“Shocking the soul?” Chen Luo looked at the exquisite little tower that Grandma Jin placed on the table, hesitant in his heart. Granny Jin just told Chen Luo the ins and outs of the whole thing, and bluntly said that this is the only way to split the soul.

　　”What effect will it have on me?” Chen Luo asked.

　　”I won’t deceive Your Excellency. Shocking the soul is originally a Taoist punishment, which makes the soul continuously assaulted, as if being covered by a big bell, and someone outside is constantly beating it…” Granny Jin explained calmly, “When the soul is shocked, it cannot completely be in tune with the body.”

　　”It has only been two days since Sir and my little beast have fused the souls. According to my estimation, it will take about one stick of incense to complete the separation of the souls.”

　　”For Sir, in the future, he may be slower than ordinary people in his actions, and his intelligence will not be weakened, but his thoughts will be slower.”

　　”This old woman promises that he will definitely collect spiritual materials and medicines to help the lord to recover. Besides, I, Jin Sanshun, will personally owe him a favor.”

　　”This is this old woman’s promise!”

　　Grandma Jin said a lot in one breath, but Chen Luo had already rejected the proposal in his heart.

　　What a joke, he, Chen Luo, is going to take martial arts next, and he pays attention to the unity of mind and body, from the eyes to the hands to the heart. If he really agreed to Granny Jin’s request, wouldn’t he have ruined his cultivation path?

　　Don’t talk about compensation and favors, after all, the one suffering will be him alone.

　　It’s just that his person is under another’s turf, things would probably not be resolved with him disagreeing. 

　　”What if I don’t agree?” Chen Luo was silent for a moment and finally decided to say it directly. It’s not that he didn’t think about delaying the arrival of the people from the court, but he didn’t think that this little trick could be hidden from Granny Jin’s eyes.

　　Grandma Jin smiled lightly: “To be honest, I really like you, child. And because you were able to escape from death, I am especially empathetic towards you… It’s just… Guagua is my grandson. Let’s not mention whether you will affect Guagua’s cultivation first, but what if your lifespan is already up?”

　　”You are just an ordinary person, only having a hundred years at most. You are at the end of your life, and because he fused his soul with yours, in a mild case, Guagua will only be seriously injured, but he might die if it was a serious case. I don’t dare to gamble…”

　　Grandma Jin raised her hand and pointed at Chen Luo. Chen Luo only felt that his whole body was bound by a force, and he couldn’t move for a moment.

　　Granny Jin formed a few seals in her hands and penetrated into the Soul Shaking Tower. The Soul Shaking Tower radiated a faint light, and it rose into the sky and flew towards Chen Luo.

　　Chen Luo couldn’t break free, and shouted: “Mrs. Jin, I am a hero of the Great Xuan, the Lord of Wan An, who was canonized personally by His Majesty. Are you not afraid of the court’s punishment?”

　　Granny Jin shook her head slightly: “I can still bear a little punishment with my current condition. Lord of Wan An, I have offended you, don’t worry, my previous promise is still valid.”

　　”I don’t need it!” Chen Luo struggled hard, but couldn’t use any strength. At this time, the Soul Shaking Tower had already flown over Chen Luo, and Chen Luo only felt a suction force falling on him, and his mind seemed to be sucked into a black hole…

　　”Impudent!” At this moment, a roar sounded out of thin air.

　　A cold light shot through the wall and hit the Soul Tower, which turned out to be a flying sword. The sharp point of the flying sword was on the body of the Soul Shaking Tower. The Soul Shaking Tower seemed to be hit by a huge force, and flew out backwards, smashed through another wall, and no one knows where it fell.

　　Granny Jin’s complexion changed, her skin was covered in scales like copper coins, and her body was full of majestic demon power, like waves in a calm sea, ready to meet the enemy. When she saw the two figures falling in front of her, she was surprised at first, and then immediately gathered and retracted her demon power and saluted respectfully; “Disciple Jin Sanshun, I have seen Daojun Tianling!”

　　The people who came were the former Master Yuanxia and the middle-aged Daoist. This middle-aged Daoist, Granny Jin naturally knew that she was Master Yuanxia, Toaist’s title Daojun, he is Daojun Tianling.

　　Daojun Tianling glared at Granny Jin, snorted coldly, and turned his head to see Chen Luo who had a pale face. With a wave of his hand, released Granny Jin’s restraint on Chen Luo. Then a kind smile appeared on his face, and he stepped forward: “This little friend should be the amazing and talented Daxuan’s Lord of Wan An, the virtuous and good teacher of my Taoist sect, right? “

　　Among his words, the three words of “virtuous and good teacher” was especially emphasized in tone. Read the most updated version of this novel and other amazing translated novels from the original source at Novel Multiverse – “NovelMultiverse dot com”

　　Chen Luo: (′ ｀;)？

　　Grandma Jin: (⊙_⊙)?

　　…

　　After relocating to a different room, and after some conversations, Chen Luo realized that the middle-aged uncle with a wretched smile in front of him turned out to be a Daoist Daojun, and an existence in the same position as a Great Confucian Scholar. And the Taoist nun standing beside him was the Master Yuanxia who proposed the method of shaking the soul.

　　Grandma Jin sat next to Master Yuanxia, ​​her face was neither happy nor angry, and there was not a trace of strangeness on her face. On the contrary, Tianling Daojun looked very lively and kept explaining to Chen Luo the benefits of Taoist sect for virtuous teachers.

　　”So, Taoist Sect intends to let Zhong Kui join the Taoist Sect?” Chen Luo asked.

　　Daojun Tianling nodded and shook his head again: “Yes, but not only that. As the master of Zhong Kui, Your Excellency is naturally worthy of the canonization of my virtuous teacher.”

　　Chen Luo raised his eyebrows. He already understood the purpose of Daojun Tianling. In short, it was to give Zhong Kui an identity in the Taoist sect.

　　If you think about it, you can see that it must be that the Taoist Sect got the news of Zhong Kui exterminating ghosts, and also knew that the court planned to promote it, and the Taoist Sect did not want to give up its influence in this field.

　　But Wei Yan and Chen Luo talked about it before, Zhong Kui’s matter involved the fate of Da Xuan, so the court would definitely not compromise.

　　Therefore, the way that the Taoist Sect thought of, was that Zhong Kui would continue to catch ghosts as he liked, but he had to do it in the identity of a Taoist.

　　And if you want Zhong Kui to have the identity of a Taoist, then Chen Luo’s identity must be established.

　　After all, Zhong Kui is not the spirit of nature, but Chen Luo’s book spirit. As long as Chen Luo’s Daoist identity is obtained, the question of Zhong Kui’s origin will naturally be solved.

　　In order to achieve this goal, the Taoist Sect used various relationships to delay the team sent by Daxuan to escort Chen Luo, and arrived first, just to let Chen Luo accept the canonization of the Taoist Sect first.

　　After being able to deduce that he had a general grasp of the ins and outs of the whole thing, Chen Luo was sure in his heart. In this way, the Taoist Sect was begging him, so the matter about Grandma Jin had become easy.

　　”Mr. Dao, I would like to communicate with the court a little more about this matter. After all, Mr. Wei and Mr. Su have both instructed me at that time that the matter of Zhong Kui involves the fortune of the country, please forgive me for not taking the initiative!”

　　At this time, Chen Luo had two considerations in his mind. First, he really should talk to the imperial court about this matter. After all, the identity of being the Lord of Wan An has been enacted, and the other is to see if he can force the other party to help him solve Grandma Jin’s situation over here.

　　”Lord of Wan An, this old woman has offended you before!” Before waiting for Daojun Tianling to speak, Granny Jin took the initiative to stand up and gave Chen Luo a salute. After speaking, a copper coin slowly appeared on her forehead and floated in front of Chen Luo.

　　”This is a ‘life-buying copper coin’ that can only be condensed by this old woman after a hundred years. You can replace it to escape death once and I’m giving it to Wan Anbo for self-defense. I hope that what happened today won’t affect Lord Wan An’s view on my Taoist Sect…”

　　Chen Luo looked at the copper coin in front of him, and at this time, he was feeling a little guilty. After all, what the little frog is to save him, and Grandma Jin is also thinking for the little frog.

　　Putting aside one’s position to have a say on what is right or wrong, is the conduct of naive thinking.

　　It’s just, they all realized that he has a bright future…

　　”Granny, please take it back.” Chen Luo shook his head, “When Brother Frog wakes up, we will discuss how to solve this matter? After all, the parties involved are Brother Frog and I, what do you think?”

　　Grandma Jin didn’t answer, just looked at Chen Luo with a deep eye, and finally bowed her hands at Daojun Tianling, and walked out slowly, but she didn’t take back the copper coins that can buy a life.

　　…

　　A white crane flew out of the Fuyun Mountain, holding the Soul Shaking Tower in its mouth, and landed in the courtyard. After shaking his body, he turned into the white crane Toaoist boy who delivered the letter before. He was about to go inside and saw Ning Bing looking at him with a smile.

　　”Aunt Bing, you haven’t rested yet?”

　　Ning Bing slowly approached: “What a good boy, you found the Soul Tower so quickly.”

　　Baihe Daotong patted his chest proudly: “Naturally, I was playing in the sky before and saw the direction in which the Soul Shaking Tower was thrown. Grandpa asked me to look for it. I followed it and found it soon.”

　　Ning Bing patted Baihe Daotong’s head gently: “Okay, let’s go to sleep. I’ll send this soul-shaking tower to granny.”

　　Baihe Daotong nodded: “Okay! Thank you, Aunt Bing!” After saying that, he jumped and ran to the small courtyard where he lived.

　　Ning Bing held the Soul Shaking Tower in her hand, turned her head to look in the direction of Jin Guagua’s courtyard, and there was a flash of determination in her eyes… Read the most updated version of this novel and other amazing translated novels from the original source at Novel Multiverse – “NovelMultiverse dot com”
