From a Zhengyi Taoist Child to a Master of All Laws

Chapter 178: Immortal Family Grand Gathering [5K chapter! Please subscribe! Please vote! ]

The "Vientiane Evening Party" is scheduled to be held on New Year's Eve, which is the night of February 4th.

Before that, Baiyun Mountain was fully preparing for the Spring Festival.

Wang Xin went down the mountain holding the token and took his cousin Yang Yingying up the mountain, and also brought 100 kilograms of Bailing rice to the Yang family.

Some of the Bailing rice this time was the share distributed by Wang Xin on the mountain after he broke through Qi Ling, and some was the prize given to the only financial sponsor of Baiyun Mountain after Li Yang’s approval.

Yang Yingying was a little nervous at first. She was traveling through clouds and fog all the way and felt apprehensive about the fairy-like atmosphere here.

When they reached the mountain, before they saw Li Yang and Chi Yanhong, they saw a sneaky girl wiping her lips and sneaking out of the dining hall.

Wang Xin's face changed drastically when he saw this:

"You are so good, Zhao Ziyao. While I was down the mountain, you went to the kitchen to eat again!"

Wang Xin walked into the kitchen, cursing, and after checking around, he ran out with his teeth bared: "You picked out the good ones to eat secretly. I finally cooked a pot of bacon, and you ruined it all again!!"

Zhao Ziyao burped, her face not red and she was not out of breath:
"What right do you have to accuse me of cheating? Do you have any evidence? Why don't you just keep stewing the meat in the pot?"

"Bullshit! The meat has no fragrance at all now. It tastes like wood. Who else could it be except you, a wild ghost?"

A trace of embarrassment flashed across Zhao Ziyao's face.

Since returning from the spiritual energy exploration, Zhao Ziyao has finally made some progress in learning the soul-nourishing method mentioned in the Bayeux Zen Scriptures. Although there is still some distance to go before she can condense her Yin Spirit, she has achieved the small success that Li Yang had mentioned at the beginning and has recovered some of her five senses.

Ever since he was transformed into a puppet, Zhao Ziyao has never experienced the ups and downs of life. On the first day after his five senses were restored, he began to overeat as if in revenge.

The way she eats is different from that of ordinary people. She purely absorbs the smell and essence of the food. Although the food remains the same, all the nutritional essence has been absorbed by her.

This guy is now considered a scourge to Baiyun Mountain, so Wang Xin angrily denounced him as a wild ghost.

"Just wait and see how I complain to Master Li and Master. I want to see how long you, a newly promoted divine general, can last!"

Seeing that Zhao Ziyao was obviously unmoved and was trying to play it safe, Wang Xin frowned and directly used his trump card.

After these words were spoken, Zhao Ziyao, who had just had a rogue look on his face, became visibly flustered.

"I'm telling you, Zhu Ling was also eating with me. She ate less, so she ran away first. If you report me, Zhu Ling will be punished too!"

Zhao Ziyao uttered some harsh words and ran away as if escaping.

Wang Xin naturally didn't believe Zhao Ziyao's lies. How could Zhu Ling be like this given his character?

But considering that Zhu Ling and Zhao Ziyao have been inseparable recently, talking and laughing, Wang Xin is a little unsure.

What if Zhu Ling, who is as innocent as a little yellow flower, is really led astray by this guy?
After thinking it over, Wang Xin could only consider himself unlucky and cook another pot.

Yang Yingying watched all this in amazement, without saying a word.

When she saw Zhao Ziyao running away swiftly in the woods, her face couldn't help but jump.

It turns out that this imagined holy land of immortals is not as cold and aloof as I imagined.
Not only is this place full of vitality and humane, but even the red color of the lights and decorations is no less than that of ordinary homes down the mountain.

The rich aroma of meat wafted from the dining hall again. Feeling less restrained, Yang Yingying rolled up her sleeves and entered the dining room. The female boss of a listed company was now preparing for the New Year's Eve dinner on Baiyun Mountain.

When they arrived at the back mountain, Zhu Ling and Chi Yanhong were hanging lanterns. There were many rooms in Yuchan Hall and Yangwu Hall, and it took a lot of effort to hang the lanterns and hang the door couplets.

The sound of firecrackers had been heard at the foot of the mountain. Thanks to the innate Chi Yanhong, the lanterns in the Yuchan and Yangwu temples were soon hung up. It was very festive to see the red color complementing the solemn and ancient Taoist buildings.

"Where is Master Li? Why are you two the only ones working here?"

After hanging up the lanterns, Zhu Ling and Chi Yanhong started to paste door couplets. Zhao Ziyao joined in. Not seeing Li Yang around, she asked curiously.

"Master flew out on his sword this morning, saying he wanted to prepare some New Year's goods for the mountain."

"New Year's goods? The things Wang Xin and her cousin bought are almost filling up the warehouse. What else do we need for New Year's goods?"

Zhu Ling shook his head to indicate that he didn't know. Chi Yanhong had just pasted the door couplet of the main hall of Yuchan Hall, jumped down from the ladder, and said:
"He said those were just mundane things, and he wanted to buy some New Year's goods for cultivating immortality, and also make some preparations for the 'Vientiane Gala' in the evening."

Chi Yanhong tapped Zhao Ziyao's forehead in annoyance and said, "Don't go to the dining hall to eat every day. Wang Xin has complained to me several times. After eating, he used Zhu Ling as a shield. Aren't you afraid that the guy will come back and punish you."

Zhao Ziyao rubbed her forehead, her face flushed, and she had no choice but to lower her head and agree.

When Baiyun Mountain was filled with excitement, at three o'clock in the afternoon, Li Yang returned on his sword.

Li Yang flew directly to the front mountain, pressed the sword light, and before Wang Xin and Yang Yingying came to say hello, he threw out a huge monster from the storage ring with a "bang".

"Wulian Tianzun, this beast hid very well. After harassing the villagers, it went back into the mountains. It took me a lot of effort!"

Yang Yingying was startled at first, but when she looked carefully, she found that the huge creature was actually a green bull with a single horn.

This cow's hair was extremely gorgeous, light blue like silk, and its muscles looked like they were clustered together into one piece of iron.

But unfortunately, a smooth cut passed through the neck, and he was dead as hell.

Wang Xin stroked the one-horned green bull. Even though the bull was dead, it still gave him a terrifying sense of oppression. He couldn't help but mutter, "Master Li, did you steal and kill the bull of the old man Taishang Laojun?"

Li Yang curled his lips in disdain: "Where did the Taishang Laojun come from? He is just a beast that harms the villagers."

Chi Yanhong rushed over after hearing the news, and when he saw the one-horned green bull on the ground, he immediately felt a sense of familiarity.

After a long while, she suddenly realized, "Isn't this the green bull that caused trouble in the north? I heard that it was discovered by Taoist Zheng Zhaoyuan during his spiritual energy exploration. It destroyed a lot of crops and injured countless people, but it was tough and fought Zheng Zhaoyuan twice, and then fled back to the mountains."

Chi Yanhong had a strange look on his face and looked up at Li Yang.

This beast escaped Zheng Zhaoyuan, but was targeted by this guy when he was buying New Year's goods.

"That's not right. Zheng Zhaoyuan seems to be the innate from Qingcheng Mountain. How do we know about his spiritual energy exploration?" Wang Xin asked puzzledly.

Li Yang smiled faintly. That was naturally marked on the spiritual energy feng shui map. However, the spiritual energy feng shui map was also top secret on Baiyun Mountain. Only Li Yang and Chi Yanhong could check it.

In fact, Li Yang originally wanted to go to Dongting Lake to look for the unlucky creature that looked like a dragon. However, he couldn't find any trace of it, so he had no choice but to take care of the green cow along the way.

Li Yang threw the Nanming Sword to Wang Xin and said with a smile: "This guy has thick skin and flesh. I don't think your ordinary tools can break his defense. Use my sword to cut him later."

"This cow is a natural species. It is of infinite use to practitioners like us. We can just clean it up and grill it tonight."

After Zhu Ling and Zhao Ziyao posted the door couplets on the back mountain, they also came to the dining hall to pack up the blue cow with Wang Xin and Yang Yingying. Li Yang and Chi Yanhong came to the warehouse and began to sort out the current resource situation of Baiyun Mountain.

Ever since Li Yang and Chi Yanhong forged swords one after another last time, Baiyun Mountain’s wealth has been almost completely consumed by the two gold-eating beasts. Fortunately, it has finally recovered now.

In the warehouse, metal minerals are stacked in order according to their properties. After a year of development in Mount Emei, many good things have been discovered and sent to Baiyun Mountain according to the proportion.

The most precious spirit stones have not been developed much yet, but Li Yang's current cultivation speed is not as fast as the amount of spirit stones. Except for a few people practicing, the rest of the spirit stones are all buried in the spirit fields to cultivate spirit plants.

In addition to these metal minerals, there are also piles of spiritual rice, jars of Baiyun Li, and several boxes of spiritual pearls collected in the Qiongzhou Strait.

In addition, the bulk of the rest is piles of talismans.

These talismans were drawn by Li Yang with his experience gained in recent days. There are many kinds of talismans. Except for the small thunder talisman and celestial talisman paper, most of the others are spiritual talismans that are beneficial to the human body and low-level cultivators. They are also the most traded resource in Baiyun Mountain besides spiritual rice.

"The Xingyun Talisman of the Mountain Protection Array is almost a year old now. I will ask Zhu Ling and Zhao Ziyao to replace the talisman jade later."

Chi Yanhong nodded and took the eight Xingyun Fu jade beads handed over by Li Yang.

More precious items such as the earth milk, sword pills, bronze lamps, and the ancient lotus seed obtained from Master Chi Yanhong's small pavilion were placed in Li Yang's storage ring and carried with him.

Inspecting the rich fortune he had earned like a landlord and stroking the ring on his finger, Li Yang couldn't suppress his pride and even walked more briskly.

We had to attend the 'Vanxiang Evening Party' in the evening, so today's New Year's Eve dinner started early. Although there were only six of us, Wang Xin and his sister still managed to prepare several tables of dishes, including chicken, duck, fish, goose, shrimp, crab, cattle, and mutton.

The staple food is naturally spiritual rice, and diluted Baiyun Li. The transplanting of spiritual plants on the mountainside has already produced initial results, so many of the side dishes on the table are spiritual vegetables.

If the cost of this New Year's Eve dinner is converted into money, it is simply an astronomical figure. After Li Yang's speech, the table was filled with clinking glasses and the sound of bowls and chopsticks.

Li Yang did not restrict the diet of Wang Xin and Golden Toad Squirrel in the past two days. It was obvious that the three of them were unable to control themselves under the pressure, and their bodies showed signs of rebounding after being swept away by the wind.

When the wine was at its best, everyone at the table showed off their drinking skills. Li Yang waved his sleeves and frost formed on the Baiyun Liquor in everyone's cups, making it taste even better.

Chi Yanhong was not willing to be outdone. He tapped his fingers lightly, and the aroma of wine began to boil in everyone's cups. He smiled and said, "Since ancient times, good wine is best drunk warm. How can we drink cold wine?"

Zhao Ziyao thought about it and used the excuse of performing a magic trick. She opened her mouth and sucked, and the wine in everyone's cups instantly turned into clear water, while her face turned red.

Of course, her magic was soon sanctioned by everyone on the field, with Li Yang being the most ruthless.

Even Zhu Ling, who had been quiet all the time, performed a trick. The wine jug automatically rose into the air, and without anyone controlling it, he refilled several people's glasses with wine.

Wang Xin was stunned and couldn't understand what he meant after pondering for a long time. She thought that Li Yang had passed on his unique skill of controlling objects to her.

Li Yang curled his lips. This was certainly not controlling objects, but the Five Ghosts Moving Method in Yinshan Magic.

Everyone at the table was chatting leisurely. Yang Yingying drank a cup of diluted Baiyun Li, her face flushed.
Looking at the battle between the immortals on the field and her cousin who was getting younger and younger, Yang Yingying had a lot of thoughts in her mind.

If you give up something, you will gain something. She also had this dream of becoming an immortal.

When they were half full, the highlight of the meal, the blue ox, was cut into pieces and carried up, covered in blood.

While Yang Yingying was still surprised, she saw Li Yang took out the Baiyun Mountain "door rule" and strung the cut beef together with threaded steel bars.

After the beef is skewered, Wang Xin spreads the secret seasoning evenly on the meat and then brushes it evenly with honey.

When Wang Xin left, Yang Yingying asked carefully, "Why is there no equipment for this barbecue? Not even a grill and charcoal?"

Wang Xin smiled mysteriously: "This is of course Baiyun Mountain's exclusive roasting method."

As he spoke, Li Yang raised his hand and threw the beef into the air. He pointed his finger and a bright yellow flame appeared out of nowhere in the air. The beef sizzled under the flame.

Yang Yingying was surprised, and Wang Xin explained, "This green bull has become a spirit, a different species. Ordinary fire cannot do anything to it. Only Master Li's true fire can roast it."

Every inch of the beef roasted by real fire is emitting spiritual energy and essence. The meat has been completely roasted by the real fire, and the essence of the meat has been locked in the meat by honey. The mouthful of it will leave a fragrant taste in your mouth, and heat will rise in your lower abdomen, covering your whole body with warmth.

The meat essence of this blue bull is full of spiritual energy. Except for Li Yang, even Chi Yanhong had to sit cross-legged in meditation to digest the energy.

Li Yang ate with relish. When he was in high spirits, he took out the bronze lamp and used real fire to cook beef soup without any pot.

Half of the blue ox was directly stewed, and its huge body was finally condensed into a pot of soup.

The soup was thick and white. Yang Yingying sighed in despair, as it was simply not something her body could endure. Wang Xin and Zhu Ling could only taste it briefly. Zhao Ziyao scooped up a bowl and took a sip, and all her seven orifices burst into brilliant light.

Li Yang drank almost all the soup by himself, and the powerful spiritual energy directly promoted the breathing method for more than ten cycles.

Li Yang's eyes lit up. This was a good business. Capturing these rare animals according to the spiritual divination map would be of great benefit to his spiritual practice.

After having a good meal and a few drinks, it was exactly seven o'clock, and they packed up and prepared to attend the "Vanxiang Evening Party" in Qingcheng Mountain.

The storage ring did not have the function of preserving food, so Li Yang swung his sword and cut an ice cellar on the mountainside with the remaining beef, and froze the beef inside.

Wang Xin accompanied his cousin in Baiyun Mountain, while Li Yang took the other three people and flew up on their swords, rushing towards Qingcheng Mountain in a flash of light.

The venue for this 'Vientiane Evening Party' was set at Tianshi Cave.

Although Tianshi Cave is called a cave, it is the largest Taoist temple on Mount Qingcheng. The huge and ancient building complex is located halfway up the front mountain of Mount Qingcheng.

It is surrounded by the Qingcheng Peaks and is the place where Zhang Daoling, the founder of Taoism, practiced Taoism and ascended to heaven. The building complex covers an area of ​​about 7200 square meters. The main buildings include the mountain gate, Sanqing Hall and Huangdi Hall.

The venue for the evening party was set at the Yellow Emperor Temple.

This group of old Taoist priests obviously attach great importance to the traditional cultural festival of the Spring Festival. Hundreds of sects gather on Mount Qingcheng, and almost every sect has its own traditional customs, such as worshiping Tai Sui, kowtowing to the wind direction, and offering tributes. It is a scene of blooming flowers, and the Qingcheng Mountain, which is famous for its profoundness, is illuminated all over the mountain in red.

The day was bustling with people lowering their interest rates. At this time, the Yellow Emperor Hall in Tianshi Cave began to be brightly lit, and the wide space in the hall had been cleared out by Taoist children.

A high platform was erected in the center of the hall, with seats arranged around it. In front of the platform were ten rosewood chairs, corresponding to the eight innates, one seed Taoist, and the official Mr. Xie who came to attend the meeting.

The rest were seventy-eight ancient wooden chairs, arranged in pairs, representing the seventy-eight awakened spirits who attended the meeting.

The rest are nearly a thousand wooden chairs, and all Taoist priests, officers and soldiers on the mountain can come to attend the meeting.

There is a small wooden table between every two tables, on which are placed fruits and snacks, many of which are newly discovered spiritual objects during this spiritual energy exploration.

Although it was a party held in Baiyun Mountain and Qingcheng Mountain, and it was said to be a lively event behind closed doors, the people who were in charge of arranging this grand spiritual practice event naturally did not dare to neglect it. It happened that Mr. Xie was conducting a public opinion survey on the return of people from Shuchuan, and he was also invited.

The venue was set up, and two clever and loud Taoist children at the entrance of the Yellow Emperor Hall began to call out the names:
"Master Huang Yisheng of the Qingwei Zhengyi Sect has arrived!"

"Master Chen Xiyan from the Maoshan Shangqing Sect has arrived!"

"Master Zheng Zhaoyuan of the Lingbao Yuqing Sect has arrived!

"Master Wu Peng of the Beidi Tianpeng Sect has arrived!"

……

The Taoists who entered the hall took their seats according to their name tags, took a short rest, and talked to people around them if they had nothing to do.

After chatting for a while, the hall gradually became lively. The leaders of various factions had basically arrived and were paying each other a visit.

These old Taoists usually practice asceticism and live in seclusion in the assigned Taoist temples on Mount Qingcheng. It is rare for them to gather together for such a large event, so they all want to get in touch with each other and get to know each other.

There weren't many waiters and photographers at the venue, so it was quite simple.

Compared with the first Luotian Grand Ceremony, the Quanzhen and Zhengyi sects have basically gotten used to each other on the mountain, and it has become a common occurrence for them to discuss scriptures and the Dharma with each other.

However, looking at the ranking ratio of the Xiantian and Qiling factions, it can be seen that during the nearly one and a half years of training in Qingcheng Mountain, the Zhengyi faction has performed much better than the Quanzhen faction.

Almost all the Zhengyi sects are output sects, especially the three talisman sects. Things like drawing talismans to invite gods and summoning spirits are all real means of output. During this period, with the revival of spiritual energy, many monsters and ghosts have emerged. Most of the minor supernatural things reported from various places are suppressed by this group of Taoists.

The Quanzhen Taoist lineage is basically all about theory. Since Wang Chongyang advocated the unity of the three religions, their principles have been to cultivate oneself, observe precepts, and save the world.

These are very good citizens, and are helpful to the court's education, but they are also mixed with many theories and doctrines imposed by later rulers.

It looked impressive and had its own system, but it didn't produce anything at all. This group of old Taoist priests spent several months just trying to figure out whether their own classics were far-fetched fabrications by later generations or whether there were some real magic methods.

When the leaders of various sects had almost arrived, the leaders of the Taoist Alliance Qi Qianshu and Xie Lao took their seats one after another.

In a moment, a sword light fell on the top of Qingcheng Mountain.

"Master Li Yang from Baiyun Mountain has arrived!"

"Master Chi Yanhong from Baiyun Mountain has arrived!"

"Zhao Ziyao from Baiyun Mountain, monk Zhu Ling has arrived!"

Li Yang entered the hall and saw Taoists from various sects crowded around. The hall was decorated with carvings and fine beige lacquer. The architecture was very magnificent, and he felt inexplicably excited.

The leaders of all sects, regardless of their level of cultivation, greeted each other in turn. When they saw Master Xie from afar, they nodded and smiled at each other.

He waved his Taoist robe, and the hall immediately became chaotic. Then he sat in the main seat without hesitation.

Chi Yanhong, Zhao Ziyao, and Zhu Ling were ranked behind Li Yang.

At Qi Ling's position, a girl with a Tai Chi bun on her head stared at Li Yang without blinking, with nervousness and surprise evident on her face.

Thus, the first large-scale event in the spiritual world, the “Vanxiang Evening Party”, was officially launched.
