I Have Awakened The Deduction System

Chapter 796 - 796 Western Desert's Ambition

The world was vast and boundless. In the five continents, the southern border where mountains overlapped, and the extreme north where the world was covered in ice and snow, the human race mainly lived in the barren Eastern Continent, the Western Desert, and the Central Plains.

Buddhism and Emperor Fu’s ideas were the opposite, so they could only stay in a corner and live alone in the Western Desert.

Although the Western Desert was called the Five Provinces because it was barren all year round, with thousands of miles of yellow sand, there were very few people there.

If he wanted to continue developing, he had to enter other prefectures.

However, back then, the Buddhist Kingdom had requested that all those who converted to Buddhism belonged to the Buddhist Kingdom.

It was still fine in the sparsely populated Southern Border and the extreme north. But it would naturally arouse strong opposition in the orthodox Central Continent and barren East Continent.

He would gradually devour the people if he could let go of this point and start from his thoughts. When the Buddhist Dharma was completely spread, and there were countless believers, it would be easy for him to do anything else.

“Western Desert Buddhist Kingdom’s plan is a brilliant one!” He Chuan had to express his admiration.

“In this old man’s opinion, based on Young Master’s words alone, you have a deeper understanding of the Buddhist Kingdom than this old man!” Master Shengkang laughed heartily.

Especially the overlord of Jiang Country, he only saw the benefits of Buddhism and failed to see the hidden dangers in the future!

Some people were willing to believe it, while others were unwilling to believe it.

“I’ve heard that the Buddhist Kingdom only has Buddhist Dhyana and martial arts dual cultivation. This is the first time I’ve heard that a Buddhist Dhyana knows how to refine pills.” He Chuan looked at Old Chen.

How could he miss the chance to compete in both martial arts and Buddhist alchemy?!

Wei Jianning, Yao Qiankun, and the others looked at each other.

Could it be that he wanted to see the battle between Buddhist Dhyana Jing An and Xing Tunyue?

However, how could anyone be allowed to watch the competition organized by the Great Zhao Imperial Family?

“If that’s the case, you can follow me tomorrow.” Master Sheng Kang said.

“At the same time, you could give Xing Tunyue some advice so he would not lose face with the Great Zhao tomorrow!”

“Master, do you know Xing Tunyue?”

“Although we haven’t seen each other for many years, we still have some connections.”

Master Sheng Kang said truthfully.

Moreover, the Buddhist Kingdom’s Buddhist Dhyana had come to challenge Great Zhao’s alchemy. How could Sheng Kang, this old bag of bones, not go?

If Great Zhao really wanted to compete with Buddhist Dhyana Jing An in alchemy tomorrow, the imperial family would definitely send an invitation to invite Sheng Kang to be the judge. At that time, he would just follow him into the Great Zhao Imperial Palace!

He wasn’t bragging. As the alchemy grandmaster of Great Zhao and one of the three grandmasters of the Eight Treasures Pavilion in the Central Plains, he was most famous for his appreciation and evaluation of pills.

It was fine for ordinary alchemy competitions, but Sheng Kang was definitely the most authoritative referee for large-scale competitions like this involving national beauty.

The royal family should have invited him!

“If Young Master wants to watch the competition, you can save a lot of trouble by entering Great Zhao’s Imperial Palace through Master Sheng Kang!” Old Chen instantly came to a realization.

“I’ll have to trouble Master Sheng Kang tomorrow!” He Chuan cupped his hands towards Master Sheng Kang.

“No worries! This old man wished that Young Master He could stay, but he had no reason to do so, so he did not dare to speak.” Master Sheng Kang said with a smile.

Now, he could use this as an excuse to invite them to stay in his residence temporarily and head to the Great Zhao Imperial Palace tomorrow!

He Chuan pondered for a moment and immediately nodded.

The knocking sounded again.

“Divine Elder, Eunuch Liu is here!” Immediately after, a servant’s report came from outside the door.

“Look, aren’t they here?” Upon hearing this, Master Sheng Kang said to everyone with a smile.

The door opened.

The servants of the Eight Treasures Pavilion bowed their heads and humbly led the eunuch in.

“Liu Pei greets the Divine Elder!” The eunuch was extremely fair and had a thin body. On his slightly sunken jaw, his two eyes were narrow and long. He looked rather sinister and treacherous.

He only glanced at the people in the room before bowing respectfully to Master Sheng Kang.

“Eunuch Liu, there’s no need to be so polite. I don’t know if Your Majesty has any orders for you to visit my humble abode suddenly?” Master Sheng Kang straightened his back and asked directly.

“Reporting to the Divine Elder, the envoy from the Buddhist Kingdom of the Western Desert, known as Buddhist Dhyana Jing An, wants to challenge Great Zhao’s alchemy. He wants to win the Thousand Faces Mirror, the country’s treasure, with Tianyuan Spirit Stones as the wager.” Liu Pei said respectfully.

“This matter was related to Great Zhao’s country and involved the country’s supreme treasure.”

“His Majesty had already gathered the pill refiners of the Sui and An Families and invited Lord Xing Tunyue to lead the troops to battle.”

“His Majesty sent this subordinate to invite the Sacred Elder to be the judge of tomorrow’s competition to evaluate the medicinal pills!”

Master Sheng Kang looked as if he had just heard the news. His face revealed a look of surprise.

His gaze swept over He Chuan and the others.

Liu Pei saw this scene and thought that Master Sheng Kang was unwilling. He hurriedly knelt down and begged.

“His Majesty knew that Sheng Kang had just returned to Great Zhao and was tired from the journey, so he didn’t want to disturb him.”

“However, this was a serious matter and he had no choice but to ask him to help.”

“Please agree, Divine Elder!”

“Eunuch Liu is His Majesty the Emperor’s attendant. How can I accept your bow?” Upon seeing this, Master Sheng Kang hurried forward and helped Liu Pei up.

“This old man will agree!”

“This servant dares to thank Master Sheng Kang on behalf of His Majesty!” When Liu Pei heard this, he hurriedly bowed deeply again. However, his gaze vaguely swept over He Chuan and the others beside him, and his gaze was a little hesitant.

“His Majesty still has a secret order to pass down. It’s of great importance. I wonder if you can block others?”

“It’s fine. These few are my honored guests and great alchemists.” Master Sheng Kang was a little embarrassed.

“Tomorrow’s competition concerns the Great Zhao’s national treasure, so you can only win. You can’t lose.”

Liu Pei could not help but feel a little guilty. He looked around and finally gritted his teeth.

Sheng Kang was just a judge. He only judged the quality of the pills and did not participate in the competition.

His Majesty’s request should be told to Xing Tunyue.

It seemed that the Divine Elder did not understand what he meant!

Liu Pei was anxious.

His Majesty’s meaning was that he hoped that Sheng Kang could take care of Great Zhao during the competition tomorrow!

Everyone’s expression changed.

Master Sheng Kang retracted his hands, his expression slightly dark.

This was to make him cheat!

Tomorrow’s competition was too important to Great Zhao, so he only needed Sheng Kang to take care of him.

If he could win, he would win. If he couldn’t win, he could only draw. He couldn’t let Buddhist Dhyana Jing An win!

Master Sheng Kang naturally knew its importance.

However, importance was importance, and principles were principles.

He had been a pill dao judge since he was 17 years old. He had been a judge for countless pill dao competitions and was known for his fairness.

“How can I ruin my reputation for personal gain?”

“Eunuch, please tell His Majesty that as a citizen of Great Zhao, I could take care of him, but as an alchemy grandmaster, I should be fair and strict.” Master Sheng Kang said righteously.

“Tomorrow’s competition was indeed a serious matter.”

“However, if Your Majesty wants to win, let Xing Tunyue work harder and not think of other ways.”

“Otherwise, it would be difficult to convince the masses if the Great Zhao won tomorrow’s battle.”

“It was a small matter that his heroic name was destroyed, but Zhao Guoyan’s reputation was completely ruined. It was a grave crime that would last forever!”

“This old servant will naturally report the Holy Elder’s words truthfully to Your Majesty.” Seeing Master Sheng Kang speak so righteously, Liu Pei could not help but smile bitterly. He wanted to say something but hesitated. In the end, he swallowed all the persuasion that was on the tip of his tongue.

“Eunuch, please do not worry His Majesty. This old man will go tomorrow. As for other matters, please do not mention them again.” Master Sheng Kang instructed the servants to send him off.
