Who Taught You To Cultivate Immortality Like This?

Chapter 5: Rat Demon

Just like Sanfu County, Qingshui County is a small county located in a remote corner, not prosperous. The low and solid blue-brick city walls surround the county town.

After dealing with the matters in Sanfu County, Xu You rushed over here directly.

Qingshui County is not big, with only one main street running through it. Xu You walked along the main street, his thoughts immersed in the divine mansion.

His right hand pressed familiarly on the stamen of Azure Lotus, and the complete process began to activate, completely engulfing Shi San's soul staff.

With the vibration of Azure Lotus, a special spell was generated in Xu You's soul.

[The Persistence of the Bottom Turtle]

[Can only be cast on the same gender. The person affected by this spell will willingly and unreservedly contribute their cultivation to enhance yours. The difference in strength between the connected individuals cannot exceed one realm.

The success rate depends on the strength of the target's willpower.

Note: If this spell is used for immoral purposes, there may be improper backlash.]

Xu You's face showed a pensive expression. Does this mean he can choose someone to be his "meat shield"? Can he make others willingly contribute to him during a fight?

Just like when the green crocodile turtle acted as a bottom?

And what does that note mean? Does it mean that in the future, if he's tired, he can bring a "Boiling Yang Yang" over and have them give him a push?

Hmm, it seems a bit outrageous, but if he's the one benefiting from it, it's reasonable.

Xu You now completely believes that Azure Lotus is quite unconventional.

Every time it produces something, it always exceeds his imagination.

Soon, Xu You arrived at the front of the county government office. The first thing he saw was the county magistrate, who was waiting for him.

The county magistrate was a middle-aged man dressed like a Confucian scholar, with a thin and clear face. He exuded the aura of a scholar-official.

Qingshui County is located in a remote area with few commoners. The large county government office appeared old-fashioned and cold, and the clothes of the constables waiting with the county magistrate were patched up.

No matter the era, these grassroots government officials live a poor and hard life.

After a simple greeting, Xu You followed the county magistrate into the government office.

"Immortal Xu has arrived, and my county government office is saved." The county magistrate's face showed some excitement as he saw Xu You's imposing appearance, carrying a long sword on his back, a hammer on his left side, and a whip on his right side.

His sense of security was immediately boosted, and he quickly instructed someone to serve tea.

Xu You naturally had no leisure to drink tea. He asked, "County Magistrate Wang, what's the specific situation?"

County Magistrate Wang adjusted his attire and his face showed some fear. "Two nights ago, the county government office was suddenly enveloped in an unknown black mist, and we couldn't see our hands in front of us.

In the black mist, we only heard the squeaking sound of rats. Later, when the black mist dispersed, one of my wife's maidservants was bitten to death.

Someone saw a rat the size of a person running out of the black mist at that time. It could stand and run, and it could spew black mist from its mouth. Then, it came again last night and killed two constables."

Speaking of this, County Magistrate Wang worriedly said, "Immortal Xu, it seems that this is a rat demon."

"In that case, why is this rat demon targeting the county government office?" Xu You asked.

"I don't know about that," County Magistrate Wang shook his head.

"What about your wife? Is she alright?" Xu You continued to ask.

"My wife is fine. After the rat demon bit the maid to death, it ran away. My wife was frightened, and she hasn't been feeling well these past two days," County Magistrate Wang replied.

Xu You nodded slightly.

For now, let's assume it's a rat demon. The black mist is the demonic mist. Ordinary minor demons can achieve this. The illusion created by the female pig demon at the nunnery last time was formed by this kind of demonic mist.

This rat can only grow to a large size, walk upright, but cannot transform into a human form. Its strength is basically at the Late Stage of the second realm. It can spew this level of demonic mist.

For Xu You, the pressure is not great. The rat has come for two nights in a row, so it will probably come tonight as well. He just needs to wait here.

County Magistrate Wang didn't contact the official organization immediately. Because Qingshui County is a small county town, it doesn't have a branch of the Demon Subjugation Bureau.

If it is reported to the county, there will still be a "meeting" and discussions in the county. The approval from relevant institutions will definitely take time. Those who understand the official process know this.

Once the officials from the Monster Control Bureau arrive, the county government will probably be gone.

And capable cultivators have all gone to the big county city. No one will stay in their hometown. Small places can't retain people.

County Magistrate Wang immediately sought help from Daoist Chang of Qingshui Temple outside the county.

Daoist Chang said he was not capable enough, so he reported it to Kunlun Immortal Sect.

Kunlun Immortal Sect naturally won't ignore such matters and immediately posted it on the mission board on Heaven-Connecting Peak, completing the process as quickly as possible.

After entering the county government, it was still early. Xu You requested a room and immediately went in to work.

When night fell, Xu You stretched and yawned. He had been setting up formations in the room.

He didn't know much about formations, but he set up a simple defensive formation based on the instructions.

Yes, they would have to deal with monsters later, so to prevent casualties among County Magistrate Wang and the others, Xu You used the formation symbols given by the sect to set up a formation specifically for defending against monsters.

It was the kind that even third-stage monsters would have a hard time breaking through, providing absolute safety for County Magistrate Wang and the others.

"Oh? What are you doing here?"

Xu You turned around and saw a crowd of people outside the door. The entire county government was crowded outside, even three little yellow dogs and two small cats were brought over.

"We feel safe when we're by your side, Immortal Xu," County Magistrate Wang bowed and replied, then pointed to a charming woman beside him.

"This is my wife, Jing Lingxiang."

Xu You looked over and was somewhat surprised. County Magistrate Wang's wife was unexpectedly so beautiful and charming, with a hint of allure between her eyebrows.

County Magistrate Wang was almost fifty, yet his wife was still so young and tender. At the moment, she was holding onto County Magistrate Wang's sleeve, showing deep affection.

Xu You nodded slightly in response.

"Alright, come in. It's absolutely safe here. The door can only be opened from the inside. Remember, that monster may know illusion techniques. Later, close all the doors and windows, and don't open the door no matter who knocks or what noise there is."

Xu You walked outside and earnestly instructed. Just as he finished speaking, black mist suddenly filled the courtyard. Xu You immediately said, "They're here, all of you..."

As he turned his head, the previously crowded crowd of people had all rushed into the house in an instant, and the door slammed shut.

County Magistrate Wang's voice floated out from inside.

"Immortal Xu, do your best!"

"Immortal Xu, do your best!" Others also voiced their support.

Xu You didn't expect these people to be so fast, each with their own unique abilities.

However, as a prospective graduate student from the country's top university who had received a good education, saving people from danger like this still gave him a sense of accomplishment.

Xu You turned his head to look outside the courtyard. The black mist gradually spread over, and the Monster Qi in the mist was dense, enough to obscure the vision of mortals but not his own.

Soon, a dark figure walked in. It was tall, walking upright, with muscular body and eight-pack abs exposed.

A large rat head was perched on its square shoulders, with distinct angles, exuding a heroic and domineering aura.

Is this a rat?

A kangaroo rat, perhaps!

A human body with a rat head!

This kind of muscular physique and body shape would definitely be explosive in the rat world.

But the body shape wasn't the focus, cultivation was.

At a glance, Xu You could see that this strong rat had already reached the mid-stage of the third stage! Its cultivation was the same as his own, and it had already transformed!

Oh no, the intelligence was wrong!
