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...
"You are Bai Cang?"
Bai Cang was greatly alarmed upon hearing this: although he had never met the Master of the Three Yin Temple, he had seen his portrait.
When they first entered the temple, all the servants worshipped his image so as not to "not recognize the true god despite having eyes".
But Bai Cang never expected that he would meet the Master of the Three Yin Temple in such an unexpected situation.
Moreover, judging from their demeanor, they came specifically for me.
How could Bai Cang not be terrified?
Could it be that my secret has been exposed, and they've specially invited me to enjoy the "Soul Refining Banner"?
"Disciple Bai Cang greets Abbot!"
Bai Cang appeared to be stiff with tension, but his true essence had been gathered to its limit.
Be ready at any time to unleash the "Five Ghosts Escape Form" and suddenly burst forth with power.
As for getting close enough to give him a hammer blow, he could kill him on the spot.
Bai Cang really wouldn't dare to have such a thought!
Although the aura of the Three Yin Master was not prominent, it gave him a terrifying sense of crisis, as if he were facing tigers and wolves alone.
No! He could easily kill tigers and wolves with a flick of his wrist, but the Master of the Three Yin Temple…
Bai Cang had barely entertained the thought of violence when a frantic warning came through his senses.
It was as if they were being targeted by some terrifying beast!
"Excellent, indeed a promising talent!"
The Master of the Three Yin Temple glanced at Bai Cang. "I heard from Old Sun that your alchemy skills have reached a high level? Have you mastered the Lesser Heavens Qi-Absorbing Pill technique?"
“Reporting to the Abbot: The Master has indeed taught me this method, but I am dull-witted and have not yet mastered it. I am ashamed to have failed the Abbot’s kindness. I am filled with trepidation.”
Bai Cang lowered his head slightly, afraid that the other party would discover the arrogance and murderous intent in his eyes.
"Don't be afraid, I'm not a tiger, I won't eat people."
The abbot of Sanyin Temple suddenly reached out and patted his shoulder, saying gently, "You are still young and have a bright future. Don't be impatient."
"As long as you do your job well, once you master the basics of the Lesser Heavens Qi Absorption Elixir Method, I will not hesitate to grant you an opportunity to enter the Dao and cultivate Qi!"
Bai Cang's muscles were taut, ready to strike at any moment and smash the dog's head with a 50,000-pound hammer.
However, he appeared extremely respectful, and when he raised his head, his face lit up with joy, and he said, "Thank you for your kindness, Abbot. This disciple will serve you with utmost loyalty!"
But what Bai Cang was thinking at that moment was: You better not have any dangerous ideas!
If you old codger have your eye on me and insist on preparing a top-notch private seat for me in the "corpse refining pit" and "soul refining banner," then...
In a fit of anger, I had no choice but to...emmm, I had no choice but to flee and run away. Don't underestimate a young man's potential.
Therefore, I suggest you don't even think about committing suicide!
"I heard you want to be transferred out? Don't be in such a hurry, young man."
Just then, the Master of the Three Yin Temple said again, "Work hard, refine the elixir well, and hone your skills."
"Soon there will be a tremendous opportunity. If you can make a preliminary understanding of the Lesser Heavens Qi Absorption Elixir Method within a year, I will do my utmost to help you!"
Having said that, the Abbot of the Three Yin Temple turned and left with his hands behind his back.
"A tremendous opportunity? Like becoming brothers on the Soul Refining Banner, the kind where we improve together?"
Bai Cang squinted slightly and patted off non-existent dust from his shoulder.
The moment the Three Yin Abbot reached out, he felt his hair stand on end and almost couldn't help but lash out.
The power of the Three Yin Master is simply terrifying!
It can only be said that he truly deserves to be called the pillar of the Sanyin Temple, a force that persuades people with reason.
Compared to the Master of the Three Yin Temple, Han Tao was practically a docile kitten.
But how did he suddenly appear here?
Did they specifically come to my door just to make empty promises and say these things?
Bai Cang felt that even if he thought about it with his heels, he would never believe it.
To be precise: Bai Cang wouldn't believe a single word or modifier from the Three Yin Abbot's words.
Ever since he discovered the trickery in the "Hun Yuan Zhuang" (Primordial Stance), Bai Cang has developed a deep-seated "stereotypical prejudice" against the Master of the Three Yin Temple, as if it were an imprint on his mind.
The wariness and vigilance towards everyone in the Sanyin Temple, especially the temple master, had penetrated to the bone.
Would someone who's always ready to turn their disciples into zombies really be so kind as to try and secure some "great opportunity" for him?
Unless this opportunity is the "Soul Refining Banner" of the Three Yin Temple Master, Bai Cang would never believe it, even if he were beaten to death.
"Looks like we need to speed up the upgrade process!"
"In this godforsaken world, without sufficient strength, one doesn't even have the right to be kind to others."
Bai Cang thought to himself, and a strong sense of crisis and urgency arose in his heart.
The sudden appearance of the Master of the Three Yin Temple made him feel extremely uneasy, as if he were sitting on pins and needles, as if he had thorns in his back, and he was sweating profusely.
"My whole life has been like walking on thin ice, but can I really reach the other side?"
Bai Cang stood there, looking thoughtful, while 4396 emergency plans for collapse, retreat, and escape had already been formed in his mind.
"Don't worry, at least for now, the abbot has no ill intentions towards you."
Just then, Sun Hongbo suddenly emerged from behind the door, patted Bai Cang on the shoulder, and said, "He's preoccupied with Han Tao's death, how could he have time to care about you? Today is just a coincidence."
"Moreover, to the abbot, your skills are worth far more than you are yourself."
Hearing this, Bai Cang breathed a sigh of relief. "The great opportunity that the abbot spoke of?"
Although Bai Cang absolutely did not believe in the possibility of a windfall, he did not mind taking the opportunity to inquire about it.
What if there's a chance to bypass the Three Yin Abbot and directly compete for the opportunity?
He refused to believe that with his persona as a "genius pharmacist" and "future alchemist," a young and promising talent, he wouldn't be able to succeed after leaving the Sanyin Temple.
Of course, as long as he remains within the Heshan Dao system, he cannot harbor too many illusions about the abbots of other counties, or the Fuhu Temple and Chilong Temple.
As the saying goes, all crows are black, so perhaps the Master of the Three Yin Temple is the most "kind-hearted" one?
As who could have imagined: Putin was actually a dove among the Russians, while the heartless "chamber pot" was actually a moderate who was "hesitant".
Not to mention that in the Sanyin Temple, he at least had connections with "Father Zhang" and "Brother Jiao", and was also protected by "Master Sun". It was better than being completely clueless in other places, right?
Therefore, unless absolutely necessary, or until he found a more reliable and powerful patron, Bai Cang did not have a strong desire to leave the Sanyin Temple.
"I had already heard about the opportunity that the abbot spoke of twenty years ago."
Unexpectedly, Sun Hongbo's expression turned strange upon hearing this, and he said, "But as your teacher, I haven't even seen a glimpse of an opportunity to enter the Dao yet. What do you think?"
After saying that, Sun Hongbo put his hands behind his back and left leisurely.
Damn! Another seasoned pie-in-the-sky pie-in-the-sky master, huh?
I'm absolutely speechless, you bunch of old fogies.
Bai Cang watched Sun Hongbo leave, and couldn't help but curse under his breath.
"However, we definitely need to speed up the upgrade process!"
In today's world, anyone can betray you.
Only genuine, undeniable strength will never betray you.
After all, only sweat and hard work will not be in vain!
