Chapter 1143: Chapter 1142: Substantial Gain

"Eh, this is a good idea, why didn’t I think of that!" Jin Caiwei realized immediately that the method was feasible. She took out a token, contacted the Gold Clan Leader, and asked them to find the head of the Qiongqi Clan in Buddha Country.

Mr. Shi was so scared he swallowed his saliva and his body shuddered. What did the ancestor call this person just now, Young Sect Master?

Could this be the legendary Heavenly Court Young Master?

"That’s enough, there’s nothing here for you, you can go now," Jin Caiwei waved her hand, signaling Mr. Shi to leave.

"Yes, yes!"

In Jin’an City, Mr. Shi was among the top five powerful cultivators who could call the wind and summon the rain, but whether it was the ancestor or Young Master Lu, they were far beyond Mr. Shi’s comprehension. Being around them was a great pressure for Mr. Shi, so leaving was actually a good thing.

His attitude is still not right, no wonder he stopped at the Golden Core Early Stage, Lu Yang shook his head. When he was at the Foundation Establishment Stage, he used to live with Fairy Eternity every day and didn’t feel any pressure.

The Gold Clan Leader was very efficient and quickly obtained the purchase records of the Recording Orb before and after the time of the curse.

"There are a total of seven people with large purchase records during that period?" Lu Yang looked thoughtful upon receiving the information, seeming to have no other choice but to investigate them one by one.

"Let me see who’s the closest, it should be this one, Hongfa Temple, a young monk from Hongfa Temple purchased five hundred Recording Orbs."

"What is this young monk buying so many Recording Orbs for?"

"Let’s go and find out, come."

"Make sure to behave properly, and stop scaring people with a female ghost every day!" Jin Caiwei warned Mr. Shi before transforming into the pattern on Lu Yang’s white robe, making Mr. Shi repeatedly agree.

"But the idea of making very scary Dream Mirages is good. Keep on researching it." Lu Yang reminded him that if Mr. Shi really came up with something, just the Spirit Stones he earned could send him to the Nascent Soul Stage.

...

Hongfa Temple, secret chamber.

"Junior Brother Zhi Jie, it would be wise for you to voluntarily drop out of the Abbot election this time. If you let your Senior Brother take your place willingly, it would also show off your high monk image."

Junior Brother Zhi Jie was taken aback at first but then burst into laughter as if he had heard the funniest joke, "Me, drop out voluntarily? After knowing Senior Brother Zhi Kai for so long, I didn’t know you had a sense of humor."

"Although we are at the same realm, both at the Early Integration Stage, when has your Buddhist debate ever surpassed mine? And how many monks in Hongfa Temple support you! Let me tell you the truth, the position of Abbot will definitely be mine!"

"A joke? It seems the Junior Brother has a poor memory, do you need me to remind you? A month ago, you broke the precept of lust, physically bestowing charity to a good family’s young lady."

Junior Brother Zhi Jie looked at his Senior Brother in disbelief and exclaimed, "That’s impossible, how did you know that!"

"I not only know about it, but I also recorded it with a Recording Orb. Would you like to see it?"

Without waiting for Junior Brother Zhi Jie to respond, Senior Brother Zhi Kong took out a Recording Orb from his sleeve, and what played was the scene of Zhi Jie breaking the precept of lust a month ago, extremely erotic!

The evidence was irrefutable!

With this Recording Orb, Junior Brother Zhi Jie had no qualification to compete for the position of Abbot!

Snap—

In a fit of rage, Junior Brother Zhi Jie smashed the Recording Orb with a slap.

"You don’t think I only have this one Recording Orb, do you?" Senior Brother Zhi Kai chuckled and revealed a hundred Recording Orbs from his Storage Ring, all displaying that same scene.

Snap—

"If Junior Brother doesn’t find breaking one to be satisfying, you can destroy all of these Recording Orbs. You might want to guess how many Recording Orbs I still have," Senior Brother Zhi Kai said calmly.

Junior Brother Zhi Jie, like a bull enraged, had scary red eyes as he stared fixedly at Senior Brother Zhi Kai.

"Fine, I give up, but you must ensure that these Recording Orbs do not spread!"

"Of course."

Senior Brother Zhi Kai always maintained a confident smile, having predicted Junior Brother Zhi Jie would react this way. For this purpose, he had his young disciple make hundreds of copies of this Recording Orb, all to crush Junior Brother Zhi Jie’s psychological defenses.

"I guess you have four hundred Recording Orbs left." A third voice rang out in the secret chamber.

"Who’s there!" The brothers grew vigilant together; this was the secret chamber of Hongfa Temple—how could anyone have gotten in!

A young man in a white robe embroidered with dragons and phoenixes suddenly appeared in the chamber, looking helplessly at the two monks.

He had followed the little monk’s clues from Hongfa Temple all the way here.

"You two, come with me to Western Paradise Temple," said Lu Yang. Since it was a matter concerning Buddha Country, it was best to let Western Paradise Temple handle it.

Lu Yang’s gaze fell upon Senior Brother Zhi Kai. From the angle of the shots in the Recording Orb, it was clear that Junior Brother Zhi Jie’s breaking of the precepts was premeditated. Such a person becoming Abbot would certainly be unacceptable.

"Such big talk!"

The brothers panicked at the same time; they absolutely couldn’t let Western Paradise Temple find out about this!

They fully unleashed their Cultivation Level, shaking the secret chamber to its core.

"Canghuang Sky Fist!"

"Demon-suppressing Eighteen Forms!"

"Two at the Early Integration Stage, huh..." Lu Yang’s tone remained even, "Let me set a ’Rule: In this secret chamber, use of spiritual essence is forbidden.’"

Without the support of spiritual essence, the brothers’ moves collapsed midway, and the chamber returned to calm.

The brothers looked frantic: "This kind of rule suppression... You can’t be at the Integration Stage, who, who are you!"

...

"Deputy Saint, this batch is the collective purchase of Recording Orbs, still on the usual terms. The receipts issued by the Qiongqi Clan show the full price, our actual purchase cost is at a 20% discount, and the remaining profit is ours."

"No one has discovered this, have they?"

"Absolutely no one!"

"Good, I trust your work." The Deputy Saint nodded his approval.

"You two, come with me to Western Paradise Temple as well." The young man in the white robe with the dragon and phoenix pattern appeared out of nowhere.

"Who are you!" The Deputy Saint was shocked and immediately unleashed his Great Divine Skill at Lu Yang.

"Mid Intergration Stage, not bad."

...

"Boss, this is the profit from our smuggling this time..."

"You two, come with me to Western Paradise Temple."

"You dare to threaten me, courting death!"

"Integration Late Stage, also decent."

...

In a damp cave, a disheveled cultivator clutched a Recording Orb and laughed maniacally.

"That’s it, just like that, my Curse Technique has reached a new level. Now who in the world can be my opponent!"

"Finally found the right person." The white-robed young man appeared, looking like a Banished Immortal, completely out of place in the damp and filthy cave environment.

"Who are you!" The disheveled cultivator barked fiercely, shaking the bell in his hand as an eerie ring filled the space, sending shivers down one’s spine.

Lu Yang could see the cultivator’s Cultivation Level at a glance: "Initial Stage of Spirit Transformation, huh?"

He sighed, counting on his fingers, "Do you know how many wrong people I’ve found while trying to catch you? On this journey, I’ve captured one at the Void Refinement Stage, three at Early Integration Stage, two at Mid Intergration Stage, and one at Integration Late Stage."
