Chapter 3, Toxic Name, Shut Up

They will all become your subordinates tomorrow," Jin Yue corrected with a serious expression, "What poison? How come I've never heard you mention it?"

On a platform made of gold bars, approximately half a person's height, there rests a beautiful and precious pot of white flowering crabapple. The petals are made of white jade, with golden threads as the stamens, totaling about ten blossoms. The leaves are carved from jade, and the branches are from a rare red coral tree. The pot itself is made of agate, filled with numerous pearls and jade fragments as soil

Although this girl is beautiful, she is not a rare beauty worth spending a fortune on. Is this person a fool? Everyone's eyes are about to pop out, and the girls upstairs are whispering among themselves. The madam's mouth is agape, unable to believe her ears. This girl was bought for only fifty taels, and he wants to pay one thousand taels?

Jin Yue appeared indifferent: "According to the teachings and regulations of the Thousand-Hand Sect throughout the ages, tonight I will transfer half of my internal energy to you, and tomorrow I will pass on the position of the sect leader to you"

Jin Yuezheng said: "The third rule of the Thousand Hands Sect is not to harm the common people, for they are not martial artists. Why should we poison and silence them?"

This lightness skill, tsk tsk, is just a bit lacking in internal strength. Jin Yue, feeling pleased, raised both hands simultaneously, and the hidden weapons fell like rain

At the slightest provocation, slapping my face, over the course of five years, you have tested my patience eighty-three times. You seem to be enjoying yourself, while I am nearly at my wit's end! In my heart, I silently curse, but I maintain a smile on my face: "Although I am busy, I would never forget you, my esteemed master. In the future, just send someone to inform me if there is anything you need."

"One thousand taels, is it enough to buy this person?"

Contrary to expectations, there was no chaos; Jin handled the situation in a very low-key manner and promptly allowed Jin Yue to see the results. In front of him, the four great guardians stood in a row with their heads bowed, their faces swollen, yet their demeanor was very respectful, still carrying a hint of fear.

Jin Yueyang flicked a pill into his mouth, frowning: "You are about to become the leader, and they are all your subordinates. Now that you have beaten them like this, are you not afraid of being recognized when you meet them tomorrow?"

Jin Yue glared: "Less nonsense!"

Jin Yue finally stopped: "Not bad!"

They wouldn't dare to move," Jin smiled as he approached the window, saying, "Because I have disguised myself as your esteemed self, they are all very obedient.

Jin Yue nodded: "In one hour, let me see some results, and then I will come for the antidote"

Upon hearing this, the person on the ground cried even harder, embracing the young woman without letting go

Upon hearing these words, Jin felt somewhat moved and lowered his head, saying, "The disciple understands"

Jin Yuexiao emphasized: "Remember, show me some results so that I can see them."

Jin Yue added a sentence: "No use of poison"

Not enough?" He casually pulled out another stack, raised an eyebrow, "Add another 1,000; if that doesn't work, then forget it.

That feeling of being moved was immediately pushed back, and Jin angrily exclaimed, "Why the hell are you hitting me again!"

Jin Yue seemed to understand something: "How do you handle things?"

The man in black, feeling impatient, said: "After all this commotion for half a day, I have lost my mood as well. Haven't I already redeemed her for you? Hurry up and take her away, why are you crying!"

Jin Yue did not hesitate to slap him across the face again

Watching a crowd of people fighting over money, gold is becoming increasingly boring, damn it, why should I care about others

The reaction was much faster than last time, Jin Yue was satisfied, "Since you know this is the 'Soul Pursuit Powder', you should understand that this antidote is only possessed by me in the entire sect."

After all, those who can afford to buy are wealthy families, and what they buy will just be left unused. It would be better for the master to come and take it back in a few days and sell it again

In fact, besides this precious white begonia, there are countless rare treasures surrounding it, each with considerable value, and many of which cannot even be named. There are six exquisite coral trees haphazardly placed in the corner of the room. Additionally, the floor is laid with golden bricks, and numerous luminous pearls are scattered about, emitting a soft glow that illuminates the entire room as bright as day. Even the chair he is sitting on is gilded and inlaid with Western gemstones, making the whole room filled with golden jewels, radiating brilliance.

"It's that brat again!" The madam placed her hands on her hips and said, "Once you enter this door, you are all my daughters. There are no sisters here, get out, get out!"

Jin leaned back against the chair, his feet resting on the table, the wide black robe draping down to the floor, spread out, making him look just like a large bat

Jin Yue questioned in surprise: "They didn't harm you?"

Jin Yue slapped him across the face and scolded, "You little brat, you are the future leader of the illustrious Thousand-Hand Sect. What do a few trivial items amount to? Acting like such a fool!"

Tomorrow, he will become the great and mysterious new leader of the Thousand-Hand Sect, the King of Thieves

Jin Yue smiled even more sinisterly: "Come here."

Thus, on this night, he had his first woman, bestowing all his silver upon her and her sisters. If this money were not spent quickly, he would find himself in misfortune the following day

Jin instinctively leaped up, followed by a continuous whistling sound, as countless silver needles struck the opposite wall, each glimmering with a ghastly green light, clearly infused with deadly poison

Without further ado, he strode towards the door: "I am going to the ancient house, I will transmit my internal energy to you."

He said word by word: "Remember, this room must never be filled."

The crisp sound of the jade ruyi striking the wall, shattering.

Jin Yue hesitated: "It seems that they are all quite afraid of you"

"Ask about tomorrow's morning." Jin cautiously replied, taking two steps back, uncertain if this old fellow had invented some new poison, so I kept my distance from you

Jin was startled and fell from the air, but did not land on the ground. Just a foot above the ground, he pushed himself with his hands, and his entire body was almost贴在地上, parallel to the ground, swiftly gliding away like a fish.

Jin Yue snorted and said: "But today you are still not the leader. Having violated the teachings, you should be dealt with accordingly"

The gold still smiles wickedly: "Shut up."

Then I will add one more tomorrow, and it will not be a violation

Jin Yue looked at him for a while and nodded: "In these past few years, I have indeed pushed you quite hard, but the position of the sect leader is of great importance, as it concerns the future fortunes of the entire Thousand Hands Sect. I have only you as my disciple, and I hope you can understand my earnest intentions"

In a great mood

Jin, step aside: "I didn't tell you to shut up, I said that poison is called 'shut up'."

At a critical moment, the madam finally came to her senses, realizing she had encountered a wealthy patron. She smiled so broadly that her face nearly split, quickly took the banknotes and tucked them away, then immediately signaled for those people to release the weeping young woman. After praising their good judgment, she asked, "Are you taking her away now, young master?"

Without waiting for a rebuttal, he darkly said: "If there are still one or two left, just wait to die in pain tomorrow"

The madam, accustomed to the ways of this trade, knew who was not to be trifled with. Upon seeing the exquisite fabric and the gold-inlaid jade belt, she immediately put on a smile and said, "I was merely scolding this ignorant and arrogant poor young man."

What! You wouldn't be so ruthless, would you!

"It is rare to find a good disciple who understands," Jin Yue turned and left, "Spending money is not easy, and I still have to teach you? Enjoying the best food and drink, finding women, and even doing your good deeds, you can spend lavishly, feel free to give it a try."

This type of assessment method is indeed too common. At first, Jin Hailai would get angry, then he would start to curse, and eventually, he would just glare. Although he has become accustomed to it now, every time he is assessed, Jin Hailai still feels very angry. He turns back, his eyes still filled with rage

It doesn't matter if gold comes or not: "From now on? From now on, I will be the leader, and you will have to live a leisurely life. This face will not be shown many times."

What Jin is concerned about is not this: "In the future, there will definitely be many matters in the school. Do I no longer need to follow you?"

Jin thought for a moment and said frankly: "It's very simple, I had someone call them all over, then I slapped them a few times, and finally let them go."

Next, two slaps will be given.

After this commotion, someone immediately went up to intervene

With my limited internal strength, how can I withstand the four of them! It is originally nothing to beat someone on the orders of the sect leader, but the problem is that the four great protectors are all top-notch experts, and they do not know Jin Hailai at all, nor are they aware of his future identity as the sect leader. How could they possibly allow someone to be beaten for no reason?

However, he soon lost interest and sighed: "Gold and silver are still the most reliable."

The poor young man? The man in black walked past the madam, sneered maliciously, and then strode out the door.

I really want to make you taste Old Jin's poison, while Jin maliciously thought to himself as he walked out.

He admired his spoils, his expression relaxed and joyful: "A masterpiece of ingenuity, a masterpiece of ingenuity!"

Shut up for a year, Mr. Jin said to you

The speaker is a young man dressed in black, wearing an extremely oversized black cloak. He has high arched eyebrows, a straight nose, and eyes that shine like stars. His handsome face is adorned with a smile that carries a hint of mischief.

The gold is still here, but I'm just dazed: "But with so much, how can I spend it?"

Jin Yue jumped up in anger: "I should have known you were playing tricks, damn it! Your disguise skills are not that great; no one recognizes me when I pretend to be an old man!"

Here, there is an endless supply of money, countless treasures, and almost every month, new items are added to the room, each worth more than a thousand gold pieces, with some even being priceless

"People are bought with money, you get what you pay for. If you have money..." The madam scolded while waving her hand, "Where are the people? They are delaying business, hurry up and drive this poor boy out!"

Gold, silver, jade, agate, Western gemstones, and so forth, are all dazzling and resplendent, nearly filling the room to capacity

He clapped his hands and stood up: "The old man is wealthy, the old man loves to spend lavishly, so what?"

Jin Yue was shocked; they do not hit faces when fighting. These four guardians possess first-rate martial arts skills, yet their faces have been beaten to such a state, and they still comply obediently. No matter how skilled that young man is, his internal strength is still shallow. Could it be that these four individuals are actually afraid of him?

"Who is the poor boy?" a cold voice asked

He rolled his eyes

There is no need to investigate further, "Jin remained unfazed, saying, 'Your few fools under your command are indeed quick to investigate; that poison was made by me.'"

The poor boy? He sneered: "How much is she worth?"

The madam was taken aback, misunderstanding his meaning: "Miss Xi has already been booked by a gentleman for tonight, it's the first time this has happened. Would you consider changing to another..."

In a place filled with the vibrant lights of red lanterns and the sounds of singing orioles and swallows, permeated by a rich scent of cosmetics, this is a well-known den of vice in the city. Along the railing on the upper floor stand rows of young and charming women, while below, guests come and go in a somewhat chaotic manner. Among them are not only ordinary young rakes but also individuals from all walks of life. Each is accompanied by more than one girl, engaging in gambling, jesting, or embracing as they head towards the rooms upstairs

The poor boy? He let out a cold laugh, casually tossing a night pearl the size of a pigeon egg, which crashed against the wall with a loud bang.

He was dazzled and lost in thought

Jin Yue angrily said: "As the esteemed leader, how can I strike my subordinates without reason? Where am I to put this face of mine in the future!"

As the young ladies, dressed in their finery, gradually made their way out, the madam smiled broadly, her face beaming with joy. These were all prominent figures who disliked such occasions, which is why they specifically sent someone to pick them up, paying a fee that was twice the usual amount

One hundred bars of gold, each weighing a full ten taels, soon transformed into a thick stack of banknotes

Jin Yue raised his hand

Before she could finish speaking, a stack of banknotes was thrown onto her face

Jin Yue was furious and raised his hand to strike again: "Impudent!"

Jin Huanlai angrily said: "You are becoming more and more venomous!"

Jin was stunned for two seconds, as if he understood something, and immediately lowered his head to check his body, exclaiming: "You actually gave me the 'Soul-Chasing Powder'!"

They are very afraid of you; after being slapped a few times, they do not even dare to let out a fart. How could they possibly look up and examine closely? That is why they did not discover the deception. You only said not to use poison, but you did not say anything about disguising oneself.

Apart from the short duration and insufficient internal strength, he has almost mastered all the skills, especially in lightness skill, hidden weapons, and poison use. Although these were primarily developed through the experiences with Jin Yue, he can still be considered to have reached a remarkable level, successfully completing tasks time and again.

Jin still retreated: "I won't go, I won't go!"

Jin Yuandao: "What I have developed is the latest, and it only takes one hour. Of course, you can also give it a try to see if you can concoct the antidote within one hour."

Jin Yue laughed heartily and patted him on the shoulder: "Only people complain about having too little money; who complains about having too much? Money is yours, and once you have it, you must learn to use it. Take one hundred bars of gold to exchange for silver, and spend them all tonight."

"Old fellow, wanting to take it easy and be a retired emperor," he murmured these two lines, and suddenly jumped up from his chair, turned around, and respectfully bowed, "Good morning, Master!"

Everyone turned to look

The first silver note was intended for a great act of kindness. Although Jin had always scoffed at such matters, he still tossed it to a beggar. However, it wasn't long before six beggars rushed over to fight, resulting in the silver note being torn into several pieces. Consequently, he counted the number of people and threw down a few more notes, yet the beggars did not cooperate and refused to divide according to the numbers, leading to a bloody brawl.

Five years, five years

The young lady immediately burst into tears: "Second brother, save me, I want to go out!"

He casually gave a few instructions and sent the four guardians away

Jin Yue sneered: "Have you perhaps forgotten that when you were on the verge of starvation, the purpose of money is to be spent, not just to be displayed for aesthetics? When Master Jin Sihai founded the Thousand Hands Sect, it was precisely for this reason. Our Thousand Hands Sect takes the wealth of the world for our own use, manipulating the treasures of the world at our fingertips, not for you to become a miser for them"

He leaned against the staircase railing at an angle and asked with a smile, "Who is being called a poor boy?"

Jin Yue choked and said: "You little rascal!"

Jin suddenly woke up in anger: "What poison have you given me again!"

The madam was both startled and delighted, completely unaware of the misfortune that was about to befall her. The next day, she could no longer utter a single word of reproach, and this situation persisted for a full year

Jin Yue thought for a moment: "The four of them have never seen you, and it was not intentional to investigate you. I didn't expect that it would offend you instead. Well, I happen to find them displeasing. You can go and give them a good beating on my behalf, and consider it a way to atone for your offense."

Jin Yue seemed to smile yet not smile: "Speaking of which, I find it somewhat hard to part with you; it would be fine if you stayed by my side."

The master instructed, and with no other choice, Jin cautiously stepped forward, his bright, shining eyes fixed intently on the master's hand: "What is your command, Master?"

Jin Yue was taken aback, then burst into laughter: "Shut up?"

You! He glared, and then finally came to his senses, his face filled with anticipation, "I want to fill it up."

Can the sect leader change the teachings of the sect

Jewelry flows endlessly, yet the room will never be full

Jin Yue nodded

Jin has not spoken yet

Everyone is about to faint; it turns out that he spent so much money to redeem someone else

They are afraid of you

Suddenly, a raggedly dressed young man rushed out from somewhere, grabbing one of the girls and refusing to let go: "Ximei!"

Still unaware that this old fellow had used dozens of materials, after an hour? Jin couldn't help but silently lament: "Forget it, I might as well go and beat them up."

Jin Yue stood behind the chair, smiling ominously: "Indeed, it is quite early; it has just turned dark."

Jin jumped out from inside and reached out: "Antidote."

Everyone is foolish

Two years ago, Jin Yue brought him into this room: "This is everything you have earned from your tasks over the past three years. I have placed them all in this room, and now you may take them."

Jin nodded and said: "Whoever I find displeasing, I will silence them with poison."

Jin still swallowed the pill: "I am not afraid."

The person knelt down, crawled on their knees to the front, and kept bowing their head: "Please, let her go, I beg you..."

This thing is purely a pastime for the wealthy who have nothing better to do after eating their fill. Aside from being visually appealing, it cannot be eaten or used, and if left unused, it will simply decay. It would be better for Mr. Jin to do a good deed and enjoy it on your behalf. Hmm, let me calculate; it could sell for over 100,000 taels.

Hello, poison. This phrase has been used too often and has become meaningless. Therefore, Jin continued to perform the bat flip while shouting: "Hey, hey, don't damage the wall, don't ruin my treasure!"

Jin Yue coldly said: "Today, the four great protectors reported that over the past year, about ten citizens in the city have inexplicably become mute. Upon investigation, it seems to be due to poisoning. This poison reportedly resolves itself after a year, but the Thousand-Hand Sect does not appear to have such a poison, so I have been instructed to investigate further"

He covered his face and jumped away: "What are you doing!"

Jin Huanlai smiled: "I told you, old man, do not plot against me."

Being pursued by four top masters, what Jin Yue wanted was exactly this effect, and he laughed happily: "What you mean is, not going?"
