Fifty-fourth, Exchange

  Fifty-fourth, Exchange

  As soon as Bai Yu came out, he saw two gazes converging on him, and it was exactly Pang Ping and Old Wu. Pang Ping hastened to get up and walk forward with a smile: "How did the conversation between Daozhang Bai and Yunqiao go?"

  Bai Yu smiled and glanced at Xiao Zheng, who was standing beside him, sizing him up. He said with a hint of sarcasm: "This conversation has indeed been very enlightening, I've gained a lot from it, really."

  Pang Ping hastened to offer his congratulations, saying: "This is indeed a joyful and auspicious occasion."

  Xiao Zheng was stunned. What's going on? He actually came out unscathed? Looking at his smiling face, it seemed like he had gained a lot from the experience!

  This is Bai Yu, but he suddenly changed his tone and asked Pang Ping: "Why haven't I seen that old He here?"

  Pang Ping smiled and said, "That old He guy definitely won't be here. This is a place for the people of Yunqiao Bridge, naturally they wouldn't let Old He disturb their quiet cultivation. Just behind this house there's another small house where they live. Let's go take a look."

  Bai Yu nodded in agreement: "Alright, let's go now. I'll take a look at their situation too."

  For this matter that Pang Ping had requested a long time ago, Bai Yu still attaches great importance to it. Although Old He didn't take it to heart, Pang Ping's face must be given.

  The three of them didn't linger any longer and headed towards where Old He and the others were. Only Xiao Zheng, who was still in a daze, and Yunqiao Shangren and Da Niu, who had not come out of the house but were secretly cursing, remained behind.

  Three people came out of the door and arrived at the yard, looking at this simple and isolated single room, they couldn't help but shake their heads secretly, such a small house was really not suitable for two people to live in. Pang Ping walked forward and knocked on the door, shouting towards the inside: "Old He is there? Open the door, I am Old Pang!" After Pang Ping shouted, the door was opened after a while, only to see that the person who opened the door was a middle-aged man with a slightly dark face, he looked at Pang Ping in front of the door and smiled, "Old Pang, Old Wu, how did you come?" However, when he noticed Bai Yu later, his face was full of doubts: "This young man is......?"

  Pang Ping smiled and introduced: "This Keke is no ordinary person, he is the Maoshan master I told you about earlier!"

  Lao He was taken aback, his heart filled with surprise, and looked at Bai Yu with a thick layer of disbelief in his eyes: "Is he the god-like master of Taoist magic you were talking about?"

  Pang Ping seemed to have expected Lao He's surprise, shaking his head with a smile: "You can't judge people by their appearance, don't look at Bai Daozhang's youth, his skills are quite impressive."

  Lao He took another glance at Bai Yu, then pulled him in and whispered in his ear, "I'm telling you, there are many scammers around Lao Pang these days, so don't get cheated by him."

  Pang Ping listened and suddenly fell silent, shaking his head: "Don't you know what kind of person I am? Can I believe these ghosts just by hearsay? I'm not like you, you only started believing because of your daughter. I've seen it with my own eyes, how can I not believe?"

  Bai Yu heard their whispers on the side and couldn't help but shake her head in silence, aren't there many cheaters? Indeed, there are not a few, you've already been cheated.

  "This is Pang Ping and Lao He opened the distance and said: "Where is your daughter now? Let Bai Daolang go and take a look, maybe there's a way."

  Lao He shook his head and smiled, "There's no need for that. Xiao Lin has already drunk the talisman water transformed by the people on Yun Bridge, and she has already suppressed the evil spirits. She is now sleeping soundly, and I'm sure she'll be fine when she wakes up."

  Talismans? Can the talismans drawn by that old man be useful? However, he suddenly had an epiphany and seemed to have a great realization. When Old He's daughter saw the old man, although his talismans might not be very good, but there was something precious on him - the Book of Talismans. She could clearly feel a faint aura of power emanating from it. As long as she saw him take out the book and flip through it, no matter what, he could scare away some small ghosts with weak abilities. This might also be the reason why the old man had been able to get by so smoothly for such a long time.

  But since things have already been settled, he can save himself some trouble. Besides, the time to re-enter the world is approaching, so it's just as well that he makes more preparations.

  Pang Ping nodded and said, "That's good, I'm relieved now." Then he looked at the small house where Old He lived and shook his head with a sigh, "But I don't know if we can find shelter there today."

  Old He chuckled and said: "Don't worry about this, the people in this village are very enthusiastic, it's not hard to find a family to stay with for a night."

  So Old He led the three people back to the village again and found a residence to stay in.

  This house was inhabited by a middle-aged farming couple without children. They were very enthusiastic about Bai Yu and his companions, even killing chickens to entertain them. This made Bai Yu and his companions feel somewhat embarrassed, so they insisted on giving the couple some money as a token of gratitude.

  It just so happened that in the neighboring household, they were actually living with an archaeological team they had met before! Those people were quite noisy, and the two girls were always complaining about not being used to living there. It was also a group of students' first time going out for practical training, so it was natural for them to feel unaccustomed to the mountainous environment.

  After dinner in the evening, the three of them lived together in a small room, but this room was not big and the three people slept on the floor together were very crowded.

  Looking at the small hut, Bai Yu shook his head and said to the two of them: "You guys go sleep first, I'll go outside for a walk."

  The two men did not understand his thoughts and therefore did not stop him, they just nodded and let him go.

  Don't come out alone without really going for a walk outside as he said, but instead head straight to the outskirts of the village. He has been secretly counting down the days, and it will be about a week tomorrow. The day to enter the world is also approaching, and if Bai Yu suddenly disappears at that time, who would not think he's a ghost? So he decided to enter the plot world tonight.

  He came to the outskirts of the village, blowing in the cool mountain breeze. He looked around and found no one, then silently muttered "enter". The next moment, his figure disappeared from its original place, leaving only a wisp of mountain wind blowing across the mountain ridge.

  After experiencing a spiritual daze that was no different from usual, Bai Yu's figure appeared in the grand hall of the system.

  Looking at the seemingly eternal and unchanging system temple, Bai Yu took a deep breath and returned again, but didn't know what kind of world this was. Shaking his head, he stopped thinking too much and came to the center of the temple, shouting towards the system: "System, I want to exchange something!"

  The system's flat voice was still as usual: "Good host, please wait..."

  That familiar virtual screen floated in front of him again, and looking at the many options on it, Bai Yu chose the ordinary artifact exchange list. The virtual screen changed again, and a dizzying array of items instantly filled the entire screen.

  Bai Yu thought that with over 2,000 exchange points, he should be able to exchange for something good, but looking at the prices of the top few items on the screen, he couldn't help but slap his forehead.

  "Slayer of Demons Sword: Made from thousand-year-old peach wood, blessed by the Heavenly Master of Mao Mountain, imbued with unparalleled magical power. Even a thousand-year-old great demon would tremble before it. It is the ultimate tool for capturing ghosts and demons. Exchange conditions: 10,000 exchange points."

  "Soul-Capturing Bell: Legend has it that this is the Zhāo Pài Sect's treasure, with the power to capture souls. Any ghost or demon cannot withstand the bell being rung three times, and after three rings, their soul will scatter and they will never be reborn again. Exchange conditions: 10,000 exchange points."

  "Vanquish Evil and Dust: Legend has it that this treasure was used by Huang Daxian before he became an immortal. It contains the merits of Huang Daxian's demon-slaying exploits back in the day. When soft, it can stretch for several meters in mid-air; when hard, it can transform into a sharp blade in the blink of an eye, cutting through gold and jade as if they were nothing. Exchange conditions: 10,000 exchange points."

  "Muddy dust shoes: …."

  All of these are treasures that require 10,000 exchange points to redeem! With Bai Yu's current exchange points, she can only stare blankly.

  After gazing at these things for a long time, I finally shook my head in dismay and sighed to myself: "A poor man's ambitions are short-lived indeed!"

  "Sighing, he said to the system: 'List a few things that I can currently afford to exchange.'"

  The screen changed again, and another series of things were listed out:

  "Ghost Slasher Sword: Legend has it that this was a magical artifact used by a Taoist in ancient times, made from 500-year-old peach wood and imbued with merits. It is said to be able to vanquish evil spirits with its powerful aura. Exchange conditions require 2300 exchange points."

  "Pure Heart Crown: A sacred artifact blessed by the Quanzhen Sect, wearing this crown allows one to purify their heart and reduce desires, immune to external evil influences. Exchange conditions: requires 2000 exchange points."

  "Magic Mallet: Actually, it's just a mallet made of peach wood for hundreds of years, opened by Quanzhen with special abilities on the surface. One strike and the person struck will immediately become dizzy and unable to recover their senses for a long time. Exchange conditions: 2000 points."

  "Through Heart Nail: A disposable treasure used by those who are not on the right path..." This is the shortest introduction to this treasure.

  Looking at these treasures, I couldn't help but shake my head. These really aren't very useful in the present, and that mallet's function is still so astonishingly dizzying. Who would have thought there was such a thing as a dizziness-inducing club?

  After some more deliberation, I decided to exchange this club for it. Isn't it dizzying? This function can actually be used very well. When encountering a strong opponent, this thing will come in handy.

  So he immediately exchanged the club on his head.

  Only to see that the few words on the top of the head flashed suddenly and instantly turned into a flowing light flying onto Bai Yu's hand. When the golden light dissipated, Bai Yu looked carefully and couldn't help but be speechless. This shape was actually without any special features, it really looked like an ordinary hammer, very ordinary and without any hint of being a magical treasure.

  However, when he thought of the function of that stick, his heart also opened up. His heart couldn't help but secretly suspect that the person who created this treasure back then was not pure-hearted.

  There will be two more updates today
