This Taoist Master is too Frivolous

But sneaking into the room was a bit too much!

Xu Yang raised his eyebrows, gently held Yang Yin, patted her back to comfort her for a moment, then let go and asked, “Who has snuck into the room?”

At this moment, Yang Yin calmed down.

She shook her head and said, “I don’t know their identities, but I can draw their pictures.”

“Oh?”

Xu Yang was surprised and puzzled, “You can draw?”

Yang Yin said, “I studied arts overseas, and my father also hired many famous teachers for me in China.”

Xu Yang immediately bought some paper and asked Yang Yin to draw.

With a brush, Yang Yin quickly drew three portrait-like pictures.

The first one was a big bearded man, Xu Yang recognized him at a glance… wasn’t it the “Shandong Little Likui” from the next room?

The second portrait was of an old man dressed in a flashy manner.

Xu Yang also remembered this old man who had performed a magic show called “Snowfall on a Clear June Day” on the street. He had also met him at the entrance of the guest house, and he had a granddaughter who was part of the martial world.

The third person was a man dressed in a Daoist robe.

To Xu Yang’s surprise… it was Master Huang from Yuanxuan Daoist Temple.

“Master Huang?”

“I have no grudges with him, so why did he come to my room?”

Xu Yang pointed at the portrait of “Master Huang” and asked, “What did he do after entering the room?”

Yang Yin shook her head and said, “This Daoist has strong abilities. I was afraid he would find out, so I didn’t dare to watch him too closely… Oh, there was also a fourth person who entered the room. Judging by the figure, it should be a woman, but she was wearing a fox mask, so I couldn’t see her face clearly.”

Xu Yang’s eyes flickered.

His first thought was the killers of the Asura Sect.

However, he couldn’t be sure.

After all, Lu Shan Sect had been warned by Zhou Jie not to resort to dirty tricks, which naturally included not using killers from the Asura Sect… but Asura Sect has its own rules: once they accept a job, they won’t stop until they kill the

target!

“Maybe, for the sake of their rules, Asura Sect might carry out continuous assassination attempts on me.”

“Right!”

“Didn’t that Lu Shan Sect disciple named Li Dong or something say before he died that Asura Sect had the support of Lu Shan Sect behind them? If that s the case, can’t Lu Shan Sect influence the thoughts of the Asura Sect?”

“Or perhaps…”

“The Asura Sect’s power is more complicated than I thought?

Xu Yang’s thoughts flashed through his mind, “But it doesn’t matter… I’ll kill one if they come, I’ll kill a pair if a pair comes… After all, the ghosts of the Asura Sect killers can turn into angry ghosts after being killed, and that’s a big income.”

After becoming a Daoist, Xu Yang’s confidence skyrocketed.

Especially since he now knows Yun Mengxi’s “weakness,” if he insists on telling Yun Mengxi ghost stories every day, it won’t be long before he can elevate his Daoist skills and cultivation to an exaggerated level!

He might even use his “constitution” to transform his physical body and possibly reach the level of a martial arts Grandmaster.

He immediately took the four women out of the guesthouse and visited the night market again.

It wasn’t until midnight that Xu Yang returned to the guesthouse room. Yue Yuluo suggested that they take a count of Liu Shishi’s burial items.

Yun Mengxi and Yang Yin immediately agreed.

Xu Yang looked at Liu Shishi with an inquiring gaze, and Liu Shishi blushed and said, “It’s good to count… after all, these things are my dowry, and they will be yours in the future!”

Xu Yang happily took out three boxes and opened them one by one.

Suddenly, the room was filled with golden light and dazzling treasures, and the first box was neatly filled with gold. Xu Yang weighed the gold and found that it weighed at least 1000 kg, excluding the weight of the box itself!

The second box contained some jewelry and precious gems.

Things like jade bracelets, gold bracelets, gold hairpins, jade bead necklaces, and so on, there were as many as half a box of them. Apart from the value of gold, silver and jade itself, these items were also considered antiques. Just based on the price alone, Xu Yang estimated that they were worth more than the box of gold!

The items in the third box were somewhat simpler, just some antique calligraphy and paintings.

Liu Shishi said, “These antiques and paintings are treasures that my grandpa collected. They are said to be ancient relics and quite valuable… I don’t know why, but after I died, my grandpa and father buried me with all these gold, silver, and calligraphy paintings.”

Xu Yang’s eyes lit up.

Liu Shishi…

She was from the early Ming Dynasty!

Her family was a scholarly family, or to put it bluntly, a “prominent family” of that time. Her father was an official with a rank equivalent to the fourth grade. The items considered “antiques” by their family were undoubtedly valuable, especially after being transported to modern times.

As for why her father and grandpa buried her with these things…

Xu Yang had a faint suspicion in his heart.

Could it be that they were afraid of being raided, so they hid these things in the tomb?

As for why they didn’t dig them out later…

Most likely, their family was indeed raided.

And these items became the “ones that got away”.

Xu Yang asked, “Shishi, these things are probably worth a lot of money. If you sell them through the right channels, you might even make tens of billions, or even a hundred billion… What do you plan to do with them?”

Liu Shishi replied, “Since they are my dowry, it’s up to you to decide!” “Let’s just keep them for now, and I’ll find someone to appraise them later.” Xu Yang happily collected the three boxes of treasures, and then wanted to tell ghost stories to Yun Mengxi… But Yun Mengxi was playing poker with Liu Shishi, Yue Yuluo, and Yang Yin, and even asked Xu Yang to join.

“How can so many people play poker?”

Xu Yang refused, saying, “I’m going to practice drawing talismans…”

Now that he had entered the Dao, the talismans he drew were more powerful than before, and he could make new batches of Diamond Talismans, divine strength talismans, and Movement Talismans.

In addition to these talismans, Xu Yang could now make a few new ones as well.

One of them was the “Suppress Evil and Break Malevolent Energies Talisman”.

Another was the “Wulei Talisman”.

The “Suppress Evil and Break Malevolent Energies Talisman” was more difficult to make, and Xu Yang only succeeded after more than a dozen attempts. The “Wulei Talisman,” on the other hand, was even harder to make, as only those who had mastered the rules of Thunder could draw it!

During the process of making the talisman, one had to blend their own understanding and Daoist rhymes of the rules of the Thunderbolt into the talisman while also incorporating the power of the Thunderbolt. Only then could it unleash greater power when activated.

Xu Yang tried three or four dozen times, but he couldn’t even draw one “Wulei Talisman”.

The process of making talismans required one to finish in one go.

Even the slightest anomaly along the way could result in the failure of making the talisman.

Xu Yang’s control of power would always be an issue when he was in the middle of making a talisman… Also, it seemed that the “yellow paper” he was using was of inferior quality and could not withstand the power of the “Wulei

Talisman”.

On several occasions, the talisman paper looked like it was about to succeed, but it burst apart at the last moment when he lifted his brush.

“It seems that besides improving my control of power, I need to find better quality talisman paper…”

Xu Yang stopped trying to draw Wulei Talismans and focused on drawing Diamond Talismans, Movement Talismans, divine strength talismans, and Suppress Evil and Break Malevolent Energies Talismans. He drew more than eight hundred talismans in one sitting until daybreak, and out of boredom, also made dozens of Invisibility Talismans, Heavenly Eye Talismans, and Wall-penetrating talismans that he had learned at the Zongsheng Palace.

The third assessment of the Daoist Contest didn’t begin until to PM. Luckily, there was nothing to do during the day, so Xu Yang took the four girls out for a stroll in the morning, and drove them around for sightseeing in the afternoon. When he returned to the inn at night and settled the girls, he hailed a taxi and arrived at Zongsheng Palace at the appointed time. At the entrance of the palace, there were two buses parked, filled with Daoist disciples participating in the Daoist Contest.

“Master Xu, we’ve been waiting for you!”

As soon as Xu Yang arrived at the Zongsheng Palace, Master Huang from the “Yuanxuan Daoist Temple” greeted him and said, “Hurry up and get on the bus. The third assessment of our Daoist Contest is ghost hunting… We’ll explain the specific rules on the bus.”

PS: The third update is here, a 4000-word big chapter. I will take a short break and then continue writing the fourth update. The fourth update will be late, so everyone, please come back tomorrow!
