NOVEL NEXT WORLD Chapter 356 The Path to the Pill of Completion
In the embassy of Ceres, everyone gathered together.
Having traversed hundreds of light years from the Immortal Sect to work deep within the territory of the Blood God Sect, the cultivators of the Immortal Sect often had their hardships, whether for economic reasons, attracted by the compensation, or for the sake of promotion, but today, no matter what worries anyone had, everyone's tails were up in joy.
In the delegation of Panda Huahua, nearly a third were from the Beast Clan, and in the embassy, there were also quite a few of their kin.
Meng Yu was known for his loyalty. When previously purchasing magic artifacts and weapons from the Blood God Sect, he hadn't forgotten about everyone in the embassy and delegation, allotting them a large share.
At that time, Nascent Soul Huahua decided on the spot that, of course, they wanted to be part of such a good deal.
As for abusing power for personal gain... sorry, but weren't we doing business with Cao Xiaojun?
So, today the rewards had come back.
"Everyone, please check the amount."
Meng Yu returned to Ceres, and in addition to telling Xia Hailu to help with the money distribution, he had Fairy Taohua bring the spirit stones to meet the members of the delegation.
Meng Yu was domineering, settling accounts with spirit stones.
Not far away, Fairy Taohua's eyes were smiling, her happiness overflowing. As one of the five flowers of the Immortal Sect, becoming Meng Yu's person, she openly displayed her stance.
It was like a company going from a startup to an IPO; Meng Yu's career had reached its final stage. At this point, what could be wrong with soaring into the heavens on the wings of a mighty Kunpeng?
On the other side of the vast sea of stars, the people from the Immortal Sect might be hopping mad. What power had enabled someone to leap from hundreds of light years away to this place?
How envious they must be, he had such capability.
"Why are all of them medium-grade and superior spirit stones?"
True Monarch Panda looked at the five superior spirit stones and thirty medium-grade spirit stones laid out on the table, the corners of his mouth twitching involuntarily.
Previously, the Immortal Sect embassy had lent Meng Yu dozens of magical treasures and weapons, with Meng Yu guaranteeing to return them in three months with double the profit.
They didn't have so many spirit stones or magical treasures, but with Panda Huahua's face to consider, they borrowed various magic artifacts from locals and handed them over to Meng Yu. This action, akin to borrowing money for stock speculation, was risky, but even the most conservative members within the embassy were eager to register.
Because this was Meng Yu giving everyone money.
But... but...
"Isn't this good?"
Fairy Taohua said smilingly, addressing True Monarch Panda.
The higher the grade of the spirit stones, the rarer and more valuable they were. Panda Huahua recalled the hardships of his own cultivation, the indignity he faced when sponging for spiritual energy at White Bear's place, and the scene when his grandfather worked hard all his life, leaving behind a superior spirit stone only to be fought over by uncles.
But now, laid out on the table were five superior spirit stones and thirty medium-grade spirit stones!
Why not give ordinary spirit stones? Why allocate superior and medium-grade spirit stones to me?
Why tempt me like this?
Finally, he despairingly turned his head away.
"...You guys handle the distribution, but don't leave out my share."
He could no longer watch... If he did, he might truly abuse his authority for personal gain...
With a wave of his hand, he enclosed himself and Fairy Taohua in a separate space.
"Speak, I am of the Immortal Sect, a bear... It's impossible for you to buy me, unless... the spirit stones are sufficient!"
In the end, he succumbed.
Although Meng Yu was at the Foundation Establishment and Fairy Taohua was at Golden Core.
"Are you saying you want me to help oversee the purchase of three sets of Grade Four formation diagrams?"
The black and white Nascent Soul Bear was slightly surprised.
The last time Meng Yu made purchases from the Immortal Sect, it was a large amount of spirit rice, spiritual wine, and some low-order array plates, but he didn't take any formation diagrams or weapons prepared by the Immortal Sect for six hundred Golden Cores. Even though the Immortal Sect admitted their past misunderstandings and suggested starting over to rebuild trust, Meng Yu declined to take any items.
He had borrowed some weapons from the Blood God Sect to fill the gap.
Why?
When the world heard that Mirror Twelve had achieved Divinity Transformation, and when the Immortal Sect realized that there were still great secrets hidden within Meng Yu's affairs, those third-grade magical treasures and weapons were without a doubt infused with some divine sense, information, or even commands.
Ancient armies knew to mix troops from different regions, and Meng Yu also guarded against the Immortal Sect. What if they sent information to six hundred Golden Cores to do something Meng Yu didn't wish to do?
Even weapons obtained from the Blood God Sect couldn't be entirely trusted, but they had been processed in some way, and the Immortal Sect didn't have time to react or send people with items.
The black and white bear wanted to say something, but in the end, he closed his mouth.
Meng Yu's reasoning couldn't be refuted—if someone were to mess up, how would Meng Yu respond?
"Now they are at war, getting ready to attack the Eternal Night Palace, but for the sake of security, we still need a large amount of equipment, especially Grade Four formation diagrams."
Formation diagrams varied in type: personal, cooperative for a few people, and those for large battles.
The cost of different diagrams varied immensely, with the last variety being very pricey, consuming resources that could be used to nurture two or three Nascent Souls—smuggling them out of question. If one needed to buy, they had to do so through legitimate channels.
"What do you mean by having me keep an eye out?"
"Trouble you, True Monarch, to oversee and ensure no divine sense or residual spirits are present. I will pay six superior spirit stones as compensation. At that time, Ah Yu will come out from Baihua Community, and I will trouble True Monarch to help protect her."
