This Taoist Master is too Frivolous

Chapter 298: Chapter 210: I really want to see if my husband is as amazing as they say!

Within Wanshou Palace.

Under the ancient cypress tree.

Xu Yang, dressed in a Daoist robe, sat beside the stone table under the tree, holding a talisman brush in his hand, carefully drawing an “Invisibility Talisman.”

“Master Xu, the person has arrived.”

Li Yuanchang led a fat man to Xu Yang’s presence.

Xu Yang lifted his eyelids slightly and glanced at the fat man.

The fat man was around 40 years old, and his facial features somewhat resembled Ma Long’s. He was dark and plump, and when he saw Xu Yang, he immediately bowed and lowered his head, not daring to look at Xu Yang again.

He was an ordinary person.

There was no cultivation on his body, and Xu Yang could see through it.

Xu Yang asked, “Are you a disciple of Lu Shan Sect?”

The fat man did not dare to look directly at Xu Yang. He was over forty years old, and his voice trembled as he spoke, “I am an elder of Lu Shan Sect.”

“Eh?”

Xu Yang was astonished.

How could an ordinary person be an elder of Lu Shan Sect?

The fat man explained, “My mother worships the deity Bi Xia, and over the years I have donated a lot of money to Lu Shan Sect. So, they bestowed upon me the title of an outer deacon, and I usually manage some of the sect’s businesses.”

This situation was quite normal among various Daoist sects and clans.

Being proficient in martial arts and Daoist skills did not necessarily mean one could do business.

And for cultivation, law, wealth, companionship, and territory were all important. These Daoist sects and clans had a long history and had many industries and accumulations. They usually had someone to help them manage their assets.

Xu Yang put down the talisman brush and sneered, “Why didn’t Qingyang himself come?”

The fat man’s forehead broke into a sweat, but he did not answer.

In his heart…

He was cursing Qingyang’s ancestors for generations!

He himself was also a businessman, holding many properties in Min Province. Last night, he was hosting his partners at a restaurant, and suddenly, he received a call from Qingyang, asking him to come to Xishan Wanshou Palace today to pick up some people.

As a “deacon” of Lu Shan Sect, he was aware of the fact that Lu Shan Sect was holding a “Grand Ceremony of Returning, Conferring and Praying” at Xishan Wanshou Palace today. He thought the “picking up people” mentioned by Qingyang was for real!

But on the way today, he saw the trending news and learned about what had happened at Xishan Wanshou Palace yesterday…

The fat man was dumbfounded!

When he secretly contacted a familiar disciple of Lu Shan Sect and learned the details of yesterday’s incident, he was so frightened that he almost returned on the spot!

But if he failed to get the job done, he was afraid that Qingyang would give him a hard time, and he would have no way to survive in Min Province afterwards. So, he had no choice but to grit his teeth and come to Xishan Wanshou Palace.

At this moment…

He was extremely nervous, afraid that this “Master Xu” would slap him to death.

Xu Yang took a glance at the fat man and sighed in his heart…

Qingyang was indeed cunning.

He didn’t even show up himself!

Otherwise, there would have been one less member of the Lu Shan Sect today.

However, it didn’t matter if he didn’t come. Xu Yang planned to visit Lu Shan Sect sooner or later. So, he asked again, “Did Qingyang tell you the conditions I mentioned?”

The fat man nodded.

Xu Yang glanced at Li Yuanchang. Li Yuanchang understood and quickly brought a group of Lu Shan Sect disciples over.

These disciples of Lu Shan Sect were all in the Qi Refining Realm.

Among them, there were many like Li Yuanchang in the ninth level of Qi Refining Realm, and even some with faint traces of Daoist charm on their bodies… However, none of them resisted.

They knew in their hearts that if they did not resist, they stood a chance at survival.

If they resisted, they would definitely die!

“Master Xu… Master Xu!”

The fat man carefully counted the number of people and cautiously asked, “What about the bodies of Master Xuancheng and the others?”

“One hand pays, and the other hand delivers!”

Xu Yang said, “Li Yuanchang, go contact the bank, open a public account for our Wanshou Palace, and let him transfer the money in as the development fund for our Jingming Sect in the future.”

Five billion dollars was not much to Xu Yang.

Or rather…

Money was of little use to Xu Yang now.

Some trivial matters would be taken care of by disciples like Li Yuanchang, and Xu Yang couldn’t be bothered to inquire further. He immediately went outside the Dao Palace and began examining the “Octagonal Well” once more.

After Lu Shan Sect took over Wanshou Palace, they opened up some scenic spots within the palace to the public.

This “Octagonal Well” was one of them.

Now, the area around the “Octagonal Well” was enclosed by thick iron chains, and beside the “fence,” there was a stone tablet with the story of “Heavenly Master Xu suppressing the Evil Dragon and calming the water disaster” inscribed on it. This was the origin of the “Octagonal Well.”

The wellhead of the “Octagonal Well” was also locked with iron chains.

However, these chains were different from the surrounding fence. They were covered in rust and had clearly endured the passage of time.

Xu Yang secretly activated his “Heavenly Eye Skill” and found that the seemingly random chains sealing the wellhead actually contained an inexplicable force that connected them to the Earth’s veins. They were integrated with the entire land, the whole Xiaoyao Mountain, and even the entire Wanshou Palace!

“Good heavens!”

Xu Yang was secretly shocked and thought, “It looks like there really is something suppressed in this Octagonal Well… An Evil Dragon… An Evil Dragon?”

If the legend of “Heavenly Master Xu suppressing the Evil Dragon and calming the water disaster” is true, then why didn’t Heavenly Master Xu simply kill the Evil Dragon instead of creating this Octagonal Well to suppress it?

Xu Yang leaned over the wellhead, trying to look into it.

However, the wellhead was tightly sealed, and he couldn’t see anything at all.

“That’s right!”

“If the eyes can’t see it… What about the primordial spirit?”

Just as the saying goes, “great art inspires great courage,” Xu Yang acted without hesitation. He called a disciple and asked, “Do we have any sun umbrellas or something in Wanshou Palace?”

“Yes!”
