Reborn as a snake, creating a magic method in the real world

The surrounding people fell into chaos and panic after experiencing this sudden disaster.

They began to whisper, discussing what had just happened, and were full of curiosity and fear about the mysterious "Shangqing Lingbao".

“What do you think the Shangqing Lingbao is? It has such terrifying power that even a cultivator who just touched it lightly would be punished by heavenly thunder.” A vendor said with lingering fear. His stall was not far from the fortune-telling monk’s stall, and he witnessed the whole process with his own eyes.

"Yes, I think the Taoist fortune teller is not an ordinary person. I have seen his talismans and spells. He usually helps people tell fortunes and solve their problems, and he has never made any mistakes. But today, he just counted with his fingers, and suffered such an end." A customer who often comes to the market echoed, with fear still on his face.

"The four characters 'Shangqing Lingbao' are probably endowed with divine power that can reach the heavens and the earth and influence a person's destiny." An old man who looked quite knowledgeable stroked his beard and said mysteriously, "It seems that the secret of this treasure is not something that ordinary people like us can pry into."

"Did that Taoist know some secret that he shouldn't know? That's why he was struck to death by thunder?" a young monk asked curiously, his eyes flashing with desire for power and fear of the unknown.

"Shh, keep your voice down. Don't say such things casually. The power of this matter is unfathomable. We'd better not speculate on it." A middle-aged monk next to him quickly stopped the young monk from speaking, his eyes revealing awe.

While everyone was talking, Taoist Qingxu stood aside, his brows furrowed, his heart full of confusion and uneasiness.

He knew that the secret of Shangqing Lingbao was by no means simple, but he did not expect such a strange thing to happen.

Taoist Qingxu decided to discuss the matter with Long Ling and Zhenren Zi Yang after he returned.

However, after someone died, the situation became deadlocked and the crowd became excited.

Suddenly, a burly man squeezed out from the crowd, his eyes full of anger and accusation, and directly blocked Taoist Qingxu's way.

"You Taoist priest, don't even think about leaving like this!" The big man's voice was like thunder, and the people around him fell silent. "You just made a fortune here, and the Taoist fortune teller died. It's obvious that you used some evil magic to kill him!" The big man's finger almost poked the nose of Taoist Qingxu, and his voice was full of distrust and anger towards Taoist Qingxu.

The people around began to whisper, and some people began to agree with the big man, believing that Taoist Qingxu should be held responsible for the death of the fortune teller.

Their eyes were full of suspicion and fear, as if Taoist Qingxu was really some evil wizard.

Faced with such groundless accusations, Taoist Qingxu's face remained calm, and his eyes revealed a hint of helplessness and determination.

He knew that any excuse would be feeble at this moment, but he had to state the facts clearly.

"Everyone, please listen to me." Taoist Qingxu's voice was not loud, but it was clearly heard by everyone. His words carried a convincing force. "What happened just now was not my intentional act, and it was certainly not some evil magic.

The reason why the fortune teller met with misfortune was because he touched a secret that should not have been touched."

Taoist Qingxu paused and continued, "The four characters 'Shangqing Lingbao' that I wrote are not ordinary words. They come from ancient records and are related to the secrets of a supreme sect.

The power contained in these four words is beyond the understanding and control of us mortals.

If you don’t believe it, you can find someone else to calculate these four words and see if the same thing happens again.”

The crowd fell silent. They looked at Taoist Qingxu's determined eyes, and the doubts in their hearts began to waver.

They knew that Taoist Qingxu was a great man who was always chivalrous and righteous, and was deeply respected by people.

However, the fortune teller's death was too sudden and too strange, which made them doubt.

At this moment, an old man who looked quite knowledgeable stood up, with a glimmer of wisdom in his eyes.

"I've heard that there are indeed some words in ancient times that contain mysterious powers. They are called 'Heavenly Texts' and ordinary people are not allowed to touch them, otherwise they will be punished by heaven." There was a slight tremor in the old man's voice, and it was obvious that he believed in these legends.

The old man's words caused an uproar among the crowd again, and they began to re-examine Taoist Qingxu's words.

The big man's face became hesitant. Although he was angry, he didn't want to wrongly accuse a good person.

"In that case, let's find someone to calculate these four words. If it's really as the Taoist said, then we won't pursue it any further." The big man's voice was still tough, but it was no longer as aggressive as before.

Taoist Qingxu nodded, he knew this was the only way to prove his innocence.

He took out a piece of white paper from his arms, wrote the four words "Shangqing Lingbao" again, and handed it to the old man.

The old man took the paper, his hands trembled a little, but his eyes were firm.

He knew that this might be his only chance to uncover the truth, so he began to chant some ancient spells, trying to decipher the secrets of these four words.

However, at the moment when the old man chanted the spell, the sky became gloomy again, covered with dark clouds, and an oppressive atmosphere once again enveloped the entire Unfallen City.

Screams of fear broke out among the crowd. They realized that what Taoist Qingxu said might be true. These four words really contained some untouchable power.

The old man's face turned pale. He stopped chanting and put the paper back into Taoist Qingxu's hands. His eyes were full of awe and fear.

"Master, I was wrong. These four words are indeed not something we can arbitrarily calculate."

Taoist Qingxu put away the paper, a hint of worry in his eyes.

However, just as Taoist Qingxu was about to leave, those greedy eyes were fixed on him.

Their eyes were flickering with desire for wealth and power. Obviously, the huge benefits hidden behind the four words "Shangqing Lingbao" had made them excited.

"Master, you can't just leave like this!" A voice sounded, with obvious greed and eagerness. "The ancient sect you just mentioned must have countless treasures and secrets. You have to tell us more so that we can contribute to the future of Unfallen City."

Taoist Qingxu stopped and a cunning look flashed in his eyes.

He knew that these people had been blinded by greed, but he couldn't refuse directly, otherwise it might cause even greater trouble.

So he decided to deal with it in another way.

"Well, since you are so eager to know, I will tell you some secrets about the Shangqing Lingbao." Taoist Qingxu's voice became mysterious and low, and he began to weave a story that was both real and full of fantasy.

"In the distant ocean, there is a huge island shaped like a golden turtle. On the island there is a supreme sect called Tongtian Sect.

The leader is called Shangqing Lingbao Tianzun, and his power is boundless and can reach heaven and earth."

There seemed to be stars twinkling in Taoist Qingxu's eyes, and his words were full of temptation.

"Shangqing Lingbao Tianzun teaches everyone, and accepts hundreds of millions of races as disciples. As long as you are sincere, you can receive his teachings.

He intercepted a ray of life for all living beings, taught them the supreme Dharma, and enabled countless lives to transcend." Taoist Master Qingxu's description became more and more detailed and fascinating.

Everyone was fascinated by what they heard. Their eyes began to shine and their hearts were filled with longing for the mysterious island.

They began to secretly record the description of the island and planned how to find this legendary treasure in the future.

"But you must remember that not just anyone can go to this island." Taoist Qingxu's voice suddenly became serious. "Only those who are truly destined to go there can get the guidance of Shangqing Lingbao Tianzun and find that island. Otherwise, if you go there rashly, you will only encounter unexpected events."

A look of awe appeared on everyone's faces; they knew that Taoist Qingxu's words contained a warning.

But their hearts were already filled with greed. They only nodded superficially to the warning, but in their hearts they had already begun planning how to find the mysterious Jin'ao Island.

Taoist Qingxu looked at the expressions of the crowd and sighed inwardly.

He knew that these people were driven by desire and would find it difficult to listen to his advice.

But there was nothing he could do and he could only hope that they would remember his warning and not go to destruction because of greed.

Finally, Taoist Qingxu left the market under the gaze of everyone.

And those greedy people began to gather together quietly, discussing how to organize an expedition team to find the secret of the legendary Jin'ao Island and Shangqing Lingbao.

Even after Taoist Qingxu left the market, he was still worried about those people who were blinded by greed.

He walked at a leisurely pace through the bustling streets towards the Longyuan Immortal Sect.

However, he did not notice that an old woman was following him like a ghost, her steps were light and made no sound.

When Taoist Qingxu walked to a secluded alley, the old woman suddenly revealed her true form and stood in front of him. She appeared silently, as if she had walked out of thin air, which frightened Taoist Qingxu.

The old woman's face was old, but her eyes revealed an unquestionable majesty.

"You are not the master of Jietian Holy Land, so how do you know the true meaning of my holy land's skills?" The old woman's voice was deep and powerful, and every word hit Taoist Qingxu's heart like a heavy hammer. "Tell the truth if you know what's good for you, or I'll kill you."

Taoist Qingxu was shocked. He felt that he had heard wrongly, but the old woman looked very serious and didn't seem to be faking it. He stared at the old woman carefully with a strange look on his face.

"Shangqing Lingbao is the Supreme God that Shangqing Temple believes in. You told me there is a Jietian Holy Land. Are you kidding me? Is the God coming to travel to the world of Huanyu?"

The old woman's brows were furrowed and a hint of displeasure flashed in her eyes.

"It seems that you really don't know, but your words and actions have already touched upon the taboos of my Jie Tian Holy Land. The four characters Shang Qing Ling Bao are the supreme secret method of my Holy Land. How can a mortal like you casually mention it?"

Taoist Qingxu was startled and realized that this matter was far more complicated than he had imagined.

He took a deep breath, trying to calm himself, and then spoke slowly.

“Senior, I am Taoist Qingxu of the Longyuan Immortal Sect. As for the four words Shangqing Lingbao, I really don’t know how it is related to the Jietian Holy Land you mentioned.

The Shangqing Lingbao Tianzun that my sect believes in is a legend that has been passed down since ancient times. I am afraid it is just a coincidence with the true meaning of the practice you mentioned."

The old woman snorted coldly, obviously not buying Taoist Qingxu's explanation.

"Coincidence? There are not so many coincidences in the world. Since you don't know, I will let you off the hook today, but you must swear not to reveal the four words Shangqing Lingbao to anyone else, otherwise I, Jietian Holy Land, will never let you go."

Although Taoist Qingxu was full of doubts, he also understood that the strength of the old woman in front of him was unfathomable and he was not able to contend with her.

He nodded and said solemnly: "I swear that I will never reveal the four words Shangqing Lingbao to anyone again."

The old woman's expression eased a little. She glanced at Taoist Qingxu and then spoke slowly.
