My Apprenticeship to Uncle Jiu: I Was a Warlord in the Republic of China

Chapter 179 Returning to Qingyun Temple, Shocking Uncle 9

When Shi Kuan heard someone asking a question, he immediately looked up at the person who asked, "So it's you, fellow Taoist. I wonder what you want to see the steward about?"

"To be honest, I am a disciple of Maoshan. I saw this tiger monster today and I really liked it. I want to buy it and give it to the elders in the sect. I wonder if you can help introduce it to me?"

Shi Kuan looked at Jiang Li in surprise when he heard this, "So you are a disciple of Mount Mao, no wonder you are so righteous."

"This is just a piece of cake. Just follow me, fellow Taoist."

Afterwards, he took Jiang Li to find the manager of the trade fair.

"I am Zhou Huairen, the manager of this trade fair. I heard that you want to buy this tiger monster. What can you offer in exchange?"

Jiang Li bowed immediately upon hearing this, "I came here in a hurry, and apart from the gold, silver and money, there are some unexpected gains along the way, but I didn't bring any precious materials."

"If possible, I can trade with you for 1000 dollars, plus these magic tools and spells."

As he said this, he took out the evil techniques and magic weapons he had obtained from killing those evil cultivators along the way.

Zhou Huairen frowned when he saw the things Jiang Li took out. "Fellow Daoist, you are a disciple of Mount Mao, why are you carrying so many evil magic and evil weapons? Don't you have anything used by righteous cultivators?"

When Jiang Li saw this, he knew that it would be impossible to get the tiger monster without giving out something valuable.

So he gritted his teeth and took out a few books from his arms (storage bag). Seeing this, Zhou Huairen leaned forward and saw the names of these books at a glance.

These books are: "Taming Beasts", "Raising Spirits" and "Taiqing Soul Control Technique".

Zhou Huairen's eyes widened immediately upon seeing this. If these books were real, they would be priceless, especially the Taiqing Yuhun Jue, which was obviously an authentic Taoist technique.

However, in order to verify whether it is true or false, "Daoyou, may I take a look at these books to confirm their value."

"Of course you can, but you should know that these books are very valuable. I can't take them all out. If you agree, you can pick any one to look at."

"I can trade this living tiger demon with you for three hundred dollars, plus the magic weapons and spells of those evil cultivators, and the book you selected!"

Zhou Huairen frowned slightly when he heard this, but after thinking it over for a while, he made a decision, "This is fair. Let me take a look at the "Shangqing Yugui Jue" first. If it is confirmed to be correct, the deal will be done!"

Speaking of which, this "Shangqing Yugui Jue" was seized from the Dragon Slayer Taoist. Now this copy is also a handwritten copy, so Jiang Li didn't feel very sad to take it out for exchange.

Zhou Huairen closed the book after looking through it for a long time. With his knowledge, although he could not be 100% sure that the book was authentic, he was 70% sure.

So he immediately said to Jiang Li, "I am not well-informed enough to recognize this Shangqing secret method, but just because of your reputation as a disciple of Maoshan, I shouldn't doubt anything!"

"If you have no objection, then our deal is done. What do you think?"

Jiang Li of course had no objection when he heard it, and he readily reached a deal with him. After that, he successfully obtained the tiger monster.

Jiang Li, who got the tiger monster, did not leave immediately, but continued to participate in the trade fair. He certainly did not run into the crowd to join in the fun, but lingered on the edge.

When he saw a suitable one, he would negotiate a deal with it, and what he used for the transaction was mostly money. Anyway, these were only medicinal herbs that were 20 or 30 years old, and it was impossible to exchange them for any advanced skills.

After the trade fair ended, Jiang Li brought his men back to the inn. After feeding the tiger monster two chickens, he ignored it.

After all, this guy is very wild now, so it is impossible to get close to it and treat it. We might as well just ignore it and wait for it to recover from its injuries on its own.

The next morning, after breakfast, he set off with his men in a horse-drawn carriage. In order to prevent anyone from attacking them, he took out four Czech light machine guns from his storage bag and mounted them on the carriage.

The others also drew their guns, and this posture immediately discouraged those who wanted to attack them. After all, twenty armed soldiers were not something that ordinary people would dare to covet.

It's certainly not that Jiang Li is afraid of being ambushed. His original intention is to get someone to rob him so that he can kill them and steal their corpses. Otherwise, he wouldn't be so ostentatious in his shopping spree.

But now because of the tiger demon, if he was killed accidentally, he would suffer a great loss.

Thanks to the deterrence of these guns and the reputation of Maoshan, they were able to leave the territory of Bailian Sect smoothly without encountering any danger.

After that, they traveled for seven or eight days before finally arriving at Qingyun Temple. After they transported the giant tiger monster to the mountain, it immediately caused a commotion.

This directly alarmed Uncle Jiu, who was interpreting divinations for pilgrims. When he walked out of the hall and saw the tiger demon trapped in a large iron cage, he was also shocked.

This was not because he was shocked by its size, but because he was shocked by the demonic aura it exuded. With Uncle Jiu's current cultivation level, he could tell at a glance that the tiger demon's cultivation level was probably over a hundred years old.

Perhaps he had already cultivated the inner elixir by now, and he didn't know how his disciple caught it.

But he immediately realized, "Ali, what's wrong with you? You just left this thing here and didn't carry it to the back hall. Don't you see that it's already scaring the pilgrims?"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Li ordered his men to carry the tiger demon away to prevent it from causing greater disturbance.

Watching the Taoist soldiers carrying the tiger demon away, Uncle Jiu hurriedly took out a few demon-suppressing talismans from the main hall and pasted them on the iron cage. Then he nodded and took Jiang Li to the main hall.

After Jiang Li finished paying homage to the Three Pure Ones, Uncle Jiu asked about what he had gained during this period, and Jiang Li naturally told the truth.

Uncle Jiu heard what Jiang Li said. In addition to the tiger monster, they also captured three other monsters, namely a cow, a pig and a dog.

After learning that although the cultivation base of these three monsters was not very high, they had all reached the level where their blood could be collected, he could not help but sigh once again that Jiang Li's luck was truly extraordinary.

Seeing that Uncle Jiu was still thinking, he said directly, "Master, I calculated the time. Tingting is about to give birth in one or two months."

"As a husband, it's not a good idea for me to run around all the time, so I plan to stay at home for a while. If there is anything, I will wait until Tingting gives birth to the baby."

"You should have done this earlier. You insisted on looking for some opportunity before, and you said that you were afraid that it would be snatched away by your uncles. Now you realize that something is wrong!"

"Master, you are right. I just thought of this a while ago, so I led people to explore all the marked points on the map, but I didn't go to the forests and markets where the specialty herbs are produced."
