No hope for eternal life

"Stop talking nonsense." Yang Wuque was a little impatient. He was too lazy to say anything more to Sha Tongmo and went straight to the point: "Fifty-fifty split, you've already made a lot of money."

"Sir, you are right. I got half of a gold and silver stone mother mine for no reason. It's like pie falling from the sky." Shatongmo said with a smile. To him, things like gold and silver stone essences are not worth mentioning. The gold and silver stone mother is what he really values, and its value is comparable to that of a sixth-grade spiritual ore.

"Another but, right?" Yang Wuque asked calmly. He had already seen the greed in Shatongmo's eyes.

"Yes, yes." Shatongmo sighed repeatedly: "It is quite troublesome to mine gold and silver mother stones. Sir, you want to take half of the profits without doing anything. This is a bit hard for me to accept."

Yang Wuque sneered at this and said in a tough manner: "Fifty-fifty split, don't even think about getting one more cent. If you can't accept it, I'll find someone else to cooperate with. I don't believe that everyone is as greedy as you."

Seeing Yang Wuque being so tough, Shatongmo continued to say with a smile: "How can this be called greed? People are born between heaven and earth to practice cultivation, which is a struggle for the great way. Who dares to be disrespectful in the slightest? If you can't grasp this opportunity, what's the point of practicing cultivation?"

As he spoke, Shatongmo's aura suddenly increased. Under the pressure of his Divine Transformation Realm, the ground of the entire town began to tremble slightly.

Seeing this scene, Yang Wuque's face did not show any panic, nor did he show any aura. He just said calmly: "Want to fight? Are you sure that you can defeat me after entering the Spiritual Transformation Realm?"

Hearing this, Shatongmo narrowed his eyes and suddenly retracted his aura. All the previous verbal confrontations and pretending to take action were tests on him, because he was not sure how much of Yang Wuque's strength was left compared to his peak.

Just as Shatongmo himself said just now, on the path of cultivation, no one dares to be careless. After some testing, he decided not to take action.

Seeing that Sha Tongmo had given up the idea of ​​taking action, Yang Wuque took out a jade slip, threw it in front of Sha Tongmo, and said lightly: "This is the Heart Demon Oath I drafted for you."

There is a lack of trust among cultivators, and only after swearing the Great Oath against the Inner Demon can one gain the trust of others. Even a ninth-level emperor cultivator cannot easily violate the Great Oath against the Inner Demon, because once the Inner Demon backfires, he would be worse off dead than alive.

Yang Wuque obviously didn't trust Shatongmo's character, so he specifically asked him to swear a great oath to the devil in his heart and divide the money strictly according to the 50-50 ratio.

Shatongmo read the contents of the jade slip carefully. He had no choice but to be cautious. Ever since the Great Heart Demon Oath was developed, countless cultivators had been killed directly or indirectly because they inadvertently swore the Great Heart Demon Oath with loopholes.

After a long while, Shatongmo slowly said, "There is no problem with the content of this Heart Demon Oath, but now I am not even sure where the gold and silver stone mother mine you mentioned is, or whether it exists. Do you think it is appropriate for me to take the Heart Demon Oath?"

Yang Wuque glanced at Shatongmo and said casually: "Follow me."

After saying that, Yang Wuque immediately stepped into the air and flew away, and Shatongmo naturally followed closely behind.

A moment later, the two arrived at a barren mountain outside the town. As soon as they landed, Shatongmo couldn't wait to use his spiritual sense to explore the mountain. This exploration gave him a shock. The volume of the gold and silver stone mother ore was larger than he expected.

"What a pity, what a pity." Shatongmo said it was a pity. If he had discovered it himself, if Yang Wuque was not here, he could have taken over this gold and silver stone mother mine alone.

Although he said it was a pity, Shatongmo was actually very decisive. He directly used his own blood and essence to write the oath of the Heart Demon Vow in the air, and then imprinted the oath on his soul, which meant that the Heart Demon Vow had been fulfilled.

Yang Wuque witnessed the whole process of Shatongmo making the Inner Demon Oath. After confirming that the Inner Demon Oath was correct, he turned around and left, leaving Shatongmo where he was.

Now that the inner demon has made a great oath, even if Yang Wuque begs Sha Tongmo to embezzle a piece of low-grade spirit stone, Sha Tongmo will not dare to do so. It will be split 50-50, and Sha Tongmo will deliver all of it to Yang Wuque in the future.

……

Mu Changsheng had been on the ferry for nearly a day when he finally heard the boat owner's voice: "We are almost at Niujiao Ferry. Fellow Taoists who are getting off the boat, please be ready."

Upon hearing this, Mu Changsheng immediately ended his training and waited for the ship to stop.

After getting off the boat, Mu Changsheng rode back non-stop. When he arrived at Qingliu Town, it was already late at night.

"Let my parents know I'm safe first. There's no need to worry about Mr. Yang yet." Mu Changsheng thought to himself and hurried back home.

When he arrived at his home, Mu Changsheng tried to push the door, but found that it was not locked and was pushed open directly. What caught Mu Changsheng's eyes was that both his parents were looking at him in the courtyard, obviously they had been waiting for him for a long time.

"Dad, Mom, I'm back." Mu Changsheng said with a smile.

Chen Wanru's eyes were already filled with tears, and she quickly said, "It's good that you're back, it's good that you're back."

The child is the apple of her eye. If it weren't for the child's future, she wouldn't want her child to travel so far, even though Mu Changsheng would only take a few days to go back and forth.

Mu Yanggu asked in a deep voice: "Have you been to Mr. Yang's place?"

Mu Changsheng knew why Mu Yanggu asked this question, and said with a smile: "I haven't gone yet, Dad, don't worry, even if Mr. Yang knew, he wouldn't blame me for such a small matter."

"What are you saying?" Mu Yanggu scolded, "You should be loyal to the person who entrusted you with the task. Now that you have completed the task, you should report to Mr. Yang first."

"What are you talking about?" Chen Wanru was immediately dissatisfied and retorted: "Mr. Yang is such a big shot, how could he care about such a small matter? You are so pretentious all day long, just to show that you are capable, right?"

"You." Mu Yanggu was choked and speechless.

"Okay, okay." Mu Changsheng quickly changed the subject: "Dad, Mom, I brought you a gift each."

"A gift." Father and Mother Mu looked at each other and smiled. Then Mu Yanggu said, "I have prepared a gift for you as well."

"Then let's exchange gifts." Mu Changsheng said with a smile. He gave two jade boxes containing elixirs to his parents respectively, and Mu Yanggu also gave a jade box to Mu Changsheng.

Chen Wanru was the first to open the jade box. Looking at the glittering purple-red pill inside the box, she exclaimed: "Rejuvenation Pill!" She worked in an alchemy shop in the small town. Even if she hadn't eaten the Rejuvenation Pill, how could she not have seen it? This pill was too tempting to women.

On the other side, Mu Yanggu had also opened the jade box and found that it was the Golden Core that he had always dreamed of. However, in addition to being surprised, he immediately thought of the problem and asked hurriedly: "Where did you get the spirit stone? Did Mr. Yang give it to you?"

"It was indeed given by Mr. Yang." Mu Changsheng replied, and then he returned the special-grade foundation-building pill given by Mu Yanggu with a bit of a smile and said: "Dad, I already have a special-grade foundation-building pill, so I'll return this one."

Although he didn't know whether to laugh or cry, Mu Changsheng was deeply touched, because he knew that Mu Yanggu must have spent all of his family savings to buy him that special foundation-building pill.

Chen Wanru works in the alchemy workshop, so Mu Changsheng still knows some of the rules of the alchemy workshop. Within a certain period of time, the pills can be returned, and the most that can be done is a discount on the returned spirit stones.

Mu Yanggu took the special foundation-building pill and was no longer concerned about returning it. He said anxiously, "You are so confused. You just delivered a letter. How can you ask Mr. Yang for so much reward?"

The special foundation-building pill, the anti-aging pill, and the gold-condensing pill would cost about 10,000 low-grade spirit stones. Mu Yanggu was worried that Mu Changsheng would lose Yang Wuque's favor because of these spirit stones. Wouldn't that be a loss of the greater for the smaller?
