I Don't Want to Get Hurt, So I'll Max Out My Defense Chapter 1269

Chapter 1269: Chapter 1270: The Amount Involved in the Case Is Huge Chapter 1269: Chapter 1270: The Amount Involved in the Case Is Huge [Li Heibai: Mighty beings never die!]
[Li Xiaobai: Where are they now?]
[Li Heibai: They're on the outskirts of Buddha Country, surrounded by our brothers who are holding them back with ease.]
[Paratrooper No.1 Li Xiaobai: Hurry up and deal with the Great Thunderclap Temple, stop dawdling!]
[I'm Really Not Li Xiaobai: With Decay God Possession boosting me, mere Saint Realm powerhouses are nothing!]
[Li Xiaobai's Little Fanboy: Boss can be reckless, we'll give you a boost!]
In the chatroom, his avatars were talking back and forth; Li Xiaobai finally understood what was going on.

Gathered together, these avatars, with Decay God Possession amplified several times over, were using this negative state to hold their own against those two Saint Realm powerhouses.

However, holding back Saint Realm powerhouses was surely not something a mere one or two avatars could handle; it would probably take at least a few dozen avatars working together, their afflictions boosted several dozen times, to even possibly delay them.

[Li Xiaobai: You guys hold them off, I'll sneak attack!]
After dropping this line, Li Xiaobai exited the System chat group.

He checked the progress of his achievement task.

[Host: Li Xiaobai!]
[…]
[Achievement Task: Reverse Enlightenment (Current Progress: 63%) Reward: Unclaimed!]
[…]
From 49% to 63% in a leap–that was definitely the Huazi planted by Heavenly Dragon Temple doing its job. After their escape, the monks must have begun using Huazi, returning them to normal by now, essentially having them undergo Reverse Enlightenment.

“Tomorrow, I'll be able to enlighten another city; however, to prevent the monks here from being re-enlightened by the Power of Faith of the Buddhist Sect, I still need to prepare for both possibilities!”

Twisting his wrist, he took out a bunch of Thousand Paper Cranes, each tied with several packs of Huazi, and sent them flying out the window one by one, all set to explode twelve hours later.

This wasn't just Li Xiaobai's own action but was being done by nearly all avatars scattered throughout Buddha Country at the same time.

In countless temples, little groups of Thousand Paper Cranes soared up into the sky, ready to burst into action at the right moment.

“If Buddha Country is liberated, the world will probably be thrown into chaos. Then, I'll take all the masters from the Buddhist Pagoda, bring them to the Eastern Continent, and protect my Sword Sect!”

Li Xiaobai mumbled to himself, with the loss of Buddhist followers and the collapse of the Power of Faith, the virtuous cycle would be cut off. The foundation of the entire Buddha Country would be shaken by the force of a single person, and chaos was inevitable.

“Kid, what are you doing?”

Watching Li Xiaobai's actions, Ergouzi asked.

Li Xiaobai said: “Just taking precautions…”

“Toss a few to Lord Buddha as well…”

Ergouzi said, shamelessly.

“Eight hundred thousand per crane, you got the cash?”

Early the next morning.

Li Xiaobai walked the streets bright and breezy, with Ergouzi and his posse in tow. The Buddhist monks they passed all bowed in respect. Overnight, the news had reached the entire Bodhi Temple: an immensely powerful monk had crafted an item that could enhance the cultivators' realization abilities. It would be sold in the major temples today. Some astute individuals had already guessed that this extraordinary master might very well be Nicholas Ergouzi, who tops the charts of merit!

“Thirty thousand supreme Immortal Stones apiece, a pack of Huazi with twenty pieces totals six hundred thousand supreme Immortal Stones. Don't mess up the accounts; Master Wuyuzi is going to check later.”

Li Xiaobai took out a mountain of Storage Bags and spoke indifferently.

“Understood!”

The monastery heads, who had been waiting in the great hall for a long time, swiftly began to pack and quickly left after filling bag after bag.

“Monks from the Bodhi Temple are indeed efficient, both in action and in thought, far surpassing that of the Heavenly Dragon Temple. I will report this honestly.”

Li Xiaobai nodded, his eyes full of approval as he spoke.

“Buddha, I will also report to Master Wuyuzi!”

Ergouzi seemed somewhat dejected, as it appeared there was no longer anything for it in the Bodhi Temple. Its two million merits seemed to interest no one, how could they at least not ask where it got those merits from, so it could have a chance to brag!

“Amitabha, thank you both for your kind words!”

Abbot Huyan gave a slight bow with a smile on his face as he spoke.

In fact, everyone was aware of Ergouzi's source of merits; it wasn't that they didn't ask. They knew that getting one million merits experience took no effort, and it was obvious that this dog must have benefited from Huazi's influence to reach two million merits.

“We'll settle accounts daily, I'll come to collect in the evening. Please make sure, Master Abbot, to prepare the resources.”

“We will return to the Great Thunderclap Temple to report back tomorrow!”

Li Xiaobai said.

“With the myriad affairs you all handle daily, this old monk admires you. Be assured, dealing with our Bodhi Temple is absolutely honest; the amount agreed upon is the amount we adhere to, we will fully cooperate!”

Monk Huyan chatted merrily, and Abbot Luan Yu too had a smiling face. Last night, the monks had discussed and believed that Huazi would continue to be available for purchase. This first batch was merely a bonus period; it was not worth losing the bigger picture over, so for today's trade, they decided not to mess around, to immediately learn from past lessons and to honestly take only what belonged to them.

Thus, by contrast, the Great Thunderclap Temple would soon see the gap between themselves and the Bodhi Temple. From a long-term perspective, the Heavenly Dragon Temple was going to be eliminated!

Within the temple, there were long queues again, but this time with fewer complications. Despite the sky-high price of Huazi, monks were not vague about spending money.

Nearly everyone had a Huazi, costing eight hundred thousand for a bag, and with ten bags for one Huazi, that made it eight million top-grade Immortal Stones. That was just for one person; without even calculating, it was clear that it would easily be another income of tens of billions.

“Kid, we agreed to split it evenly, don't you dare play any tricks.”

Ergouzi warned vigilantly.

“Indeed, the stakes are huge. If you plan to scam us and run away halfway, no one will be able to protect you!”

Xiao Lao Di also said, squinting his eyes and emitting strands of a dangerous aura.

“Damn, this kid is silent, he's definitely planning to run away. I will follow him!”

Ji Wuqing hopped on the spot, bouncing onto Li Xiaobai's shoulder like a rubber ball before slipping inside his collar.

Li Xiaobai: “Everyone relax, I'm not that kind of person. This time we are in this heist together; every penny will be split equally. Rest assured, it will be all fair.”

“We need to leave for the Western Continent immediately after getting the accounts tonight, and we will be counting on Senior Xiao Lao Di!”

That night.

Huazi was distributed like a production line, just like at the Heavenly Dragon Temple. In just one day, the abbots of various monasteries came to him to refill their stocks hundreds of times. While amazed, Li Xiaobai also felt deeply moved inside – these monks really are wealthy. A single Huazi costing eight million top-grade Immortal Stones, and yet people were still continuously buying in bulk. Truly filthy rich!

In the great hall.

Abbot Huyan had already arranged the income from the sale of Huazi within the Bodhi Temple. The hall was packed with Storage Bags, piled up like mountains, and many high monks had trembling hands behind their backs.

The resources here were just too much, unimaginable amounts, and it wasn't easy to suppress the greed in their hearts.

Abbot Huyan's heart was bleeding. At this moment, he finally understood why the Heavenly Dragon Temple would send the Heavenly Dragon Eight Divisions just to keep these people around: “Elder Xueyuan, Master Wuhu, all the income from today's sale of Huazi is here. As we agreed beforehand, you take ninety percent.”
