Chapter 30: Wandering Taoist Priest



"From the looks of it, it should be the wandering Taoist profession. This profession is at least C+ level, or even B level!" Xu Feng thought to himself.

The wandering Taoist priest is an initial profession with great potential. Xu Feng had seen many secret realm apostles of the Taoist profession in his previous life and was quite familiar with this profession.

Every apostle of the Taoist profession is almost an all-rounder, practicing both martial arts and magic, and knowing how to make alchemy and form formations. He can attack or defend, and is best at exorcising monsters and suppressing evil. In some special secret realms, if there is a Taoist priest, he will be the key to success, and he is one of the professions with the highest survivability among all professions.

The job that Xu Feng wanted to do before, that of a sword master, and the job that he does now, that of a talisman master, are also somewhat related to the Taoist profession. In other words, a secret realm apostle whose initial profession is a Taoist priest may eventually advance to a sword master or a talisman master.

However, the initial S-level professions are all unique. Apart from Xu Feng, no one else will take up the profession of Talisman Master. But the same is not necessarily true for Sword Master. If no one obtains the initial profession of Sword Master, it is very likely that a certain profession will be able to advance all the way to Sword Master in the future.

"This..." Xu Feng was just about to invite the Taoist priest into the house for a chat. Since the Taoist priest had mentioned "drawing talismans to predict fortune" before, it meant that he could draw Taoist talismans. It was a good opportunity for Xu Feng to communicate with him. Perhaps he could learn different talismans from the Taoist priest.

However, before Xu Feng finished speaking, a student rushed to the Taoist priest at lightning speed, knelt down on both knees, and shouted loudly: "Master, please accept me as your disciple. I am willing to follow you to seek immortality and learn Taoism!"

Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be the transfer student Zhou Liwei. Since entering the secret realm, this guy has been wandering around the town, not leaving out any alleys. As long as he likes someone, he will always go up to chat with the other person. It has been more than a week, and he still hasn't chosen his initial career.

There are many transfer students like him. They have all been well prepared and have a lot of gold in their arms. They have already completed the main task. Their goal is to find an S-level initial career. At the very least, they want an A or B-level. These transfer students don't even look down on initial careers below C level.

The wandering Taoist priest was obviously frightened by Zhou Liwei's behavior. He tilted his head and stared at Zhou Liwei carefully. When he saw Zhou Liwei's simple clothes, he couldn't help but curl his lips and a mocking look appeared on his face.

"I travel all over the world just to make a living. I don't have the time or energy to teach you martial arts. I won't accept you. Get out of the way. Don't block me, or I'll make you suffer!"

As he spoke, the wandering Taoist priest shook the bell in his hand heavily again.

Dang~ A crisp bell rang out, and Zhou Liwei felt his whole body tremble. His chest felt as if it was hit by a wooden hammer. He had difficulty breathing, and even a salty-sweet taste came out in his mouth.

"I have money, I have money!" Zhou Liwei quickly took out all the gold from his arms, placed it on the ground, and said loudly: "As long as Master can accept me as a disciple, I am willing to give all this gold to you as a filial gift!"

Seeing the gold on the ground, the wandering Taoist's eyes suddenly lit up. The gold in front of Zhou Liwei was as much as seven or eight taels. For a wandering Taoist who could not afford three meals a day, this temptation was simply irresistible.

The wandering Taoist priest, with greed in his eyes, couldn't help swallowing. He looked at the gold, then at Zhou Liwei. A bright smile suddenly appeared on his thin face. He grabbed Zhou Liwei and put the seven or eight taels of gold on the ground into his arms.

"My dear disciple, please get up quickly. I am really moved by your sincere desire to become an immortal and learn Taoism. Well, I will make an exception today and accept you as my disciple. From now on, you will follow me, travel around the mountains and rivers, and seek immortals and learn Taoism. Even if you cannot become an immortal in the future, you can at least live a free and easy life. Isn't that wonderful!" The wandering Taoist laughed.

"Thank you, Master, thank you, Master..." Zhou Liwei's face showed excitement. After a moment, he seemed to be stunned, and then he burst into laughter.

"B+ level initial profession, hahahaha, I got a B+ level initial profession, wandering Taoist priest! Two initial skills, two initial skills!"

After working hard in Qingfeng Town for more than a week, Zhou Liwei finally reaped the rewards of his hard work and his dream came true. Although he did not get the legendary S-level initial job, he was already far ahead of most people by getting a B+ level initial job from the beginning.

"Master, Master, accept me, accept me!"

"Master, I am very talented and can learn anything very quickly. Please accept me as your apprentice."

"I have gold too, Master. As long as you accept me, I can give you not only eight or ten taels, but even one hundred or one thousand taels... But it will take some time!"

In a blink of an eye, more than a dozen students surrounded the wandering Taoist priest. This was only because there were only so many students around, as most of the others were working hard. If it were a little later, there would probably be more people coming.

Many transfer students were well prepared and had three or five taels of gold on them. In order to obtain the B+ level initial profession, the wandering Taoist priest, they took out all of it and knelt on the ground begging bitterly.

If these people had taken out three or five taels of gold before Zhou Liwei, the Taoist priest would probably have reluctantly accepted it. Then Zhou Liwei would have given another seven or eight taels, and perhaps he would have been able to accept one more disciple.

But Zhou Liwei gave too much at the beginning, seven or eight taels of gold, which raised the wandering Taoist's expectations a lot. Later, the students gave three or five taels, so the wandering Taoist naturally would not agree.

This is like a commodity that can be sold for seven or eight taels of gold, so how can it be sold for only three or five taels? Even if its value is not even as good as three or five taels of gold.

However, for a B+ level initial profession, let alone seven or eight taels of gold, even ten or twenty taels is not expensive. Zhou Liwei can be said to have picked up a great bargain.

There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!

The wandering Taoist saw the chaos around him and immediately frowned. He shouted, "The Dharma cannot be passed on lightly, and the Tao cannot be taught lightly. You are so messy, how can you look like a monk? Get out of my way, or don't blame me for being rude!"

After saying this, the wandering Taoist priest raised the bell in his hand and shook it vigorously.

Ding~ The sound of the bell was like a huge bell, ringing in everyone's ears, like a red-hot iron rod, piercing the eardrum and going straight into the mind.

Screams suddenly rang out, and everyone covered their ears and fled far away.

The wandering Taoist snorted coldly, grabbed Zhou Liwei's wrist, and shouted: "Good disciple, follow me and leave here."

After saying this, the two of them walked at a speed that seemed slow but was actually very fast. In the blink of an eye, they had walked more than ten meters away. In a short while, both of them had disappeared.
