Catastrophic Necromancer TL

Chapter 3332: Conforming to the Great Dao is Also a Business

Not being easy doesn't mean no one can obtain them.

Lin Moyu believed that some people would still be able to get Goldenwater Stones.

Some people relied on strength, while others would rely on luck.

If it was as he guessed, the Lu Feng Chamber of Commerce must have a deeper level of agreement with the Goldenwater Beasts.

As for why the Lu Feng Chamber of Commerce did this, in Lin Moyu's view it was actually quite simple.

It was nothing but profit.

Goldenwater Stones were certainly precious, but Goldenwater Essence was even more precious.

However, this item had always been monopolized by the Lu Feng Chamber of Commerce.

Not just monopolized, it was almost exclusively for their own use, rarely appearing on the market.

If others wanted Goldenwater Essence, they had to use a large amount of Goldenwater Stones to fuse and refine it. Tens of thousands of catties of Goldenwater Stones could only refine ten catties of Goldenwater Essence.

Some things can't withstand analysis. As long as you think carefully, you can get the result.

The Lu Feng Chamber of Commerce wasn't a charity. Their purpose for existing, besides making money, was to develop and grow stronger.

As for those who died here, they truly died for wealth. Their Dao hearts weren't firm, their destiny was insufficient. They deserved to die.

Sure enough, before long more Goldenwater Stones were discovered.

The Hurricane Warship's route seemed predetermined. It was bound to discover Goldenwater Stones, which weren't as rare as people said.

Points of golden light appeared, each representing a Goldenwater Stone. The size of the light also represented the size of the Goldenwater Stone.

As the Hurricane Warship approached, finally some people couldn't resist and left the ship to take Goldenwater Stones.

They were all prepared, with magical treasures ready to conceal their auras.

Lin Moyu used his Undead Eye to look and saw soul flames ready to erupt near the Goldenwater Stones in the Boundary Sea below.

However, not every Goldenwater Stone had soul flames nearby, meaning some Goldenwater Stones were safe.

Lin Moyu said softly, "Most of these people will die!"

Little Mei knew Lin Moyu wouldn't speak carelessly. If he said so, there must be a reason.

Sure enough, when someone collected a Goldenwater Stone, Goldenwater Beasts below the Boundary Sea suddenly attacked. That third-level Dao Venerable cultivator only put up a token resistance before being devoured by the Goldenwater Beasts.

The same thing happened in several other places.

Normally, they should have immediately retreated.

But the temptation of Goldenwater Stones was too great. Even seeing others die, they were still willing to take the risk.

Everyone thought they wouldn't be the ones to die.

Screams rang out one after another as people kept dying, vividly illustrating the saying "people die for wealth".

Some people relied on their strength to forcefully break through and escape.

Others were lucky, with no Goldenwater Beasts near their Goldenwater Stones, allowing them to successfully escape back.

Whichever way, as long as they could escape back to the Hurricane Warship, the Goldenwater Beasts wouldn't pursue.

Moreover, the bodies of those killed remained relatively intact, falling directly into the Boundary Sea and disappearing after death.

This further verified Lin Moyu's guess that the Goldenwater Beast clan must have an agreement with the Lu Feng Chamber of Commerce.

Both sides were putting on a big show.

Little Mei watched with slightly furrowed brows, "Is doing this really good?"

Lin Moyu smiled and said, "Whether it's good or not, let her tell you."

A knock sounded at the door, and Lu Feng Yao walked in briskly.

As soon as she sat down, Lin Moyu spoke, "Sister Feng Yao, Little Mei is asking if what you're doing is really good?"

Lu Feng Yao looked at Little Mei, then at Lin Moyu. After sitting down and drinking a cup of tea, she finally spoke, "You've guessed it all?"

Lin Moyu nodded, "Mm, guessed about 80-90% of it."

Lu Feng Yao said, "I knew I couldn't hide it from you. I came over this time to tell you not to go take Goldenwater Stones."

"As for them, everyone has their own fate. The Three Ancestors won't force them to go, but also won't stop them from going."

"The value of Goldenwater Stones is there for all to see. Even without us, many people would die for Goldenwater Stones every year."

"We've now made an agreement with the Goldenwater Beast clan. They've agreed to try not to kill people who come over normally."

"Actually, the number of people dying each year hasn't increased much, and we can also obtain Goldenwater Essence. It's a win-win situation, so why not do it?"

Lin Moyu asked, "Is it that simple?"

Lu Feng Yao said, "More or less. Of course, normally there will be far fewer Goldenwater Stones appearing, making it harder to obtain them. Only when our warships pass by will large amounts of Goldenwater Stones appear."

Lin Moyu understood somewhat and softened his tone, "Under the premise that the number of deaths hasn't changed, the amount of Goldenwater Stones has actually increased, and the Lu Feng Chamber of Commerce can also obtain Goldenwater Essence. So what's the benefit for the Goldenwater Beasts?"

Lu Feng Yao smiled and said, "There are naturally benefits. If it were someone else asking, I wouldn't say. But since it's you asking, little brother, I'll tell you."

"The Goldenwater Beast clan needs to hold a sacrifice every hundred years. I'm not clear on exactly what they sacrifice, but they need a large number of living beings for the sacrifice."

"Normally, the bodies of those they kill are preserved for use in the sacrifice."

"If there aren't enough bodies for the sacrifice, they would rush to the mainland to kill some people. If that's not enough, they would also look for some living beings in the Boundary Sea to sacrifice. So strictly speaking, more people died then than now."

"Many years ago, we made a contract with the Goldenwater Beast clan. Every time our warships pass by, we let people collect Goldenwater Stones, but only allow them to kill half. This reduces casualties, and those who die are destined to die."

"Little brother Lin, if you believe in fate, you'll know that some people's fates are already determined. If they don't die now, they'll die later."

"If they can escape here alive, it means their fate didn't let them die."

Lin Moyu asked, "Then what if there aren't enough people for the sacrifice?"

Lu Feng Yao said, "If there aren't enough people for the sacrifice, we'll naturally supplement them. So many people die on the Origin Continent every year, there's no shortage of bodies."

"That time you went to the Eastern Continent, when the Eastern Spirit Empire launched the beast tide, tens of billions of people died. We collected some of those bodies, enough for several sacrifices by the Goldenwater Beasts."

After finishing, Lu Feng Yao looked at Little Mei, "Little Mei, is there anything you still don't understand?"

Little Mei shook her head, "Little Mei understands everything now."

Lin Moyu smiled and said, "Looking at it this way, the Three Ancestors have actually done a good deed."

Lu Feng Yao said, "The Three Ancestors have said before that they never consider themselves good people, but they're not bad people either. They're businesspeople. Conforming to the Great Dao is also a business."

The Three Ancestors' business mindset had long since penetrated their souls.

Lin Moyu even suspected if there was a Great Dao called the Business Dao.

As they chatted, the Hurricane Warship had already entered deep into Goldenwater Beast territory. More and more Goldenwater Stones appeared in view.

People kept flying out of the warship, wanting to obtain Goldenwater Stones.

Half of them died outside the warship, while others successfully obtained Goldenwater Stones and returned.

Some people even wanted to get a second one after obtaining one.

But their luck wasn't so good the second time, and they didn't come back.

Sometimes, greed is the original sin.

Those who succeeded were full of joy. No one sympathized with those who failed.

Watching these scenes unfold, Lin Moyu felt neither joy nor sorrow. Everything was already destined by fate.

Suddenly, he looked up into the distance, his whole body abruptly standing up.

A terrifyingly huge sword appeared in the sky, slicing through the Boundary Sea, splitting heaven and earth. Countless Goldenwater Beasts died under the sword light.
