I just became a Purple-robed Celestial Master and a Thousand year old Fox spirit wants to enter my bridal chamber

Chapter 3: Triggering the System Task, Fifty Years of Cultivation Reward!

Zhang Beixuan hadn’t reacted at first. After all, he had always treated ghosts as a form of amusement. Suddenly hearing this, he almost forgot that things were different for him now!

If this had happened yesterday, Zhang Beixuan would have escaped overnight. But today was different. He had just received a hundred years of cultivation and the fully upgraded Golden Light Spell from his newlywed wife, among other things.

Dealing with a ghost should be no problem at all.

Thinking about this, Zhang Beixuan relaxed. Furthermore, he had been supported by these villagers for most of his recent expenses, thanks to the cheap master he now had. It was only right to give something back. He took a quick look at the two of them. There was indeed a faint black aura around their eyebrows.

“Is this Yin Qi? There are really ghosts on Taoist Mountain?”

After taking a closer look, Zhang Beixuan was immediately furious!

Did they not know that the Celestial Master’s residence protected this place? How dare they cause trouble here. This was practically seeking death!

“Ding! Detecting a supernatural environment around the host.”

“Initiate system task: Resolve the ghostly issue faced by Li Xiaojia and her mother.”

“Task completion: Reward – [Fifty years of cultivation] [Martial Arts Technique Upgrade Card*1] (Can assist the host in upgrading martial arts techniques.)”

“Task failure: No punishment!”

Just at that moment, the system’s voice rang out again.

“What the heck? Fifty years of cultivation? A Martial Arts Technique Upgrade Card? These are amazing rewards!”

Zhang Beixuan’s expression lit up upon hearing the rewards. These rewards were simply essential!

He had previously wondered if he would have to rely on selling his body to gain cultivation. He hadn’t expected that he could trigger system tasks like this. Kudos to the conscience of the system!

Moreover, he was getting married that night, and the fox spirit had even sent a dowry. He couldn’t just not prepare a bride price. Perhaps this adventure might lead to some good things!

With this thought in mind, Zhang Beixuan attempted to manipulate the spiritual energy within his body. He simply waved his sleeve, and Li Xiaojia and her mother suddenly felt like their bodies were no longer under their control. They stood up instantly.

The mother and daughter duo widened their eyes, and only now did Li Xiaojia dare to look at Zhang Beixuan. She was completely stunned. Although Zhang Beixuan appeared the same as before, she couldn’t shake the feeling that something was different. There seemed to be a unique aura emanating from him, causing her small face to flush.

Seeing her reaction, Zhang Beixuan smiled faintly and said, “I was just joking with you earlier. You didn’t invite me down the mountain to catch ghosts. Go on.”

After hearing Zhang Beixuan’s words, Li Xiaojia and Zhang Cuihong were overjoyed.

“Thank you, Celestial Master! Thank you, Celestial Master!”

As the three of them descended the mountain on a hill not far from the Celestial Master’s residence, a pure white fox watched everything with an indescribable sense of joy.

My husband has returned to how he was a thousand years ago. Back then, he never refused to deal with ghosts.”

“I hope I’m still fortunate enough to be by his side.”

With these thoughts, the white fox’s eyes dimmed slightly.

“Oh well, being able to marry my husband is already an honour. I wonder when White Sister and the others will arrive.”

Although the journey downhill was much easier than the ascent, it still took nearly half an hour to reach the foot of the mountain. The sky began to darken, and they could see a small village not far ahead. Every household in the village had lit up their lights!

Guided by Li Xiaojia and her mother, Zhang Beixuan entered a courtyard in the northwest corner of the village. In the past, a remote mountain village like this would have been completely silent at this hour. However, at Li Xiaojia’s house, quite a few people gathered, mostly young adults. The villagers had heard about their situation and had come to help. But the expressions on these people’s faces weren’t very good. It was clear that they were quite anxious.

An elderly man in his sixties or seventies stood at the entrance of their courtyard. When he saw Zhang Beixuan and the others, he let out a long sigh of relief and hurried over.

“Celestial Master, you’ve finally come!”

The old man was the village chief and quite familiar with Zhang Beixuan. Zhang Beixuan nodded in acknowledgement but didn’t waste any words.

“Don’t stand around here. I’ll go in and take a look first.”

The old village chief agreed and led Zhang Beixuan into the house. The villagers in the courtyard greeted Zhang Beixuan one by one. Their ancestors had lived at the foot of Longhu Mountain for generations, and they naturally revered the Celestial Master of Longhu Mountain.

Zhang Cuihong’s house wasn’t very large, consisting of only three rooms. Inside the main room, a middle-aged man in his forties lay on the bed, unconscious. This man was Li Xiaojia’s father, Li Shan.

At this moment, Li Shan’s face was as pale as gold paper, and a dark aura surrounded his forehead. If Zhang Beixuan wasn’t present, it was likely that Li Shan would have passed away by midnight.

Zhang Cuihong and Li Xiaojia watched Zhang Beixuan nervously.

“Celestial Master, can you save my dad?” Li Xiaojia asked with anxiety.

Zhang Beixuan nodded slightly, with a faint smile and replied, “Don’t worry, it’s a minor issue.”

Zhang Cuihong and Li Xiaojia’s faces lit up with joy after hearing this. They were about to kneel down and kowtow to Zhang Beixuan, but he stopped them.

“You don’t need to be so formal. I should do this for all the care you’ve given me these past three years.”

Although Zhang Beixuan had been a bit carefree as a Taoist priest for the last three years, he was still grateful to the villagers who had taken care of him. Without their offerings and support, he wouldn’t have been able to sustain himself. His current days might have turned out miserably without the villagers’ support. He couldn’t afford to be carefree, like in the past, smoking and discussing life with his ancestors. Zhang Beixuan sincerely appreciated this kindness, and now that he could help, he wouldn’t hesitate.
