Lin Xiao sighed deeply, looking conflicted.
"..."
The truth is... damn it.
How dare you call that the "truth"?
Perhaps you have some misunderstanding about the word "truth"?
A group of renowned experts were internally ranting and raving.
But everyone has realized that playing the victim to gain sympathy is completely useless against Lin Xiao.
"Alright! Holy Son, let's get straight to the point."
"Stop talking about the truth."
"In the end, you just want us to come out of seclusion, right? If you tell that brat Li Zhongxin to shut up, I'll agree to your request..."
“Starting today, we will take turns sending one person out of the mountains.”
"That's what the old Taoist priest Hunyuan said."
Lin Xiao pretended not to hear and said directly, "Since the seniors are not sincere, then I will have Li Zhongxin reveal the truth."
After all that commotion, only one person finally came out of the mountains?
A bunch of old guys, still making wishful thinking.
There were several dozen of them in total.
One person takes turns going out of the mountains for a month, while the others can still enjoy their retirement; it has no impact on them at all.
"What does the Holy Son mean?" the Earth Sword Master asked.
"What could I possibly mean? I'm just a lowly Holy Son..."
"Two people!"
The old Taoist priest interrupted Lin Xiao's nonsense and simply held up two fingers.
"Please continue your discussion, everyone. I must take my leave now. It's getting late, so let's hurry and get Li Zhongxin ready..."
Three!
"Are you squeezing toothpaste here?"
Lin Xiao found it somewhat amusing and said, "I think it's not a good thing for you renowned masters and powerful figures to stay in the holy land for quiet cultivation all this time."
"Why don't we all go out for a walk?"
The old Taoist priest Hunyuan understood; they were all to be brought out of the mountain.
"Holy Son, you're making outrageous demands!" the Northern Ice Spear Master roared.
"Really? It's getting late, so I'll have Li Zhongxin go..."
"Wait a minute!"
The old Taoist priest Hunyuan hurriedly stopped him.
The others finally understood completely.
They have no right to bargain; they are now like fish on a chopping board.
After discussing it among themselves, the group of several dozen people...
The old Taoist priest said helplessly, "Holy Son, you have won. We will all come out of the mountain. Now let Li Zhongxin explain himself!"
"Never mind."
Lin Xiao shook his head.
"What does the Holy Son mean by this?"
The master of the Northern Ice Spear frowned.
The old Taoist priest was more tactful in his dealings with people. He had already thought of something, so he took out a sacred object of heaven and earth and stuffed it into Lin Xiao's hand.
Then, with a smile, he said, "Holy Son, can you do me a favor?"
Lin Xiao put the sacred object of heaven and earth into his Qiankun Bracelet, but did not rush to agree.
"Senior, you misunderstand. Those are all my brothers, fellow disciples, and dearest friends and family!"
"How could I bear to lie to them... I have to pay more!"
Chapter 352 The Truth Revealed
What the hell are brothers, fellow disciples, and dearest friends and family?
The phrase "you'll have to pay more" almost caused the old Taoist priest and his companions to strain their backs.
The group of renowned experts finally understood that Lin Xiao not only wanted them to come out of seclusion, but also planned to extort money from them.
The old Taoist priest took a breath and asked, "Then, Holy Son, how much do you think should be added?"
"Since you are so generous, I should naturally reciprocate."
Lin Xiao thought for a moment and said, "How about this? Each of you bring out one hundred sacred plants of heaven and earth, and I will have Li Zhongxin prove your innocence."
"One hundred plants?"
Everyone almost doubted that they had heard correctly.
That is a sacred object of heaven and earth, not some roadside cabbage.
"Holy Son, is this what you call reciprocating kindness?"
The old Taoist priest Hunyuan said with a resentful expression.
"Yes! Does Senior intend to offer hundreds or even thousands of sacred treasures of heaven and earth? If you're that generous, I have no objection!"
Lin Xiao seemed not to understand the old Taoist Hunyuan's resentment.
"..."
The old Taoist priest was so angry that he blew his beard and glared.
“Holy Son, you are taking advantage of our misfortune. You don’t even have a single one of the hundred sacred treasures of heaven and earth.”
"The Ice Spear Master was furious!"
"Gun Master, if you say that, I'll sue you for defamation! Master, the Northern Ice Gun Master is defaming me! He's defaming me!"
Lin Xiao took out the blank imperial edict from Empress Liuli.
It seems I'm planning to write something...
The Ice Spear Master's eyelids twitched.
The other renowned experts were also taken aback.
They were not afraid of Bai Xuer or Ye Guoer, nor were they afraid of Ji Yunyou.
However, Empress Liuli is different.
Empress Liuli possessed unparalleled cultivation, and within the Yao Guang Holy Land, her word was law; no one dared to disobey her...
Just like when she first bestowed the title of Holy Son upon Lin Xiao.
None of the higher-ups at Yaoguang Holy Land, or these renowned figures and powerful individuals, dared to object.
"cough……"
"Your Majesty, let's talk this out. Please put the imperial edict away first."
The old Taoist priest Hunyuan quickly tried to smooth things over.
The fact that they keep producing blank imperial edicts is both a headache and a source of anxiety.
"Okay!"
Lin Xiao readily put away the imperial edict, then cupped his hands to the crowd and said, "Since you all refuse, then I will have Li Zhongxin tell the truth!"
"By the way, after getting rid of Li Zhongxin, all of your disciples want to tell the truth."
These renowned masters and powerful figures were not limited to Hunyuan Laodao in accepting disciples.
Many people have closed-door disciples.
Li Zhongxin was just a representative; the others stood below the platform, looking like they were "starving for food."
They all want to go on stage and tell the world the truth.
"No, no, no..."
"Holy Son, isn't this business deal something we need to discuss?"
"Yes, yes, let's discuss this! If there's any misunderstanding, let's just talk it out."
A group of renowned experts and powerful figures quickly pulled Lin Xiao back.
"Alright! Since you seniors wish to discuss this, I cannot refuse. How about this: two hundred sacred treasures of heaven and earth for each of you..."
"Wait a minute, wasn't it a hundred plants just now? How did it become two hundred?"
Prices have gone up!
"..."
A group of renowned experts and masters had never seen negotiations like this before.
Prices never keep rising...
"One hundred plants!"
The old Taoist priest Hunyuan took a deep breath and said, "Holy Son, we will give each of you one hundred sacred treasures of heaven and earth. Any more than that, we really can't afford to give you."
"Holy Son, don't push us to the brink..."
"Sword Master, go to hell with that, what kind of ridiculous analogy is that?"
"Ahem... I misspoke, I misspoke."
The Earth Sword Master looked embarrassed.
"Alright! Then one hundred plants each."
