Chapter 171 – With Generosity comes with Ties of Friendship (1/2)
Li Qingshan raised his head. “Alright, I’ll do it!”
He could kill the Zombie Daoist together with Xiao An. However, even back when he killed the fifth layer Qi Practitioner, Qian Yannian, it had been passed off as purely a coincidence. As such, if he killed a sixth layer Qi Practitioner now, anyone would know that he had a hidden trump card. Who knows how much attention he would attract, and this happened to be a secret that he could not afford for anyone to probe into.
And, he was not fixated on the items within the Zombie Daoist’s hundred treasures pouch. The bounty that the Hawkwolf Guard had placed on the Zombie Daoist’s head amounted to over ten thousand points of contribution. Five points could exchange for a Qi Gathering pill so that was over two thousand Qi Gathering pills. Now that was the largest share. If he worked with these mohist disciples, he would be able to earn these points of contribution reasonably, without raising any suspicion.
Zhang Lanqing and the others were surprised and overjoyed by this. Hao Pingyang grinned as well.
However, Li Qingshan followed up with, “However, I’m not too satisfied with how everything is going to be split up.”
Zhang Lanqing and the other looked at one another, while Hao Pingyang frowned as well. He was still dissatisfied after claiming a seventy percent share; wasn’t that a little too greedy? What made everything worse was that if Li Qingshan wanted more, he could not afford to turn him down.
Li Qingshan smiled. “I’ll just take thirty percent, the same as you, senior brother Hao, as I’m confident that I’ll be about as useful as you when it comes to protecting everyone. As for the remaining forty percent, you should split it among yourselves!”
Everyone was taken aback by that. They had never thought that Li Qingshan would turn down these benefits in such a willing manner. Forty percent of the wealth of a sixth layer Qi Practitioner could interest all Qi Practitioners. None of them would give up on it so easily.
Zhang Lanqing felt rather ashamed over how poorly he had behaved earlier. “Qingshan, t- that wouldn’t be right of us!”
“There’s nothing wrong or right of you. If you want me to join you, then let’s split it like that! If you were thinking about paying back the favour from earlier, you’d better save it. Your lives are worth far more than just a share of benefits.” Li Qingshan was never a stingy person. He took a liking to these disciples of mohism, so he would not let them go empty-handed. This was just the way he handled matters.
As the saying went, generosity came with ties of friendship. Petty people who only focused on small gains could never achieve anything significant. A generous, confident person had no need to worry about going without friends.
Hao Pingyang laughed happily as he slapped Li Qingshan’s shoulder. “Alright, I like you, kid!”
Although they were not skilled in battle as disciples of mohism, the mechanisms and puppets that they could create were items that all Qi Practitioners desired. They would be worth even more than regular spiritual artifacts. Every single disciple of mohism was a respected existence wherever they went. The Zombie Daoist who hid underground and refined corpses could not rival their statuses.
The brothers, Jin Yuan and Jin Bao, were inspired as well. Jin Yuan said, “If we work together, what’s there to fear about the Zombie Daoist? We’ll earn our share fair and square!”
Jin Bao said, “I’ve embarrassed myself, so I need to redeem myself. I can’t let others look down on us mohist disciples.”
The gloomy morgue became filled with vigour from these young men. Originally, killing the Zombie Daoist was a rather fearful mission, but now, it was a task that required them to work hard together to complete. Their fear had already vanished.
