#305 - Swallow and refine the wishes of all people!
"That old Qin..."
"Not only is he cunning, but he's also a dog!"
"What 'standing on the side of the Lingzhou people'?"
"That's just bullshit!"
Xu Chengxian swam towards the summit of the back mountain, inwardly complaining.
That abbot is a fool too.
The Qin Envoy will clearly only stand on his own side.
Undeniably, Qin Hong has a conscience.
But definitely not much.
He also doesn't have much intention of exploiting and harming the people.
But to say that he became an official to stand up for the people is pure nonsense.
Xu Chengxian saw the monk's prayer beads on his chest, emitting a faint Buddha light as they spoke.
That should be a magical artifact that can verify whether words come from the heart.
"Carrying a magical artifact and still being fooled, the great monk is also a talent!" He couldn't help but chuckle inwardly.
This is where Qin Hong is cunning.
From beginning to end, he spoke his mind.
It's just that the unspoken meaning in his words fully utilized other people's imagination.
"Fortunately, I didn't plan to give Old Qin too much room to maneuver from the start."
Xu Chengxian now has a lot of experience in dealing with smart people.
That is to always remember and maintain the principle of consistent benefit goals.
Of course, because he used to hang out with the Empress's younger sister and Brother Daojun, although those two initially had anthropomorphic ideas and didn't take Big Brother seriously.
But later on, they were still very loyal.
At least he doesn't worry about being sold out.
Now that it's Qin Hong, of course, he has to be a little more careful.
"But as it stands, Old Qin clearly wants to sit on the sidelines and see my abilities first."
It was confirming this point that made him curl his lips and leave.
Sitting on the mountain to watch the tigers fight?
Take advantage if there's an opportunity, otherwise, we'll talk later?
"Damn it, he actually thought of the same thing as me!"
Qin Hong clearly doesn't like the ruthless style of the Tiancan Temple and Haihun Sect, as it will bury hidden dangers for his career.
The suddenly rising White Maiden Temple, clearly wants to take root in Lingzhou, and is also a righteous god conferred by the Heavenly Dao, promoting the benevolent name of eliminating demons.
In contrast, the latter is clearly more in line with Prefect Qin's ideas.
From what Xu Chengxian occasionally glimpsed of his inner thoughts, this guy is even pondering how to manipulate this White Maiden deity.
After all, there is a saying, 'A gentleman can be deceived with righteousness.'
When it doesn't rain, even the Dragon King statue in the Dragon King Temple can be brought out and flogged.
The White Maiden Temple can, of course, be treated in the same way.
You want the power of incense from the people's worship?
That is the weakness.
With a weakness, there is a way to control it.
With words, you can make the people cry and beg.
With force, you can pull the statue of the god out and whip it.
The Envoy doesn't even need to come forward, just a little hint and instigation, and someone will take care of it for him.
"Damn, his heart is really dirty!" Xu Chengxian cursed.
He knows exactly what Qin Hong is planning now.
This guy is using the people from Tiancan Temple and Haihun Sect to test the cultivation strength of the White Maiden Temple and the forces behind it.
Once it is determined that it can contend with these two...
"Then the gentry families of Lingzhou will be in trouble."
Taking this opportunity, Qin Hong will definitely clean up the local tyrants of Lingzhou cleanly and completely control Lingzhou.
"Hehe, at this time, those family heads locked up in the Lingzhou prison probably never thought that their lives are in my hands, right?"
Xu Chengxian thought, wagging his tail.
At this time, he had already swam to the entrance of the cave.
His divine sense had also been locked on the situation inside the cave.
Therefore, he was not surprised to hear the movement.
"Hey!"
"Ha!"
Slap! Slap!
The one monk and one Taoist, two simpletons, were still playing rock-paper-scissors.
However, the punishment changed from one slap to two slaps.
If it's a tie.
They would simultaneously punch each other in the eye socket.
Xu Chengxian also didn't expect that this game could have new tricks.
These two would even use the spiritual power in their bodies to eliminate the dark circles under their eyes, and then punch them out again.
"...Damn, how boring is this!"
"Hiss hiss! Can you guys take a break!"
He spat out a stream of blood energy, turning his divine sense into a large net, quickly covering and sealing the two people's sea of consciousness and dantian, instantly knocking down this pair of Crouching Dragons and Sleeping Phoenixes.
Then, he deliberately detoured and swam over.
Not because he was afraid of alarming anything, but because he was afraid that foolishness was contagious!
With a slide, he arrived in front of the treasure cauldron.
Just as he was about to leap up, Xu Chengxian stopped again.
He thought about it and decided to play it safe.
"Go!"
With a turn of his body, he transformed into a seven-eight zhang large form, coiling up and filling more than half of this cave.
Then, he spewed out a large cloud of blood energy, turning it into a red cloud, completely covering the treasure cauldron and isolating it from the outside world.
Then, he transformed into a large hand to open the lid of the treasure cauldron.
He doesn't know how to break formations.
So he can only use the simplest method.
Violently unpack the express delivery.
"One force can overcome ten skills, no problem." The isolation barrier has also been set up, and the outside world cannot sense the movement here.
Unless the movement is so great that it shakes the mountain.
"Looking at the appearance of this cauldron, it shouldn't be so." Xu Chengxian pondered, at worst, if something goes wrong, he would swallow this thing into his stomach and seal it with blood energy.
If it's a good thing, of course, it's the best.
If it's really useless, he can take it back to Xiaocui as an incense burner.
Can't go wrong.
Do it!
The blood energy hand stretched out, grabbed the beast-shaped knob on the lid, which was engraved with countless inscriptions and runes.
Carefully lifted it up.
The lid didn't move at all.
"Huh?"
This change made him stunned,
This grab has at least a few thousand catties of strength.
Didn't even manage to lift a cauldron lid?
Immediately, he suddenly had a flash of inspiration, and intuitively changed the lifting to rotating.
He tried it back and forth.
He added tens of thousands of blood energy to the blood hand, and finally sensed a trace of power dissipating.
"There's hope!"
Delay will lead to change, and he has to guard against the abbot going to the meditation room to find him.
Without hesitation, he increased the power again.
Click!
With a series of "click" sounds, as if the lock hole was awakened, the lid of the treasure cauldron was lifted up by rotating.
A very small gap was revealed between it and the mouth of the cauldron.
Whoosh—
A thick and surging power surged out from inside the cauldron.
It instantly spread out.
Xu Chengxian's face changed.
It was only a tiny wisp, and it almost broke through the blood energy red cloud he had arranged!
He quickly spewed out a large amount of blood energy to wrap the treasure cauldron and block the power from spreading.
"What is this?"
He was suspicious in his heart and wanted to put the lid back on first.
But it was too late.
In his astonished gaze, the lid slowly rose, and a rich fragrance followed, assaulting his nostrils.
At this moment, his entire snake seemed to be shrouded in a sacred and solemn aura.
His heartbeat couldn't help but accelerate.
Not excitement.
Feeling the vastness of this power, his heart was pounding with shock!
Tempting, too tempting.
I want to, want to lick it!
"Hiss hiss!"
Xu Chengxian couldn't resist the temptation.
He opened his snake mouth and suddenly swallowed the overflowing power, wrapped in blood energy, into his stomach.
Innate Divine Power—Devour and Refine!

[Congratulations, Host!]
