From a Minor Sect Cultivator to the Primordial Spirit Dao Lord

In a world of immortals and swordsmen, a young Taoist named Mu Shao'ai loves flying swords, raising poison insects, drawing talismans, and refining pills. Isn't it delightful to live a care...

Chapter 457 Amassing Wealth, Treasure Trove, Plans Changed

Bai Cang remained silent, simply staring at the other person with a blank expression and indifferent eyes.

Tunyun Jun added, "The Emperor has already decided to expel the villains from beyond the realm. He is currently preparing a secret technique, and war may break out soon."

Upon learning this news, we immediately came to inform our brother, but unexpectedly, this misunderstanding has arisen.

Mr. Tuwu quickly chimed in, "Indeed! We came here to remind you, my brother, to familiarize yourself with the duties of the chassis engineer as soon as possible."

The Emperor's carriage is not merely a carriage; it is also the mobile core of the Celestial-Human Grand Array, making it crucial to this battle.

If anything goes wrong, the Emperor will kill you!

Upon hearing this, Bai Cang's heart stirred, and his icy expression immediately broke, revealing a bright smile. "What are you saying, brothers? I was just joking with you."

After saying that, Bai Cang stretched out his hands and grasped the hands of the two people.

The two jade bottles were then in the hands of the two men. "These are the Ascension Pills that I personally refined. I would like to ask my two elder brothers to help me appraise them."

Seeing this, Tunyun and Tuwu exchanged a glance, both feeling somewhat helpless and annoyed.

They thought they had encountered a fat sheep, but it turned out to be a deeply hidden venomous dragon and ferocious tiger.

It's truly a case of: spending a lifetime hunting eagles, only to have one's eyes pierced by a sparrow.

Bai Cang's "face-changing skill" not only terrified the two men, but also made them deeply understand what it means to be troublesome.

With their "no action until they see a benefit" mentality, how could they possibly be expected to profit from others?

Thinking this, the two felt bitter, but they had no choice but to pull themselves together and deal with it.

Bai Cang smiled and chatted with the two of them for a while.

It seemed they had returned to their "good buddy" state, completely unconcerned about their earlier falling out.

After a long while, he feigned nonchalance and said, "This matter has nothing to do with us. Why would the Emperor risk his life for the thieves of the Five Elements Cave?"

Tunyun Jun said, "This is an internal matter. After all, they were once fellow disciples. It's an internal struggle, so we can't let outsiders benefit from it."

Bai Cang nodded thoughtfully, then asked, "What secret technique is the Emperor preparing? Is it related to us?"

Mist-Spitting Lord smiled wryly and said, "Don't talk nonsense. How could we possibly discuss such secret matters?"

Seeing Bai Cang's expression turn cold, Tunyun Jun explained, "The Emperor has now returned to his grotto for seclusion, and only Jinxia serves him. We have no way of inquiring about him."

Mist-Spitting Guy chimed in, "It will only take three or four months to see the results. There's no use in us being anxious. We should just do our jobs well."

I know you're in a hurry, but please don't rush, okay?

Bai Cang suppressed his urge to transform into "King Gigi" and patiently chatted with the two of them for a while longer.

After confirming that the two really couldn't get any useful information out of them, they reluctantly and enthusiastically saw them off.

As soon as the two left, Bai Cang's gaze deepened again.

Even with the most conservative estimate, I only have three months left at most!

If we also consider the inaccuracies in their statements, perhaps only one or two months, or even less, remain.

"Time waits for no one!"

Bai Cang's eyes flickered as he considered various plans.

Meanwhile, in the Directorate of Ceremonial.

Tunyun and Tuwu sat facing each other, remaining silent for a long time.

"Damn it, I misjudged him!"

After a long silence, Tunyun Jun finally said with a hint of resentment, "I thought he was just a fool with too much money, but I never expected him to be such a ruthless and audacious poisonous dragon!"

But Mist-Spitting Guy said, "You really believe his nonsense?"

Lord Tunyun sneered, "What difference does it make whether you believe it or not? Can he possibly turn the world upside down?"

After pondering for a moment, Mist-Spitting Lord shook his head.

Above them, there was only a vast blue sky, which was the "Emperor".

As long as the "Emperor" is there, no one can overturn the heavens!

"That settles it; they can't escape the Emperor's grasp anyway."

The Cloud-Swallowing Lord said, "Since he doesn't know what's good for him, then let's use the Emperor's hand to ensure he suffers eternal damnation!"

Is being ruthless useful? Is being good at fighting useful?

All of them are like parasitic vines clinging to the towering tree of the "Emperor".

The most powerful tactic is to cling tightly to the Emperor's coattails and understand his intentions.

That "Jinxi Daoist" seemed to have a wide circle of friends, with "friends" all over the world.

However, he failed to grasp the key point, and not only did he fail to please these old men around the "Emperor", he also seriously offended the two of them.

That's completely counterproductive and utterly foolish!

With just a little trickery, they could bring him to an abyss of no return.

Lord Swallowing Clouds agreed wholeheartedly with Lord Spitting Mist's idea.

But he thought a little deeper: "That fellow must have a considerable fortune. We need to plan carefully and find a way to use the Emperor's influence to secretly squeeze all the money out of him."

Upon hearing this, Tunyun Jun's eyes flashed with a fierce light and his face was filled with greed. He couldn't help but nod vigorously.

If they had enough resources, they might be able to survive nine tribulations like "Jinxia" and become the "Emperor's" right-hand men.

What neither of them noticed was that blood vessels had appeared in their eyes at some point.

"As expected, the Blood Nightmare Heart Demon is also a heart demon; once activated, it stirs up only evil thoughts!"

Bai Cang suddenly opened his eyes, a thoughtful look flashing in them.

The two, Tunyun and Tuwu, believed that only heaven, earth, and themselves knew the truth, and they discussed how to "process" Bai Cang.

Little did they know that after activating their abilities in advance, their thoughts could not escape Bai Cang's notice.

They had already unknowingly fallen into Bai Cang's trap.

Immediately, Bai Cang got up and went to the vehicle frame department to seriously "handle" official business.

After all, we still have to put on a show!

However, you won't believe it until you see it, and what you find will shock you.

"These carriages are actually large-scale war artifacts crafted primarily from immortal jade?"

Bai Cang's pupils dilated, and a strong sense of greed arose in his heart. "Moreover, the cloud beasts pulling the carriage are all comparable to the level of Yin God Venerables?"

Good heavens! Just how incredibly wealthy and powerful must someone be to do something so wasteful?

Only then did Bai Cang realize that he seemed to have overlooked something.

The so-called "new method of ascension" promoted in this world, which turns to the cultivation of the soul, is extremely foolish and has caused many problems.

But this also means that much of the resources that should have been used up were thus preserved.

This is an enormous fortune!

Bai Cang had originally planned to infiltrate Yangshen Heaven and launch a sneak attack with the "Invisible Sword" while the enemy was engaged in a fierce battle with him.

If combined with other methods, Yang Dingtian will definitely suffer a loss in silence!

But now it seems that my perspective was still too narrow!

Having entered this treasure mountain, how can we leave empty-handed?

A bird in the hand is worth more than a thousand birds in the forest!
