104: Chapter 104 How come all the bald monks in the world are so rich!

"Hmm?"

Shen Yi quickly lowered his eyes and looked at the specific intelligence information!

[You choose to hand it over to the Corpse-Driving Immortal Sect!]

[The Corpse-Driving Immortal Sect will not be grateful; they are sycophantic, and they say one thing to your face but do another behind your back!]

[You choose to trade, gaining some Spirit Stones... as well as copper coins. The value is decent, but it does not maximize the profit!]

Shen Yi's gaze turned toward the Somber Middle-aged Man...

The Somber Middle-aged Man had a warm smile on his face... appearing incomparably sincere.

But his rapid kowtowing earlier was enough to prove this person's Heart-Nature...

He is definitely someone who bullies the weak and fears the strong.

Moreover, since so many of his Puppet zombies were killed earlier, he is likely harboring resentment in his heart, yet he dares not say much due to the situation.

Even if it were handed over to them, I fear it wouldn't end well!

Shen Yi shook his head and instantly eliminated the option of the Corpse-Driving Immortal Sect...

Keeping the Iron-Armored Zombie for himself also has a high probability of return.

This high probability should be due to the inherent value of the Iron-Armored Zombie itself.

However, Qinghe Town has no Puppet master, so it cannot be utilized... this option, naturally, must also be eliminated!

Shen Yi looked at the final option...

[You choose to hand it over to Hanshan Temple!]

[Hanshan Temple is currently in a precarious situation!]

[During the Spirit Demon Storm, evil Cultivators appeared in a town near Hanshan Temple... They went to suppress them and suffered heavy losses!]

[The Master Yankong before you is the next abbot of Hanshan Temple. They came out to travel this time in response to an order from Pingyang Prefecture, and also to seek a chance of survival for themselves!]

[The Iron-Armored Zombie is special, but it is not important!]

[What is important is... the favor of Hanshan Temple!]

[Subjugating Hanshan Temple yields: Second-Rank Wonder - Hanshan Temple, Second-Rank Iron Art Refining Method, Ancient Nature Essence Cultivation Technique, Third-Rank Damaged - Wuyuan Courtyard Guardian Puppet Refining Method!, Second-Rank Dao Soldier - > Savage Brave Monk Courtyard, Combat Technique - Arhat Subdues Demons]

[Return Rate: 399%]

Shen Yi slowly withdrew his gaze... his heart churning with stormy waves.

It can only be said that a bald donkey is still a bald donkey; after so much time has passed, how do they still have so much wealth?

A Wonder is a good thing indeed.

But the Wonder of Hanshan Temple is Hanshan Temple itself; could it be their old nest?

Although he doesn't know the specific function of this Second-Rank Wonder, anything that can be used as a foundation must be extraordinary.

The Iron Art Refining Method seems to be an Ore purification process, similar to the Imperial Court's hundred-forged, thousand-forged, and hundred-refined weapons?

As for the Ancient Nature Essence Cultivation Technique, it is likely a method for nourishing essence and cultivating energy. In Buddhism Cultivation Techniques, what is cultivated first is not Spiritual Qi, but the Physical Body and Divine Soul.

This is done to bear spiritual thoughts and incense...

It is also a good thing!

As for that Third-Rank Puppet, it is likely the reason they came here.

No wonder... the raw Materials for refining a Third-Rank Puppet must be Third-Rank or top-tier Second-Rank.

If other Materials were used, they might not even be able to refine it!

As for seeing the Savage Brave Monk at the end, Shen Li could no longer sit still!

This is clearly another Second-Rank Wonder... a Wonder identical to the rakshasa statue!

What is even more valuable is that this Dao Soldier also carries a combat technique!

Shen Yi couldn't help but think... Buddhism is in such dire straits now, yet they are still so rich.

Then, when these bald donkeys were famous throughout the world... were they not wealthy enough to rival a nation?

However, subjugating these ascetic Cultivators is likely very difficult.

After all, they have endured so many hard times... and persisted through it all.

How could they be easily swayed?

Furthermore, there is an inherent barrier between the officials of the Immortal Dynasty and Buddhism!

But in Shen Yi's view, the opposition between the officials of the Immortal Dynasty and Buddhist Cultivators is a false proposition in itself.

As long as it can be properly controlled and used for my own purposes, never mind these baldies.

Even if it were the damn Demonic Path, he would use it without hesitation.

There is no other way; he is really too short of manpower.

Other Disciples of noble families come out to gild themselves with many good followers behind them.

But he is all alone.

Currently, the talent in his hands is also scarce... he cannot even build a normal organizational structure!

The military aspect is easy enough to handle... but the administrative aspect gives him a huge headache.

As part of the Buddhist sect, Hanshan Temple should know how to swindle people, right???

Shen Yi slowly withdrew his gaze.

Seeing this, the group from the Corpse-Driving Immortal Sect sneered contemptuously.

They clearly looked down upon the Cultivators of Hanshan Temple... The leader spoke up, saying with a smile.

"Unexpectedly, it turns out to be wild monk Cultivators... That is rare!"

"My Lord... although the Iron-Armored Zombie is rare, its use to you is far from as high as you imagine!"

"Our Corpse-Driving Immortal Sect... is willing to offer three thousand copper coins to purchase this corpse."

"And we will report to the Imperial Court that you have a share of the credit for the assistance!"

"Converted into military merit, it can count as one minor merit. What does My Lord think?"

Shen Yi looked at the Somber Middle-aged Man and sneered.

"Do you take this official for a beggar?"

Shen Yi scanned the two of them and looked at Master Yankong.

"Both of you are asking for this Iron-Armored Zombie, so why hasn't the Master spoken up?"

"Are you just going to let the people of the Corpse-Driving Immortal Sect snatch it away?"

Master Yankong said helplessly.

"The Corpse-Driving Immortal Sect, being honored as retainers of the Immortal Dynasty, is naturally not something we monks can compare to."

"Moreover, the many Fellow Daoists of the Corpse-Driving Immortal Sect are skilled in refining corpses; handing the Iron-Armored Zombie to them would truly be putting it to the best use!"

"Furthermore..."

Master Yankong was somewhat helpless; he turned around and pointed to the monks behind him, saying.

"I am truly unqualified as the abbot of Hanshan Temple; these Disciples following me cannot even afford to eat."

"Not to mention three thousand copper coins, even thirty... this poor monk cannot produce them!"

The leader of the Corpse-Driving Immortal Sect laughed.

"Thank you, Master, for your kind words."

"I dare not... I dare not..."

This person thought victory was in his grasp and spoke with a smile.

"If My Lord feels it is too little... I am willing to offer five thousand copper coins, in addition to five hundred Low-Grade Spirit Stones!"

"Besides that, if My Lord patronizes our Corpse-Driving Immortal Sect, we will give you a ten percent discount!"

"Not only that... our Corpse-Driving Immortal Sect also has quite a few connections in the Imperial Court..."

Before he could finish, he was slowly interrupted by Shen Yi.

Shen Yi looked at Master Yankong and said with a smile.

"This Magical Artifact prayer bead bracelet of yours looks quite extraordinary to me."

"As I rub it carefully, I only feel my mind calm down..."

Master Yankong was stunned for a moment and reached out his hand.

"My Lord is too kind."

"It is nothing more than something that has been imbued with incense and the Heart-Cleansing Mantra through long-term recitation."

"If My Lord likes it... then please just take it!"

"I see that there are two streams of Qi within your body that are compatible, yet they have not been fully integrated."

"One stream of Qi is from a heterodox path."

"Coupled with the Official Aura flowing through your body, it is inevitably out of balance."

"This object can help My Lord soothe your mind..."

Shen Yi smiled, took it in his hand, and felt much refreshed.

It was somewhat mysterious.

"Is this Magical Artifact very valuable?"

"It is merely some trivial skill..."

"You old monk are quite interesting..."

"Very well... you may take the Iron-Armored Zombie."

Master Yankong quickly cupped his hands.

"We shall withdraw immediately..."

"Wait..."

"What do you mean by 'you may take the Iron-Armored Zombie'?"
