Starting Cultivation During a Trip

Chapter 804: Chapter 384: Closed-door Disciple! My Samadhi True Flame

Thunder City Demon-Catching Golden Seal, ranked ninety-first in the Dragon and Tiger Seal Golden Volume.

The so-called ’Thunder City’ is, according to Daoist mythology, the dwelling place of the Thunder Division deities.

It is said that in the center of the Nine Heavens Thunder City, there stands an iron pillar symbolizing an unavoidable divine punishment, and all great demons must be chained to it, subjected to Celestial Extreme Thunder Punishment.

In Journey to the West, after Heart Monkey wreaked havoc in the Celestial Palace and was captured by Erlang True Monarch from Guanjiangkou, he was bound to the Thunder City iron pillar and endured the Celestial Thunder Punishment.

”Thunder City Demon-Catching Golden Seal...” Zhang Fan’s heart grew hot.

Contained within this seal is the Thunder Skill, secretly imparted through the Dragon Tiger Pill Book and Mysterious Tao, a true lineage of the Profound Sect, derived from the same source as his Mighty Spirit Demon-Suppressing Gold Seal.

”Uncle Zhao, no wonder your business is so vast; you’re able to find treasures like this,” Meng Qiwu couldn’t help but remark.

She is a disciple of Zhongnan Mountain, well-versed in the histories of magical treasures around the world.

In the Daoist Sect, the three treasures—Talisman, Sword, and Seal—are the most commonly refined by various schools and sects, among which the Dharma Seal is ultimately centered around Dragon Tiger Mountain, uniquely extraordinary and unrivaled.

For thousands of years, Dragon Tiger Mountain Seals have been recorded in only one hundred and eight instances: thirty-six great seals and seventy-two small seals, corresponding to the numbers of the Heavenly Gang and Earthly Fiends.

It is said that the hundred and eight Dharma Seals all originate from the Yang God Celestial City Treasure Seal, which is why Dragon Tiger Mountain Seals have always been considered treasures of the Daoist Sect.

Especially after the great tribulation of the Daoist Sect, the appearance of each seal will trigger a frenzy of contention, even if it’s a residual seal, its value is immeasurable.

”Meng, you’re teasing Uncle again; although there aren’t many Dragon Tiger Seals left these days, from what I know, your Zhongnan Mountain holds three,” Zhao Menglang squinted and said.

Three Dragon Tiger Seals, fully intact, stored in the treasure hall, incense offered, and among them, one is part of the thirty-six great seals, named Purple Feather, with an immeasurable value.

Such a rich heritage is fitting only for one of the Ten Great Daoist Mountains like Zhongnan Mountain.

”Is that so? I’ve yet to see them,” Meng Qiwu chuckled lightly.

She certainly wasn’t aware of Zhongnan Mountain’s full resources; even Zhongnan Mountain’s successor, An Wuyang, probably didn’t know.

After all, they are still too young.

”Brother, what’s the price for this Thunder City Demon-Catching Golden Seal?” Zhang Fan couldn’t help asking.

He was incredibly tempted; if he could obtain this residual seal, along with the fragments of the Sun Seal, there might be a chance to elevate his Mighty Spirit Demon-Suppressing Gold Seal to a Cyan Feather Treasure, saving a hundred years of effort.

”Brother, this...” Zhao Menglang showed a troubled expression, ”this item is already claimed by someone.”

”Already sold? Who bought it?” Meng Qiwu couldn’t help but ask.

In the domain of Chang’an, anyone who has their eyes set on this residual seal and has the power to buy it should be known to her.

”I bought it.”

At that moment, a detached voice sounded from behind.

Zhang Fan turned around and saw a young man walk into the shop, clad in casual attire, a green Rolex on his right wrist, and a diamond-studded earring in his left ear.

”Xiao Changfeng!?” Meng Qiwu’s gaze sharpened as she called out his name.

”Senior Sister Meng, I didn’t expect to meet you here. You’ve taken an interest in this residual seal too?”

As he spoke, Xiao Changfeng walked up to Zhao Menglang, smiling, ”Uncle Zhao, I’ve come to pick up the seal today.”

Zhao Menglang glanced at Zhang Fan, then gave a wry smile as he handed the box containing the Thunder City Demon-Catching Golden Seal to Xiao Changfeng.

”Sorry, Senior Sister Meng, I beat you to it; this treasure is mine now,” Xiao Changfeng laughed as he spoke.

”Junior Brother Xiao, you are quite generous. Dragon Tiger Mountain’s seal is not suitable for you, moreover, this is just a residual seal,” Meng Qiwu said in a deep voice.

Clearly, she and the man in front of her belonged to the same sect and knew each other well.

”I know, but I’m giving this treasure to Senior Brother An,” Xiao Changfeng said coolly.

”An Wuyang!?” Meng Qiwu’s gaze darkened slightly.

Among the younger generation of Zhongnan Mountain, she possesses strong skills and high prestige. However, Zhongnan Mountain’s successor is An Wuyang, and as such, he’s followed by a group of young disciples.

When it comes to influence, she could never compete with An Wuyang.

Xiao Changfeng was a staunch follower of An Wuyang, with a cultivation at a high-level realm, remarkable and brilliant.

”This residual seal originates from Dragon Tiger Mountain, without a doubt holding profound mysteries, and its incense fire spiritual power still robust. I intend to give it to Senior Brother An to enhance his magical treasure, a gesture of sincerity as his junior,” Xiao Changfeng said with a hint of challenge in his eyes.

An Wuyang is unquestionably Zhongnan Mountain’s successor, yet recently, Meng Qiwu has shown signs of rising within the ranks, with many young disciples following her, much to Xiao Changfeng’s displeasure.

”An Wuyang wants to refine this residual seal?” Meng Qiwu asked, voice stern.

She knew An Wuyang’s magical treasure was indeed a Dharma Seal.

”Senior Sister Meng didn’t know? Last year, Senior Brother An also obtained a residual seal from Dragon Tiger Mountain, and now he has taken that seal to Maoshan...” Xiao Changfeng chuckled softly.

”In the next couple of days, I’ll deliver this Thunder City Demon-Catching Golden Seal. With these two residual seals, it will surely elevate Senior Brother An’s Treasure Seal even further.”

As he spoke, a proud look appeared in Xiao Changfeng’s eyes.

Maoshan, renowned for its expertise in Artifact Refining and Talisman Seal crafting, is among the top in the Ten Great Daoist Mountains.

Consequently, they offer services in these areas, with appointments scheduled up to three years in advance.

Previously, Zhang Fan repaired his Mighty Spirit Demon-Suppressing Gold Seal through Fang Changle’s connections, using the back door and cutting ahead in line.
