"Master Bai is a distinguished guest of Heshan. How could I possibly fight with you?"
Ma Jiu Zhenjun gritted his teeth and said with a forced smile, "The sect leader has never allowed anyone to disturb us. If I were to make a move, wouldn't that give others something to criticize?"
Bai Cang said calmly, "Even if you don't make a move, I will still demand an explanation from Yao Zhenjun!"
Upon hearing this, Ma Jiu Zhenjun's expression became even more colorful, changing like a carousel.
Suddenly, he sighed with a desolate expression, "I thought that since we came from the same school, I might get some preferential treatment."
"I never expected Master Bai to be so ruthless, keeping people at arm's length."
"Fine, fine, if that's how it is, then I won't make a fool of myself."
"Let's give this to Master Bai as a token of our apology!"
After saying that, Ma Jiu Zhenjun threw the bone fragment on the ground and turned to leave without looking back.
"Goodbye and don't come back!"
Bai Cang sneered and reached out to grab the bone fragment.
"boom!"
The next moment.
Even through layers of magical power, the Daoist rhyme still rose and the imperial voice resounded.
[Nine Li Killing Prison Formation: Masterful]
A myriad of Daoist principles surge forth, and boundless insights rise.
In a mere instant, Bai Cang had already mastered a killing formation recorded in the bone fragment. "It's actually the Yu Dao Killing Formation?"
"Perhaps it can merge with the Universe Illumination Array to help me master the Path of the Universe!"
Bai Cang was lost in thought, unaware that Ma Jiu Zhenjun, who was almost at the end of his line of sight, had a playful smile on his lips.
"Give this item to Yao Zhenjun for disposal!"
Just then, Bai Cang discarded the bone fragment as if it were trash, tossing it to Fang Baoliu and saying, "Please pass on a message to Yao Zhenjun for me: I need an explanation for what happened today."
"If you don't give me a satisfactory explanation, don't blame me for reporting you to the teacher and giving him a good dressing down!"
Upon hearing this, the smile on Ma Jiu Zhenjun's face immediately froze.
There was even an urge to turn back and take back the bone fragments.
"Hmph! Master Bai is so ruthless, be careful you don't end up like Han Qinhu!"
Unable to bear it any longer, Ma Jiu Zhenjun finally uttered a harsh remark in a cold voice.
Then, with a flick of his sleeve, he angrily transformed into a streak of light and disappeared into the sky.
Bai Cang sneered repeatedly upon hearing this, completely disregarding the "threat."
You think you can catch me with such a little trick?
I've already taken the bait, and now the hook is right in your face. What are you going to do about it?
Bai Cang was even somewhat looking forward to the possibility that Ma Jiu Zhenjun would be unable to resist taking action against him.
After all, what he did was no different from catching an 800-pound fish and then cutting its midline right in front of it.
Which angler could tolerate such humiliation?
At the headquarters of Heshandao, fighting against Heshan Zhenjun is undoubtedly the best choice, with almost no danger.
After all, Heshan Dao and Venerable Tianhe had some ties, and they were well aware of how terrifying this old Bi Deng was.
Therefore, Heshan Zhenjun would never dare to kill him, a "personal disciple of the Tianhe Sect".
But Bai Cang had no scruples when he started, and he would definitely try to kill anyone he found.
This kind of completely unfair battle can ensure one's own safety, practice one's methods, and test one's strength. Why not do it?
Unfortunately, Ma Jiu was still a bit too timid; he was surprisingly patient.
He's obviously a greenhorn, a disgrace to all anglers!
Why don't you dare to fight me?
"Thank you for your kindness, sir!"
Just then, Fang Baoliu suddenly knelt down and bowed to Bai Cang.
Seeing this, Bai Cang was not surprised, but simply chuckled and said, "What benefits did Yao Zhenjun give to your Fang family?"
From the moment she uttered her first "Master," Bai Cang knew that Yao Zhenjun had already begun his operation.
"The sect leader promised to refine an outer elixir for our Fang family within thirty years!"
Fang Baoliu touched his forehead to the ground and said respectfully, "However, my great-uncle has not replied. I must receive your grace before I dare to reply to the sect leader."
Bai Cang was taken aback upon hearing this. "What a generous offer! What benefits did the Fang family promise you?"
One external core is equivalent to promising the Fang family a future as a Dan realm aristocratic family.
After all, as long as the Fang family's Divine Light True Person lineage continues, they can refine external cores and advance to become pseudo-core cultivators.
Moreover, a brand-new elixir has a shelf life of at least a thousand years.
Although the lifespan of a pseudo-core cultivator is the same as that of a Dao Foundation True Person.
However, even a False Core cultivator is still a Core cultivator, and their combat power is incomparable to that of a Foundation Establishment True Person.
Even a True Immortal of Divine Light has almost no ability to fight against a Pseudo-Core cultivator.
Admittedly, the success rate of Shenguang Zhenren in refining external elixirs was not 100%.
However, for a family like the Fang family of Yujin Mountain, whose lineage has been passed down through generations, it is not difficult for each generation to produce a Divine Light True Person.
Even if the refining fails and one dies, as long as the external elixir remains, there is the potential to make a comeback.
At most, it's just a temporary period of dormancy; eventually, it will rise again.
The difference between a Dao Foundation family and a Dan Realm family is probably self-evident.
It can be said that with an external elixir in hand, the Fang family of Yujin Mountain can be ranked among the top in Heshan within a thousand years.
Most importantly, refining external elixirs is no easy task.
Even with the resources of Heshan Road, it would probably have to bleed a lot of money.
The inner core of a demon cultivator at the True Core Monarch level alone was enough to empty half of the entire Heshan Dao's treasury.
In fact, external alchemy has many advantages, and fake alchemy practitioners are not the mainstream in the cultivation world today.
The most crucial point is: the price-performance ratio is too low!
Killing a demon cultivator comparable to a True Core Monarch is the only way to "create" a fake Core cultivator; it doesn't seem like a worthwhile deal.
Not to mention that refining external elixirs requires a massive amount of resources.
The most direct comparison is that when Venerable Tianhe "borrowed" the sect's signature technique, the "Seven Killings Primordial Spirit Technique," from Heshan Dao, he only promised to refine three external pills for Heshan Dao.
Later, due to some unforeseen circumstances, and needing to use the name of Heshan Dao to do things again, he promised to give out four more external pills.
This elevated the "Nine Peaks of Heshan Competing for the Heavenly Gate" to the level of "Sixteen True Lords Guarding Heshan"!
That's why Bai Cang said that Yao Zhenjun had "a very grand gesture".
This clearly shows that they are willing to do anything to get him onto the Heshan Road's war chariot.
The Fang family should obviously be very clear about this.
That's why Bai Cang asked Fang Baoliu: What benefits did the Fang family promise her?
In fact, the benefits given to Fang Baoliu are the same benefits given to Bai Cang.
Otherwise, would she dare to "beg for favors" from Bai Cang?
Do you really think she was made from rare and precious materials?
Bai Cang had anticipated this and did not outright refuse.
The reason he didn't accept Yao Zhenjun's benefits but instead went through the Fang family and Fang Baoliu was simply to make it easier to "renege on his debts"!
Yao Zhenjun, or rather the entire Heshan Road, couldn't renege on his debts. But wouldn't the Fang family of Yujin Mountain dare to renege on their debts?
What? You're talking about cause and effect?
I have the supernatural power of "遁甲" (遁甲, meaning "hiding armor") protecting me; how could ordinary karma possibly touch me?
However, it also depends on whether the Fang family is sensible and whether the conditions they offer are sufficient.
If all you're thinking about is using Fang Baoliu to exchange for the "Great Benevolent Man Bai's" external elixir...
Then the Fang family has no reason to exist!
