You're a Cheat, So How Could Your Creations Be Anything Like an Ordinary Person's?
Little B, have you forgotten that in the entire Azure Cloud Sect, the one who bullied Han Shishan the most was Lu Ping?
Lu Ping chose A.
[You chose A.]
"You don't care about Han Shishan's situation," Han Shishan suddenly spoke, his voice desolate.
"Fellow Daoist, the sect is currently experiencing a shortage of Mystic Marrow Jade, and the Sect Master has limited the number that disciples can purchase. Therefore, this is all we can gather for now."
After explaining, Han Shishan paused, then continued,
"The Sect Master has ordered me to be dispatched to the border between the Azure Dragon Domain and the Domain of Chaos to serve as the guardian elder of the Mystic Marrow Jade Vein."
"We will depart in three days."
You paused slightly.
The Azure Cloud Sect is a large and powerful family with numerous mineral veins.
[However, for a typical mine-guarding mission, sending a Golden Core Perfection at their peak is already considered the best you can do.]
[Sending a Nascent Soul Perfection elder from the External Affairs Hall to guard the mine?]
[This isn't going to guard a mine; it's clearly being exiled to the frontier.]
[Considering Han Shishan's situation of being targeted within the sect, you immediately realized what was happening.]
[Within the Azure Cloud Sect's upper echelons, various factions have joined forces to oust Han Shishan.]
[Han Shishan's high-profile marriage to Foundation Establishment female cultivator in Qingyang City was certainly due to his intention to cultivate the Supreme Emotion-Slaying Scripture. However, it was also a smokescreen, making his opponents believe that he had lost his will to fight.]
This was originally a brilliant move, a strategic retreat to advance.
[Unexpectedly, this gave his adversary a handle to use against him, who then used the pretext of his flawed Dao Heart to launch an attack.]
You didn't reply, you just quietly looked at him.
[Han Shishan didn't seem to expect you to say anything; he let out a bitter laugh.]
"After fighting in the sect for so many years, I have ultimately lost."
"That mine is near the Domain of Chaos, and things have been quite turbulent there lately. The Sect Master sent me there with the intention of using someone else to do his dirty work."
"I fear that this time, I will not be able to leave unscathed."
"I need to Qingyang City to arrange the Han Household's future."
[After he finished speaking, he turned to leave.]
[Options pop up.]
[A: You and Han Shishan have only ever been using each other; you don't care whether he lives or dies.]
[B: The saying goes, "Even when beating a dog, one should consider its owner..."]
[C: Hands over a "Labor Arbitration Application": "Old Han, this paid exile is an illegal job transfer. Take this document, we're going to the Heavenly Certification Alliance to sue the Azure Cloud Sect until it goes bankrupt!"]
Lu Ping hesitated this time.
I was just thinking, "Don't meddle in other people's business."
But Little B is right, "You have to consider the owner before you beat a dog."
The highest level the Azure Cloud Sect can achieve is merely a minor Spirit Transformation.
Lu Ping's eyes darkened slightly, and he chose B.
[You chose B.]
[You look at Han Shishan's hunched back.]
[You know very well that your relationship with Han Shishan is nothing more than a naked act of mutual exploitation.]
[But it must be admitted that during this period, Lao Han was a qualified "workhorse" for the Big Company.]
[He ran errands for you to dispose of stolen goods, collected high-level books for you, and even paid for them out of his own pocket.]
[Most importantly, you now need a stable environment for seclusion to deduce the "As-If-Original Seal" and the talisman that conceals Heavenly Secrets.]
If he really dies out there, it will be very detrimental to your plans.
Where are you going to find another Nascent Soul Perfection grip on?
"Elder Han, please wait."
[You didn't get up, you just waved your hand gently.]
[Several objects were placed on the jade table.]
Han Shishan stopped, turned around, and his gaze fell on the table.
You slightly raise your chin, gesturing for him to take it.
"Take these: a bottle of Spirit-Winding Thread and a bottle of Spirit-Chaos Lure."
Upon hearing the words "Spirit-Winding Thread," Han Shishan trembled violently, and the muscles in his cheeks twitched uncontrollably.
[Back in the Greenwood Sect, he had already experienced the terror of the Spirit-Winding Thread firsthand.]
"You know how to use these two things, right? I don't need to teach you, do I?"
You picked up your teacup and took a sip.
Han Shishan's apple bobbed.
He stepped forward and grasped the two Jade Bottles in his hands.
[You flicked your finger again, and a Jade Talisman floated in front of him.]
"Take this Random Teleportation Talisman with you too."
A flicker of hesitation crossed Han Shishan's eyes.
[Ordinary Random Teleportation Talisman are easily disrupted by spatial tremors in front of the Nascent Soul Realm, thus being interrupted.]
[You naturally know what he's thinking.]
[In the previous simulation, you were easily interrupted by the Household Ancestor Zhao when you activated the teleportation talisman with only Foundation Establishment cultivation.]
[But, can the teleportation talisman you craft be the same as a regular one?]
[Any product from this brand is guaranteed to be of high quality.]
"Teleportation talismans on the market can be interrupted by a mere wave of the hand by the Nascent Soul Realm cultivator."
You glanced at him.
"But this one of mine, unless crushed on the spot by Spirit Transformation Stage, cannot be held back by a typical Nascent Soul Perfection."
[Finally, you also gave Han Shishan a set of Formation Plates, the Five Elements Heaven-Trapping Formation, which is also a powerful tool for dealing with Nascent Soul Cultivators.]
Han Shishan looked at you with an extremely complicated expression.
[You choked him, occupied his cave abode, stole his Contribution Points, and made him run errands.]
[But at the crucial moment, you stepped in to help him.]
He took a deep breath and carefully put the items into his Storage Bag.
He bowed deeply to you before turning and pushing open the Stone Gate.
[You gaze in the direction Han Shishan disappeared, and begin to ponder.]
[Within the Azure Cloud Sect, is there a limit to the number of Mystic Marrow Jade that disciples can purchase?]
[At the same time, Han Shishan was also sent to guard the Xuan Mystic Marrow Jade Vein.]
[Do you want this mine, or not?]
[Furthermore, once the mine changes hands or ceases production, the price of Mystic Marrow Jade, the most basic material for crafting high-level Talisman, will inevitably skyrocket.]
Whether or not Mystic Marrow Jade can be obtained reliably in the future is entirely unknown.
[Your deduction of concealing the Heavenly Secrets is not yet complete.]
You always feel that the Azure Cloud Sect's plans are shrouded in mystery.
[You activated the Formless Myriad-Breath Cloak, and with a flicker, left the cave abode.]
[You sped along and arrived in Qingyang City, then went straight into the Azure Dragon Merchant Association.]
[In the familiar private room, you see Shen Yuerong again.]
[Options pop up.]
[A: Conceal your cultivation level, disguise yourself as Foundation Establishment Rogue Cultivator, and act discreetly.]
[B: I'm not pretending anymore, I'm coming clean, you're the Nascent Soul monster.]
[C: Bidding for Spirit Stone: "Shopkeeper Shen, let's launch the Double Eleven for the mineral industry! I want to buy all the Mystic Marrow Jade, and while I'm at it, acquire the shares of the Azure Dragon Merchant Association."]
