Regret.
Li Ping'an, who had taught two public classes to the future elites of the Heavenly Court at the Heavenly Emperor's school, grew increasingly regretful.
Why did he offer such a high bounty for the Calamity Honored One?
Eight million units of merit truly overvalued him!
The likelihood of capturing the Calamity Honored One with such a bounty was not high; it would have been fine as just a symbolic gesture.
Li Ping'an actually hadn't anticipated that issuing a bounty would require an advance payment to the Heavenly Dao.
Couldn't he make installment payments after the work was done?
Almost all the merit he had accumulated over the years through increasing revenue and decreasing expenditure had been spent on this bounty notice; even the golden lotuses grown in the earliest two Merit Ponds now faced the risk of 'dehydration' and withering.
Li Ping'an secretly adjusted the allocation of merit converted to Heavenly Dao merit, giving priority to the Merit Treasure Pond.
