Chapter 63: Good People Follow the Rules
Registered Disciple?
Huang Zong and the others were all cunning and crafty characters.
How could they not tell, from the few words Shu Daoren spoke, that the other party was actually just a destitute evil Cultivator?
It was quite possible that in this so-called Burial Ground, he was the only old practitioner, and the rest were either low-level ghosts or those strange rats.
As for that black locust tree with a human face, its oppressive force was truly far too different from Shu Daoren's.
Huang Zong and the others were inclined to believe that this tree was a foundation of the sect in this Burial Ground that was difficult to use lightly, or perhaps they were merely business partners.
Otherwise, why would this Shu Daoren go through such a big circle to bring people like them over? He even issued empty promises directly, which was exactly like the style they used when painting big pictures for their own employees.
They still had a very clear self-assessment of their own abilities; after gradually reflecting on it, they had already realized that a Cultivator who needed their help could not possibly be some heaven-topping Great Ability.
They just saw through it without saying it out loud.
This!
They were likely still being fooled by those so-called experts with all sorts of套路 (tactics) and rhetoric.
Registered Disciple? No, this was an extraordinary admission ticket worth more than ten thousand gold! All six of them, including Huang Zong, tacitly bowed to Shu Daoren and acted as if they were more grateful and moved than the next.
Su Ping knew what they were thinking.
Anyway, he had just said it casually; when these people actually got things done well, if he was in a good mood, he might give them some benefits.
Immortal cultivation resources were impossible, but martial artist-related resources that Su Ping had no use for in Jinque City, especially those that could be bought with gold and silver, were not impossible to use as a carrot for them to taste.
These martial artist resources, even if their effects were not discounted on Water Blue Star, besides strengthening the body, would only result in the ability to lift a tripod and having blood and Qi like a rainbow.
Such skills could naturally carve out a career in ancient times, but in today's society, perhaps they could walk the path of a sports star?
As for the rest, one could only say: My lord, the times have changed! Su Ping began to explain his requirements.
In addition to requiring them to collect various precious medicinal herbs, gemstones, and even special metals for his experiments.
Large quantities of white sugar and other trade goods were naturally indispensable.
Furthermore, the most important thing was to have them collect blood samples as much as possible, so that he could use the Bloodline Slate to see if any lucky person possessed a special Spirit Body.
Su Ping still very much hoped to have a Spirit Body worker suitable for farming to help him plant Spirit Plants.
Once he drew a real Spirit Field dedicated to the Pot Heaven through the card system in the future, and combined it with a professional farming worker.
His goal of being self-sufficient relying on the Pot Heaven would be able to take another step forward.
Of course, the external excuse was naturally that Shu Daoren of the Burial Ground needed to find the most suitable successor for his lineage through blood samples.
And Huang Zong and the others, knowing this, had already decided in their hearts that the first batch of samples would naturally prioritize themselves and their friends and family.
After all, this was an extraordinary opportunity; it was best not to let fertile water flow into outsiders' fields!
Medicinal herbs and gemstones were fine.
Upon learning about the large quantities of white sugar and certain sensitive items, Huang Zong plucked up the courage to make a suggestion, hoping to be able to set the trading location outside the Eastern Ancient Kingdom.
After all, with the constant updating and upgrading of intelligent big data, these days even the gold one dug up oneself was hard to sell, let alone those sensitive materials.
The more one understood the control measures in this regard, the more terrified one would be! To the point that hearing that the receiving side would go to file a record as soon as they received the goods would not be surprising.
It would be better to take a step back and see the vast sky.
Directly choose the easy mode!
For example, the neighboring country Nierbo was a good place for trading.
There had always been a large number of people from the Eastern Ancient Kingdom going there to invest and live, and people like them could easily acquire the required materials in compliance under the guise of setting up factories or doing business.
Su Ping naturally had no objection to this; his avatar had no distance restrictions.
After agreeing on the time for the next gathering.
Huang Zong and the others only saw the masked Shu Daoren raise his cane and strike the ground hard.
In an instant, the world spun before their eyes.
When they came to their senses again, they had already left the gloomy Burial Ground and returned to where they had come from.
"Ah!" Huang Zong stood in the center of the underground secret room and let out an involuntary cry.
Immediately, he panted and quickly picked up the phone placed to the side.
Out of caution, and fearing that the other party would misunderstand, he had not brought any technological equipment when he went.
However, in this underground secret room, he had installed all kinds of monitoring equipment that could be bought.
Huang Zong opened the surveillance footage and began to drag the timeline.
Soon, Huang Zong saw the footage of himself suddenly disappearing from the secret room.
"It's real, everything is real!"
"The surveillance captured it, I was really summoned to a Secret Realm!"
"Hahaha, that Shu Daoren is real, and that Registered Disciple status is also real!"
Ecstasy, excitement, and then one bold idea after another popped into his head.
But recalling the style of the Burial Ground and that Shu Daoren.
And then starting to suspect that cup of hot tea he had already drunk, which he didn't know if it had been spiked! Huang Zong shuddered and quickly wiped those deadly thoughts from his mind.
That was an evil Cultivator who didn't have many years left to live and had no friends or family to worry about!
For a guy like that, no matter how exquisite his own methods were, it would be useless.
After all, good people follow the rules, while bad people only need to be suspected.
And for people like them, what they feared most were these bad people who had power and didn't follow the rules! In the eyes of Huang Zong and the others, this bad person was also an extraordinary being, which was simply a dimensionality reduction strike against them! Beep beep beep! Suddenly, Huang Zong noticed his phone ringing.
This was his private phone, and only a few people knew the number.
However, seeing the incoming phone number, Huang Zong, who had an amazing memory, smiled and was not surprised.
It was Lu Daheng, one of the six people, calling.
They had participated in a cocktail party together, so they were considered acquaintances to some extent.
It was not difficult for the other party to use their connections to find out his phone number.
However, when they were at the Burial Ground, the six of them naturally all pretended not to know each other.
Huang Zong answered the phone, and the two sides just chatted like old friends who hadn't seen each other in a long time, hanging up naturally after confirming the time and place for tomorrow's meeting.
Even if it was only as a Registered Disciple.
Huang Zong and the others had already entered their roles, starting to become as cautious as intelligence agents meeting for a contact.
As for Su Ping, after finishing this opening performance.
He shed the disguise of Shu Daoren and, to celebrate this great success in hoodwinking, rewarded himself with another ten-pull!
As the ordinary items flashed past the information stream one by one.
Finally, a guaranteed purple message emerged.
Su Ping only took one look, and a flash of joy immediately crossed his face! 【Teleportation Talisman, one-time consumable, after use, ignores distance restrictions, immediately teleports to the side of a designated visitor in the Pot Heaven】
It looked like just a very ordinary little prop for teleporting to a friend's side in a game.
But in reality, Su Ping could see from terms like "ignores distance" and "immediately" that this was an excellent item for escaping!
The Pot Heaven has a thirty-second cooldown, and the Return to City Talisman also requires casting time, and they both have one problem: the location cannot be changed when returning.
If one's luck is too terrible and they run into a ruthless person who blindly guesses the rules and camps the spot, then neither of these two items is safe enough.
But now, this Teleportation Talisman perfectly solves this flaw!
One only needs to arrange for Spirit Mouse Xiaobai or Xiaohui to stay far away in advance.
This gives him the possibility of seeing that the situation is bad and immediately fleeing a thousand or even ten thousand miles away!
It stands to reason that even those Foundation Establishment great cultivators or Golden Core Great Abilities would not be able to catch him when he can travel a thousand or ten thousand miles in an instant.
