Lu Yang's Patent Fees

Yun Zhi was the most proficient Daoist in the world, not only because of her outstanding talent in Daoist magic, but also because of her diligent study of the classics in the Scripture Depository and her comprehension of all kinds of Daoist magic.

Logically speaking, even if she didn't know how to use worldly Law Technique, she should have at least heard of it.

Yun Zhi stared silently at the arm that was still spinning, recalling what she had seen and heard, but couldn't figure out what kind of Law Technique her junior brother was practicing.

She sighed softly, stepped forward, grabbed Lu Yang's wrist, and pulled him out of her grasp.

"Huff--Huff--Ugh--"

After Lu Yang came out, he was unsteady on his feet, seeing double images of people. He felt dizzy and his mind was foggy. He couldn't even stand steadily and was retching while leaning on the gnarled dragon tree.

During the Golden Core stage, one can avoid the dizziness caused by spinning by regulating the organs, but that requires training. Unlike Lu Yang, who started spinning wildly right away without even having time to adjust.

"A space formed in your palm? Are you learning a Law Technique Divine Ability similar to a Buddha Kingdom in your palm?" Yun Zhi noticed something amiss.

Lu Yang closed his eyes, steadied himself, and pressed his forehead against the tree, which made him feel much better.

"Yes, it was the fairy who taught me the Palm of Heaven technique. I've learned the basics."

Considering Lu Yang's learning ability, Yun Zhi roughly guessed what had just happened.

Mid-stage Golden Core, not bad. It seems my junior brother has been cultivating diligently while I was away.

Call--

Yun Zhi gently blew a breath towards Lu Yang, like a spring breeze caressing his face. Lu Yang immediately felt his mind clear and returned to normal.

"Senior Sister, you're back?"

"Um."

Lu Yang glared at the Immortal Fairy who was watching the spectacle in the spiritual space. "Look at my senior sister, she helped me escape the spin as soon as she came back. And look at you, you've been laughing for just as long as I've been spinning here!"

The immortal fairy turned her head away guiltily.

She initially wanted to stop Lu Yang, but then she saw Lu Yang spinning around and found it quite amusing, so she just watched the spectacle with envy.

"Go ask me about my patent fees!" How could Lu Yang easily let go of the Immortal Fairy and willingly allow her to possess him?

The immortal fairy tried to struggle, but she couldn't resist Lu Yang and was forced to possess him.

"Yun girl, have you finished asking about the Great Yu's Tribulation Transcendence stage?" the Immortal Fairy asked boldly, deciding to adopt a roundabout tactic.

"After asking, I gained some insights. Standing behind him is the second Grand Preceptor of the Great Yu Dynasty, whose exact cultivation level is unknown. The second Grand Preceptor asked him to test the power and influence of the Great Xia Dynasty's national fortune, which is why he sent two ancient Nascent Body Integration Realm to duel with the Governor of Qingzhou."

"If my junior brother hadn't called me over, he could have succeeded."

The system of state advisors in the Great Yu Dynasty was one of the root causes of its demise. However, it is undeniable that the system of state advisors played a crucial role when the Great Yu Dynasty was first established. In particular, the first two state advisors were both exceptionally talented and had extraordinary abilities. They stabilized the situation and led the Great Yu Dynasty to become stronger.

The first two imperial advisors held pivotal positions in the Great Yu Dynasty, and through word of mouth, they had become almost mythical figures.

"Unfortunately, the second imperial advisor was in direct contact with him, and he was unaware of the second imperial advisor's location."

"As for how many Great Yu Tribulation Transcendence Stage cultivators have revived, he didn't know. However, based on the task given to him by the second Grand Preceptor, he judged that he wasn't the only one who had revived a Great Yu Tribulation Transcendence Stage cultivator; there was at least one other person besides him."

"He possesses a considerable amount of intelligence regarding the Great Yu Nascent Body Integration Realm. This matter has been entrusted to Junior Brother Dai and the Great Xia Luoshui Guards for handling. However, these Great Yu Nascent Body Integration Realm are very cautious and may have already fled due to their attention to the Qingzhou Grand Ceremony. How many they can capture depends on luck."

"According to his confession, one of his most dangerous subordinates was named Tomb Bone True Lord. His cultivation was not outstanding, but he possessed a broken Myriad Soul Banner. Originally, the Myriad Soul Banner was intact, but he failed to properly safeguard it while he was asleep. Over the long years, the Myriad Soul Banner gradually decayed, and the fierce ghosts within escaped, causing harm to the world."

"In the 30,000th year of the Great Xia calendar, Liangzhou was plagued by ghosts. The evil spirits roamed freely, and the people suffered greatly. No one dared to go out at night. The vast Liangzhou was filled with ghosts. The imperial court dispatched a large number of people to suppress the ghost plague. Unfortunately, at that time the imperial court was unaware of the news of the ancient cultivators' resurgence and did not think in this direction. The cause of the ghost plague was not investigated and clarified for a long time."

"That ghostly disturbance should have been caused by the Myriad Souls Banner of the Tomb Bone True Lord; the timing roughly matches up."

"The Tomb Bone True Lord is repairing the Myriad Souls Banner, which requires a massive amount of blood and vengeful spirits to complete."

"To obtain a massive amount of blood and vengeful spirits, killing is unavoidable."

"The fact that he's repairing the Banner of Ten Thousand Souls means he's found the source of the bloody aura and vengeful spirits, while we haven't received any information about it."

"If we can't find him soon, by then the Myriad Souls Banner will have been repaired. Even if we manage to capture him, it will be too late. He'll fight to the death, destroy the Myriad Souls Banner, unleash vengeful spirits, and wreak havoc on the entire state."

At the end, Yun Zhi's tone unusually became heavy.

Lu Yang: "..."

Immortal Fairy: "..."

Why does the name "Tomb Bone True Lord" sound so familiar?

The Immortal Fairy hesitated for a moment, then asked, "What does this Tomb Bone True Lord you mentioned look like?"

The Celestial Calamity Venerable had already revealed the appearances of all his subordinates. Yun Zhi snapped her fingers, and a wisp of smoke drifted out, slowly transforming into an old face that Lu Yang and the Immortal Fairy found very familiar.

The withered old man, looking as if he hadn't eaten for days, carried a tattered banner.

"It really is him!" Lu Yang and the Immortal Fairy exclaimed in unison.

"You two know each other?" Yun Zhi asked, puzzled. Tomb Bone True Lord was a cultivator from the Great Yu Dynasty, who had been hiding in the shadows for a long time, and it wasn't even certain which state he was hiding in. Where had the two of you met before?

The immortal fairy spoke calmly, like a great sage with profound wisdom, pressing her fingers as if calculating something, or more like having an epileptic seizure.

"I calculated with my fingers and discovered that Devil Cultivator was causing trouble in Liangzhou. Therefore, I ordered my Netherworld Heavenly King to lead the charge, and together with the Nine Nether Sect, we subdued the demon and found this fiend. We captured him and, as a token of friendship between our two sects, presented him to the Nine Nether Sect!"

Yun Zhi translated it briefly: the Grand Elder and Vice Sect Leader Shi had somehow captured the Tomb Bone Venerable, while Lu Yang and the Immortal Fairy watched the whole thing.

The specific process doesn't matter, as long as you can grasp it.

Yun Zhi clasped her hands in a fist salute. "Dou Tianzun's schemes are astounding."

The Immortal Fairy, smug and slightly provocative, glanced at Lu Yang.

"There's one more small matter concerning Lu Yang that I'd like to ask you."

"Please speak, senior."

"Lu Yang applied for a flying car patent. Fifth Elder said that the patent fee has been paid to you. Why didn't you pay the patent fee to Lu Yang?" As the ruler of the Heavenly Court, the Immortal Fairy showed no respect to the leader of the Heavenly Court Sect.

Yun Zhi seemed to have thought of something, her tone calm.

"So that's what it was about."

Why wasn't it given to Lu Yang?

I forgot.

The second update will be around 11 PM.
