"This ten billion taels of gold is left to Qiong Country to build dikes, rebuild homes, etc. The Daoist School will supervise these projects, providing relief through work, allowing all disaster victims to earn money..."

Gao Xuan gave Celestial Fool detailed instructions, ensuring that this gold would be put to use.

The North Sea Dragon Palace is filled with countless golden jewelry; calling it a mountain of gold is no exaggeration. Gao Xuan left ten billion taels of gold to Celestial Fool, which, for a country like Qiong Country, is an astronomical amount of wealth.

Even heavenly wealth must be used properly.

Gao Xuan also knew this wealth couldn't escape being exploited layer by layer, and this was very normal.

Even modern social organizations running efficiently cannot avoid corruption, misuse of public authority. This is the real human nature.

Gao Xuan understood this truth early on; honest officials as clear as water and mirror, and extremely corrupt officials are both rare. To completely eradicate corruption unless everyone becomes robots.

Corruption is like crime, can only be controlled, not eradicated.

With the Daoist School supervising, this money will at least have some impact, positively helping disaster victims. That's enough.

Celestial Fool didn't care much about this wealth either, he was about to ascend, and though gold could refine into gold pulp, it was of little use to him.

Celestial Fool cared more about Gao Xuan, the strong man. He persistently tried to keep Gao Xuan, even offering to give Yu Jing Daoist School to him.

Gao Xuan had no interest in this. Daqiong Country was ten times larger than Wuyuan Country, yet it was meaningless to him.

Just talking about worldly wealth, the North Sea Dragon Palace wealth he held exceeded that of Qiong Country by thousands of times.

After all, the Dragon Race was powerful, occupying the resource-rich North Sea. Digging up a mountain of gold was nothing. This is something the Human Race countries could never compare to.

As for cultivation resources, Qiong Country was even more lacking.

The only thing worth mentioning is Qiong Country's large population, and stronger National Fate power. However, Gao Xuan was in no urgent need of this. There's no need to waste time on a little National Fate.

Seeing Gao Xuan determined to leave, Celestial Fool could only sincerely invite Gao Xuan to stay one more day, to allow him to show hospitality.

Not to mention their friendship, Gao Xuan solved the two big problems of food and money, essentially saving millions of people. This great kindness, he surely had to return somehow.

With such sincere warmth from Celestial Fool, Gao Xuan couldn't refuse.

Luckily Qiongjing is lively, and different from the customs of Great Wind Country. Gao Xuan played in Qiongjing with Ripples for two days, Ripples quite enjoyed it.

During this time, Celestial Fool went to see the Emperor of Daqiong Country and managed to take a pot of National Fate.

When bidding farewell to Gao Xuan, Celestial Fool gave this pot of National Fate to him.

Gao Xuan didn't decline, to him now, this was just a small gift, not worth refusing.

As Gao Xuan returned to the Celestial Master Temple with Ripples, National Preceptor Tao Jun rushed to pay respects.

This time when Gao Xuan traveled, Tao Jun was worried because he knew Gao Xuan must be going to take revenge on the Dragon Race.

During this period, Tao Jun was anxious day and night, afraid of Gao Xuan dying outside.

At that time, the Dragon Race surely wouldn't spare Wuyuan Country, he had to prepare in advance.

Seeing Gao Xuan return, Tao Jun secretly sighed with relief. Though not knowing the situation, he hurriedly ran to gather information.

Hearing the news of the North Sea Dragon King being killed, Tao Jun was also shocked, losing composure before Gao Xuan.

Tao Jun actually thought of many possibilities, but never this one. Gao Xuan was strong enough to kill the North Sea Dragon King!

It must be understood, the North Sea Dragon King had lived for seventy to eighty thousand years, and because of the Dragon Race's strong talent, they were hardly troubled by Thunder Tribulation. The Dragon Race's power couldn't be simply measured by overcoming a few Thunder Tribulations.

No matter what, Ao Beiyuan was one of the top strong men in Cyan Celestial Realm. And just like that, he died...

The North Sea territory thus lost its master, and the many river basins in the Northern Province also lost their common master. This would greatly affect the Northern Province, so much that Tao Jun could hardly envision.

For now, this is undoubtedly great news for Wuyuan Country.

Without the threat of the North Sea Dragon Race, Bai Cang River would naturally be controlled by Gao Xuan. So-called favorable weather conditions are just a simple matter.

But will this be the end of the matter?

Tao Jun did not dare to say. His three thousand years of life experience couldn't answer this question.

Moreover, the Buddhist Sect, many strong figures from the Northern Province Buddhist Sect were all wiped out. Will Buddhist sects from other provinces come to retaliate? It's hard to say.

Tao Jun loathed this uncertainty, living in fear every day. However, there are indeed various benefits being around Gao Xuan.

Even a casual pointer from Gao Xuan was a tremendous gain. Didn't you see Celestial Fool shamelessly follow Gao Xuan, all for learning skills from him?

Tao Jun thought about many things, but on his face was all admiration and respect, his words were varied in praising Gao Xuan.

When Tao Jun ran out of words, Gao Xuan finally smiled and said, "Here's two billion taels of gold, solve the disaster victims' problems well..."

"Uh... Ah... Ah..." 𝓯𝙧𝓮𝓮𝒘𝓮𝙗𝙣𝒐𝒗𝒆𝓵.𝓬𝓸𝒎

Tao Jun wasn't unfamiliar with gold, as a Spirit Immortal, gold to him could be seen as food.

However, the amount of two billion taels of gold still shocked Tao Jun.

Two billion taels is twenty million pounds... Even though gold is dense, twenty million pounds could indeed be piled into a small mountain!

Tao Jun was stunned for a moment before reacting, quickly bowing deeply: "Celestial Master's benevolence, Celestial Master's benevolence..."

"After all, it started because of me, it's necessary to solve this matter successfully."

Gao Xuan said: "This matter is rather complicated, I trouble you to put more effort into it. I need to retreat for a period. Should something arise, you can talk to Ripples."

"Disciple understands."
