After rebirth, she killed her best friend and took over the scumbag's kingdom

The man with the shrill voice originally intended to threaten and force the Taoist priest.

However, when he caught a glimpse of Prince Duan standing next to him, his expression instantly became fawning and his attitude immediately became much more restrained.

He knew very well that he must not act rudely in front of the prince, so he had to put on a smile and continued to beg the Taoist priest.

"Master Qingxuan, please lend me a helping hand no matter what! Everyone knows that Prince Duan has been suffering from illness, and no effective treatment has been found by famous doctors all over the world. It can be said that he is terminally ill and incurable. But you were able to bring the prince back from the brink of death with your miraculous hands. So if you are willing to show your divine power and treat other patients, it will definitely be a piece of cake for you!"

Taoist Master Xu opened his eyes wide upon hearing this, and refuted mercilessly: "What nonsense you are talking about! How can this be confused? There is a fate between me and the prince, and that is why there is such an opportunity, and I have always only helped those who are destined to be with me."

After he finished speaking, he glanced coldly at the guy surnamed Gao. He couldn't bear to see it, so he reminded him, "Take a good look at the gate of this Taoist temple. These were specially built by the craftsmen invited by Prince Duan, so that we can have a better environment to practice. Not only that, the prince even spent a lot of money to renovate the entire Taoist temple so that I can practice with him in the Taoist temple. I dare to ask, who in the world can compare with the prince's sincerity?"

When Manager Gao heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up, as if he understood something.

He reached into his sleeve and pulled out a thick stack of banknotes. With a flattering smile on his face, he said to Taoist Qingxuan, "This is just a small amount of incense money. I hope you will accept it. It can also be regarded as a small contribution to the gods enshrined in the Taoist temple."

Taoist Xu casually glanced at the stack of banknotes and couldn't help but secretly praise this man for his generosity.

He nodded and said, "In that case, I will not refuse it. Thank you for your generous gift."

As soon as he finished speaking, he took out an exquisite jade box from his arms, which contained a golden elixir.

Taoist Xu gently opened the lid of the jade box with a look of pain and reluctance.

He carefully handed the jade box to Chief Steward Gao.

He then said earnestly, "It took me thirty years of hard work to refine these three golden pills. Prince Duan has already taken one, and now I will give you one. This way, I only have the last one left, so you must keep it well."

The man surnamed Gao opened his eyes wide and looked at the jade box in front of him, with a hint of surprise and joy in his eyes.

He took the jade box with trembling hands.

"Master, this... is this really the legendary golden elixir?" The man's voice was filled with excitement and disbelief.

In order to obtain this golden elixir, he went through untold hardships!

These days, he has been running around, working hard, sleeping in the open air, and suffering a lot.

I was afraid that the Taoist priest would not agree and I would not be able to explain myself when I return, and would have to lose my head.

Taoist Xu nodded and said, "As a cultivator, I should help the world and save people. Since this golden pill can help you, it is a blessing for it. But you must remember that although this pill has miraculous effects, it is not a panacea. I can only let you take it and try it."

Manager Gao placed the jade box carefully close to his body, as if he was afraid it would disappear.

Taoist Xu thought about the thick stack of banknotes and thought to himself: This Manager Gao is also a capable person.

After a little thought, Taoist Master Xu took out another porcelain bottle.

"There are a few pills in it. They are a small gift from me to you. Although their efficacy is not as miraculous as that of the golden elixir, they are enough for you."

The man surnamed Gao looked at the Taoist priest with surprise. He didn't expect that he had the same problem.

Although he did not explicitly state that the elixir was to be presented to the emperor, they both understood it tacitly.

He couldn't help but feel touched that the Taoist priest still remembered him.

He quickly bowed to the Taoist priest and said, "Thank you, Taoist priest. I will present the golden elixir to you when I return and report your contribution truthfully."

Seeing that the eunuch of the imperial palace had been almost fooled by him, Taoist Xu said, "Okay, since you have achieved your wish, lead those people down the mountain quickly and don't disturb the peace here."

The man surnamed Gao quickly apologized, "Yes, yes, I'm sorry to bother you, Taoist priest. We will go down the mountain right away."

He turned to Yun Kaizhou and asked, "I wonder when the prince will return to the capital, why don't we go together?"

Yun Kaizhou shook his head without hesitation, "Boss Gao, I have to stay here to continue practicing. There is spiritual energy here. If I leave here, I am afraid my life will be in danger."

Taoist Xu clasped his hands together and said, "The fate between the Prince of Duan's Mansion and Jiutian Temple has not yet ended, so I will not see you off, benefactor. Take care!"

Chief Steward Gao bowed respectfully and said, "Master, take care!"

Taoist Xu watched the group of people disappear completely. Only then did he breathe a sigh of relief and wipe the sweat from his forehead.

"Finally I managed to trick this troublesome eunuch away. It was so tiring."

Yun Kaizhou felt the same way, and asked An Qing sideways: "Are those experts that Chief Steward Gao brought here sure to be the hidden guards of the imperial palace?"

An Qing nodded, "Prince, sure."

Yun Kaizhou sneered: "I can't believe that the emperor would even use his own secret guards to find the so-called miracle medicine. It seems that he is really hungry."

Taoist Xu had no interest in their discussion. He waved his hand impatiently and urged, "Okay, let's go. I have to go back and have a drink with Commander Xiao. Look at this newly built mountain gate. It's quite impressive!"

Yun Kaizhou chatted with the Taoist priest as they walked, "Master, I think the defense facilities here are quite sophisticated. The hidden guards got lost in the formation you set up and couldn't escape. But if a lot of people come, it will probably be a bit difficult."

Taoist Xu stroked his long beard and glanced at him, thinking to himself, "You are a bad guy. I know you are up to no good as soon as you open your mouth. Tell me, what good ideas do you have?"

Yun Kaizhou continued nonchalantly, "I think Hengtian Mountain is rich in resources and has everything. How about driving the wild animals to the other side of the mountain gate wall?"

"I think you've lost your mind. Wild beasts can kill the enemy, but they can also kill us."

"With your talent, can this still be difficult for you?"

Master Xu raised his lips slightly, revealing a calm smile, and said softly, "You don't have to worry. Although the formation here is ingenious, I have already considered various possibilities. If a large number of enemies really come to attack, we still have a backup plan."
