The handover was completed on the same day. Jiang Han and Yang Xiao, along with other high-ranking officials, did not stay in the government office but instead chose a wealthy merchant's residence.
To be honest, the exterior of this house did not look impressive, but the interior was quite luxurious. It might be an exaggeration to say it was "a hall of white jade with golden horses," but it truly lived up to its reputation for extravagance, exuding opulence in every corner.
After sending the other young disciples off to rest, Jiang Han turned to Yang Xiao and asked, "Have we counted the casualties from this operation? What is the specific situation?"
Yang Xiao stepped forward slightly and cupped his hands in salute, saying, "The detailed list is not yet available, but generally speaking, the casualties among the lower-level disciples are not severe."
"Oh? Why is that?"
Jiang Han couldn't help but ask, and even the others looked at Yang Xiao with curiosity, waiting for him to explain further.
Yang Xiao smiled and did not keep them in suspense. He directly explained, "This operation was different from previous ones. Due to its overwhelming scale, both our followers and the lower-level warriors from Western Chu were forced to avoid the battle zones of the experts to prevent collateral damage."
With this explanation, everyone understood. The space was limited; when experts clashed, it was earth-shattering. Some low-level fighters who had not yet reached their potential would have no chance to escape or make an impact.
"Then how many Innate experts did we lose this time?" Jiang Han's heart sank a little.
It should be noted that Innate experts are not easy to cultivate; they are the backbone of almost every sect. Losing one is painful for everyone. In some second- and third-rate sects, they could even serve as leaders.
"Our Manichaeism had a total of one hundred seventy-two Innate experts participating in this battle. Eleven were killed in action, thirty-two were seriously injured, and sixty-eight sustained minor injuries."
Jiang Han's mouth twitched, feeling heartbroken.
Minor injuries were no big deal; after a good period of recovery, one could become a vigorous and strong warrior again. However, serious injuries were another matter. Some people, despite treatment, would end up passing away, and even those who recovered would often have their future abilities affected.
"Tell Hu Qingniu not to be stingy with the good medicine for the brothers. If I find out that any treatment was inadequate, I'll hang him up and beat him for three days and nights!"
When it came to winning people's hearts through theatrics, Jiang Han had become quite adept at it. After all, hadn't he seen enough to know how things worked?
When Hu Qingniu first took office as the head of the Pharmacy Hall, he was quite arrogant and set a lot of rules, saying he wouldn't treat anyone he found displeasing. As a result, Jiang Han hung him up for three days and nights, after which he became much more compliant.
Spoiled you! If you don't want to treat someone just because you don't like them! If you have the ability but refuse to use it for me while acting all high and mighty, then what use do I have for you?
Indeed, Jiang Han's declaration moved even the mid-level leaders present. Ever since the New Leader took office, the monthly allowances for the lower-level disciples had doubled. Various combat subsidies and job placements made the lower-level followers of Manichaeism, who were used to hard times, willing to go all out for him!
"Aazure Wing Bat King, how is your injury?"
Jiang Han walked up to Wei Yixiao and noticed he was trying to get up to pay his respects. He quickly pressed him back down. After chewing on his words for a moment, he looked at Baghdad Zen Master and said, "Baghdad Zen Master, you see, Black Jade Reattachment Ointment..."
He could command Baghdad Zen Master to bring out the secret medicine Black Jade Reattachment Ointment from the Original Vajra Sect, but sometimes it was necessary to gauge the situation when giving orders.
After all, Baghdad Zen Master was a seasoned martial arts master. If pushed too hard, he might take his disciples from the Original Vajra Sect and switch allegiance to another major power, which would be a huge loss for Jiang Han.
Perhaps, with the legendary Three Corpse Brain God Pill and Tianshan Tonglao's Life and Death Talisman, one could control a person's life and death, but there is absolutely no way to control their loyalty. Not to mention the Baghdad Zen Master, even someone like Ouyang Feng has their own pride and would not be forced to submit due to some means.
The Baghdad Zen Master wore a bitter smile as he painfully took out a portion of Black Jade Reattachment Ointment from his pouch and advised, "Master, you must urge master Hu to quickly develop more Black Jade Reattachment Ointment. My Original Vajra Sect only has three portions left."
Even in the entire martial world, Black Jade Reattachment Ointment is an extremely precious item, regarded as a miraculous healing medicine. In the past, the Vajra Sect treated it as the sect's treasured foundation, keeping it hidden away. Even as the Abbot, the Baghdad Zen Master did not dare to use it lightly. The reason is that the more it is used, the fewer portions remain!
The recipe for Black Jade Reattachment Ointment still exists, but times have changed. Many of the medicinal ingredients listed in the recipe have been renamed, and some have even become extinct for hundreds of years. Therefore, having the recipe is almost no different from not having it at all since it is impossible to gather all the necessary ingredients for a single batch of Black Jade Reattachment Ointment.
"Three portions left?" Jiang Han exclaimed in surprise, his gaze drifting momentarily towards Yin Tianzheng, and the implication was clear.
The Baghdad Zen Master's face nearly turned blood-red with anger; he pinched his nose and snorted before tossing another portion of Black Jade Reattachment Ointment to Jiang Han. Seeing him look as if everyone owed him money, Jiang Han couldn't help but comfort him: "Master, don't be stingy. I will definitely urge master Hu to find alternative ingredients quickly. Once the Black Jade Reattachment Ointment is refined, I will surely repay you tenfold!"
