However, Shi Zhongkui still has a bottom line. Anyone who treats him well will repay him even if he has a purpose.

No matter what happens, treat it as an exchange of equal value.

Since people invest first, it is normal to expect returns.

Moreover, Shi Zhongkui has realized the importance of backstage and backing, so he will not foolishly refuse the kindness of his elders.

As for whether masters, uncles and masters will let themselves die in the future, this is actually the same as when starting a company and doing business, whether angel investors can feel the value and importance of the founder and not be willing to turn against them and seize power.

Shi Zhongkui, who wanted to understand this, smiled and thanked Master Yuding with a big gift.

Then Shi Zhongkui realized that he didn't need to ask about getting married to the Third Holy Mother just because Master Yuding suddenly appeared and passed down the fourth, fifth and sixth levels of Eighty-nine Mysterious Skills.

Taking the opportunity to ask Master Yuding many things related to the practice of the Eight-Nine Mysterious Gong, Shi Zhongkui quickly resigned and ran directly to Tushita Palace.

The two old men had their own plans, and Shi Zhongkui was not surprised at all.

Since they are all going to be sold, of course they need to find someone with a higher bid and stronger capabilities to cooperate. They can also use Laoshang Laojun to restrict Taiyi and Yuding.

Miaoyan Palace and Tushita Palace were not too far apart. When Master Yuding noticed that Shi Zhongkui was heading in the direction of Tushita Palace, he couldn't help but look at Master Taiyi with some helplessness and amusement and said, "Brother, this disciple of yours is quite clever.

It’s too much.”

Master Taiyi didn't care either. After all, Shi Zhongkui's behavior that even his master was on guard against had happened not once or twice.

And after seeing that he could not get much benefit from his master, Shi Zhongkui ran to Tushita Palace far more often than he came to Miaoyan Palace.

He smiled and said, "Wouldn't it be better to be smarter?"

"That's right." Master Yuding thought for a while and nodded. "Being smarter will save us from losses. Moreover, compared with the idiots under the disciples of our senior fellow apprentices, we can also save a lot of worry."

After saying that, Master Yuding asked worriedly, "Nephew Shi didn't ask about the marriage, will something happen?"

"Don't worry," Master Taiyi said with a smile, "It's not an exaggeration to say that my disciple has grown an exquisite heart with seven orifices.

As soon as you show up here and teach him the Eight-nine Mysterious Techniques, that kid will definitely understand your and my attitude."

Master Yuding thought for a moment and nodded, then frowned and said, "According to Yang Jian's wishes, the Queen Mother was the first to bring up the matter of getting married. Do we want to do it later?"

Master Taiyi shook his head before Yuding finished speaking, "My married daughter is throwing water away, and my wife's uncle is not my biological uncle. No matter how close the relationship is, I can't get close to my mentor and elders.

Besides, the Jade Emperor and Queen Mother are reluctant to give her even a decent treasure, so how can there be any kindness at all.

As long as I treat my disciple sincerely, he will naturally know what to choose.

The Queen Mother did this simply because she wanted to use my disciple to express her desire to improve the relationship between the two religions.

To prevent the human religion, the Chan religion and the Western religion from compromising each other and leaving the Jade Emperor aside."

Only then did Master Yuding feel relieved, and it was not possible for immortals and gods to form a Taoist couple without the approval of the Queen Mother.

——

When Shi Zhongkui arrived at Tushita Palace and saw Lao Jun, he quickly understood from Lao Jun's smile that he must have known about the Three Holy Mothers.

Fortunately, Shi Zhongkui is realistic enough.

Being able to marry a Taoist monk who has enough status and should be pretty is considered an advantage, and I don't care even if I feel dissatisfied.

However, in order to show his importance, Shi Zhongkui cupped his hands and said, "Uncle, my disciple has recently noticed that the Taiqing Changyuan Pill has signs of improving its efficacy."

The so-called Taiqing Changyuan Pill is the 4 spirit peaches in the space farm. Eating one will increase your life span by one year, and the old man will regard Shi Zhongkui as his disciple who must never get into trouble.

Now that I heard that Space Spirit Peach was about to advance, my eyes suddenly lit up.

Then he realized that Shi Zhongkui had not mentioned it earlier or later, so he must have revealed it on purpose.

He secretly thought that this monkey was really clever. He was afraid that the elders of his master might be scheming against him regarding the Three Holy Mothers, so he immediately took out greater benefits to protect himself.

As long as Laojun can benefit from teaching, he naturally doesn't care what Shi Zhongkui is worried about.

At this time, Shi Zhongkui already had 410,000 merit points, and the 200,000 merit points needed to upgrade the space farm and spiritual peaches was nothing.

Moreover, Shi Zhongkui has been using the spiritual energy absorbed in heaven over the years to upgrade the 'well'. After all, upgrading a 4 well to 5 requires millions of merit points.

In terms of return, it is definitely more cost-effective to upgrade the water well first.

It can also avoid hidden dangers caused by the farm, spiritual peach, and innate lotus platform absorbing spiritual energy too quickly.

Laojun wanted to know how many years of advanced spiritual peach could be added to one's life after eating one, so he asked without any hesitation, "What do you want?"

Shi Zhongkui naturally wants the Nine-turn Golden Pill, the Nine-turn Resurrection Pill, and treasures that can improve the farm, the spiritual peach tree, and even the innate lotus platform.

After hesitating for a moment, Shi Zhongkui said, "Uncle, when negotiating with the Western Sect this time, can you ask for some treasures that can upgrade the disciple's lotus pedestal from the seventh grade to the eighth grade?"

But Laojun shook his head without even thinking about it.

Under Shi Zhongkui's surprised and uneasy eyes, Lao Jun said seriously, "Have you ever thought about it, if you put forward this condition, you will be taking the initiative to tell the Western religion the secret of how the lotus platform in your hand can continuously improve its grade."

Shi Zhongkui was stunned for a moment, and then he helplessly remained silent, which seemed to agree with Lao Jun's guess and worry.

"But even if the disciples try their best to cultivate the lotus platform of creation, in the end they still lack the innate source that can advance the lotus platform."

The problem that Shi Zhongkui had nothing to do about was actually not a problem for Laojun.

After all, in the eyes of a saint, unless the ninth-grade lotus platform is promoted to the tenth grade, the seventh-grade or eighth-grade lotus platform is really not a great treasure.

"Old Taoist, I can help you ask Saints Taiqing and Yuqing for help, but if I were you, I would wait until the eighth grade is promoted to the ninth grade before I report to the two saints."

With these words, Shi Zhongkui immediately shut up and stopped mentioning the matter.

And he also vaguely guessed that it was not that Laojun didn't want to help, but that he wanted to see the effect of the farm's spiritual peaches first.

Even if it is worth investing in, maybe Laojun himself has treasures to help improve the level of the Lotus Platform of Creation.

After all, this old man probably attaches more importance to the Human Religion than the leader of the Human Religion, Taiqing Saint.

The reason is very simple. After the Battle of the Conferred Gods, Saint Taiqing, as the leader of the Human Religion, actually handed over the management of the Human Religion to Yuanshi Tianzun, who liked to take care of things.

And Taishang Laojun is the clone of Taiqing Saint, and is qualified enough to take care of the affairs of the people's religion. Naturally, he does not want Yuanshi Tianzun to really take charge of all the things of the people's religion.

Of course, for a person like Shi Zhongkui, who has only been practicing for more than ten years and is only in his thirties, a catastrophe of 129,600 years is too long.

But for immortals like Laojun who have experienced this, if they don't look further ahead, it will definitely be a big trouble when things come to pass.

That’s why I value the spiritual peach provided by Shi Zhongkui so much to increase his lifespan.

Once the people teach, the disciples of the Chan religion will not need to rely on flat peaches to increase their lifespan in the future to survive the great catastrophes of heaven and earth. Not to mention becoming kings and hegemons, at least they will not need to be coerced by others.
