Chapter 360

Chapter 360: What about splitting evenly?

As many disciples expressed their gratitude, three spiritual beasts returned below.

They had completed all their tasks in the spiritual fields, and now they were certainly here to ask Ji Yang for pills!

Seeing this, Ji Yang spoke up:

“Little Black, take the brothers down the peak!”

Little Black showed a hint of dissatisfaction but then thought better of it, casting a proud glance at the nearby Xuanqing.

The meaning was clear: you see Ji Yang called me, not you!

His position on Jingtan Peak was not something they could compare to!

Carrying such thoughts, Little Black immediately followed behind the crowd.

The brothers who received this special treatment initially wore joyful expressions, thinking Senior Brother Ji was truly kind.

However, as they descended the mountain, they felt a sharp gaze from behind.

This gaze tightened their hearts, making them afraid to look around, and even their steps quickened considerably.

This caused those who had wanted to stay a bit longer on Jingtan Peak to hastily leave! They wanted to avoid angering the True Spirit behind them, which might swallow them in a fit of displeasure.

Once many disciples left Jingtan Peak, Little Black hurried back up the peak.

That sharp gaze was not fake; it was purposeful.

Who told these people to walk so slowly? He was eager to return and ask for pills!

This time, he was sure he had performed the best.

He was counting on those ten pills!

After Little Black left, the others dared to turn back and look.

The once ordinary Jingtan Peak now appeared different in their eyes, the mystery surrounding it deepening their expectations.

“I wonder when Senior Brother Ji will build the wooden houses again.”

One disciple sighed in the crowd.

“Alright, brothers, let’s return to Feng Ling Valley to report to the elder!”

…

“Sigh, I’m in a difficult position too!”

At the peak of Jingtan, Ji Yang faced the penetrating gazes of the three spiritual beasts and sighed.

At this moment, the three spiritual beasts realized something was off and turned their questioning looks toward Ji Yang.

You don’t want to give us pills?

“Ahem, of course not. I see all your efforts, but you all worked so hard this time; it’s really difficult for me to choose.”

“How about this: there are ten pills in total; you three can split them evenly!”

Ji Yang proposed a compromise.

Of course, he had to give something; if he didn’t, the three spiritual beasts would definitely unite their gazes against him, and that would make things troublesome.

However, how to distribute the pills was a clever thought. If he only gave them to one spiritual beast, that beast would naturally face the resentment of the other two.

But that might also lead to an unpredictable situation where any one of the beasts could suddenly act out.

This did not align with Ji Yang’s plan.

So, Ji Yang decided to be fair and split them evenly!

His suggestion caused hesitation in the eyes of the three beasts!

However, thinking about the pills they would receive, the three beasts eventually nodded silently, accepting Ji Yang’s proposal.

Ji Yang maintained his smile and said again:

“But how do we split them?”

“There are ten pills, and you have three of you!”

Upon hearing this, Little Black immediately raised his claw and began to calculate.

This prompted disdainful looks from Little White and Xuanqing beside him.

To rely on claws for such simple math was truly embarrassing for them!

But considering that ten pills divided among the three of them wouldn’t be even, it was impossible to split the last pill into three, right?

That would also cause the pill’s effectiveness to diminish.

The three beasts fell into deep thought for a moment.

At this time, Ji Yang revealed a light smile and said again:

“I actually have a method; I wonder if you will agree.”

The three beasts turned their gazes back toward him again.

Ji Yang reined in his smile and solemnly proposed:

“How about this? I will give each of you three pills first, and for the last pill, I will keep it for now. Next time, whoever performs the best gets the last pill. What do you think?”

“I agree!”

Before Little Black and Little White could speak, Xuanqing had already raised her hand in agreement.

She had just arrived and, without the skills of Little Black and Little White in the business, knew this pill would definitely not be in her hands this time.

But once she got familiar with things, she was sure she wouldn’t be weaker than the two!

At that time, wouldn’t that last pill belong to her?

Although she now had wealth, with many pills of this kind in her turtle shell, the effectiveness of the pill made having one more worthwhile.

Of course, this was only a secondary goal.

Once she accumulated enough Yun Ling Dan and swallowed them, her strength would definitely skyrocket, and when she returned to her family, she would surely become the most outstanding one of the Xuanwu clan!

The Xuanwu clan had a rule that whoever among the younger generation was the most talented and had the highest potential would have a chance to inherit the True Spirits position of the family.

This was not an idle title; it related to many resources and secrets within the Xuanwu clan, and it also presented the opportunity to become the next clan leader.

Originally, Xuanqing did not hold out much hope. After all, while her talent was good, there were several others in the family who were more talented than her.

But now, with the Yun Ling Dan, things were different.

Perhaps she could achieve a leap forward with this!

This was also the reason why Xuanqing worked so hard after arriving at Jingtan Peak; after all, how could a mere Yun Ling Dan make her put in so much effort!

The accumulated wealth of the Xuanwu clan over the years was Xuanqing’s ultimate goal.

This was also why she was the first to nod in agreement.

However, Xuanqing buried these thoughts in her heart; for now, she needed to strip Ji Yang of all the pills he had.

Seeing Xuanqing agree first, Little Black and Little White pondered for a moment before also choosing to consent.

One pill was nothing to the two beasts! They had already eaten enough spiritual grains at Jingtan Peak to circle the He Dao Sect twice.

Nevertheless, no matter what, this last pill must not be allowed to go to Xuanqing.

This was the unanimous opinion of the two beasts.

Seeing all three beasts agree, Ji Yang revealed a satisfied smile.

Very good, just like that. This feeling was right.

While Ji Yang felt proud, Ren Yuning, watching from the side, showed a look of disdain.

She had seen many tricks in the Heaven Demon Sect; such tactics could only fool these three completely clueless spiritual beasts. It was ridiculous that those beasts looked so pleased.

True Spirits, indeed!

But Ren Yuning suddenly had a new idea in her mind.

Perhaps this was also her opportunity!

Why not use these spiritual beasts to escape from the He Dao Sect?

Wasn’t it just about pills? The pills from the Heaven Demon Sect were profuse, and although Ji Yang’s pills were somewhat different, they couldn’t compare to the vast quantity of pills from her sect.

Using them to lure these three spiritual beasts was more than enough!

“All right, there’s nothing else to do today!”

Seeing Xuanqing’s eager demeanor, Ji Yang waved his hand.

He still had half a mountain of spiritual grains left to plant.

And Ji Yang did not intend to rely on them for planting; the key was that they wouldn’t do a good job anyway, so it was better to do it himself.

Xuanqing showed a look of disappointment upon hearing this.

The two beasts beside her snorted lightly and walked away proudly!

Little White chose to return to the pond, while Little Black headed toward the newly built wooden house, clearly intending to use one of the rooms as his residence.
