The only downside was that there wasn’t much chili in the rice noodle roll, it wasn’t spicy, and it lacked punch.

“Hiss, it’s slightly spicy,” Jiang Cheng commented on his rice noodle roll.

“Trash,” Qian Feng didn’t miss the opportunity to mock Jiang Cheng.

Jiang Cheng, unbothered, said, “Could it be that Fellow Daoist Qian is quite an expert in eating spicy food?”

Qian Feng sneered, “Average, but far better than you, trash!”

“You!”

Yue Linger wanted to hit someone but was held back by Shen Menghan.

“Senior Sister!”

“Calm down,” she urged.

“Why should we be polite to him!”

Shen Menghan glanced at Jiang Cheng and said, “Be good, Ling’er, don’t cause trouble for Jiang Cheng.”

Yue Linger: ???

Wait, what’s with this stepmother speech?

I’m obviously the big sister here!

However, Shen Menghan’s interjection took much of the wind out of Yue Linger’s sails.

Knowing Jiang Cheng as she did, he never expended effort in vain; inviting Qian Feng for a meal definitely had a purpose.

Jiang Cheng said to Qian Feng, “We don’t have chili here, but I do have another way to make it spicier. Would you like to try?”

Qian Feng didn’t respond.

He felt Jiang Cheng was up to no good.

Jiang Cheng spread his hands and said, “Oh, it appears you were just boasting. I thought you really dared to eat spicy.”

“What’s there to fear about chilies? You’re underestimating me,” Qian Feng retorted.

Jiang Cheng took out a Perception Transmission Talisman and said, “Want to try?”

Qian Feng squinted his eyes and thought: Triple the spiciness, merely that.

“Bring it on! Do you think you can scare me?”

Jiang Cheng applied a talisman to Qian Feng.

Qian Feng grabbed a piece of rice noodle roll and took a big bite!

Then, he regretted it.

It felt like his mouth was not filled with rice noodles but a bomb!

“Ergah!”

Qian Feng spat out the rice noodle roll in his mouth, fell to the ground gasping for breath, feeling even the air he inhaled was slicing his mouth like blades!

Jiang Cheng frowned, “Fellow Daoist Qian, why waste food? Someone, please feed Fellow Daoist Qian the noodles!”

Wu and Xia finally found their opportunity to act, each grabbing one of Qian Feng’s arms, poured the remaining noodles into his mouth, then plugged it up.

Shrieks that could deafen emanated from the Talisman Master Association’s storage room!

The scene was too cruel to behold.

Five minutes later, the effect of the talisman wore off.

Qian Feng collapsed, convulsing all over, drooling uncontrollably, like a soulless lump of white flesh.

Wu and Xia looked at the white-eyed Qian Feng and were deeply shaken.

What kind of methods was Jiang Cheng using?

Even the Sect Master of a Demon Sect wouldn’t be this cruel, would they?

Scary!

As dawn approached, Qian Feng finally recovered to some extent, incessantly accusing Jiang Cheng of mistreating him!

Jiang Cheng justified with compelling arguments, “You wanted to eat spicy food yourself, how does my urging you not to waste food qualify as mistreatment?”

“Despicable and shameless!”

Jiang Cheng replied calmly, “I’ll take that as a compliment. Regarding the work ahead, I hope Fellow Daoist Qian will continue to cooperate.”

Qian Feng shouted, “Go to hell, I would rather die than betray the Holy Sect!”

“Fellow Daoist Qian, you seem a bit tense; how about we go take a bath to relax. Senior Wu, since you’re at the later stage of Foundation Establishment, you’re quite strong. When the time comes, I’ll trouble you to scrub Qian Daoist’s back. If you get tired, Xia Daoist can take over.”

Remembering the Perception Transmission Talisman in Jiang Cheng’s possession and the rice noodle roll that could numb a person with spiciness, Qian Feng trembled.

If the noodles were like that, wouldn’t getting his back scrubbed be akin to traversing a mountain of knives or a sea of flames?

“Don’t touch me, I’m warning you, you’re a member of an Immortal Sect; you can’t mistreat a captive like this!”

Jiang Cheng’s smile emerged, “Fellow Daoist Qian, how could bathing be associated with mistreatment? Let’s relax a bit, maybe then you’ll start recalling things about Hehuan Sect.”

Twenty minutes later, blood-curdling screams came from the bathhouse!

“Fellow Daoist Qian, how relaxed do you feel?” Jiang Cheng patted Qian Feng’s face and asked.

Wu Renshan, looking at the contorted Qian Feng on the ground, said uneasily, “I don’t think he can hear what you’re saying right now, Jiang Cheng.”

“Can’t hear? That’s an easy fix.”

Jiang Cheng took out another Perception Transmission Talisman, used it on Qian Feng, setting the hearing transmission to maximum!

“Hello? Fellow Daoist Qian, can you hear me?”

Watching on, Wu Renshan and Xia Changfu saw Qian Feng’s eyes roll back and then there was no more movement from him.

Both of them swallowed nervously, their respect for Jiang Cheng growing by the moment.

Way too ruthless.

In the future, they could provoke anyone but must never provoke Jiang Cheng.

It seemed that compared to Jiang Cheng, the Demon Sect was practically agreeable.

…

That afternoon, Jiang Cheng, holding a report with detailed information on Hehuan Sect, clapped Qian Feng’s shoulder and said, “Fellow Daoist Qian, welcome to the light.”

“However, for the great plan of our righteous path to eliminate demons, could you please continue to go back to the Hehuan Sect and be an undercover for a few more days? No problem, right?”

Qian Feng nodded repeatedly, “No problem, no problem at all.”

“Good, here are a few Perception Transmission Talismans, as your gains from this trip. With these, dealing with Hehuan Sect’s scrutiny shouldn’t be a problem, right?”

Qian Feng nodded repeatedly, “No problem, no problem.”

Jiang Cheng saw how cooperative Qian Feng was and couldn’t help but nod in approval.

If Qian Feng performed well, he was even willing to personally write a letter to help reduce his sentence, allowing Qian Feng to spend a couple of years less in the Tongtian Sect dungeon.

After sending Qian Feng away, Jiang Cheng held the intelligence in his hand and fell into deep thought.

According to Qian Feng’s confession, the scale of the Hehuan Sect in Capital was not small, with at least one Core Formation Stage cultivator and at least ten at the Foundation Establishment Stage, not to mention countless Qi Cultivation Stage disciples.

And this was merely the conservative estimate of the Hehuan Sect’s power that Qian Feng was aware of.

Furthermore, according to Qian Feng, the Hehuan Sect had deep ties with the imperial family of Great Liang.

However, just how deep those ties were, Qian Feng didn’t know, after all, he was just a Qi Cultivation Stage disciple.

It seemed that the complexity of the Hehuan Sect in Capital far exceeded Jiang Cheng’s initial assumptions.

If he were to rashly take action against the Hehuan Sect, not only would it be impossible to eliminate them completely, but it might also very likely alert the sect, causing the remnants of Hehuan to become wary.

This matter couldn’t be rushed, and he had to strategize for the long term.

On the way back to Lotus University, Shen Menghan and Yue Linger walked one on each side of Jiang Cheng.

“Jiang Cheng,” called Shen Menghan.

“Hmm?”

“The Hehuan Sect disciples have been captured, and the intelligence has been extracted. Are you going to continue selling your Perception Transmission Talismans?”

Jiang Cheng was startled.

Shen Menghan continued, “The Perception Transmission Talismans are selling quite well. I’ve heard from the staff that some customers are even willing to pay up to four thousand Spirit Stones for one.”

“Four thousand?” Yue Linger exclaimed.

“Four thousand. Oh, and there’s one more thing. Do you know about the Secret Pill Pavilion? They previously took over a lot of assets from the Miaodan Workshop, so they are now very short on cash. Later, because their boss bribed Prince Liang Chu, he was fined 500 million by the court and is currently selling shops to raise money. If we are going to do the Beauty Pill business in the future, the Secret Pill Pavilion has a lot of certified pills. Perhaps we could take this opportunity to buy from them…”

Shen Menghan shared some recent developments from the Miaodan Workshop with Jiang Cheng.

But Jiang Cheng’s attention was actually on the Perception Transmission Talisman.

The Perception Transmission Talisman was a talisman specifically designed by Jiang Cheng for the Hehuan Sect, and with this talisman, the Hehuan Sect’s cultivation technique would be significantly enhanced.

Putting himself in the position of the Hehuan Sect, Jiang Cheng thought that once the Hehuan Sect realized the power of the Perception Transmission Talisman, they would surely do everything possible to obtain it.

If that was the case…

“Senpai, if we’re going to buy the certified pills from the Secret Pill Pavilion, it’s going to cost a lot of money, right?” Yue Linger asked.

Shen Menghan nodded, “We’ll need tens of millions of Spirit Stones.”

Yue Linger smacked her lips. Half of the money they had earned from selling the Willpower Empowerment Talisman had been paid as a fine to the court.

The rest of the money might barely be enough for a single transaction of pills with the Secret Pill Pavilion.

“Among the shops being sold by the Secret Pill Pavilion this time, there are a few with very good locations. If possible, we should try our best to compete for them.”

“But we don’t have that much money.”

Shen Menghan stole a glance at Jiang Cheng.

Yue Linger said helplessly, “He doesn’t have it either.”

“How do you know?”

Yue Linger huffed, then naturally took Jiang Cheng’s arm.

“Don’t you see who I am?”

Shen Menghan hesitated for a moment, but eventually decided to take Jiang Cheng’s other arm.

Jiang Cheng: ?

“What are you doing?” Jiang Cheng, who had been distracted, said with a confused expression.

“Senpai is asking you for money.”

“No, wasn’t.”

Jiang Cheng looked at Shen Menghan and asked, “How much do you want?”

Shen Menghan pursed her lips, “Twenty million, can you do that?”

Jiang Cheng nodded, “I’ll think of something.”

Shen Menghan looked at Jiang Cheng’s profile, her eyes reddening as she felt she had made an excessive request. Even though Jiang Cheng clearly didn’t have that much money, he still agreed to her request.

Yue Linger, seeing Shen Menghan’s expression, knew that someone was probably ready to devote herself wholeheartedly.

Once someone got involved with Jiang Cheng, they would only sink deeper into his vortex.

“Jiang Cheng, I want twenty million too,” Yue Linger said.

“Hmm,” Jiang Cheng nodded.

Seeing this, Yue Linger asked, “Do you have a plan?”

“I’m planning to sell the rights to the Perception Transmission Talisman,” Jiang Cheng said.

“Ah? Then I don’t want it!”

“I, I don’t want it either.”

Jiang Cheng shook his head, “It doesn’t matter, I was indeed planning to sell.”

Yue Linger was puzzled, “Why? Aren’t we selling it well?”

“Although the Miaodan Workshop isn’t part of the Immortal Sect, it’s still a legitimate shop. For the Hehuan Sect, the risk is still too great.”

“What do you mean?”

Both Yue Linger and Shen Menghan didn’t understand what Jiang Cheng was saying.

“Having the Miaodan Workshop sell the Perception Transmission Talisman isn’t conducive to the Hehuan Sect’s aims. I’m planning to sell the talisman to a shop with Demon Sect backing.”

Yue Linger’s pupils shrank in shock, “You’re planning to let the Demon Sect bite each other?!”

Jiang Cheng nodded, “I’ve been thinking about how to wipe out the Hehuan Sect completely. Later I realized that thinking from the perspective of the Immortal Sect would never allow me to fully solve the problem with Hehuan. Therefore, it’s better to consider it from the perspective of the Demonic Tao, letting them eliminate themselves.”

“I will sell the talismans to a shop with a Demon Sect background and, according to the contract, have them adopt a high pricing strategy. The Hehuan Sect will have to pay a steep price to get the talismans. One side will bleed heavily, the other will make a fortune, surely sparking a conflict between them and Hehuan. Both sides belong to the Demonic Tao, neither protected by law nor bound by rules. In the end, it comes down to who has the bigger fist. To ensure that Hehuan definitely takes action, I must choose a Demon Sect that is weaker than Hehuan, but not by too much…”

Yue Linger listened with a tingling scalp.

Wow, one talisman takes out two demons.

It was initially a simple netting, but now there are too many fish for the net, so you’re planning to kill some off before netting the rest, is that it?

What kind of karma did the Hehuan Sect accrue to be targeted by Jiang Cheng?

Better to surrender quickly.

That’s the smallest loss.
