Divine & Bizarre: Increasing Points to Invincibility-Chapter 71: This Kind of Tumor, He, Fan Wu, is All Too Familiar with It! _1

Chapter 71: Chapter 71: This Kind of Tumor, He, Fan Wu, is All Too Familiar with It! _1

Quite a formidable Taoist — that was Fan Wu’s first thought after seeing the other party’s attribute information. 𝒻𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝘯𝘰𝑣ℯ𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝘮

The Taoist’s Power attribute was very high, infinitely close to that half-step Flying Zombie Fan Wu had encountered a few days earlier.

That zombie, having no intelligence to speak of, could utilize 25 points out of its 30 Power attribute points, which was already remarkable.

In other words, if they strictly competed in using techniques...

Given this old Taoist time to prepare, perhaps he could also eliminate that zombie!

This was enough to indicate the old Taoist was very capable.

As for the few young Taoists beside him?

Fan Wu simply glanced at them and knew they were all disciples of the old Taoist, all Taoists from something called "Tianfu Mountain."

As for their strength...

It was passable.

They were on par with Chen Zhuan.

And when faced with the old Taoist’s curious inquiry about whether he was from the "Pure Yang lineage," Fan Wu’s response was particularly straightforward, "No."

He didn’t have the faintest idea what the Pure Yang lineage was!

Not to mention any Pure Yang cultivation techniques; Fan Wu was completely ignorant of them.

"Not?" The old Taoist paused, Fan Wu’s response seemed to hit a knowledge blind spot, and he was quite astonished, "Not from the Pure Yang lineage, yet capable of cultivating such vigor and yang energy, truly astonishing indeed."

However, the old Taoist quickly realized that prying into the affairs of a stranger may not be very polite.

He curbed his curiosity, performed a Taoist salute, and said, "This poor Taoist is the sixth-generation mountain master of Tianfu Mountain, with the Taoist name Chong Hengzi. These young ones behind me are my disciples."

"Xu Feng, Xu Lin, Xu Huo, Xu Shan, why are you like mute people? Have you forgotten everything your teacher has instructed you in daily life?"

"Xu Feng, I have seen fellow Taoist."

"Xu Lin, I have seen fellow Taoist."

"Xu Huo, I have seen fellow Taoist."

"Xu Shan, I have seen fellow Taoist."

The four disciples of Chong Hengzi hastily greeted Fan Wu, clearly viewing their master Chong Hengzi as extremely authoritative in their eyes.

"Fan Wu, from Qiulong Temple." These Taoists were quite polite, and Fan Wu casually revealed his origin.

Qiulong Temple?

Chong Hengzi carefully recalled but realized he was unaware of such a Taoist temple.

He had heard, however, of a place called Qiulong County within Yinghe Prefecture.

He wondered if there was any connection to Qiulong Temple.

Although Chong Hengzi had never heard of Qiulong Temple, he still said very politely, "So you are Fellow Taoist Fan Wu from Qiulong Temple! Long admired, long admired!"

Then he led his four disciples to a table next to where Fan Wu was sitting.

A shop assistant immediately scampered over.

Chong Hengzi gestured for his disciples to order the food themselves, as they were quite reliable and ordered very properly.

Such as foods forbidden by Taoists, they would certainly not order.

Just as Chong Hengzi was sipping his tea, intending to chat with Fan Wu...

Suddenly.

Chong Hengzi watched as an inn’s shop assistant brought over a large bowl of sliced meat to Fan Wu’s table, and politely said, "Guest, here is the beef you ordered."

"Pfft!" Chong Hengzi’s mouthful of tea sprayed out, his eyes wide as bells, staring at the large bowl of meat slices before Fan Wu.

The reaction of his four disciples...was even more exaggerated than his own as the master.

"Beef... Beef?!" The young Taoist named "Xu Huo" stared at Fan Wu in disbelief.

He looked at Fan Wu, looked at the beef, and then looked at his own mountain master...

Feeling his worldview was hugely challenged.

Fan Wu frowned and turned to them, "What’s the matter?!"

"Fellow Taoist, how could you..." one of Chong Hengzi’s disciples started to say something, but was cut off halfway by Chong Hengzi.

Chong Hengzi gestured to his disciple not to speak rashly.

He then coughed lightly, wiped the tea stains from the corner of his mouth, and smiled, "It’s normal for the Daoist Sects of different heritages to have varying prohibitions. It must be that Qiulong Temple has no such prohibition against the eating of beef. This is completely normal; you all needn’t be so surprised."

Fan Wu: "?"

So Taoists weren’t allowed to eat beef? Was there really such a rule in place?

Fan Wu suddenly realized!

Truth be told, this was the first time he had heard of such a dietary prohibition.

The problem was...

When his master was still alive, he also killed cows and ate their flesh every day!

Oh! His master was a swindler from the jianghu.

Well, that settled it!

Fan Wu was not concerned about these prohibitions or the lack thereof.

If it were him from the time he spent in Qiulong County, he would surely have racked his brains to come up with an excuse that wouldn’t give him away.

But now,

he needed no such excuses.

With a body as strong as divine weaponry and boasting no less than 40 points in "Power" Attribute, what he said was what it was, without the need to overexplain to anyone.

Fan Wu savored the beef slices with relish, causing Chong Hengzi and his disciples to stare in astonishment.

After all, this was their first time witnessing a Taoist eating beef!

The visual shock they received was tremendous.

After a meal satisfying in both food and drink,

Chong Hengzi seemed to remember something and kindly cautioned Fan Wu, "You appear quite young, my friend, and I presume that this is your first time attending the City God’s birthday. I implore you to be a bit more cautious in the coming days."

Fan Wu glanced at him,

indicating for him to continue.

Chong Hengzi stroked his long beard and explained, "As you may know, the City God’s birthday in Yinghe City is merely a few days away. During this period, strange occurrences are bound to happen. After all, no one can guarantee whether the humans and creatures coming here will abide by the rules."

"I participated in the birthday celebration ten years ago, and at that time, a creature took advantage of the situation, causing great mischief and resulting in the deaths of quite a few cultivators."

"Although that troublesome creature was eventually eliminated by the City Lord God, those who died because of it could not be brought back to life."

Fan Wu nodded slightly.

He mused thoughtfully.

Malevolent creatures? Weren’t they just a bunch of walking Free Attribute Points?

"Of course, my friend Fan Wu need not worry too much. Yinghe Prefecture’s Imperial Heaven Bureau, as well as some officials under the City God, will be strengthening the defenses of Yinghe Prefecture these days."

Chong Hengzi continued, "Actually, there is no harm in speaking frankly. Besides attending the City God’s birthday, another purpose of my coming here is to pursue those malevolent creatures."

"Ten years ago, among the malevolents, there was one particular creature that killed a Taoist from Tianfu Mountain. That creature later vanished without a trace."

"I believe it still exists in this world! If it appears in Yinghe Prefecture during these few days,

I, Chong Hengzi, will be resolute in destroying it!!!"

A fierce killing intent burst forth from the Taoist, who otherwise radiated an aura of a dignified sage.

Fan Wu could see it.

The man was furious.

"Hmph!" Chong Hengzi quickly composed himself and showed a hint of an apology, "My apologies. Wishing life as boundless as the Immeasurable Heavenly Honored, I must confess to being somewhat obsessed, but this enmity must be avenged for my Daoist heart to be at ease."

"Before my junior brother’s death, he managed to cast a spell on that creature, severing a part of its body," Chong Hengzi reached into his sleeve and pulled out an object: "Part of the creature’s body is this thing here."

"Friend Fan Wu, if you happen to encounter a similar creature, please inform me! Tianfu Mountain will certainly offer a generous reward!"

What he produced caught Fan Wu by surprise.

It was a somewhat shriveled lump of flesh, which seemed to still possess some vitality as it wriggled slightly.

This thing...

Fan Wu was all too familiar with it!
