Chen Tai’s decision to turn Da Zi Ge into a Daoist soldier (a demon path Daoist soldier) wasn’t a sudden whim.
The advancement of societal technology not only brings people a higher standard of living.
It also magnifies people’s various desires.
Someone like Da Zi Ge, lacking in education but possessing some knowledge, having been around and seen things for a long time while mixing with the vigorous society, had eaten and seen enough.
His essence can be summed up in four words - insatiable greed.
Five Poison Spirit Pill can burn a person’s potential.
Used on Si Ye, it’s to let him regain his youth for a short time.
Used on Da Zi Ge, it’s to enhance his physical fitness.
To ignite their desires.
Therefore, after Si Ye, through offering medicine, climbed up to a certain big shot in Chan Guo.
His mind on controlling "Master Tai" became much heavier.
The person in charge of this, naturally, was Da Zi Ge.
And Da Zi Ge himself, because of his increased strength, developed some other thoughts.
But this fell right into Chen Tai’s calculations.
After all, this Five Poison Spirit Pill, besides giving people a ‘cure-all’ illusion.
Its most important function is to make “medicine people”, which are Daoist soldiers.
In a sense, when Chen Tai chose him.
His fate was decided.
Either die, or become a Daoist soldier.
But actually, this isn’t bad.
After all, in the Xianmo world, Daoist soldiers have a shelf life of two hundred years.
They can even be repaired and used again after being beaten up.
In a sense, that’s considered longevity.
They just lose worldly desires and abilities.
For this native of Chan Guo, it's no loss.
Isn't that right?
……
Da Ban.
Manor.
Cai Shu, along with many of his men gathered together.
And Shen Xing, who had just joined not long ago.
Not only wasn’t he sitting in the corner.
Instead, he was sitting in the front row, surrounded by everyone.
Enjoying the treatment of being the center of attention.
After all, the focus of today’s meeting was — the mysterious "Master Tai".
"Shen Xing, Master Tai is also from your Long Guo. You’ve dealt with him before, tell everyone about the situation first."
Cai Shu, looking somewhat tired, pressed his temples and handed the topic to Shen Xing.
His business wasn't doing well recently.
Previously, Ao Tun, who was killed and framed on Shen Xing, was his subordinate, and also the brother of another subordinate, Dan Tuo.
It was natural to avenge his subordinate.
But unknown to everyone except himself.
Ao Tun’s winery was also an industry that Cai Shu invested in through a third party.
The intention was to distance himself from it. If the flour merchants on the mountain drank the fake alcohol, it would be easy to throw Ao Tun out to take the blame.
And in fact, Dan Tuo and Shen Xing took advantage of this, and successfully avenged Mao Ba.
But the problem is.
Ao Tun is dead, what about the winery?
This involves a very key issue.
Why did Ao Tun add water to his wine?
Why did the winery stop working after Ao Tun died?
The reason is simple.
Cost.
San Bian Po is not a stable place.
Plus, recently the various Min Di Wu in Nan Bo Zhou have started vying for territory.
Besides the Chan Guo official customs and checkpoints.
Various Min Di Wu have increased their extortion.
On various smuggling routes, private checkpoints are as numerous as the hairs on a cow.
Cai Shu’s logistics business has been greatly affected.
The cost of brewing wine has skyrocketed.
If they didn’t add water, even if they sold it on the mountain at ten times the price.
After doing the math, they would still be losing money!
Where can you reason with that?
Originally, Cai Shu used all sorts of means to separate himself from Ao Tun’s business.
But unexpectedly, his subordinates, Dan Tuo and Mao Ba, took matters into their own hands, marking the bottles.
Ao Tun also discovered it.
Leading to their deaths.
And subsequently leading to the winery being shut down.
There was no way, Cai Shu could only use the excuse of paying back money to Shen Xing to get close to Si Ye, who was behind Da Zi Ge.
After all, Si Ye was the biggest border trade boss of this generation.
He was doing a roaring business in the import and export of fruits and beverages.
But as a result, the source of alcohol became dependent on him, turning into a seller’s market.
The cost of Cai Shu’s purchase was completely dependent on Si Ye’s mood.
He can raise the price if he wants, if you don’t like it, you can’t buy.
Plus, Si Ye also climbed up to a certain big shot in Chan Guo.
He looked down on someone like Cai Shu, a local boss who occupied a small piece of land.
In the past few months, Cai Shu was left in an awkward position, unable to do anything.
But Cai Shu was after all a local boss.
He still found out about the root cause of the problem through some clues.
Why did Si Ye’s men frequently go to Xiao Mo Nong?
What were they collecting so many five poisons, which even the natives avoid, for?
You know, recently, many indigenous villages have died because of these poisons.
But it was all suppressed by a mysterious force.
Cai Shu followed the clues.
Plus, Chen Tai wasn't hiding anything.
Cai Shu quickly found the bamboo building that was considered a forbidden area by people nearby.
He also investigated the rough identity of the people inside, and the people who were involved.
Therefore, there was Shen Xing and his group.
Shen Xing’s reply was very positive.
But another problem arose.
Who is this "Master Tai"?
Why did he receive so much attention from Si Ye?
Cai Shu is a smart man, and he quickly linked it to the "spirit medicine".
Legend says that "spirit medicine" can make people stay young forever.
Have a strong libido.
Live forever.
"Bullshit!"
Cai Shu 100% didn't believe it.
But there's no smoke without fire in rumors.
Si Ye suddenly went from a border trade boss to a guest of honor of the Yang Guang authorities.
What did he rely on?
Cai Shu doesn’t think there’s no connection between the two.
At least it's a breakthrough.
So.
"Shen Xing, you said this Master Tai, what does he like?"
"Gold? Silver? Gems?"
Cai Shu suddenly asked.
Shen Xing scratched the back of his head.
"I really don’t know. Tai Ge didn’t even wear a piece of jewelry, he’s the complete opposite of Wu Kuang Chang."
"I think he only likes those spiders, snakes, scorpions, that kind of stuff."
After Shen Xing said those names, he felt a chill down his spine.
After all, the scene of venomous spiders crawling around in Chen Tai's hands was really terrifying.
"Venomous creatures."
Cai Shu's face changed.
Who plays with these things barehanded?
From this point of view, this Master Tai is definitely not an ordinary person in the literal sense.
Worth taking a gamble!
"Dan Tuo!"
He shouted.
"Yes." A young man with semi-long hair responded from the side.
"Make a golden Buddha statue, and take that stone with you. Go see this Master Tai with me."
