*Puff!*
County Magistrate Cao Man, who had endured it all night, could no longer hold back.
He spat out a mouthful of blood, three liters of it.
"Quickly, quickly! His Lordship is spitting blood again, hurry over!"
Under the command of the butler, a group of servants rushed forward, some supporting County Magistrate Cao Man, others holding basins to catch the blood...
A scene of chaos ensued.
Gao Chao, the top-tier assassin of Heaven's Rank One, shook his head helplessly.
Sigh!
Things had turned out this way, it was a bit awkward!
But fortunately, he was prepared!
Gao Chao reached out and tossed over a golden card.
"The mission failed again. As an apology, here's a 40% off discount card! For our next collaboration, you can get a 40% discount with this card!"
With that, Gao Chao turned to leave.
"Wait..."
County Magistrate Cao Man weakly raised his hand.
"Mr. Top Talent of Heaven's Rank One, you are the most powerful assassin on the Heaven's Rank, aren't you? I want to hire you to assassinate the rebel leader!"
Cao Man, who never gave up!
This "most beautiful county magistrate of the Great New Dynasty," his determination and perseverance were truly admirable!
Where you fall, you get back up!
Even after two bitter defeats, Cao Man refused to admit defeat.
There are always three chances!
I, Cao Man, must kill the rebel leader Liu Xiuer and eliminate this threat to the country!
Gao Chao, the top-tier assassin of Heaven's Rank One, frowned.
"First, I am the top-tier assassin of Heaven's Rank One, not 'Top Talent'. Second, my price is very high!"
County Magistrate Cao Man's face was pale from excessive blood loss, but his eyes were firmer than ever.
"Money is not a problem. I will immediately arrange to sell off my assets! Give me one month, and I can gather the spirit stones!"
Gao Chao nodded.
"Alright, see you in a month!"
With that, the figure of the top-tier assassin of Heaven's Rank One transformed into countless black smoke and disappeared.
Another déjà vu.
That Technician Number Seven, it seemed he left in the same way last time, and then... he defected!
Can't think about it!
Must not overthink!
County Magistrate Cao Man shook his head, his gaze firm once more.
This time, he believed it would succeed!
Let's go!
"Guards, go and sell off my assets..."
[Ding! Cao County Magistrate "Cao Man" is selling off his assets to assassinate your founding disciple "Liu Xiuer"...]
Inside the cave.
Hao Ren
彡（—＿—；）彡
Hao Ren just wanted to ask, how "wicked" could Cao family's ancestors have been for their Cao family to produce such a "filial" son like Cao Man!
Hao Ren had briefly tallied up Cao Man's limited appearances in the plot; he was either "selling off his assets" or "on his way to sell off his assets"...
Uh, speaking of which, the Cao family's assets were truly vast. They had sold off several rounds, and there were still more!
Speechless!
Speaking of which, this "top-tier assassin of Heaven's Rank One" that County Magistrate Cao Man found this time seemed quite formidable.
After all, he was the "top talent," uh, golden medal, golden medal assassin, the expensive kind!
Would Liu Xiuer be in danger... not a chance!
Hao Ren shook his head.
That guy named "Gao Chao," what kind of name was that, Gao... Chao... Chao... Whatever, anyway, as long as he dared to appear before Liu Xiuer, he would undoubtedly be "a meat bun thrown to a dog." He would definitely kneel down and shout "Master" on the spot.
...
Time flows like water, and years fly by.
In the blink of an eye, another month had passed.
Many things had happened in this month.
First, Hao Ren's "Blind Box Auction" had successfully concluded.
A total of over eight hundred "Cave Profound Secret Tokens" were auctioned off by Hao Ren, netting him a handsome profit.
As for the remaining five hundred "Cave Profound Secret Tokens," Hao Ren had no intention of selling them.
He would leave them for the cultivators of the "Eastern Desolation Mountain Range" to use!
Regarding this matter.
Hao Ren summoned "First Generation Patriarch of the Dehua Divine Sect" Yun Zhenting and "Second Generation Patriarch of the Dehua Divine Sect" Qingfeng Zhenren into the cave and held a small meeting.
Regarding the distribution of the five hundred "Cave Profound Secret Tokens"!
Yun Zhenting and Qingfeng Zhenren diligently formulated the best plan.
This plan was fair, just, and open!
It catered to the interests of the various cultivation forces in the "Eastern Desolation Mountain Range" while also showcasing the overall strength of the "Eastern Desolation Mountain Realm"!
It was perfect!
Hao Ren was very satisfied. He handed over the five hundred "Cave Profound Secret Tokens" to Yun Zhenting and Qingfeng Zhenren, entrusting them with the responsibility of managing this matter.
This move again earned Hao Ren a lot of goodwill.
The cultivators of the "Eastern Desolation Mountain Range" were deeply grateful to Hao Ren.
Senior is too caring for us!
So moving!
These fellows gathered together again and began to wail their battle songs.
Senior is the light, Senior is the electricity, Senior is the only myth...
Led by Fang Tian, the Sect Master of "Tianyuan Dao Sect," the external cultivators, by rights, should have left by now.
The main purpose of these cultivators coming to the "Eastern Desolation Mountain Range" was to acquire "Cave Profound Secret Tokens." Now that the "Blind Box Auction" was over, they had no reason to stay.
But... no one was willing to leave!
It was too great here!
They had "Sage Dragon Tooth Rice" to eat!
They had "Dragon Tooth Rice Wine" to drink!
And every month, the "Starry Spiritual Light" that lasted for three seconds.
When they were tired from cultivation, they could also play "Dou Dizhu" for entertainment.
This life was like that of an immortal!
They didn't want to leave!
Who would be foolish enough to leave this kind of "public expense feast" divine life!
Moreover, the most crucial thing was that staying in the "Purple Jade Bamboo Forest" offered a chance to see Senior!
Senior was a god-like figure!
His casual guidance could directly lead to "eightfold phenomena and the enlightenment of the world."
Even now, there was still a "giant enlightenment platform" in front of the cave, with "profound sounds of the Great Dao" echoing incessantly.
Dao Ke Dao... Dao Ke Dao... Dao Ke Dao...
Cultivators who ascended the "enlightenment platform," as long as their foundation was stable and they weren't blown down by the "profound sounds of the Great Dao," could enter a state of "enlightenment" within one minute at most.
Now, dozens of people were "enlightening" on the "enlightenment platform" every day.
Cultivators entering enlightenment in batches was an unimaginable matter.
Fang Tian and the others increasingly revered and admired Senior.
Senior is the light, Senior is the electricity, Senior is the only myth...
Each time they sang their battle songs with more fervor and more wailing!
In the past few days, Fang Tian, Xianhe Zhenren, Li Saifeng, and others, as representatives of the external cultivators, had formally negotiated with Yun Zhenting and Qingfeng Zhenren for two rounds.
The core demand of the negotiation was only one: could they ask Senior to impart knowledge again?
The "Cave Profound Secret Realm" would open in a year.
At that time, a large number of Golden Core cultivators would enter it.
Not only cultivators from the "Great New Dynasty," but also many overseas cultivators and cultivators from immortal blessed lands.
The competitive pressure would be immense!
If everyone's strength improved, they would definitely be able to crush other cultivation realms in the "Cave Profound Secret Realm" and obtain more heavenly treasures!
