Chapter 154: Unreasonable (Two-in-One Subscription Request)
On the back mountain of Emei, there was a deep pool.
All the disciples and everyone in the monitoring room stared wide-eyed, looking in the direction pointed by the old headmaster.
And there, they saw a golden lotus flower about to bloom.
Looking at these obviously extraordinary golden lotus flowers, someone couldn't help but take a deep breath.
Then, they exclaimed, "It smells so good!"
The old headmaster glanced at this disciple.
Indeed, the golden lotus flower about to bloom emitted a faint lotus fragrance in the air, but to say it smelled good was purely self-deception.
And even if it did smell good, the old headmaster had already decided not to let these disciples stay here.
The more people there were, the more variables there would be.
He adjusted his thoughts and recalled the message left by the true cultivator who had achieved Dao while fishing.
First, he briefly explained that the lotus flower in this deep pool was called the Golden Spirit Lotus Rice.
Currently, it was just about to bloom and required careful care. Only after it bloomed would there be rewards.
Then, his gaze swept over the crowd.
He decided to divide the disciples who were qualified to come to the deep pool of water and had obtained this Good Fortune into three groups.
Each group would take turns to guard these Golden Spirit Lotus Rice for eight hours a day, ensuring round-the-clock care without any problems.
After calling out one of the groups to stay, he let the junior brother take those reluctant disciples back to the Daoist temple.
The old headmaster sat in the lotus position on a stone, thanks to Su Ping's special care, he gave him some benefits.
The old headmaster's cultivation technique could be considered initiated or even close to completion in just one afternoon.
Coupled with inhaling Spiritual Qi, he now felt warm all over and not at all tired.
He began to instruct the remaining disciples on how to stand and how to identify the state of the Golden Spirit Lotus Rice for care.
Afterwards, the old headmaster took out a communication device and contacted the vice president.
The vice president had already known that Qingmu Temple had experienced another anomaly, and it was related to cultivation.
He was as anxious as ants on a hot pan.
When he saw the old headmaster's call, the vice president breathed a sigh of relief.
He quickly answered the old headmaster's call and put it on speakerphone on the table.
There was no other way. In the vice president's office, several higher-ranking figures were smiling at him!
Fortunately, the old headmaster didn't mention anything about distribution of interests.
He simply mentioned the name of the spiritual object in the deep pool and the fact that it was not yet mature.
Then the old headmaster got to the point.
That was, when the spiritual object appeared, it was likely to attract pests from the surroundings.
In order to protect these spiritual objects, the old headmaster hoped that the vice president could come up with some solutions.
The vice president looked at the important figure sitting in front of him, and after seeing the nod, he loudly agreed.
So, before nightfall...
A large number of helicopters and drones appeared in the conservation area behind Mount Emei. They carried a large amount of related equipment and began to build layers of protective measures centered around the deep pool.
The targets were not only humans and wild animals, but also snakes, insects, rats, and ants.
During this period, there was unrest in the Emei Monkey Conservation Area.
Several particularly strong and agile monkey kings seemed to instinctively sense the presence of the Golden Spirit Lotus Rice.
They rallied their respective monkey groups and attempted to approach the back mountain.
However, this time, these monkeys encountered opponents.
Fully armed soldiers, with no inch of skin exposed, used electric shock guns and smoke bombs against these monkey groups, along with their robotic dogs and drones.
While dispersing the monkey groups, the commanders analyzed a large number of videos and identified the key monkey kings in this incident.
They directly dispatched a team to bring the monkey kings to the research institute after sedating them, wanting to see if these monkeys had also undergone any upgrades.
That's why they suddenly led the monkey groups to the back mountain.
At the same time, the sky was patrolled by drones, creating a cover in the air to prevent birds and flying insects.
And soon after, it blocked dozens of birds that were attracted and swooped down by the Golden Spirit Lotus Rice.
Fortunately, the Golden Spirit Lotus Rice did not attract swarms of insects and ants that are difficult to prevent.
The pest problem, which was considered a great hidden danger in the Immortal World, became unusually simple on the Water Blue Star.
The old master guarded the deep water pool all night.
After receiving assurance from the vice president, there has always been someone remotely monitoring the water pool. Even if a disciple in the Taoist temple suddenly goes crazy, they will be stopped immediately. After changing shifts, the old master finally got up and returned to the temple to rest.
In the control room, the investigators watched the old master return to the temple with envy.
They all knew that the old master must have contacted the true cultivator again.
When these golden spirit lotus rice mature, others may not know, but this old master should be able to benefit from it.
These investigators are also born and raised in the ancient Eastern country, and they also have a dream of immortality and martial arts.
Let's not talk about the unrealistic idea of immortality.
Being able to fly in the air and use various spells to slay demons and monsters with one's own power.
How many people haven't had such fantasies during their adolescence?
At the same time.
Outside the city of Gad, near Lake Nebo.
With the support of Huang Zong and the other six named disciples, enough funds have been raised during this time from the new friends who suddenly went into hiding.
A Gad airport, constructed by multiple Eastern country engineering teams, has already laid out several usable runways and control towers.
While the second phase of construction continues.
There are already passenger planes landing at this airport.
Hundreds of passengers disembarked from the plane and quickly witnessed the unique appearance of Gad City in the region, causing them to curse why those people had to come and open a company in such a remote place.
There are such good health tea bags and surrounding products.
Wouldn't it be better to open them in major coastal cities?
Unfortunately, it is currently purely a seller's market.
These people who come to buy health tea bags have no qualifications to make suggestions.
After all, health tea bags are selling like crazy now!
It has almost reached the point where grabbing them means making a profit.
As long as you can get the goods here, you can make five or six times the profit when you take them back. And if you sell them to the country of cherry blossoms or even farther away, the profit can increase by dozens of times!
Therefore, these people are also showing off their supernatural powers and trying every possible way.
Mr. Huang and the others suddenly discovered in these few weeks that they seemed to have so many relatives and friends.
They even received many hilarious prank calls.
After careful consideration, it was decided that most of the health tea bags would only be sold online.
A small portion would be given to those friendly businesses who invested in them early.
Naturally, the prices have also skyrocketed.
Buying various supplies and hiring security teams still requires a lot of money.
And then there is no third way.
Many people realized that they seemed to have come here in vain.
But these people soon discovered that even if they didn't accomplish anything, the big company behind them still paid them high salaries.
As long as they could stay in Gade City and keep an eye on the next move of the health tea bag producer.
So, apart from Mr. Huang and the others, the second biggest winner became Gade City.
Suddenly, there were so many high-spending customers.
The mayor of Gade City couldn't stop smiling.
The people in the city gradually discovered more opportunities to make money.
Hotels, branded restaurants, hotels, and even gyms, cinemas, amusement parks, etc. gradually increased.
To the point where the officials of Gade City signed a series of agreements with the ancient country in the East, purchasing a large amount of services including electricity and communication to meet the city's rapid growth needs.
"The health tea bags are really popular!"
"Do you know, my friend in the United States told me that the wealthy people there are looking for where they can buy our tea bags."
"We are really famous now, should we raise the price again?"
Mr. Huang and the other named disciples were exercising in a private gym and chatting casually.
Having achieved a small level of cultivation, they have already surpassed the limits of the human body and are playing with fitness equipment like toys.
Road Tycoon frowned slightly and said,
"We just raised the price a week ago, isn't it too hasty to raise it again now?"
"And we all know that the effects of these health tea bags are not as mysterious as they are rumored to be."
"That's the tone we have been promoting externally, these tea bags are only for health, not for curing diseases!"
"At the next gathering, we can ask the teacher if it's possible to increase production."
"Currently, even if the production of these tea bags is increased tenfold, it still can't meet the market demand."
After listening, Mr. Huang also nodded.
Of course, raising the price for short-term profit is the best option.
However, he also lacks some confidence. After all, the Daoist Rat who buried the bones doesn't seem like someone who pursues short-term profits, and he is only concerned with worldly wealth.
They know very well that this Daoist Rat can casually throw out a pile of gold bars without batting an eye.
Ordinary wealth may not be lacking in the eyes of these Transcendents.
Let them sell some small things, maybe even intentionally make videos.
Perhaps there are other intentions behind it, like making money... just as a side benefit?
Thinking of making videos, Mr. Huang remembered the snake woman who shocked everyone last time.
He couldn't help but marvel at how the Daoist Rat is getting more and more powerful and having a great time.
While he was thinking about this, suddenly, Mr. Huang and the others all stopped moving.
After exchanging glances, the six of them disappeared inside the gym.
Outside the gym, security personnel stood guard at the door, faithfully carrying out their duties and not allowing anyone to disturb the bosses.
In fact, with the attention drawn to Nibelung, these security personnel were inevitably infiltrated.
However, with the arrival of talents from all sides, a new balance was formed.
On one hand, they were afraid of being reported by their peers and being kicked out.
On the other hand, the more they delved into it, the more they realized that the ghosts and gods mentioned by those monks might actually exist!
No one could guarantee that the ghosts and gods didn't have mind-reading abilities, or that their every word and action wasn't being monitored.
At least on the surface, they were more dedicated and responsible than the salaried security personnel.
Grotto-Heaven in a teapot.
Burial Ground.
While eating fish head with chopped chili, braised fish tail, and vinegar-braised fish body, Su Ping listened to Mr. Huang and the others' report.
He wasn't surprised that the health-preserving medicine packs became popular.
However, they became popular so quickly because of the big moves he made during this period, which exposed Mr. Huang and the others to various forces.
"You did well."
Su Ping nodded slightly and took out a storage bag, throwing it to Mr. Huang.
"Is this a storage bag similar to a cultivator's storage ring?"
Mr. Huang, who received the bag, was excited to the point that his mouth split open.
The others also looked over curiously.
Su Ping shook his head slightly.
"It's not that mystical, just a convenient storage prop."
"But it's convenient and practical."
"As for the things inside, divide the ones in the iron box among yourselves and improve your strength."
"As for the ones in the wooden box, let's hold an auction."
"Just sell the things inside."
Saying this, Su Ping added:
"They are all antique artworks that neither you nor I need."
"Take the money you've exchanged and use it to order military weapons."
"The rocket launchers you provided last time were very effective. After a simultaneous volley, it weakened the enemy slightly."
After Su Ping finished speaking, Huang Zong and the others were stunned.
They knew that Daoist Shu had enemies.
But were these enemies really that strong?
They remembered that they had provided over a hundred bunker destroyers last time.
With the power of these rocket launchers, even a small hill could be leveled, right?
But according to Daoist Shu, it only weakened the enemy? And only slightly?
Hiss!
Could a cultivator's physical body or defensive spells really be that strong?
And Daoist Shu was able to defeat such a powerful enemy... It seemed that this Burial Ground was not as low-profile as it appeared?
Of course, it could also be that the cultivation world had a very high profile.
Even if it was the low-profile Burial Ground, it would still be terrifying in the eyes of mortals!
Huang Zong and the others couldn't freeload this time.
After all, Su Ping was eating a large blue fish.
Every bite of fish was worth a fishing coin!
They couldn't bear to leave a bite for these named disciples.
But Huang Zong and the others probably didn't care about that.
Inside the iron box were six middle-grade Qi and Blood Pills and six middle-grade Nurturing Pills that had been refined through six rotations.
With these Medicine Pills, which were hard to come by for Immortal World Practitioners, Huang Zong and the others would have no problem reaching the Great Completion of the Martial Dao.
Whether they could become a Great Master like the Qi Refining stage would depend on their aptitude and comprehension.
After Huang Zong and the others returned, they distributed the Medicine Pills and then took out one large wooden box after another.
The six of them took a deep breath and opened one of them together.
Then they understood why these antiques could be sold.
After looking at the Heavenly and Mortal Treasures catalog last time, Huang Zong and the others had studied related knowledge.
Among them, Lu Daheng had a foundation in this area. He couldn't be considered a master, but he wouldn't be fooled by things from last week or yesterday.
As he looked at these antiques, including porcelain and calligraphy, he marveled and understood why their boss had made such a big fuss about the auction.
These were all good things. Even if he wasn't a master, he could still see that these antiques were national treasures!
After all, true national treasures didn't necessarily have much to do with their age.
What was a national treasure in modern times was often a national treasure or a family heirloom in ancient times.
Things used by commoners would probably not be valuable even after a thousand years.
But these were not the main point.
The main point was the artistic style of these antiques and the culture they represented...
It was the same as the meaning expressed by the catalog and the appearance of the snake woman!
That was, beyond their understanding of the world, there really seemed to be other unknown worlds that had equally impressive cultural heritage.
Huang Zong thought that even if these exotic antiques had no Transcendent value, various forces would still fight over them.
Huang Zong glanced at everyone and said in a deep voice,
"I feel like we're becoming fireflies in the dark."
"Brothers, go back and take the Medicine Pills to digest their medicinal power."
"Only with enough strength can we protect ourselves!"
Lu Daheng also nodded and agreed, emphasizing that the world was so big and there was no shortage of unreasonable lunatics.
While they were growing and becoming stronger, they also had to guard against lunatics targeting them!
...
"You didn't buy it?"
"It didn't work even when I used the name of my Koma family?"
"This is unbelievable!"
In Sakura, an elder of the Koma family was furious.
Since Koma Junichiro's strong return, the members of the Koma family had also risen with him.
This elder, in just a few days, had recovered lost artifacts.
These artifacts included but were not limited to shares in large companies, land deeds for large areas, and ancient golden artifacts.
This made him feel elated, and after learning about the health tea bags, he quickly sent someone to try to obtain the distribution rights in the Sakura Kingdom.
Naturally, he was mercilessly rejected.
The Koma family?
A great Yin & Yang master?
In the eyes of Huang Zong and the others, they were nothing!
This Koma elder could only be furious and helpless.
He didn't even dare to inform his nephew, Koma Junichiro, about the situation.
To be honest, with this person who claimed to have received the Yin & Yang master inheritance and was recognized by the fox-faced shrine maiden, after his disappearance and return...
Although the Koma family seemed proud of Koma Junichiro on the surface, at home...
They were becoming more and more afraid of their own Transcendent.
They always felt that the Cultivation Technique their Transcendent practiced was becoming more and more sinister.
Although, based on the classics, Yin & Yang masters did indeed have sinister methods.
But feeling it personally made them instinctively terrified!
"His Highness has come out of seclusion!"
"He's currently looking for the elders to hold a meeting!"
Suddenly, Elder's grandson ran in and delivered news that made Elder's face slightly change color.
Elder He Mao quickly drank some water to calm himself down, then went to the main hall.
Even before approaching the main hall, Elder He Mao felt a chilling coldness rushing towards him.
It made his spine shiver, and he felt the old leg problem acting up again.
He gritted his teeth and pushed open the door despite feeling uncomfortable.
He saw the pale face and deep black eyes of He Mao Chunichiro.
Elder He Mao immediately retreated a step out of fear, then realized he had lost his composure and quickly lowered his head to find his place.
He didn't dare to continue looking at He Mao Chunichiro.
Instinctively, he felt that this great nephew was becoming less and less like a person.
He Mao Chunichiro emitted a constant gloomy aura.
After the Ghostly Body entered his Qi Refining, it began to operate spontaneously, causing him to involuntarily absorb the power of cold Yin, and then reject it due to a lack of Spiritual Qi, resulting in discomfort.
This created an area around him where no one dared to approach.
It also made him become cold and ruthless in character.
At the same time, he developed an interest in consuming raw and cold-blooded food.
Although he didn't go as far as consuming human blood, he did eat a lot of wild deer raw.
"The Prime Minister has sent a message. The venue for the ceremony has been prepared."
"The monks and priests have also accepted my invitation and are ready."
"I am ready to start a new ritual immediately, hoping to summon a controlled shikigami."
"All of you are the direct bloodline of the He Mao clan. I hope you can participate together."
After He Mao Chunichiro finished speaking, he saw everyone, including the clan leader, bowing their heads and not daring to express their opinions.
He furrowed his brows slightly.
He became more and more angry as he thought about how useless his own clan members were.
The air became even colder.
The clan leader sensed that something was wrong and quickly came out to express his support, promising not to disappoint everyone's expectations!
The other elders also came to their senses and expressed their support.
Only then did He Mao Chunichiro's expression soften slightly.
After the meeting ended.
These people immediately ran to the clan leader to complain.
However, how could the clan leader dare to oppose He Mao Chunichiro's decision?
He could only comfort these elderly people continuously.
He Mao Chunichiro, as a member of the He Mao clan, would definitely take care of his fellow clan members.
And then!
The He Mao clan was arranged to be behind the altar of the ceremony.
Based on the anomaly during the previous ceremony, it was certain that there would be some price to pay around the altar.
After the previous ceremony, several monks and priests who had their Mental Energy absorbed by the three-tailed fox were still recuperating in the hospital.
There were even several elderly people who were too weak to recover and had to be buried.
The He Mao clan could only console themselves that He Mao Chunichiro now possessed Transcendent power.
It was unlikely that there would be any more problems.
As for He Mao Chunichiro, at this moment, he appeared to be waiting in a secret room for the venue to be fully prepared and the prelude to the ceremony to end.
In fact, he had already been summoned back into the Grotto-Heaven.
The fox-faced priestess personally assessed his cultivation progress during this time and gave him a bottle of Medicine Pill to assist in the ceremony.
After seeing He Mao Chunichiro off, Su Ping appeared by the side of the fox-faced priestess, stroking his chin.
"So this is one of the effects of the Ghostly Body?"
"Even at the Qi Refining stage, it can spontaneously absorb Yin Qi from the heavens and earth."
"However, does this mean that if someone with this physique starts cultivating in the cultivation world, they will be exposed?"
Su Ping thought of the Ascension Ceremony held by the major sects.
With this physique, once they entered the Outer Sect, they would most likely be exposed.
But it seemed that there hadn't been any news of someone with this kind of spiritual body for so many years.
It seemed that either the probability of this kind of spiritual body appearing was extremely low, or it appeared and was immediately hidden by the immortal sects on purpose.
Su Ping took a moment to rest.
Then he left the Grotto-Heaven and headed to Sakura City.
As he approached Sakura City.
Su Ping noticed that it seemed like there was a festival going on.
Decorations related to Yin & Yang Masters were hung everywhere.
Many people were parading the streets with various strange ritual items.
Su Ping paused and glanced at the girls wearing shrine maiden outfits.
He came to a conclusion that the fox-faced priestess, Sakura, was here.
Then, Su Ping withdrew his consciousness and released his Divine Sense to envelop the location of the ceremony.
The ceremony, just like the previous one, was held in the park in front of the imperial palace.
The same location, the same host.
But at this moment, He Mao Chunichiro could already be considered a cultivator.
The Cultivation Technique he displayed was also different.
As the auspicious time arrived.
The fox-faced priestesses around the periphery began to chant and sing.
Hundreds of monks and priests sat in the Lotus Position around the altar, each with their own thoughts, and began visualizing as required.
Accompanied by Su Ping activating the formation and using Spirit Stones as a source to release Spiritual Qi.
He Mao Chunichiro, who had been standing on the altar with his eyes closed, immediately opened his eyes and muttered incomprehensible spells...
