Controlling the Five Thunders and the Two Worlds

Chapter 279 The Power of the Great Luo Palace
As the light from the east faded, Daoist Qingyuan and Daoist Qingwei were revealed; they belonged to the Sanfeng School of Zhenwu Mountain.

The light from the north dissipated, revealing Yun Yang leading Daoist Jing Hong and Daoist Jing Fa, members of the Northwest Longmen Sect.

As the light from the south dissipated, Daoist Shenhao and Daoist Yuzhang walked together, representing the lineage of Shangqing and Beidi.

As the light in the west faded, Daoist Yansong and Daoist Yanqi walked slowly towards them; this was the lineage of Gu Qingcheng.

Master Jingfeng clicked his tongue. "Should I call Jingchun over?"

Gu Zhao shook his head and chuckled, "Uncle Yuanhe of the Chunyang lineage has no background, so he can't catch this train."

Master Yansong laughed and said, "There's only one Black Furnace Ghost King. There aren't many experts on Black Furnace Mountain. If there are more people, there won't be enough to go around."

Master Shenhao raised a white eyebrow, a fierce glint in his eyes, "Then find some more demons and monsters in Qianshan Prefecture and eliminate them all!"

Master Yuzhang nodded in agreement, “I’ve been to Qianshan Prefecture, and the Tianjue Society isn’t exactly a reputable organization either.”

Master Qingwei gently stroked the hilt of his sword, saying, "Master Sanfeng vanquished demons on the day of Jiazi, and we, his descendants, must not tarnish his reputation."

Gu Zhao was speechless. It was just an online rumor, or a fan-made film, with no basis. It seemed that Master Qingwei had been fooled by some young people who went to Zhenwu Mountain.

only……

It's definitely really exciting...

Seeing so many experts suddenly appear, all with murderous intent, not only Xu Jing and his wife, but even Ziyun Jun couldn't help but swallow hard.

As fellow disciples of the Daluo Palace, Master Mingchong appears so amiable, yet these old masters seem so impassioned.
Li Qing Shuang's eyes twitched. Apart from Daoist Yan Song, whom she had met before, she did not recognize the others. But how did the Daluo Palace suddenly have so many experts?
Li Qingshuang turned to look at Gu Zhao. No wonder this man said he wasn't afraid of the Netherfire Cult Leader. Just these people alone were already comparable to the combined forces of the three major powers in Shide Prefecture.

Master Jingfeng chuckled strangely. This was why he had no regrets at all, even though he hadn't managed to capture the Black Furnace Ghost King, because he knew the Black Furnace Ghost King couldn't escape.

Even if he hides in his own lair, he still can't escape!

"No rush." ​​Gu Zhao stood up and smiled. "The Black Furnace Ghost King is nothing. Brother Ziyun and Brother Xu and his wife have just arrived on the mountain. Since our senior uncles are here, let's have dinner together tonight to welcome you."

Master Shenhao stroked his beard and laughed, "Excellent, excellent!"

Master Yuzhang smiled and said, "Since you all possess spiritual energy, we should visit each other more often in the future."

Master Jinghong and Master Jingfa greeted each other with smiles.

The group also saw Li Qingshuang and learned about her relationship with Gu Zhao from Daoist Yansong. Naturally, they all greeted her respectfully without the slightest neglect.

……

After accompanying Ziyun Jun and Xu Jingyue and his wife on a tour of the Daluo Palace, Ziyun Jun was full of praise, while Xu Jingyue and his wife were overjoyed, feeling that it was extremely wise of them to have their daughter become a disciple of Daoist Jingfeng of the Daluo Palace.

Yue Yan is a ghost, and Xu Jing is her soulmate. The two of them cultivate at a faster pace. Xu Sirou is their daughter. Although she is a human with yin energy, her cultivation method is rudimentary, and she may die before them.

However, now that she has joined the Daluo Palace, according to Master Jingfeng, her talent is best suited for inheriting the "Northern Yin Fengdu Method" or the "Eastern Yue Diqi Method" within the palace. Five hundred years of cultivation is not difficult, and longevity is within reach.

If there were another compatible spirit or deity, the cultivation speed would only be faster! Inside the Great Luo Palace, the trees were lush and green, the incense was burning brightly, the outer disciples were full of energy, and the inner disciples had their divine light contained. The Taoist charm that permeated the palace and temple showed the immortal atmosphere of this place.

The group had sharp eyes and could see the sharp longswords and golden bracelets that the disciples were equipped with. Many disciples had also exchanged for various pills and magic treasures. Each of them would be a formidable opponent even if they were sent down the mountain.

They even saw several disciples who, despite not being strong enough, were able to fly through the air!
This is only the headquarters of the Daluo Palace on Cuiluo Mountain. They just learned that several elders of the Daluo Palace are stationed at the Daluo Temples in Changping Prefecture and Baishi Prefecture and have not returned. Moreover, there are also Daluo disciples there.

If we calculate it this way, wouldn't there be about a dozen experts in the Great Luo Palace with more than five hundred years of cultivation?

How prosperous it was!

……

The Daluo Palace covers a large area, and the group did not fly around. They strolled and chatted, enjoying many scenic views in the afternoon. They also tasted some newly planted and harvested seasonal fruits in the Vermilion Bird Forest.

At the banquet, the dishes were still a blend of the two worlds. Although neither Ziyun Jun nor Xu Jing and his wife were gluttonous, they were still greatly impressed by the various new dishes.

Ziyun Jun sipped the Wuliangye in his glass, his face flushing even more. He stroked his long beard, which emitted a medicinal fragrance, making him slightly tipsy. "Rich and fragrant, sweet on the palate! Fine wine! Truly fine wine!"

Yue Yan was more interested in various desserts and drinks. She and Xu Sirou tried dragon beard candy, mung bean cake, pumpkin cake, orange juice, plum juice, and so on, and loved them.

Gu Zhao waved his hand and said, "Brother Ziyun is a lover of wine. Take a few jars with you when you go back. Also, Xiu Niang should prepare some desserts for Madam Xu. However, these things are not easy to preserve, so Madam Xu should not keep them for too long."

Ziyun Jun hurriedly refused, but Daoist Mingchong smiled and pressed his hand down, "It's just some ordinary wine, not worth much, Brother Feng, there's no need to refuse."

"Such a mellow and smooth wine is a rare gem. It takes the essence of one jar to be produced from a hundred jars of brewing. How can you say it's worthless?"

Ziyun Jun was not ignorant, but seeing the enthusiasm of Daoist Mingchong and the people of Daluo Palace, Ziyun Jun thought about it and decided not to refuse anymore. He simply raised his cup to toast Gu Zhao again.

In this way, both host and guests enjoyed themselves.

……

The next morning, as soon as Gu Zhao got up, he saw several streaks of light rise into the sky and fly straight to the west. It turned out that Daoist Jingfeng and others were taking Xu Jing and his wife to Qianshan Prefecture to seek out the Black Furnace Ghost King.

However, Ziyun Jun and Daoist Mingchong did not go with them. Instead, they stayed at Daluo Palace and talked about various medicinal herbs and spiritual plants, as well as medicine preparation and alchemy. In addition to Daoist Mingchong giving Ziyun Jun ten jars of premium Wuliangye liquor, Ziyun Jun also generously left two ginseng roots and soaked them in two jars of liquor.

Master Ming Chong said to Gu Zhao, "This is a spiritual wine made with a purple jade ginseng that has cultivated for thousands of years and has become a spirit, supplemented with three kinds of spiritual materials and eighteen kinds of herbs. Its effects are no less than those of elixirs and can prolong life and prevent all diseases in mortals."

Gu Zhao swallowed hard. "Can an ordinary person drink this?"

Master Mingchong said solemnly, "It should be diluted at least ten times."

Gu Zhao nodded, "Then I'll trouble you, Uncle-Master. Dilute one jar and send it to our relatives and friends, and keep the other jar for our own use or to entertain guests."

“Alright!” Master Mingyu agreed.

At that moment, Gu Zhao's mind stirred, and the Five Thunder Token shook, receiving a baleful aura from the void.
