Quick Transmigration: Underdog Turns out to be Untouchable

”Did a living person arrive? What’s going on?” Qi Shuangshuang rubbed her forehead, somewhat doubting if she had heard wrong, for even a living person dared to enter the Yin Yang Inn!

Feng Lin’s face was filled with curious gossip, as Bai Yao calmly munched on fruits in his hand and excitedly said, ”Shopkeeper, I definitely didn’t see wrong; he’s a living person.

He even said he specifically came to see you, Shopkeeper. This living person is really bold, simply not knowing the danger. Shopkeeper, you have to meet him.”

Feng Lin was entirely stirred up, eager to watch the spectacle as if it couldn’t be grand enough, and Qi Shuangshuang’s interest was indeed piqued.

The Yin Yang Inn is a place for those returning from the Yellow Springs; a living person can’t reach it unless they are marked by the Underworld, about to enter the Yellow Springs, and thus able to arrive at the Yin Yang Inn while still alive.

So many people die every day; not every dying person gets marked by the Underworld. The only living people marked by the Underworld are those who disrupt the world of Yin Yang.

Those capable of disrupting the Yin Yang world are without exception powerful Great Cultivators. When such people are marked by the Underworld, it means they are major criminals pursued by the Underworld!

These people can indeed enter the Yin Yang Inn, but no fool marked by the Underworld would actually come to the Yin Yang Inn to die, but today, Qi Shuangshuang indeed had the fortune to see such a fool!

It was indeed peculiar. Qi Shuangshuang, driven by her curiosity, followed Feng Lin to the main hall and saw this guest who dared to come to the Yin Yang Inn seeking death.

The guest wore a wide-sleeve Taoist robe, holding a horsetail whisk, with a Lotus Crown on his head, aged but with a youthful appearance, exuding an ethereal aura, clearly a skilled cultivator.

At first glance at his white hair, Qi Shuangshuang thought he was well-maintained, appearing youthful despite fully white hair, but upon closer sensing, she realized he was genuinely just a young man.

Despite his youth, this Taoist had formidable cultivation. His aura surged with a hint of tidal waves, a sensation that only Great Cultivators possess, yet it was puzzling why he had white hair at such a young age.

This person wasn’t prematurely gray, as premature graying wouldn’t be so completely white without a trace of black hair, nor could it be congenital albinism, for in that case, his eyebrows and eyelashes would also be white, yet the young Taoist’s eyebrows and eyelashes were evidently black.

Of course, Qi Shuangshuang was just a bit curious but had no intention to ask further. Her curiosity wasn’t so deep, and being marked by the Underworld, a criminal without special reasons is usually evil.

Without committing evil deeds, one wouldn’t be marked by the Underworld, and though this young Taoist felt quite agreeable to Qi Shuangshuang, not like a bad person, but bad people don’t have labels on their brains, and feelings alone can’t determine anything.

The young Taoist simply sat casually in the chair, languidly sipping tea, showing no signs of tension or panic, even though coming to the Yin Yang Inn was akin to walking into a trap.

Upon seeing Qi Shuangshuang, the young Taoist stood up, giving a Taoist salute to her, speaking lightly and calmly: ”Humble Taoist Yun Qing greets Shopkeeper Qi!”

Qi Shuangshuang slightly raised an eyebrow, lightly fanning with her round fan, half-smiling as she said, ”You know me, so you must also know what happens to people like you who enter the Yin Yang Inn.

Yet you dare to come, are you confident in your skills, believing you can freely enter and exit this Yin Yang Inn, or are you underestimating me as the shopkeeper?”

Yun Qing showed no emotional fluctuations in response to Qi Shuangshuang’s unfriendly questioning, instead continuing: ”Humble Taoist came here to ask Shopkeeper Qi for help, and if Shopkeeper Qi is willing to assist, Humble Taoist would surrender willingly.”

Qi Shuangshuang chuckled lightly: ”You truly don’t understand your situation. You’re standing right before me now; better think about whether you can leave the Yin Yang Inn unscathed before negotiating conditions.”

As Qi Shuangshuang’s words fell, all the petals of the Manjushaka flower ocean outside the Yin Yang Inn instantly ignited with crimson flames; it was Hellfire!

The entire Manjushaka field turned into a sea of fire. Hellfire doesn’t burn material objects or harm the living, specifically targeting sinful souls, including those marked by the Underworld.

Qi Shuangshuang lazily waved the round fan, not considering Yun Qing’s proposal seriously. Although she wasn’t cold-hearted or unfeeling, she wasn’t a pushover who’d agree to any plea without conditions.

Yun Qing wasn’t anxious: ”Shopkeeper Qi, please do not rush to refuse. What I ask is not for myself, but for the salvation of the world. Please, Shopkeeper Qi, patiently listen to my plea.”

Related to world salvation? That’s a grand matter. Qi Shuangshuang tapped the round fan in her palm twice, then sat down on a chair, gesturing to Yun Qing to sit, showing willingness to listen attentively.

Yun Qing realized that Qi Shuangshuang intended to hear his reasoning, unable to help but exhale quietly.

Before coming, Yun Qing had considered that Qi Shuangshuang might not be easy to persuade and might act before he could speak, but he hadn’t expected Qi Shuangshuang to be so easily willing to listen to his reason.

It seemed that the rumors about the shopkeeper of the Yin Yang Inn being not only strong in abilities but also kind-hearted were true, and Yun Qing clasped his hands, feeling a sliver of hope for his purpose in the visit.

Yun Qing was an orphan, adopted by the temple master of Yunxi Temple, thus becoming a Taoist from an early age.

Yunxi Temple is located deep in the mountains, where Taoists never enter the Mortal World. The Daoist Temple is so hidden, no one knows of it, and naturally, it has no visitors offering incense. There are over twenty Taoists in the temple, sustaining their own livelihood.

The Taoists in Yunxi Temple are genuine cultivators, with good mana, but they rarely leave Yunxi Temple. Even if forced to leave the Daoist Temple, someone must watch over Yunxi Temple.

Because within Yunxi Temple is an Evil Sealing Tower sealing hundreds of violent evil spirits. Yunxi Temple was built to watch over this Evil Sealing Tower, preventing the spirits inside from breaking free and harming the world.

The first temple master of Yunxi Temple was a Great Cultivator who discovered evil spirits wreaking havoc in the Mortal World, painstakingly capturing them one by one, and established the Evil Sealing Tower to suppress the demons.

He later constructed Yunxi Temple at the site of the Evil Sealing Tower for close surveillance, ensuring the evil spirits within wouldn’t break through the tower’s seals.

However, despite being a Great Cultivator, his lifespan wasn’t infinite, so he took on several disciples to continue the watch over the Evil Sealing Tower after his death.

He instructed his disciples to guard the Evil Sealing Tower well, and after the first temple master’s death, his disciples adhered to his command, continually guarding Yunxi Temple and accepting students to pass on the responsibility.

By Yun Qing’s generation, Yunxi Temple had already guarded the Evil Sealing Tower for five hundred years. Yun Qing’s master, Master Zhi Xing, besides adopting Yun Qing, also had a similarly adopted senior disciple, Yun Lin.
