, but he was not afraid of life and death and attacked him even if it was useless.
But he didn’t dare to lose this only chance to see Lily.
“She knew you wanted to see her, so she didn’t come.”
Li Hong directly broke through the gauze paper and revealed the truth which was a bit cruel for Snape.
Sure enough, these words were like a knife stabbing into Snape’s heart. His pupils trembled, his face changed slightly, and a trace of pain and guilt appeared in his eyes. The hands tucked into his sleeves were clenched tightly, and his nails squeezed his palms hard.
“She won’t forgive me…”
Snape muttered.
Li Hong looked at Snape and felt no sympathy.
After all, there must be a reason why the other person doesn’t want to see him. Death is the greatest thing, so it’s not the other person’s problem, it’s Snape’s problem.
We should ask what Snape did to deny a dead soul the rare opportunity to return to the human world.
Of course, Li Hong probably understood something and knew that Snape had done a great evil, so at this moment all he could say was that he deserved it.
However, an agreement is an agreement, and Li Hong will naturally abide by the conditions he stated.
In fact, he could also force open the passage to the underworld and bring Lily out.
Of course he wouldn’t do that, after all, the dead are the greatest.
During the time when Snape was absent-minded, Li Hong quickly drew the same spell, with Lily Potter’s name and time of death written on the back.
“Just because she refuses to see you doesn’t mean she refuses to see other people.
You still have one more chance, cherish it.”
Li Hong spoke directly to wake the other party up.
When Snape heard this, he ignored his sadness and suddenly came to his senses.
“Yes! Harry! If it were Harry, she would definitely come!”
Snape’s eyes changed, as if he had grasped a life-saving straw, and he spoke loudly.
“I’ll go get him!”
Then, without waiting for Li Hong’s consent, he quickly ran out of the door.
Li Hong didn’t mind waiting for a while.
More than ten minutes later, Snape came back again, holding Harry, who was struggling unwillingly, in his hands, with Hermione and Ron following behind him.
“You can’t do this, I will tell Professor McGonagall about this!”
Hermione couldn’t stop Snape, nor could she do anything to him, so she could only threaten him with words. But Snape didn’t care about any of this at the moment, and he walked in with Harry with a cold face.
In fact, they knew nothing. After being found by Snape, they were forced to follow him without any explanation.
When Snape pulled Harry in, he let go.
When Harry and others saw Li Hong, their glasses lit up.
“Mr. Li!”
He suddenly forgot that they were brought here by force, and shouted at Li Hong with excitement on his face. At the same time, he was a little confused. Snape was shot against the wall by Li Hong’s spell yesterday, so how come they were together today?
Li Hong nodded as a response, and then turned his gaze to Snape.
“You two go out, Potter stay.” Snape said coldly.
Hermione and Ron hesitated a little, but finally had to leave the office due to Snape’s identity.
As soon as the door was closed, Snape looked at Li Hong impatiently, as if asking Li Hong to start immediately.
Li Hong couldn’t help but shook his head. No wonder Lily Potter didn’t want to see Snape.
He pulled up the ghost of someone’s mother from the underworld, but in the end he didn’t even want to explain himself. He really treated her as a tool.
But this was a matter between Snape and Harry, and he had no intention of interfering. Harry would naturally understand once the others came up.
He immediately held the talisman in his hand and chanted a spell to summon the dead.
This time, the talisman ashes began to spin quickly, gradually expanding to a height of one person.
Suddenly the ashes stopped rotating and the trend came to an abrupt stop. All the ashes fell down quickly instead of floating down normally.
Harry looked at the scene in confusion, while Snape’s face was full of tension.
When all the ashes fell to the ground, a translucent figure slowly emerged. She was wearing an elegant long dress, with dark red hair falling to her chest. She looked young and had a pair of loving eyes.
Chapter 43: The Man in Black Robe (Old Version)
The person who came was Lily Potter, who still kept her dead appearance, so she looked very young.
When Snape saw this scene, he stared at it intently, his body couldn’t help but tremble, and his lips moved slightly, as if he had thousands of words to say, but in the end he couldn’t even utter a single sound.
As for Harry Potter, he was already in a daze. He was forcibly dragged here without being told what to do.
Then, looking at Li Hong’s strange movements, a translucent ghost appeared.
He was slightly stunned. At first he just thought that the ghost was very beautiful, familiar, and had a sense of intimacy.
But the next moment his expression changed. He looked at the ghost in disbelief and stood there blankly.
“Harry, my boy!”
It wasn’t until Lily called out with eyes full of tenderness and love that Harry came back to his senses.
“Mother…is it really you?” Harry said hesitantly.
“It’s me.”
Lily flew over quickly and hugged Harry. Of course, Harry couldn’t feel anything real because it was a ghost after all.
“Why…are you here?”
“I summoned it.”
Li Hong stood up immediately. You can’t expect Snape, who has not said a word so far, to give Harry an answer.
“The dead have a limited time to stay in this world, so cherish your time.”
Li Hong pointed at Lily’s translucent body and gave her a new magic power. Otherwise, the talisman alone could only last her for more than ten minutes.
Then he said nothing more and walked towards the door, pulling open the office door with one hand. Two figures were blocking the door, measuring their ears, and were almost knocked down by the sudden opening of the door.
These two people were Hermione and Ron, who were eavesdropping outside because they were worried about Harry.
When they saw the door open, they looked inside and saw Harry hugging a ghost with a look of shock on his face.
They eavesdropped on the noises inside from outside the door, so they knew what was happening.
But this is not science! No, not magic!
Hermione’s eyes widened. She had been in Hogwarts for more than two years and had read countless magic books, so she knew that pulling up the soul of a dead person was simply unheard of.
However, they soon saw Li Hong standing in front of them and looking at them calmly. They suddenly came to their senses and pulled Ron, who was still in a daze, to make way for Li Hong.
Li Hong then walked out and left along the corridor.
Seeing this, Hermione simply pulled the office door back and did not go in. She knew that what Harry needed now was some time alone.
Then she looked at Li Hong’s back and pulled Ron to chase him, wanting to know how he did it, otherwise she would not be able to sleep all night.
“Walk!”
But when they really went after Li Hong, they immediately realized that the rumors were true.
There is a rumor going around Hogwarts right now that one can never catch up with the new boy Li Hong.
Some people tried to contact Li Hong, but when they saw Li Hong and wanted to chase him, they found that they could not catch up no matter what.
The distance seemed not far, but even if they tried their best to chase, they still couldn’t catch up with Li Hong who was walking slowly.
This has become a rumor in the school. Even though many people do not believe it, there are many people who have come out to confirm that the rumor is true.
Finally, some people even started discussing how to catch up with Li Hong. Some suggested using flying brooms, and some even suggested petrifying everything. Of course, these suggestions were despised by others. It was not that they could not do so, but they had already witnessed Li Hong’s magical strength with their own eyes, so who would dare to do so?
It was only then that Hermione and Ron realized that the rumors were actually true, and they really couldn’t catch up.
“No, I can’t run anymore!” Ron stopped, holding the wall with one hand and waving his other hand, panting.
The same was true for Hermione. Seeing that Li Hong had already walked out of the castle, Hermione wanted to give up.
But he gritted his teeth and refused to give up, dragging the useless Ron along to chase after him.
They chased out of the castle and appeared outside. After chasing for a distance, Ron was speechless and Hermione had reached her limit. Just when they wanted to give up, an accident happened.
“Huh~ Look, he stopped!” Hermione said in surprise. She saw Li Hong stopped and looked in one direction.
She immediately continued to pull Ron to chase after him.
At this moment, Li Hong glanced at Hermione and Ron who were chasing after this side, and then looked away.
He naturally knew that someone was chasing him, so they couldn’t catch up.
I stopped now, but not to wait for them.
Li Hong’s gaze then fell on a big tree ten meters away, and saw a black shadow flash by.
Although he only took a quick glance, he could see clearly that it was a guy wearing a black robe. Most of his body was covered by the black robe, and the only exposed part of his face was filled with black mist that was faintly flowing, obviously intended to be covered up.
However, how could such a cover-up block Li Hong’s eyes?
He saw a human head behind the black fog, and only a skeleton was left.
“Please wait a moment!”
Hermione and the others finally caught up and asked Li Hong for help.
Li Hong did not answer, but looked in one direction calmly.
The man in black robe did not leave, but was watching in secret. How could he hide from his spiritual sense?
However, he was somewhat surprised by the opponent’s strength, which was very strong.
Of course this is compared with wizards, but even compared with the strongest Dumbledore, he is very strong and is already a supermodel in this world.
Li Hong made a rough judgment in his heart and concluded that if compared with cultivators, he should be at the Jindan level.
Dumbledore is probably at the foundation-building level, if we only talk about strength.
This is enough to explain the problem. You must know that there is only one level difference between foundation building and golden elixir, but the strength is worlds apart.
The Foundation Establishment cultivators are simply vulnerable in front of the Golden Core Cultivator, which is enough to show how powerful the black-robed man was, except for Li Hong of course.
“Mr. Li, I’m Hermione from Gryffindor. May I ask how you did it? None of the books I’ve read mentioned that there is magic in the world that can summon the souls of the dead.”
Hermione finally caught up, asking while panting.
“I don’t use magic.”
Li Hong answered briefly.
“It’s not magic?! Is there any other magical power in this world like magic?”
Hermione exclaimed, a trace of surprise flashed in her eyes, and asked closely.
Chapter 44: Death (Old Version)
“some.”
Li Hong responded casually, with most of his attention now focused on the man in black robe.
His powers are close to magic, but not the same.
At the same time, he is not a real living person and carries a strong aura of death.
It was probably because he summoned the undead that they were attracted here.
The other party did not attack him, so he would not have cared, but the key point was that the man was hiding in the dark and spying on him, as if he thought Li Hong could not see it, which was a bit annoying.
From his perspective, an inhuman creature was hiding in the corner, secretly watching him, which was a bit difficult to bear.
“Come out.”
Li Hong spoke softly, but his voice spread like a huge bell. It was not loud, but people nearby could hear it, as if a sound-amplifying spell was cast.
Hermione’s curiosity was interrupted and she looked around, but she didn’t see anyone else.
The man in black robe moved slightly, obviously he heard it, but other than that there was no other movement. I wonder if he thought Li Hong was not talking to him.
Li Hong turned his head slightly and his gaze fell on the distance, behind a big tree in the distance.
The next moment, the black-robed man hiding behind the big tree began to fade and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
“Are you talking to someone?” Hermione asked, blinking.
“There’s no one else here.” Ron quickly turned his head and looked around, but the area was empty and there was no place for people to hide except this tree.
Li Hong turned around and looked behind him. The man in black robe did not leave, but moved to another place.
Hermione and Ron immediately followed Li Hong’s gaze, but still didn’t see anything.
Li Hong’s action also let the man in black know that he was really exposed, so he stopped hiding.
The next moment, a black shadow quickly condensed in front of them and finally turned into a man in a black robe, only five or six meters away from them.
Hermione and Ron were startled when they saw this and quickly stepped back.
“What’s this?”
Ron asked in surprise.
But no one answered him.
There was no trace of emotion in Li Hong’s eyes. He observed the other party calmly and already had the answer in his heart.
He somewhat underestimated the opponent’s strength.
The special magic power on the other party has indeed reached the Jindan level, but there is also an invisible force surrounding him, which cannot be seen without careful observation.
law!
The power that can only be controlled by those who have reached a very high level of enlightenment can be called the rules of the world.
In Li Hong’s prediction, if a cultivator is in the stage of Spirit Transformation, he will have initial contact with it. If he can make use of the power of the law to some extent, he is probably not far from becoming an immortal.
Of course, there are exceptions. It mainly depends on your understanding.
This is enlightenment, and you will naturally be able to access it once you reach a certain level of cultivation.
But if one has a very high level of comprehension, one can master it before reaching a certain level of cultivation.
However, no one here is in either of these two situations.
The other party did not master the laws, but was given the laws.
“Death!” Hermione suddenly cried out in surprise. She had seen this image in a travel book.
But Hermione didn’t take it seriously at the time, because the travel book itself was a kind of gossip, and it was hard to say whether the other content in it was fabricated, not to mention that it was a record about the god of death.
“Why are you following me?”
Li Hong asked softly, the other party should be the controller of the underworld, which can be regarded as a kind of “priesthood” in any other world, so it is not surprising that he is endowed with the power of laws.
However, the power of laws sounds scary, but it also depends on the world.
At least in Li Hong’s opinion, the world itself is relatively fragile, and the Tao is simple and clear, but also fragile. Naturally, the so-called power of the law will not be that strong.
But for ordinary wizards, it should still be considered the ceiling.
“You have violated the rules of the underworld and taken the souls away from the other side. This sin is unforgivable. I am here to take your soul away.”
The black-robed man’s voice was gloomy, and there didn’t seem to be a trace of emotion.
These words scared Hermione and Ron, and they looked at Li Hong in panic.
But Li Hong remained calm and asked curiously.
“How are you going to take it away?”
The man in black robe immediately raised his hands, and his sleeves dropped, revealing his bony arms.
He closed his palms and slowly opened them, and something emerged from the gap between his hands.
A dark and smooth iron rod, followed by its left and right parts slowly appeared.
It was a sickle, completely black except for the silver-white blade. It gave off a chill and looked very sharp. It should be good for cutting grass.
Even if it is used on humans, just point the blade towards the back of the neck and gently pull it, and it is guaranteed to separate the head from the body.
“As long as I cut off your head, I can naturally take your soul away.”
The Grim Reaper said sinisterly, holding the scythe and knocking it on the ground.
The next moment, the big tree beside Li Hong changed strangely. Its branches became soft and pounced towards Li Hong like poisonous snakes.
Hermione noticed something strange, looked up and quickly reminded.
However, Li Hong didn’t even look at it. The peach wood sword in the scabbard behind him suddenly popped out, rotated slightly in the air, emitting a sharp sword light, and then fell back into the scabbard.
The next moment, branches and vines fell down and scattered on the ground.
The black mist on the face of the Grim Reaper could not help but flow. This was the reason why he did not go directly to Li Hong, but was spying in secret.
The methods displayed by Li Hong did not seem like magic, and the method of directly pulling people from his underworld was unheard of, so he wanted to find out the other party’s background before taking action.
But this method was not enough, and the Grim Reaper continued to knock on the ground.
In an instant, black mist emerged from the scattered stones on the ground, and suddenly transformed into more than ten black wolves. They shook their heads as if to adapt to the new life, with bloodshot eyes, bloody mouths and sharp fangs, and rushed towards Li Hong.
However, that’s not all. The big tree beside Li Hong shook, and many leaves fell like broken hair. Then the big tree uprooted itself, using its thick roots as feet, and the branches on it intertwined and tied together to serve as hands.
Ron and Hermione stared at the scene with wide eyes in disbelief. Is this still the world they knew?
Even Dumbledore couldn’t do this.
Ron wanted to run away, so he ran backwards. However, he stumbled and fell, with a bitter look on his face. His legs were weak!
Although Hermione was also shocked, she was much better than Ron. She quickly pulled Ron up, but did not leave. Instead, she hid behind Li Hong.
She could see that Li Hong’s face was too calm, and he seemed not to take these miracles in their eyes seriously at all. Instead of running away randomly, it would be better to take a gamble.
Chapter 45: Source of Power (Old Version)
Li Hong watched the scene with great interest, and it was just as he expected.
The power of the god of death does not deviate from the scope of magic. At the moment, these are just transfiguration.
But it is much more advanced than transfiguration. Li Hong can see that these wolves have real breath of life.
And it was not an ordinary wild wolf, but a magical creature, which was something that all the transformation techniques introduced in books could not achieve.
Li Hong put his hand into the divination bag and directly took out a yellow talisman.
The talisman paper immediately slipped away from his fingers and flew towards the giant tree man.
Seeing this, the tree man was about to wave his hand to grab the yellow talisman, but at this moment the talisman paper emitted a golden light, shining on the tree man, causing the tree man’s movements to pause slightly.
In this moment, the talisman paper had come closer and stuck directly to the rough bark.
The sealing talisman suddenly took effect, and the tree man’s body froze, unable to move anymore.
After Li Hong threw out the talisman paper, he no longer cared about the tree man beside him and took out a magic wand.
He pointed at the dozen or so vicious wolves that were pouncing on him.
Flying sand and rocks!
The next moment, the magic wand in Li Hong’s hand seemed to turn into the barrel of a Gatling gun, emitting blue light, and bursts of magic light swarmed out.
Listening to the wailing sounds, all the evil wolves were not spared by the dense magic light. They all flew backwards, and after falling to the ground, they were covered with black mist and turned back into stones.
The scene seemed huge, but Li Hong handled it easily.
Ron and Hermione opened their mouths wide when they saw this, a little excited, as if they were the ones dealing with the Grim Reaper.
Seeing this, the Grim Reaper snorted coldly and suddenly disappeared like mist.
Hermione and Ron’s eyes suddenly widened with a hint of horror, only to see that the Grim Reaper appeared behind Li Hong, and the scythe in his hand chopped down fiercely towards Li Hong’s neck.
But Li Hong did not need to be reminded. His spiritual sense had already covered the vicinity, and he had already noticed where the god of death was going before he appeared.
This kind of teleportation is somewhat similar to Shapeshift, but it is much more advanced.
As the sickle fell, Li Hong felt many traces of magic, or it could be said that it had risen to the level of laws.
His body was stiff, enveloped by the power of the law, which was many times stronger than the petrification of the basilisk.
Those who are covered by this law are completely unable to move and can only wait to be killed.
Even if Dumbledore were here, he would be restricted by this law. Not to mention changing his shape, he couldn’t even move a finger.
This is the absolute power of the law. No matter in which world one masters the power of the law, he will be comparable to a god.
At this moment, the God of Death felt indifferent. Although the opponent’s methods were a bit inexplicable, he would still die under his scythe. After all, he was a god, high above everyone else. Dealing with a wizard was as easy as crushing an ant.
So there is nothing to be proud of.
However, at this moment, a shocking scene happened. Li Hong turned around, his expression calm and indifferent. He raised his fingers slightly, and the magic power condensed on his fingers, pressing them against the rapidly falling tip of the knife.
The next moment, the sickle that could reap all living beings was easily blocked!
It’s like an adult blocking a baby’s weak fist.
The black mist on the face of the Grim Reaper rolled, and he was extremely shocked. How could this person move at all, and how could he block his Grim Reaper’s scythe!
You know, his Death Scythe is invincible. Even the leather scales of a fire dragon can be cut easily, not to mention a person’s fingers!
“So that’s how it is.”
Li Hong suddenly spoke, a hint of interest flashing in his eyes.
It turns out that this law does not belong to the God of Death, but to this sickle!
He immediately stretched out his hand and grabbed the black blade of the sickle.
Death was shocked when he saw this and wanted to pull back his hand holding the scythe, but he was horrified to find that he could not move, as if he had been hit by a petrification spell.
But this is not magic, but Li Hong’s cultivation.
As the golden elixir’s momentum came out, the nine-patterned golden elixir in the body began to rotate and directly suppressed it.
Ordinary golden elixir could not do this, but Li Hong’s golden elixir was different.
The seemingly peaceful scene was actually the result of his Nine-Pattern Golden Elixir resisting the fragile power of the laws of this world.
There is no way. The laws of this world are too weak, far inferior to the world where Iron Man lives.
Any Yuanying cultivator can kill this so-called god on the spot.
Although Li Hong is only a Golden Core, his foundation is different. Without considering spells and other super-model methods that can easily suppress the Nascent Soul, he can rely solely on the Nine-Pattern Golden Core to resist the Nascent Soul cultivators and will not fall into a disadvantage.
At this moment, it is natural that there is a little power of law that suppresses this world. After all, this is the power of law, not the entire world.
Under the horrified and terrified gaze of the Grim Reaper, Li Hong’s hand was getting closer and closer to the sickle handle. His heart seemed to be surging with raging waves. He wanted to regain control of his body, but in Li Hong’s eyes, he could not move at all. He could not even tremble his fingers.
Li Hong took the Grim Reaper’s scythe directly, and the next moment something strange happened.
The black robe on the god of death suddenly turned into mist and dissipated, revealing a skeleton.
Ron screamed at the sight, and although Hermione was shocked and a little frightened, she stood still and stared at the skeleton, as if she felt that if she blinked, the deepest secret in the world would slip away from her hands.
However, the bones were not real entities. Flesh grew on the bones and eventually turned into a bald old man wearing a luxurious black robe like a noble. He looked very imposing, with a long white beard, eyes as sharp as an eagle’s, a face with a hawk-beak and hawk-like eyes. At first glance, he looked like an evil wizard.
Just from his appearance, you can tell that he must be some kind of dark wizard.
However, this figure is still not a physical entity, but rather translucent like a ghost.
At this moment, he was showing an expression of disbelief, and looked at Li Hong with eyes full of fear.
But even if he turned into a ghost, he was still unable to move under Li Hong’s momentum.
“The Grim Reaper actually looks like this!”
Hermione bravely stepped forward, as if to record this important historical fact with her eyes. Perhaps she would publish a book in the future to record this appearance and show the world that this was the true face of the god of death, not much different from a dark wizard. However, she didn’t know how many people would believe it.
“Hermione!”
Ron called out urgently, but didn’t dare to move forward. He couldn’t understand how Hermione had the courage to get close to her. This was the Grim Reaper!
Hermione’s face was no longer panicked. She had already realized that the situation was still under Li Hong’s control. After all, even the Grim Reaper’s scythe had been taken away by Li Hong. Was there any need to say more about the outcome?
Li Hong held a sickle in his hand and looked at the bald ghost. It was not much different from an ordinary ghost and no longer posed any threat at this moment.
The reason why it has power comparable to that of a god is actually due to the power of this sickle.
This sickle is like the throne of God. Anyone who sits on it can become a god.
But…in Li Hong’s hands, it was very calm, as if it had lost all its power.
Chapter 46 Salazar Slytherin (Old Version)
Li Hong set his eyes on the sickle in his hand.
This sickle contains the power of laws, perhaps it was born from the local avenue, in order to select a god of death to rule the underworld.
But Li Hong is not a local and has not been recognized by the Great Dao, so he cannot use this power.
However, Li Hong didn’t care much about it. Although this sickle could barely be considered a treasure, once it was taken away from this world, it would become an ordinary sickle. It would probably get rusty when used to cut grass again.
Similar to the Infinity Stones from another world.
Of course, Li Hong could also forcibly suppress the power of the law on the sickle and use it for his own purposes, usurping the authority of the avenue here, but it was unnecessary and not a good thing.
Li Hong then looked at the ghost and released his suppression of it.
The ghost had just regained his freedom and his face suddenly changed. He wanted to snatch the sickle from Li Hong’s hand. Without the sickle, he would just be an ordinary ghost, not the god of death!
Li Hong did not stop him and let him reach for the sickle handle.
However, the ghost’s hand grabbed nothing, his face changed, and he kept waving his hands, but he couldn’t touch the sickle at all.
“Why!”
The ghost couldn’t help but speak, and his voice sounded somewhat deep and with an accent, as if this was his real voice.
“Because it’s in my hands.”
Li Hong explained calmly, how could he be so unruly with things in his hands?
“Who the hell are you!”
The bald ghost looked at Li Hong with fear and questioned.
“Why don’t you tell me your origins, and maybe I’ll give it back to you.”
Li Hong did not answer, but instead spoke, but he did not lie.
This thing is useless to him, so why not return it to the other party?
As for the other party attacking him, Li Hong could also understand it.
After all, he was the one who broke the rules first.
The talisman used by Li Hong is essentially a pass to pass the level.
For Taoists, the reason they can summon the dead is actually because the ancestors have negotiated the rules with the people below, so the door is opened conveniently.
With the power to issue passes, the names and other information are recorded and burned below, so that the dead souls have passes and can leave the underworld legally.
This is normal.
Of course, Li Hong modified the rune so that the spell could forcibly lead the undead below to break through the barrier, which to some extent was a direct jailbreak to save people.
But if the rules are broken, then the rules are broken. If the god of death in front of him could take him away, then of course he would have no problem. It’s a pity that the other party is useless.
When the bald ghost heard Li Hong’s words, his expression changed, but he knew that he was now a fish on the chopping board and could only be slaughtered at will, with no choice.
Not to mention that he was forcibly suppressed when he was in the state of death, let alone now he is just an undead with no power and can’t even cast spells.
“My name is Salazar Slytherin, the seventeenth god of death in the underworld.”
In the end, the bald undead could only cooperate and speak in a deep voice.
Hermione and Ron were also eavesdropping nearby and thought the name sounded familiar. The next moment, their eyes met and they blurted out the name.
“Slytherin!”
“You’re the Slytherin founder of Hogwarts!”
Ron asked in shock. Even though he was not good at History of Magic, he knew that this person was a person from a thousand years ago.
Salazar nodded with a complicated expression, turned his head and looked at the Hogwarts Castle in front of him, with a hint of nostalgia in his eyes.
Salazar then continued to talk about his experience.
Of course he wanted to survive before he died, but he still died in the end.
After his death, he fell into the underworld and met the god of death at that time.
The god of death chose him, gave him the scythe, and asked him to inherit the identity of the god of death, so he became the god of death, and has continued to do so until now.
Ron and Hermione were amazed when they heard this. This was probably the most secretive secret in the wizarding world, and probably only they who were present knew it.
“What about the previous Grim Reaper?” Ron asked curiously.
“Left.” Salazar said simply.
“Where did you go?” Ron demanded.
But Salazar shook his head.
“I can’t tell you. Things in the underworld can’t be told to the living.”
Salazar didn’t want to answer, but Li Hong was looking at him, so he could only speak.
The matter of the Grim Reaper’s scythe was not considered a secret of the underworld, but the rest were real secrets. One of his previous duties was to clean up the people and ghosts who had been revealed through various means.
Li Hong could probably guess that it was nothing more than something about reincarnation.
“I’m done.” Salazar then looked at Li Hong, his vulture-like eyes were clearly different from Snape’s.
Snape’s eyes were as cold and ruthless as a venomous snake hunting its prey.
But Salazar was different. His eyes were equally cold, but with a hint of arrogance, a kind of condescending pride.
“I can give it back to you, but there are conditions.”
“I’m in need of someone to do my job. You work for me for five years.”
Five years was enough time for him to collect enough magic materials to make pills. Besides, he believed that the magic plants here would be of no use to him after five years.
Salazar frowned immediately but said nothing. Five years is not a long time, but why!
He was the god of death, not some house-elf.
But at the moment he had no bargaining chips and had no choice but to agree.
Salazar said in a deep voice.
Upon hearing this, Li Hong immediately handed the Grim Reaper’s scythe to Salazar.
“Wait, Mr. Li, aren’t you afraid that he might go back on his word?”
Ron suddenly shouted, asking curiously, but was met with Salazar’s murderous gaze, and his neck shrank immediately and he stopped talking.
In fact, Salazar thought so too.
Li Hong said casually without stopping his hands, and Salazar took it as he wished. He could finally touch the Grim Reaper’s scythe, and a hint of joy flashed in his eyes.
The moment he took the Grim Reaper’s scythe, Salazar’s body was covered by a black robe, and even his face was blocked by a layer of black mist.
He has regained his power of death!
The next second, without any warning, Salazar turned into a ball of black mist and disappeared on the spot.
“He ran away!”
Ron quickly pointed at the place where Salazar had just been and shouted.
In the blink of an eye, Salazar had returned to the underworld using the power of the Grim Reaper’s scythe.
“It’s okay.” Li Hong said softly and raised his hand. The next moment, black mist emerged and instantly turned into a sickle, which was the sickle of the god of death.
After passing through his hands once, the Grim Reaper’s Scythe was no longer just a Grim Reaper’s Scythe.
He was called back directly.
At this moment, Salazar in the underworld was dumbfounded, and his body turned into a ghost again.
“Where’s my sickle?”
His angry voice suddenly echoed in the deserted corner of the underworld.
Chapter 47 Migration (Old Version)
Ron’s eyes glowed as he stared at the Grim Reaper’s scythe in Li Hong’s hand, desire written all over his face.
I couldn’t help but imagine that if I had a knife like this, I wouldn’t have to go to school at all, and I would be able to match Dumbledore in an instant.
“Can I touch it?”
Ron came closer to Li Hong and asked with his eyes wide open.
“Lend it to you for fun.”
Li Hong threw the sickle in his hand directly, and Ron caught it in panic.
There was some surprise in his eyes as he carefully stroked the hilt of the knife, but he looked down at his body blankly, and it seemed that nothing had changed.
“Hermione, can you help me check if I look like the Grim Reaper?”
Hermione said seriously.
Ron couldn’t help but twirling the Grim Reaper’s scythe back and forth in his hands, his face flushed with anxiety, but nothing happened.
“Don’t think about it, this is for the dead.”
Li Hong couldn’t help but speak upon seeing this, if one wanted to use the Grim Reaper’s scythe, firstly one needed to be a local, and secondly one needed to become an undead, it would be of no use in the hands of a living person.
“I see.”
Ron murmured regretfully, still staring at the sickle.
Seeing this, Li Hong asked for the sickle back, worried that this kid would commit suicide for the power of the god of death.
Then he shook the sickle in his hand, and the next moment the sickle shrank rapidly, finally becoming the size of a toothpick.
“What’s going on!” Ron asked in surprise.
“Shrinking spell.”
Li Hong casually said that the power of the law of the Grim Reaper’s scythe was interesting. It seemed to be derived from magic. Using this scythe to cast spells could exert its power of law, including the Transfiguration spell that Salazar had used before.
Under the power of the laws, magic can reach a level that wizards cannot achieve.
But now Li Hong was just using an ordinary shrinking spell, and then put the toothpick-sized sickle into his divination bag.
His gaze turned to the tree man beside him, which did not transform back after Salazar’s defeat, but looked like a real life.
Li Hong waved his hand, and the sealing symbol on the bark instantly turned into ashes.
At his signal, the tree man moved his huge body and ran towards the forbidden forest.
Anyway, there is no shortage of such magical creatures in the Forbidden Forest.
After the matter was settled, Li Hong wanted to leave. After saying goodbye to Ron and Hermione, he strolled towards the Forbidden Forest.
“Do you think it’s worth dying to become the God of Death?
If I work for Mr. Li for five years, will he give me the Death Scythe?”
Seeing Li Hong disappear, Ron was still struggling with this matter. Let alone five years, if he could obtain the power of the god of death, he would be willing to work for Li Hong for ten years.
Hermione looked at Ron speechlessly. What she saw was Li Hong who easily defeated the Grim Reaper and was much more terrifying than the Grim Reaper. She then ignored Ron and headed towards the castle.
“Wait for me!”
Seeing this, Ron stopped hesitating and immediately shouted loudly and chased after him.
Li Hong came to the forbidden forest, actually wanting to find magical plants for making elixirs.
The materials he used to make the pill formula were very common, so they were not difficult to find. Plus, with a quick scan with his spiritual sense, he basically knew the locations of those magical plants.
Walking in the forbidden forest, picking more and more, going deeper and deeper.
After an unknown amount of time, two figures suddenly appeared in the forest and blocked Li Hong’s way.
Li Hong raised his head slightly and saw two tall horsemen stopped in front of him, with their upper bodies naked and each carrying a quiver and bow and arrow on their backs.
As for the face, it has both human and horse shadows, which looks a bit strange.
“Wizard, don’t go any further. It’s too dangerous in there. Go back!”
One of the centaurs spoke in a cheerful voice.
“Firenze, why do you have to meddle in other people’s business? He is just a wizard. If he dies, he dies.”
Another bearded centaur said unhappily.
“Thank you, but I have my own plans.”
Li Hong expressed his gratitude for the kindness of others, but did not accept it. He then walked around the two people and continued forward.
“Oh, you see, I told you to mind your own business.”
The bearded horseman sneered upon hearing this, mocking Firenze’s self-righteousness.
Firenze couldn’t help but shake his head when he saw this. Since the other party didn’t appreciate it, then forget it.
“Let’s go, Bane.”
Then the two figures quickly disappeared into the forest.
However, the forbidden forest was not so peaceful. After Li Hong and the horsemen left, the leaves of the towering trees nearby trembled and many leaves fell.
Then a giant eight-eyed spider climbed down from the tree. Its eight eyes looked at the direction Li Hong left, but it did not follow him. Instead, it quickly left in another direction.
In a blink of an eye, Li Hong contentedly put the last magic plant into his divination bag. Now his collection was complete and he could go back to make the elixir.
But he was not in a hurry. He sat up casually on the ground, as if he was tired.
At this moment, birds were constantly startled and flew away in the forbidden forest. Densely packed large spiders were moving quickly on the ground, as if they were undergoing a large-scale migration. All creatures along the way were hiding away.
“Firenze, why are these giant acromantula coming out in droves?”
After all the eight-eyed giant spiders had passed, Firenze and Bane emerged. Looking at the backs of the group, they felt a chill in their hearts. With so many eight-eyed giant spiders, even if they were entangled, there would be no way for them to survive.
You know, the eight-eyed giant spider clan is a big scourge to the entire forbidden forest, and no one knows who let them in.
Their centaur tribe was also very wary of this group of eight-eyed giant spiders, but they were not afraid because they were fast and they could easily beat them as long as they were not entangled.
Shoot arrows from a distance, and if they get close, quickly evacuate, shooting arrows as you evacuate.
When the eight-eyed giant spiders felt the pain and wanted to retreat, they would chase them and continue shooting arrows, and they would always be able to defeat them and make them lose their weapons and armor. The only problem was that they did not have that many bows and arrows.
After several battles in a row, these giant eight-eyed spiders were frightened and dared not attack their centaur tribe again.
However, they knew that if they had the chance, this group of eight-eyed giant spiders would never let them go. What they feared most was being surrounded. Once surrounded, they would be in trouble.
Of course, it is difficult for them to find this opportunity, as the horse tribe has people patrolling day and night.
“It’s probably nothing good, let’s follow and see.”
Firenze said immediately, his eyes serious.
It’s definitely not a good thing for these troublemakers to mobilize so many spiders. I’m afraid another colony is going to be in trouble.
In other words, the direction this group of eight-eyed giant spiders were heading was not the location of their tribe, otherwise they would not be talking so easily at this moment.
Then two figures quietly followed the Acromantula, ready to find out their movements to avoid any connection with them.
Chapter 48: Return to the Ancestors Pill (Old Version)
If you look down from the air, you will find that the direction this group of eight-eyed giant spiders are moving in is the direction where Li Hong is.
Li Hong killed three eight-eyed giant spiders on his first day. Although there were no bystanders at the time, the news still leaked out.
The first eight-eyed giant spider that returned to the tribe to seek support revealed the news, but it only heard that there was only one person and there were not enough to share, so the other eight-eyed giant spiders did not follow. After a period of investigation, they found out who killed them.
Li Hong was sitting cross-legged on the ground. With his spiritual sense, he could naturally see a large number of spiders rushing towards this side. This was exactly why he was not in a hurry to leave.
However, there was still some time before they arrived, so Li Hong simply took out the glass tripod from his divination bag.
With one hand throwing it out, the glass tripod grew bigger in the wind and turned into a small tripod one meter high and landed steadily on the ground.
The lid of the tripod flew up with a bang and fell to the side.
Li Hong then walked to the Glazed Cauldron and took out the magical plants he had picked from the divination bag. He did not throw all the materials in at once.
About three samples were collected, just in case.
Pour all the magic materials in, lift the finger lightly, and the lid of the tripod will fly up and fit firmly into the body of the tripod.
The next moment, the fire rune under the cauldron flickered slightly, and flames instantly emerged, covering the bottom of the glass cauldron.
The glazed tripod isolated the terrifying temperature and protected the magical plants inside so that they would not be burned to ashes in an instant.
It just slowly melts and forms solutions of different colors.
When it reaches a certain temperature, the impurities in it suddenly evaporate, leaving only the purest medicinal properties, which are then isolated aside, waiting for the opportunity.
The same is true for other plants, each has a suitable temperature.
When the temperature is reached, impurities will be removed and the medicinal properties that Li Hong needs will be retained.
In a short while, all the plants had been purified, and the next moment they were fused.
Incorrect fusion order will also lead to pill failure.
The normal process of refining the elixir is to do it step by step, but for Li Hong, it doesn’t need to be so troublesome.
Li Hong then cast a spell to drive the glass tripod.
In an instant, all the solutions quickly merged together, and the flames in the cauldron suddenly rose.
The most perfect state is when the elixir is fused and formed at the right temperature.
The lid of the cauldron flew up with a bang, thick white smoke came out, and the fire under the cauldron was suddenly extinguished.
I saw a red pill lying in the glass tripod, and it was quite big.
Li Hong stretched out one hand and took it in his hand.
This pill is the size of a longan, and its surface is smooth and waxy.
Li Hong named it the Lower Grade Return to Ancestor Pill, aiming to enhance the strength of blood.
It works not only on wizards, but also on other magical creatures.
In addition, individuals with other powerful bloodlines can also take it.
Of course, this is not the elixir that Li Hong is going to sell, this is a magic elixir.
Although it has just entered the entry grade, it is still considered an elixir. If he sells it like this to make a few dozen Galleons, he will probably be exhausted to death. Besides, there may not be so many magical plants in this world.
After all, it was an elixir produced by him. Eating this whole low-grade elixir would probably make his bloodline purer, and maybe even close to Dumbledore’s level.
In other words, the magic power is increased by more than twenty times.
It sounds like a lot, but it’s really just that.
After all, Li Hong personally made the recipe and refined the pills.
On the one hand, the recipe makes the Atavism Pill extremely effective, and on the other hand, he personally refines the Pill, making its efficacy almost perfect.
When it comes to actually refining it, Li Hong will separate the medicinal effects of the Return to Ancestor Pill, dividing one pill into twenty or thirty small Return to Ancestor Pills, and then each small Return to Ancestor Pill will no longer be considered a elixir.
As long as there are enough materials, he can refine large quantities in one furnace, and it is not a big problem to produce a hundred low-grade Atomas Reversion Pills in one furnace.
This also means that he can make two to three thousand small atavism pills in one furnace. If he makes a few more furnaces, he will probably be able to satisfy all the wizards in the British magical world.
Of course, in order to avoid causing resource imbalance and thus division in the wizarding society, he would deliberately leave some special poison in the small atavity pill when he makes the pill in the future.
In this way, the effect will be greatest when each wizard takes the first pill. Due to the toxicity of the pill, the effect of taking the second pill will be weakened to one percent and continue to weaken.
Otherwise, the wizards from wealthy families would simply spend money to buy dozens of pills, thereby forcibly achieving the effect of the inferior atavism pill, which would directly separate the rich wizards from the poor wizards, and that would be a huge sin.
If by that time everyone has bought his small anti-ancestor pills and he is still short of money.
At worst, we can launch a second version of the Anti-Ancestral Pill and change the toxicity of the Anti-Ancestral Pill so that people who take it will no longer have drug resistance, which is essentially allowing them to take a second pill.
In this way, he can rely on this low-grade Atavism Pill to harvest magic potions for alchemy, and he probably doesn’t need to think of other ways to make money.
Li Hong was very satisfied with his plan.
But before that, we still need to determine the efficacy of the pill, so we need to find someone to test it.
At this moment, there were dense voices coming from all around, and Li Hong’s eyes lit up, and he immediately knew who to find to test the medicine.
Then he took out a porcelain bottle from the divination bag and put the pill in it.
With a casual stretch of his hand, the glass tripod suddenly flew up and came towards Li Hong. It kept shrinking as it flew and finally returned to its original size. Li Hong took it in his hand and stuffed it into the divination bag.
Dense friction sounds were heard, and birds around were startled. One flew up and let out a mournful cry, followed by a chewing sound.
The big trees around were moving, and giant eight-eyed spiders appeared and surrounded Li Hong, as if they were weaving a giant web.
However, these eight-eyed giant spiders did not swarm over, but instead stared at him coldly from all sides.
Until several giant spiders appeared.
Obviously, these eight-eyed giant spiders that are as big as elephants are the leaders among them. Ordinary people would feel their scalps tingling when they see them.
“You killed my child?!”
A hoarse and unpleasant voice came from an eight-eyed giant spider.
Li Hong was not surprised that they could speak human language, and said calmly: “If you mean those spiders who wanted to eat me, then it was indeed me who did it.”
“They were just greedy and you dared to kill them!” The eight-eyed giant spider screamed excitedly when it heard it.
“Kill for kill, since you killed them, you have to pay the price!”
Another giant eight-eyed spider said at this moment.
Hearing this, Li Hong agreed with the truth and nodded.
“Indeed, if you can take my life, then go ahead and take it.”
Li Hong’s face was calm and he spoke softly.
That’s the reason.
Li Hong also remembered the principles his cheap master had taught him.
Those who eat people are monsters. If they eat once, they will eat again. If you encounter a man-eating beast, you must kill it, otherwise they will continue to eat people.
It is unknown whether these eight-eyed giant spiders have eaten humans before, but they are now looking at him with drooling eyes.
It was obvious that she was very greedy for him and liked human flesh by nature. She was a monster from birth and it was a sin for her to be alive.
Of course, there aren’t many people in this forbidden forest that they can eat, so there aren’t many people in this group who have eaten humans before.
But if they want to eat humans, they will always eat them. After eating the first person, they will eat the second, and continue to reproduce. This is a big problem.
In that case, why not just grind them all to dust?
