The sensational headlines, as soon as they hit the trending topics on major websites, quickly attracted the attention of netizens.
And the scene where Lin Heng slaughtered the Shadow Soldiers undoubtedly left everyone stunned as if he were a Celestial Human!
In the netizens' view, those Shadow Soldiers were terrifying and fierce, each one a powerful Evil Ghost!
Yet in front of Lin Heng, they turned into mere clay chickens and pottery dogs, easily exterminated by him, such a stark contrast was unbelievable to the netizens!
But on second thought.
Daoism has had legends of demon-slaying since ancient times.
Everything seemed to make sense again.
However, what netizens enjoyed discussing the most was the scene in the video, where the young Observatory Master earnestly advised the streamer to believe in science!
It must be said, that plot twist was truly unique, making many netizens develop a liking for the young Observatory Master!
Of course, this absolutely wasn't because of his breathtakingly handsome appearance!
Absolutely not!
...
...
Early the next morning.
Su Xiaoluo went down the mountain.
The Daoist Temple was once again left with only Lin Heng.
He was accustomed to this, even enjoying the leisure.
It's worth mentioning, since last night, the prompt of reputation +1 hadn't stopped!
No need to wonder.
It is definitely the content of Su Xiaoluo's livestream fermenting online.
A day's time quickly passed.
As dusk fell.
Lin Heng opened the lottery panel.
Having accumulated over ten hours, his total reputation had reached over two hundred thousand!
"Start drawing!"
Lin Heng didn't hesitate, he went straight for two consecutive draws.
[Congratulations to host: Obtained Divine Techniques: Near and Far!]
[Congratulations to host: Obtained Divine Techniques: Palm Thunder!]
Near and Far: Speed-type Divine Technique, once mastered, traverse thousands of waters and walk thousands of mountains in a blink of an eye!
Palm Thunder: Supreme Thunder Skill of Maoshan Daoist Holy Land, after achieving Great Success, can control Thunderbolts with a lift of the hand!
"Hmm?"
"A Thunder Skill again?"
Lin Heng was slightly surprised.
He had heard of Maoshan Palm Thunder, it is considered the supreme Thunder Skill of Maoshan, unlike Five Thunders Righteous Method which is meant for widespread attack, Palm Thunder is more towards pinpoint strikes.
In terms of power, it is definitely less than Five Thunders Righteous Method.
But Palm Thunder consumes very little Spiritual Qi, it is much more convenient than Five Thunders Righteous Method!
"Nice."
"This can be considered as having another long-range attack method!"
Lin Heng smiled.
After integrating Palm Thunder, he immediately integrated Near and Far.
This is a speed-enhancing Divine Technique.
For someone who already possesses various attack methods like him, this type of technique suits his current needs perfectly!
"Try it out!"
Lin Heng walked out of the Daoist Temple, with a thought, leaving a shadow behind him, while he himself had already moved a kilometer ahead!
"Nice, really nice!"
Lin Heng revealed a satisfied smile.
With this Divine Technique.
In future encounters with enemies, whether for pursuit or escape, there is now a guarantee!
"Just right, I can go down the mountain to wander around, see if there's any mischievous evil lingering around!"
Speaking of which.
Lin Heng hadn't gone down the mountain for a long time.
The last time he went down the mountain, he had to go back to two months ago, with Master Qingxu to Lingxi Daoist Temple, to commemorate a deceased Daoist!
In today's era, Daoism is in decline, a city having even two Daoist Temples is a very rare occurrence.
In the past, the two Daoist Temples had frequent interactions.
It's just with the passing of old Daoists, the visits among young Daoists became scarce.
"Alas..."
"Maybe after a while, I should visit the Daoist friends over there."
Lin Heng thought to himself.
Unknowingly, he had arrived at the foot of the mountain.
"Goodness, so quick?"
Lin Heng was astonished.
Before, it used to take him an hour to descend the mountain, but now it took less than two minutes!
With this, Lin Heng liked Near and Far even more.
He continued to exhibit this Divine Technique, his steps shifted, and his figure flickered.
Within moments.
He appeared in the city.
But...
"This place seems rather improper?"
Lin Heng looked at the street ahead.
Under the neon lights, one by one, charming figures in hot outfits stood at their doorways, beckoning and pulling at passing men.
"Red Light Street?"
Lin Heng's expression was somewhat peculiar.
Honestly, in his past life, he too had wandered through these places a few times.
Unexpectedly, now as a Daoist cultivating, a casual trip down the mountain led him to such a place...
"Alas."
"Forget it."
"With my current identity, it's inappropriate."
Lin Heng shook his head, ready to turn around and leave.
Yet at this moment, a heavily made-up girl spotted him.
Upon seeing him.
The girl was struck by his celestial appearance!
To a heart long numb to men, that dead heart couldn't help but flutter once more.
No choice.
The other party was too handsome!
His exquisitely carved features, a tall and straight figure, donned in a Daoist Robe floating casually, with hair styled into a transcendental Daoist knot!
Anyone who sees him is bound to be dazzled!
"Handsome, don't leave!"
The girl, full of excitement, directly rushed forward to hold Lin Heng's sleeve, smiling suggestively:
"Now that you're here, come in for some fun."
"I'll waive the fee for you!"
Lin Heng felt slightly awkward, shaking his head, he said: "Sorry, I am a Daoist monk."
The girl giggled: "Oh, whether you're a monk or not, I've seen monks come to have fun here."
"Come on, come on, it's fun, won't charge you!"
She pushed him, attempting to lead Lin Heng into her shop.
And the commotion was quickly noticed by dozens of other girls on the street.
When everyone looked over and saw it was a Daoist, they were all stunned for two seconds.
Doing this job, they've seen all kinds of men.
Including those pot-bellied monks.
But a Daoist, that was truly a first!
Especially a young Daoist who is graceful, exceptionally talented, and strikingly handsome!
In an instant, all eyes sparkled, and they swarmed over.
"Handsome, play with me, I'm eighteen!"
"Daoist, look, I have curves and edges, it's fun!"
"Daoist, Daoist, they're not skilled, I'm thirty, full of experience!"
"Come with me!"
"Oh, don't push!"
Surrounded by the crowd, Lin Heng observed the ravenous behavior of these women, couldn't help but feel a headache.
