Iron Snow Clouds

Chapter 1078 (One Thousand and Seventy-Eight)
The alchemists looked at each other. No one dared to speak at first. Then one of them said boldly, "Shouldn't there be any?"

Another Taoist priest said, "I know. The color of the paper with my name on it has never changed."

Then, several other alchemists also said that the color of the yellow paper with their names on it had definitely never changed.

Before this, Tie Wandao gave each of the alchemists two yellow paper slips and asked them to write their names on the yellow paper slips. He also told them that the yellow paper slips were given to them by another alchemist with extremely high magical powers. If anyone had the idea of ​​being disloyal to him while doing that thing, the color of the paper slip would change. If that person's idea eventually returned to being loyal to him, the color of the paper slip would return to its original yellow color after they had done their thing.

Among those alchemists, some believed it and some doubted it. No matter whether they believed it or not, no one dared to try it, because if someone had other thoughts, and the yellow paper with that person's name in Tie Wandao's hand changed color, even if it turned back to yellow in the end, that person's life would probably be in danger.

At this time, seeing that many Taoist priests said that the color of the yellow paper with their names on it had never changed, Tie Wandao suddenly frowned and asked, "Really? Are you so sure? I specially sent someone to observe the color of the paper I put here. It is not up to you to decide whether it has changed or not."

Although some alchemists knew that they had no other intentions, they were still worried that something might go wrong and felt uneasy.

At this time, Tie Wandao suddenly laughed and said, "I was just teasing you! I'm glad that this time, none of your notes changed color!"

Only then did the alchemists breathe a sigh of relief.

Tie Wandao said: "The reason why I paid you more is also related to the fact that none of the names on the slips changed color."

The alchemists expressed their gratitude to Tie Wandao.

Then, Tie Wandao smiled and asked them to line up and follow him to another room, and take the yellow paper with their names written on it in the hands of the alchemists to receive their rewards.

After arriving at the room, Tie Wandao took the yellow paper from the first Taoist priest and picked up a metal box. On the outside of the metal box was a yellow paper with the Taoist priest's name on it. After Tie Wandao opened the metal box, he put the yellow paper that the Taoist priest had just handed over inside the metal box. After looking at the yellow paper that had just been put into the metal box, he saw that there was no change, so he closed the metal box and handed it to the Taoist priest.

What the alchemist received was: a metal box containing silver and the yellow paper slip that had been placed with him. Attached to the outside of the metal box was the yellow paper slip that had been placed with Tie Wandao. The alchemist's name was on both yellow paper slips.

The moment the Taoist priest took the metal box, he suddenly felt his hands numb, but the feeling passed quickly and he didn't care about it. He quickly thanked Tie Wandao.

Then, Tie Wandao drew a circle next to the name of the alchemist who had received his reward on a piece of white paper with the names of the alchemists written on it, and said to the alchemists, "Do you know why I asked you to collect your reward with this yellow paper?"

Some of the alchemists couldn't think of anything, while others thought of some possibilities but didn't dare to say it, so most of them shook their heads or simply said they didn't know.
