Chapter 698: Chapter 459: Master Xu’s Plan!_2
Meanwhile, the thirty-eight newly promoted heavenly immortals were still refining their immortal artifacts.
Feeling bored, Xu Yang took out his talisman brush and paper and began drawing Daoist talismans.
This time, he did not draw the 24-grade Immortal Talisman.
Wulei Talisman!
Compared to the 24-grade Immortal Talisman, the power of the Wulei Talisman might be a bit weaker, but it has a great restraining effect on Yin spirits, malevolent beings, undead, and demons, including the Netherworld Demons. Thus, it is more effective than the 24-grade Immortal Talisman.
Soon.
Xu Yang entered the state of “forgetting self and object.”
Under this state, he spent two full days and nights drawing the Wulei Talismans, completing nearly 70,000 of them. His body’s “rules of Thunderbolt Immortal method” increased by nearly 100, and his Immortal Infant grew much stronger.
Especially since Xu Yang had cultivated the “Nine Revolutions of the Primordial Spirit,” he estimated that the strength of his “Immortal Infant” should be comparable to an ordinary Golden Immortal.
He glanced at Yun Mengxi, who was still refining the “Wu Earth Pearl.”
Moreover, as she refined the “Wu Earth Pearl,” her own body benefitted greatly as her “earth element rules” improved a lot. Once she finished refining the “Wu Earth Pearl,” Yue Yuluo’s cultivation level might even reach the middle stage of the Heavenly Immortal Realm.
This discovery made Xu Yang quite annoyed!
Indeed!
Comparing oneself to others really could make one feel irritated!
Others gained so much benefit from refining a Post-Heaven Spirit Treasure, while he effortlessly refined an Innate Spirit Treasure.
At this moment, the thirty-eight newly promoted heavenly immortals had already taken control of their newly acquired immortal artifacts.
Xu Yang approached them and chatted with them for a while.
Among the thirty-eight, twenty of them were from the Qin Dynasty era. They were originally skilled fighters in the army, willing to die for Emperor Qin Shi Huang’s “hegemony” and turned into heroic spirits to protect the Emperor Qin Shi Huang’s Mausoleum.
They had practiced at Emperor Qin Shi Huang’s Mausoleum for more than 2,000 years before achieving their current accomplishments.
Upon careful thought, it didn’t seem exaggerated.
After all, there were hundreds of thousands of heroic spirits in Emperor Qin Shi Huang’s Mausoleum!
Practicing for more than 2,000 years and producing twenty heavenly immortals from hundreds of thousands of spirits seemed reasonable.
The remaining eighteen heavenly immortals were skilled experts from various dynasties.
The oldest among them could be traced back to the Han Dynasty period, while the youngest was named Ji Jike.
Xu Yang had heard of Ji Jike and had seen his records in the files of the Supernatural Affairs Bureau. He immediately bowed his fist and said, “So it’s the legendary God Fist Senior Ji, I’ve long admired you.”
Ji Jike was extremely surprised, returned the courtesy, and said, “I didn’t expect that someone would still remember a mere martial artist like me after so many years of my death.”
Xu Yang said, “Senior Ji is the founder of Xingyi Fist and a well-known general from the late Ming Dynasty. He is known as the God Fist, the most famous boxing master within six hundred years after the communication between Heaven and Earth, and his name went down in history. I also practiced martial arts when I was younger, so how could I be unaware of him?”
Ji Jike appeared to be in his forties.
He sported a tuft of goatee.
Xu Yang’s “flattery” pleased him greatly, so he couldn’t help but show a smile and said, “I did create Liuhe Spear Art, Liuhe Fist Art, Mind Liuhe Fist, Mind Fist, and Xingyi Fist, but as for the founder of Xingyi Fist, it is not me but my ancestor Li Luoneng.”
Besides Ji Jike, among the seventeen other heavenly immortals, a few of them were also familiar to Xu Yang.
After chatting for a while, Xu Yang stood up and said, “Since you seniors have already finished refining your immortal artifacts, why not take a tour around Fengdu City? This city is the most prosperous city in the Underworld Palace and the headquarters of the Underworld. It is equivalent to the cultural, economic, and political center of the Underworld Palace. I assume you seniors have never been to Fengdu City before?”
Ji Jike said, “When I died, two burly men with weapons suddenly broke into my house. I thought they were ghost officials from the Underworld coming to take my soul, but I didn’t expect to end up at Emperor Qin Shi Huang’s Holy City. We were all brought there forcibly as remnants of souls, so naturally, we have never been to Fengdu City.”
He paused.
Ji Jike then continued, “However, the cost of living in Fengdu City is extremely high. We have been dead for too long and haven’t received much wealth in offerings over the years. Since we would only be window-shopping, it would be better for us to stay here and cultivate.”
Xu Yang was stunned.
He then burst into laughter and said, “Fengdu City is my home, so as my guests, how can I let you seniors spend money?”
Although these thirty-eight “heavenly immortals” had become immortals,
they were ghosts who had become immortals.
It was natural for them to receive “netherworld currency” as offerings.
Xu Yang took out a half-bag of netherworld currency and burned it in front of everyone, saying, “Please use this money first, and if it’s not enough, feel free to ask for more… My wife is currently refining a post-heaven spirit treasure, and it may not be done anytime soon. I’m afraid you’ll have to stay here for a few more days and wait patiently.”
These thirty-eight heavenly immortals were visiting Fengdu City for the first time.
In fact, they had been itching to go sightseeing.
The reason they stayed here was that they had no money on them.
After all…
They were all skilled experts who had become immortals.
If they went out shopping without any cash, wouldn’t that be embarrassing?
Now that they had the money, they grouped up and soon left the mansion.
Xu Yang set up an eighteen-layer Daoist formation outside the room where Yue Yuluo was refining the “Wu Earth Pearl” and left, planning to go for a walk.
He contacted White Impermanence’s son, “Xie Xun,” and they agreed to meet at the entrance of a restaurant named “Zuichun House.”
After waiting for about 20 minutes, Xie Xun, wearing an Underworld official robe, hurriedly arrived.
After not seeing each other for just a few months, this guy’s cultivation had directly broken through to the Ghost Immortal level. As soon as they met, he straightened the official hat on his head and respectfully bowed to Xu Yang, saying, “My nephew Xie Xun, pays his respect to Uncle Xu.”
It must be said that…
White Impermanence, Xie Bian, had a good son.
Xie Xun knew how to handle things well.
This could be seen from his attitude towards Xu Yang.
It was also because of Xu Yang’s connections that he was arranged to take an official position after returning from the human world by Lord Cui.
It was an idle position with no real authority but had a high rank.
However, what made Lord Cui hesitate to arrange him back was that Xie Xun did his job extremely well, developed a good relationship with everyone, and had a good reputation and popularity… With the increasing number of lost souls in Fengdu City a few months ago, Lord Cui gave Xie Xun a job with real authority.
Unexpectedly, he managed to do it.
So…
Xie Xun has become Lord Cui’s “secretary” now.
“Secretary… Uncle Xu, did I use the term correctly?”
Inside Zuichun House, Xie Xun poured wine for Xu Yang, looking triumphant: “Lord Cui even bestowed a treasure upon me, helping me to improve my cultivation. He said that if I can achieve great results, when I reach the Immortal Being Realm, he could even ask Emperor Dongyue for a Judge position for me.”
After a few drinks…
Xie Xun got a bit overwhelmed and said, “Hehe, when I become a Judge, my father will definitely be angry… He used to mock me as a useless person, and if this useless person surpasses him, the scene would be beautiful.”
“You really are a big jokester!”
Xu Yang couldn’t help but comment.
After finishing their drinks, Xie Xun hurriedly left, saying, “Uncle Xu, the Underworld has been too busy recently, I can’t accompany you… Next time you come back, I’ll give you a good tour.”
With Xie Xun gone,
Xu Yang felt bored, bought some unique pastries and dishes from the Underworld, and then returned to the mansion.
Unexpectedly, outside the mansion, Xu Yang encountered a familiar figure.
Dai Temple’s Meng Mingshan!
Or rather…
“Marshal Meng” under Emperor Dongyue.
Meng Mingshan still had the same youthful appearance, but the aura about him was extremely powerful. To Xu Yang, he seemed no weaker than Lord Cui. Behind him were more than a dozen strong cultivators.
These powerful cultivators had comparable strength to Sirius Star Lord, and they were likely experts at the “Golden Immortal” level.
“Meng Mingshan, why are you here?”
“Great… Supreme Sage!”
Meng Mingshan once practiced at Xishan Wanshou Palace for more than a month, so he called Xu Yang “Supreme Sage.” He said, “Supreme Sage, I have heard about the situation on Earth. I grew up in Dai Temple and practiced in Wanshou Palace. In this life, I am a person of Earth and will naturally do my part to defend it.”
