Controlling the Five Thunders and the Two Worlds

Chapter 47 Funding Problem Solved

After listening to Gu Zhao's story, Taoist Yansong understood his own situation.

"This is a new world full of spiritual energy."

"This world still has a county system similar to the ancient centralized imperial system, but the power of the imperial court is currently declining."

"There are goblins and ghosts here, as well as human wizards. It's an extraordinary world."

"All the various methods we Taoists practice...concentrating the mind and refining qi, regulating the dragon and tiger internally, drawing talismans and chanting incantations, pinching fingers and walking in the astral path, can all be used?"

"Evil demons and monsters carry evil spirits with them. If we kill them and subdue the demons, we can eliminate evil and accumulate merit, absorb the evil spirit to improve our cultivation, and even condense new thunder seeds to help other fellow Taoists."

"Then what else is there to say?" Taoist Master Yansong immediately began to roll up his sleeves, "Roll up your sleeves and work hard!"

Gu Zhao was confused, "How come you are more radical than me?"

Taoist Master Yansong waved his sleeves and said, "This world is full of demons and monsters, ghosts and monsters are rampant, the imperial court is declining, and the people are suffering. This is a good opportunity for us to expand our territory and spread the glory of the Three Pure Ones and the majesty of the Jade Emperor throughout the world!"

Gu Zhao was speechless, "You really have watched too many domineering CEO short dramas..."

"But what you said makes sense." Gu Zhao changed his tone and said with a serious expression, "As disciples of the Three Pure Ones, it is our duty to spread the Taoist faith!"

The two foxes, one big and one small, smiled at each other, and everything was said without words.

Next, Gu Zhao and Taoist Yansong discussed their origins and titles when traveling in this world in the future.

First of all, their origins. They came from a hidden sect. Although Gu Zhao was young, he was the newly succeeded young leader and held a high status.

As for the title, Gu Zhao calls Taoist Yansong "Uncle Master", and Taoist Yansong calls Gu Zhao "Master", taking both status and seniority into consideration.

"I'll take you to the village to familiarize yourself with it first. I'll need to trouble you with something later." Gu Zhao took Taoist Yansong to the village.

"what's up?"

"I want to build a lumber mill in the village." Gu Zhao pointed around. "These are small-leaf red sandalwoods that are rarely seen on Blue Star. They can be worth a lot of money if we ship them back. The profit can also support our development here."

Taoist Master Yansong's eyes lit up. "In that case, why don't we build a Taoist temple here and use it as our base. Otherwise, we can't always go through the woods. It wouldn't be pretty if someone saw us."

"Use small-leaf red sandalwood?"

"The wood is red sandalwood, and the main structure is of course reinforced concrete!" Taoist Master Yansong chuckled, "This is in the mountains. It would be a shame if it was accidentally burned by a forest fire."

Gu Zhao raised his eyebrows and smiled, "I can see that you are not used to your current status. If there is a forest fire, you can use the rain spell!"

Taoist Priest Yansong, “…”

"I'm from the Quanzhen Sect. I'm familiar with the art of condensing the Three Flowers and Five Qi, and harmonizing the dragon and tiger's yin and yang. I haven't learned any of these spells or incantations!" Taoist Master Yansong said speechlessly. "Throughout history, those who performed rituals and prayed for rain and clear skies were mostly Taoists of the Zhengyi Sect."

Gu Zhao blinked, not having considered this, but it didn't matter. "With magical powers, learning these things shouldn't be easy, right?"

"I'll give it a try." Taoist Master Yansong nodded. "The Quanzhen Taoist priests travel the world and subdue demons and monsters entirely relying on their inner alchemy and true qi. They don't have the many methods of the Zhengyi Dao. Now in this strange world full of demons and monsters, we really need to learn more."

Speaking of this, Taoist Master Yansong was quite proud again, "But now all Taoist sects in the world are one family. In the past, I was able to control the dragon and tiger, and balance water and fire. I also learned some ancient Taoist secrets passed down in Qingcheng Mountain."

"What is it?" Gu Zhao asked.

Taoist Master Yansong sensed it and shook his head, saying, "I am not very powerful right now, and I don't know if it can be used. Let's try it together after some time when I am ready."

Then the two of them came to the mountain village chatting and laughing, and met Mr. He, He Xiu Niang and Bai Ke.

Even though he had heard about it from Gu Zhao, Taoist Master Yansong was still amazed when he saw the talking white fox.

However, the character setting still needs to be grasped. Taoist Yansong did not show any surprise, but simply said that he had learned that the leader had disappeared and had followed him all the way to find him. Bai Ke only then "knew" that Gu Zhao was actually the leader of a sect. However, considering that Gu Zhao's magical power seemed not strong, but he knew so many powerful spells and talismans, she did not doubt the truth of Taoist Yansong's words at all.

Mr. He was even more grateful. Fortunately, the old man came a little late and the embroiderer had already become Gu Zhao's maid. Otherwise, he was really worried that the old man would interfere.

But it doesn't matter now. Big shots like them keep their word and won't go back on their word.

The embroiderer was very happy. Someone from Gu Zhao's master's school had come. The old man was so old and must be very powerful. Gu Zhao's safety was guaranteed.

"Hehe, no wonder!" Seeing the embroiderer's eyes, the experienced Taoist Master Yansong instantly understood and laughed, "So you like the cultivation system."

"Don't talk nonsense!" Gu Zhao sternly retorted.

Taoist Master Yansong looked at Gu Zhao and asked, "You actually like them all?"

Gu Zhao fell silent, the sound was deafening.

Taoist Master Yansong: →_→

……

Taoist Master Yansong returned to Qingcheng Mountain, said a few words to Taishang Laojun Pavilion, then traveled through another world and lived in a mountain village.

There is no need to rush about the Taoist temple's affairs for the time being, but the matters of the sawmill can be arranged first. Taoist Master Yansong discussed with Mr. He to open up a piece of land in the woods behind the village, and ask the villagers to cut down the small-leaf red sandalwood in the mountains. After rough processing, it will be sent to the sawmill and settled by weight.

As the oldest and most prestigious person in the village, Mr. He agreed with confidence.

So in the next few days, the sawmill was built in full swing.

Gu Zhao also bid farewell to his grandparents and returned to Yangcheng. He used Taoist Yansong's savings and his own pocket money to exchange for a batch of silver, sent it back to the other world, and melted it into silver ingots.

As for the source of funds in the future...

"Dad?"

"what?"

"You come with me."

"What...what's going on?" Gu Qi was stunned. "So many small-leaf red sandalwoods? Where did you get them?"

"It was shipped in from abroad." Gu Zhao said seriously.

"Where are the customs declaration documents?" Gu Qi turned around.

"That depends on you." Gu Zhao said sincerely, "I can give you a 50% discount."

Gu Qi: ???
……

Gu Qi and Li Man are just ordinary people after all, and there are dangers in the other world after all.

So Gu Zhao did not tell the truth, but just pulled Taoist Yansong out and raised a big flag. With Taoist Yansong's testimony, Gu Qi believed that Gu Zhao did not meet a liar, but was a religious fellow of Taoist Yansong abroad.

So Gu Qi quickly set up an import and export trading company, handled customs declarations and paid taxes, all through formal channels, and finally paid the fees into the account provided by Taoist Yansong.

Win-win!

At this point, the funding problem has been solved.
