From a Zhengyi Taoist Child to a Master of All Laws

Chapter 408: The Dragon Prisoner
Liuyi Mud, also known as "Guji Magic Glue", is a material used by Taoists to make furnaces and tripods. Its formula was first seen in "Huangdi Jiuding Magic Pill Classic", but it has been lost for thousands of years. I heard that the government and the Taoist Alliance have recently worked together to create a "small Liuyi Mud", but the effect is still much lower than that of the real Liuyi Mud.

After taking another look, Li Yang shook his head, his tone extremely regretful:
"Unfortunately, the material and casting process are both of the highest quality, but the furnace body has a flaw."

There was a two-centimeter crack on one side of the furnace under the Vermillion Bird head. This furnace would lose some of the spiritual essence of the materials whether it was used for casting tools or refining pills in the future.

Even so, this is a priceless treasure, only slightly inferior to the alchemy furnace in Longhu Mountain on the mainland.

Zhang Daoyuan's expression was a little unnatural.

When the 63rd Heavenly Master Zhang Enbo went to Taiwan, he pushed the alchemy furnace down from an altitude of 10,000 meters on the plane because it was too heavy.

At that time, the spiritual energy had not yet revived, and no one realized the importance of these things. Later, Zhang En regretted his indifference in his later years, so he spent a lot of money to find the whereabouts of the furnace among the people of Baodao.
Although it was finally found, cracks appeared on the furnace and it was no longer perfect.

After thinking for a moment, Zhang Daoyuan could only smile awkwardly: "Some irreversible factors... I am ashamed to tell others."

"Then why did you go to so much trouble to send me the alchemy furnace?"

Zhang Daoyuan had been waiting for this sentence, and his white-haired face suddenly became amiable and harmless. "To be honest, Master Zhenjun, we heard that Baiyun Mountain was very eager for an alchemy furnace. Every time we forge swords or refine elixirs, we have to borrow one from outside at a huge cost, so we searched among the treasures left by our ancestors. Our efforts paid off, and we finally found this item that is useful to Baiyun Mountain and Master Zhenjun Li."

After saying that, Zhang Daoyuan carefully observed Li Yang's expression: "I wonder if you are satisfied, Master?"

Li Yang didn't beat around the bush with Zhang Daoyuan and asked directly: "What do I need to pay?"

"Why do you say that, Master? Since you said it's a gift, then you don't have to pay anything."

Zhang Daoyuan spoke a lot of impassioned speeches in indignation, then changed his tone, looking a little embarrassed: "Of course, if we really reach the point of merging with the mainland Tianshi Dao in the future and want to fight, I hope that Zhenjun will not help either of us, that would be great."

Zhang Daoyuan was not that stupid. He hoped that a pill furnace would change Li Yang's attitude.

In his opinion, there is not a single innate person in the mainland's Tianshi Sect at present. Without the help of an extraordinary guy like Li Yang, they would not be his opponent.

"Is that it?"

"this one!"

"Even if you don't give me the alchemy furnace, I won't interfere in your affairs," Li Yang paused, squinting at Zhang Daoyuan, "Of course, that's on the premise that no one breaks the rules."

"That's nature, that's nature."

Zhang Daoyuan nodded repeatedly in agreement, looking like a kind old man. Li Yang looked at him for a long time but didn't find anything unusual.

Don't hit a smiling person, but Li Yang didn't want to communicate too much with Zhang Daoyuan: "Okay, then you go down, I want to practice."

"Yes."

After Zhang Daoyuan led a group of disciples to retreat several kilometers away, his expression suddenly turned cold.

"We can't rely on the Yangping Zhidu seal anymore. Zhang Miaofa and Wang Xin are time bombs for us now. Jingming!" The thin Taoist priest who had been recuperating for several days responded, "Disciple is here!"

"Your cultivation is completely wasted. I have searched the Heavenly Master's Treasury but have not found a cure. Now there is a task that is most suitable for you."

"I will follow the instructions of the Heavenly Master!"
-
Early in the morning, just as Li Yang finished inhaling and exhaling the morning sun purple qi, a loud rumbling noise was heard outside.

When I went out, I saw that hundreds of Taoist disciples were running around in the temple, shouting and talking excitedly.

"We found Dean Zhang Miaofa. We found the missing Dean Zhang Miaofa!"

"Who would have thought that the person who found President Zhang Miaofan was actually someone from the Baodao Tianshi Dao."

"They didn't say they found him, they just said there was news. Now Zhang Daoyuan of Baodao is gathering all the disciples of Baodao Tianshidao who have cultivation skills to go together to rescue President Zhang Miaofa?"

"What about us?"

"What are you talking about? Why don't you go to the Imperial Book Pavilion? Taoist Master Miaocheng is gathering people from Suzhou Taoist Temple. It seems they are also going to rescue people... Hiss, but I heard that there are also people from Baiyun Taoist Temple trapped with Taoist Master Miaofa. Do you think any of them will help?"

Li Yang frowned, and in a flash he had already arrived at the Jade Emperor Palace.

For some reason, the Jade Emperor Hall changed from a golden color to a green one, and there was still an unpleasant smell of paint in the air.

The situation in the Jade Emperor Hall was exactly as rumored. Zhang Daoyuan was busy gathering and instructing his disciples, and it seemed that they were going to rescue Zhang Miaofa.

"Li Zhenjun, you are here. We just received news this morning that the hydraulic engineers heard the voices of Taoist Master Miaofa and others when they were surveying a mountain called 'Prison Dragon Mountain'. We suspect that Taoist Master Miaofa and the disciples of Baiyun Taoist Academy are trapped in Prison Dragon Mountain."

"All the people who have entered the cultivation threshold of the Tianshi Dao on our side of the treasure island have been assembled. There is one Xiantian, twelve Qiling, and thirty-six Yinqi... I wonder if we can invite the Zhenjun to join the rescue team?"

Zhang Daoyuan's voice is very sincere, and his expression is also very sincere, which makes people unable to find fault with him at all.
Without hesitating for too long, Li Yang nodded happily, smiling harmlessly: "It's my honor."
-
Although Prison Dragon Mountain has a great reputation, the mountain is actually not that big; it is just a small hill at best.

After all, Suzhou Taoist Temple is not composed only of people from the Longhu Mountain on the mainland. There are also Taoist priests from other lineages, so its efficiency is much slower than the one-man rule of the Baodao Tianshi Sect. When Li Yang, Zhang Daoyuan and others searched the entire Prison Dragon Mountain, they still did not see Zhang Miaocheng.

"Master, come and see, there is a cave here. According to the information from the water conservancy experts, they heard the voices of Dean Miaofa and Taoist Wang Xin in this cave!"

This cave is indeed strange, and it would be more appropriate to call it a pit rather than a cave because its entrance is facing upwards.

Some disciples of the Baodao Tianshi Dao cautiously poked their heads out to look into the cave. The diameter of the cave was large enough for two people to fall into. The scene below was pitch black, dim and silent, as if they had not seen the sun for hundreds of years, and the bright moonlight for billions of years. The disciples with low cultivation base felt cold all over and their legs trembled.

Li Yang dismissed everyone, and one person watched from the cave entrance: "Black smoke calls to the sky and makes people feel cold, and the cold air invades the body and shivers... What is this place?"

Zhang Daoyuan frowned and said, "I don't know. It is said that this Prison Dragon Mountain has some allusions. However, since all the villages under Fulong Mountain were abandoned decades ago, no one knows the allusions about Prison Dragon Mountain anymore."
