Chapter 270: Chapter 197: Easily Pinching Master Cui’s Mansion!
Xishan Wanshou Palace, located in Nanchang, Gan Province, is also known as Yulong Wanshou Palace and Miaoji Wanshou Palace. It is a renowned Daoist sanctuary, both at home and abroad, and is considered the 12th of the 36 celestial realms in the Daoist tradition!
This is the ancestral homeland of the Jingming Sect, with a history of more than 1,700 years. It was built in memory of the founder of the Jingming Sect, “Miraculous Salvation True Lord Miaoji” Heavenly Master Xu.
Initially, Xishan Wanshou Palace was not called by this name.
During the Northern and Southern Dynasties, it was called the “Shrine of Xu Xian”.
This “Xu Xian” refers to Celestial Master Xu.
Because Celestial Master Xu also had the title of “Loyal and Filial Deity” besides the title of “Divine Master Miaoji”.
Later, the name was changed to “Immortal Temple” and remained so until the Song Dynasty when it was renamed Wanshou Palace.
The old master had once been the sect leader of Wanshou Palace, but after losing the struggle for the Daoist heritage, he hid his name in Wu City, and Wanshou Palace… fell into the hands of the Lu Shan Sect!
Xu Yang had consulted with Chen Jingzhou about this.
The current sect leader of Wanshou Palace is Wei Daochang, known as “Supreme Sage Xuancheng”. He is one of the six disciples of Lu Shan Sect and ranks third among them. Although he is not from the Chen, Lin, and Li lineages of the Lu Shan Sect, his strength is extremely powerful, second only to the oldest Qingyang Supreme Sage and the second-oldest Li Shixuan of the six disciples.
Lu Shan Sect may be inviolable, but is Xishan Wanshou Palace also unassailable?
Moreover, this originally belonged to the old master and the Jingming Sect. Now that Xu Yang has the ability, he naturally wants to personally take it back!
Upon hearing that Xu Yang would only visit Xishan Wanshou Palace this time, Liu Shishi and Yue Qiluo no longer tried to dissuade him and instead insisted on going together.
Especially Yun Mengxi, who held a watermelon knife, couldn’t wait to chop Wei Daochang right now.
“Husband, Wei Daochang ranks third among the Lu Shan Sect’s six disciples, so his strength must be quite formidable. We can all be on par with the divine power realm, and if we go together, we can provide support for each other.”
“This trip to Xishan Wanshou Palace, Yun Mengxi and I will go there ourselves.”
Xu Yang rejected the kindness of the women.
As one of the leading Daoist sects in the world, the Lu Shan Sect naturally has its own cards and techniques, especially their “summoning deities” skill, which can invoke spirits from the five directions to fight on their behalf!
For those with a lower cultivation level than theirs, they can even forcibly control them.
If something unexpected happens, and Liu Shishi and Yue Qiluo are controlled, it would be disastrous.
After all, Xu Yang’s purpose this time is to create a major event, not simply to kill Wei Daochang and be done with it.
Liu Shishi, Yue Qiluo and the others naturally understood Xu Yang’s concerns and immediately said, “Husband, be very careful on this trip to Xishan Wanshou Palace… As the saying goes, as long as the green hills remain, there will be firewood to burn. If things become impossible, we can always find another opportunity later.”
Xu Yang nodded, set the date, and said, “Today is August 1st, the fourteenth day of the lunar month. The ghost market will open tomorrow… I will set out on August 3rd.”
“Since that’s the case, I’ll go into seclusion first.”
Yun Mengxi said, “Recently, my strength has improved a lot as a result of our shared spiritual intercourse with my husband. Although I haven’t recovered to the level of a flying zombie, I can still increase my combat power.”
After Yun Mengxi left, Xu Yang talked to Yue Qiluo about opening a “Ghost House” in the ghost market.
Yue Qiluo said with a bitter smile, “Why does my husband insist on opening a Ghost House? Moreover, opening it in the ghost market… I’m afraid the business won’t be very good.”
“Whether it makes money or not doesn’t matter; the main thing is that I like this line of work.”
Xu Yang smiled and said, “I’ve seen many Yin spirits and malevolent beings in the ghost market, living even poorer lives than in the mortal world. I can’t help but feel sympathy… So, I plan to make my ghost house free of charge.
Moreover, tourists who come to the ghost house can participate in a lucky draw for free. I’ll prepare some small prizes to make them happy.”
“Husband is so kind-hearted.”
Yue Qiluo was moved beyond words, cuddling into Xu Yang’s arms, and said, “Among all the Daoists, only you could have such a broad mind to see through the differences between good and evil spirits.”
Embracing Yue Qiluo, Xu Yang said solemnly, “I have always believed that there are good and evil people, as well as good and evil spirits… For example, you and the others are the absolute best, beautiful and kind-hearted spirits. You’re much nobler than those inhuman and cruel people!”
Xu Yang’s words moved all four female ghosts deeply, so he took advantage of the momentum to say, “Come on, let’s go to my room… My bed is big enough for us to play cards together!”
Yang Yin curiously asked, “I thought Husband said he doesn’t like playing cards?”
Yue Yuluo stuck out her tongue, blushing, and said, “Yinyin, is it possible that husband’s mention of playing cards doesn’t mean playing landlord?”
As for how to play cards, everyone knew it, so there was no need for a detailed explanation.
Anyway.
Another sleepless night passed.
Xu Yang got up energetically and said, “This method of spiritual intercourse is truly miraculous. After a night, I not only don’t feel any fatigue, but I’m even more energized… Besides, my flesh has reached the late stage of the Innate Realm, so I don’t know the meaning of the word ‘tired’!”
After going downstairs,
Xu Yang didn’t let Liu Shishi and the others make breakfast, and went out himself to buy steamed dumplings, youtiao, and soy milk.
After finishing breakfast, Yue Qiluo said, “Husband, I have to go to the ghost market first to meet General… There are two other ghost market administrators attending our wedding with Chiyan Ghost King.”
“After their annihilation, their territories and resources were reclaimed by the General… If you want to open a ghost house in the ghost market, you’ll need General’s permission.”
Xu Yang had heard about the General of the Xi Xia Ghost Market many times.
He was a powerful figure who had followed the “master of the ghost market”. According to Yue Qiluo, his strength might have already reached above that of a Ghost King, comparable to the Martial Arts Celestial Phenomenon Realm.
