Chapter 631: Bringing Benefit To The Common People

At the start, the middle-aged Confucian’s face relaxed slightly. However, when he heard that last sentence he knew that Zong Shou might have seemed like he agreed but actually he was not planning to yield.

He had an unhappy look in his eyes. Just as he was about to speak up, he thought to himself, after all this is Gantian Mountain. The rise and fall of it had to do with Zong Shou, what did it concern him?

He scoffed and didn’t say a word, waving his sleeves and leaving.

The moment he left, the person covered in black energy laughed self-mockingly, “He is just like that, like everything in the world needs to follow his rules before it is considered the proper path. Since he knew that he couldn’t easily obtain Ruler’s Universe Book, why did he bother to come over if he was poor? He really thought just after a few words, he would follow his orders?”

Zong Shou smiled, he wasn’t interested in debating about others behind their backs. He took out the four Universe Book incomplete scrolls and placed it in front of his body.

“Let’s follow what we discussed just now. Each one of them is 1,000 Grade-9 Mind Stones. It is best if you have Mind Stones but if not, you can exchange using some great items.”

The eyes of the four people constricted. After they exchanged glances they didn’t say a word.

Although Zong Shou was cunning, he didn’t go too far. In the future, the Demon, Taoists, Buddhists and Sword Sects would just depend on their own skill.

To find the location of the book, they just needed a few pages, any more was just useless.

If today they all fell into the hands of one person, then the few of them would probably have to battle.

The person from the Sword Sect was the most straightforward, waving his hand and throwing out a small Heaven and Earth bag.

Following this, Wuji and the Demon Path Cultivator also paid mind stones. Zifang spoke in a really merciful manner, laughing awkwardly, “Our Buddhist Faction often donates and helps the commoners, so we don’t have much money and don’t have much need for Mind Stones. Today I only brought these 8 Buddhist Pearls, can it make up for those 1,000 Mind Stones?”

After he finished, several rays of light cast over.

Zong Shou’s brow furrowed, then his heart jumped. Who knows what the 8 Beige Buddhist Pearls in his hand were made of, they were like walnuts, weighing 5,000 kilograms.

Gathering Spiritual Energy in his eyes, he could see a five-colored glow shining.

Thinking back, Zong Shou had heard about this merit bead that the Buddhist Faction had. It gathered merit and good thoughts and was really precious.

It could suppress evil energy and violent thoughts, helping one cultivate.

In terms of value it was indeed comparable to the 1,000 Grade-9 Mind Stones. However, this item wasn’t of much use to him.

Right as he was about to reject, Zong Shou heard a swallow of saliva from beside him.

The baby Qilin’s nose twitched, his eyes brightly looking at his hands.

Zong Shou laughed. This fellow ate energy to grow and it seemed like it was interested in the ‘energy’ within the Merit Pearl and wanted to consume it.

He didn’t hesitate to keep them all into his sleeves. Then he waved his arms and the remains of the Universe Book floated to the four of them.

The deal had been completed. The few people in the clouds all seemed more relaxed.

However, they were still seated there with no intention to leave.

Zong Shou smiled. He had finally gotten rid of the hot potato. He had even extorted them by a huge amount which made him even more delighted.

With just these Mind Stones, he would be able to speed up time, condensing 300 years using the Book of Eon Extreme Life.

Next would be those two heads. It was time to see how much emphasis and importance the factions placed on Wuxuan and Xiao Xiangzi.

The air was totally silent. Seeing Zong Shou having no intentions to speak, Wuji said helplessly, “My Daoling Vast Habitat wants to exchange Xiao Xiangzi’s life for 5 Medium-Grade Mind Stone mines. Will Ruler accept this?”

Zong Shou exclaimed and looked over, only to see Wuji wave his hands and a scroll was tossed over.

Zong Shou took a look and saw that on it was marked the locations of those 5 mines.

This Daoling Vast Habitat really wanted to form a good relationship with him, their offer was really generous. 3 of them were newly formed, 1 of which was really close to High-Grade. This was such a huge gift...

Only their location made Zong Shou shocked.

“Huizhou Island?”

The Cloud World consisted of 5 continents and 12 islands. Out of the 5 continents, Donglin Cloud Continent was the 4th.

This Huizhou Island was one of the 12 islands. It was said that during the Cloud Desolate Era, it was called Huizhou which was how it got its name.

It wasn’t small, covering roughly 10 provinces of land. It was not far southwest of Donglin, roughly 14,000 miles away.

The fastest cloud ship would need 3 days and nights to get there.

Based on what he knew, this was one of the original camps of the Taoists. Although there weren’t any shrines nor Spiritual Houses, there were several Sects under Daoling Vast Habitat that established their mountains there.

What did Wuji mean by throwing the 5 unharvested veins there to him?

Although there was a suspicion that it was fake, the 5 veins taken out were born from

Heaven and Earth so temporarily they were all just fake.

However, it was the same as giving a small half of the profits of Huizhou Island to Gantian. It also gave him a chance to interfere with Huizhou Island.

He suddenly had a thought and recalled that spiritual river fissure that Great Shang wanted to hand over to him...

It was nearby Huizhou Island. Speaking of which, was Daoling Vast Habitat prepared to give that place up?

He looked over at Wuji with a curious gaze, only to see that he was really calm, unable to discern anything.

Thinking about it for a moment, Zong Shou kept the scroll into his sleeves. Anyway, he was going to take over that place so when the time came he would just take a look.

He always felt that there was a secret plot. Wuji’s actions made him feel that there was something unusual.

If it was far from Donglin then he could just not bother. However it was so close to the continent...

In comparison, the item that the Demon Path Cultivator took out was more practical. He threw a porcelain bottle over.

“I heard Ruler has reached the time to charge to the Spirit Realm. Our Ten Thousand Demon Vast Habitat shall use this item as a celebratory gift.”

Zong Shou reached in with his Spiritual Sense, his brow furrowing. If this item was given by anyone else, he would be delighted. However, since he was the one sending this, he was a bit worried.

“Is it a threat?”

He scoffed coldly, but he still took out the two heads and tossed them out.

These past few days he had the 2 bloody but not totally dead heads in his Heaven and Earth bag which was indeed a little disgusting.

All the trading was completed and thus the two of them stopped speaking. It was like they wanted to leave but they were worried about one another. They both sat still, with the intention to remain there.

Zong Shou was confused but coincidentally he had business to discuss with these few people. He smiled, “I have a matter. A few days ago my Gantian Mountain obtained some space ships. I want to use this as a base to conquer outer regions. Are the few of you willing to loan some money to Gantian? 30% yearly interest or you can invest in us. There are 3,000 shares, each share is 100 Mind Stones but they need to be Grade-9 Mind Stones. If you can lend some helpers, then I can treat that as shares too. As for the gains from the outer region, we will follow this share distribution...”

The moment he spoke these words, the few people in the clouds were startled. They were all speechless as they looked at the teen in front of them.

They didn’t expect that he would talk about this.

Conquer outer regions, was this guy crazy?

Since the Cloud World secluded itself and the human race was born, they had never heard of anyone conquering outer regions. This was truly a novel idea.

They all knew that the outer region was dangerous and if one was not careful the entire army would be wiped out.

However, his idea was good too, 3,000 shares, each costing 100 Grade-9 Mind Stones. Was he trying to bluff money from them?

If any accidents occurred, wouldn’t the money they gave be lost?

However, they could provide the loan. With Donglin Cloud Continent and Gantian Mountain as a guarantor, with their shrine strength they wouldn’t default on it.

30% a year... If the amount was huge, then the interest would also be a decent sum. No weaker than even 1-2 Huang-Grade High-Quality Veins.

The corner of Wuji’s lips twitched, thinking to himself that this fellow was really shameless.

30,000 Grade-9 Mind Stones wouldn’t even be enough to build 10 space ships.

Just as he was thinking about how much he should loan, the person from the Sword Sect smiled, “Interesting! There’s no harm trying. My Sword Sect will come out with 3,000 Grade-9 Mind Stones, 600 Grade-6 Disciples, 50 Grade-7. We want 20%...”

Zong Shou was startled and looked over in shock. He originally thought that he would be wasting his effort. Even if he convinced them it would at most be a loan. Who knew the Sword Sect person would be so straightforward.

Wuji was caught off guard, then for some reason, he changed what he was originally going to say, “My Daoling Vast Habitat is huge, but we don’t have many Mind Stones. We can only loan 3,000. We do have sufficient manpower so we will do the provide the same as the Sword Sect and we want 10%.”

After saying these words, he regretted and added a sentence, “However, I would need the Vast Habitat Head to agree first...”

Thinking about this, there were many people in the Vast Habit doing nothing. When he returned, he would send out all the people he found annoying to look at.

Moreover, with the problematic Huizhou Island, it was unknown whether or not Zong Shou’s outer region conquest would be successful.

The Demon Sect Cultivator had a weird expression, his eyes shining like he was hesitating. However, when he opened his mouth he said the same thing as Wuji.

“Our Demon Sect can loan 3,000. We do have more people, 15%!”

Zong Shou was delighted, turning to look at Zifang, only to see the old monk frowning.

He knew that the Buddhists were actually really rich but they split it with the other Buddhist Sects. The disciples all promoted merciful and kind values and at least on the surface they rejected killing.

“Great Monk, don’t you wish for the spiritual light of the Buddhist Sect to shine on the common people of other worlds?”

Zifang was startled, sighing as he said a few words from the Buddhist Mantra.
