Chapter 34 Qin Fang's Greed
On the other side, Qin Fang's nominal master, Li Huayuan, was clearly unaware of the current state of mind of his two newly accepted disciples.
Han Li is still alright...
But if he knew Qin Fang's ulterior motives, he would probably be furious.
Heaven and earth bear witness!
He was in such a good mood because he won the bet that he decided to take on another disciple in the Qi Refining stage.
I had absolutely no intention of keeping the elixir for myself.
Even though it was Han Li's twenty-odd spiritual herbs, he had no intention of keeping even half of them this time!
The reason is quite simple...
The reason Li Huayuan took on disciples was because the losses were too great. Not only had he wasted time leading the team to the Blood Forbidden Land, but he would also have to refine materials for others for the next few decades.
In addition, his Daoist partner needed some spiritual medicine, which led to his idea of taking Han Li as his disciple.
From the very beginning, Li Huayuan was after Han Li's elixir.
But this time it was completely different~ Li Huayuan won a great victory in the betting battle! He directly won the demon core of Qingxu Sect and the talisman treasure of Old Monster Qiong of Yanyue Sect.
Li Huayuan looked down on those few medicinal herbs.
Even if one truly needs a few of these spiritual herbs for their Daoist partner, they can simply purchase them from the sect using spirit stones.
For a Core Formation cultivator like him to make this request, the sect will try its best to fulfill it.
Therefore, it was not at all what Qin Fang thought. It was Li Huayuan who coveted the spiritual herbs the two had brought out from the forbidden area, which is why he accepted them as disciples.
He... was simply caught up in the thrill of winning and got carried away.
As for why the others weren't accepted?
This was consistent with Qin Fang's thoughts. Those people all had family backgrounds, which were too complicated, and most of them also had Core Formation stage ancestors protecting them, so it was not his turn to take them as disciples.
Therefore, they chose Qin Fang, who brought out ten spiritual herbs, from among the shorter ones.
Of course……
Qin Fang is currently unaware of all of this. He knows what happened in the Primordial Void and naturally assumes that Li Huayuan took him as a disciple for the forbidden land's spiritual herbs.
When the sect finally distributed the Foundation Establishment Pills, Qin Fang was still suspicious about it for a while...
That's a story for later, so let's leave it at that for now.
…………
Yellow Maple Valley, inside the martial arts hall.
Two monks dressed in yellow disciple robes sat facing each other at a low table.
"Junior Brother... Junior Brother."
"Do you know Master's true intentions in accepting us as his disciples?"
Seeing that the pleasantries had been exchanged enough, Han Li asked a question.
When he spoke, Han Li was still a little unaccustomed to it. After all, he had always called Qin Fang "Senior Brother" before, and now he had to change his address to "Junior Brother," which naturally felt a bit awkward.
"Tsk~!"
"Know……"
Qin Fang felt a pain in his teeth, but the man in front of him was his 'good brother' for life! And also his 'good neighbor'!
Even if he was angry, he wouldn't vent it on Han Li.
Upon hearing Qin Fang's reply, Han Li's expression immediately hardened, and his face became extremely solemn.
"Junior Brother Qin, could you please tell me the inside story...?"
Han Li grabbed the storage bag at his waist and placed it in Qin Fang's hand.
"Sigh~"
"What is Senior Brother Han doing?!"
"If you have any questions, just ask... It would be too cliché for us brothers to talk about spirit stones."
Qin Fang, with his sharp eyes and quick wit, was extremely satisfied with the assistance Han Li had provided, and promptly grabbed the storage bag tightly in his hand.
Talking about spirit stones is too cliché!
Why don't you let go of my hand now...?
Han Li was speechless.
"It's nothing... just a small token of my appreciation. I hope Junior Brother Qin won't find it offensive."
Han Li was not being honest with himself; at least on the surface, it was impossible to tell that he was.
"No problem, no problem at all~"
Qin Fang was delighted to find about ten spirit stones safely placed in his storage bag.
originally……
Qin Fang planned to show some flaws in Han Li's mind, such as being "money-grubbing".
It is essential to make Han Li feel that Qin Fang is someone who can be easily persuaded as long as money is involved.
This idea was the result of Qin Fang's painstaking efforts!
It should be noted that Han Li's wariness is boundless, and there are very few people he can confide in.
Only those who clearly have "personality flaws" can barely be considered Han Li's friends!
The more cunning and calculating a person is, the more wary Han Li will be of them.
Qin Fang didn't expect his relationship with Han Li to reach the point of being inseparable... but he at least wanted to make sure that Han Li wouldn't be too wary of him.
Only in this way could he frequently appear near Han Li in the future and use the Zhuanzhuan second-hand platform to extract benefits from Han Li.
Therefore, a greedy image is the most suitable 'label' for Qin Fang!
This "label" will not only not cause him any loss, but will also allow him to indirectly earn some spirit stones.
Moreover! Trading items on the Zhuanzhuan platform also requires spirit stones, so everything is just right.
"Junior brother, do you have some reservations about Master accepting us as his students?"
Since Qin Fang had accepted the money, he naturally had to do the job.
"To be honest, junior brother... I'm usually quite carefree, so being suddenly accepted by Master has made me a little uneasy."
"Furthermore, seeing that you seemed troubled that day, I wondered if you... might know something?"
Han Li said, half-jokingly.
"Well……"
"Senior brother, what kind of reward do you think you'll get for submitting so much material this time?"
Qin Fang didn't answer but asked a question instead.
"It should be enough to exchange for about three Foundation Establishment Pills. I inquired before going to the forbidden area; it should be around ten spiritual herbs..."
"You can exchange them for a Foundation Establishment Pill. This time I handed over nearly thirty spiritual herbs."
"At the very least... we should be able to exchange it for two Foundation Establishment Pills, right?!"
Han Li was somewhat puzzled.
"Hmph!"
Upon hearing this, Qin Fang was immediately enraged.
This wasn't directed at Han Li, but at his cheap master, Li Huayuan!
"Wait a few days for the rewards to be distributed..."
"If Senior Brother is lucky, he might even get two Foundation Establishment Pills."
"If... if we're unlucky, we might only have one Foundation Establishment Pill left~"
Qin Fang said.
"What?!~"
"How could this happen?! Could someone be withholding the reward...?"
"But what does this have to do with our master accepting disciples?"
Han Li was first startled, then looked puzzled.
"Why……"
There are no deductions; everyone else will receive their full reward.
"Only my senior brother and I will have our rewards halved."
Qin Fang sighed and spoke slowly.
"Could it be because of Master...?"
Han Li was surprised.
"right."
"My senior brother is alright, but I'm in a terrible situation!"
"Going through all that trouble, risking death to venture into forbidden territory, and possibly ending up with nothing..."
"No matter what happens to my junior brother, he will at least have a Foundation Establishment Pill as a reward."
"As for me... I might not even see a single hair of a Foundation Establishment Pill!"
Qin Fang genuinely expressed his speechlessness.
...half an hour later.
Han Li walked out of the martial arts hall with a heavy expression. Only after he had walked a distance did the heavy expression on his face disappear, replaced by a look of relief.
What he was most worried about was that there might be some trap hidden in the matter of taking on apprentices that would be detrimental to him.
The information Han Li had learned from Qin Fang actually put his mind at ease.
Foundation Building Pill?
He didn't care at all whether the sect gave him two Foundation Establishment Pills, three Foundation Establishment Pills, or even just one Foundation Establishment Pill!
Anyway, he was already planning to refine the Foundation Establishment Pill himself...
"Junior Brother Qin..."
After Han Li stepped on the magical artifact and flew a long way, he turned his head to look at the martial arts hall.
"He's just unlucky. There's nothing I can do to help him in this matter."
After saying this quietly, Han Li stepped onto the magical artifact and headed towards the medicine garden.
