Dulong Ridge.
The Hall of Merit of the Five Poison Sect is of extraordinary magnificence.
Today, Li Shuidao was wearing a snow-white satin robe, the hem of which fluttered gently, as if surrounded by clouds. The robe is embroidered with the exquisite Lan family emblem, and hanging on the waist is a crystal clear jade plaque with the three words "Lan Shuidao" engraved on it in simple and solemn handwriting.
Li Shuidao walked steadily into the inner courtyard of the Hall of Merit.
The tea room that welcomes distinguished guests has soft light, curling smoke from the incense burner, and a solemn atmosphere.
Lan Dazhi, the elder of the Hall of Merit, had a kind face. When he saw Li Shuidao, he immediately became awe-inspiring. He served hot tea with both hands and said in a humble tone: "It is truly an honor for us to have our ancestors come here."
"Shizu..." Li Shuidao muttered silently, one day he would actually be called Shizu. With his cultivation level high, things were really different.
Li Shuidao nodded slightly and said calmly: "I want to exchange for two spiritual objects."
"I wonder which two spiritual objects they are?" Lan Dazhi asked carefully.
"Star Jade and Luminous Stone."
"Shizu, the treasure you need is quite rare. Now that the Hall of Merit has no inventory, I'm afraid we need to transfer the goods to the sect's treasury." Lan Dazhi's voice was filled with helplessness.
"Then go and adjust it."
Elder Lan Dazhi frowned slightly, seeming a little embarrassed. He said softly: "This... transferring goods to the sect's treasury requires meritorious deeds."
Li Shuidao rolled his eyes, daring to think that he was here for free prostitution.
But then again, the third-level monks of the Lan family might actually be able to have sex for nothing.
"Is three hundred thousand meritorious service enough?" Li Shuidao asked softly.
"That's enough, that's enough... Shizu just needs to express his intention."
Seeing Lan Dazhi being so submissive, Li Shuidao smiled lightly.
Except for the Ancestral Master Hall, the Lan family's identity and third-level cultivation can be used anywhere.
As for the shabby place of Zushitang, I don’t want to sell my face.
"Shizu, I have something I don't know whether to say or not." Lan Dazhi looked hesitant.
Li Shuidao took a sip of tea and said slowly: "But it doesn't matter."
Lan Dazhi looked at the maid next to him with a hint of worry in his eyes. Li Shuidao noticed his concerns and waved the two maids to leave.
They were the only two people left in the hall.
Lan Dazhi took a deep breath, clasped his fists and said, "Shizu, if you want to obtain the Star Jade and Luminous Stone, you don't have to spend 300,000 merits. You only need to go to the Law Enforcement Hall."
Li Shuidao frowned slightly, a hint of vigilance flashed in his eyes.
He didn't want to get involved in the infighting.
In the past, I was weak because I was afraid of death, but now I am strong because I don't want to be used by weak people in vain.
Li Shuidao said in a deep voice: "How come there are these two treasures in the Law Enforcement Hall?"
Lan Dazhi explained: "Shizu, the Law Enforcement Hall recently captured a traitor and found a large amount of treasures on him, including the Star Jade and Luminous Stone you need. If Shizu is interested, you can go to the Law Enforcement Hall to take these directly. Two treasures, no need to spend merit."
"Traitor? Which traitor?" Li Shuidao asked.
"Old Man with Poisonous Hands." Lan Dazhi replied in a low voice.
Li Shuidao was stunned for a moment, a trace of doubt flashed in his eyes. He whispered: "Old man with poisonous hands? Why was he arrested?"
Lan Dazhi hesitated for a moment and whispered: "It is said to be an old account from the Immortal Path Secret Realm half a year ago."
Li Shuidao was silent for a moment, with a flash of thought in his eyes. He asked: "When was the person arrested?"
"A few days ago."
"He didn't resist?" Li Shuidao asked curiously.
After all, the old man with poisonous hands also has Ziyang Qi in his body. If this Qi breaks out, it can be enough to compete with the third-level monks.
"His family is still in Montenegro, so how dare he resist? Now he is being held in prison, waiting for trial. Those things were all found in his cave. There are so many treasures that he can't explain clearly. How many of them can punish him? ." Lan Dazhi said with a wicked smile.
"What crime?"
"This... must be condemned. If he is not convicted, it will be difficult to divide his treasures."
"I understand." Li Shuidao stood up and said with a cold face: "I will give you 300,000 merit to go to the sect's treasure house to find the star jade and luminous stone. If I can't see the treasure within a month, I will Let you see what I can do."
Lan Dazhi knelt down in fear. "Young ones don't dare."
Li Shuidao nodded, stood up and left.
…
Law Enforcement Hall.
dungeon.
The dark prison is filled with moisture,
There is a pool in the middle of the dungeon. The water in the pool is turbid, as if it has accumulated filth for countless years.
In this disgusting environment, an old man dressed in prison uniform sat cross-legged in meditation with his eyes closed.
The unbearable stench may no longer be so pungent to him.
Suddenly, the old man with poisonous hands opened his eyes, his eyes were bright and his light was restrained.
The iron door of the dungeon slowly opened.
Several monks from the Law Enforcement Hall stepped into it. Their figures were tall and majestic, and the silver hooks hanging from their waists shone with a cold light.
The leader said in a deep voice: "Poisonous Hand, your case has been investigated and you are acquitted and can be released from prison."
The old man with poisonous hands frowned slightly, and a trace of doubt flashed in his eyes. He didn't believe that he could leave this dark dungeon of the Law Enforcement Hall so easily.
"What are you doing standing around? Come with us to go through the formalities." The monk from the Law Enforcement Hall urged.
Only then did the poisonous old man come to his senses, and he said excitedly: "Thank you all fellow Taoists, the Sect Law Enforcement Hall is indeed fair!"
The leader chuckled. Of course he knew the reason, but he just couldn't explain it.
"Stop dawdling and leave quickly." Another monk from the Law Enforcement Hall said impatiently.
The old man with poisonous hands nodded slightly, turned around and walked out of the cell door.
Outside the cell door was a dark corridor lined with various instruments of torture, and there were still bloodstains on the walls.
"Poisonous Hands, leave quickly." A monk from the Law Enforcement Hall next to him urged.
The old man with poisonous hands took a deep breath and walked towards the end of the corridor.
At the end of the corridor was a secret room. Entering the secret room, the monks from the Law Enforcement Hall returned his storage bag and Gu pocket, and even changed him into a clean robe.
The moment he walked out of the dungeon, the poisonous old man took a deep breath of fresh air and felt the warmth of the sun shining on his body.
"Poison Hand, you still have something to collect." The monk from the Law Enforcement Hall said.
"I've already received all of this." The old man with poisonous hands, who changed into black clothes again and hung up his storage bag, looked puzzled. He checked his belongings and found that they were not missing at all.
"Just come with me."
The old man with poisonous hands could only follow the group of monks from the Law Enforcement Hall walking in the courtyard of the Law Enforcement Hall.
They passed through one door after another and came to an extremely secret room. There is a man in the secret room, who is reading a Taoist book intently.
In the corner of this secret room, there are still many treasures piled up, all of which are third-level or even fourth-level weapon refining materials.
These are the treasures that the old man with poisonous hands hides in his cave.
My whole house was ransacked!
The old man with poisonous hands only felt a chill on his back.
"I feel sorry for you." The man raised his head, revealing a familiar face.
Exactly—Li Shuidao.
