"I don't know. I have a feeling that the general who issued the wanted notice doesn't really want to catch you. Otherwise, he wouldn't have only given such a small reward."
"No, I have to raise the bounty even more. How much do you think I could increase the bounty if I summoned the God of Abundance to the Immortal Ship?"
"Calm down. It's okay if it's less. Our goal isn't to earn credits, is it?" Qingque grabbed Chen Li's arm instantly.
"alright."
……
"..."
"..."
Qingque: You mean that after I reported you, the Yunqi Army successfully found you based on my clues, and you were successfully captured, so the plan was half successful.
Dad: That's right.
Qingque: By the way, could you change your screen name first?
Dad: No way.
Qingque: Okay, but what's going on now? Why has your bounty increased again? And why is there another charge of colluding with the Medicine King's secret techniques?
Qingque didn't understand, but she was greatly shocked by what she heard.
The original wanted poster that Fu Xuan gave to Qing Que stated that Chen Li was holding a token of abundance, suspected of being a remnant of the Abundance, and had disrupted the order of the Six Emperors' meeting, and was therefore wanted.
However, although the arrest warrant looked serious, it did not actually convict Chen Li of any specific crime, nor did it state anything about killing him without mercy.
It gives the impression that there is room for maneuver.
This crime is neither too serious nor too minor. To put it bluntly, it's committing one of the "Ten Heinous Crimes," but to put it mildly, it's just a misunderstanding.
However, the second version of the wanted poster not only doubled Chen Li's bounty, but also explicitly listed the crime of colluding with the Medicine King's secret teachings.
Of course, there was also good news: the bounty was in hand.
Qingque had to use a lot of persuasion to convince the employee of the Earth Balance Bureau not to reveal his identity and to only take the reward money.
This is done to prevent oneself from gaining credit and thus being promoted.
Qingque has been doing this for so many years.
He never sought personal credit, but instead nurtured his colleagues, promoted them, and made them his supporters.
In Qingque's view, a promotion is the most terrifying thing, because it increases the workload.
Dad: This is a long story.
Qingque: Then let's get to the point.
Dad: I was rescued from prison by the Medicine King's secret method halfway through my journey.
Qingque: Huh?
Dad: Alright, let's stop here. I'm chatting with a low-level henchman from the Medicine King's Secret Sect. Once I've dealt with him and become the leader of the Medicine King's Secret Sect, we, the two righteous and the wicked, will join forces to control the entire Luo Fu Immortal Ship and then march on the Immortal Ship Alliance! At that time, you'll be the Marshal, and I'll take the original Marshal.
Qingque: No, wait a minute...
What do you want to do to our Marshal of the Immortal Ship?
Qingque suddenly realized that the historical records' assessment of this person as a blasphemer was entirely accurate. This guy really dared to say anything.
Meanwhile, Chen Li, who was far away, opened his eyes again after finishing his conversation.
Chen Li held a bountiful ear of wheat, nearly half his height, that exuded a fragrant and healing power, while a cup of tea sat in his hand, his demeanor calm and composed.
Standing in front of Chen Li were several commoners dressed as immortals, who looked at the abundant divine objects in Chen Li's hands with a mixture of unease and longing.
"Want it?" Chen Li glanced at the crowd whose minds were wavering because of the abundant divine treasure in his arms.
These people in front of me are all secret disciples of the Medicine King, who suddenly appeared on the way to the Netherworld Prison after Chen Li was captured by the Cloud Cavalry. They possessed the form of a demonic demon.
After successfully breaking into the prison and taking Chen Li to a secluded place, these people swallowed some pills and suppressed the branches that had grown out of their bodies, restoring them to their original appearance. Chen Li also had the opportunity to see their true appearance.
"Hey kid, don't be so arrogant. We saved you. Please recognize the situation." Unable to suppress his restless desires, the first brainless villain jumped out.
Chen Li remained silent, only waving the abundant divine object in his hand.
The next moment, the body of the Medicine King's secret disciple who was pointing at Chen Li suddenly transformed into a demonic form, and the branches and leaves that had grown on his body due to his life force having nowhere to go began to wither rapidly.
These life energies transformed into golden light, which slowly condensed and then automatically fell onto the ear of wheat in Chen Li's hand.
The bountiful divine object seemed to have received some kind of great nourishment. After Chen Li harvested it again, the 49th empty grain of wheat instantly began to take shape.
The believer's body was withered, as if damp, yet he still clung to life.
"Do you really think I could be captured so easily by Lord Yunqi? My original plan was to infiltrate the Netherworld Prison, do some tricks there, and then use the opportunity of meeting the Immortal Boat General to induce his demonic form, turning him from an enemy into a friend, disrupting the Immortal Boat, and securing victory for Master Yaoshi online. But you fools have ruined my plan. Also, don't lay a hand on me." Chen Li snorted coldly, his gaze towards the Medicine King's Secret Technique becoming even more hostile.
Chen Li could feel that the abundant divine object in his hand had a special suppressive force on these Medicine King secret disciples who had awakened their demonic yin bodies but were suppressed by pills, but he did not expect it to be achieved in this form.
"My lord, please forgive me. This man has only recently joined the Medicine King's Secret Sect, and I suspect he is a traitor sent by the Immortal Ship Cloud Cavalry. I will drag him away and execute him immediately." The Medicine King's Secret Sect squad leader trembled.
"It's alright, I'm not a petty person. Let him copy the scriptures 10 times." Chen Li waved his hand.
At the same time, Chen Li scoffed at the other party's remarks.
Can newly joined believers participate in prison break activities?
Are you kidding me?
What's the difference between this and saying the other party was a temporary worker when something goes wrong?
"Thank you for your mercy, Lord."
"I have always been fair in my rewards and punishments. Although you are all stupid, I will give you this as a token of my appreciation for your prison break. You can divide it among yourselves."
Chen Li casually picked the grain of wheat and tossed it to the squad leader of the group of disciples who were disciples of the Medicine King.
Chen Li was not interested in the fruits of absorbing the lives of others.
If Chen Li wanted to attain eternity, he only needed to extract the word "eternity" and engrave it on himself; he wouldn't even need the Penglai elixir.
However, Chen Li did not feel guilty about his actions just now, specifically... Chen Li received another merit coin.
Chen Li was not surprised at all. What good people could there be in the secret teachings of the Medicine King?
Instead of wasting your own time, put pressure on others.
What if the other party is a spy from the Yunqi Army?
Didn't Chen Li spare the other party's life? At worst, he could just stuff a grain of wheat into their mouth and make up for it.
"Thank you, Divine Envoy, for bestowing this medicine." The squad leader said excitedly as he took the divine medicine that floated in front of him.
Money moves people's hearts.
It's clear that the other party is very agitated.
"Alright, you may all step back now. Now, summon out the leader of your Immortal Boat Medicine King Secret Teachings."
"grown ups……"
“I don’t want to hear any excuses from you, otherwise… how can you be sure you won’t become the new miracle drug and be taken by someone else?” Chen Li looked at the leader of the Medicine King’s Secret Teachings with amusement.
"Get it done immediately! Retreat, get out of here quickly." The leader of the Medicine King's Secret Teachings team instantly became extremely fearful.
The reason why the Medicine King's Secret Sect was able to lie dormant in the Immortal Ship for so long without being eradicated was because of single-line communication. The communication between superiors and subordinates was managed very strictly. But now, the leader of the Medicine King's Secret Sect doesn't care about so much anymore.
Seeing his companion, who had been dragged away and nearly dried into a corpse but was still alive, and the phantom of what seemed like a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood behind the divine messenger, he had long since lost the courage to resist.
"Divine Messenger... what a nostalgic title," Chen Li said with a sigh.
The last time I heard this title was half an hour ago.
The last person to call himself a divine messenger is long gone, not even ashes remain.
I wonder how long this kid can hold out.
Dad: Okay, all done. You scared them half to death. You have no idea how terrified I was.
Qingque: That's good. It's good that you're alright.
Dad: When it comes to improvisation, I'm a pro. I even once played the role of a priest and rescued a little boy who was almost kidnapped by another priest.
Qingque: What nonsense is this? What do we do now?
Dad: Wait. Anyway, I have nothing to do, so I plan to take all the wealth from the Medicine King's secret teachings and run away with it. We'll split it 30/70 then.
Qingque: Is there any left for me?
Dad: You're 0.03%, I'm 99.97%.
Qingque: Is this what they call a 30/70 split? Never mind, I never intended to take it anyway. I just hoped the Immortal Ship would be safe. I never imagined the Immortal Ship's Medicine King Secret Techniques would be so ruthless, daring to publicly break them out of prison.
Thinking about this, Qingque inexplicably felt as if she had been drawn into an endless trouble.
Following the logic of those fantasy dramas (similar to movies) in the Immortal Boat, I should cooperate with Chen Li next, taking advantage of the convenience of mutual communication, and actively cooperate with Chen Li when he is infiltrating the Medicine King's Secret Sect, gradually infiltrating, collecting evidence and intelligence, and finally wiping out the Medicine King's Secret Sect in one fell swoop.
Chen Li was exonerated and became a guest of honor on the Immortal Ship.
He was appreciated by his superiors, promoted and received a raise, and enjoyed the pinnacle of life.
Qingque: Chen Li, I just suddenly realized something. Let's not contact each other anymore. Working overtime is too tiring.
Dad: What nonsense are you talking about?
Qingque: Oh, I'm sorry, I just had a nightmare.
