The Quest for Immortality

Chapter 889 -616 List_2

These string of events, it seems, shouldn’t be reported to the Taoist Court.

If I were to lie, I would have to fabricate a tightly logical big lie; otherwise, I would definitely give myself away.

Even if I could argue self-defense and the Taoist Court let me off, they would surely label me a “dangerous person” and be more wary of me.

And that would make my future actions more difficult.

”But if I don’t hand it over to the Taoist Court, what should I do with this list of names I’ve decoded with so much effort?”

Mo Hua lay on the bed, propping her head on her arms, staring at the ceiling, and blinking as she pondered.

Suddenly, she had a flash of inspiration, and her eyes lit up.

Names, nicknames…

As the saying goes, “A man’s name, a tree’s shadow.”

There’s no wrong nickname, only a wrong name.

Just like Bald Eagle.

I don’t know his real name, but since his nickname is “Bald Eagle,” he’s very likely to be bald, and also to have the Four Symbols Eagle Pattern on his head.

A “Bald” and an “Eagle.”

Not a word off, not a single lie.

Then this list, with so many nicknames, is probably also based on these cultivators’ physical features, cultivation techniques, or the Taoist skills they use, or the methods they are known for in the Cultivation World.

For example, “Poison Raksha” likely excels at using poison;

Fireworker Chief must practice Fire-series cultivation techniques and is skilled in Fire-series Taoist skills;

Gold Arhat, well, Arhat suggests a powerful physical body, and with the word “Gold,” it’s likely he practices Gold-series Taoist skills, quite possibly defensive spells like Golden Bell Shield.

Flower Gentleman must be a slick womanizer, practicing sinister cultivation techniques like replenishing from others…

…

In other words, these cultivators, each and every one of them, must be carriers of “inheritance”!

To be able to make a name for themselves near the Qianxue State boundary, an area crowded with geniuses and filled with powerful sects…

The “inheritances” they possess must also be extraordinary!

Boss Jiang’s list is not only a Sin Cultivator list but can also be considered a…

List of inheritances!

Mo Hua’s thought process suddenly cleared.

One’s vision in life must be broadened.

It’s not enough just to think about shearing wool from the sects.

The wool of Sin Cultivators and Evil Cultivators can also be sheared!

By capturing them and “convincing them with reason,” I can find out the whereabouts of the inheritances, and then I won’t have to spend Merit Points to buy any spells anymore.

Even capturing them can earn me Merit Points!

It’ll be a blood profit, no loss!

As for how to choose which inheritances…

Mo Hua had already figured it out.

Whatever kind of spell or inheritance I want to learn, I’ll just catch Sin Cultivators or Evil Cultivators with the same attributes.

For example, if I want to learn Fire Spells, I’ll look within the list for Sin Cultivators with nicknames implicating “fire,” “flame,” or “blaze.”

If I want to learn Gold-series Spells, I’ll search for villains with “golden,” “vajra,” or “Jinluo” in their names.

If I want to learn Water System Spells, I’ll seek out “water,” “wave,” “river,” “fish,” “jiao” types of scoundrels…

…

”Using the map to find the clues,” will be sure to find the right one.

Whether or not I can find the appropriate spells, of course, there’s an element of luck involved.

But even if there aren’t suitable spells, I can still earn Merit Points.

Mo Hua’s eyes shone brightly.

”Boss Jiang is a good person!”

This list is simply another ‘Merit Roll’!

As for what spells to learn first, whose name to pinpoint from the list of Sin Cultivators, how to find him, how to take on the missions…

These details still need to be properly considered.

Once everything is in place, when everything is ready, I can start “calling the roll

Mo Hua held the Jade Slip, and couldn’t help but reveal a smile on her face.

The late Boss Jiang would never have known that although he is dead, his diary has become a “Death Diary.”

…

Which spells should I learn first?

After contemplating for half a day, Mo Hua felt that she should first learn a more complete Concealment Technique.

It’s useful whether for attack or defense, especially when it comes to escaping.

Currently, my Concealment Technique is too inconvenient.

The Concealment Technique I’ve practiced was meant for those with a single series Water Spirit Root.

Since I possess the Small Five Elements Spiritual Root which includes the Water Spirit Root, mine was a little mixed, resulting in incomplete concealment, occasionally leaving a hand or head exposed.

Combining it with a Concealment Formation made it somewhat better.

But now that I’ve reached Foundation Establishment and become a disciple of one of the Eight Great Gates, Taixu Gate, and will face competition from peers and the troublesome Sin Cultivators and Evil Cultivators, I need to “upgrade” and improve my Concealment Technique.

Mo Hua began to go through the list.

Sin Cultivators skilled in Concealment Techniques are mostly thieves or burglars, and their names might include the character “hidden,” or perhaps words like “skillful hand” or “plucking stars.”

After searching for a while, Mo Hua finally marked her first target:

Hidden elder-second.

There was only a name, no introduction, but Mo Hua instinctively felt that this person must be a Concealment expert!

With the name settled, the next step was to find this Hidden elder-second…

But how to find him?

Mo Hua frowned slightly, start with the Taoist Court?

I’m just a minor disciple of the Taixu Gate; the Taoist Court officials certainly don’t know who I am…

I have a Bronze waist badge from the Taoist Court in my possession.

But this badge is off-record, it’s from a Taoist Court in Tongxian City of the remote Second Grade Li State, it might not be recognized here in Qian State.

Besides, even if I find Hidden elder-second, I will certainly need someone to help me capture him.

Otherwise, as a little cultivator in the initial stages of Foundation Establishment, I might not be able to manage Hidden elder-second, an old fox.

After much thought, Mo Hua decided there was only one way: take on a mission.
