Chapter 117 Who put the snake gall in my room?
At Qingfeng Temple, the sun is just rising.
The first rays of sunlight streamed through the window into the room, casting golden patches of light on the floor.
After cultivating all night, Li Jun slowly opened his eyes. His eyes shone with inner light, and when his gaze swept across the air, it left a faint trace of light that slowly dissipated after a moment.
"call!"
Li Jun exhaled a long breath, his breath as smooth as silk, condensing and lingering in the morning light.
He felt the surging power within his body and the increasingly refined and brilliant divine light between his brows, and a look of joy appeared on his face.
After just one night of cultivation, his divine sense had increased by nearly ten percent compared to before! Moreover, it was much more condensed and pure!
This "Fragment of the Shangqing Dongxuan True Scripture" truly lives up to its reputation as a cultivation method that directly points to the path of immortality; its cultivation effects are simply astonishing.
At this rate of cultivation, I'm afraid I won't stay in the Spirit Refining Realm for much longer than I will stay in the Qi Refining Realm.
Li Jun pondered this in his heart, filled with anticipation for the future.
In a good mood, he got up and got out of bed to make breakfast.
However, just as he walked to the desk, his gaze suddenly sharpened.
On the desk, next to the jade box that held the fish-shaped talisman, something else had appeared out of nowhere.
The thing was about the size of a fist, oval-shaped, with a smooth surface, a dark color with a hint of green, and a faint fishy smell.
"This is……"
Li Jun was stunned for a moment.
He stepped forward, picked up the thing, and held it in his hand. It felt a bit like dough, chewy, but there seemed to be liquid sloshing inside.
Furthermore, in his divine perception, this object emitted a faint spiritual light, clearly indicating that it was not an ordinary object.
"Where did it come from?"
Li Jun frowned.
He clearly remembered that when he started cultivating last night, there was nothing next to the jade box.
Moreover, the door remained tightly closed throughout the entire cultivation period, making it impossible for anyone to enter.
Li Jun's gaze involuntarily fell on the jade box beside him.
The jade box sat there quietly, its lid tightly closed, showing no signs of anything amiss.
But he always felt...
This thing is inextricably linked to the fish-shaped talisman in the jade box!
He brought the oval-shaped object closer and smelled it.
The fishy smell seemed to carry a faint, pleasant fragrance.
"Could it be...?"
Li Jun had a vague guess in his mind, but he wasn't sure.
He hesitated for a moment, then decided to ask his master.
They arrived at their master's room.
dong dong dong.
"Master, are you up?"
The old Taoist priest's voice came from inside the room: "Get up, come in."
Li Jun pushed open the door and went in.
The old Taoist priest was sitting on the edge of the bed putting on his shoes. He looked to be in good spirits, but there was a hint of fatigue on his face.
Clearly, yesterday's events had a significant impact on him.
"Jun'er, is something the matter?"
The old Taoist priest looked up, saw what Li Jun was holding, and paused for a moment.
"Master, please take a look at this."
Li Jun handed over the oval-shaped object.
The old Taoist priest took it and examined it carefully.
He first looked at the color, then smelled the odor, and finally pressed it gently with his finger to feel the liquid inside.
After a while, the old Taoist priest raised his head, his eyes filled with surprise and doubt.
"Where did you get this thing from?"
"It was a gift from a friend," Li Jun said vaguely.
He didn't want to frighten his master, so he could only say that.
The old Taoist priest gave Li Jun a deep look but did not ask any further questions.
He lowered his head again, studying the object in his hand.
"If I'm not mistaken..."
The old Taoist priest spoke slowly, his tone solemn.
"This should be a snake gall bladder."
"Snake gall?" Li Jun was taken aback.
"Yes, but it's definitely not an ordinary snake gallbladder." The old Taoist priest held the snake gallbladder up to his eyes. "Ordinary snake gallbladders are no bigger than a thumb. Look at this..."
He gestured.
"The size of a fist, judging from its color and smell, this snake is probably quite old."
"Ordinary snakes would never grow to this size."
The old Taoist priest paused, then added, "For a snake to produce a gallbladder of this size, it must have reached at least the level of a python, or even... approaching the level of a dragon."
蛟!
Li Jun was shocked.
That's a legendary creature!
"Master, are you sure?"
"Most likely." The old Taoist priest nodded. "When I was young, I followed some people from the county and killed a giant python in the mountains that was about to transform into a snake. That python was much smaller in courage than this one."
He returned the snake gall to Li Jun.
"This stuff is quite valuable; it can improve eyesight, invigorate the spirit, detoxify, and even strengthen the body."
"Your friend... is quite generous. If he only read one urban novel in his entire life, it would probably be 'How Did I Become a Dao Ancestor by Selling Peach Wood Swords on Live Stream?'"
Li Jun took the snake gall, his doubts growing.
If this snake gall was obtained through the fish-shaped talisman...
Where did they get that fish-shaped tally?
Can it conjure things out of thin air?
"Oh, right, Master," Li Jun suddenly remembered something, "how should we preserve this snake gall?"
"Put it in a jar or porcelain bottle and store it in a cool, dark place," the old Taoist priest said. "When using it, you can soak it in wine, or dry it in the sun and grind it into powder for medicinal use."
"Okay, I understand."
Li Jun nodded and prepared to leave.
"Wait a minute," the old Taoist priest called out to him, "Make more breakfast."
"Yes, Master."
Li Jun left the room and closed the door.
He stood in the courtyard, looking at the snake gall in his hand, then glancing towards his room, feeling somewhat helpless.
His only two magical treasures both seemed to have some "problems".
The Demon-Suppressing Sword is like a sycophant, while the Fish Talisman is mysterious and can even "spit out" things.
The jade box felt warm and smooth to the touch, just like always, without any abnormalities.
Li Jun opened the box.
The fish-shaped talisman lay quietly inside, its dark golden body gleaming faintly in the morning light.
"Did you do this?"
Li Jun asked softly.
Fish Symbol, of course, would not answer.
Li Jun thought for a moment, then reached out and picked up the fish-shaped tally.
It feels slightly heavy in the hand, and that aura of iron and blood remains.
He tried to infuse a wisp of "Shangqing Qi" into the fish-shaped talisman.
hum!
The surface of the fish-shaped talisman shimmered with golden light before returning to calm.
But Li Jun could sense a hint of joy emanating from within the fish-shaped talisman.
"Well done."
Li Jun patted the fish-shaped talisman, his tone complicated, "But don't do it again next time."
"If someone discovers something this valuable, I won't be able to explain myself."
He put the fish-shaped talisman back into the jade box and closed the lid.
Then, he picked up the evil-suppressing sword from the table.
The Demon-Suppressing Sword seemed to sense something, its blade trembled slightly, and a feeling of... grievance emanated from it?
Li Jun was both amused and exasperated.
"You're involved too."
He also infused a wisp of pure energy into the Demon-Suppressing Sword.
hum!
The Demon-Suppressing Sword emitted a cheerful chirp, its blade shimmering with golden light, brighter than before.
Li Jun placed the evil-suppressing sword back on the table.
Then, he found an empty jar, carefully put the snake gallbladder inside, and tightened the lid.
After finishing these tasks, Li Juncai left the room and went to the kitchen to prepare breakfast.
And after he left...
In the room, on the desk.
The Demon-Suppressing Sword rose slightly, its hilt gently tapping against the jade box containing the fish-shaped talisman.
hum!
At the same time, the sword trembled slightly, emitting a faint sword hum.
As if to say:
"Simp!"
The jade box remained completely still, offering no response whatsoever.
The Demon-Suppressing Sword persisted, striking again.
This time, the jade box moved a few inches towards the edge of the desk due to the force of the impact.
He seemed to be saying, "If you keep nagging, I'll just fall to the ground."
The Demon-Suppressing Sword immediately became obedient.
But it was still unwilling to give up. The sword trembled slightly and emitted a series of soft sword sounds.
Although I couldn't understand what they were saying, I could still sense it...
The Demon-Suppressing Sword used extremely foul language.
……
the other side.
Li Jun was busy in the kitchen, rinsing rice to cook porridge and chopping some pickled vegetables.
As he cooked, he pondered the idea of going to Kunlun.
Now he can be considered to have achieved some success in his cultivation, and his physical fitness has greatly improved, making him somewhat immune to heat and cold.
Coping with the high altitude and cold environment of Kunlun should not be a big problem.
The most important thing now is to determine the exact location of the cenotaph for the advisor.
This needs to be asked of the Qingwei Sect Leader of Maoshan.
Fortunately, he had previously added Mingxin, a disciple of the Qingwei Sect Leader, as a friend.
Thinking of this, Li Jun took out his phone and opened Mingxin's chat window.
After thinking for a moment, he sent a red envelope containing 88 yuan.
Then type:
"Happy New Year, Mingxin Daoist! May all your wishes come true."
After the message was sent, there was no response.
Li Jun wasn't in a hurry. She put away her phone and continued cooking.
I'm so excited to write this, and I'm proud to present "Selling Peach Wood Swords on Live Stream: How Did I Become a Dao Ancestor?", exclusively published by Cola Novels!
