Chapter 3178: Riches and Dangers Go Hand in Hand

vast Zixinglou market was eerily quiet.After Xiaqing's commotion, the entire roof was blown off. You could see the sky directly from inside.Everyone stood there dumbfounded, speechless. This was the...Hu Bingyu's lips curled into a smile, seemingly very satisfied with his reaction.

"Do you know who recommended you for the position of deputy head of the Spirit Medicine Hall"

"I don't know."

Ye Bufan shook his head, to this day he still couldn't figure out what was going on.

Hu Bingyu smiled faintly: "The fifth peak master, Bai Lingpu, how is it Didn't you expect it"

"This...this can't be possible"

Ye Bufan quickly waved his hand and said, "That old man doesn't seem like a good person at all. A fox giving New Year greetings to chickens is never a good sign. I won't take this position of deputy hall master!"

After he finished speaking, he was about to return the token in his hand.

Huabingyu said, “Don't worry, take it easy. In fact, this is a gift I'm giving you, just like the consultation fee you charged me before.”

"Ye Bufan was increasingly dumbfounded: 'What's going on Didn't you say he recommended me How did it become a gift from you' "

"Listen to me carefully."

Hua Bingyu recounted the illness of the Emperor of the Bingqiong Empire from beginning to end, and then said, "I received this news immediately. Since Ya Lao is not here, you are the most suitable person to handle this."

"Oh!"

Ye Bufan nodded and continued to wait for the next words.

Hua Bingyu continued, "Actually, I could have made the decision to send you to diagnose the illness myself. The reason I called all the peak masters together was to give you this gift."

Although I have the authority to make this decision, appointing you as the deputy head of the Spirit Medicine Hall directly might seem too autocratic.

Now, Bai Lingpu proposed it, and everyone else fully agreed. There was complete consensus, without any objections.

Ye Bufan glanced at Hua Bingyu. This woman lived up to her reputation as the Great Elder, taking charge of the entire sect in place of the Sect Master. Her cunning and scheming were beyond compare.

"But Elder, how can you be sure that Bai Lingpu will speak up for me"

Huabingyu said: "Who do you think was behind the person who attacked you that day"

"This..." Let me know if you'd like to translate anything else!

Ye Bufan hesitated for a moment and said, "I have also had suspicions in private, including the Yang brothers. They shouldn't harbor such deep resentment towards me. Someone must be behind this."

But looking at the entire Liuguangjian Sect, the ones who have both the motive and the ability are the masters of the third peak and the fifth peak.

But I'm just suspicious, there's no evidence."

"Yeah, I was thinking the same thing."

Hu Bingyu said, "I only had a five percent suspicion of the two of them before, but through today's events, I can be one hundred percent certain."

Your grievances with Fifth Peak are there for all to see, and Bai Lingpu is a smiling fox who is not magnanimous at all.

Even if everyone recommended you as the deputy hall master of the Spirit Medicine Hall, he wouldn't agree.

The only reason he would bring it up on his own is that he wants you to leave the sect, then he can easily get rid of you!

So now I can be certain that the person who attacked that night must have been Bai Lingpu.

"This…"

Ye Bufan felt even more deeply that this woman was not only beautiful, with a good figure, but also extremely intelligent. She had seen through Bai Lingpu, that old fox, so clearly.

"In that case, I'd rather not go. My life is more important."

Hu Bingyu smiled at him: "If you don't go, this readily available Lingyao Hall deputy hall master will be gone."

Ye Bufan waved his hand: "No, no, it doesn't matter if it is or not."

"Really" Hu Bingyu said, "If you were sitting in the position of the Deputy Hall Master, you would be in control of all the spiritual herbs and grasses of the entire sect."

"Uh..."

Ye Bufan's eyes lit up instantly. What he needed most right now was cultivation resources and spirit herbs.

Although I have made significant progress in diagnosing patients these days, it is still not enough.

To quickly improve his cultivation and reach the Golden Immortal realm, he needed a sufficient amount of True Spirit Pills. However, he was still short of some medicinal herbs.

"Do you mean that as long as I become the deputy head, I can freely use the sect's spirit medicines and herbs"

"That's not it either."

Hu Bingyu said, "The sect has rules. The head and deputy head of the Pharmacy Hall must pay 30% of the fee if they use herbs."

That means that if you sell 10,000 low-grade cash to someone else, you only need to take three thousand.

Another way to avoid fees is to take the medicinal herbs you receive, refine them into pills, and return one pill as payment.

"What a good deal!"

Ye Bufan was filled with excitement. Unlike ordinary alchemists, his success rate in refining pills was 100%.

Generally, it takes three furnaces to successfully refine a batch of pills. A pill refiner who can succeed with one furnace is considered quite good. But he was different; having inherited the legacy of the Ancient Medical School, almost every furnace yielded a perfect batch of nine pills.

In that case, handing over a single pill as payment to the Spirit Medicine Hall wouldn't be an issue. That is to say, he could practically take any spirit medicine from the entire Spirit Medicine Hall at will.

"Well... then I guess I'll go!"

Although leaving the sect carries great risks, the rewards are also substantial.

As the saying goes, wealth and honor lie in danger, and this is even more true for cultivating immortality. If one is timid, they will be unable to quickly acquire cultivation resources. Ye Bufan still decided to take a risk.

And he also has a number of trump cards, such as the Dragon King's Palace and Thunder God Arrow. Most importantly, he has always been playing dumb to hide his strength. In this situation, the other party would not send someone too strong to assassinate him.

And as soon as they leave the sect, they can change their appearance at a suitable opportunity. If they can't be found by the other party, they'll be safe.

"That's really about money, not life."

Huā Bīngyú smiled faintly, "Rest assured, you are the treasure of the sect now, and nothing will ever put you in danger."

"I've arranged for two guardians from the Martial God Temple to protect you personally. Safety is not a concern."

"That's wonderful, thank you Elder."

Ye Bufan asked, "What are the strengths of the two Dharma Protectors"

Hua Bingyu said: "Dàluó Xiān!"

"This is impressive, then I can rest assured."

"Here, take this too. It could save your life if things get desperate."

Having said that, Hua Bingyu reached out and took out two golden talismans. Ye Bufan had seen them before; they were indeed the Bai Li Dun Kong Talismans.

"Still, Elder is generous, with two at a time."

Ye Bufan grinned and took the talisman into his hands. This thing was a life-saving treasure.

Huā Bīngyú gave him a withering look. “What generosity This was given to me by the Sect Master. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have any.”

"Oh! Thank you, Master."

Ye Bufan once again thanked him, and secretly rejoiced in his heart. It seemed that strength decided everything.

Since returning from the Fallen Immortal Bog, the Grand Elder's attitude towards himself has changed. It seems it must be related to his own talent.

Including that unseen Sect Master, if I didn't possess heaven-defying medical skills, capable of helping the Sect's core disciples elevate their cultivation, they probably wouldn't treat me with such importance. Their first move was to bestow two Hundred-Li Void Escape Talismans.

"Alright, you better get started on your preparations. I'll have the two protectors come for you first thing tomorrow morning."

"Got it."

Ye Bufan responded with a sound, then turned and left the hall.ave such a drastic effect on the formation."You're not satisfied, are you I'll send you to the afterlife first."Ye Bufan gave the short, powerful spirit fairy a cold smile. Then, a thick bolt of light...
