Controlling the Five Thunders and the Two Worlds

Chapter 220 Gu Zhao: This is too difficult and exhausting for me!

Gu Zhao received the message from Yun Yang.

"From Shide Prefecture?"

According to the female ghost, the leader of the Yongzhou Netherfire Sect attacked Shide Prefecture. Although he was forced back by several experts working together, he still caused considerable damage.

Fearing being caught in the crossfire, the female ghosts, having heard that there were few experts in Changping Prefecture, discussed their options and decided to head west to Jiangzhou.

I never expected to be defeated on my first attempt.

"You confessed pretty quickly," Gu Zhao asked with a smile. "How did you scare her?"

“My senior uncles first made a move to intimidate her, and then I told her that she could leave as long as she beat me,” Yun Yang said with a grin. “She saw that I was young, so she happily agreed.”

Gu Zhao couldn't help but shake his head.

Don't let Yun Yang's youth fool you; he arrived relatively early and has been following me around, accumulating over three hundred years of cultivation. In terms of cultivation alone, he's even more powerful than my uncle.

"Be careful, there might be demons and monsters from Shide Prefecture coming from that direction," Gu Zhao warned.

“I know, so my fellow martial uncles and I are planning to travel around Chongguang County and Zhennan County to the north again,” Yun Yang said. “Martial Uncle Shenhao said he would also draw some talismans for the Daluo Temple in these two counties.”

Gu Zhao slapped his forehead. Daoist Shenhao came from the Shangqing Sect and was most skilled at drawing talismans and chanting incantations. The talismans he made were bound to be of high quality. With him in charge, he could rest easy.

"Okay, then you guys take care of yourselves." Gu Zhao reminded them, then didn't think much of it.

These old Taoist priests acted as a group, and they were not afraid at all even if they encountered a master with five hundred years of Taoist cultivation. If the other party was careless, they might all lose their lives.

After ending the call with Yun Yang, Gu Zhao was about to rest when Master Ming Chong came looking for her again.

"Sect Leader." Master Ming Chong said with a smile.

"Uncle-Master," Gu Zhao greeted him, then her gaze fell on the small porcelain bottle in his hand, "This is..."

"This is Wenhuang Dan," Master Mingchong said with a smile. "It is made with Wendan grass and yellow lemon, which are imbued with the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, as the main ingredients, along with twelve kinds of herbs. It can nourish yin and strengthen yang, and replenish the five internal organs. Cultivators can take it to consolidate their foundation and increase their cultivation, while ordinary people can take it to prolong their lives and prevent all diseases."

Master Ming Chong handed the porcelain bottle to Gu Zhao, saying, "Twelve were produced at once. I tasted one to test the medicine, and these are the remaining eleven."

"Impressive! You actually figured out a method for alchemy." Gu Zhao took the porcelain bottle.

"It's just a hobby," Master Mingchong said with a smile. "The main thing is that alchemy requires a high degree of utilization of the medicinal properties of herbs. After all, good things should always be put to good use, and it would be a pity to waste them."

Gu Zhao smiled upon hearing this.

In fact, the profound Taoist Qi can accomplish many things, and there are also talismans that can regulate the five Qi, cure diseases and strengthen the body. Not to mention anything else, the Tiangang Talisman can nourish life and improve health, and the Tongtian Baoguang Talisman can even cure terminal diseases.

However, spiritual herbs also have their own effects. After all, some special medicinal properties have effects that spiritual energy does not possess. For example, nourishing yin and strengthening yang, spiritual energy can only restore a person to their original strength, but medicinal herbs can give a person more enhancements.

Gu Zhao thought for a moment, "Will it still work on me?"

Master Mingchong laughed heartily, glanced subconsciously at Zhuo Qingyan's residence in the backyard, and then said, "If the sect leader is interested, he can eat one to try. However, the sect leader's cultivation is profound, and he has also practiced the 'Dongzhen Huanglu,' which has excellent effects. Generally speaking, there is no need to supplement it."

"Generally speaking?" Gu Zhao asked, "Is there another possibility?"

Master Mingchong shook his head, "The other situation is that one doesn't get out of bed from beginning to end all day. Excessive cultivation will inevitably lead to fatigue."

Gu Zhao was speechless. "Who could stand that? Your words are too precise." Master Ming Chong chuckled. "There have been such people in history who wanted to emulate the Yellow Emperor's ascension to immortality by having sex with women. They sought out this method at the Celestial Master's Mansion, disregarded the consumption of energy, practiced day and night, overdrawing their bodies, and finally died in bed when their life force was exhausted."

Gu Zhao, “…”

Gu Zhao changed the subject, "How is your father's health?"

"Thank you for your concern, Master. My father is in good health," Master Mingchong said with a smile. "He has been wearing the Golden Gang Bracelet for health and protection, and I also gave him some lemon wine to drink two qian a day. His spirits are much better than before."

"That's good." Gu Zhao nodded, holding up the porcelain bottle in her hand. "Would you like one for the old man?"

“That won’t do!” Master Mingchong shook his head repeatedly. “My father is too old and can’t handle the nourishment. He can’t take these pills. The lemon wine is enough.”

Master Ming Chong winked at Gu Zhao and transmitted his thoughts, "Sect Leader, you can give this to your parents. If you have a young boyfriend or girlfriend, the effect of taking this elixir is more significant than that of the lemon wine."

Gu Zhao smiled knowingly and nodded in satisfaction, "Not bad! Not bad!"

At this point, Gu Zhao asked again, "Have you finished using that yellow lemon?"

"There are still two-thirds left," Master Mingchong said with a smile. "That's why I say the utilization rate of alchemy is high. Moreover, the medicinal herb warehouse in the palace has already had quite a few more spiritual herbs."

"Huh?" Gu Zhao asked, puzzled.

"The disciples of the Great Luo Palace are filial. These days, they have sent back to the palace any spiritual herbs or good medicinal materials that they have accidentally discovered while traveling in the world, without asking for anything in return."

Master Mingchong said, "I checked the warehouse management records and there are already about ten spiritual herbs. That's why I came to the sect leader to see if we can introduce another system, such as allowing those who contribute spiritual herbs to the palace to accumulate points, which can then be exchanged for pills or high-grade talismans."

"Okay!" Gu Zhao nodded.

Previously, they had only established a system for managing their disciples, and then each disciple was equipped with a modern weapon, some offensive and defensive talismans, and a golden sandalwood bracelet as a standard protective amulet.

It can only be said that the Daluo Palace is still in its early stages of construction, and it is very different from the units and enterprises on Earth, and its management system is not yet perfect.

take it easy.

So Gu Zhao held a meeting with several old Taoist priests through the Five Thunder Tokens, and initially formulated a contribution points system for disciples. Then, he put things like pills, high-level talismans, and magic artifacts into the points exchange pool.

"I just graduated!" Gu Zhao exclaimed. "How come I have to manage such a huge company? It's so hard for me!"

If he could, Gu Zhao would just like to flirt with girls and travel between the two worlds—how wonderful that would be!
Little did he know that the environment he was transported to was treacherous, and his cheat ability required him to recruit people, which ended up placing him in the position of the Great Luo Palace Master.

"It's too exhausting!" Gu Zhao sighed.

"Really?" Bai Ke asked skeptically.

She sat on a branch of an old tree in the courtyard, watching Gu Zhao sitting in a recliner, fanning himself and enjoying the sunshine. She couldn't tell that he was working hard at all.

"Of course." Gu Zhao nodded affirmatively. "Mental exhaustion is mentally tiring, and I'm just too tired right now, so I'm resting."

Bai Ke still shook her head, "I don't believe it."

But the embroiderer expressed her belief, saying, "Young Master has to manage such a large Daluo Palace and often goes into seclusion to cultivate, and his cultivation level is rising rapidly. How could he not be tired?"

Gu Zhao opened his eyes, looked into the embroiderer's pure and sincere eyes, and nodded heavily, "The embroiderer is right!"
