Sanyin Temple, outside the quiet room.
"This disciple is incompetent and has failed to live up to Master's trust. I beg Master to punish me!"
The hall master, Li Feiyu, was bent over, sweating profusely.
"It's just a lost corpse fungus, what's the big deal?"
The abbot of Sanyin Temple, however, didn't seem to care at all. He simply waved his hand and said, "Just be more vigilant in the future, and don't make a fuss over nothing."
These words caused a strange feeling among everyone present.
Even Li Feiyu, the seemingly "surprised" hall master, couldn't help but have some doubts in his heart.
Has the abbot changed his ways? Or has he been possessed by an evil spirit?
This is totally not his usual style!
Who doesn't know the "renowned reputation" of the Three Yin Practitioners in the martial arts world?
The name "Wild Dog Taoist" is considered somewhat infamous throughout the entire Hundred Thousand Mountains.
He was once willing to slaughter an entire village for a single medicinal herb.
He was usually very strict with his subordinates, often resorting to beatings and scoldings. When he got really angry, he would directly reward them with a "top-class private seat in the corpse pit".
Despite his apparent authority, he turns a blind eye to the petty greed of his subordinates.
However, when it comes to spiritual resources such as cultivation objects, the miser is much more generous than him, and he is extremely strict in controlling them, even forbidding any spiritual objects from being lost outside.
Why would Majiazhai risk offending Heshandao and insist on going against Sanyin Temple?
It's just that the master of the Three Yin Temple was too demanding and unreasonable, making people unable to bear it any longer.
This is why, even though only one spiritual herb was lost, Hall Master Li Feiyu was so apprehensive.
But now, he's being so generous?
Could it be that he has already prepared a top-notch private room in the "corpse pit," which is why he doesn't bother with the dead?
Upon thinking of this, Hall Master Li Feiyu turned deathly pale and trembled like a leaf.
However, the Abbot of Sanyin Temple had already turned to look at Xu Gong, the chief lecturer, and asked, "What did Senior Brother Xu say about your trip to Fuhutan?"
In the Sanyin Temple, the five masters are all "Dao soldiers" personally trained by the master of the Sanyin Temple.
However, the three capitals were inhabited by native people of the Xia Kingdom, each with their own origins.
For example, everyone says that Xu Gong is a collateral branch of a certain cultivation family in Yinshan County.
The head of the Xu family is currently serving as one of the three chiefs at the Tiger-Taming Altar, which means he has an extraordinary background.
The main sect of the Three Yin Temple all said that Xu Gong went to Yinshan County to investigate information because he took advantage of Xu Gong's local power.
“Reporting to the Abbot: Rumors are circulating in the altar that this year’s offerings will be tripled.”
Xu Gong cupped his hands and said, "More than half of the offering must be made from blood essence, and it must be genuine blood essence; no inferior blood essence can be used."
"In addition, we must hurry up with the collection of reincarnations. I heard that it is a decree from the Red Dragon Temple that each branch temple must have at least one pair of reincarnations to be considered as passing the assessment. Otherwise, they will all be ranked as the lowest grade."
Upon hearing this, everyone present changed their expressions slightly.
The so-called genuine essence blood is actually human essence blood, while the mixed products are animal essence blood.
According to the offering quota of the Sanyin Temple: half of the essence and blood is offered, which is at least 500 drops.
Even a strong, healthy person only has three to five drops of essence and blood in their body.
In other words, if the Sanyin Temple wants to meet its offerings target this year, it will have to sacrifice at least a hundred lives, and perhaps more.
"Oh, Mother! You are insatiable and eager for quick success!"
Upon hearing this, the abbot of Sanyin Temple cursed and said, "The sheepfold hasn't even been built yet, and you're already in a hurry to kill the goose that lays the golden eggs. That's extremely short-sighted. Do you really think Jiude Temple is deaf and blind?"
However, he only cursed a few times and didn't seem to care much.
He then asked, "Is there any movement from the inspector's side?"
As long as the matter of Han Tao's death remained unresolved, he could not find peace of mind.
However, so much time has passed, and the news of Han Tao's death has already been reported.
The inspector made no comment, which made the abbot of the Three Yin Temple even more anxious.
Xu Gong, upon hearing this, asked with a strange expression, "Does the fact that the garrison commander and his guerrillas feasted for three days and three nights count?"
Good grief, are you celebrating your colleague's demise?
Given his popularity, Han Tao's death was not unjust.
"And the inspector? Has anything been said about him?" The abbot of the Three Yin Temple breathed a sigh of relief, and a smile finally appeared on his face.
Although he really didn't want to show any schadenfreude, he just couldn't suppress the smirk that was AK-like.
"I heard that the inspector had already disappeared a few days before Han Tao died."
Upon hearing this, the smile on the face of the abbot of the Sanyin Temple vanished instantly.
Phrases such as "undercover investigation," "open and covert investigation," and "the omen of death" kept flashing through his mind.
Meanwhile, outside Guobei City.
Bai Cang, however, was flying through the air and darting around, having a great time.
Which teenager doesn't dream of flying and escaping into the sky for a lifetime?
As the saying goes: Riding the wind on a sword, vanquishing demons across the land, swallowing the sun and moon with a single sip, a minor immortal on earth.
Although it was only ten feet off the ground, although it could only move as fast as a galloping horse, although the art style was extremely eerie, and although it borrowed the power of a magical artifact…
But tell me, did it take off or not?
Until the first light of day appeared, and the sky began to lighten.
Bai Cangcai returned to Guobei County with lingering enjoyment, found a roadside stall, laid out thirty coins, and happily ate three bowls of tofu pudding.
One bowl of sweet, one bowl of salty, and one bowl of spicy.
"We've achieved freedom in making tofu pudding, but when will we achieve freedom in making miracle drugs?"
Bai Cang wiped his mouth and strode back to his own courtyard with an air of indifference.
Unsurprisingly, Sun Hongbo was already there "waiting for your arrival".
"You dare to come back? You're willing to come back..."
Before Sun Hongbo could finish his angry words, Bai Cang casually interjected, "Do you know how big of a mess you've made?"
"Master, could you please change your lines? It's always the same few lines, there's no originality at all."
Upon hearing this, Sun Hongbo laughed in exasperation, "Well, kid, you've grown wings, haven't you?"
"Getting cocky after achieving a little success? Young man, I advise you not to be so arrogant, otherwise..."
Bai Cang interrupted again, saying, "If you're not spirited, are you even a young person?"
"Bang!"
Sun Hongbo slammed his hand on the table. "You've grown wings and don't listen to your master anymore, have you?"
"With such arrogance, anyone who didn't know better would think you were a Qi Cultivation Immortal!"
Upon hearing this, Bai Cang's expression turned strange. Suddenly, he raised his hand, and a chilling magical power began to swirl around his palm.
Like a nimble bird in flight, or a butterfly flitting among flowers, it constantly changes shape.
Seeing this scene.
Sun Hongbo's scalp tingled and his whole body went numb.
"You...you...you..."
Bai Cang smiled calmly, "That's right, my disciple has already entered the Dao and begun practicing Qi."
"When your mind is clear, you can suddenly have an epiphany without even realizing it!"
I'm coming clean, I'm not pretending anymore, I am a Qi Cultivation Immortal!
"This...this...how is this possible?!"
Sun Hongbo stared in disbelief, his face filled with astonishment. "I clearly used the Mirror of the Bone to examine you. Your willpower was weak, and your foundation was shallow. How could you suddenly have an epiphany? This doesn't make sense..."
Upon hearing this, Bai Cang's eyes flashed with a sharp light, and his expression suddenly changed.
"White bones reflecting the heart? Master, don't you have an explanation for your disciple?!"
