Chapter 1275 The Three Less

    His corners of the mouth raised a bit, and the desire bursting from his eyes was more intense.

    "Still not sure... Elder Luo, what do you intend to give me for Iron Monastery?" Zhang Zhiyì asked eagerly afterwards.

    Their attitude has completely lost the initial rigidity.

    After seeing Yang Shen possession, they could hardly generate the desire to fight.

    "The essence of the Corpse Dan is evil. If it is used on Zhang Xiaozhuguan Master, and any aftereffects occur, it may be difficult to solve. However, these two pills are completely compatible with Zhang Xiaozhuguan Master's current situation." I raised my hand, and two pills lay in my palm.

    One is white stained with blood, refined from the left arm of a benevolent corpse.

    One looks as if there are dozens of faces struggling and lingering.

    "This one, refined from a benevolent corpse, should be a weaker Corpse Dan? Its vitality might be enough to disperse the old poison wounds on you, and this pill, which locks the soul and does not let it escape, just happens to solve the side effects of that medicine from the eight households?" My tone was not affirmative.

    Wu Jinluan's face slightly changed, and he said, "Elder Luo, you..."

    I nodded slightly at him, and Wu Jinluan closed his mouth, while the other teachers slightly appeared to be unwilling, confused, and perplexed.

    Zhang Zhiyi's face showed an even greater, more intense happiness.

    Liu Taiyuan nodded heavily, saying, "Very good! Very good! Elder Luo is indeed a person of great heart and benevolence, who does not mind my previous attitude towards Tieshan Mountain. It is my problem, and I apologize to Elder Luo."

    Will Liu Taiyuan apologize normally?

    He also knows he has an issue.

    What I gave him now is unexpected, and saying a few more platitudes won't cause any harm and will make Iron Monastery more transparent.

    "If Zhang Xiaozhuguan Master recovers, Iron Monastery will not need to get involved in the matter of the eight households," I added.

    "This..." Liu Taiyuan was stunned, and for a while, he didn't say anything.

    I have two purposes. Firstly, if there is even a 1% risk with this pill, I would not dare to give it to the people around me, whether it's Jia Qisi's death, Jinlun's death, or the death of Xiao Zhauguan from Yunjin Mountain.

    If Iron Monastery can turn their backs on us so easily, then if they are willing to take the pills, it won't count as me seeking them out to test for poison.

    If the pill is effective, we can use both hands: one to target the eight households, and the other to find the disciples of Fangshi Daheng and plot against our dwarf.

    In addition, the most important thing is that Iron Monastery is too difficult to control. In fact, it's not called control. The cooperation with them is too subtle, and as long as there is the slightest enticement, they will turn their backs on you.

    Such a team going to the entrance of the Baizhai Mountain would be too prone to accidents. If they encounter someone like Fangshi Daheng who can sway people, wouldn't Iron Monastery immediately turn against us?

    Iron Monastery Daoists are strong, but such strength becomes a hidden danger. It's better to avoid it.

    "Indeed, if Zhiyi recovers, there's no need for us to intervene in such a secluded mountain sect as Baizhai. However, if Elder Luo wishes, Iron Monastery will still step in," Liu Taiyuan said again.

    His words were also very clever. He eagerly wants to exclude Iron Monastery and promises me benefits, but they need me to ask them.

    "Let's see." I did not give a clear answer.

    Zhang Zhiyi stepped forward, raising his hands slightly, and I handed over the two pills to him.

    "It seems like... holding this pill in my hand makes me feel more at ease, and I don't have that feeling of being careless about my soul anymore!" Zhang Zhiyi became even more delighted: "Yes, the other pill also makes my body feel very comfortable."

    Not only Zhang Zhiyi felt this way, but several deities who had emerged from his body, including the deities that had emerged from the other deity-hunting Daoists, all climbed out and showed great desire.

    "Back to the mountain! Let Grandpa examine it first, then I'll take the medicine to ensure there are no mistakes!" Zhang Zhiyi spoke with confidence.

    "Elder Luo, please!" Liu Taiyuan made a gesture.

    I walked very slowly, and the burden caused by the possession of Yang Shen was too great to recover within a short period of time. The people from Iron Monastery were not in a hurry, and our relationship was as if we had returned to the beginning when we first came here.

    Although Liu Taiyuan was seriously injured, he had always been overjoyed.

    Nevertheless, the Corpse Dan is in my hands.

    The gains from Iron Monastery were no small achievement. Everyone was carrying a lot of classical books, and the other pills refined by the Fangshi were plentiful.

    Most importantly, Zhang Zhiyi's problem has been publicly resolved, so it's natural for them to be pleased.

    "Cough, cough, I have one more thing." Suddenly, Liu Taiyuan spoke with bright eyes.

    "Let's hear what Liumu Master has to say," responded Wu Jinluan.

    "We all have something to gain from this trip, Elder Luo has obtained the Corpse Dan. So, next time, shouldn't it be Iron Monastery's turn to get an item? Hahaha, there are still many large tombs in the Heishuijiang Lin area of Shengjing. I think we can discuss the next action after Elder Luo recovers," Liu Taiyuan said seriously.

    Wu Jinluan was stunned.

    The teachers had a slight different look on their faces.

    It's not good to say directly, but I've noticed. They're beginning to think that Liu Taiyuan is too thick-skinned, even a bit... shameless.

    We obtained the Corpse Dan?

    They were going to forcefully take it, and they had already torn a face off with us once, not sharing with us.

    Now, Liu Taiyuan's words shifted back again, talking about a matter of priority.

    I remained silent.

    The Corpse Dan... is the breakthrough opportunity mentioned by Lao Gong. It is also a chance for a breakthrough. The effects and problems of the evil corpse pill will definitely be different from those of the benevolent corpse pill.

    Whether it can be used, and whether one dares to use it, is still a question.

    For me, besides experiencing the master possessing me once because of his strength, I haven't gained much insight.

    Moreover, there were no other gains.

    No news has been received from the various Taoist temples.

    There is no news from the ancient Qiang City. We may need to cooperate with Iron Monastery again when it's time for the viewing ceremony.

    So I want the next benevolent corpse pill.

    Should this evil corpse pill also be given to them?

    For a moment, I was in a dilemma and hesitated.

    I could give the previous two kinds of pills without hesitation because they didn't offer me substantial help. The evil corpse pill, at least, is somewhat useful.

    This matter cannot be decided now. I need to weigh and consider it carefully.

    I didn't answer, and Wu Jinluan and others wouldn't have answered first either. Liu Taiyuan didn't rush to ask either, so we just walked leisurely.

    The sunlight was not as blinding, it was the afternoon, close to sunset.

    After walking for a long time, Wu Jinluan suddenly said, "There seems to be something wrong."

    "What's wrong, Mr. Wu?" I felt a slight worry in my heart.

    Wu Jinluan stopped walking, swept over all of us, and then looked back at the rear.

    Liu Taiyuan, Zhang Zhiyi, and the other deity-hunting Daoists all came to a stop, looking very perplexed.

    "Don't you notice? Three people are missing." In an instant, Wu Jinluan's face turned extremely ugly: "Excluding Liu Deputy Master and Zhang Xiao Master, there are twenty of you deity-hunting Daoists. How can there be only seventeen now?"
