What Qin Lang said to Immortal Shui Jing was all true. Qin Lang just wanted the Qingcheng Sect to understand how to fight for its own interests. They were all smart people, so there was no need to do too much ideological work. The benefits that Qin Lang and Poisons provided to the Qingcheng Sect were definitely not comparable to that of the Shendao Sect. This alone was enough for the Qingcheng Sect to know which side to stand on.
The Poisons won over the Qingcheng Sect, of course, for their own interests. Pingchuan Province was now the base camp of the Poisons. Although the Qingcheng Sect was only a second-class "sect" in Jianghu, it was deeply rooted in Pingchuan Province after all. If it was not too necessary, Qin Lang did not want to be enemies with the Qingcheng Sect, because there was no deep hatred between him and the Qingcheng Sect. What's more, if the Qingcheng Sect was massacred, the Taoists' counterattack would definitely be extremely strong.
Therefore, Qin Lang continued to deal with the Qingcheng Sect in the same way as before: cooperation and use.
The Qingcheng Sect had value. Through the Qingcheng Sect, Qin Lang could grasp the actions of the Taoists and the Shendao Sect. In this way, if there was a conflict with the Taoists, he would not fall into a passive situation. In addition, through the Qingcheng Sect, Qin Lang could make money by selling elixirs and make connections.
Since going to the Jianghu market once, Qin Lang basically had no interest in it, because most of the people who participated in the market came to buy elixirs. They had no interest in other things, and it was difficult for Qin Lang to get what he needed in the market.
Through the Qingcheng Sect, Qin Lang could turn elixirs into money, and he did not have to worry about being envied. After all, the Qingcheng Sect was the local snake of Pingchuan Province, deeply rooted, and one of the twelve Taoist sects. No one dared to make trouble in the Tai Sui Festival. But if it was Qin Lang, the situation would be completely different. The influence of the Poisons in Jianghu was not as good as that of the Taoists and the Qingcheng Sect, and many people in Jianghu were wary and suspicious of the Poisons. It was originally a perfectly fine spirit pill. If they knew that it came from the Poison Sect, many people would probably suspect that poison had been added to it. Therefore, it was best to auction it through the channel of the Qingcheng Sect. In any case, many people in Jianghu had too much money and were stupid. It was good to squeeze some money out of elixirs. These Jianghu people didn't need much money, but Qin Lang needed a lot of it now.
This was the value of the Qingcheng Sect: an information center and a middleman.
Daoist Shui Jing was also happy to be a middleman, because the Qingcheng Sect could get a generous commission, and also a certain share of the elixirs. Although he didn't know where Qin Lang got so many elixirs, Daoist Shui Jing firmly believed that it was good for the Qingcheng Sect and himself.
After chatting with Immortal Shui Jing for a while, Qin Lang got up and left.
After Qin Lang left, a few old Taoists suddenly came into the room. One of them asked Zhenren Shui Jing, "How was it?"
"He's very strong!" Daoist Water Mirror said. "Now, he can take my life with one finger."
"That's not the point." Another old Taoist shook his head. "Haven't you noticed that since he entered here, the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi around us has been completely sucked away by him? Not a trace is left."
"Elder Jiang is right. This kid is indeed strange. He didn't use his martial arts, but he absorbed the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi around us. It can be seen that this person is indeed unfathomable. No wonder he could suppress Peng Yinglong of the Technique Faction. That Peng Yinglong is a real Martial Saint expert." Another person sighed.
"It's true that the new generation excels the old. I have to admit that."
"Poisons! It seems that this kid is destined to be a poisonous dragon in the future! I wonder if it will set off a bloody storm! "
"Who cares. Our Qingcheng Sect didn't offend him. Besides, we have a cooperation. What's there to worry about?"
"Don't let anyone know about our cooperation with Poisons."
"Of course."
"…"
The attitude of the Qingcheng Sect towards Qin Lang and Poisons almost represented the attitude of the Jianghu people of Pingchuan Province towards Qin Lang. Poisons used to be the "scum" of Jianghu. They were the targets that the righteous sects of Jianghu swore to eliminate. But times were different now. Even the Jianghu had undergone great changes. The people of Jianghu naturally had a different view of Poisons from the past.
If the remnants of Poisons were just clowns, these righteous sects of Jianghu would not mind a "rat crossing the street that everyone wants to beat up" and carry out a vigorous campaign to eliminate evil and defend justice. But the point was that today's Poisons was no longer a rat crossing the street, but a tiger that wanted to eat people.
Everyone could beat up a rat crossing the street and step on it a few times. But against a tiger that wanted to eat people, who would dare to easily challenge it?
Knowing that the Sect Master of Poisons, Qin Lang, had suppressed the Martial Saint expert of the Technique Faction, who would dare to stroke the tiger's whiskers?
After the Qingcheng Sect heard the news, the first thing they did was to further improve their relationship with Qin Lang, so as to avoid getting into trouble. As for the other forces of Jianghu in Pingchuan Province, who would dare to clamor to "eliminate evil and defend justice"?
However, this did not mean that the forces of Jianghu in Pingchuan Province completely recognized the existence of Poisons. They were just waiting for the situation to change, waiting for the further performance of the Technique Faction, waiting for the response of Buddhism and Taoism.
In the end, this was a battle at the top of the Tower of Babel. The forces of Jianghu below the Tower of Babel were not qualified to directly intervene.
The other forces of Jianghu were waiting for the situation to change, but Qin Lang could not wait any longer, and he would not wait any longer. While others were waiting for the situation to change, he would create the situation!
Through the channels of the assassin group, Qin Lang announced in a high-profile manner that the territory of Pingchuan Province had become a forbidden area for the Technique Faction. As long as the disciples of the Technique Faction entered Pingchuan Province, there would only be one end — kill without mercy! At the same time, the assassin group would give sufficient rewards to the "Jianghu people" who killed the disciples of the Technique Faction.
This was a blatant declaration of war against the Technique Faction. At the same time, it also showed everyone that the assassin group was now under the control of Poisons. If anyone thought that they could stir up trouble in the territory of Pingchuan Province, then they must consider the possibility of being hunted down by the assassin group.
Of course, even if the people of the Technique Faction did not enter the territory of Pingchuan Province, Qin Lang would not let them go. This was because there was already a death feud between him and the Technique Faction. Only when one side was completely destroyed could this feud be resolved. The reason why such an announcement was made was just a pretense by Qin Lang. First, it was to prevent the people of the Technique Faction from causing trouble in Pingchuan Province. Second, it was to create an illusion for the people of the Technique Faction, making them think that as long as they did not enter Pingchuan Province, they would be fine. In fact, the assassin group had already begun to collect information about the people of the Technique Faction all over the country. The next step would be to deal with these people.
Moreover, after killing the assassin group, the reward for the people of the Technique Faction was not limited to the territory of Pingchuan Province. In other words, anyone from the Jianghu could exchange the people of the Technique Faction for elixirs — regardless of life or death!
