"What do you mean 'mine' and 'your'? In the end, aren't we all just risking our lives for you?"
With a flick of his sleeve, Yin Sha Zhenjun unleashed a cloud of white mist that engulfed the Heshan Dao members. “Heshan Dao may appear to be mine now, but in reality, we still have to listen to you.”
Why do you have to be so clear about things? Are you afraid I'll take advantage of you?
Upon hearing this, Bai Cang pursed his lips, then simply pushed his hand, sending the beam of glazed light flying towards Yin Sha Zhenjun.
"Two magical treasures, one for each of us, is that alright?"
That old woman is getting better and better at it.
It must be said that Bai Cang was indeed somewhat pleased.
However, he was also somewhat wary, keeping everything clearly in mind and never giving her a chance to take advantage of the situation.
The idea of a proper Daoist couple is just too terrifying.
With his unwavering resolve, "Master Bai" would rather focus his energy on the path of cultivation than create a "big burden" for himself.
"That's more like it!"
Yin Sha Zhenjun happily accepted the "Thousand Light Glazed Palace" and then disappeared into the Five Poisons Sect's mountain gate.
Destroying a sect doesn't mean killing all the enemy cultivators and looting all their resources.
There's still a lot of finishing work to be done, and each one is a hassle.
The simplest thing is to take over the territory and appease and deal with the many mortals in the territory of the rival sect.
This is not only a huge project, but also involves countless details, and even the slightest mistake can make it fail.
In the Hundred Thousand Mountains, without the protection of cultivators, mortals simply cannot survive.
Poisons, miasma, ferocious beasts, demons, evil cultivators...
Faced with various natural and man-made disasters, ordinary people are as fragile as grass and ants, and are simply unable to resist.
If you conquer and destroy another sect and seize their territory, you must take over their original responsibility for alchemy and protect the mortals under their rule.
These are the rules that are laid out in the open in the Ten Thousand Mountains, and also the bottom line drawn by the five great mystical sects of the Southern Frontier for unorthodox practices.
Of course, generally no one would refuse to take responsibility.
After all, ordinary people are a resource, and a very important one at that!
But for Bai Cang, he only wanted to get the benefits for free and was too lazy to deal with these complicated and trivial matters.
That's why he offered the "Thousand Lights Glazed Palace" as a price to obtain either Yin Sha Zhenjun or the takeover of Heshan Dao.
Not only the territory of the Five Poisons Sect, but also the territory of Heshan Road, have been taken into Bai Cang's possession.
But he only wanted to enjoy the offerings and didn't want to deal with the miscellaneous matters; at most, he would provide "military deterrence."
This is the true meaning of Yin Sha Zhenjun's "complaint".
On the surface, it's a complaint, but in reality, it's a declaration of loyalty.
The "Thousand-Light Glazed Palace" can be considered a reward from Bai Cang for her "loyalty".
As for whether Yao Kaishan and other True Lords of Heshan can escape their predicament, and whether they can accept the result of being usurped by Bai Cang after returning, that remains to be seen.
That's no longer within Bai Cang's considerations.
Anyway, he's a "great philanthropist" and definitely a reasonable person.
A strong fist and a sharp sword are the greatest principles!
If anyone disagrees, Bai Cang doesn't mind explaining his "reasoning" to them.
Thinking this, Bai Cang reached out and the emerald pearl fell into his hand.
【The True Explanation of the Mysterious Female (Extremely Incomplete): A First Glimpse】
The great Daoist chant resounded, and countless Daoist principles rose up.
"The spirit of the valley never dies; it is called the mysterious female. The gate of the mysterious female is called the root of heaven and earth. It exists continuously and inexhaustibly, and its use is never excessive."
"In the mirror of dreams and in the water, heaven and earth exist."
Those who wish to dream of heaven and earth cannot sleep; those who wish to reflect heaven and earth cannot see their own form; those who wish to draw water from heaven and earth cannot draw water from their vessels.
Whether it exists or not is not here, but there.
Therefore, the sage does not depart, and Heaven and Earth cease to recognize him.
"When clothes sway, the wind blows; when air touches objects, water is drawn; when water is poured into water, it makes a sound; when stone is struck, it shines."
Those who know this can act upon wind, rain, thunder, and lightning.
Wind, rain, thunder, and lightning all arise from qi (vital energy), and qi arises from the mind.
Those who understand this principle can emulate the virtues of Heaven and Earth.
“There is something undifferentiated and complete, which existed before heaven and earth. Silent and still, it stands alone and unchanging, ever-present and inexhaustible. It can be regarded as the mother of heaven and earth.”
In Bai Cang's heart, brilliant chapters unfolded, each word like a pearl, full of profound meaning, yet scattered and unsystematic.
Some of them are even incoherent and completely illogical.
"As expected of being extremely incomplete, it really is incomplete!"
Bai Cang pondered to himself, his expression turning strange.
Almost none of the parts in the entire "Mysterious Female True Explanation" are practical.
The only record that could barely be considered a cultivation technique was a small trick for tempering one's divine sense.
But if you say it's useless, every word and phrase here contains the essence of Tao, like a corner of the Tao.
If you ponder it carefully, you may not necessarily gain nothing.
However, compared to the other cultivation technique recorded in the "Mysterious Pearl," it seems too messy and useless.
[Primordial Qi Great Capture Technique: Masterful]
In fact, the "Mysterious Pearl" does not record the true technique of "Innate Qi Great Capturing Hand".
However, this treasure was originally a complementary magic weapon used in conjunction with the "Primordial Qi Great Capturing Hand".
Therefore, after absorbing the Daoist essence, Bai Cang immediately mastered this supernatural power to a state of "perfect refinement".
"But I remember that the Mysterious Female Pearl is the foundation of the second primordial spirit and external avatar, right?"
Bai Cang thought to himself, "Could it be because the inner treasure is incomplete that I am unable to obtain the complete Mysterious Female True Understanding?"
If the "Mysterious Female Pearl" is refined to its "complete" form, it should be a "pure yang magic treasure" with thirty-six treasure restrictions.
This "Mysterious Female Pearl" has only nine protective restrictions.
Although it is already the pinnacle of "illusory spirit magic weapon", it is only half a step away from being promoted to "true form" magic weapon.
However, it is still far from the "complete form" of the perfected Thirty-Six Treasure Restrictions.
However, Bai Cang was not picky: everything in the basket was a vegetable, what more could he ask for?
With this in mind, Bai Cang grabbed the "Mysterious Female Pearl" and "refined it in an instant"...
Alright, it can't be refined in an instant!
Even though the quality of the "Primordial Qi" was extremely high, Bai Cang could only refine half of the "Mysterious Female Pearl" treasure restriction in an instant.
However, the higher the difficulty of refining, the happier Bai Cang became, and he even felt somewhat fortunate.
If he hadn't instantly killed "Mad Sand True Lord," a Dharma Aspect Realm True Lord, and been directly frightened by "Five Poison Child," then...
If it really comes down to a head-on confrontation, the Five Poison Child, who wields the "Thousand-Light Glazed Palace" and the "Mysterious Female Pearl," will undoubtedly be a formidable opponent.
Even if they can't defeat Bai Cang and Yin Sha Zhenjun working together, they can at least cause them considerable trouble.
Fortunately, the Five Poison Child saved the day at the crucial moment!
Thinking like that.
Bai Cang simply sat cross-legged in the sky and focused intently on refining the "Mysterious Female Pearl".
As for the takeover and conclusion of the Five Poisons Sect's territory, and whether the prolonged delay will lead to other variables.
Bai Cang never considered these issues: with a strong fist and a sharp sword, one can act recklessly; even if the monk can run away, the temple cannot!
What he didn't know was that the destruction of the Five Poisons Sect had caused a huge uproar throughout the entire Ten Thousand Mountains.
Even the five major sects of the Southern Frontier noticed Bai Cang's existence, which attracted a lot of attention and discussion.
Even the Primordial Spirit Dao Lord who suppressed the Southern Frontier had heard of him!
