Li Qingshan raised his head. "Alright, I agree!"
He could kill the Zombie Daoist with Little Ann, but killing the fifth layer Qi Practitioner Qian Yannian could be described as a coincidence. Even an idiot would know that he was hiding something if he killed a sixth layer Qi Practitioner. Who knew how many probing gazes it would lead to. Yet, he just happened to have a secret that he could not afford to look into.
And, his gaze was not limited to the items in the Zombie Daoist's hundred treasures pouch. The reward that the Hawkwolf Guard had offered to the Zombie Daoist amounted to over ten thousand points of contribution. Five points of contribution could be exchanged for a Qi Gathering pill, so that was over two thousand Qi Gathering pills. That was the true bulk of the reward. Working with these disciples of mohism would allow him to obtain these points of contribution in a reasonable manner without raising any suspicion.
Zhang Lanqing and the others were all overjoyed, while Hao Pingyang sniggered.
Afterwards, Li Qingshan said, "Though I'm not too satisfied with this split."
Zhang Lanqing and the others looked at one another, while Hao Pingyang frowned heavily. He was still dissatisfied with seventy percent? Wasn't he a little too greedy? Even worse, if Li Qingshan demanded an exorbitant price, he would have to agree to it.
Li Qingshan smiled. "Thirty percent is enough for me, just like you, senior brother Hao, because I'm confident I can be of no less use than you and ensure everyone's safety. As for the remaining forty percent, please distribute it among yourselves!"
With that, everyone was surprised. They never thought Li Qingshan would just hand over the benefits he had just obtained. Forty percent of the wealth of a sixth layer Qi Practitioner of the Sacred Grounds. Was there any Qi Practitioner who would not be tempted by it?
Zhang Lanqing felt rather ashamed over his petty thoughts Qingshan had just now. "Qingshan, th- th- that's not a good idea!"
"There's nothing bad about it. If you want me to join, then let's split it like this! If you want to repay me for my kindness, how can this measly share of benefits be enough to repay your lives? " Li Qingshan had never been a petty person. He had taken a liking to the disciples of mohism, so he would not let them down. This was how he conducted himself.
As the ancients said, spread wealth and gather righteousness. Those who haggle over every ounce and only look at the small benefits in front of them will never achieve great things. A generous and confident person doesn't have to worry about not having friends anywhere.
Hao Pingyang laughed heartily and patted Li Qingshan's shoulder. "Good, I like you!"
He Yishi was roused by his words as well. He said proudly, "Our lives are precious. Let alone these few treasures, even ten Zombie Daoists can't compare to our lives." They were not boasting. They were fourth and fifth layer Qi Practitioners at such a young age, so breaking through to the sixth layer was not an unreachable goal for them. Their future development would definitely surpass the Zombie Daoist's. Holy Church
As disciples of the school of Mohism, they were not suited for battle, but the mechanisms and puppets they created were treasures that all Qi Practitioners would scramble for. They were even more valuable than regular spiritual artifacts. Every single disciple of the school of Mohism would be respected wherever they went. Their statuses could not be compared to the Zombie Daoist who hid underground and refined corpses.
Jin Yuan and Jin Bao also revealed looks of excitement. Jin Yuan said, "If we work together, what's there to fear about the Zombie Daoist? We won't let our gains go to waste either! “
Jin Bao said, "We need to regain the face we've lost ourselves. We can't let others look down on us disciples of mohism."
The gloomy morgue was illuminated by the hot-bloodedness of the young people. Originally, killing the Zombie Daoist was only a rather terrifying mission, but now, it was an undertaking that required them to work together to complete. Their fear had already vanished.
Hao Pingyang extended his hand. "Then let's work together and f * ck him up!" They put their hands together, and they looked at one another and smiled. They all felt much closer to each other, and there was no longer any barrier between them and Li Qingshan anymore. It was as if they had not just met each other, but had known each other for a very long time.
Little Ann held her face and sat on the roof of the morgue. When Li Qingshan rushed down, he left her up there to keep watch. He told her not to use her power carelessly. She watched as the Zombie Daoist fled from the morgue. There was nothing special about her eyes, but they could see through illusions. Concealment techniques were a type of illusion, but they were useless against her. She wanted to go down and warn Li Qingshan, but in the blink of an eye, the Zombie Daoist had vanished, so she could only give up.
If she had caught up earlier, there would probably be a very good chance for her to taste fresh flesh and blood! However, as long as it was Li Qingshan's orders, she would obey them obediently.
The cold moonlight landed on her expressionless face. As she listened to the conversation below, she seemed rather cold.
As her cultivation of the Path of White Bone and Great Beauty deepened, her mind seemed to gradually return to when she was a ghost. However, that was the numbness from being tortured to the point where she had lost her sense of self. Now, it was complete indifference.
When she controlled the flames and devoured living beings one by one, it was not as simple as absorbing the essence of their flesh and blood. She was not like regular evil or demonic cultivators who refined the blood of living people into arcane treasures. At most, she would have to endure some rebuke from her conscience.
Whether it be the blood flames or the pale flames, they were both a part of her. When she melted the flesh and blood, especially the flesh and blood of the living and those who had just died, she could clearly sense their resentment, fury, pain, and fear …
The assault of countless negative emotions was enough to make a regular person collapse in an instant. Even cultivators with great willpower would be affected. They would begin to doubt their actions and even their existence, living under the shadow of the dead for the rest of their lives. This was originally the most difficult test of temperament in the Path of White Bone and Great Beauty.
However, she did not feel troubled at all. Like she was reading a buddhist scripture, she read the painful laments of the dead without the slightest pity. She was like a god seated on a lotus flower, watching as all life suffered. Her heart was clear and indifferent. It was not that she was purposefully suppressing her emotions, but that she was unable to feel them.
She was not moved by righteousness or hot-bloodedness, nor was she troubled by resentment and curses. There was no difference between a red ant and a black ant. All life was equal. They could all be killed, except for him.
In the morgue, they discussed the specific plan of action. The sky in the east gradually brightened.
Suddenly, Little Ann stood up and gazed into the distance. His gaze passed through the plains and saw a group of people rapidly approaching them. He leapt off the roof and arrived beside Li Qingshan.
With just a glance, Li Qingshan understood that Zhuo Zhibo had finally arrived. He said to the disciples of mohism, "Please go ahead first. I have some personal matters to attend to. I'll catch up in a little while."
Hao Pingyang said, "What's more important than hunting down the Zombie Daoist?"
Li Qingshan smiled without saying anything. Hao Pingyang did not ask too much either. Seeing how determined he was, he said, "Alright then. We'll go first and wait for you at the entrance of the Zombie Cave."
