They made a fortune!
Bai Cang concealed the talisman "Ruyi Vajra Pestle" in his right sleeve and the "Soul-Stabilizing Talisman" and "Spirit Jade" in his left sleeve, making a swift and powerful entrance.
With a talisman in my left hand and a magic weapon in my right, what can you use to defend yourself?
He, "Little Master Bai," didn't care at all about the mere 23,000 taels of silver.
In the pharmacy, Sun Hongbo sat upright in a grand chair, and suddenly laughed and scolded, "Alright, look at you, so useless."
"Now that you have officially become my disciple, there are some things I need to make clear to you."
Upon hearing this, Bai Cang immediately bowed and said, "I humbly request your guidance, Master."
Having formally become an apprentice, he could be considered someone with a solid foundation, a strong background, and powerful backing.
Do you really think that the benefits given to the Three Capitals, Five Masters, and Eighteen Deacons are all because of his "Little Taoist Master Bai's" reputation?
That was all because of "Master Sun's" reputation; the apprenticeship ceremony was arranged in advance.
Despite the adoration and praise he received, Bai Cang was frighteningly clear-headed.
He was quite clear about the difference between being full at one meal and being full at every meal.
Only by clinging tightly to "Master Sun's" coattails can one continuously reap benefits.
What? You said "Zhang's father"? Sorry, we're really not acquainted.
Let's not contact each other anymore, I'm afraid "Teacher Sun" will misunderstand!
There is only one sun in my heart, and that is "Teacher Sun"!
"To be honest, you gave me a big surprise!"
Upon hearing Bai Cang change his form of address, Sun Hongbo's smile widened, and he immediately showered him with praise, saying, "I thought you were at most well-versed in the 'Qing Nang Yao Jing' and would present it as a secret technique."
"I never expected you to be such a rare genius in alchemy. It was worth it for me to pull you out of the brink of death."
Ah Zhe! Are you just going to lay your cards on the table right now?
I haven't even brushed my teeth yet, I'm not mentally prepared at all.
Is it really okay for you to just reveal such a shocking secret?
Bai Cang was taken aback and quickly asked, "Master, what makes you say that?"
"Do you think the Three Yin Temple is a charity? You think immortal cultivation techniques are given away just for joining?"
Sun Hongbo grumbled, "If the Hunyuan Stance is not problematic, how could even a menial servant be able to receive its instruction?"
"This is a Dao soldier training method specially designed for the abbot. Once you enter the threshold, it will be difficult for you to get out. From then on, your life and death will be in the abbot's hands."
Upon hearing this, Bai Cang felt as if he had fallen into an ice cave, and all his joy vanished in an instant.
Holy crap, is this some kind of rip-off?
If I defect now, is it too late?
"What? Scared?"
Seeing Bai Cang's pale face, Sun Hongbo said again, "Don't worry, Xia Kingdom is originally Longhu Mountain's territory. Jiude Temple hasn't left yet, and the abbot has to be careful about the impact. He wouldn't dare to bring the style of the Ten Thousand Mountains to Sanyin Temple."
"As long as you don't practice the Hunyuan Golden Body Technique and don't connect with the Abbot's energy through the ritual, the Abbot won't bother with you, you slip-through fish."
The problem is, I've already mastered it! Do I even have a chance to escape?
Bai Cang's back was drenched in cold sweat as he cautiously asked, "May I ask, Master: What kind of place is the Nine Virtues Temple?"
Damn it! I knew those unorthodox methods were unreliable; the orthodox sects are much safer.
If given the chance, Bai Cang would definitely switch sides to the righteous camp without hesitation.
Maya! This dilapidated mountain road is terrifying!
"Jiu De Temple is a branch temple of Longhu Mountain in Xia Kingdom. There are many secrets and great matters involved here. Even I don't know much about it. You'd better not ask around."
Sun Hongbo warned, "This is a matter of utmost importance, concerning the plans and privacy of the sect's Golden Core Ancestor. Being too curious can be deadly."
Such a prestigious background? If I could become a disciple of the Nine Virtues Temple, wouldn't that be...?
It's not that unorthodox methods are unaffordable, but rather that the proper and righteous path offers better value for money.
Bai Cang's heart skipped a beat, but he remained outwardly calm and quickly changed the subject, "And what is the style of the Ten Thousand Mountains?"
"How about it? Hmph! Killing people to practice martial arts, extracting souls to refine techniques, these are all commonplace!"
Sun Hongbo snorted coldly, "If we were in the territory of the Ten Thousand Mountains at headquarters, let alone ordinary mortals, even we innate beings would only be consumables for immortal masters to cultivate spells and refine magical artifacts."
"Heshan Dao is known as 'a thousand mountains, a thousand methods,' and 99% of its methods require human beings as the material. What kind of approach do you think the Ten Thousand Mountains have?!"
Damn! This is getting scarier and scarier!
Bai Cang's resolve to run away with the bucket grew stronger.
But the next second, Sun Hongbo's words shattered all his illusions: "Is it only by betraying the Sanyin Temple and joining the Jiude Temple that you have a future?"
I advise you not to have such a foolish idea!
"Leaving aside the fact that Longhu Mountain only accepts those with exceptional talent and immortal roots, just the fact that the Xia Kingdom was transferred to our Heshan Dao by Longhu Mountain shows the relationship between the two."
"Do you think you're qualified to have Longhushan Mountain risk offending Heshandao to accept you as a disciple?"
Bai Cang chuckled dryly upon hearing this, "What are you saying, Master?"
"My master has been incredibly kind to me, and I am utterly loyal to him. I have never even considered such a thing!"
There is only one sun in my heart! Loyalty!
It's not because our escape route was cut off or we had nowhere else to go.
"That had better! Otherwise, when you die, I'm afraid you'll splatter my blood all over me!"
Sun Hongbo snorted coldly, then reassured him, "Being born in Xia is your good fortune. I still have some influence with the abbot, so protecting you shouldn't be a problem."
"If you do things diligently and make many contributions, you may have the opportunity to enter the Tao in the future."
"It's even possible that a true inheritance of alchemy techniques could be bestowed upon him!"
Stop drawing! Stop drawing!
The promises my boss made in my past life are still sitting in the fridge, untouched.
We can't finish it, we simply can't finish it!
Bai Cang agreed, but couldn't help but curl his lips: The taste is too strong, it's really hard to eat!
"Do you think I'm trying to deceive you with empty words?"
Sun Hongbo, however, keenly noticed the change in Bai Cang's expression and immediately took out a jade scroll from his sleeve and slammed it onto the table.
"See this? This is the alchemical method passed down by the abbot."
"If you serve the abbot diligently from now on, won't this alchemical inheritance be yours sooner or later?"
Bai Cang looked up and saw that the cover of the jade book was engraved with seven ancient characters.
But like the lines of rolling clouds, they are completely incomprehensible.
"Don't understand? That's good!"
Seeing this, Sun Hongbo smiled smugly, "This is the Cloud Register Bird Book, which contains the ultimate truths of heaven and earth. Only those who cultivate can understand it."
"If you perform well in the future, I will teach you how to interpret the Cloud Register Bird Book, and it will only be a matter of time before I pass on the alchemy method."
What? You're asking why we're not spreading it now?
Do you think I don't understand this either, and that I'm also living off the empty promises made by the abbot? Can I tell you that?
Seeing this, Bai Cang's heart stirred. "Master, may I touch it?"
I've washed my hands three times already, may I touch your trophy?
Sun Hongbo hesitated for a moment upon hearing this, but finally gritted his teeth and said, "Be gentle, don't hurt me."
Upon hearing this, Bai Cang was overjoyed and immediately took action, causing Sun Hongbo's face to twitch involuntarily.
"boom!"
The next moment.
An unprecedented surge of Daoist energy instantly flowed into Bai Cang's body.
Even more so, the great road roared and the imperial edicts resounded!
[Congratulations, Dao Lord, on obtaining the "Minor Heavens Qi-Absorbing Elixir Method"]
