Controlling the Five Thunders and the Two Worlds

Chapter 82 Handling Ingredients
"Finally done!" Gu Zhao put down the mountain thunder talisman in his hand.

The embroiderer dispersed the Dragon Locking Talisman, and Bai Ke jumped over in two steps, exclaiming with emotion, "It's so big!"

"Not only is it huge, it's also incredibly nutritious!" Taoist Master Yansong waved his hand to remove his mask. Although he looked a little tired, he enthusiastically introduced it, "This thing replenishes Qi and blood, nourishes Yin and strengthens Yang, beautifies the complexion, and strengthens the kidneys and bones. It's a first-rate, excellent thing!"

Zhuo Qingyan had just put away the jade flute and was walking over. Upon hearing this, she paused, glanced at Taoist Yansong, and then glanced at Gu Zhao vaguely.

"The fight was so intense just now. Are you and your uncle injured?" The embroiderer came over and asked.

"It's okay." Gu Zhao waved his hand. "The first attack was strong, the second was weak, and the third was exhausted. He didn't hurt us in his first charge, so he didn't have a chance again."

Just now, Patriarch Bian rushed to the top of the mountain, and Taoist Yansong and Gu Zhao intercepted and restrained him on the left and right.

Taoist Master Yansong was full of true energy and his sword energy was surging. Gu Zhao used the Wind Thunder Talisman and the Mountain Thunder Talisman to stop the charge of Patriarch Bian, slowing down his pace. It also gave Zhuo Qingyan and embroiderer Bai Ke a chance to move around and avoid being hurt by him.

"Withdrawing from the blood sacrifice will indeed backfire." Gu Zhao picked up the Yuanzhu that rolled to his feet.

Just now, when Ancestor Bian was fighting with them, although his attack and defense were very powerful, they were not too amazing. Until later, he forcibly severed the connection between himself and Lao Ao Yuanzhu. Although he was injured by the backlash, his strength increased by another three points.

But these three points were gained by injuries and weakening. In addition, Gu Zhao had many powerful talismans and thunder magic, and Taoist Yansong had a strong and pure true energy of the Tao. Although Patriarch Bian had a high level of Taoism, he was ultimately unable to pose a threat to the two of them, and finally had to die on the spot.

……

There was quite a lot of noise in the fight just now. Gu Zhao picked up the Yuanzhu, and then he and Taoist Yansong carried the old turtle's body together. They quickly left Crescent Bay and rushed back to Anlin Town.

Instead of returning to the inn, they started to process the food in the wild forest.

First, remove the two-meter-long turtle shell.

Gu Zhao exclaimed in admiration, "This tortoise shell is truly a treasure. It took all those Mountain Thunder Talismans I threw at it, but only a few scratches were left on it. It even withstood two Thunder Repelling Curses without breaking its defense. It's simply outrageous!"

Although there are shallow pits and scratches on the surface of the turtle shell, they are not a big deal compared to the thickness of the turtle shell. This shows how strong the defense of the turtle shell of Ancestor Bian is.

"Go back and study it. This thing can be used to refine magic weapons." Gu Zhao said.

Taoist Master Yansong nodded and said, "You can eat the rest."

"There's too much. We can't finish it. We can't finish it at all." The embroiderer said with a bitter face, "It will go bad."

Bai Ke licked her lips and said, "Pickled and air-dried, it can be kept for a long time."

Zhuo Qingyan thought for a moment and said, "I can condense water into ice and store it in the cellar."

The embroiderer was a little unwilling, "Are we going home now?"

Although they were traveling on their way, their real business was to eliminate evil and accumulate merit in Wuhe County. However, they had been out for less than two days and had not even entered the city gate of Wuhe County when they killed the ancestor of the Biang Palace, one of the four major forces in Changping Prefecture. This speed was too fast.

I just set out from Cuishan Village yesterday morning, met Liu Qingfeng on the way, and arrived at Anlin Town in the evening and met Commander Bixing. Now it’s only the next morning!
Gu Zhao thought for a moment and said, "We still have to go to Wuhe County. After all, we are already here."

Although the five commanders of the Biang Palace and the Biang Patriarch have contributed a lot of evil spirits to the Five Thunder Order, there is no such thing as too much money, and there must still be a group of unscrupulous demons and monsters in Wuhe County.

If we can condense new thunder seeds as soon as possible, we can also find some new Taoist priests to help.

And judging from the strength of Patriarch Bian, the Golden Wind God King must be even more powerful. Fortunately, I didn't get carried away that day.

"What should we do with all this?" asked the embroiderer. "Cut it into large pieces," said Gu Zhao. "Have Qingyan freeze it and put it under the carriage. Then put it in the cellar when we get home. We'll have a meal today!"

Bai Ke nodded repeatedly, "Okay, okay!"

……

After a while, the aroma of the thick soup wafted into the air.

"The embroiderer's craftsmanship is really something!" Taoist Master Yansong gave a thumbs up.

After drinking some turtle soup, the embroiderer felt a warm current flowing from her mouth to her stomach, and then from her stomach to her tendons, bones, blood, limbs and bones, making her whole body warm.

"It's mainly because the seasonings you gave me are good, otherwise it wouldn't be so fragrant." The embroiderer said with a smile.

Gu Zhao ruffled the embroiderer's hair and said, "Be humble. Even if the seasoning is good, it depends on who makes it. Ordinary people can't make it so delicious."

"Hehe!" The embroiderer smiled playfully, "If you like it, eat more!"

"Slurp..." Bai Ke beside him was eating heartily.

Zhuo Qingyan sipped the soup, using the spiritual energy in it to nourish her ghost body, and felt a sense of comfort. "The embroiderer's skills are really good."

The few of them processed the ingredients first, then returned to Anlin Town to get a carriage. They put the meat and shells together in a secret box under the carriage, and then left the town to set up a pot to cook. Although some travelers passed by on the way, no one came forward to ask questions.

After lunch, we continued on our way and soon arrived in Wuhe County.

Compared with the prosperity of Xiu Yue County, Wuhe County is slightly inferior, but it is still a large county town within a radius of 100 miles. There is also a Changshui River flowing through the east of the city, so it still has the necessary atmosphere of fireworks.

However, people have been dying in the county town and its subordinate townships over the past ten days, casting a shadow over the entire Wuhe County. Although it cannot be said that people are in panic, the atmosphere is somewhat heavy.

"Don't be afraid. Don't go playing by the river recently. I heard from General Lu of the Golden Wind Sect that the Golden Wind God King has set up a demon-slaying formation on the banks of the Changshui River. He will be able to kill the river monster in ten days, and then you'll be safe."

"The Golden Wind God King has boundless magical power!"

"My sister and her family lived in Ping'an Town. They were fine the day before yesterday, but they died yesterday!"

"You should be thankful that your family is alright. We have the Golden Wind Hall in our county town, so the river monsters don't dare to enter the city to kill people. I heard that many people have died in the nearby villages and towns recently!"

A carriage slowly drove into Wuhe County, listening to the discussions of people around.

"Good fellow, he's really good at fooling people!" Gu Zhao said with a sigh, "He even set up a killing array and slew the demons in ten days. Ten days later, Ancestor Bian completed the refining of the Yuanzhu."

At this moment, a group of people rushed into the county town, whistling and shouting, "The river monster is dead! The river monster is dead!"

"What's going on? Why did the river monster die?" Someone grabbed the other person and said, "Didn't General Lu say that the demon-slaying formation would take ten days to take effect?"

"I don't know either!" The visitor shook his head hurriedly. "But this morning, people in Liujia Village heard thunder in the clear sky over Crescent Bay. It lasted for half an hour before gradually dying down. Then, having mustered up the courage to go over and take a look, we discovered four dead river monsters on the riverbank!"

The man gestured, "There's a giant fish longer than a human, and a toad the size of a bathtub. It looks like it's been burned, half its body is charred!"
