I Only Want to Lie Flat But Am Forced to Cultivate Immortality

This familiar grave mound, familiar skeletal wind and sand, and those Ghost King Mausoleum ghost soldiers patrolling back and forth.

Isn't this his old neighbor's home!

A few days ago, he set off a little firecracker at his neighbor's doorstep; how could he forget?

Seeing the situation, Xu Qing chuckled and reattached the talisman for lightness, leaping onto the deck.

"The Taoist seems to have leisure and elegance, still in the mood to enjoy the mountains and waters."

Li Heyi looked at Xu Qing walking leisurely towards him and couldn't help but sigh.

"I originally thought Master Liao could injure you, but I didn't expect your skills to be so profound, repelling a grandmaster so easily."

"Repel?" Xu Qing smiled, not responding.

This Taoist didn't believe he could defeat a grandmaster, but thinking it over, Xu Qing found relief.

Between grandmasters, if not naturally restrained or gravely injured, as long as one does not intend to fight to the death, they won't perish.

At least, escape is still possible. Besides this, to take a grandmaster's life, apart from the celestial people, only those who have survived the thunder disaster and have over five hundred years of cultivation can manage.

"My friend, I have self-awareness, knowing I'm not your match, but if you want to take my life, it won't be easy either."

"Speaking of which, I am quite curious about your master's legacy and teachings; if possible, I would imprison you in a dungeon to inquire day and night, alas..."

"I'm destined not to have the skill to capture you alive."

Xu Qing raised his eyebrow, pondering the implication, not capturing alive—could he instead be beaten to death?

This is quite peculiar.

"Old people shouldn't be too spirited; does the Taoist think setting up a small array can suppress a grandmaster's ability?"

Always expressionless, seemingly grim, Li Heyi unexpectedly smiled.

"Why bother trying to trick my words? Even if I admitted I could subdue a grandmaster, would you believe it? If you were truly cautious, you should have fled immediately; no one knows your identity, and no one will laugh at you."

"What do you think?"

Xu Qing looked at the spot where Li Heyi stood; those flags and array devices seemed a bit mysterious. With the slightest movement, these arrays might be passively triggered.

Xu Qing didn't know much about orthodox arrays, but once one method is understood, others become apparent; though he didn't understand the Celestial Master's arrays, he learned the ways of talismans and feng shui, which somewhat interconnected.

The array in front didn't seem murderous; it looked more like an auxiliary formation of labyrinth, displacement, and defense.

Xu Qing circled the array, finally standing at an ingenious position, reaching to take down the lean banner from his waist.

Li Heyi's expression changed upon noticing this, and when the green flag landed at his feet, Xu Qing's figure was close behind, appearing at the array's center.

"You truly are remarkable!"

Facing Xu Qing at close range, Li Heyi was surprised but remained calm.

Xu Qing shook his head, reaching out to dispel the illusion before him.

At his feet was an enchanting fragrance and a Taoist robe quietly laid on the ground.

"Compared to Master Liao, the Taoist intrigues me more."

Zombies differ from the living, what works for the living has little effect on zombies, except for incense candles.

This enchanting fragrance genuinely piqued Xu Qing's interest.

No response from the deck now; Xu Qing knew where Li Heyi was, and without hesitation, he jumped directly into the nearest whirlpool.

Through hundred fathoms of deep water, eternally devoid of daylight, the river sand was where the yin veins converged. As Xu Qing passed through the quicksand again, what appeared before him wasn't muddy river waters but the skeletal wind and sand of the Ancient Yin River Dao.

Though he delved towards the riverbed's bottom, when Xu Qing emerged, it was head up, feet down, breaking through on the desolate riverbed of the Ancient Yin River Dao.

This peculiar feeling seemed like being in different spatial planes, an experience Xu Qing didn't have when teleporting with the Twin Coffin.

Over here, as Xu Qing appeared, he saw in the distance a Taoist holding an official seal, shouting:

"Dayong official seal token is here; Eight Banner Marshal, quickly appear and assist me in capturing the bandits!"

Xu Qing glanced sideways, seeing smoke billowing in the distance, troops clamoring, as if an army were charging!

So, this was how the Taoist used the official seal.

Xu Qing made a decisive move, taking down the green flag, shooting it straight towards Li Heyi!

Li Heyi, unhurried, released a talisman, seeming to step on green clouds, elevating and moving. By the time Xu Qing arrived, he had already maneuvered two miles away.

"This is the Cloud Climbing Talisman; I acquired only two in my lifetime. You won't fly, even with tricks, it's impossible to catch me."

"Do you know a saying—villains die because of too much talk!"

Li Heyi furrowed his brow, just about to speak further when he saw Xu Qing pull out three more lean banners from under his robe.

Lean banners, symbolic of "thousands of armies," inserted behind a general on stage.

Xu Qing's banners serve similarly, capable of forming four illusory clones. These clones lack substance, but the bearer can shuttle freely between them.

In other words, Xu Qing could use these four-sided lean banners to step on each other and fly on the spot!

Over here, while Li Heyi was still shocked, Xu Qing threw the green lean banner. As his figure appeared beside it, the second red flag arrived beside Li Heyi.

How could cloud climbing compare to Xu Qing's banners in speed? Before the golden and black banners flew out, Xu Qing had already grabbed Li Heyi like a chick.

Xu Qing grinned, snatching the official seal from Li Heyi's hand.

At that moment, the distant dust finally reached the two.

Watching the military formation and the leading general ahead.

Xu Qing raised the official seal, speaking: "I am a Dayong individual, holding merit; now the official seal is here, the bandits are already subdued, you may return to your positions and don't linger here further!"

Li Heyi, dumbstruck, wondered how someone could be so shameless?
