The fish-eyed old man raised his eyes for a rare moment. He glanced at the rest of the group and said with a smile: "I thought you were not afraid of death, so you came here empty-handed. I didn't expect you to want a safer position."
"You may not be able to get a safer position in the alchemy room even if you have money, but why don't you spend money... Could it be that your guide didn't teach you the rules of Blackwater Town?"
"Eh!" The old man with fish-eyes flipped through the thick book in his hand. He stared at one page and said in surprise:
"You guys have been in this town for a year and five months. It's strange that you just came to get the position now!"
The old Taoist frowned again and said, "The Yu family in Qian County is a commoner. It's just a small family. Didn't they starve to death?"
After reading the back book, the fish-eyed old man thought about it for a while and came to his senses:
"Tsk! With no support from the family, and having lived in the town for so long without working or eating, it seems that Taoist friend is ready to take root in the town and become a mortal. It's a wise move. In this case, just settle down and be a mortal in the town.
Just be a mortal. I have a good position here, but without money, you won’t be able to wait until you die.”
The life that Yu Lie lives in is a prosperous age of immortality. There is an immortal court above the Taoist court, and there are immortals sitting in the immortal court. The whole world is revered by Taoism. But if you want to practice Taoism in this world, you must first take the Taoist examination.
It is similar to Yu Lie's ancient fame in his previous life.
"Nine-grade boy's urn" is the grade of Taoist urn that Yu Lie was awarded after he worked hard to obtain the qualifications for cultivating Taoism.
Only by possessing Tongzilu can he be qualified to access real cultivation books and absorb spiritual energy. Otherwise, once discovered, he will be killed regardless of whether he is a human, monster or ghost.
But having the qualifications does not mean that you have the qualifications to practice Taoism. Yu Lie was a concubine in a small family. The family was still in ruins, and there was no shortage of wealthy couples, Dharma, and land.

So in order to obtain the Taoist martial arts books and spiritual energy supplies, he had no choice but to obey the Taoist court's distribution and come to the wild and dangerous Blackwater Town.
During the first three years in Heishui Town, the town would be responsible for the Taoist disciples’ training needs for each realm. Occasionally, Taoist disciples would give lectures and give a small amount of spiritual energy subsidies every month.
But the price is that when the Taoist boys come to the town, they will be responsible for their lives. If they fail to pass the eighth-level Taoist apprenticeship examination within three years, their benefits will end, and they will be rooted in the town for the rest of their lives, enriching the population and unable to leave.
The fish-eyed old Taoist in the Daolu Court thought that Yu Lie had already given up the opportunity to leave the town and planned to take root and live a peaceful life.
But this is not the case for Yu Lie.
In the past year or so, the reason why he was willing to stay dormant in the courtyard instead of going out to work to make money was because he was concerned about the risks of working in the town.
Because many of Yu Lie's classmates, even people of the same clan, could not bear the desire and urgency, and went to the tiger mountain knowing that there were tigers in the mountains. At first, they wanted to make money for cultivating the Taoism, but in the end they destroyed the road for the sake of money.
Yu Lie had no background and didn't want to ruin his career, so he chose to work hard in a courtyard, guarding the coffins he brought from home and not daring to use them. He also used his time to exchange for supplies. He was cautious and accumulated to the extreme.
In the Taoist courtyard.
After listening to the fish-eyed and seasoned Didi Gu, Yu Lie didn't take the opponent's complaints to heart. He thought about it and chose to suspend receiving the position first.
Position is related to the choice of cultivation skills, which is very important for Taoists. It is a skill that allows them to settle down and make a living. Especially for children from poor families, once it is wasted, it will be difficult to obtain it again.
If Yu Lie had not chosen to come to Blackwater Town, he would not even have the qualifications to come into contact with cultivation techniques.
After all, a skill that can make money is extremely precious, and only the Taoist court will open the door to facilitate it.
Yu Lie said to the old Taoist with dead eyes: "Then I'll trouble you, Taoist Master. I'll keep my qualifications first and suspend receiving them."
When the old Taoist heard this, he smoothed his gray beard, nodded and said, "You can teach me a boy." After that, he held the brush and shook it at Yu Lie, signaling Yu Lie to step back.
But Yu Lie did not go away. Before the old Taoist had time to show his displeasure, Yu Lie smiled and said:
"One more thing, Pindao came here today to correct the grade of the Taoist instrument and receive the skills."
According to the Taoist's own realm, the ninth-grade boy is divided into four categories: last, lower, middle, upper and fourth.
Every time the Taoist boys in Blackwater Town complete a transformation and advance to a small level, they are obliged to report to the Taoist Temple in a timely manner. According to the agreement, the town will also provide a skill as a reward.
Yu Lie came here today. In addition to asking about the position, the more important thing is to upgrade the Taoist level and receive the skills!
The skills of the last Taoist boy are not worth mentioning. Only by starting from the lower Taoist boys can you practice more powerful skills that can develop your magic power!
The fish-eyed old Taoist was obviously stunned when he heard Yu Lie's words, and even the young Taoist boys lined up behind Yu Lie were also stunned.
Just now, they were despising Yu Lie in their hearts for being a courageous old man who deserved to be a mortal, but they didn't show it. But now Yu Lie said that he needed to correct his Taoist level to receive the skills. It was obvious that he had achieved a breakthrough and was already extraordinary.
!
The old man with dead fish eyes reacted and glanced at Yu Lie a few times. He also felt strange. He said: "I haven't worked for more than a year, but I still have money to complete the transformation. It's rare. It's almost time to get off work, and I'm the only one left.
One, just follow me and let me check it out."
The old Taoist walked out from behind the stage and walked into the hall with great force. His steps were quick and Yu Lie quickly followed.
The three young Taoist boys who lined up behind the rest of the queue hesitated, wanting to follow and learn more, but they were afraid of breaking the rules, so they held back!
Yu Lie and Lao Dao came to a large back hall. There were oil pans, knife mountains, fire pits, stone mills and other scary utensils in the hall.
The oil in the oil pot is boiling, and the pot is so big that it can cook a whole cow; the mountain of knives is shining with cold light, as high as a building; the fire pit is generating heat waves, which can melt copper and iron; the stone grinding stones are like tofu, stacked one on top of another.
These are the tools used to test the grade of a Taoist.
While wandering around the field, the old man with dead fish eyes introduced: "The transformation of like a wolf and a tiger is mainly to increase a person's strength. Those who can resist the stone mill with their physical body and crush it can pass. But it is not guaranteed that some people have a solid foundation and a strong skin."
It is also tough and powerful, so it has four categories: mountains of swords, seas of fire, and stone grinding oil pots."
The old Taoist signaled Yu Lie to join the battle: "You can use it as you wish. There is a talisman coin in each level. The more talisman coins you get, the more powerful the skills you can receive later."
After the explanation, the old Taoist put his hands behind his back again and said:
"There are ghost soldiers stationed here. Remember not to cheat. Anyone who violates this rule will be kicked off the Taoist list. You can work slowly here first. There are three people waiting outside. I'll come over after I've sent them away."
"Don't worry, the old master is very fast."
But as soon as the fish-eyed old man turned around and before he even took half a step, Yu Lie stopped him and put his hand on his shoulder.
The old Taoist was stunned and turned around.
I saw Yu Lie standing in front of the Taoist, smiling and calling: "Taoist, please stay."
"It takes too much time to go and come back again."
Talking and making a gurgling sound!
Yu Lie slowly turned his back, his voice made a sound of gold and iron, sonorous and harsh, his figure also swelled, he was as tall as a house, and he became evil in the blink of an eye.
next moment.
Yu Lie's body stood still, and only his head turned around, looking back like a wolf.
His face had fangs like razors. He looked down at the old Taoist, pointed his paw in front of him, and said with a smile:
