With the Immovable Netherworld King Spell in hand, holding the heavy brocade box, Shen Qiang couldn't help but gently open a crack, and then he was pleasantly surprised to see inside a piece of jade, shining like a jade mirror, emitting a solemn aura.
"What a treasure!"
Activating the Observation Skill, confirming that this piece of jade indeed recorded the Immovable Ming King Mantra.
Shen Qiang stood up with a smile and said, "Very well, the deal is done. Doushi Temple can rest assured, as long as Heshenghe exists, you will never lack the Dahe Luojianan Fragrance."
Having said that, he put away the Immovable Ming King Mantra and said to Qian Shanxue and Ali beside him, "Let's go to Dinghao at Datong River. I'll treat you to something good."
Hearing this, a hint of joy flashed in Qian Shanxue's eyes, and she said, "Alright."
Ali also nodded immediately.
Then, holding Ye Xiaolei's hand, Shen Qiang turned and walked towards the car. After getting in, Ji Wei drove, the Sleeping Fire Lotus Demon sat in the front passenger seat, and Shen Qiang, holding Ye Xiaolei, sat in the back.
After Shen Qiang and the others had gone some distance, the Dragon Group members also began to leave.
Looking at the middle-aged man holding a box, one of his subordinates said solemnly, "Director, that Shen Qiang is both righteous and evil, very ruthless. Why engage with him? It's said one should not fear gentlemen but fear villains. If you confront him today, he may retaliate against you."
Inspector Song smiled, "He is both righteous and evil, ruthless, but if I have a conflict with him in front of so many people, he won't dare touch me. Don't forget, I'm a Colonel."
After his subordinate sighed, he said, "Shen Qiang got the Immovable Ming King Mantra and is busy celebrating, so he didn't turn against you. But please, be careful."
Hearing this, Inspector Song laughed loudly, "Hahaha, that Shen guy wouldn't dare touch me because if anything happened to me, everyone would know it was him."
His voice was loud, and many members of the Dragon Group present heard it.
But no one commented.
After all, even though Shen Qiang clearly helped him, Inspector Song ungratefully turned against him and mocked him previously, and now, hearing him boast, everyone looked on with cold disdain, not taking it to heart.
At this moment in the car, the soft and fragrant Ye Xiaolei leaned against Shen Qiang and cooed, "Shen Qiang, isn't everyone at Heshenghe a demon? Why do you need the Immovable Ming King Mantra? And also exchange it for such precious Dahe Luojianan Fragrance, promising them fifteen sticks monthly—this deal seems like a loss."
Upon hearing this, the Sleeping Fire Lotus Demon Ke Bizhu, sitting in the front passenger seat, turned back, glanced charmingly at Shen Qiang, and then chuckled, "The boss would never make a losing deal. What you see is the boss giving fifteen sticks of incense to Doushi Temple every month for free."
"But in reality, the fact is that these fifteen sticks a month will make Doushi Temple reliant on Heshenghe, because the boss's condition is very clever, as long as Heshenghe exists, Doushi Temple can get incense."
"But what happens if Heshenghe disappears?" The alluring Ke Bizhu smilingly gazed at Ye Xiaolei, who was nestled against Shen Qiang.
Ye Xiaolei froze, and then suddenly sat up, her beautiful eyes wide with shock, and exclaimed, "You mean Doushi Temple would support Heshenghe for the fifteen sticks of incense every month!"
The charming Sleeping Fire Lotus Demon Ke Bizhu winked at Shen Qiang and then said to Ye Xiaolei, "Smart. So, what you see is the boss taking the Immovable Netherworld King Spell from Doushi Temple. But in reality, if there is no blame on Heshenghe's part, the Monks from Doushi Temple will surely help Heshenghe for the Dahe Luojianan Fragrance."
"That is to say, from the moment they accepted the boss's proposal, whether they realize it or not, they have already established a kind of employment-like interest relationship with Heshenghe. Anyone who goes to disrupt Heshenghe is equivalent to destroying Doushi Temple's incense."
"They would go crazy!" Ye Xiaolei's eyes sparkled with joy as she said.
The alluring Sleeping Fire Lotus Demon looked at Shen Qiang charmingly and said to Ye Xiaolei, "But the precondition is that the boss's Dahe Luojianan Fragrance remains unique and cannot be replicated or surpassed. Otherwise, all of this won't hold."
Hearing this, Ye Xiaolei, filled with confidence, excitedly said, "Shen Qiang is so amazing, how could he be surpassed by others? Even if surpassed, it could only be by Shen Qiang himself."
Looking at the radiant smile of Ye Xiaolei, Shen Qiang couldn't help but gently hug her, then smilingly said to the Sleeping Fire Lotus Demon, "I didn't expect you to see through my intention, but that's not all."
This statement surprised the Sleeping Fire Lotus Demon Ke Bizhu.
Seeing her eyes full of curiosity, Shen Qiang smiled and said, "I actually want to find a demon who can practice the Immovable Ming King Mantra. At that time, our Heshenghe demons, with the most orthodox Buddhist practice at hand, how impressive would that be?"
"Cultivators would be scared to death!" The Sleeping Fire Lotus Demon's eyes flashed with excitement as she said.
At this point, Ji Wei, who was calmly driving, said, "The boss can study it first. If the boss isn't very interested, he can give the Immovable Ming King Mantra to Ke Bizhu because the lotus is one of the Buddhist Seven Treasures, so little Ke should be able to practice it."
Hearing this, the Sleeping Fire Lotus Demon was stunned, but Shen Qiang's eyes brightened, and he said, "No problem, after I fiddle with it a bit back home, I'll give it to you."
The Sleeping Fire Lotus Demon was pleasantly surprised and said, "Thank you, boss."
Shen Qiang smiled, "No need to thank me, what really matters to me is resolving the hidden threat of Doushi Temple. The Immovable Ming King Mantra is just an additional gain."
The Sleeping Fire Lotus Demon giggled.
By this time, their car was already in the city, near Dinghao.
Just when they were waiting for the red light, Shen Qiang's phone rang. Seeing that the call was from Xu Nan of Wanxin Hesheng, he immediately answered.
"Shen Qiang, I heard you got the Immovable Ming King Mantra from Doushi Temple? Is it true?"
Xu Nan's tone was slightly anxious, without pleasantries or beating around the bush.
Though Shen Qiang was surprised at how quickly news reached her, he still smiled and said, "Yes, just got it. If you have any instructions, please go ahead."
Upon hearing Shen Qiang's confirmation, Xu Nan exclaimed, "Shen Qiang, you're into cultivation, the Immovable Ming King Mantra is useless to you. Your Heshenghe demons also can't use it. Sell it, alright? Someone is now offering a billion, entrusting me to purchase the Immovable Netherworld King Spell!"
Shen Qiang was taken aback upon hearing this.
A billion?
This is no small sum. It should be noted that when Shen Qiang purchased the Daluo Heavenly Tribulation Heart Sutra, it only cost more than a hundred million. Now, with the Immovable Netherworld King Spell just in hand, someone is offering a billion and entrusting Xu Nan to buy it, indicating that this item's value could be far beyond this amount.
Moreover, seeing the tense look in the eyes of Ke Bizhu, the Sleeping Fire Lotus Demon.
Shen Qiang couldn't help but smile slightly and said, "Sorry, I'm keeping it to intimidate other demons, not for sale."
