This Taoist Master is too Frivolous

Chapter 517: Chapter 370: Xu Yang’s Strength!

The monster core above emitted a gentle glow, and it seemed as if a small snake was swimming inside it.

“Monster Core!”

“So monsters actually have monster cores? Xiao Miao, do you have a monster core?”

“I… I only formed my core a few years ago… My core isn’t this big.”

“My lord, where did you get this monster core?”

When Xu Yang took out the monster core, the women were all astonished, and they immediately stood up. Even Long Xiaoxue sprung out from the artificial lake at the side with a splash.

She glanced at the monster core in Xu Yang’s hand and commented, “A Snake Demon’s monster core? Probably from the late stage Demon King Realm… Its strength is average, but the energy contained within is quite rich. It seems that this Snake Demon was instantly killed and didn’t even have time to self-destruct its monster core.”

She then looked at Xu Yang and asked, “Where did you get this monster core?”

Xu Yang answered truthfully, “It came from slaying a demon.”

Obviously, Long Xiaoxue didn’t believe him, and she walked out of the lake.

She was wearing a black swimsuit that perfectly showcased her sexy figure. Flicking the water droplets off her hair, she lay contentedly on a nearby lounge chair, bathing in the sun. She said, “You are only at the late stage of the Spirit Refining Realm. Despite being both a martial and Daoist practitioner, possessing a pure Yang primordial spirit, and wielding an immortal artifact, you are stronger than an ordinary Daoist True Monarch. However, to instantly kill a late-stage Demon King Realm monster… You’re still a bit lacking, aren’t you?”

“After all, you haven’t truly reached the realm of Divine Master yet. You still have a long way to go in terms of cultivation and understanding of the Dao.”

As a flood dragon, she possessed a “bloodline inheritance” and was naturally knowledgeable. She had also followed Heavenly Master Xu in exterminating water disasters and water demons, so she had some understanding of the Daoist’s cultivation.

The thing was…

Being in the late stage of the Demon King Realm meant she was only one level below her own.

Although she was a “dragon” and her combat prowess was incomparable to that of an ordinary Demon King, if Xu Yang could instantly kill an ordinary late-stage Demon King… Wouldn’t that mean he now possessed the strength to fight her?

Moreover…

Once he truly reached the stage of Divine Master, wouldn’t she end up losing to him in a fight?

This thought made Long Xiaoxue extremely annoyed!

Damn it!

She, a proud dragon, was bullied by Xu Yang in bed, and now even in a fight, she might lose to him?

In the face of Long Xiaoxue’s doubts, Xu Yang just smiled and said, “Perhaps it’s because I have cultivated many divine powers, so… My cultivation level is a bit stronger than the average late-stage Spirit Refining Realm, which has narrowed the gap between me and the Demon King?”

Pfft!

Long Xiaoxue couldn’t help but laugh, saying, “I witnessed your divine power cultivation. Even though you have subsequently cultivated several other paths and gained some heaven-given divine powers… How long has it been since you stepped into the Divine Transcendence Realm?”

“Even if you were a genius and could master a divine power in just a dozen days, how many could you have mastered?”

Xu Yang: “???”

Are you called a genius if you can master a divine power in a dozen days?

However, he didn’t disclose the exact number of divine powers he had mastered… After all, it felt a bit showy to do so under the circumstances.

As for the monster core…

After a discussion amongst the women, the monster core was ultimately given to Xiao Yu!

The monster core, the life essence of a powerful monster, contained the most pure demonic power, and even some understandings of demonic techniques. It was not only useful to monsters.

Ghosts could also refine the monster core for their benefit, and so could humans.

One could directly refine it or have someone refine it into a pill. Either way, it had great replenishing effects.

But as it stood, only Xiao Yu’s refinement could maximize its effectiveness!

Xiao Yu had received a demonic immortal inheritance. She was nearing the “Demon King” realm in her cultivation, and with the help of this monster core, she could potentially reach the “Demon King” Realm!

With this, Xu Yang’s wives would gain another top-tier combatant, aside from Yue Niang and Long Xiaoxue!

If you also counted Xu Yang, the newly subdued Niu Mang, and the old man Xu Zhiyuan, who had already refined the City God’s decree, that would make six “Land Immortals”!

With this kind of power throughout the martial world of Da Xia, they could certainly walk unhindered!

Besides, Xu Yang also controlled two Ghost Markets of Xi Xia and Fengdu City, and under his command were nine Ghost Immortals, countless underworld soldiers…and a strong backer, Emperor Beiyin of Fengdu.

When Xiao Yu received the monster core, she didn’t show excitement but instead expressed her worries, “Sir, why don’t you give this monster core to little sis Xiao Miao? I’m afraid I won’t be able to reach the Demon King Realm even after refining it.”

“That’s alright.”

Xu Yang patted Xiao Yu’s head, laughing, “If one monster core isn’t enough, I can get you another one. The mortal world has revived three times last night, with many powerful demons, evildoers, dormant ghost immortals, and various masters returning. There’s no shortage of cultivation resources.”

Hearing this, Xiao Yu heaved a sigh of relief and said, “If that’s the case, I will retreat now to refine the monster core and attack the Demon King Realm.”

Inside the “Xu Manor”, there was a specially built “secret chamber”.

Xiao Yu held the monster core and went straight to the secret chamber.

“Husband hasn’t eaten yet, right?”

Liu Shishi said, “Husband, what do you want to eat? I’ll make it for you.”

“Just make anything.”

Xu Yang said, “After lunch, there is a press conference in the afternoon…”

Liu Shishi, Yang Yin, Yun Mengxi all went to the kitchen. Xu Yang turned to Yue Qiluo and said, “Right, wife, assign a ghost to go to Wu City and invite the Nine Ghost Immortals over.”

Yue Qiluo called a beautiful red-dressed female ghost and gave her the command.

The female ghost accepted the command and, with a “whoosh”, turned into a streak of red light and flew out of Xu Manor.

About half an hour later.

Lunch was ready.

Xu Yang and his wives were sitting in the pavilion. Just as they started eating, the Nine Ghost Immortals, led by the red-dressed female ghost, arrived in the backyard.

The Nine Ghost Immortals knelt down on one knee and said in unison, “Greetings, master!”

“You nine generals don’t need to be formal, stand up,”

Xu Yang took a piece of meat and put it into his mouth, asking, “Have you had lunch? Would you like to eat something together?”

This was a courtesy remark.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

The Nine Ghost Immortals were not stupid enough to actually come over and dine together.

They were now “servants”; there was no reason for the servants to sit at the same table with their master and his family.

“Reply to master, we have eaten.”

Said Ghost Immortal “A Da”.

Xu Yang was just being polite and did not dwell on the “have you eaten” topic. He said, “You must all have sensed the changes in the human world… I invited you all here today because I want to ask you to help guard the Northwest.”

“For the five provinces in the Northwest, excluding Xi Xia Province, you can divide the remaining four provinces as needed. I will let Black and White Impermanence and Minister Wang know and have their ghost officials and intelligence department cooperate with you.”

“Once you find demons causing harm to the human world, kill without impunity!”

All the Nine Ghost Immortals acknowledged in agreement.

Xu Yang continued, “Go, if this task is accomplished, it will be a great merit. I will report your merits to the Underworld, and when you return to the Underworld, you can work there and enjoy the salary of the Underworld.”

“Or I can request a decree for you from the Yin deity to stay in the human world and enjoy the power of faith from incense.”

The Nine Ghost Immortal heaved a sigh of relief. They all brimmed with excitement, pledged their commitment to defending the five provinces of the Northwest, and then left.

After lunch.

Xu Yang hadn’t had a chance to return to Wu City when he received a call from the Public Security Bureau.

The caller was a female police officer who introduced herself as a police officer from the Wu City Bureau. She sounded very excited, saying, “Is this Director Xu Yang? I am a police officer at the Wu City Bureau, my badge number is *******”

Xu Yang frowned.

Since she could say “Director Xu,” it meant the caller was not a swindler.

A swindler…

Would not dare to scam him, but why would a city bureau officer call him?

So, he asked, “Hello, Officer… Why are you calling me… has something happened?”

The female officer explained, “Director Xu, this is what happened… someone reported that a crazy bull was seen roaming the streets of Wu City… The bull can speak human language and it claims its name is ‘Hooligan’ and that it is your mount.”

“???”

Hooligan?

You mean Niu Mang, right?

Xu Yang remembered Niu Mang and Ma Long leaving the villa area arm in arm. He quickly replied, “I see, I’ll be back to Wu City immediately.”

He flew out of Xu Manor, turned into a beam of sword light and shot straight to Wu City.

Before he arrived, his divine consciousness had already enveloped the entire Wu City.

And he found that…

Niu Mang was standing on his hind legs, running wildly all over the streets, and along with him was a heavily drunk Ma Long…
