Chapter 680: Chapter 39: Open Scheme [Seeking Monthly Ticket!]_1

"Think about it, you’ve done deeds of demon-slaying and upholding justice worthy of a hero, and you want to announce it to the public immediately..."

Chu Liang said with a smile to the Nine Heavens and Ten Lands in the front row, and then turned his gaze to the back row.

"Think about it, you people, in the same circle as the prodigies of the Nine Heavens and Ten Lands, will be able to instantly see what they have said and done..."

"You have a young hero you admire, and you want to find out his whereabouts but do not know how to start..."

"You have a heroine you are fond of, you want to ask her out but do not know what she likes..."

"All of this can be realised within the Immortal Friends Circle." Chu Liang said in a tempting voice: "Our first batch of Immortal Friends Circle can include thousands of people, it will not be sold, but given as a gift to our friends in the Nine Heavens and Ten Lands. But today I brought a hundred tokens, my friends here, this is a gift for you!"

"For just a hundred Sword Coins, you can get a chance to enter the Immortal Friends Circle..."

"Opportunities will not wait for you, time will not come again, how many of you want to buy, raise your hands so I can see. If it exceeds a hundred, then we will start the auction!"

"..."

Under his charms, it seemed as if he had turned the auction into his home ground, everyone present was tempted and seemed to see the wonderful prospects of integrating into the circle of the Nine Heavens and Ten Lands.

"What Nine Heavens and Ten Lands..." Huyan Bin murmured: "When the time comes, we will resist his stuff together."

"It doesn’t make sense." Yang Yuhu shook his head, "Chu Liang has a wide circle of acquaintances, most of his friends are now the backbone of the Nine Heavens and Ten Lands, and he can always attract the support of most sects. If you resist blindly, you only isolate yourself from this circle."

"So should we just let him develop this thing?" Huyan Bin was not unaware of this, it’s just that he looked at it from a different perspective, "Once this thing becomes popular, it will be even harder for us to compete with Red Cotton Peak."

"What you should be doing is not thinking about how to do something the same as him... or even better than him, isn’t it?" Yang Yuhu said, "This kind of magic artifact that can carry thousands of messages, whoever holds it will have a huge advantage."

"..." Huyan Bin did not know how to respond.

Yes.

Why do I not do it?

Is it because I don’t want to?

The artifact for sending messages, is a Soul Territory Divine Power. The research of righteous Immortal Sects in this field is not as good as the Underworld King Sect. Perhaps because the Underworld King Sect is on the demonic path, they can be more reckless in experimentation, which is why they have made such progress.

Chu Liang and his team have directly benefited from the achievements of the Underworld King Sect, making some improvements, naturally leading the way.

As for how they obtained this thing, it’s a long story...

In short, Red Cotton Peak has many leading features, all of which can be used as soon as they get them. Things that require technical barriers can’t be made easily.

Yang Yuhu does not have such a strong sense of crisis. He fiddled with the token in his hand, which was vibrating ceaselessly, and smiled, "This thing is indeed interesting."

After a busy period, Chu Liang finally auctioned all one hundred Immortal Friends Circle tokens. There was almost no competition for the ones in the front, but when it came to the latter ones and the spots were running out, the competition became fierce. In the end, one hundred tokens were auctioned off for nearly thirty thousand Sword Coins, a very high price.

On average, it was over two hundred Sword Coins each, which was enough to buy a decent Flying Sword.

If Chu Liang had such a sword back then, he might not have been in such a hurry for money, and there might not have been a Red Cotton Peak today.

...

After Chu Liang returned to his seat, several people from the Nine Heavens Immortal Sect took the stage. The treasures they brought out were naturally not too shabby, but none were more expensive than Chu Liang’s tokens.

There’s no way around it. Not many sects can afford items worth tens of thousands of Spirit Stone Coins.

Now on stage was an elder from the Misty Mountain Immortal. He took out a small porcelain bottle on the lotus platform and mysteriously said, "This is a real item that can save the suffering people."

"Oh?" This statement instantly aroused the interest of everyone.

"A hundred years ago, an elder from my mountain entered Shenxu and brought back a bunch of assorted seeds." He said, "Most of them had lost their spirituality and died. A small part could still be planted and grew various strange spiritual roots. Only one of them, shaped like a rice seedling, produced fruits that did not contain spirituality, were large as a fist, sticky to the taste, and tasted awful."

"So the elders ignored the seed and threw it into the warehouse. But a short while ago, a disciple in our sect discovered that the seed had grown a small patch in the corner of the warehouse. The disciple tasted it and found that although it had no merits, it had one quality – it grew easily and was filling."

Upon hearing this, everyone present understood.

For the power of cultivators, they can counter any natural disaster and prevent too many common people from suffering. But the decrease in food production caused by a natural disaster is the most deadly. The biggest problem in the Nine States Land now is food shortage.

If this thing can grow easily and be filling, letting the victims survive for a year or two will gradually restore their past lives.

This is indeed a treasure that can truly save the people!

"Our Sect Leader named this ’Immortal Rice’, decided to mass-produce it. As we at Misty Mountain are far overseas, there are many inconveniences." The elder continued, "So whoever has the ambition in their sect can take this seed of Immortal Rice back."

A pot of grain seeds, starting price ten thousand Vermilion Bird Coins.

It doesn’t seem expensive considering it’s a benevolent gesture, equivalent to buying popularity rather than grain seeds.

Chu Liang immediately understood what Su Qian was here for.

Presumably, the Yu Dynasty had received advance notice and would not allow any sects to obtain this thing. It must be implemented and popularized by the Imperial Court itself.

Each sect present knew that it would be better for the Imperial Court to do such a thing, so they had no intention of bidding.

But Daoist Xuan Lu raised his hand: "A hundred thousand."

"Penglai..." Chu Liang turned his eyes.

He had indeed forgotten them.

If this item falls into the hands of Penglai, their relationship with Fuyao Country will be closer, and if Fuyao Country uses this to recruit refugees, their strength will surely expand rapidly. At that time, who knows how many people of the Yu Dynasty will cross the sea to migrate.

The Yu Dynasty will never allow such a thing to happen.

"Five hundred thousand!"

As expected, Prime Minister Su Qian raised his hand without hesitation.

"Seven hundred thousand." Daoist Xuan Lu raised his hand again.

"Eight hundred thousand!" Su Qian shouted again.

"..."

Both of them began to compete in raising the price without any thought.

Although the Imperial Court is large in size, it doesn’t take a considerable advantage in terms of Spirit Stone Coins. The wealth accumulated in recent years is all because the Sixth Princess managed the Immortal District well.

Wait a minute....

Chu Liang looked at Daoist Xuan Lu and seemed to suddenly understand something.

Even if Penglai’s relationship with the Yu Dynasty is average, they don’t need to go this far for Fuyao Country. His current bidding is not much different from the one he made with himself earlier.

He just wants to consume the power of Red Cotton Peak and the Immortal District, using things that the other party has to acquire to force them into a trap ...he must have had plans for a long time.

But the idea of charity auctions was notified by Yunque Temple only a few days ago. Although each family did not keep secret about the auction items, it is quite impressive to find out everywhere and instantly think of a strategy.

He is aiming to weaken the opponents for Taotie City.

After experiencing today, neither Red Cotton Peak nor the Immortal District would have enough funds to compete with Taotie City.

Moreover, neither of these two things can be given up. This is a blatant strategy.

The collusion between Penglai Upper Sect and Taotie City is deeper than expected!

Seeing Chu Liang’s suddenly enlightened eyes, Huyan Bin also showed a slight smile. All these years, events unfold before his eyes.

He could say that he was Chu Liang’s benefactor, but Chu Liang was his enemy. Although business matters cannot talk about grudges, it was inevitable for him to feel restless in his heart.

Taotie City has now become a vassal of Penglai, no different from Thunder Fortress. And all this is due to the rise of Red Cotton Peak and the Immortal District, forcing them into a desperate situation.

"Chu Liang..." He murmured softly, "Since you’re back, you might as well witness how the skyscraper you build will fall!"

...

Boom!

A giant tornado rose from the seafloor, blocking a colossal sea demon that was even larger than a mountain. A glossy, dark figure swiftly swept across the deep sea, fleeing through turbulent currents.

The eight-clawed sea demon quickly swung out a long tentacle. The man bent the sickle to block it, but due to the enormous gap, not only did he fail to sever the tentacle, but he was also smashed and sent flying instead.

Boom——

The man’s figure sunk into the seafloor, only showing a black face full of fatigue. Facing the formidable sea demon, he almost wanted to close his eyes.

But just then, a shout came from the other side, "Ah——"

It seemed like some tiny figure abruptly grabbed another tentacle of the eight-clawed sea demon and fiercely swung it around, stirring up half of the deep sea in an instant!

Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom——

After circling a couple of times, he finally flung the massive sea demon away, disappearing from sight in an instant.

"Du Wuhen, you’re really useless." The figure flew over from a distance and landed before him.

The figure that had been smashed into the seafloor was Du Wuhen, the senior disciple who had transferred from Thunder Fortress to Penglai. Previously, Daoist Xuan Lu said that he had let him enter a place to practice, and threw him into this Sea Demon.

This place is a deep trench at the junction of the two southeast seas, with immense pressure. Let alone human bodies, even ordinary demon beasts would be instantly crushed here.

But the spiritual energy here is extremely abundant, and with the high pressure, it is easy to permeate the physical body. Therefore, the demon beasts that survive here are generally very strong.

With Du Wuhen’s cultivation at the peak of The Sixth Realm, he experiences torture every day and has considerable difficulty surviving. Just now, he was exhausted and even had the desire to die.

The person who landed before him, who had terrifying brute strength, was a defiant-looking young man, who seemed to be seventeen or eighteen years old, with a wicked smile on his face.

"Qi Lin’er..." Du Wuhen pulled his body out from the seabed, "You’re actually here, too."

"Of course, I am. I have been living here for several years." Qi Lin’er said with a smile: "This is a good place, I love it. But I’m leaving soon."

"I heard..." He looked up at the floating light in the sky: "Chu Liang is back?"
