You dare to cultivate without money?!
Chapter 1355 - 844: Dao Contest, Ten Thousand Laws Immortal Emperor
"But what’s going on up there? How could something like this happen and no one comes down to stop it?"
"Could it be that the Ten Great Sects are still bickering among themselves about who should be the first to contribute people and money to fix it?"
...
Deep within the Spirit Realm.
Xie Lanyin looked respectfully at the Kurong Child in front of him, waiting for the meaning brought by the White Bone Living Body Heavenly Monarch.
The Kurong Child nodded to Xie Lanyin and said, "You performed well this time, not hiding anything recklessly. The Heavenly Monarch is very satisfied, knowing that you are still loyal to him and to the White Bone Sect."
Xie Lanyin hurriedly bowed and said, "Thank you, Lord Ku Rong, for delivering the message."
Xie Lanyin: [100,000 Immortal Coins transferred]
Your transfer has been accepted.
The Kurong Child smiled and continued, "The Heavenly Monarch is already aware of the situation, and from now on, just stay here and remotely supervise the work at the Old Graveyard."
"As for the matter of space collapse, you need not bother with it."
Xie Lanyin’s gaze intensified and he said, "With Zhang Yu’s cultivation, I’m afraid he won’t be able to save the Old Graveyard. If the entire Small Realm collapses, I’m afraid..."
The Kurong Child waved his hand dismissively, "If it can’t be saved, then don’t save it."
Xie Lanyin’s gaze intensified once more, and he said, "But the time is so tight, I’m afraid there are still many cultivators and much equipment that won’t have time to evacuate. This will severely impact the soul cultivation industry..."
The Kurong Child said, "One person’s death is just a number. If ten thousand, a hundred thousand die at once, isn’t that a hundred million top-quality raw materials?"
Xie Lanyin’s heart stirred. If in ordinary times they recruited and purchased soul cultivators, it might cost a lot of money, but now with the natural disaster descending and the limited capacity of the Space Gate, many people, to save their lives, could only become soul cultivators and evacuate through the Spirit Realm.
The Kurong Child continued, "I’ve already discussed with the Netherworld, the Heavenly Demon factions, and the Heavenly Court."
"At that time, we’ll purchase uniformly at the lowest price... convert them all into soul cultivators and take them away."
Xie Lanyin said, "Save them and even have to pay them? Shouldn’t they pay a fee?"
The Kurong Child said seriously, "We’re not the ancient Demon Path; this is a normal acquisition, not a robbery."
Then he explained, "These people, because of such an extraordinary natural disaster, are forced to die, not selling their lives because they’ve hit rock bottom. Their first death experience is outstanding, and the quality after becoming soul cultivators will certainly be better than before. If they maintain Immortal Dao Potential, they will definitely create higher benefits in the future."
Xie Lanyin nodded repeatedly upon hearing this, while secretly thinking, "Then this soul cultivation performance... is unlikely to decline, but rather improve in the coming period."
The Kurong Child continued, "I’ve calculated that the number of soul cultivators created at once is sufficient to offset the losses of a production halt for a while."
Xie Lanyin slightly nodded, understanding that as long as there wasn’t a deficit and they could still distribute profits, Monarch Bai’s authority and assets wouldn’t be affected, and they could still aim for the Ascension selection.
Thinking of this, Xie Lanyin couldn’t help but admire, "Solving two dilemmas with death and retreat, truly a masterstroke of governance."
"However, what about those Artifact Spirit Sect folks? Are we just going to let them off lightly and let Zhang Yu take the fall?"
Thinking of Lu Hengzhang, Xie Lanyin couldn’t help but say, "Isn’t this just like squatting to eat shit?"
Although Xie Lanyin also disliked Zhang Yu, she clearly disliked Lu Hengzhang, who dragged him into this destructive, submerged area, even more.
The Kurong Child sneered, "Of course, it won’t be that simple. The Inheritance struggle has reached a critical moment."
The Kurong Child’s gaze traversed the Spirit Realm, seemingly seeing the countless beings in the Old Graveyard.
"This disaster can be considered a sacrifice. They want chaos? Then let’s let it be chaos beyond measure."
"Once the entire Old Graveyard is sacrificed, it will be time for settling scores."
"By then, we’ll squeeze out this Kunxu ulcer of the Artifact Spirit Dao Inheritance."
...
"Heartless, truly heartless."
In the Spirit Realm Cave Mansion, Bu Yingshu’s father, Bu Yuan Gui, a Level 10 Sect Affairs Officer of the Ten Thousand Laws Immortal Clan and an Ascension Realm cultivator, sighed, "At its peak, the Old Graveyard’s annual output value alone reached over a hundred billion. No matter how they evacuate, the remaining assets are invaluable, just to be burned like that."
Beside him, Bu Yingshu asked incredulously, "Father, do you mean that the top... is going to abandon the Old Graveyard?"
Bu Yuan Gui explained, "In the Old Graveyard, our Wanfa Sect doesn’t have much industry, so why bother saving it?"
"Even if we exhaust ourselves saving it, wouldn’t it just benefit other sects?"
"If the Old Graveyard is completely gone, then there will need to be a New Graveyard, and when the soul cultivation industry completely reorganizes, it will be our Wanfa Sect’s prime opportunity to take charge."
Bu Yingshu nodded thoughtfully, but suddenly thought of Zhang Yu again and quickly asked, "What about Zhang Yu?"
Bu Yuan Gui replied calmly, "He’s the holder of the Ying Ni legacy and responsible for the development area’s spatial structure. With such a major problem, he naturally has to take responsibility."
Bu Yingshu frowned deeply at these words and said, "How can this be? Father, can’t you save him? Get him out of this?"
Bu Yuan Gui almost laughed in exasperation, "Dear daughter, we are in Kunxu, not in the Bu family. With at least a hundred billion Immortal Coins lost, you want me to help him? Shall I bear it for him?"
Bu Yingshu frowned, but quickly calculated the account in her mind.
"Zhang Yu helped me continue enhancing my talent. If I take over the Ten Thousand Laws Immortal Clan in the future, wouldn’t I earn back more than a hundred billion?"
Bu Yingshu confidently said, "Then let it be. Father, I will pay you back later."
Bu Yuan Gui truly laughed in amusement this time, "Get lost."
Bu Yingshu said, "Isn’t it just over a hundred billion Immortal Coins? Your daughter has now awakened her astonishing talents, will be afraid to earn that much in the future? I’ll pay you back threefold then!"
