In the cave, as Zheng Sanjin's smile faded, the two men officially began their confrontation.
"I found some interesting things in the accounts of the weapon refining workshop, and asked Fellow Daoist Su. He said that you provided some refining materials."
"Master Zheng, can you tell me where you got all those materials?"
"Of course it was the ill-gotten gains that Zheng had obtained from this sea."
Gao Xiang was choked by this sentence. The pirate leader is still a pirate leader, very rude.
Seeing Zheng Sanjin looking at him with a slight smile, he felt a hint of mockery.
"Since Palace Master Zheng is so straightforward, I will be frank with you as well."
"Since I came to Wanxian Island, I have received a total of one hundred reports, all of which were reports from foundation-building cultivators on the corruption of some Jindan cultivators in the four major workshops."
"I consider myself to be well-informed in the Holy Dynasty, but this tip of the iceberg is enough to shock me. However, I didn't check it out. Does Palace Master Zheng know why?"
Without waiting for Zheng Sanjin to answer, Gao Xiang spoke to himself.
"I believe there must be a deeper story behind this. What do you think, Lord Zheng?"
"I think you're right."
Gao Xiang's hand holding the tea bowl shook, and a few drops of spiritual tea were thrown out.
"Palace Master Zheng, why are you so calm? Aren't you afraid that I will really investigate and find some Nascent Souls, those monks, or even you?"
Zheng Sanjin thought to himself, I’m scared, I must be scared.
If you find out that I'm a demon, I'll be dead.
Death is a small matter, but delaying the integration of the main body is a big deal!
But on the surface, everything remains calm.
Looking at Zheng Sanjin's horrible appearance, Gao Xiang felt furious.
"What time is it now?"
"It was when my human cultivators were fighting against the coalition of monsters and sea tribes in the Infinite Inner Sea!"
"You can say this is a battle that will determine our future."
"You, no, how dare they, reach in here!"
Gao Xiang is still giving these fellow Taoists a way out. This place is not like the Holy Dynasty.
He has bargaining chips, those reports and Su Chenyu's photo stone, which can be used to forcibly uncover the mysterious workshop. And he firmly believes that as long as the mysterious workshop is investigated thoroughly, everything will come to light.
But he was hesitant as to whether this would affect the war at the front.
Therefore, he would rather violate the code of conduct that he had followed throughout his life, and turn a blind eye, not investigating further, and not reporting what happened here to the venerables.
All he wanted was for the human race to win and have a wider living space.
Zheng Sanjin naturally understood what he said.
He admires this person a little bit. He is meticulous in his work, has a sense of justice in his heart, and can even put aside his own beliefs for a moment for the sake of justice. This is not easy.
It’s a pity that everyone has different opinions.
What he wants is longevity and transcendence.
What Gao Xiang wants may be a question of right and wrong.
"In the beginning, I struggled in a small market town, and a few acres of spiritual fields were all I had."
"My whole life will end with those few acres of spiritual fields until my bones wither away. I may not leave behind more than a hundred spiritual stones. That's when I realized a problem."
"If you want to live well in this world, you have to eat people."
"I tried every way to escape, and tried every way to improve my cultivation."
"You've come this far after all these struggles. I admire your character, but I don't like what you do."
"Supervisor Gao, I suggest that you practice in seclusion on Wanxian Island and not worry about these mundane matters. I'm not threatening you, I really admire you a little bit, this is a suggestion or advice."
After Gao Xiang listened to a narration similar to his own experience, he understood in his heart that this kind of person would not stop.
They only care about themselves and their own interests, but what can you do if you just take those resources?
Can he become a deity? Can he become a fusion? Or something higher?
If Zheng Sanjin knew what he was thinking, he would definitely reduce his appreciation for him a few points. This is the psychological comfort he pursues after seeing the end at a glance.
Rather than the kind of persistence that comes completely from the heart.
He is different. The future of his original body is far away.
These clones of theirs use their own hands to achieve the dreams of their original bodies. Things like fusion and refining the void are no longer distant dreams, but are something that can be truly achieved!
"If I continue to investigate, or even intensify my efforts, will I end up like those three fellow Taoists?"
Zheng Sanjin picked up the teapot in his hand and slowly filled it with tea.
A light sentence popped out of his mouth.
"I will personally escort you on your way to show my respect for you."
This is equivalent to turning over the table.
Gao Xiang was not afraid. What he had encountered in the Holy Dynasty was much more exciting than this!
"Okay, if that's the case, then I, Gao Xiang, will accompany you to the end. I want to see if Palace Master Zheng is as charming as the rumors say."
At the end, I don’t know if it was a joke or a test, but he added another sentence.
"You can't possibly send me off right now, Palace Master Zheng?"
Zheng Sanjin smiled and said, "Not enough. You are not worth my effort right now."
"In that case, I will have no choice but to ask the venerables to ask Palace Master Zheng to open that mysterious workshop. I want to check the accounts!"
Oh no, they are targeting the Happy House.
Quite perceptive.
"The venerables are not in charge of this right now, so you can apply for it."
"Fellow Daoist Gao, let me give you one last piece of advice. If you investigate everything, you will only end up hurting yourself."
"It may not even be my turn to take action."
"Things on Wanxian Island weigh less than two taels if not weighed, but weighed more than a thousand pounds if weighed."
"Can your brother Gao's small body handle it? I'll see what happens."
Facing Zheng Sanjin, whose cards were almost exposed, Gao Xiang drank the cup of spiritual tea in one gulp and slammed it heavily on the stone table.
"Then let's just wait and see!"
After saying that, he turned around and walked out.
Only Zheng Sanjin's faint voice came from behind.
"Fellow Daoist Gao, aren't you afraid that this spiritual tea may contain some poison?"
Gao Xiang's steps became disordered and he stood in a daze in the passage leading to the outside of the cave.
My heart was shaken. I was a little emotional just now and was careless!
"Hahaha, I was just kidding. Don't worry, I won't use such evil tricks."
"If you weren't worthy of my attack right now, and you dared to come in front of me, you would have died dozens of times already."
"I hope you can find something I can use next time."
Gao Xiang left and several workshop owners came.
Everyone gathered together, and Zheng Sanjin took out a photo stone and let them watch the confrontation between the two men just now.
Several monks expressed their dissatisfaction with Zheng Sanjin. Why are you so blunt?
"Everyone, if he wants to investigate, just let him do it. Gao Xiang alone cannot turn things around on Wanxian Island."
After being comforted, a few people still felt a little resentful, especially Su Chenyu, and Zheng Sanjin was also annoyed.
The trouble was caused by Su Chenyu. I had asked him to do the accounting for them, but he was not happy about it. If I had handed it over to him earlier, there would have been no problem.
It would be fine if those corrupt Jindan monks died in accidents. What can be found out?
Now they have found the door directly, and they have evidence from you, Su Chenyu. The venerables took a look and said, "Oh, you still have a lot of materials in your Temple of Ten Thousand Immortals. Take them out and open the workshop to have a look."
Will he be able to take it out when the time comes? Or will he be able to open the Happy House?
Click.
Zheng Sanjin threw a few jade slips and some photo stones onto the table in front of several shop owners.
"Take a look, and then talk to me."
At this moment, Zheng Sanjin had completely lost his previous kindness and his face was full of ferocity.
I’m not going to pretend anymore. It’s too tiring. I’m going to be honest.
