Chapter 356: 206 The Six Great Cursing Masters (Subscribe! Vote for monthly tickets!)_2

This Five-colored Gourd is indeed a Ten Thousand Tribulations Supreme Treasure!

It sure is expensive, but its potency is just as real.

Ripening it once requires 100 million incense power points.

Qin Hao estimated that to reach full maturity, it would need at least 500 billion incense power points.

Even then, he wasn’t sure if that would be sufficient.

After ripening it this time, Qin Hao only had a little over 600 million incense power points left in his possession.

He decided not to meddle with it anymore.

Dumping 600 million incense power points into the Ten Thousand Tribulations Level Five-colored Gourd would obviously be like a drop in the bucket.

Better to keep it in hand.

But overall, Qin Hao was quite satisfied with the ripening of the Five-colored Gourd today.

After taking one last look at the Five-colored Gourd, Qin Hao walked out of the vegetable garden and back to the Heavenly Master Mansion.

Upon returning to the Heavenly Master Mansion, Qin Hao found that Taoist Jing Xuan, who had left satisfied earlier with three Spirit Swords of the True Martial Level, had unexpectedly come back.

Qin Hao asked, “Taoist Jing Xuan, is there anything else?”

Taoist Jing Xuan said, “Heavenly Master, several laymen have arrived at the Taoist temple intending to make a sizable monetary contribution. In addition, they wish to meet with you, saying that they have something to discuss with you!”

If it were a trivial matter, Taoist Jing Xuan would not have bothered to report to the Heavenly Master.

Taoist Jing Xuan’s status at Qingyun Mountain was quite high.

Aside from the Heavenly Master, he was essentially the second in command at Qingyun Mountain,

capable of handling monetary contributions on his own.

But today was different–the amount they wished to donate was indeed substantial.

They specifically requested to meet with the Heavenly Master.

Moreover, the request they had was quite complicated.

Thus, Taoist Jing Xuan made his way up the mountain to relay the message.

Qin Hao nodded upon hearing this.

If the matter was complex enough to trouble Taoist Jing Xuan, then he was indeed intrigued to see it for himself.

He went down to the Taoist Temple at the base of the mountain, where several Red Robed Taoists were attending to the donors.

At the moment, the three donors were offering their respects to The Three Pure Ones.

Qin Hao recognized the three people at a glance.

Weren’t they Li Jin Yan’s family, who a few months back, during the incident at Yuxu Mountain, were kidnapped by Zhang Jinlong?

Qin Hao had met them.

And with his level of cultivation, he possessed a photographic memory; even after three months, he could recognize them instantly.

When the family saw the Heavenly Master approaching, they stood up and walked toward him.

“Heavenly Master!”

Qin Hao said, “Supreme Heavenly Venerate! Layman Li, Mrs. Li, Miss Li! May I inquire what brings you here?”

Li Jin Yan’s father was a tycoon, the head of a listed company among the world’s top 500.

Upon seeing the Heavenly Master, he said without hesitation, taking out a bank card and presenting it, “Heavenly Master, it’s like this, we are deeply grateful for the kindness you showed in rescuing our daughter from that malefactor. After we returned home, our family discussed the matter and decided to contribute some money as incense power donation to Qingyun Mountain.

There are 30 billion in cash on this card. I’m handing it over to the Heavenly Master today, to form a good karma with the Li Family!”

Qin Hao looked at the bank card Boss Li offered with some surprise.

It actually had 30 billion?

That’s no small sum!

30 billion might not be considered a lot for Qin Hao now.

After all, he had previously sold talismans to Korea and Japan for a total of 900 billion.

And later, the Earth Vein Essence was valued at several trillion.

30 billion isn’t a large sum for a cultivator.

But for the Li family, ordinary people who were business entrepreneurs,

it was indeed a significant fortune.

After all, last year, Mr. Wang’s son’s company at some national plaza earned only about 30 billion for the whole year.

And that wasn’t even net profit.

Even Mr. Wang might not be able to come up with 30 billion in cash all at once.

Only the Li family, with even more substantial assets than Mr. Wang’s, could bring out so much cash to donate.

However, Qin Hao’s first reaction was not to accept the money.

Looking at the bank card with 30 billion in cash, and then at Boss Li who was handing over the money,

Qin Hao said, “Layman Li, your visit is not simply for making an incense power donation, is it? If you had no other matter to request, you certainly wouldn’t have offered so much.”

Qin Hao could see right through it.

If it were just to express gratitude for saving his daughter,

Boss Li might not have offered so much money.

After all, it’s 30 billion!

If it were merely out of thanks, no wealthy person would part with their money like it’s burning a hole in their pocket, right?

At most, they would offer 1 or 2 billion.

But to produce 30 billion in one go!

Wasn’t this indicative of having some other request?

Upon hearing the Heavenly Master’s words, Boss Li’s face turned awkward.

He said, “The Heavenly Master’s insight is profound; I knew I couldn’t hide it from you. Indeed, I do have a request.”

Before Boss Li could fully explain his request,

Qin Hao cut in, “Allow me to guess: your request is for yourself and your daughter? Have you offended someone in your business dealings over the years?

From the moment you approached, I could sense an evil energy in your bodies, not ghost energy, corpse energy, or any sort of Yin evil Qi known in Dragon Country.

Instead, it’s Demonic Qi. On the whole Blue Star, only the cursing masters of Southeast Asia practice this kind of Demonic Qi. Boss Li, have you offended a cursing master?”

With just a few words, Qin Hao got to the heart of the matter.

The Li family was stunned into silence.

They hadn’t even spoken, and the Heavenly Master had already guessed it all?

Truly befitting of one who wears the purple robe!

Absolutely divine!

Boss Li immediately knelt down with a thud.

He pleaded, “I beg the Heavenly Master to save us!”

Then, he explained the whole story.

It all began over a decade ago when the Li family’s business went international, establishing branch companies in many countries.

The Li family is involved in international pharmaceutical business.

Over a decade ago, they started several branches in Southeast Asia.

Over the years, the Li family’s branches there grew larger and larger,

gradually squeezing out the business of local pharmaceutical companies.

As a result, hostility arose.

Initially, it was just negotiations.

Later, it escalated into direct confrontation.

Southeast Asia is relatively chaotic.

Fortunately, since the Li family’s company was large and had the protection of local officials, nothing too serious had happened.

But recently, what the Li family had never expected was

that their competitors, driven to desperation,

unable to deal with the company conventionally,

actually spent a fortune to go down an unscrupulous path and hired the most famous Curse Organization in the region.

The Six Black-Clothed Curses of the Qinghua Organization took action against the Li family.

The Li family has connections in Southeast Asia.

Some insiders who were also friendly with the Li family informed Boss Li about this.

Boss Li had also spent a considerable amount of money since last year to invite skilled individuals to his home to help deal with the situation.

However, according to Boss Li,

since last year, the skilled individuals he had invited,

those with lower abilities, didn’t last many days before they died on the spot.

Those with higher skills were scared off after a few days.

Before leaving in a hurry, as though they had seen something extremely terrifying,

they even returned the money, saying they couldn’t interfere in the matter.

Recently, Boss Li indeed felt unwell.

After many skilled individuals were unable to resolve the issue, he became scared and had no option but to seek the Heavenly Master’s help.

After listening, Qin Hao said nothing.

Instead, he placed a finger on Boss Li’s forehead, sensing the Curse Demon Energy within him.

He had only taken a quick look before and hadn’t inspected it closely.

Now, after a thorough examination,

Qin Hao let out a cold chuckle, “Supreme Heavenly Venerate! Such a vast amount of Curse Demon Energy in your body, and it belongs to several different Curse Techniques! Haha, that’s quite a move–so ruthless and venomous!

It seems your opponents hold quite the grudge against you, Boss Li. To mobilise six sorcerers to pull off such a feat, they must have spent a lot and made considerable sacrifices. It looks like they’re not just after your family’s lives, but also aim to destroy you completely–ruining your wealth and tearing your family apart! They want you to lose everything.”

Upon hearing Qin Hao’s words, the Li family’s faces turned pale.

What did the Heavenly Master mean?

Was the curse in their family that dangerous?
