Three hours ago.
A team from the Immortal Sect, consisting mainly of Golden Core customs and tax specialists, arrived at Qingfeng Star. After receiving their storage bags, they dealt with the contents nearby and opened a virtual video conference room.
The one-ti seal was opened, and the quantity of twenty million spirit stones left everyone dumbstruck.
Although ng Yu had thoughtfully included a note with various data, the physical impact far surpassed that written information.
The relationship between ng Yu and the Immortal Sect was extrely delicate.
Simply put, before ng Yu displayed his ability to grow Golden Lotus, if there had been a solid chance to eliminate him, many in the Immortal Sect would have ordered or personally undertaken to kill ng Yu without hesitation.
The only reason they hadn't was the lack of opportunity.
Therefore, when ng Yu went to the Supre Star, many saw it as a once-in-a-lifeti opportunity, ready to delay signing any agreent and then take the opportunity to kill him.
Because he had risen too high, everyone was displeased by him and felt he was likely setting traps and the like.
This was why the three great Nascent Souls of the Wood Elent appeared together to protect ng Yu, even ready to fight if necessary.
But these moves did not intimidate the opponents; calm only returned after ng Yu displayed his skill in growing Golden Lotus.
You could kill ng Yu once, but what about next ti? Rember how he sought the Blood Sea Great Formation from the Blood God Sect?
A mountain of spirit stones lay before everyone, the quantity was just twenty-one million average spirit stones.
It was rely the accumulation of three hundred Golden Cores over twenty years.
It was only one-fifth of the value of the spirit stones ng Yu had seized this ti, because among them, there wasn't a single superior spirit stone or a dium-grade spirit stone!
The expressions of everyone present were not pleasant.
The capitalists had this calculation thod for Golden Core workers: fifty percent of the seized resources belonged to ng Yu, then seventy percent of the remaining fifty flowed into the total pool to be evenly distributed. The remaining thirty percent belonged to everyone, and there was still a tax of thirty-three percent to pay!
So tell , in normal circumstances, forget low-grade spirit stones, would you hand over any dium or superior spirit stones you seized or desperately use them within that year?
They would use them up themselves upon returning, and using them here is ninety percent cheaper!
If the company offered a charging station with a ten percent discount on electricity, then everyone would surely rush to buy electric cars, even driving their friends' and relatives' electric vehicles over!
By the way, everyone's eyes fell on a certain Nascent Soul; his initial calculations had been, despite ng Yu's nice words, that the total inco from spirit stones wouldn't exceed twenty million, but this ti, it had.
And, most absurdly, the dium-grade and superior-grade spirit stones, the ones most desired by Golden Cores and Nascent Souls, were missing!
You couldn't even bla ng Yu, because he truly didn't care about dium-grade or superior-grade spirit stones, as he could exchange ordinary spirit stones for dium or superior ones over there!
Now, the Immortal Sect can't get these dium-grade or superior-grade spirit stones, and it's all your own fault; should ng Yu be expected to collect the spoils of war from those Golden Cores?
The only ones happy at the scene were those in Qi Cultivation and Foundation Establishnt, for whom ordinary spirit stones were a great help.
As for the Golden Cores and Nascent Souls, each had a gloomy expression.
What's called a boorang? This is a boorang. The many conditions previously discussed between the Immortal Sect and ng Yu, all sorts of restrictions, led up to this point where the harsher ng Yu was restricted, the more painfully the boorang hit the Immortal Sect!
For example, the Moon God's two-year contract now seems a joke.
They feared ng Yu would leave people in the Western Wastes, while ng Yu... certainly didn't hope the Immortal Sect's Golden Cores would stay in the Western Wastes!
The Immortal Sect had spies inside, who stated that they really didn't want to return. It's very nice here, among weak natives on a land filled with spirit stones, where various precious plants and animals grow — the Immortal Sect does a great job cultivating spirit grass and spirit beasts with advanced techniques, but here many grow either on spirit stone veins or directly feed on spirit stones to grow!
How can artificially cultivated ginseng compare with wild ginseng?
Block after block of mory stones were quickly reviewed, ssages excerpted, and anonymous spies delicately suggested that it would be best if the situation could continue. They were willing to stay in the Western Wastes for ten or even thirty years, and the more truthful among them bashfully admitted they now looked down upon dium-grade spirit stones, routinely cultivating with superior ones. Who would want to go back?
Their words broke several Golden Cores.
Who wouldn't want to go? Even the Nascent Souls desired to cultivate daily with dium and superior grade spirit stones, what divine treatnt is this?
In the eting, many spoke, many directed, many remained silent.
Undercurrents surged.
…
The negotiator from the Foundation Establishnt, thinking back to that scene, smiled even more brightly, bringing up those big shots' requests.
"Expanding cooperation? Of course, that's entirely possible, I understand, but first, let's complete this cooperation, shall we?"
ng Yu said with a smiling expression, but a smile appeared on the corners of Zhuge Caihua's lips.
This guy was deceiving people again, but it felt really good.
"Mr. ng Yu, many people want to et you to discuss real cooperation. Could they co to Qingfeng Star?"
The Foundation Establishnt woman clearly rembered the heavy breathing of the people around her as they registered the war loot for customs, along with the responsibilities of various Nascent Souls, Divine Beasts, and their trusts when she arrived.
If ng Yu could not co to Supre Star, they could co!
But what could she say?
They should have spoken with Zhuge Caihua, but all these people had been rejected by Zhuge Caihua. The girl distinctly told everyone that her master, her martial uncle, and sect mbers were all in the Western Wastes, so while she appreciated their kindness, she would not influence any of ng Yu's decisions.
This ant they couldn't contact ng Yu!
"Thank you for coming to negotiate—here are so small ntos."
A Storage Bag fell into the girl's hands, and another Storage Bag fell into Zhuge Caihua's hands.
In the girl negotiating, the Storage Bag contained a hundred Spirit Stones, and in Zhuge Caihua's Storage Bag...
Jealousy filled the girl's heart; she could imagine how many good things were inside.
Now around Zhuge Caihua were about ten Golden Core Masters as guards, who willingly stood out for their junior. She could directly contact the three Nascent Souls of the Wood Elent, and the reason, apart from ng Yu, was that she could produce enough Middle-grade and Superior Spirit Stones.
Although everyone knew it involved smuggling, and it was ng Yu's black money, but...
Alas...
Bai Qianqian was confined by the Moon God, who was then cheerfully teased by a rabbit using Superior Spirit Stones. This scene broke several of the Immortal Sect's Divine Beasts and Divine Artifacts.
Compared to the Nascent Souls and Divinity Transformations of the Immortal Sect, they desired Superior Spirit Stones even more. The daily Spiritual Energy, Spirit Veins, and Low-grade Spirit Stones could only barely sustain them, but here was a rabbit flaunting Superior Spirit Stones around!
Yes, Bai Qianqian's Spirit Stones ca from an endless supply provided by ng Yu!
And the Magic Power of the Spirit Stones was eroding the foundation of the Immortal Sect.
...
With a stagger, ng Yu returned to the Western Wastes.
After staying in the cave dwelling for a day to balance the ti between the two places, ng Yu then called in the Golden Cores.
He had brought back six Storage Bags from the Immortal Sect, containing various weapons and equipnt. There are always losses on the battlefield. Prices for arms and equipnt were too high in the Western Wastes, and besides, they were not handy. It was better to bring so from the Immortal Sect. As for other items, like fourth-tier weapons, ng Yu had previously ntioned them, but the Immortal Sect had refused, fearing that ng Yu would cause trouble. This ti, however, the Immortal Sect had eagerly offered to supply them, but ng Yu made it clear that he didn't need them anymore.
So opportunities, once missed, are lost forever.
"Fourth-tier formation diagrams, weapons, those things I need to fetch from another planet, which is a bit dangerous. Moreover, this ti, so people at the Immortal Sect are jealous. They still want to expand their investnts, but I think that's enough."
The Heavenly Dao of the Western Wastes limited the Nascent Souls to so extent, so ng Yu wasn't worried about any Nascent Souls suddenly appearing and causing massive destruction. On the contrary, he was more concerned about so shaless elders of the Immortal Sect.
Like Mirror Twelve, who had sneakily blended into the fourth-tier formation diagrams and then ca over, he could end up causing havoc just like the Asian carp in North Arica.
"Do you all think the fourth-tier weapons are useful?"
"Not necessary."
The ten or so Golden Cores at the scene firmly responded.
If fourth-tier weapons and formation diagrams had co, would Divine Artifacts, Divine Beasts, and Nascent Souls be far behind? What high-paying opportunities would these hard-working people have then?
"So I refused. In the Western Wastes, there are no Nascent Souls. Those who want to ascend go to the Central Plains. As for the possibility of Nascent Souls causing trouble, I don't think anyone would be that foolish, would they?"
ng Yu's words made everyone nod.
Nascent Souls were formidable, but it was said that places with three hundred ... no, thirty Golden Cores would not co over.
"There will be no rotation, no additional manpower. I've agreed with everyone that only after pacifying the Sky-splitting Sword Sect is the task considered complete. In the anti, the contract is frozen—it's just us."
ng Yu's words made everyone breathe a sigh of relief. What worried them the most was their smooth employnt now, and then the shaless Nascent Souls of the Immortal Sect or more Golden Cores would co over.
However, everyone was still quite worried as they glanced more disconcertedly at ng Yu. Complete the task after pacifying Sky-splitting Sword Sect?
The days that followed were joyful. ng Yu continued to stay in the cave dwelling, leading a simple yet comfortable life.
His daily routine consisted of Sword Training, Qi Cultivation, and handling so affairs.
The battle reports from the front were very encouraging. Master Lihua led the team in cleaning up the small Sects around Sky-splitting Sword Sect, sending back a lot of war loot every few days. Other Sects in the Western Wastes were like startled birds, each silencing their disciples and frequently sending envoys to the Moon-Watching Sect, especially to express goodwill towards ng Yu.
Everyone fondly rembered the reasonable, gentle ng Yu and missed the weak and accommodating Bai Qianqian.
After all, the current ng Yu was too frightening.
When the envoys arrived at the gate of Moon-Watching Sect, the first thing they saw were heads.
Piled up like mountains.
