“Throw them out!”
Lu Ming didn't even think twice before rejecting Li Busan and Li Busi’s “reasonable” request.
Was he really that kind of person?
When dealing with enemies, he always wiped them out completely, leaving absolutely no loose ends.
How could he possibly agree to such a request?
Clearly, this kind of request didn't align with the core values of this world.
He definitely wouldn't agree to it.
For people like them, he absolutely couldn't let them have their way.
“Sigh... Sigh... Senior, we beg you, please poison us...”
The two were thrown out by Niu Lansan and his brother, still shouting as they went.
The two brothers, Li Busan and Li Busi, looked at each other.
“Brother, what do we do? Does Senior look down on us?”
Li Busan was also quite depressed.
“No, we have to achieve some results. If Senior doesn't poison us, my heart won't be at ease!”
“Brother, you're right! Right now, my neck feels cold, like my head is about to fall off...”
Li Busi also nodded in agreement.
In the shadows, Lu Ming's mouth twitched as he listened to them.
Then, with a flash of his body, he returned to the Qingshan Sect.
“Boss, why didn't you kill them?” Big Yellow asked in confusion.
“If we kill them and they have something like soul tablets, wouldn't that expose that there's a problem here?”
“Then we could just capture them?”
“What if they have some kind of tracking device on them?”
Hearing Lu Ming's words, Wang Defa's mouth twitched. Was this guy overthinking things a bit too much?
“Then aren't you afraid they'll go back and report?” Wang Defa asked, puzzled.
“I'm not afraid. They won't dare go back because they've already betrayed that Nine Thousand Years fellow!”
When Wang Defa and the others heard this, they realized it made sense.
But it didn't matter. With an existence like the Grand Elder protecting them, the people of the Qingshan Sect would definitely be fine.
Immediately after, Lu Ming called everyone together for a meeting.
“The Xinghe Dynasty's Nine Thousand Years is asking around about our Qingshan Sect. I don't know what his purpose is, so I plan to send two people to investigate...”
Hearing this, Diao San and the others nodded in agreement.
“Great Sect Master, make the arrangements!” Diao San spoke up at this moment. “After all, you established the Heavenly Demon Sect back then specifically to gather intelligence.”
However, for a long time now, they hadn't played any useful role, doing nothing but running around after Lu Ming every day.
Lu Ming nodded and arranged, “Diao San and Fu Chen, you two will go to the Xinghe Dynasty to find out what exactly this Nine Thousand Years is planning.”
For some reason, Lu Ming always felt that this person harbored hostility toward the Qingshan Sect...
“Yes!” Diao San and Fu Chen stood up and complied.
Then, Lu Ming looked at the rest of the group. “Is anyone willing to go to the Northern Province?”
He decided to scatter Diao San and the others. He didn't expect them to uncover any deep secrets.
As long as they could find out when major events happened, that would be enough.
At least they wouldn't be completely in the dark...
Since the Northern Province was the territory of demonic cultivators, he decided to ask for their input first.
“I'll go!” At this moment, Huang Tianbao stood up and spoke.
Lu Ming was somewhat surprised. He hadn't expected Huang Tianbao to want to go to the Northern Province.
“Third Sect Master, let us go instead!” Just then, Niu Lansan and his brother stood up. “We used to stay in the Northern Province, so we're more familiar with it...”
Huang Tianbao shook his head. “It's better if I go. I feel like my technique is more suited to the Northern Province...”
Since returning to the Eastern Province, he had realized that although he could absorb spiritual energy to cultivate, the effect wasn't as good as when he was in the Northern Province.
Spiritual energy mixed with death energy and blood energy could make his cultivation speed much faster.
Besides, his Hundred Million Soul Disk also seemed more appropriate for the Northern Province.
After all, in a place like the Northern Province, taking it out and using it was perfectly normal.
But if he took it out in the Eastern Province, the scene of it billowing thick black smoke would make many people think a demonic cultivator had appeared.
Even though he wasn't a demonic cultivator, and it was just that his spiritual root, technique, and weapon somewhat resembled those of a demonic cultivator.
“Old Third, is there really no problem?” Lu Ming couldn't help but ask. In fact, he had also noticed Huang Tianbao's issue.
That was, he was indeed better suited for the Northern Province.
“Old Third, you should stay in the Eastern Province. If you're in the Northern Province all by yourself, you're going to cry because you miss us again...”
As soon as Big Yellow spoke, everyone's mouths twitched.
They quickly lowered their heads, wondering if they had just overheard some secret they shouldn't have.
Huang Tianbao was utterly speechless. “Second Senior Brother, I was young back then...”
Before Huang Tianbao could finish his sentence, Big Yellow interrupted him, “Please, when we came back earlier, you even hugged the Grand Elder and cried...”
“That was a genuine expression of emotion...”
“Alright, Old Third will go to the Northern Province, along with Niu Lansan and Niu Lansi...” Seeing that Big Yellow wanted to say more, Lu Ming quickly cut him off, lest he end up making Old Third cry again.
“Yes!” The Niu brothers quickly stood up and replied.
“For the Haoran Sect's territory, Fei Jiujin and Bai Xiaofei will go...”
“Yes!”
“For the Dingyuan Sect's territory, Niu Er and Fang Shan...”
“Yes!”
“For the Zixuan Sect's territory, Zhang Shangfei and Chen Shi...”
“Yes!”
...
Once Lu Ming finished making the assignments, he brought out a row of large washbasins.
The moment the basins appeared, the entire room was instantly filled with a rich aroma of pills.
“Help yourselves. Take whatever pills you need, and take plenty. Don't run out while you're out there...”
These were the pills Lu Ming had refined in his spare time.
Since these people were going out, it was better for them to carry more.
Seeing the several large basins filled to the brim with pills before them, everyone's mouths twitched.
Brother, other people's pills are kept in pill bottles, each about the size of a fist.
This was the first time they had ever seen pills stored in washbasins.
If others found out about this, who knew if they would start cursing!
“What are you looking at? Take them, quick! These are all clean basins. I didn't use any foot basins or chamber pots for this...”
Everyone's mouths twitched again. Is that what we meant?
Well, there was nothing they could do when they had such a multi-talented Sect Master.
Like customers at a buffet, everyone took the pills they needed.
Looking at the remaining pills in the basins, Lu Ming said, “Divide all of these among yourselves!”
“Great Sect Master, we've already taken enough!”
“I even have enough pills for the Golden Core stage...” everyone spoke up one after another.
Lu Ming frowned as he looked at the pills in the basins. “Hey, Old Man Wang, take more. You have the lowest cultivation... I don't care how you take these pills. You must eat enough of them to reach the Golden Core stage this year. If you can't break through, don't blame me for force-feeding you...”
Wang Defa trembled all over, a bitter smile on his face. “Great Sect Master, this kind of thing also requires comprehension. You're making things a bit difficult for me...”
In reality, he was practically crying inside. Ah! He really wanted to tell Lu Ming that he was actually at the Soul Transformation stage. He needed Soul Transformation stage pills...
But he held it back. It wasn't the right time yet...
“I don't care. You must eat your way to the Golden Core stage...”
With that, Lu Ming swept the remaining pills on the ground directly into a storage bag and handed it all to Wang Defa.
Wang Defa looked at the storage bag in his hand. Was he really supposed to eat these like meals?
