Lao Tzu is Ji Gong

When he opened his eyes, he was surprised to see Li Xiu, that plague god. Wang Dali didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

At this moment, Wang Dali was also on the verge of tears, and could only nod.

Li Xiu was very satisfied with Wang Dali's performance and immediately let go of his hand, sitting down on the couch inside the tent.

Li Xiu didn't treat Wang Dali like an outsider and said directly to him, "Wang Dali, your current situation seems to be quite bad."

Hearing Li Xiu's words, Wang Dali dared not speak out in anger, thinking to himself, "Isn't that just bullshit? My current predicament is all because of you."

Of course, Wang Dali could only think about it in his heart; he dared not say it out loud.

Enraging this plague god is far more terrifying than being insubordinated by one's own subordinates.

Wang Dali swallowed hard and forced a smile, saying, "Sigh, it's all part of the sect's rules."

"The Giant Strength Sect rose rapidly to become a powerful force due to its strict sect rules. As a member, it is only natural to abide by these rules."

"So you really hate me for crippling your arm, don't you?" Li Xiu said with a half-smile.

When Wang Dali heard Li Xiu ask this, he broke out in a cold sweat and hurriedly knelt on the ground, saying, "No, no, I wouldn't dare."

"Our Giant Strength Sect values ​​strength above all else. It is my honor that the Great God was able to cripple me."

Hearing Wang Dali start fawning over him, Li Xiu waved his hand impatiently and said, "Alright, alright, I don't have time to waste with you."

"It's the same as always: I ask, you answer, understand?"

"Understood, understood." Wang Dali nodded quickly.

"What news have you had these past few days?" Li Xiu asked directly and bluntly.

Wang Dali thought for a moment and replied, "There's been absolutely no news. The disciples who went out to search the mountain these past few days haven't found anything unusual."

Hearing Wang Dali say that, Li Xiu also felt a little uncomfortable.

Chapter 1348 Wanting to Cultivate a Mole

If so many people couldn't find it, it can only mean that the cave entrance might not be in this area.

"With Mount Buzhou now appearing, besides you, there must be many other sects that have come here, right?"

"Are the remaining temporary bases of those sects all located in the area above?"

Upon hearing Li Xiu's question, Wang Dali swallowed hard.

After all, his own home had just been raided; he was going to go elsewhere to harm others.

Wang Dali replied, "We came from the east, and there are at least four or five other sects that came from the east as well."

"Moreover, it is said that not only us, but also demons and their kind came from other directions."

"There are even demons here. It seems this world is quite real." Li Xiu remarked with a sigh.

However, none of that matters now. All Li Xiu needs to do now is to find the cave entrance as soon as possible and get there first.

What needs to be done now is to obtain enough information from Wang Dali so that his treasure-hunting function can be used more effectively.

"What level are the high-end forces at the foot of the mountain?" Li Xiu asked again.

"At least they could easily defeat me." Wang Dali couldn't think of a better way to describe it, so he had to use himself as an example.

Hearing Wang Dali say this, Li Xiu did not become arrogant, even though he now felt that his strength was already at a relatively high level in this world.

However, we haven't reached the point where we can underestimate the heroes of the world.

It would be inappropriate to rashly go down the mountain and wreak havoc in someone else's lair.

"Are the others who went up the mountain about the same strength as you?" Li Xiu asked.

“That’s right, we’re all at our level,” Wang Dali quickly replied.

"Alright, then there's nothing for you to do."

Li Xiu has obtained all the information he needed; all that's left is to take action.

Finding the right direction is the most important thing for Li Xiu right now.

As Li Xiu was about to leave, another question came to mind, and he asked again, "By the way, what's the specific situation with the demon race? Do you know anything about it?"

"I don't know." Wang Dali was also helpless. He was just a junior, so why did he have to ask him about everything?

"Do you need me to deal with those two brothers who were plotting against you?" Li Xiu actually had a change of heart and wanted to help others solve their problems.

When Wang Dali heard Li Xiu say that, his mind immediately became active, but the next moment, he lowered his head again.

"No need, Master."

“I’m already in this state. Even if those two brothers fall, someone else will come and overthrow me,” Wang Dali said, his voice trembling with tears.

Sensing Wang Dali's sorrowful mood, Li Xiu understood that the atmosphere had been sufficiently created.

He turned around again and said to Wang Dali, "What if I told you I could cure you?"

Wang Dali's eyes widened immediately, and he was about to scream.

Fortunately, Li Xiu reacted quickly and covered Wang Dali's mouth, preventing him from reacting too violently.

"Didn't I tell you not to make a sound!" Li Xiu said fiercely.

Originally, Li Xiu wanted to cultivate a mole, but this mole turned out to be so unreliable that Li Xiu's mind is now wavering.

Wang Dali nodded excitedly, indicating that he would definitely obey the arrangements.

Chapter 1349 The Merit Shop Returns

Li Xiu only released his grip after he sensed that Wang Dali's emotions had calmed down.

Wang Dali, filled with anticipation, asked, "Master, are you telling the truth?"

"Can my current condition be cured?"

It's no wonder Wang Dali is like this; after all, when someone is in despair, the desire to see hope is incredibly strong.

Moreover, Wang Dali was already in a place with strict rules like the Giant Strength Sect. If he really lost his strength, it would be worse than death for him.

"Haven't you witnessed my strength yet?" Li Xiu said.

"Since I say I can do it, then I can do it; it's just a matter of whether I want to or not."

Seeing Li Xiu's confident demeanor, Wang Dali immediately knelt on the ground and said to Li Xiu.

"Great God, if you can really cure me, you'll be my father!" Wang Dali, seeing the wind blowing, immediately claimed to be his father.

Li Xiu waved his hand and said, "Fine, no need. Besides, I don't have such a terrible descendant as you."

Wang Dali scratched his head awkwardly, unsure of what to say.

Li Xiu then said, "I'll help you, but there are conditions."

"Tell me your conditions, and I'll agree to them."

Wang Dali's expression changed quite quickly; just a moment ago he looked lifeless.

Now that he had a glimmer of hope, he became excited, as if he had already grasped that glimmer of hope in his hands.

Seeing Wang Dali's reaction, Li Xiu sighed, "The hope seen in despair is indeed the sweetest."

Of course, Li Xiu himself couldn't cure Wang Dali, but he had a system!

He hadn't visited the merit shop in a long time.

Ever since he was extorted by the system last time, Li Xiu has completely blocked the words "merit shop" and ignored the system's resentful look.

Now that we're about to do something big, we should naturally make use of this slush fund.

However, Li Xiu was not in a hurry to find the elixir to restore Wang Dali's severed arm. Instead, he continued to state his conditions.

"Wang Dali, listen up."

"What I need you to do is, when you return down the mountain to report your progress to the sect, inquire about any news from other teams or other sects."

"Pay special attention to any news that seems to indicate a cave entrance, understand?"

Hearing Li Xiu say that, Wang Dali breathed a sigh of relief.

Gathering information wasn't too difficult, and Wang Dali didn't feel he had done anything wrong to the sect.

After all, this is what I do, so exchanging information is only natural. It seems this mission isn't difficult to complete.

Wang Dali was afraid that Li Xiu might do something rash and ask him to poison the sect leader or something similar, so that he could die.

Wang Dali quickly nodded in agreement. "Don't worry about such a small matter, I'll take care of it."

Li Xiu was still a little surprised to see Wang Dali agree so readily.

It seems he still hasn't fully adapted to the rules of this world.

However, Li Xiu had no intention of adapting to the rules of this relatively simple and primitive prehistoric world.

Now that he has everything in place, when he finally obtains the last piece of the puzzle, it will be time for him to create his own rules.

Chapter 1350 Merit Shop Consumption

Of course, that's all in the future. Right now, Li Xiu still needs to continuously improve his strength.

Deep down, Li Xiu could also sense that although his current power was great, it was still just so-so.

The higher your strength, the more you can feel the feeling of being evenly matched with a worthy opponent.
