Zombie: After removing the impurities, Uncle Nine begs me to come out of seclusion?

Page 74

This fruit is not cheap these days, and it's not something that ordinary families can afford to eat whenever they want.

"Please forgive me for any shortcomings in our hospitality."

Su Feng sat down and said with a smile.

"Not at all, it's us who have been so presumptuous to disturb you..." Master Huang was very polite, and only sat down after Su Feng was seated.

"May I ask what brings Master Huang from so far away this time?"

Su Feng didn't intend to beat around the bush and went straight to the point.

Master Huang hesitated slightly, but still told him the purpose of his visit today in detail.

"I wonder if Young Master Su has heard about the recent zombie outbreak in Tengteng Town?"

Su Feng raised an eyebrow thoughtfully. "Master Huang, please continue."

"...Some time ago, I passed through Tengteng Town, only to find it filled with an eerie atmosphere. When I went inside, I was shocked to discover that the town had become a zombie town! The surviving townspeople were either hiding or fleeing! The scene was extremely tragic!"

As Master Huang spoke, he became increasingly agitated, “The local warlords have shown no regard for the lives of the townspeople, allowing the situation to deteriorate. I alone cannot suppress so many zombies…”

"Fortunately, Uncle Jiu reminded me that I learned that Young Master Su was exceptionally talented and outstanding in exorcising demons, so I came to ask for his help."

Master Huang spoke earnestly and sincerely, and Su Feng could tell that he was genuinely worried about the zombie outbreak in Tengteng Town.

However, Su Feng did not intend to get involved in this matter.

As the saying goes, distant water cannot quench a nearby fire. This zombie outbreak is none of his business, and he has no desire to run around for such matters.

Seeing that Su Feng remained silent and indifferent, Master Huang frowned slightly and had no choice but to play the emotional card and speak again.

"In this world, the country is on the verge of collapse, chaos has broken out, the people are suffering, corpses are strewn everywhere, and the warlords are doing nothing but fighting and plundering resources. As a result, there are a lot of zombies and vengeful ghosts appearing, and it is difficult to control them!"

"As cultivators, it is our duty to eliminate demons and monsters and uphold the righteous path. Naturally, we cannot sit idly by and watch people die!"

"The matter in Tengteng Town has now reached the ears of people in the surrounding towns, causing widespread panic. If it is not dealt with and resolved in time, it may have far-reaching consequences!"

Despite the eloquent words of Master Huang, Su Feng remained unfazed.

"I understand what Master Huang is saying," Su Feng nodded.

Upon hearing this, Master Huang felt there was hope and exclaimed, "Young Master Su, are you agreeing to lend me a hand?"

"Master Huang, you misunderstand." Su Feng waved his hand and smiled. "I just agree with Master Huang's philosophy. I greatly admire your patriotic and compassionate spirit! However, I'm afraid I can't help with the Tengteng Town matter."

"As Master Huang just said, the world is in chaos and wars are constant. In such turbulent times, it is difficult enough to protect oneself, let alone have the mind to care about others."

Su Feng's explanation left Master Huang speechless, unable to find any rebuttal.

Helpless, he could only turn to Uncle Nine, hoping that Uncle Nine, who had a good relationship with Su Feng, could help persuade him.

However, Uncle Nine's mind was not on that; he was completely drawn to something in the corner of the room.

"Brother Lin, what's wrong with you?" Master Huang asked curiously.

Uncle Nine rubbed his eyes and turned to look at Su Feng. "Young Master Su, am I seeing things or is it really true? Is that a demonic ape in the corner of the room?"

"A demon?!"

Upon hearing this, Master Huang was so frightened that he immediately stood up.

This sudden action startled King Kong, who was quietly squatting in the corner eating a banana. King Kong jumped onto the bed with a squeak and looked over warily.

"It really wasn't an illusion!"

Uncle Nine also realized what was happening and quickly retreated to the door.

As Taoist priests, demons and evil spirits are their natural enemies. How could they pretend nothing had happened when they saw what had just occurred?

"Please don't get agitated, both of you."

Seeing that Uncle Nine and Master Huang were about to perform their magic, Su Feng quickly reassured them, "This is my pet that I raised a few days ago. It's a bit ugly, but its ferocity has been eliminated, so you two don't need to worry."

"Young Master Su, no matter what, this is a demon that has become a spirit! We can't let our guard down!"

Master Huang refused to back down, still staring intently in the direction of the Vajra, his hands tucked into his sleeves, itching to strike.

"Master Huang, do you mean you've sensed demonic energy?"

Su Feng's calm and composed question caught Uncle Nine and Master Huang off guard.

"It seems... there really isn't one." Uncle Nine scratched his head, also feeling confused.

If he were truly a demon, he should have sensed it before even entering the house, and wouldn't have needed to sit here for so long observing before realizing something was amiss.

Su Feng smiled. "If it didn't possess demonic energy, how could it be called a demon?"

As he spoke, Su Feng turned to look at Jin Gang, took a banana from the table and tossed it to him, "Jin Gang, go outside and wait."

King Kong took the banana, looked at Uncle Nine and Master Huang with a strange expression for a while, and then ran out of the thatched hut.

Watching their figures gradually disappear into the banana grove, Uncle Nine and Master Huang gradually lowered their guard.

"Young Master Su really brings me surprises at every turn." Master Huang wiped his sweat and sat down again. "Let's leave that matter aside for now and get back to our previous topic. I hope Young Master Su can reconsider. If we can get Young Master Su's help, it will surely be twice as effective! I will definitely repay this kindness in the future."

One person's persuasion wasn't enough, so Uncle Nine also got involved, appealing to his emotions and reasoning with him, using all sorts of persuasive techniques.

This was the first time Su Feng had ever known that Uncle Nine was such a talkative and garrulous person.

"Alright, alright," Su Feng said, getting annoyed by the two attacking him from both sides, and raised his hand to interrupt, "I understand what you two mean perfectly well..."

If I refuse again, I'm afraid I'll be nagged all day.

"I promise you, I will help with the matter in Tengteng Town... but I have important matters to attend to these few days, so I can only act in seven days."

Adding the day needed for the journey to Tengteng Town, it takes eight days.

"It will take seven days..." Master Huang seemed a little troubled, but since it had been so difficult to get Su Feng's approval, he dared not push his luck any further and nodded in agreement, "Alright! Then I will wait for you outside Tengteng Town in seven days. I hope Young Master Su will keep our appointment on time."

Su Feng nodded perfunctorily, thinking that he could finally skip this topic.

Having achieved his goal, Master Huang had no intention of lingering any longer. After exchanging a few pleasantries, he got up to take his leave.

Before leaving, he repeatedly mentioned the agreement made seven days later, and only after receiving Su Feng's assurance again did he agree to leave.

"This Master Huang really knows how to torment people." (Well said) Su Feng leaned against the door, watching Master Huang's departing figure, and said with a wry smile.

Uncle Nine came over and explained on behalf of his old friend, "Fellow Daoist Huang is simply concerned about the people. Besides, the matter in Tengteng Town has indeed become quite serious."

"So, Uncle Nine will also be going in seven days?"

“Of course.” Uncle Nine nodded. “Seven days is neither a long nor a short time. I happen to have some things to do, but I will go to assist as soon as I finish them.”

As he spoke, Uncle Nine's face showed a hint of embarrassment. He hesitated for a moment before saying, "It's a difficult thing to say, but I didn't want to trouble Young Master Su any further. However, there is something urgent. I wonder if Young Master Su is free tomorrow to help transport something?"

Su Feng frowned slightly, thinking that Uncle Jiu and Master Huang were exactly the same, both liking to hold back their farts until the very end.

But since Uncle Nine has spoken, he can't pretend nothing happened.

"What is being transported?" Su Feng asked.

Uncle Nine licked his dry lips and replied, "It's the spirit infant I've been keeping in the mortuary... I was supposed to transport the spirit infant to my junior sister's Taoist temple tomorrow, but the village chief of Huangshi Village invited me to look at the feng shui. The two things just happened to coincide, and transporting the spirit infant is no small matter. I wasn't too comfortable leaving it to Qiu Shengwen, so I thought I'd trouble Young Master Su."

A spirit child?

Su Feng nodded thoughtfully.

This matter isn't a big deal, but it's not insignificant either; it doesn't require his attention...

Just as he was about to politely decline, Su Feng suddenly remembered something, and his eyes lit up.

"Since Uncle Jiu has spoken, then leave this matter to me."

Chapter 72 The Search Finally Pays Off! With all the materials gathered, it's time to begin refining the elixir!

Although Su Feng hated traveling around and disliked getting involved in any trouble.

But the matter of transporting the spirit infant is extremely beneficial!

The so-called "spirit infants" are the unclaimed souls of those little lives that could not be born into the world, whose resentment accumulated and became their own.

Needless to say, its abundant Yin energy makes it perfect for purification and absorption!

"Then I'll leave this matter to Young Master Su!"

After expressing his gratitude, Uncle Nine said he had to take his leave. "Tomorrow I will have Qiu Sheng and Wen Cai wait for me at the mortuary. I will hand over the follow-up matters to them. I will take my leave now."

After saying that, Uncle Nine left the banana grove.

"call--".

Su Feng finally breathed a sigh of relief.

The Taoist priest and Uncle Nine who visited today are among the best at nagging; they almost exhausted his patience in half an hour.

But oh well, since we can gain some benefits from this, this "deal" wasn't a complete waste of time.

"King Kong, come back and guard the house!"

Su Feng called out to Jin Gang in the forest, changed into his outdoor clothes, and went out.

Since my in-depth study of alchemy has been interrupted, I might as well take this opportunity to go to Renjia Town and complete any missing materials.

……

To be honest, Su Feng didn't have a clear goal in mind when it came to purchasing materials.

Renjia Town is so big, there are countless places to sell medicinal herbs.

But when it comes to the most comprehensive, Su Feng really can't say which one it is.

There was no other way but to find the answer by walking from house to house...

"Hey? Isn't this Young Master Su!"

Just as Su Feng was about to step into the third herbal medicine shop for consultation, he suddenly heard a familiar voice coming from behind him.

Looking back, it turned out to be the Ren family father and daughter!

"Oh my, it really is Young Master Su!"
