People in Conferred Gods: Rising from humble beginnings, I am the God of Wealth

Chapter 118: Playing the Queen Mother in Yaochi, Qingluan Goes South to Call the Vermillion Bird
"Great Lord, please speak. We will do our utmost to help you, even if it means death!"

Sheng Sanqi and the others all bowed, with fanatical expressions and determined eyes.

Xuan Niu was even more murderous, as if he would kill everyone in sight as long as Yang Xuan gave the order.

Yang Xuan: ...

I hope these people don't make things too big.

Looking at these people, Yang Xuan rubbed his eyebrows and couldn't help feeling a little worried.

After thinking about it again and making sure there was no problem, Yang Xuan knocked on the chair, glanced at Sheng Sanqi and others, and said in a deep voice:

"In the next 50,000 years, you must find the troublemakers among the immortals and gods in heaven and find ways to make them do more trouble."

"It would be best if we could let them form cliques and factions to expand their power!"

"But if this happens, the Heavenly Court may be in chaos. If this continues, it will be detrimental to the development of the Heavenly Court..."

Sheng Sanqi looked puzzled. He had seen the increasing fighting among the immortals and gods in heaven and was worried that it would cause chaos in heaven, so he reported the matter to Yang Xuan.

Unexpectedly, Yang Xuan not only did not stop it, but also wanted to give these troublemakers more power, expand the scale of the fight between immortals and gods, and intensify the chaos in heaven.

"Wait a minute! Could it be that..."

Sheng Sanqi raised his head in a flash, showing a look of disbelief.

"Great Lord, you want to..."

"That's right, I just want to cause chaos in the Heavenly Palace!"

Yang Xuan narrowed his eyes slightly, a cold light flashed in his eyes, and a faint smile appeared on his face.

"Everything that goes to extremes must decline, and everything that goes to extremes must turn around. If you want to make the heavens orderly, you need to make them chaotic!"

"Your Majesty and the Queen are in charge of the Heavenly Court. No matter how these people make trouble, they will not harm the foundation of the Heavenly Court."

"Just go ahead and do it, but remember, try not to affect the development of the Heavenly Court too much, don't let the Siming Temple directly participate in this matter, and don't let the immortals and gods in the Heavenly Court know that you are behind it."

"If necessary, we can ask the military to help with the performance."

"When the time is right, I will step in to calm the chaos and make the Heavenly Court governed by laws!"

"Don't let the gods in heaven know..."

Sheng Sanqi muttered to himself, looking thoughtful.

The Great Celestial Lord wants us to lead this matter behind the scenes and not let other immortals know. With the cooperation of the Heavenly Soldiers and Generals of the Ministry of War, the best way to keep it secret is naturally...

"I know what to do now. I will not let other gods know about this, and I will not let you down, Great Lord!"

Sheng Sanqi nodded heavily, looking excited.

Wrong, we were all wrong!

The Great Heavenly Venerable is truly virtuous when it comes to treating us, and he always thinks of us. He is the Great Heavenly Venerable we respect and love.

But this is only the attitude of the Great Heavenly Venerable towards his own people. When facing the enemy, the Great Heavenly Venerable will not show any mercy at all, and his methods will be more cruel than anyone else!

Sheng Sanqi then remembered that when the Jiuzhou people were robbed, Yang Xuan had no mercy on the alien Daluo in his plan, and he played them around.

Not only did he not have to sacrifice a single soldier, but he also made all of the small tribes and independent cultivators under their command defect, leaving them isolated and helpless.

In the final battle, he asked the White Emperor for help and killed the two Daluo, which completely settled the matter and forced them to flee in disgrace.

Afterwards, Wu Hao and Xuan Niu went to heaven first. More than 50,000 years ago, Shan Jun and his four companions also went to heaven with serious injuries.

Such means can only be described as horrific, leaving no way for the opponent to survive!
In a different position, if Sheng Sanqi stood on the opposite side of Yang Xuan, all he could do was to self-destruct in despair and die with some dignity.

Sheng Sanqi now seriously suspects that the reason why Yang Xuan allowed the culprit Hei Lian to escape repeatedly was part of his plan.

After all, the first time Black Lotus took action, the Heavenly Court recruited millions of independent cultivators, and two Daluo Golden Immortals, Wu Hao and Xuan Niu, ascended to heaven.

Black Lotus made a second move and sent four more Daluo Golden Immortals to Heaven.

So what about Black Lotus’ third attack?
"It's so scary, so scary!!!"

After some recollections, Sheng Sanqi's expression became more and more fanatical. Yang Xuan's methods did indeed make him feel afraid, but he did not feel any disgust. Instead, he admired him even more.

When dealing with an enemy, the more ruthless the better. Could it be that he still wanted to use love to persuade him? What Yang Xuan did was perfectly in line with Sheng Sanqi's values.

"The Great Lord has entrusted this matter to us. Is this a test for us?"

"We have proven our internal capabilities over the years by recruiting prehistoric creatures to heaven and managing the Siming Temple. This time, the Great Celestial Venerable wants to test our external capabilities!"

Sheng Sanqi's breathing became a little rapid, and he subconsciously pinched his moustache, without even noticing that the corners of his mouth were pulled straight.

The other few people didn't think as much as Sheng Sanqi, but they all thought of one thing in common, which was how to keep the Siming Temple behind the scenes and prevent other immortals and gods from noticing the matter.

In the current Heavenly Court, the two most powerful departments are the Temple of Life and the Ministry of War. Now that we have received the order from the Great Celestial Lord, with the cooperation of these two departments, isn’t it easy to keep the secret?
As for how to define a troublemaker, it is even simpler. Any immortal or god who does not obey the orders of the Siming Temple and is disrespectful to the Great Celestial Venerable is a troublemaker!
Of course, the Great Celestial Venerable is broad-minded and busy with many things, so there is no need to ask him specifically for such a small matter.

"This is the test from the Great Celestial Lord. How could we not understand it?"

Sheng Sanqi and the others looked at each other, revealing a confident and somewhat weird smile. Two streams of white air spewed out of Xuan Niu's nostrils, making his expression even more ferocious.

"Okay, you guys go down. Remember, try not to affect the development of the Heavenly Court, don't let the Siming Temple get directly involved, and don't expose yourselves."

"The Siming Temple is recruiting immortals and gods, and we must not neglect the matter of responding to believers."

"Remember, matters related to marriage should be handled by the fox tribe in the Marriage Palace, and matters related to seeking children should be handled by the Guidance Palace."

Yang Xuan was really worried when he saw the appearance of these people, so he gave them another instruction before sending them away.

"I have made it very clear. We must not affect the development of the Heavenly Court, but we must also maintain the priesthood of the Siming Temple and let them stand behind the scenes. There must not be any chaos."

Yang Xuan nodded secretly, firmly believing that nothing would go wrong. Even if it was different from what he expected, it would not be too far off.

"I still feel relieved when I do things in anger."

Yang Xuan smiled slightly, then controlled the golden light to fly out of the Siming Temple and flew towards the Yaochi.

If you look closely, you will find that there is an extra red light in the golden light that Yang Xuan used this time, and the flying speed is several times faster than before.

Although the increase in flying speed is related to Yang Xuan's cultivation level being raised to Taiyi Golden Immortal, his current flying speed is far beyond that of an ordinary Taiyi Golden Immortal.

Even if his cultivation is one level higher than his, and he also uses the Golden Light, his speed will be much slower than his.

The biggest reason for this gap is because of that red light.

After refining the Golden Wheel of Blessings into his kidneys and using the blessings to refine the five energies in his chest, wisps of pure blessings and virtues also appeared in Yang Xuan's magic power.

His current magic power can be called the Five Virtues Immortal Energy, and its purity is far beyond that of ordinary magic power.

If supernatural powers are compared to engines, then mana is the energy source.

For the same engine, the purer the energy used, the higher the conversion rate, and the faster the running speed will naturally be.

Yang Xuan uses the Five Virtues Immortal Energy to exercise his supernatural powers, so his power is naturally incomparable to ordinary magic power.

"When I use the Five Virtues Mysterious Art to condense all the five energies in my chest, the purity of my magic power will probably be no less than that of some Golden Immortals. By then, condensing the three flowers on the top of my head and becoming a Golden Immortal will be a sure thing, right?"

Yang Xuan smiled slightly, and became more excited about the next plan. He even flew a little faster.

……

Yaochi. Yang Xuan fell from the sky, and a fairy was waiting beside him, leading him into the palace and bringing him to the incense-burning golden statue of the Queen Mother.

"My dear minister, is there anything you need my help with?"

The Queen Mother was wearing a loose white dress, but it couldn't hide her proud figure. She was graceful, dignified and generous, with a smile on her face.

Her love for Yang Xuan is even higher than Haotian's.

Before entering the Heaven Palace, Haotian was a boy of the Taoist Ancestor. He spent all year playing in the mud in the Zixiao Palace... practicing and attaining enlightenment, so he didn't feel too deeply about the hard life after becoming the Emperor of Heaven.

The Queen Mother of the West is different. She is the lord of West Kunlun and was once one of the two rulers of the Immortal Court.

He could be considered a celebrity in the prehistoric world, but under the arrangement of the Taoist Ancestor, after he entered the Heavenly Palace, he did not even have much time to practice and attain enlightenment.

Her understanding of this hard life is even stronger than Haotian's.

Until Yang Xuan ascended to heaven, recruited many immortals and gods, and promulgated the heavenly merit system.

This made the many immortals and gods stop slacking off like before, and allowed the Heavenly Palace to start operating autonomously. This relieved a lot of her pressure. She no longer had to stay in the Lingxiao Palace every day, and could go back to Yaochi to rest for some time.

In addition, her situation was the same as Haotian's. In that hard life, her Tao heart was tempered and became more and more mature.

After relaxing the mind, your cultivation will also be improved, and you will hopefully be able to kill the evil corpse in the future!

Because of this, she has a very good impression of Yang Xuan. If Yang Xuan asks for anything, she will definitely help him with all her strength.

The Queen Mother of the West is not as inexperienced as Haotian. There are some things that Haotian dare not do, the Queen Mother of the West may not dare to do!

Even if Black Lotus's backing is strong enough, she can't bully the weak. She can lend 'billion' points of magic weapon to Yang Xuan and leave 'billion' points of mana on the magic weapon. That won't be a problem!
Yang Xuan had no idea what the Queen Mother of the West was thinking. After paying his respects, he spoke out his prepared words.

"Your Majesty, now that the four spirits have been gathered together, only the Vermillion Bird is missing to gather all four spirits. By then, the Heavenly Court will be able to control the four seasons of the prehistoric world and make the four seasons in order. The Heavenly Court may be able to operate independently."

“Looking at the entire prehistoric world, the Suzaku clan of the Phoenix clan is the one that best matches the status of the Southern Suzaku.”

"I heard that the Qingluan under your majesty's seat belongs to the Phoenix clan. I wonder if your majesty can ask the Qingluan Fairy to go to the Immortal Volcano and recommend a Vermillion Bird to heaven?"

"So my dear, you came here because of Suzaku..."

There was some regret in the Queen Mother's words. She put away the plain flag of the Eastern Cloud Realm and the bowl of clean water in her sleeves, and at the same time she was filled with emotion.

She originally thought that Yang Xuan came here for Hei Lian. After all, Hei Lian plotted against Yang Xuan this time, and the cause and effect was established.

In addition, Hei Lian was seriously injured by using secret techniques, which made it the best time to deal with him.

It is indeed not convenient for Haotian and Queen Mother to take direct action, but Yang Xuan is the Great Lord of Heaven, so he asks Haotian to borrow the Haotian Mirror to determine the location of the black lotus, and asks Queen Mother to borrow some innate spiritual treasures.

Then bring along the Nine Heavens Mysterious Lady, Bixiao, Xuanniu and other Daluo Golden Immortals to find the Black Lotus together and send the Black Lotus's true spirit back to the river of destiny. Who can find fault with this operation?
Unexpectedly, Yang Xuan came for official business instead of personal matters.

"My dear, this is the bad thing about you. You are so wholeheartedly thinking about the Heavenly Court and have no selfish desires at all. How can I express my gratitude to you..."

The Queen Mother sighed helplessly. She truly felt that having her subjects who were too ambitious was also a nuisance.

Over the past tens of thousands of years, Yang Xuan brought so many changes to the Heavenly Court, but she only gave him an innate Renshui peach. This is totally unfair!
After a moment's silence, the Queen Mother saw that there was no chance to intervene and could only put the matter aside for the time being.

"My dear, if you have any requests, just tell Qingluan directly."

The Queen Mother raised her hand lightly, and a white light appeared beside Yang Xuan. A strange-looking giant bird appeared in his eyes.

This big bird is more than half a person's height, covered with fluffy green feathers, and looks quite round.

The reason why she looks strange is that under her wings, there are two arms as white as jade, each holding a peach.

After seeing the Queen Mother, she was stunned at first, as if she was unable to react to the changes in the surrounding environment.

Followed by.

She hurriedly stuffed the two peaches in her hands into her mouth, tilted her head back, and forcefully swallowed the two peaches that were as big as her head.

It can be clearly seen that the two round objects stretched her slender neck more than twice and were stuck in the middle of her neck. In the end, they were forced down with both hands.

"My Lady, I didn't cheat on you..."

Qingluan released her hands from her neck, lowered her head, and made a final excuse.

Queen Mother: ...

Is it too late to change the mount now? Waiting online, very urgent!

"Fairy Qingluan has quite a personality."

Yang Xuan was amused by Qingluan's appearance. He smiled and joked, then took out a cup of spring water from his sleeve and handed it over.

"Thank you, you're such a good...Gah?!!"

Qing Luan took the cup subconsciously, but the moment she drank the spring water, she saw Yang Xuan's appearance and was immediately startled. She sprayed the water in her mouth, and then...

He was startled again and hurriedly used his magic power to suck the water back before it hit Yang Xuan's face, and then he bowed deeply to Yang Xuan.

"Qing, Qingluan greets the Great Celestial Lord!"

Yang Xuan: ...

Is this really the Queen Mother's mount? I can only say... it's really quite unique...

Yang Xuan subconsciously glanced at the Queen Mother of the West, then looked away as if unintentionally, as if nothing had happened before, and instructed Qing Luan:
"Does Fairy Qingluan have any familiar Suzaku in the Immortal Volcano?"

"Yes, yes. We are very popular in the Phoenix Clan. If the Great Celestial Master has anything to say, just let him know!"

Qingluan heaved a sigh of relief when she saw that Yang Xuan did not blame her. She patted her chest covered with green feathers with her white arms, trying to restore her previous not-so-good image.

"Could you please go back to the Immortal Volcano and invite a Vermillion Bird with decent character and above the Taiyi level to come to my Heavenly Court to serve as the Southern Vermillion Bird?"

"No problem, um..."

Qingluan looked at the Queen Mother and said in a slightly weaker tone, "As long as the Queen Mother agrees, I can set off for the Immortal Volcano right now."

"Since this is my dear minister's request, then you should go to the Undying Volcano and bring back a Suzaku!"

The Queen Mother looked indifferent, and there was no sign of anything unusual, but her toes were so embarrassed that she seemed to be digging out a fairy palace.

No one can remain calm in this situation!
"Please rest assured, Madam, we will definitely bring back a qualified Suzaku!"

After saying that, Qingluan fled out of Yaochi and rushed towards Nantianmen. She disappeared in the blink of an eye, not daring to stay for even a quarter of an hour.

"This is so freaking scary, why is the Great Celestial Master here?"

"Those people in the Ministry of War said that the Great Celestial Venerable would eat eight phoenixes, nine dragons, and countless spiritual roots every Yuanhui to satisfy his hunger."

"I must perform well this time, otherwise I will probably have half of the phoenixes in this Yuanhui..."

Qingluan looked back in the direction of Yaochi and made a decision in her heart. No matter what, she had to bring back a Vermillion Bird this time...

PS: Let me add something about the setting of the Queen Mother. There are two mainstream settings.

One theory is that the Queen Mother of the West and the Queen Mother are not the same person. The Queen Mother, like Haotian, is Hongjun's boy.

The second theory, which is also adopted by the author in this book, is that when the Queen Mother of the West was in the Immortal Court (during the period when she preached in the Zixiao Palace), Hongjun personally appointed her as the leader of the prehistoric female fairies and she ruled the Immortal Court together with the King of the East.

Later, the King of the East died, the Immortal Palace was destroyed, the Demon Clan Heavenly Palace was born, and the Queen Mother of the West returned to West Kunlun.

After the wizard-lich calamity was over, he entered the Xuanmen Heavenly Palace under the arrangement of Hongjun.
