According to Xu Xian's understanding, there were roughly three ways to become a Saint.
The first was to kill the three corpses to vindicate the Dao.
He relied on the Dao after killing the Three Separations to act according to the heavens. He did not form karma and used countless eons to accumulate mana. Finally, he obtained the Great Dao of Chaos and became a Saint of Origin.
The second is to prove the Tao by force.
Forcefully passing the Infinite Calamity with great Dharmic powers required endless time and extremely deep cultivation.
The last option was to become a saint purely by virtue.
Relying on a vast amount of merit to seize the fortune of heaven and earth and protect one's body, one could also pass the immeasurable tribulation.
Xu Xian only had some understanding of these techniques in the Daoist Canon.
As for the specifics, it was hard to tell.
After all, he had just entered the threshold of cultivation. It was far from the time to consider the method of becoming a saint.
But Xu Xian knew one thing.
No matter which method was used to become a saint, the prerequisite was that a certain amount of merit was needed.
He might be able to consider this aspect when he does things in the future and accumulate a large amount of merit in advance.
To pave the way for the future.
Just as he was thinking about it.
Suddenly, an exclamation came from outside the courtyard.
It was the voice of his sister, Xu Jiarong.
Hearing this, Xu Xian's expression changed slightly. He immediately took a step forward and his figure flashed.
In the blink of an eye, he had already appeared in the courtyard.
He saw his sister, Xu Jiarong, hugging Li Gongfu. The latter's face was purple and his breathing was weak. Blood flowed from his mouth and nose, and it was black and smelly.
"Sis, what's going on?"
When Xu Jiarong saw Xu Xian enter, she seemed to have found her backbone and cried repeatedly," Your brother-in-law went out to handle a case and was injured. He came back like this. Hanwen, quickly go and find a doctor…"
Hearing this, Xu Xian took a step forward and circulated his mana in his eyes.
His eyes were like lightning.
There was a small bite mark on Li Gongfu's neck, and black poison was flowing through his blood.
They were like tiny centipedes, shuttling through his body and biting at his veins and organs.
"Brother-in-law has been poisoned by a demon. I'm afraid ordinary doctors can't cure him."”
"Demonic poison?"
Xu Jiarong was just an ordinary woman, so how would she know about demonic poison?
When she heard that even the doctors couldn't cure her, she panicked even more.
"Sister, don't panic. The doctor can't cure this poison, but I can cure it.”
Xu Xian comforted her.
He did not explain much.
She stretched out her hand and tapped Li Gongfu's forehead with her jade-like finger.
He activated his Dharmic powers.
A wisp of diluted Righteousness Qi poured into him and instantly cleared the demonic poison in his body.
The Righteousness Qi was the purest power in the world. It could expel all evil things, including demonic poison.
In just a few breaths, Li Gongfu's face became much redder.
Not only had the poison in his body been completely removed, but the remaining Noble Qi had also tempered his body slightly.
Although it was not enough for him to step onto the path of cultivation.
However, it was not a problem to extend one's lifespan and strengthen one's body.
"Wifey, Hanwen, what happened to me?”
Li Gongfu opened his eyes and looked at the two in confusion.
"I'm awake, I'm awake! Hanwen, what method did you use to be so powerful?”
Xu Jiarong was pleasantly surprised.
Xu Xian only smiled and didn't explain further.
He looked at Li Gongfu, who had woken up, and asked in a deep voice,"Brother-in-law, what happened to you? How did you get poisoned?”
Hearing this, Li Gongfu smiled bitterly and said truthfully,""Recently, children have been missing in the city, causing panic. I led the people from the yamen to pursue the murderer, but we encountered a huge centipede at the Five Mile Post outside the city. That beast was extremely ferocious and had already become a spirit. More than half of the brothers it brought were either dead or injured. I was lucky to come back alive…"
As he said that, he couldn't help but have a bitter expression.
Li Gongfu was now certain that the centipede demon had absorbed the essence of the children in the city to cultivate.
However, they had no way to deal with it.
If this continued, that beast would only become stronger and stronger. At that time, the entire Qiantang County would suffer.
"Centipede demon?"
Xu Xian heard his brother-in-law's words and suddenly understood.
He remembered that there was such a plot in the original novel.
The centipede spirit seemed to be the son of Dharma King Jinba. It was quite powerful, and even Bai Suzhen almost suffered a loss at its hands.
"Ding! Congratulations to the host for triggering the storyline mission, Slay the Demon!”
"The centipede spirit is wreaking havoc in Qiantang County and sucking the essence of children. It is against the heavens. Host, please go and eradicate it and protect the people. Upon completion of the mission, you will receive a divine power as a reward and a small amount of merit.”
The system's mission notification sounded at this moment.
Xu Xian's eyes lit up.
He had originally planned to accumulate some merit while cultivating to prepare for becoming a Saint in the future.
He did not expect merit to come knocking on his door so quickly.
He immediately smiled.
He helped his brother-in-law Li Gongfu up and said indifferently,""Brother-in-law, don't worry. It's just a centipede demon. I can help you get rid of it.”
