Controlling the Five Thunders and the Two Worlds

Chapter 103: The Art of Gathering Spirits
Seeing Taoist Master Yihong raise the copper stick in his hand, and the magic power and spiritual energy gathered on the stick, forming a small vortex at the tip of the stick, the big man's expression changed drastically, and his eyes turned blood red in an instant.

The next moment, the big man's body grew three times bigger again, breaking through the black vest, and in the blink of an eye he turned into a black bear more than three meters tall, and then slapped Taoist Yihong.

Taoist Master Yihong turned his copper stick and slapped the black bear on the paw.

"boom!"

With a loud bang, the black bear's paws were covered in blood, but the entire bear body also crawled out from the ground, spread its arms, opened its bloody mouth, and pounced on Taoist Yihong.

Taoist Master Yihong flew back and swung his stick at the black bear's head, knocking it aside.

After just two moves, Taoist Master Yihong knew what was going on.

No wonder the big man didn't transform to fight the enemy. Although his strength was three times greater than that of a human after he turned into a black bear, his flexibility and coordination were worse than that of a human, and he couldn't even hold a weapon.

Strictly speaking, although it looks more brave and explosive after turning into its original form, it may be suitable for the battlefield, but it is not suitable for single combat, and its overall combat effectiveness may be even lower than that of the human form.

This is also the reason why the three monsters fought in human form just now.

At this moment, a yellow afterimage came over. It turned out to be the yellow-haired man who had just been knocked away. He turned back into a golden leopard and rushed over with a gust of fishy wind. "Second Young Master, hurry up!"

Seeing Taoist Master Yihong sweeping the copper stick towards it, the leopard ducked its body to avoid the wind from the stick and was about to bite Taoist Master Yihong's leg, but Taoist Master Yihong turned downwards and the tip of the stick hit the leopard's waist.

"Oh!"

The leopard was knocked to the ground by a stick, and then Taoist Yihong used the force to turn and swept the black bear's face again.

Taoist Master Yihong used all his magical powers, and the fight became smoother and stronger. His fighting power was three times stronger than before. As a result, the black bear had almost no power to fight back.

"Stop!" the black bear howled. "If you dare to kill me, my father will not let you go!"

Taoist Master Yihong's staff tipped three inches above the black bear's head. "What is your father's level of cultivation?"

Black Bear's eyes lit up, sensing a chance, "My father has five hundred years of Taoist practice, profound magical powers, and immense strength. Aside from the Golden Wind God King, no one in Changping Prefecture can rival my father!
Besides my father, I also have two uncles who have also cultivated for three or four hundred years. They are known as the Three Wonders and are feared by the people of Changping Prefecture!"

Taoist Yihong turned around and looked at Gu Zhao, who nodded. "As long as they don't come together, it's just a fueling tactic."

After killing the ancestor Bi'ang, Gu Zhao and Taoist Yansong took another step forward. Now they had Taoist Yihong as a new force joining in. Except for the Golden Wind God King who could fly and hide in the ground, they all had the strength to surround and kill him.

As long as there is no qualitative difference in their cultivation and the talismans can cause effective damage to the opponent, they are confident of victory.

After hearing what Gu Zhao said, Taoist Yihong struck twice with his copper stick without hesitation.

A black bear, a leopard, and a gray wolf.

Taoist Master Yihong also felt the evil spirit arriving and the pleasure of his cultivation rapidly increasing. He felt refreshed and full of energy, and he couldn't wait to find a few more harmful monsters.

I have to say, diligence can make up for lack of talent and plug-ins like progress bars are indeed very human!

After killing the three monsters, Taoist Yihong looked up and saw hundreds of bandits huddled at the entrance of the stronghold, shivering and looking at him and his companions fearfully.

Taoist Master Yihong smiled, and hundreds of bandits shouted and retreated back to the stronghold.

……

The next thing is simple. Enter the mountain stronghold and recruit the bandits. At the same time, I learned that this is just a gathering place for bandits who can fight. There are many other strongholds in Cuiluo Mountain, and there are also the elderly, weak, women and children in the strongholds.

So Taoist Master Yihong took charge and identified those who had committed many crimes and were vicious by nature. They had their martial arts skills stripped away and were escorted to Xiu Yue County. The rest were given some money to send home.

Finally, there were some people who had nowhere to go, so they were taken back to Cuishan Village to help build the Daluo Palace. Later, they served as the Taoist fire workers of the Daluo Palace, responsible for washing clothes, cooking, guarding the house and sweeping the floor.

After learning that the Cui Luo Mountain incident was committed by a mage, the Xiu Yue County government did not interfere. It did not ask any unnecessary questions, accepted the bandits, and simply reported to the court to receive rewards.

A few days later, all the above matters were dealt with, and everyone gathered in the courtyard again to have a leisurely meal and discuss some business matters.

"That black bear is the second son of the King of Sanjue Mountain. He was sent by his father to Cuiluo Mountain to recruit soldiers."

Taoist Master Yihong said, "A short-term disappearance might be okay, but if there's no news for a long time, Sanjue Mountain will definitely send people to investigate. Daluo Palace is right at the foot of Cuiluo Mountain, so it's bound to be suspected and retaliated against."

Taoist Master Yansong smiled and continued, "Come one, kill one, come two, kill a pair."

Sanjue Mountain has been operating in Changping Prefecture for dozens or even hundreds of years. In addition to the Three Jues, there are also many small demons and monsters, and defensive traps. They are few in number, so it is not easy to get close to them.

But if the other party comes to Cuiluo Mountain alone, they are not afraid. With the sound transmission in the sea of ​​consciousness, they can travel back at any time and keep all the attacking enemies away.

As long as one more person is left, Sanjue Mountain will no longer be a threat. As long as one of them breaks through 500 years of cultivation, it will be time to take down the Golden Wind Sect.

"Speaking of which, do we also need to decorate our Daluo Palace?"

Taoist Master Yansong pointed to the Daluo Palace in the back mountain and asked Gu Zhaodao, "Don't online novels always have some kind of mountain protection formation? Then when Ancestor Biang refined the Yuanzhu, he also set up restrictions."

Gu Zhao spread his hands, expressing his helplessness, "There's no information on setting up formations in the scriptures I studied. Do you have any?"

Taoist Master Yansong and Taoist Master Yihong looked at each other in bewilderment. Of course, this was not included in the scriptures they had studied.

"Zhengyi Dao has more miscellaneous teachings than Quanzhen Dao. Can we use some talismans and spells?" Taoist Master Yihong asked, "For example, the Five Thunder Talisman or the Shangqing Great Forbidden Dragon Binding Talisman?"

Gu Zhao nodded and said, "Let me study it."

Zhuo Qingyan suddenly said, "I have never seen the Shangqing Great Forbidden Dragon Binding Talisman, but I got a Great Locking Dragon Talisman from the embroiderer before."

Everyone looked at Zhuo Qingyan.

"The Great Dragon Locking Talisman is made of spiritual energy and can create a cage in the void, but it's like water without a source, easily broken." Zhuo Qingyan said, "If it could be engraved on gold or stone, and supplemented with spiritual energy gathering techniques, wouldn't it be a magical instrument?"

Gu Zhao couldn't help but ask, "Do you know how to gather spirits?"

Zhuo Qingyan nodded and said softly, "I've been trapped in my old house for over thirty years, not going out. Since I need to cultivate my Yin Qi, I've come across a spirit gathering technique. It may not be very powerful, but it's useful to me."

Taoist Master Yansong laughed and said, "You've been trapped in your old home for thirty years, so you've already practiced Taoism for over a hundred years. The yin energy from the Zhuo family compound can even drift outside the alley during the day, which shows how extraordinary this spirit gathering technique is."

Gu Zhao rubbed his hands, "Can you teach me?"

Gu Zhao was not polite, but Zhuo Qingyan was happy. She nodded slightly and smiled, "Of course."
