"Okay, we'll take ten each, and then ask the chief priest for them when we need them in the future." Seeing that Wen Gaoren had accepted them all, Sikong Qinglan and Shen Yuhe each took ten.
"Okay then. Don't be shy about asking me for what you need next time. Also, I plan to give some of the remaining money to An Xiaxin and the others after we go back, and confiscate some of it in the temple and distribute it regularly to the priests below, or use it as a reward. You can discuss what to do after we go back. By the way, I'll keep some for my own cultivation. Do you have any objections?" Mu Hanyan asked.
This was something she had thought of a long time ago. Since she became the chief priest, she had to be worthy of the Huayu Temple, worthy of the trust of An Xiaxin and others in her, and more importantly, worthy of herself, so she would not keep these relic soul beads to herself.
However, she knew that her qualifications were different from others, and the resources required for cultivation far exceeded those of ordinary people, especially for each breakthrough and advancement. She originally thought that it would be an exception when she arrived at the Continent of Gods, but judging from her recent hard work in cultivation but no improvement in strength, there should be no change, so she had to keep some for herself.
"Of course not. This relic soul bead was originally found by you, sir. You can do whatever you want with it." Sikong Qinglan and Shen Yuhe said with some surprise and some emotion.
These relic soul beads were originally found by Mu Hanyan. Even if she kept them all for herself, they would not have any objection. Being able to share some with everyone was already a rare kindness, not to mention that a part of them had to be confiscated. They had never even thought about such a good thing, so how could they have any objection?
Recalling the situation when An Xiaxin suddenly decided to give the position of chief priest to Mu Hanyan, the two of them were somewhat impressed. Although An Xiaxin was not much older than them, when it came to vision and courage, she was really not comparable to them.
And in the near future, they will know that pushing Mu Hanyan to the position of chief priest against all odds is also the wisest decision they have made in their lives.
Seeing they had no objections, Mu Hanyan didn't say anything further. A relic soul bead worth nearly a billion was an unimaginable fortune for priests of their caliber, but for Mu Hanyan, who had once been a peak Grand Swordsman and had even ascended to the realm of Sword Saint in a previous life, it was nothing. She didn't bother to dwell on it.
Since the formation space that hides the relic soul bead may also contain formation spaces that hide other rare treasures, so Mu Hanyan was not in a hurry to leave and began to search carefully.
Seeing Mu Hanyan's calmness, Sikong Qinglan and others were even more impressed.
When they accidentally saw the history that was forcibly erased by the current temple, they were all worried and just wanted to leave this place of trouble as soon as possible. However, Mu Hanyan was not worried at all and was in the mood to hunt for treasure. This calmness was really beyond their reach.
No wonder they say that the brave will die of overeating and the timid will die of starvation. It is indeed true.
Unfortunately, Mu Hanyan did not die from being stuffed to death this time. Until the last bit of star power in the Tianji Mirror was exhausted, she was unable to find other formation spaces and could only give up with regret.
Riding in a carriage, several people rushed to the teleportation point.
"By the way, Master Priest, if someone asks where this relic soul bead came from, how should we answer?" Shen Yuhe asked with some concern.
It is related to the history concealed by the temple. If someone asks, they dare not say anything casually. Otherwise, if they are not careful, the Huayu Temple will disappear into history like that temple, and no one knows how many people will die as a result.
Mu Hanyan hadn't thought about this question yet, and pondered for a moment after hearing this.
"Just say that I won it, isn't that enough? Think about the time when I, Ling Baobao, roamed around in all the major casinos, with superb gambling skills. I won so much money that my hands cramped. What's a little relic soul bead to me?" Ling Baobao said disapprovingly.
"Stop bragging. I remember when I first met you and saw that group of creditors, I think you were the one who was caught cheating and had to write an IOU." Mu Hanyan gave Ling Baobao a cold look.
This guy helped her win a lot of money, but he always cheated when he made bets with others. Later, Zirong told her that he had been to the casino several times, and each time he was caught cheating and chased all over the city. If it weren't for Zirong and the others' help, he would have been beaten up countless times. His gambling skills are superb.
"Hehe, that was an accident, an accident." Ling Baobao smiled awkwardly after his secret was exposed, but he remained calm. He was really thick-skinned.
"I heard that the relic soul beads of the twelve temples are distributed by the five major temples. Where do the relic soul beads of the five major temples come from?" Mu Hanyan was too lazy to pay attention to him and asked after thinking for a while.
Chen Yuhe and Sikong Qinglan shook their heads, obviously not very clear.
"There are roughly three sources of relic soul beads. One is from the Lesser God Heaven. Compared to the mainland wasteland, the Lesser God Heaven has a wider variety of exotic beasts, including many rare and powerful species. They are more likely to produce relic soul beads. However, ordinary priests don't have many opportunities to go to the Lesser God Heaven, so this part of the resources is controlled by the main temple.
The second source is the wasteland we are in. Although the strength and variety of the exotic beasts in the wasteland are not as good as those in the Lesser God Heaven, there is a certain chance of producing relic soul beads, so the five major temples including the Temple of Life often organize people to go hunting in the depths of the wasteland.
The third possibility is that this is also the wasteland itself. Some desperadoes, self-proclaimed warriors, driven by a sense of survival, will venture into the depths of the wasteland to hunt. Of course, compared to the Five Great Temples, their chances of success are much smaller, as each relic soul bead is forged at the cost of countless lives. "Wen Gaoren's knowledge was indeed much broader than theirs, and he answered after gathering his thoughts.
In fact, there is a fourth situation, which is their situation, but the probability is too small, maybe not even one in a billion, so I don’t bother to say more.
"That's easy. If anyone asks, we can just say that we happened to encounter a group of strange beasts, set a trap and killed them, and then got some relics and soul beads and get away with it." Sikong Qinglan said easily after hearing this.
Some of these teleportation points were extremely remote, close to the heart of the wilderness, and precise positioning was impossible; there would be some deviation, so encountering swarms of exotic beasts was possible. The High Priest's strength had been witnessed by others, and with Wen Gaoren, a master of formations, by his side, setting traps and slaying swarms of exotic beasts wouldn't be difficult.
Wen Gaoren remained noncommittal. Not every exotic beast had a relic soul bead. Little Shentian was a bit better off. In the wasteland of the mainland, even if one killed a thousand exotic beasts, one might not be able to find one. However, the others didn't know, so it was reasonable to make an excuse.
"In that case, it would not be convenient for me to sell these relic soul beads." Mu Hanyan frowned.
