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 73 Gratitude and Repayment: A Win-Win-Win-Win!

Sun Hongbo's thinking is not without reason.

After all, the world is not good these days, and the family tradition of Heshan Dao is even more "excellent", with countless examples of "kindness between teachers and filial piety between students".

Because it is located in the wild and desolate land of the Ten Thousand Mountains, Heshan Dao is said to be a major unorthodox sect, but in fact its style of doing things is closer to the demonic path.

In other words, Heshan Dao is located in a remote and desolate place, and it knows how to be tactful. It never causes trouble on the territory of the major Xuanmen sects. Its bottom line and integrity are quite flexible, and its actions are even more flexible.

If his disciples commit evil deeds and are caught by the "righteous men" of the major Xuanmen sects, Daoist Heshan never intervenes. He cuts them off with lightning speed and can even cooperate in "cleansing up the sect" when necessary.

Otherwise, the gates of Heshandao would probably have been razed to the ground long ago by some big shot with an overflowing sense of justice!

In fact, the first lesson of Heshandao is: doing good or evil is up to one's own heart, but one must also be prepared to bear the consequences.

If one is utterly wicked but still wants to implicate one's sect...

There's only one outcome: either you maintain your dignity, or your sect helps you maintain your dignity.

Although Sun Hongbo is not a member of the Heshan Dao sect, he has been following the Sanyin Temple Master for nearly twenty years and has a deep understanding of the Heshan Dao sect's style of doing things.

Most importantly, Sun Hongbo put himself in Sun Hongbo's shoes and also felt that only the dead could keep secrets.

Currently, only two people know about Bai Cang's attack on Han Tao.

Han Qinhu, the seventh patrol officer, was someone they knew they absolutely could not afford to offend.

So, what's the safest and most reliable way to do it? I don't need to say more, right?

In that instant, the thought of "murdering to silence" flashed through Sun Hongbo's mind, but on the surface he still maintained a strong facade, saying, "Tell me about it, and I'll consider it."

Everything else is negotiable, but I really can't lend you my head.

"My godfather should be almost fully recovered by now, right?"

Seeing this, Bai Cang chuckled inwardly, but pretended not to know: "Could you ask Master to intervene and request the temple to bestow an Enlightenment Pill, saying that it was prepared for me?"

Having borrowed money from "Zhang's father" so many times, it's time to repay him.

In particular, Bai Cang had already heard (Jiao Fei gossiped) that Zhang He had repeatedly forced people to borrow money, and was once hated by gods and ghosts among the stewards of the Sanyin Temple.

It goes without saying who ended up with all that money, right?

Based on this alone, Bai Cang felt it wouldn't be right to give him an Enlightenment Pill; he would be utterly inhuman.

We must repay both our debts of gratitude and our grievances.

This is the persona he intentionally created, and it is indeed his code of conduct!

Bai Cang knew he wasn't a good person and had a clear understanding of his own arrogance.

Selfish, suspicious by nature, ruthless, willing to betray the world, and even somewhat like Cao Cao, he wouldn't deny it if he were said to be a Cao Cao from another world.

However, this does not mean that he lacks the most basic moral values ​​and the most fundamental "conscience" of being human, although he doesn't possess much of it.

From a utilitarian perspective, this is also about cleaning up the mess and calming Sun Hongbo's jittery emotions.

Look, I'm grateful even to "Father Zhang," so how much more grateful I am to "Teacher Sun," who has helped and been even more influential to me?

Most importantly, as he advanced to the Qi Refining Immortal Master level, Bai Cang also began to consciously build his own team.

Whether he establishes his own sect later or "can be replaced," he will need someone to handle his tedious affairs so that he can easily obtain resources and focus on alchemy and cultivation.

Sun Hongbo and Zhang He are the best choices, without exception.

One focuses on external affairs, and the other on internal affairs; they are definitely the best helpers.

Anyway, Bai Cang doesn't have to "pay" for the Dao Entry Pill, so he can get it from the Master of the Three Yin Temple for free.

"Master Sun" has already paid his own bills over the years!

From this perspective, supporting Zhang He's advancement to the Innate Realm is a win-win-win situation with zero losses and three benefits in one fell swoop.

Zhang He, you win!

Sun Hongbo wins!

Bai Cang, a huge win!

Only the master of the Three Yin Temple "lost," but he didn't know it, so it was as if he hadn't lost.

This is Bai Cang's "win-win-win" philosophy!

As expected, Sun Hongbo did not hesitate at all upon hearing this, and patted his chest and said, "This is easy, I guarantee I will take care of it for you."

I thought you wanted to borrow my head.

Bai Cang bowed in thanks and then asked, "Master, now that I can refine Bigu Pills, do you have any channels to sell them?"

"Also, where can I purchase the formulas for other elixirs?"

"If Master can lend his full assistance, I am willing to give 30% of the profits to Master as a token of my respect."

Let me translate: You provide the channels, the formula, and the materials; I'll handle the alchemy. We'll split the profits 30/70.

Bai Cang simply didn't believe that with such a huge pie falling into his lap, "Master Sun" wouldn't be tempted.

"Good, good, good child, I knew I hadn't misjudged you..."

Upon hearing this, Sun Hongbo became so excited that he became incoherent and could not calm down for a long time.

Even the master of the Three Yin Temple would take 90% of the profits from the ordinary elixirs he refined himself.

Moreover, this is the net profit after deducting the pharmacy's "operating costs".

Bai Cang made a move by immediately offering 30% of the profits, clearly demonstrating his superiority.

Even if both are just empty promises, Bai Cang's promise is undoubtedly bigger and more appealing!

Even if Sun Hongbo thought about it with his heels, he would know how to make the right choice.

I have no connection with this so-called Master of the Three Yin Temple. Let's not contact each other again, or my "good disciple" might misunderstand.

"I do have some connections, but a 30% cut is too much; this is absolutely unacceptable."

Sun Hongbo calmed down and immediately refused firmly, saying, "I have some connections and can help you with some miscellaneous matters, but I only need to take 10%."

If there were any more, he was afraid he would get burned. Did he really think that the "Master Immortal" was running a charity?

“Then I’ll listen to Master,” Bai Cang said with a smile, emphasizing his “obedience.”

The 30% profit is just empty talk and a show of "filial piety."

He dares to offer it, but does "Master Sun" dare to accept it?

If they actually dare to ask for it, it only shows that they are not a good "partner".

After all, how can people who can't even tell the difference between being full at one meal and being full at every meal cooperate well?

For the sake of "Master Sun's" life, it would be best to end the cooperation as soon as possible.

After taking advantage of him, Bai Cang kicked him aside – that was the last act of kindness he could show him.

Fortunately, Sun Hongbo was not a short-sighted person, which saved Bai Cang a lot of trouble.

"However, the formula for the pill is rare, and the spiritual ingredients are even rarer. I am currently at a loss."

Sun Hongbo breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this and began to offer suggestions, saying, "The spiritual resources of the entire Guobei County are strictly controlled by the Abbot."

"Leaving aside whether we can afford other pill formulas, the sheer amount of spiritual herbs alone could completely shut us down."

Bai Cang showed a genuine desire to cooperate, which greatly increased Sun Hongbo's enthusiasm.

"Miracle herbs? There are plenty of them over there!"

Bai Cang turned his head to look in the direction of the medicinal herb field in the mountains, his eyes filled with eager excitement!

I'd like to request a free gift. Thank you to the "Mount & Blade Little Lord" expert!
