How about Ba Zi Ge’s influence in San Bian Po?
Not big.
Not small either.
In the area of Xiao Mo Nong.
He has over a dozen trusted brothers.
And counting the outer circle, he has nearly a hundred men in total.
Above him, there is the biggest border trade boss in Ma Jie (place name) – Fourth Master.
In a way.
He still does legitimate business.
After politely declining the woman Ba Zi Ge offered.
Chen Tai has been focusing on recovering in Xiao Mo Nong these past few days.
The Bewitching Technique he used to control Ba Zi Ge isn’t a very high level skill.
With his current cultivation, not even reaching the Qi Refinement stage.
The effect of each use lasts only for three days.
Furthermore, the effect will gradually weaken with each subsequent use.
But Chen Tai has his own plans.
Ba Zi Ge is nothing but a small fry that he can kill with a wave of his hand.
But what after killing him?
These days, he has been inquiring about the various forces in San Bian Po.
They are intertwined and chaotic, a mess.
With his abilities, eliminating them all would not take much effort.
But would he be able to successfully control San Bian Po afterwards?
As a Demon Cultivator.
Chen Tai wouldn’t waste time managing mundane affairs.
His centuries of experience.
And all the knowledge he has accumulated throughout the years.
All tell him that hiding behind the scenes and using proxies is the safest way.
But Ba Zi Ge’s status and position are not enough.
So Ba Zi Ge is merely a stepping stone for Chen Tai.
He can use Ba Zi Ge’s connection to get close to and control Fourth Master.
Then gradually recover his cultivation.
With his cultivation restored, he will have enough protection against all kinds of firearms.
Besides spending his time in a secret room recovering his cultivation.
He’s also been working on another task, refining a pill from the Five Poison Materia Medica.
Simply put, it is using the power of the five poisons to unleash the body’s potential.
Making people healthier, more mentally agile, women more beautiful, and men younger, it’s all benefits without any drawbacks.
The only downside is that it shortens one’s lifespan.
But it’s not a big deal.
Right?
Inside the room.
Chen Tai took a sheep heart from the plastic bag Ba Zi Ge brought, and chanted a spell silently.
Soon, several poisonous creatures crawled down from the bamboo house’s roof, making a rustling sound.
Spider. (Not a gecko)
Snake.
Scorpion.
Centipede.
Toad.
These poisonous creatures crawled onto the sheep heart, each occupying a piece of territory, starting to suck blood and eat flesh.
Although these creatures are not big.
But under Chen Tai’s nurturing, each one is plump and healthy, with colorful stripes.
They are clearly highly poisonous creatures.
Seeing this, Little Ba Zi’s eyelids twitched.
But without Chen Tai’s permission, he dared not leave.
This was also something Chen Tai did on purpose.
To plant seeds of fear in his heart.
So even after the Bewitching Technique wears off in two days.
He won’t dare do anything.
He’ll only see him as a capable sorcerer.
And be even more respectful.
After these poisonous creatures finished eating the sheep heart.
Chen Tai didn’t let them leave like he usually does.
Instead, he swept them into a jar with a flick of his wrist.
He took out a pestle.
Without any mercy, he pounded them inside.
Until ninety-nine, eighty-one times, the five poisons in the jar were all pounded into a puddle of mud.
Chen Tai reached in and kneaded them into several black pellets.
He placed them in a medicinal furnace to steam.
After finishing all this, Chen Tai turned around.
Only then did he “notice” Ba Zi Ge was still there.
“Is there something you need?”
He asked.
Ba Zi Ge’s face kept changing, struggling.
After a while.
“That, Kang Ge, my boss, Fourth Master, wants to see you, bro.”
He scratched the back of his head, looking uncomfortable.
Chen Tai pretended not to know, “Fourth Master? How does he know about me?”
Ba Zi Ge’s brows furrowed even tighter.
“I must find out which bastard spread the word and kill him!”
Chen Tai wasn’t surprised by his attitude.
Everyone has ambition.
Ba Zi Ge also dreams of being a big brother.
Especially after witnessing Chen Tai’s abilities.
Instead of being afraid of being chosen by the sorcerer.
He was trembling with excitement, wanting to climb onto the sorcerer’s leg.
But his boss, Fourth Master.
He also has eyes and ears under his command, watching his every move.
Knowing that his man “invited” such a powerful person, naturally, he also got the news quickly.
As for why he’s only asking to meet Chen Tai now.
It’s simply because, through various channels, he has more or less learned about Chen Tai’s “real abilities.”
Of course, this was also Chen Tai’s goal.
What is the orthodox Demon Cultivator like?
Going around killing and setting fires, leaving no chickens or dogs alive wherever they go?
Come on! If you do that, Heaven will send down a Heavenly Tribulation to destroy you in a minute.
The traditional Demon Cultivator path is about living in the world.
Using the name of Daoism or Buddhism to get close to mortal kingdoms.
Through powerful individuals, they gather cultivation resources.
Then give a small portion of the finished product to the powerful individuals as a return.
This way, going through multiple layers, even the greatest karma won’t fall directly on the Demon Cultivator.
And Chen Tai’s previous Unending Underworld Sect.
Before being destroyed by the combined forces of the Righteous Path.
It has already embarked on a path of promoting production and reproduction, a virtuous cycle.
Ahem, enough talk.
Facing the nervous Ba Zi Ge.
Chen Tai smiled slightly.
“Then bring him here.”
