This Taoist Master is too Frivolous

Chapter 296: 209: The Five Thunder Talisman is made, he needs 500 million to make it whole!



Chapter 296: Chapter 209: The Five Thunder Talisman is made, he needs 500 million to make it whole!

“Uncle master is the highest ranking and most powerful figure in our Jingming Sect now, so he naturally deserves the position of sect leader.”

Li Yuanchang said, “In the great calamity 20 years ago, our Jingming Sect nearly disintegrated. It was you, Uncle Master, who stood up and turned the tide. Without you… the ancestral homeland of the Jingming Sect would still be in the hands of Lu Shan Sect. Moreover, Uncle Master is also the successor of Supreme Sage Qingxu!”

“Since Supreme Sage Qingxu was the former sect leader, it makes sense for Uncle Master to take over the position.”

Xu Yang: “……”

After thinking for a moment, he nodded in agreement.

The Jingming Sect disciples knelt down again and shouted, “Salutations to Supreme Sage, the Sect Leader.”

Xu Yang shook his head and said, “You guys should keep calling me Uncle Master. I’m just at the Entering Dao Realm, not a Supreme Sage!”

In the Daoist world, the title of Supreme Sage not only represented an honorific, but also symbolized one’s cultivation realm.

“Once Uncle Master takes over the position, we should reclaim our Jingming Sect’s ancestral homeland, make an announcement to the martial world, and invite experts from various factions to witness the ceremony,” Li Yuanchang suggested.

“There’s no need for a public announcement. I think the news of what happened today will spread quickly throughout the martial world and even the entire Da Xia,” Xu Yang said with a smile. “As for inviting experts from various factions to witness the ceremony, there’s no need for that, either. I dislike troublesome matters.”

He paused, then continued, “Besides, my home is in Wu City, and my business is there too. I have also promised to take up the position of Dean of the Wu City Martial Arts Academy, so I cannot stay in Wanshou Palace for too long… Li Yuanchang, you can temporarily take the position of acting sect leader and help me keep an eye on Xishan Wanshou Palace.”

Xu Yang said this as he waved his hand, and a statue a few inches tall appeared in his palm.

“This is Lu Shan Sect’s guardian deity, the Golden Armor, which possesses the strength of the early Martial Arts Heavenly Being Realm. I’ve refined the Golden Armor and will place it in Wanshou Palace to deter malevolent elements,” Xu Yang explained as Li Yuanchang respectfully accepted the statue.

“Over forty years have passed since the spiritual aura began to recover, and the great Daoist Sects and noble families have rapidly developed during this time. Now that our Jingming Sect is being reestablished, we should open our doors wide to recruit disciples and restore our past glory,” Xu Yang thought for a moment and said, “If we follow the normal development path, our Jingming Sect will probably not be able to catch up with other Daoist Sects even in several decades or a hundred years, so we must find another way!”

Li Yuanchang and other disciples eagerly said, “Please enlighten us, Uncle Master.”

“Cooperate with the Spirits Management Bureau!” Xu Yang replied. “From now on, any Jingming Sect disciple can go to the Spirits Management Bureau to gain experience… I will discuss this matter with Mr. Chi, the bureau chief, and you guys can follow up on the matter.”

What is the scarcest resource in today’s society?

Talent!

Especially in the world of martial arts and cultivation, the emphasis is on “innate talent.”

To develop, the Jingming Sect needs to accept disciples… The Spirits Management Bureau, on the other hand, has many martial artists but few Daoists, who mostly rely on their brute force to catch ghosts.

While the Spirits Management Bureau has indeed considered seeking in-depth cooperation with other Daoist Sects, these martial world factions are somewhat resistant to “official forces” and do not wish to become their “hounds.”

However, in Xu Yang’s view…

What’s wrong with being a hound?

The Spirits Management Bureau genuinely and diligently protects the country, safeguards the people, and if the Jingming Sect cooperates with them, not only do they contribute to national security and protect the people, they can also enjoy special privileges and benefits. Why not?

It was now late into the night, and Xu Yang summoned Li Yuanchang to fetch Chi Wenji for him.

Chi Wenji’s eyes were full of admiration as he shook Xu Yang’s hand, asking, “Master Xu, how on earth did you do it? You’ve reached the Entering Dao Realm and mastered the Daoist flying sword, something unheard of!”

“I managed to cultivate it by chance,” Xu Yang casually replied.

Of course, Chi Wenji didn’t take any offense, remembering that it was someone else’s secret. He immediately brought up the proper business and, after learning Xu Yang’s intentions, couldn’t help but brighten up, saying, “This is a great idea… If Master Xu is willing to cooperate with our Supernatural Affairs Bureau, we can even help the Jingming Sect select a batch of disciples with the talent for cultivation!”

The two men chatted long into the night, and it wasn’t until the early hours of the morning that Chi Wenji finally excused himself.

Xu Yang called Li Yuanchang over, and together they escorted Chi Wenji out of the Dao Palace.

There were many rooms in the Dao Palace, so Xu Yang decided to stay there for the night.

As for Yun Mengxi, Yue Niang, and Xiao Miao, they went down the mountain after dark to go shopping and sightseeing in Xishan Town.

With nothing to do, Xu Yang took out his phone and checked the news.

As expected, the battle that took place today had already made it to the trending list.

Although the news media and onlookers had been evacuated to the foot of the mountain at the time, the footage of Xiaoyao Mountain, where the Wanshou Palace was located, was not very high. Some of the cameras at the foot of the mountain were able to capture blurry images of the battle scene.

The stunning video footage of Li Shixuan summoning the Golden Armor deity and Wei Daochang summoning deities made a big impact.

A blogger, claiming to be a “martial arts insider,” exposed the conflict between the Jingming Sect and the Lu Shan Sect online.

Countless Internet users discussed the matter, many of them believers in Daoism. Some supported Xu Yang, while others supported the Lu Shan Sect, believing that Xu Yang was a murderous fiend, having killed dozens of people in a day, making him more of a devil than a Daoist.

Upon seeing this comment, Xu Yang couldn’t help but shake his head.

But there were no major upheavals in his heart.

In fact, it wouldn’t have mattered if there were, as there was no way to silence the invincible keyboard warriors on the Internet or hunt them down by following the data lines.
