Taichu Yandao: Starting from the Villain

The green-clothed old man looked left and right, and said with a stiff face: "This... Could it be that there is something wrong with the spirit stone? This jade plate is usually placed in the treasury. Just now, Lao Yang, Lao Cao, Lao Dong, and Lao Cai went to get it together. The seal is still attached, and no one has touched it."

She called out everyone at once, and the meaning was obvious: everyone had to bear the responsibility together.

Several old men on the armchairs started coughing and said:

"The seal has not been moved. I can testify to that."

"Old Xia is right!"

The village chief glanced at the crowd, took a deep breath and said, "The spiritual stones awarded by the witch saint are running low. If that's the case, then it's easy to deal with. Please come forward and cast a spell together to activate this magic weapon."

Several old men looked embarrassed and hesitated for a while before walking to the table.

Several elders stood in a row, putting their hands on the back of the person in front of them.

As for the green-clad old man at the front, he put his hand on the village chief's back and said, "We are all ready, let's start!"

The village chief nodded, made a hand gesture, and placed his palm on the jade plate.

When the jade plate lit up with white light, the village chief said to Li Wujiu, "Li... little guy, let's do it again!"

Li Wujiu said nothing and put his little hand into the depression of the jade plate again.

A stream of pure spiritual energy, more powerful than before, rushed along the jade plate into Li Wujiu's palm.

In his young mind, Li Wujiu had actually already guessed that the lack of response on the jade plate was caused by himself.

But the taste of the spiritual energy was so wonderful that he didn't even think about it and absorbed all the spiritual energy that flowed into his body again.

After more than ten breaths, the jade plate still showed no reaction, but the magic power of several elders poured into the jade plate like a dam bursting.

"That's not right. Is there something wrong with this magic weapon? Why does it feel like a bottomless pit?" said the old man in green.

"You're only 20% short of mana, why are you saying you can't do it anymore?" The village chief frowned, feeling unhappy. He said, "Hold on a little longer, or all the mana you had before will be wasted."

When the elders heard this, although they felt resentful, they thought that there was some truth in what the village chief said, so they continued to input their magic power continuously.

After another ten breaths, Li Wujiu's face had turned red, as if he had taken too many tonics. He felt full and didn't need to eat for three days.

When a stream of spiritual energy rushed into his body again, he no longer tried to stop it. He let the spiritual energy flow around and then rush back into the jade plate.

In an instant, nine wooden beads rushed into the sky, like a volcano erupting, and flew in all directions.

"Ouch, it hurts!"

"Who attacked me!"

In the ancestral hall, those who were hit were shouting.

The village chief and several elders were shocked. They had never heard of such a situation.

"I told you that the magic weapon was broken, but you didn't believe it. It consumed 50% of my magic power. If a snake plague suddenly attacks, what do you think we should do?" said the old man in green.

The village chief frowned, and his determination began to waver. He shouted to the crowd, "Those who were hit just now, return the beads. There is something wrong with the magic weapon. I will go find the witch saint now."

When everyone heard the words of the witch saint, they immediately took action. In a short while, all nine beads were returned to the jade plate.

"Everyone, please wait a moment. There is one thing that has not been announced yet." The village chief picked up the jade plate and ran behind the screen.

As soon as the village chief left, the atmosphere in the ancestral hall immediately became relaxed, and everyone began to chat about family matters.

Yuntian walked to Yun Haiying and said with a smile: "Mom, my talent is beyond belief. What is it called? Nine Jade Dragon Pearls. There is no one like it before and there will be no one like it after!"

Yun Haiying's expression remained unchanged as he said, "The Jade Dragon Nine Pearls is a very apt description."

Yuntian was stunned and said, "Mom, I was just kidding. How could he have such a good talent? Didn't the village chief say that there was something wrong with the magic weapon and went to find the witch saint?"

Yun Haiying shook her head and asked with a smile, "Then is there a possibility that the magic weapon is not broken, and the village chief and the others guessed wrong?"

Yuntian opened his mouth wide, his face full of disbelief.

At this moment, the village chief came out from behind the screen. She seemed to have just recovered from her shock. She cleared her throat and shouted, "Everyone, be quiet."

In the ancestral hall, the scene gradually became quiet, and everyone looked at the village chief.

"If I say that there is no problem with the test just now, would you believe it?" said the village chief.

"Although it is not the busy farming season and everyone has plenty of time, but the joke you made is a bit too much, Village Chief." The elder in a butterfly yellow shirt laughed.

Immediately afterwards, the entire ancestral hall burst into laughter.

"If the witch saint says that there is no problem with the test just now, you should believe it!" The village chief took out a piece of paper and handed it to the person next to him.

The laughter in the ancestral hall stopped abruptly, and everyone's eyes followed the small note.

After about a cup of tea, the nine elders passed the note around, and when the last elder finished reading it, all the elders nodded to the village chief.

"Li Wujiu, you have reached... the ultimate spiritual root. You will go to school starting tomorrow and learn the cultivation method of the witch saint." The village chief shouted.

In the ancestral hall, many people swallowed their saliva, their faces filled with disbelief.

Gu Jinfeng stood up suddenly and looked at Yun Haiying coldly.

Next to her, a young woman who looked somewhat similar to Gu Jinfeng hurriedly pulled her down and said, "Sister, don't look at me like that. It's not good to scare your future in-laws."

Gu Jinfeng was shocked and turned around to ask, "What did you say? In-laws?"

Gu Yinfeng pursed her lips and smiled, saying: "No matter how talented this child is, he is just a boy. It's just right for him to be with our Yanjun. The only pity is that he is too white and not a handsome boy. Yanjun may not be interested in him when she grows up. But marriage is always decided by parents and matchmakers. As a mother, I have the final say. Good looks can't make a living, right..."

Gu Yinfeng was talking to himself, but Gu Jinfeng was so angry that her lungs burst. She interrupted him and said, "Don't you know that he is the child that Ouyang Jiaren saved back then? The Yun family hates us to the core. As in-laws, don't talk nonsense!"

"Sister, you can't say that. You were just following the rules back then. It was for the sake of the lives of the entire village. Even Yun Haiying couldn't say a word against it. Since we are not in the wrong, there is room for everything to turn around. Just wait and see. Leave this matter to me." Gu Yinfeng said.

"Don't do anything rash. Otherwise, you might not only fail to catch the fox, but also get yourself into trouble." Gu Jinfeng said.

Gu Yinfeng rolled her eyes and said, "My sister, don't you want to be the village chief? If the two most promising children are in our family, how can the position fall to someone else's family?"
