I Don't Want to Get Hurt, So I'll Max Out My Defense-Chapter 1013 - 114: Net Profit of 1 Billion, Striking It Rich!

Chapter 1013 -114: Net Profit of 1 Billion, Striking It Rich!

“With such an important matter, is Sect Master Li really at ease telling us all this?”

“Aren’t you afraid that we might also follow the Buddhist Sect and obtain the new technique?”

The mature woman, who still carried an air of elegance, regained her composure and asked in a deep voice.

“Senior is right; I am aware of what you all wish to understand. However, free things are often the most expensive. If I were to casually tell all the seniors, I’m afraid that not only would I feel at a loss, but seniors would also have their doubts,”

Li Xiaobai chuckled and spoke slowly.

“Well said, name your price. With the elderly witness here, we will definitely give you a satisfactory amount!”

...

Xu Fu and others narrowed their eyes slightly, revealing a shrewd look.

Such secrets naturally weren’t something that could be acquired easily. The young man before them seemed to have spoken of many secrets, but in fact, all these were things they had already known. The purpose of his disclosure was to gain their trust.

But when it came to the crucial point, he suddenly stopped, clearly wanting to negotiate. Although this young man was of tender years, his cunning was anything but small. His manner of handling things was so experienced that it was nothing his disciples could compare with. It was evident he had deftly relieved many of their wealth!

“Senior is magnanimous. Since we are all one family, I naturally don’t feel embarrassed to speak frankly with the seniors.”

“If I were to demand too little, it would be akin to insulting the great Sects. So, how about this, one billion top-grade Immortal Stones from each family, and I will tell the one who pays. How about it, not too excessive, is it?”

Li Xiaobai leisurely sipped his tea and lightly uttered these few words.

“One billion!”

“Are you robbing us!?”

As these words fell, several people immediately became restless, rising to their feet.

Even for them, a billion was an astronomical sum. Who among those present could afford it?

Was just a junior really asking for a billion with such audacity?

Did they think they were running a charity?

“It’s just a billion, if you can’t spare that, how can you get by in this world?”

“He’s demanding it from the power of your Sects behind you, not from you personally. What’s the rush?”

The old beggar said indifferently, and it had to be said, the pretense of being Senior Xiao Lao Di was quite useful at critical moments. Everyone sat back down, calming their minds, and their attitudes eased considerably.

“No matter how you put it, a billion does seem somewhat excessive.”

“Can Sect Master Li perhaps lower it a bit?”

The elegant mature woman suggested as a billion was, after all, not a small amount anywhere. Although Super Sects were wealthy, they did not spend money in such a manner. How could they ensure that the news from this young man’s mouth was worth this price?

If it wasn’t, wouldn’t that be a sheer loss of a billion?

“A billion really isn’t a lot,”

Li Xiaobai shook his head and spoke lightly.

“I believe you all understand the value of this news after hearing what I said just now. News of a new technique is an invaluable treasure. To appraise it with Immortal Stones still puts the seniors in a favorable position. A mere billion really isn’t expensive.”

“Weighing the news of a new technique against a billion top-grade Immortal Stones, the importance of each, I trust the seniors already have a verdict in their hearts,”

Li Xiaobai stated.

“This…”

“Can Sect Master Li really guarantee the authenticity and reliability of this news?”

Despite being reassured, the Semi-Saints still had some concerns and continued to ask.

“Of course, it’s true. I can guarantee that the news of the new technique is what I have witnessed with my own eyes!”

“Moreover, we have Senior Xiao Lao Di here as a witness. Naturally, I would not dare to lie.”

Li Xiaobai spoke with a laugh.

“If that’s the case, I believe you. My Xu Family will pay the billion!”

“However, I don’t have that many Immortal Stones on me, and I’ll need to go back and ask for authorization from the Sect to get the money. May I write an IOU for now?”

After a moment of silence, Xu Fu said.

Li Xiaobai nodded, “Agreed!”

As long as the identity of the old beggar wasn’t exposed and the deterrence remained, these Semi-Saints and even Super Sects would not default on their debts.

The Xu Family was wealthy and robust. Xu Fu took out a small wooden plaque and wrote a line of small characters in an unhurried manner.

“The Xu Family owes Sword Sect Second Peak’s Peak Master Li Xiaobai a billion top-grade Immortal Stones to be delivered within three days, witnessed by Senior Xiao Lao Di!”

“Please keep this well, Sect Master Li. This wooden plaque is made from a millennium purple sandalwood. If you ever need it to forge Magic Treasures in the future, I will gift you a handle as a token of my appreciation,”

Xu Fu said cheerfully.

“Thank you, Senior Xu. The Xu Family of the Southern Continent is indeed generous and spirited. I will eagerly await your esteemed visit in three days!”

Li Xiaobai nodded and, suppressing the joy in his heart, accepted the wooden plaque.

Just like that, a billion was in his hands, adding one more method to ensure his survival.

“Well, since the Xu Family has set an example, the Hundred Flowers Sect cannot show any weakness. In three days, we will deliver one billion top-grade Immortal Stones with both hands; here is the IOU!”

The elegant woman pondered for a moment before making a quick decision.

Seeing this scene, the complexions of the other Semi-Saints changed, they had intended to wait a bit longer to see if the price could be lowered, but they hadn’t expected these two families to be so domineering, delivering a billion top-grade Immortal Stones without even bargaining.

With this development, they too could not help but make promises and write IOUs.

After all, the issue concerned the new technique; if it indeed was a new technique, not getting it would mean falling behind. They were all astute people; either no one gets it, or everyone does.

“This is a debt note from my Wang Family…”

“This is from the Five Poison Cult…”

“This is from the Demon Sealing Sect…”

“This is…”

Looking at the batch of debt notes that appeared in his hand, Li Xiaobai’s eyes gleamed with excitement.

He had made a fortune!

This time, he truly had made a fortune!

A clean profit of ten billion, which was equivalent to being able to throw out ten Semi-Saint level Godzillas, or ten Sea-Calming Divine Needles at once. Without a Saint Realm to stop them, who could withstand them?

This kind of lineup was enough to flatten half of the sects in the Central Origin Realm.

“Hahaha, good, since everyone is so straightforward, then I will share this Buddhist Sect secret with you all!”

“This new method is actually quite simple to explain. I once stumbled upon the Buddhist Sect’s experimental methods; currently within the Buddha Country, they have developed a method that involves using a medium to comprehend the way of Heaven and Earth naturally and obtain the path of cultivation through it,” Li Xiaobai spoke leisurely.

“A medium? May I ask what kind of medium?”

Xu Fu asked.

“Children, freshly born infants who are yet half grown. They have never been in contact with cultivation or even set foot in the Cultivation World; they are like blank slates. Therefore, the Buddhist Sect considers the enlightenment of children to be the most fitting.”

“How is it carried out?”

“With the Power of Faith of the Buddhist Sect, they cleanse the children. Firstly, this allows the children to maintain absolute loyalty to the Buddhist Sect from the day they are born, and secondly, it removes impurities and unclean elements from their minds. After the cleansing, they believe the children will possess a true heart of innocence, which allows them to easily grasp the nature of Heaven and Earth after meditating on the mountains, rivers, winds, and waters,” Li Xiaobai explained slowly.

“SSS!”

“It’s actually like that!”

“To use children as vessels for the new method, not seeking directly, but allowing them to independently understand and master it, to then spread the knowledge afterward. Even if what they comprehend is not the new method, it will definitely be an unparalleled cultivation technique!”

“With this, one can surmise that the Buddha Country is about to produce a large number of high-quality, even top-level Cultivation Techniques. It may not need decades to surpass the powers of the major sects in the Central Origin Realm!”

Hearing Li Xiaobai’s words, everyone present inhaled sharply.

They finally understood why Li Xiaobai was able to calmly reveal this secret; the method researched by the Buddhist Sect was only suitable for them.

After all, only the monks of the Buddhist Sect could control the Power of Faith in their cultivation, and only the Buddhist Sect could wield such a profound Power of Faith to guide a child from birth.

Those who could cultivate to the Half-Saint Realm were all no fools; it was easy to imagine what the consequences would be if the Buddha Country was successful.

This was an action that could change the power structure of the Central Origin Realm!

“I see that Sect Master Li has also brought a group of children with him this time. Could it be that they were rescued from the Buddha Country?”

Xu Fu, with his sharp observations, noted the connection between the carriage of children and the experiments in the Buddha Country and asked with doubt.

“Correct, these children were indeed rescued by me from within the Buddha Country. Theoretically, they are ‘unfinished products,’ seeing as they were only captured by the Buddhist Sect for a few days before I rescued them, so it’s possible the Buddhist Sect had many further methods they hadn’t employed yet.”

“We must rely on the senior members here to investigate further. If you can stop the Buddha Country’s wrongful actions, it will be a deed of immeasurable merit!”

Li Xiaobai said with a light smile.

“May I ask if these children have shown any peculiar abilities, if they have ever understood the way of Heaven and Earth?”

The crowd continued to ask, their eyes intently focused on the hundred children near the temple doors. If what the other party said was true, each of these children must be exceptionally intelligent. If their Sects could possess such talents, they would be worry-free for decades to come.

“Hehe, of course, there is. However, these children are all under my Sword Sect now, making them my disciples. Our bond is deep, so if the seniors here intend to forcibly take them for training, I’m afraid it will only raise a great enemy for their sects in the future.”

Li Xiaobai spoke indifferently, with Senior Xiao Lao Di around, he wasn’t afraid of these people suddenly making a move.

It was precisely because of his fearlessness that these people felt even more wary of Senior Xiao Lao Di.

“Hahaha, Sect Master Li, you jest. We are not that sort of people; we would not engage in such forcible acquisitions. However, we must congratulate the Sword Sect for acquiring such paragons.”

“We may very well be witnessing the rise of a Super Sect!”

Xu Fu laughed heartily and waved his hand, expressing that receiving such news was already rare enough. The immediate priority was to quickly pass the message onto their sects to avoid any complications that might arise over time.

As for the Sword Sect, the monk might run, but the temple won’t; there will be opportunities to address this in the future.

“Indeed, indeed, congratulations to Sect Master Ying and Sect Master Li!”

The Semi-Saints also offered their congratulations without any neglect.

“With such geniuses here, our decision to place disciples in the Sword Sect for cultivation is even firmer. If Sect Master Ying agrees, my Xu Family is willing to donate ten million top-quality Immortal Stones to support and improve the Sword Sect!”

Xu Fu struck while the iron was hot, knowing that the Sword Sect held a great secret, the first step naturally was to build a connection, and this nexus rested with their Disciples.

“Let’s wait for the disciples to come over and hear their thoughts first!”

Ying Diao looked a bit peculiar but still didn’t give a direct answer. Even with these Super Sects praising him, he knew the saying, ‘The temple is too small to accommodate the Dragon King.’ If he were to accept all these disciples without consideration, it would likely lead to endless troubles in the future.

The Sword Sect currently had too many secrets, not to mention the oddities of these hundred children. If the wonders of Tangneng First-class and the Good Stuff Storehouse became widely known, the Sword Sect alone might not be able to protect them. Perhaps Senior Xiao Lao Di could deter them for a while, but he was ultimately just passing through. If one day the Senior left, the Sword Sect would surely become prey on someone else’s chopping block.

“Hahaha, so be it. As elders, we should listen to the opinions of the younger generation; this is how we integrate with the new era!”

Xu Fu spoke laughingly. This portly middle-aged man’s smile hadn’t faded from beginning to end, but it’s often these sorts of people who are the most fearsome.

“Sect Master!”

“The prodigies have been brought here!”

At that moment, the voice of a disciple came from outside the hall.

Ying Diao collected his thoughts and said, “Please, bring them in!”
