The cave fell into silence.
"Why, is the High Inspector unhappy?"
Zheng Sanjin spread his hands and scanned the jade slips and storage bags.
"Isn't this the result you wanted? Now the result is right in front of you, why are you so sullen?"
Gao Xiang looked at Zheng Sanjin with a complicated expression, even though he was still so calm.
"You must have set up this trap. I don't believe that so many of the senior brothers who are fighting against the sea monsters in the front will be like you."
Zheng Sanjin stood up, walked slowly behind Gao Xiang, and patted his shoulder gently with one hand.
"You can't say that, my High Inspector."
"Zheng believes that although you know everything about investigating corruption, you are totally clueless about the ways of the world!"
"Let me put it this way. Monks are also human beings. As human beings, everyone has desires, from small things like filling their stomachs and living a better life to big things like breaking through realms and achieving immortality."
"You think everything is righteous? You think everything is rigid? You think everyone restrains their desires like you do?"
"This is the world of cultivation, there are all kinds of emotions, how can we tell right from wrong? There are few people in this world as stubborn as you."
Zheng Sanjin walked up to Gao Xiang again, reached out to pick up the cup of spiritual tea that Gao Xiang had not drunk, and drank it in one gulp.
"You said you wanted to investigate me. I'll give you time and a chance."
"Don't say you didn't find anything."
"That's what you found out."
"Do you know what the result will be?"
"I'm just being transferred to another place, but I'll make a comeback somewhere else when the time comes!"
"Do you know why? It's because there are too many cultivators like me in this cultivation world, but too few cultivators like you who still have some perseverance."
"You came to me today, claiming that you had found something, but did you find that you actually still know nothing?"
Zheng Sanjin pointed at the things on the table.
"Now, I give you all these things, what can you do?"
"You said you didn't believe it, you said you didn't know whether it was true or not, that's all bullshit."
Zheng Sanjin returned to his seat, put his hands on the table, and stared at Gao Xiang.
"You know it very well, and you believe it very firmly, but you are afraid. You are afraid that it will bring unpredictable consequences to yourself, your family, and the Holy Dynasty of Zihuan Tianlang Territory!"
Gao Xiang shook his head violently. No, no, he almost got led astray by this kid Zheng Sanjin.
"No matter what you do, you are all guilty of corruption. To put it bluntly, you are stealing from the human race and enriching yourself at the expense of the public. No matter how you argue, you are wrong about this."
Zheng Sanjin clapped his hands.
"Supervisor Gao has a point."
"But who among you and me in this world of cultivation doesn't steal?"
"If I don't steal, what's the difference between a strong man and a weak man?"
"Did your and my cultivation level come about out of nowhere? Aren't they obtained from the spiritual energy of heaven and earth and the spiritual objects of heaven and earth?"
"Sometimes don't think you are so clean."
No, what he said was wrong, Gao Xiang kept reminding himself.
Is this all sophistry? But it is indeed as he said, everyone is plundering spiritual energy from heaven and earth to practice, and nourishing themselves with spiritual medicines and spiritual materials that are naturally born and raised.
The only difference may be that Zheng Sanjin and his ilk do it more thoroughly.
"Regarding the matter of Wanxian Island, do you think those senior masters who have attained the state of spiritual enlightenment are blind?"
"They can see it, but they just don't want to, and they don't want to care."
"Believe it or not, the amount of tasks to be handed in on Wanxian Island in this ten-day period will be reduced by 30%, and those uncles will not pursue the matter."
"We are all fellow Taoists on the path to immortality. You and I are no different from the rest of us."
"Look now, the battle on the front line is going well, the Immortal Sect has not suffered any losses, and we have all been able to improve our cultivation. The uncles have also felt our sincerity, and everyone is happy."
"Oh, except you."
"Put aside your prejudices, join us in Wanxian City, and improve with us. When the war is over, maybe you and I will have become gods."
"There aren't many opportunities like this. Please consider it."
Just like the devilish voice of some demon cultivator piercing his ears, Zheng Sanjin's words kept echoing in Gao Xiang's ears.
His eyes were a little blurry.
Yes, everyone is just trying to achieve immortality. Why should I bother myself? Blocking these people's ways to earn resources, isn't that just blocking their path?
I don’t have much talent for cultivation, and I may not be able to make any progress in this lifetime, but I can’t keep holding on to others.
Just like when I was at home, someone kept telling me not to be so unkind.
Although that was during the Holy Dynasty, it is very similar to the present.
At this moment, a clear air came out from the jade in his hand and rushed straight to the top of his head.
I woke up instantly.
Is it some kind of magic sound or something like that?
Gao Xiang did not blame Zheng Sanjin for anything. He had had this doubt as early as in the Holy Dynasty, but he did not understand it so thoroughly at that time.
"I will definitely not go along with you guys!"
"But I'm giving you a piece of advice. Stop now and maybe I'll really let bygones be bygones. Otherwise, I'll definitely report it to you. If you're transferred to another place as you said, then you'll be on your own!"
After making some harsh remarks, Gao Xiang decisively left Zheng Sanjin's cave.
Looking at Gao Xiang's back, Zheng Sanjin sneered.
If you really sound that awesome, why don’t you just take all these things away and take them directly to that fifth-level fairy island over there?
Or you can just hand it over to your ancestor and ask the so-called Venerable to come!
"In this world, if you want to live forever, you have to eat humans, monsters, and sea creatures. Otherwise, where would you get so many resources for your cultivation?"
"If you are not detached, everything is false, what is true and what is false, good and evil."
Well, this troublesome guy has been basically dealt with, and nothing should happen at least until the end of the war.
Someone as stubborn as Gao Xiang can say such words. To put it bluntly, it means he is giving in. To put it nicely, it means he is considering the overall situation.
People like them have taken a step back, or at least stopped moving forward, and this is already the greatest victory.
At this time, just keep silent and do what you should do. Don't be like a villain who has succeeded and try to take advantage of the victory.
If you really frame others, you will be the one who suffers.
Forgive others when you can, especially when you are the one who has gained the advantage.
After Gao Xiang returned, he had many questions in his mind, as if he was trapped in a maze. He even suspected that he was the one who did something wrong.
He returned to his cave, feeling extremely tormented. Finally, he recorded his confusion and doubts as well as what had happened that day on a jade slip, and then sent it back home through a long-distance teleportation array.
Then he shook his head and smiled. He hadn't looked for answers from his home for hundreds of years. It was like he had returned to the Jindan period, when he always liked to look for answers from his home.
He was not complaining, he just really wanted to ask his father who was a god.
Unexpectedly, his father, who was in the Spirit Transformation Stage, seemed to be thinking about something and handed all the things to the ancestor.
