Chapter 183: Three Gold Daoist
How do you manage a bunch of crazy people?
Just be more ruthless and crazier than them.
Old Demon Shi is the kind of person who doesn’t care how many people die as long as it’s for the right thing in his heart.
In order to save people who suffer like him, he has spread countless copies of the 《Sacred Heart Manual》, without considering the turmoil it would cause in the Jianghu and the greater tragedies it might bring.
Now, in order to save the people of Yangzhou who are suffering the most, he doesn’t hesitate to kill members of the Sacred Heart Cult.
From this perspective, he is indeed worthy of being the Cult Leader of the Sacred Heart Cult.
Xiao Heiwu with his handlebar mustache carefully sized up Shi Feizhe. Shi Feizhe was wearing ordinary clothes and had no airs about him. If it weren’t for his unfathomable cultivation, he would almost think that Shi Feizhe wasn’t the City Lord of Jicheng.
He heard Shi Feizhe ask, “I wonder what business brings you to Yangzhou? I have quite a few connections within the Sacred Heart Cult, maybe I can help you.”
Shi Feizhe really wanted to help this comic duo. The Ascension Path already had hot air balloons and gliders, so there must be other good stuff.
He wondered if they knew about acids and bases.
“Oh?” Xiao Heiwu said, “It would be great if you could help us. The reason we came to Yangzhou is very simple, we are looking for Martial Uncle Sanjin.”
“Huh? Could it be Three Gold Daoist?” Shi Feizhe thought of the flat-nosed Daoist who was buying soy sauce that he had met at the Qing Shan Martial Academy before and said, “Isn’t he from the Longevity Path?”
He had only met that one True Realm Daoist, so his impression was naturally deep.
“You’ve met Martial Uncle Sanjin?” Gu Chi with his square face said, “I wonder where you met him in Yangzhou?”
Gu Chi thought that Shi Feizhe had met Sanjin in Yangzhou, so he asked this question.
“I met him more than half a year ago in Yu Province.” Shi Feizhe said.
“Oh my! That was a long time ago.” Xiao Heiwu stroked his handlebar mustache and said, “We’ve been looking for Martial Uncle Sanjin for two months. We only heard from the senior brothers of the Longevity Path that Martial Uncle Sanjin went to Yangzhou half a year ago and there’s been no news since.”
“Martial Uncle Sanjin stayed at our Ascension Path in his early years. He is skilled in crafting gold objects and after many exchanges with the martial uncles of our Earth Fire Peak, his welding skills are unparalleled in the world. Now we want to build something on the mountain and need Martial Uncle Sanjin’s help.” He added.
What the hell?
“Welding? Not forge welding?” Shi Feizhe couldn’t help but ask.
Is it the kind of welding I’m thinking of?
“Not forge welding.” Xiao Heiwu said with a smile, “But two pieces of iron sheet that don’t need to be heated, just use a welding rod to weld them together. It’s Martial Uncle Sanjin’s unique skill!”
The so-called forge welding is to heat two pieces of iron sheet to a white-hot state, then use a hammer to repeatedly beat them to fuse them and weld them into one piece. The kind of welding Xiao Heiwu was talking about was more like…electric welding.
Damn, I thought the style of Yangzhou was wrong, but it turns out that you guys from the Ascension Path are even more out there!
The Jianghu is so vast, it’s truly peculiar.
You guys are already welding, don’t tell me you’re really going to build an aircraft?
Welding is a technical job. No wonder you guys have come all the way to find Three Gold Daoist, it turns out that Three Gold Daoist is a top welder!
“Hydrogen helium lithium beryllium boron, carbon nitrogen oxygen fluorine neon.” Shi Feizhe was silent for a while, then suddenly said this.
“?”
Xiao Heiwu didn’t understand what Shi Feizhe was talking about. He looked at Gu Chi. Gu Chi also widened his eyes and looked at Xiao Heiwu. He didn’t understand either.
“What you said is…” Xiao Heiwu asked.
“It’s nothing. I was reciting the scriptures of the Sacred Heart Cult, hoping for the safety of Three Gold Daoist. Yangzhou is too chaotic now.” Shi Feizhe made up nonsense without changing his expression.
They didn’t understand, which meant there were no transmigrators in the Ascension Path.
Not understanding…also meant that the Ascension Path was even more outrageous.
“We naturally heard that Yangzhou was quite chaotic when we came. But with Martial Uncle Sanjin’s abilities, self-preservation shouldn’t be a problem, right?” Xiao Heiwu stroked his handlebar mustache and said.
He had heard people talk about the rampant Sacred Heart Cult in Yangzhou on his way here.

Now that he was in Yangzhou, even Shi Feizhe said several times that Yangzhou was too chaotic, which meant that Yangzhou was truly chaotic.
“How about this, I’ll help you inquire about him. You can wait for news in the city.” Shi Feizhe said.
“That would be great! Thank you so much!” Xiao Heiwu said with great joy.
He stood up and bowed with Gu Chi to thank Shi Feizhe.
“Hey! It’s a small matter. Maybe I’ll need your sect’s help with something small in the future.” Shi Feizhe said with a smile.
He wondered how crooked the Ascension Path’s technology was. Once Jicheng was a little more stable and he could spare the time, he would definitely go to the Ascension Path to have a look.
He treated people with sincerity, maybe he could poach people from the Ascension Path and build a beautiful Nine Provinces together with him?
“Don’t worry! We at the Ascension Path never mistreat friends!” Xiao Heiwu said with a chuckle, “However, we still need to meet with Martial Uncle Xiao. We’ll probably come back to Jicheng in a few days.”
“Hmm! There should be news in a few days! You’ll be just in time when you come back then.” Shi Feizhe nodded.
After the two Daoists said some more polite words of thanks, they bid farewell to Shi Feizhe. They carried what he called the Luan Bird, what Shi Feizhe called a glider, and left Jicheng.
After they left, Shi Feizhe wrote a letter and had someone deliver it to Old Demon Shi.
Old Demon Shi was currently in Yucheng, the largest city in Yangzhou, which was a little less than a thousand miles away from Jicheng. Even for a Zhoutian martial artist, it would take a day to travel there.
He also vaguely asked in the letter if the Sacred Heart Cult had any places where martial artists were imprisoned, or which True Realm martial artists had been killed before?
He was indirectly inquiring about Fan Jianqiang’s whereabouts.
One of his purposes in coming to Yangzhou was to find Fan Jianqiang.
To see him alive if he’s alive, to see his body if he’s dead.
But he couldn’t directly ask Old Demon Shi if he had seen Fan Jianqiang, or someone who called himself Shi Feizhe of Astonishing Wisdom.
Since Old Demon Shi called himself Shi Feizhe of Astonishing Wisdom, if Shi Feizhe asked like that…
Wouldn’t that be exposing Old Demon Shi’s true colors?
Right now, he still needed to maintain a superficial relationship with Old Demon Shi. In Yangzhou, as long as Old Demon Shi didn’t cause trouble for Shi Feizhe, Shi Feizhe could transform Jicheng according to his own ideas and accumulate experience in Jizhou.
So finding Fan Jianqiang was just postponed.
If Fan Jianqiang was suffering, then he deserved it, and the intensity should be increased.
If Fan Jianqiang wasn’t suffering, then he hoped he would suffer greatly.
If Fan Jianqiang was dead, then he died too easily!
These were Shi Feizhe’s true thoughts.
Shi Feizhe recalled the first time he saw Fan Jianqiang at the Sun Moon Brilliance Sect, and how Fan Jianqiang had shaken his head and gossiped about the city with him.
Who would have thought that the chaos in Yangzhou started with him.
After sending the letter to Old Demon Shi, Shi Feizhe continued to work. He still had many things to deal with.
There was a big difference between saying and doing many things.
Three Gold Daoist, proficient in the art of transforming and welding copper, iron, and tin, how terrifying!
