The Taoist Zhaixing couldn't help but be surprised.

After the Dharma Ending Age, the Maoshan Taoist tradition finally got rid of the image of a charlatan.

But because there are many restrictions in practicing Maoshan magic, there have always been only a few big cats and small cats.

He still doesn't have a fixed mountain to climb, so he's probably still a casual practitioner.

Apart from the three of them, the master and his disciples, not many people know the name Maoshan, let alone how famous it is.

But now, the man in front of him could reveal his inheritance in one breath.

Could it be that Maoshan really has a close relationship with the underworld? The surprised expression of Taoist Zhaixing also directly verified that Jiang Li's memory was correct.

The three reckless uninvited guests in front of him were none other than the famous Maoshan Taoist priests in his previous life.

The reason why he was able to recognize the other party's identity was because there was an obvious difference between the Maoshan Taoist tradition and other sects.

In addition to cultivating themselves, Maoshan Taoists also cultivate their connections.

To put it bluntly, it is about building relationships and establishing friendships. With the efforts of generations of Maoshan disciples, they eventually succeeded in spreading their network throughout the three realms, and there are "their own people" everywhere in heaven and on earth.

The founders of Maoshan, Da Mao, Er Mao and San Mao Zhenjun, were all genuine disciples of the Shangqing lineage of Taoism.

They all have extremely strong connections and backgrounds, which gives them an innate foundation.

Later, Maoshan was founded and it happened to be a prosperous era for spiritual practice. It had a long tradition and countless disciples became immortals.

After these Maoshan immortals ascended to heaven, they did not like to gather together for warmth like other forces.

They still like making friends very much, and rely on the relationships of the three True Lords to distribute letters of recommendation and introduction everywhere.

The disciples who become immortals are assigned to serve in the official organizational structure of heaven, namely the One Lord, the Two Ancestors, the Three Pure Ones, the Four Imperials, the Five Elders, the Six Officials, the Seven Origins, the Eight Poles, the Nine Stars, the Ten Cities, etc.

The longer the time goes, the larger and stronger their network of relationships becomes. In the end, how many people in heaven and on earth will not give them face?

Maoshan also developed a unique "granting of the ordination certificate" ceremony based on this network of relationships.

After accepting a formal disciple, the master will lead him to burn incense to worship the ancestors, light sky lanterns, and report the name list to the ancestors.

After helping them formally enter Taoism, the disciple's name will be recorded in the Maoshan Taoist Scriptures.

According to the "Temple of Heaven Jade Standard", disciples are divided into five levels.

They are: "The Great Three Five Dugong Scriptures", referred to as "Dugong Scriptures", belonging to the sixth and seventh rank titles. This is the booklet that Jiang Li just got in his hand.

"Tai Shang Zheng Yi Meng Wei Jing Lu", referred to as "Meng Wei Lu", is a fourth or fifth grade official title.

"The Shangqing Three Caves and Five Thunders Sutra", abbreviated as "Five Thunders Sutra", is a third-grade title.

"The Sutra of the Three Caves of Shangqing", abbreviated as "The Sutra of the Three Caves and Five Thunders", is a second-rank official title.

The Shangqing Dadong Sutra Lu, referred to as the Shangqing Lu, is a first-rank official title, usually only granted to the Heavenly Master, and no one else.

This so-called Taoist record is a document equivalent to the name certificate of divine officials and generals.

After obtaining the "箓", the Maoshan Taoist priests can be listed in the heavenly court, possess Taoist positions and even have the power to dispatch a certain number of magical soldiers to protect them.

Think about it, you have just entered the profession, and your superiors have already decided on your position and made clear arrangements.

Even if one's spiritual practice is insufficient and one cannot become an immortal, one can still work in the underworld and receive a salary from heaven after death.

This is really a great honor.

But in today's world of cultivating immortals, Taoism and Buddhism no longer exist.

As a result, pure "Taoists" are no longer as popular as they were in ancient times. Nowadays, most people practice whatever they can get, like Jiang Li, who has learned from many schools.

So much so that when Jiang Li first saw their attire, he felt it was a little strange. Later, when he heard the words "Du Gong Lu", he felt more familiar with them, and now he was sure of it.

The heavenly palace of that time had collapsed long ago, so this book of power was naturally useless!

But he was very interested in the people of Maoshan.

Based on his impression of Maoshan in his previous life, these Taoists are very familiar with every aspect of the underworld.

Jiang Li was having a headache over the progress of his exploration of this underworld fantasy, and now these three Maoshan Taoists happened to run into him.

This is like a lost traveler who has captured three experienced guides. How could he be willing to let them go easily?

This could be explained as the power of "higher merit and blessing", which specially sent him someone to solve the problem.

"Master Maoshan, I have long heard of your great name."

Jiang Li looked them up and down, then waved his hand and took off all the magic weapons on them.

"Lock them both up."

"That zombie king, stay here as a guard. If there are any prisoners who want to escape, suck their blood dry."

The new lord of Fengdu City gave them face, but not completely.

"My fellow Taoist... I am a naughty disciple and have made mistakes, but he is not a bad person... Can you give him another chance?"

A black ball of Devil May Cry, carrying two disciples, one fat and one thin, disappeared into the ghost town.

Taoist Zhaixing was powerless to stop it and could only plead for mercy again.

In his opinion, this masked city lord is also a human being, and is easier to talk to than monsters and demons.

But Jiang Li ignored him and instead took out a bottle of medicine and gave it to the fox demon to heal its wounds.

Jiang Li still remembers this fox demon. It was the first little demon that came out to offer treasures when his first Manjianghong Inn opened.

Later, Jiang Li spent a huge sum of money to buy horse bones and directly recruited her as a formal employee of the Manjianghong Inn. Unexpectedly, she has now formed a demon pill and climbed to a good position in the inn's system. It seems that she has excellent talent and comprehension.

If this bottle of medicine cannot restore him, Jiang Li will not be stingy with a Nine Nether Earth Fruit.

After taking the pill, the fox demon put away his knife and bowed back.

Jiang Li came to the zombie king hiding in the group of ghosts and monsters again, and shot out a ball of Yin Qi that fell on it.

The Zombie King was replenished with pure Yin energy and had just sucked blood, so the rotten flesh on his body healed quickly. If he was allowed to lie in the burial coffin for a few days, he would be almost back to normal.

"Follow them and work hard in the future."

The king among corpses recovered some strength and wanted to be arrogant, but after Jiang Li patted him on the shoulders in a friendly manner a few times, half of his body sank into the ground, and he decisively calmed down.

Once it absorbs more burial Yin spiritual energy, it will have even less room to resist.

After doing all this, the demons and ghosts returned to their seats and continued their feast.

Jiang Li turned and walked towards the ghost town.

"Master Zhaixing, please follow me."

Taoist Zhaixing was given a cold shoulder, but he couldn't beat the opponent, and his two disciples were still in the opponent's hands, so he could only follow behind him.

After passing the banquet, he saw the name of the huge city and understood where he was.

"Fengdu... It seems that my master and I have mistakenly entered the underworld."

He shook his head and smiled bitterly.

"I didn't expect that the ghost city of Fengdu in the underworld fantasy world would be occupied by a human cultivator. I admire you."

"And the Zombie King is extremely cruel. Our generation of cultivators should focus on slaying demons and eliminating evil... Fellow Daoist, do you really want to leave that evil behind?"

Taoist Zhaixing wanted to persuade Jiang Li to slay demons and eliminate evil, but when passing a wooden bridge, he looked down and saw millions of water ghosts floating in the moat below, so he swallowed his words.

"It seems that Taoist Zhaixing has not mastered the Maoshan Qi-gazing Technique?"

Jiang Li did not answer him, but asked a question in return.

"The Maoshan Qi-Watching Book requires talent, and I am ashamed that I don't have enough luck to practice it."

Sure enough, if he knew how to read qi, he would see that Jiang Li was surrounded by good fortune and virtue. He, Jiang, never worried about his fortune.

"Master Zhaixing, don't worry about my affairs."

"In my Fengdu City, humans and ghosts coexist peacefully. The only vicious conflict that has occurred recently was caused by you."

"Now, let's talk about Taoist Zhaixing and your two disciples."

This ghost town is indeed more orderly. There are many human monks wearing masks, and you can tell at a glance that they have been here for quite some time.

This work is organized and uploaded by Liujiu Book Bar~~

The rules of their Maoshan Taoist tradition do not allow them to teach others.

"I can guarantee that the Zombie King will not go out and harm people again. I can even return your magic weapons to you."

"However, there is no order without rules. You attacked my subordinates in Fengdu City again. You must pay the price."

They both walked very quickly and soon reached the center of the city, where there was a giant upside-down tree.

Countless ghosts surrounded the giant tree and worshiped it.

On those drooping roots, there are also countless evil spirits and demons hanging.

These monsters and ghosts seem to have a symbiotic relationship with this giant tree. A large number of ghosts on the ground don't even have a chance to hang on the tree.

"What do you need me to do, fellow Daoist?"

Taoist Zhaixing pondered for a moment and then asked.

This city lord, who wore a mask and never showed his true face, suddenly changed his mind and did not kill them after he discovered that they were Maoshan Taoists.

Obviously there was a demand for them, and now they were here.

Jiang Li raised his hand, and the branch of the giant tree automatically extended over, dropping a ripe spiritual fruit into his hand.

"Eat this spiritual fruit, and then help me find the original location of the underworld in this underworld!"

"If you succeed, the matter between the Taoist priest and your disciple can be written off."

In ancient times, the Nine Nether Wood, the spiritual root of heaven and earth, was captured by a powerful being. After its innate spiritual intelligence was wiped out, it was made into the main body of the reincarnation place.

As long as we find the original location of the underworld, the Nine Nether Wood will not be far away.

To seize the authority of the Nine Nether Wood is the best way to become an immortal for practitioners of the Nine Nether Taoist Scriptures. No matter what, he will not give up.

Letting the Maoshan Taoist priests do this task is a perfect match for their profession and could not be more suitable.

Although the Taoist Zhaixing was not sure, he had no choice but to accept it.

After all, he was asking others to work for him, so Jiang Li, as the host, didn't want to let his guests go hungry. After watching him eat a Nine Nether Fruit with one pattern, he returned the Money Sword, Maoshan Seal and a sleeve pocket to him.

Maoshan is indeed a place where ancestors were once wealthy, and the heritage left behind is indeed good.

In addition to the Golden Money Sword and the Maoshan Seal, the storage pocket on his body was also quite good.

Ordinary storage magic weapons cannot be opened in the unstable space of the underworld.

The person who picked the heart left with a worried look on his face.

Jiang Li did not go back to continue entertaining his group of men, but walked forward and directly into the inverted giant tree in front of him.

A root penetrated the earth and extended into the vast space below.

Jiang Li walked out of the roots and returned to the Changle Underground Palace.

"City Lord!"

When Jiang Li appeared, four rows of black-armored guards leading metal war beasts immediately knelt on one knee in front of them to welcome the arrival of the city lord.

They have a majestic aura and each of them is a powerful person at the level of God Transformation.

After several months of hard work, Fengdu City and Chongshan League finally managed to make enough Mengpo soup.

Combined with Qin Shuman's ghostly magic, memory and personality were reshaped, and all the Beast Madness Sect disciples were successfully "turned over a new leaf."

Those human monks who live in the ghost city of Fengdu wearing masks are them.

There are many things that ghosts and monsters cannot do, so they can do it.

Later, because there was a large amount of Meng Po soup, Jiang Li tried to give some to their metal war beasts as well.

It was found that if Meng Po soup was fed to those metal war beasts, their consciousness could be erased, making them easier to control, and the time for the war beasts to merge could be greatly extended.

After eating the upgraded version of the Nine Netherworld Fruit and fusing with the metal war beast, the fifty-six elders of the Beast Madness Sect have barely reached the standard for a job change to the Changle Guards.

Jiang Li found some Changle armors in the hidden warehouse of Changle Palace and distributed them to them.

After a period of training, this group of people who had once fought with the elders of the Beast Madness Sect were holding spears and wearing heavy armor.

The attackers could be heavy cavalry riding metal war beasts.

You can not only defend, but also merge with the war beast at any time to become the Changle Guards who are unmatched in melee combat.

Now, among Jiang Li’s subordinates, apart from the thirteen ghost kings of Fengdu City who were gradually subdued, they are the strongest.

"City Lord, there have been three riots in the stone tomb, but they have now been quelled."

Master Kong, the strongest among them, stood up and reported the situation to Jiang Li. That was also the key point that Jiang Li sent them to guard with all their strength.

Nodding and walking past the group of Changle guards, Jiang Li headed towards a closed barrier at the rear.

Behind them was a makeshift hemispherical stone tomb.

Jiang Li pushed open the stone door and walked in. A wave swept past him, causing the spiritual energy in his body to run wild in an instant, and a line of blood flowed from the corner of his mouth.

In the center of the stone tomb, there was a shield floating there, and on the shield, there was an eyeball-like bead spinning around.

What hurt him just now was this Dharma-Ending Spirit Pearl.

There is no way to adapt to the realm of the Dharma Ending Age. The stronger he becomes, the more dependent he becomes on spiritual energy and the greater the damage he will suffer.

Inside this stone tomb, there is another layer of seal separating it from an ordinary-looking hut.

He wrote a letter to the emperor and was exiled to Xianju.

This was specially dug out by Jiang Li from the underground of the Five Exiles City in the Ten Directions Domain.

There is a stone tomb on the outside, with the realm of the end of the law imposed in the middle, and the Exiled Immortal Residence bound inside. Jiang Li made such a big fuss because if the thing inside escapes, even he is not 100% sure to subdue it now.

There is probably another chapter later. I will try my best to update it.
