This Taoist Master is too Frivolous - Chapter 400

Chapter 400: Chapter 278: Dr. Wan, drink less!

Supreme Sage Ziyang froze for a moment.

Dead?

This is impossible!

He quickly said, “Grandmaster, Grandmaster Lingxiao is not dead. I saw it with my own eyes. He suffered a great ordeal for our Lu Shan Sect. I hope Grandmaster Wuwei can take action and save Grandmaster Lingxiao!”

Supreme Sage Ziyang’s tone was sincere!

After he entered the “Cave Heavenly Paradise”, Revered Daoist Lingxiao had personally guided his cultivation. In terms of emotions… among the four grandmasters of the Lu Shan Sect, Supreme Sage Ziyang and Revered Daoist Lingxiao were the closest!

“Hmph!”

On the other end of the video call, Wuwei snorted coldly.

He said coldly, “This matter has already been announced by the disciple of Baixiao Sheng of the martial world. The soul tablet of Revered Daoist Lingxiao within our sect has been shattered. How could this be fake?”

“Ah?”

Supreme Sage Ziyang clenched his fists and said solemnly, “Pushing too far and disregarding martial ethics… Since Xu Yang has proposed the condition, why didn’t he wait for our Lu Shan Sect to give him a response before tearing up the agreement? Does he still abide by the martial world’s morality?”

Wuwei did not speak.

He agreed with Supreme Sage Ziyang’s words!

Xu Yang, this dog, is simply devoid of martial ethics!

Who proposes a condition and then “tears up” the agreement without waiting for the other party’s response?

Although the condition he proposed was indeed unlikely to be agreed upon by the Lu Shan Sect… now he “tore up” the agreement and announced it to the world. His words were leading the narrative, claiming the Lu Shan Sect was ungrateful and heartless by allowing a Divine Master to perish for the sake of a “Grand Supreme Elderly Lord’s Seal”!

Moreover, the post by Fang Wei even said that the Lu Shan Sect and Jingming originated from the same family.

Xu Yang was the disciple of “Supreme Sage Qing Xu”, Xu Zhiyuan, who raised Xu Yang as his child. Xu Zhiyuan, in turn, was a descendant of Heavenly Master Xu… The Supreme Purification and Elderly Lord seals were left behind by Heavenly Master Xu, so returning them to Xu Yang could be considered as returning the items to their rightful owner.

Most crucially, countless people followed the trend in the comments section of that post, resulting in an almost unanimous public opinion!

Wuwei knew…

The Lu Shan Sect had suffered a setback this time!

However, he was powerless to reverse the situation… As Qingyang pointed out, what’s more important, reputation or inheritance?

That day,

Supreme Sage Ziyang returned to Lu Shan Sect.

And on that very day, the Lushan Sect closed its mountain.

The “fairyland on earth” shrouded in mist and floating in the center of the Min River sank into the riverbed of the Min River.

When Xu Yang received the news, it was already night.

He shook his head and couldn’t help but sigh, “It’s a pity… Grandmaster Wuwei is relatively rational. If his head was hot and he came to Wu City to kill me, I could have summoned Lord Cui to kill him again!”

“By then, only two of the four true masters of the Lu Shan Sect would remain. I could directly launch an all-out attack on Lu Shan Sect and destroy them in one fell swoop.”

“My husband, there is no need to worry. With your cultivation speed, when the Lu Shan Sect reappears in the world… it will be the day of their destruction!”

Yang Yin snuggled up to Xu Yang’s left side, her fingers sliding across and drawing circles on Xu Yang’s chest.

Then,

Xu Yang took a shower and began practicing Daoist talisman again.

After two hours and about three to four hundred talismans, Xu Yang took out a sack, packed the talismans, and started to practice the “Summoning Clouds” divine ability.

Faint clouds drifted around Xu Yang.

A fist-sized cloud was condensed out.

“Success!”

Xu Yang was overjoyed, “Finally, I have entered the door of the Summoning Clouds divine ability!”

With a thought, he opened his system attribute panel –

[Name]: Xu Yang

[Age]: 22 years old

[Daoist Arts]: Divine Ascension Scripture

[Daoist skills]: Fire Manipulation Skill (divine power), Water Manipulation Skill (divine power), Wulei Rules (divine power), Paper Cutting Skill (divine power), Earth Escape Skill (divine power), Dream Creation Skill, Land Spirit Skill (divine power).

[Martial Arts]: Land Flight Skill (Grandmaster), Soul Searching, Disguise Art, Eight Forms of Famous Sword Skills (Grandmaster), Great River Sword Manual (third level)

[Divine Powers]: Rain Invocation, Flame Spewing, Mountain Shaking, Turning Stone into Gold, Communicating with the Netherworld, Dark Emperor’s Water Fist, Interrupting Flow, Summoning Clouds.

[Cultivation]: Divine Transcendence Realm early stage.

[Magical artifacts]: Supreme Purification Seal (Daoist artifact), Giant Iron Hammer

[Merit points]: 146,000 points.

[Storage Space]: 100 cubic yards

“Summoning Clouds” divine ability finally appeared in the [Divine Powers] column.

Xu Yang’s “Dark Emperor’s Water Fist” and “Interrupting Flow” divine abilities had already entered the beginner level. He did not spend any merit points to condense divine power talismans to save merit points for upgrading “Summoning Clouds.”

Now that “Summoning Clouds” has succeeded, he can begin to upgrade.

“Ding!”

“Merit points – 10,000 points, Summoning Clouds +1.”

“Ding!”

“Merit points – 10,000 points, Summoning Clouds +1.”

“Ding…”

Soon, only 6,000 points remained of the original 146,000 merit points.

In his mind, an inexplicable comprehension rose up, as if he had practiced this divine ability for decades. Deep within the Zifu Shihai, a Dao light flickered, a new “divine power talisman” rapidly took shape!

Xu Yang only felt that his Zifu Shihai seemed to have expanded slightly, and his magical power had become even more powerful!

His pure Yang primordial spirit had become more solid as well!

In the early stage of the Divine Transcendence Realm, the more divine powers one cultivates, the stronger one’s strength becomes. This is not an empty boast!

“Summoning Clouds… Summoning Clouds!”

“So that’s how it is!”

He beckoned lightly.

A clump of auspicious clouds came out of thin air.

Xu Yang stepped onto the auspicious clouds.

The next moment, the auspicious clouds rose and carried Xu Yang into the sky.

The outside world was already bright, with vehicles and pedestrians rushing on the streets.

Xu Yang stood on the auspicious clouds, soaring in the sky, overlooking the entire Wu City, feeling a surge of high spirits in his heart!

“Now that I have mastered Summoning Clouds and combine it with the Earth Escape Skill, I can travel through the vastness of heaven and earth. Where can’t I go?”

Xu Yang secretly mused and suddenly spotted something.

He saw Bai Wei practicing a set of boxing techniques on the roof of a Wu City Spirits Management Bureau’s building. A faint but real martial spirit emanated from her body. He immediately changed his mind, controlling the auspicious clouds beneath him to descend slowly.

“Xu…”

“Supreme Sage Xu?”

Bai Wei stopped her movements and raised her head, seeing Xu Yang standing on a cloud, she was momentarily stunned.

She was wearing a tight-fitting athletic outfit, and due to her recent martial arts practice, she was breathing heavily. For a moment, it seemed quite majestic.

Xu Yang landed on the rooftop, and the auspicious cloud beneath his feet vanished. He said, “It looks like Miss Bai is only a hair’s breadth away from the Grandmaster Realm in martial arts!”

“Supreme Sage Xu flatters me.”

Bai Wei was quite humble, shaking her head and sighing, “This hair’s breadth has confounded countless heroes of the martial world. Although I’ve already grasped the true meaning of martial arts and have some comprehension of the realm of Unity of Heaven and Man, I still can’t break through that final barrier.”

“Oh?”

Xu Yang gave an “oh” sound, then suddenly stretched out his finger and pointed at Bai Wei from a distance.

His seemingly light and unthreatening gesture belied its true power!

At that moment, Bai Wei felt as if the heavens had collapsed!

Boom!

In all directions, endless forces converged and squeezed together, forming a finger-shaped shadow in the air that was aimed at her forehead!

In that instant, Bai Wei felt a chill run down her spine!

Although she knew in her heart that Xu Yang wouldn’t kill her or hurt her, the feeling of impending doom surging from deep within her pushed her to unleash all her potential in one go!

Bai Wei punched out.

Hum!

Heaven and earth trembled!

With this punch, her spirit, energy, and essence harmonized as one, even invoking the power of heaven and earth.

Bang!

Xu Yang’s finger that casually pointed was shattered.

Bai Wei’s punch missed its target, causing the air to explode with a deafening thunderous sound.

“Congratulations, Miss Bai on entering the Grandmaster Realm.”

Xu Yang said with a smile.

As for Bai Wei, she didn’t have time to speak. Instead, she sat down on the floor, closed her eyes, and began to comprehend that punch just now.

This punch alerted the people of the Supernatural Affairs Bureau.

Feng Zhaoqing was the first to rush to the rooftop, followed by Wang Lin and others!

“Supreme Sage Xu!”

Feng Zhaoqing greeted him with a fist salute, and then glanced at Bai Wei, who was sitting on the ground, his eyes flickering, and asked, “Supreme Sage Xu… what is happening?”

“Bai Wei has been on the verge of the Grandmaster Realm but has been unable to break through. I decided to give her a little push, and to my surprise, it actually worked.”

Xu Yang’s humble words brought joy to Feng Zhaoqing’s heart!

She has really broken through!

With this, they now had two Grandmasters at the Wu City branch of the Supernatural Affairs Bureau!

The other members of the bureau looked on with envy.

When they looked at Xu Yang, their eyes were filled with admiration and fervor.

“Bai Wei has entered the Grandmaster Realm today, which is great news for our bureau. Tonight, I’ll be hosting a dinner in her honor. Everyone is invited!”

Feng Zhaoqing declared, “Alright, everyone, get back to work.”

As everyone else left, Xu Yang took out two burlap sacks from his storage space, saying, “I have drawn quite a few talismans these days. You can take these two sacks, leave some for the bureau, and give the rest to Minister Wang.”

Feng Zhaoqing held onto the two sacks, brimming with excitement.

Xu Yang glanced at Bai Wei, then called forth an auspicious cloud, and once again flew into the sky.

As he overlooked Wu City, he began to head back.

Suddenly, a flash of surprise crossed his eyes, and he exclaimed, “Huh… That’s…”

“Dr. Wan?”

Xu Yang touched down soundlessly, and at the entrance of a shopping mall, he ran into Wan Qian.

The werewolf corpse poison inside Wan Qian had temporarily been suppressed.

Although she had gained tremendous power through this misfortune, Xu Yang noticed that today’s Wan Qian seemed different from usual.

“Dr. Wan!”

Xu Yang pretended it was a chance encounter and greeted her.

“Master Xu?”

Wan Qian, wearing a fiery, revealing summer outfit and with her short hair dyed wine red, had transformed her previous cold and aloof style. She embraced Xu Yang as soon as she saw him, giving off a passionate and fiery vibe.

It seemed that not only did the werewolf corpse poison give her immense strength, but it also caused her personality and temper to undergo a considerable change during the process.”

Xu Yang thought to himself.

“Master Xu.”

“Thank you for what happened last time.”

“How about this… There’s a nice restaurant up ahead, let me treat you to a meal!”

Wan Qian’s enthusiasm didn’t give Xu Yang a chance to refuse. She directly took Xu Yang’s arm and led him to the restaurant.

This was an elegant private dining restaurant.

In fact, in Wu City, most of the eateries on the streets are of this type. Apart from them, there were some noodle shops and hotpot places. Western or Japanese restaurants were rarely seen here.

One reason was due to taste preferences.

The second reason was that there are many people of the Hui ethnic group in Wu City… Opening that kind of restaurant there would likely result in a loss!

Looking at the table full of dishes and a few bottles of alcohol, Xu Yang twitched the corner of his mouth and advised, “Dr. Wan, there are only two of us, you don’t need to order so much… Besides, it’s only noontime, drinking might not be a good idea?”

“It’s fine!”

Wan Qian uncorked the wine, poured Xu Yang a glass, and raised her own, saying, “Master Xu, if it weren’t for you, I would’ve completely turned into a werewolf… I owe you many thanks. So, here’s a toast to you.”

She tilted her head back and drank the entire glass in one gulp.

“…”

Xu Yang: “Dr. Wan, drink less!”

“Don’t worry, Master Xu. Although this is my first time drinking white wine, I can handle it.”

Wan Qian poured herself another drink. Her eyes were hazy and her face flushed with two red clouds, an indication that she was getting a little tipsy!
