Chapter 571 The Wealth of the Boundless Divine Cult: Amassing Treasures
"I gotta go!"
That day, Chu Yao reluctantly said goodbye.
Having been away from the sect for a hundred years, it would be bad if I didn't return to take charge and cause any trouble.
"So fast?"
Gu Qing was taken aback, and said with reluctance.
He still has many cosmic wonders that he hasn't taken the three of them to see!
Moreover, he traveled the world with three charming and beautiful young women, attending auctions, discussions, shopping guilds, cities, and traveling in spaceships, making friends with all kinds of races.
Along the way, he received countless envious and jealous glances, which made him feel very accomplished.
"Is that fast? A hundred years is enough time for an ordinary person to give birth to several generations, go through birth, aging, sickness and death."
Chu Yao rolled her eyes, her expression extremely charming.
"Also, Xi Ling and Xing Yue already have complaints, and your master, although she hasn't said anything, I can already feel that she wants to kill the three of us. If we continue like this, aren't you afraid they'll cause trouble?"
"That's true!" Gu Qing said, and led the three of them back.
"Senior brother, I need to go into the Boundless Space for a period of seclusion before I can attain enlightenment and transcendence." Su Qingyue hugged Gu Qingjin's slender waist tightly, her voice full of reluctance.
These past hundred years have been the happiest time of her life, and she truly wishes they could last forever.
"Okay! Junior sister, go ahead. Once you come out of seclusion, we'll have plenty of time to enjoy life and be carefree." Gu Qing patted her back.
"Mmm!" Su Qingyue hummed in agreement. With a thought, she entered the Boundless Space and began cultivating under the Innate Enlightenment Tea Tree.
"I also want to go into the Boundless Space for seclusion." Bai Suying's beautiful eyes were full of tenderness.
"Sure, I'll go." Gu Qing said indifferently.
Bai Suying: ...
"You little brat, are you looking for a beating? Did I say you were going into seclusion? Huh? I also want you to promise to take me to play around in the world and live a carefree life." Bai Suying was furious; Gu Qing always managed to easily provoke her temper.
She was supposed to be a gentle and dignified empress, but she was always forced to scold people.
"Hahaha, I knew you weren't a dignified empress. With such a bad temper, I'll banish you to the cold palace sooner or later."
Gu Qing couldn't help but tease her. Every time he saw the dignified and elegant Bai Suying get angry, he felt extremely happy.
Bai Suying got angry and, unable to win an argument, resorted to violence. However, in the midst of the fight, she unknowingly ended up in the room.
Finally, she sobbed and begged for mercy, then left crying.
Gu Qing scanned the boundless space with his divine sense, intending to bring Xi Ling Xing Yue out; he hadn't had enough fun yet.
Taking two vicious yet charming villains out for a wild time—just thinking about it is exciting.
However, upon seeing that the two had entered a deep seclusion and were making every effort to break through the bottleneck of the fourth level of the Immortal Emperor realm, Gu Qing immediately gave up his thoughts.
……
"Huh? What's wrong?"
Inside the Boundless Palace, Chu Yao was discussing the sect's future with everyone when she saw Gu Qing enter. A look of confusion appeared in her fox-like eyes.
In her eyes, Gu Qing, besides being a womanizer, was also someone who disliked trouble and preferred to be a hands-off manager.
He probably doesn't want to take in so many women, probably because he's afraid of the trouble.
"Meet the leader!"
Upon seeing Gu Qing, the women rose and bowed with excitement.
"No need for formalities, please continue. Just pretend I'm not here."
Gu Qing waved his hand and sat down next to Chu Yao.
Since I'm just killing time anyway, I might as well come here and listen to something.
"continue!"
Upon hearing this, Chu Yao said calmly.
"Yes, Deputy Leader."
With Gu Qing present, everyone reported on various situations with serious expressions and offered meticulous advice.
They plan to add another Starship, which is currently used for business operations.
After all, the eternal universe is so vast, with countless secret realms. Many of these realms were created by ancient gods, while others were naturally evolved from the rules of heaven and earth, containing countless opportunities and creations.
However, the distance is too far.
When a Celestial King travels, it often takes at least a thousand years.
The Starship can traverse the eternal universe in just six months.
Moreover, over the years, the Boundless Divine Cult has crafted 30,000 star cities, which are distributed in every corner of the universe.
As time passed, the news that the Boundless Divine Cult possessed a starship spread far and wide.
Powerful beings from all the heavens and myriad realms who wish to seek opportunities in secret realms will inevitably travel to Star City to board Starships.
However, the Starship can no longer support so many people cultivating at the same time.
"I think that's not a good idea. One flying boat is enough. As for not having enough for cultivation, we can just increase the cost."
Mo Ziyun said coldly, "They're just a bunch of ants. Being able to ride a starship is already a blessing they've accumulated over nine lifetimes, let alone entering the Star Realm and the Spirit Realm to cultivate."
The Starship has three realms: the Star Realm, the Spirit Realm, and the Profound Yellow Realm. You can enter the first two realms to cultivate by paying for rare and precious materials, but the Profound Yellow Realm is not open to the public.
Only disciples of this sect and disciples of the Reclusive Immortal Palace can enter the Xuanhuang Realm to cultivate.
"Isn't this bad?"
“The costs of the Star Realm and the Spirit Realm are already high enough,” You Kui said hesitantly.
To ride the Starship, one doesn't need to pay with Immortal Essence, but rather with Immortal Gold or divine objects.
As for entering the Star Realm or the Spirit Realm for cultivation, one must pay with Dao Fruits.
The exact amount depends on the duration of cultivation.
This fee is already shockingly high.
The Boundless Divine Sect harvests countless rare elixirs, immortal gold, divine objects, and Dao fruits every year, piling them up like mountains.
This is the largest source of income for the Boundless Divine Sect, which has already aroused the envy of all the Daoist traditions in the myriad realms.
After all, immortal gold, divine objects, and Dao fruits are all treasures that can only be encountered by chance and cannot be sought after.
The Boundless Divine Sect, on the other hand, only needs to make one trip to obtain countless treasures.
There are also 30,000 star cities, and one million catties of immortal essence must be paid upon entering a city.
Rental of commercial spaces, auction houses, trade fairs, and even cultivation caves, etc.
In short, each city brings in a massive amount of income for the Boundless Divine Cult every day.
The treasures of the Boundless Divine Sect are so numerous that they cannot be used up and are piled up like mountains.
Those immortal resources, piled up in storage rings, wouldn't even be wanted by disciples even if given away for free.
After all, the Starry Sky has innate spiritual energy, so why would it need to use immortal resources for cultivation?
It is worth mentioning that Starry Sky has many immortal source mines and various precious refining material mines, but none of them have been mined.
It has never been dug up from ancient times to the present.
After all, even rabbits don't eat the grass near their burrows.
The Star God Cult has always been prosperous and has no need to undermine its foundation.
"What's wrong with that? Since it's so crowded, it means our prices are too low. We should raise them appropriately." Mo Ziyun scoffed at these words.
This is just a pedantic old fogey.
You Kui was righteous and always stayed true to himself.
She respected You Kui's character, but disagreed with him.
"Let's do as Ziyun says!"
Chu Yao made the final decision.
Gu Qing forged a total of twenty-one Starships, which seemed like a lot, but it was simply not enough.
The sect should always have three ships on hand.
The disciples need at least ten ships to go on their training.
They also need to go on a training mission and take a ship with them.
The Starship used to carry passengers is naturally designed to be as economical as possible.
Since only the Boundless Divine Sect possesses the Starship, we can squeeze in and make a profit from the treasure.
Chu Yao hadn't raised the fees before simply because she wanted to first establish the reputation of the Starry Sky Flying Boat and Starry Sky City.
Now that they're famous, it's time to reap the rewards.
"All right!"
"Does the Star City still need to be refined?" You Kui asked.
Star City is not just a simple city; it is a treasure crafted by a Celestial King using many precious refining materials, including immortal gold and divine iron.
Every city in the stars is incredibly expensive.
They no longer need immortal resources, nor do they need low-level immortal medicines or elixirs.
"Continue, refine as much as you can."
Chu Yao replied without hesitation.
Star Cities are an extension of the Boundless Divine Cult's power. Each additional Star Cities enhances the Boundless Divine Cult's prestige and brings countless benefits.
It is by no means limited to immortal resources, immortal medicines, immortal pills, magical treasures, geniuses, etc.
The Starship can earn so many treasures in one trip, all thanks to Star City.
Moreover, while 30,000 star cities may sound like a lot, they are actually just a drop in the ocean when placed in every corner of the eternal universe.
Therefore, Star City must be forged.
As for the inexhaustible immortal resources, immortal medicines, immortal pills, and magical treasures...
Chu Yao has another purpose.
"Give all the things that are not needed to the Star Academy, increase their salaries and improve their various benefits. In addition, let them build more Star Academy."
After a pause, Chu Yao continued, "For every academy with 100,000 disciples established, a complete piece of immortal gold will be awarded. For a Star Academy with one million disciples, a Dao Fruit will be awarded for ten thousand years, and the students will be required to cultivate to the ninth level of the Starry Sky Technique!"
The reason for setting a deadline is mainly to prevent the Star God Cult from establishing too many sects, which would cause them financial pain when it comes to making payments.
Setting a deadline is just right.
There are definitely many people frantically recruiting students, and there are definitely many who don't meet the standards.
"..."
Upon hearing this, You Kui's face lit up with joy, but upon closer examination, he understood the sinister intention behind it. You Kui stared blankly at Chu Yao.
"Do you have a problem with that?" Chu Yao asked.
"No, I have no objection." You Kui's face twitched, and he quickly shook his head.
This is a great thing for the Boundless Divine Cult, how could he possibly have any objections?
Moreover, the Starry Sky Sect didn't lose out at all; in fact, they made a huge profit. After all, Chu Yao improved their treatment and planned to bestow all the unused immortal resources, immortal medicines, immortal pills, ores, and magic treasures upon the Starry Sky Sect.
It's just that I don't earn that much.
"The Vice Leader is wise!"
After carefully considering the pros and cons, everyone's faces lit up with joy.
It is conceivable that when the time comes, the number of successors of the Starry Sky Dao lineage will explode.
It's likely that Chu Yao has a next step in her plan.
Perhaps it won't be long before the Boundless Divine Cult is able to restore the prosperity of its ancient peak.
The more they thought about it, the happier they became.
First there was a leader like Gu Qing, who possessed both talent and strength, and then there was a deputy leader like Chu Yao, who had a broad vision and strategic thinking.
Under their leadership, it would be difficult for the Boundless Divine Cult not to become powerful.
……
Gu Qing remained silent throughout, but his divine sense was used to examine the foundation of the Boundless Divine Sect until the meeting ended.
Gu Qing exclaimed in amazement, "Senior sister is amazing! If I hadn't suddenly decided to come and listen to your discussion today, I would still be completely in the dark."
"Unbeknownst to us, the sect has grown so powerful and incredibly wealthy."
The Boundless God Cult is incredibly wealthy.
"what is this?"
Chu Yao, like a boneless lazy snake, wrapped her arms around his neck, her eyes full of seductive charm, and said softly, "I was just going with the flow. If you want to say something impressive, it's all thanks to you."
"Without the foundation you laid, making the sect full of powerful figures and possessing the Starship, a treasure for accumulating wealth, all my plans would be nothing but empty words."
As the saying goes, even a clever housewife can't cook without rice.
Without a powerful and boundless divine religion, even the best strategies will be in vain.
"Vampire!" Gu Qing pinched her fair cheek.
Chu Yao is definitely a capitalist from a fantasy world; she has a whole set of tricks up her sleeve.
From the moment Gu Qing saw Chu Yao, he knew that this vixen was cunning and treacherous, with first-rate money-making skills, second-rate seduction skills, and third-rate cultivation talent.
"Vampires? What kind of race is that?"
Chu Yao was confused.
She had seen vampire races before, who specialized in the Great Dao of Blood and were extremely powerful, considered among the top races in the entire universe.
But what does Gu Qing mean by calling her a vampire?
Gu Qing gave her a brief explanation and laughed, "You don't know if you're a vampire or a seductive enchantress."
Chu Yao is so good at flirting. Her face is charming and beautiful, her figure is voluptuous, and her flesh is all in the places she wants.
Her fox-like eyes were shimmering with moisture, captivating and mesmerizing.
Her voice is charming and soft, making it irresistible.
They are the complete opposites of Chu Ling'er.
Thinking of Chu Ling'er, Gu Qing's heart stirred, and he carried the little demon clinging to his body back to the Boundless Heavenly Palace.
Incidentally, the white-haired loli Chu Ling'er, who was cultivating in the Boundless Space, was also moved out.
"How can you not be happy!" Chu Yao gritted her teeth as she saw Ling'er, her slender hands twisting Gu Qing's arm hard.
"Don't talk nonsense. I called Ling'er here mainly because her cultivation level is too low. I want to pass on my knowledge to Ling'er."
Gu Qing spoke in a serious tone, then beckoned to Ling'er, whose face was flushed, "Ling'er, come here, brother will show you some fun things to do."
……
Gu Qing walked briskly into the Garden of Ten Thousand Flowers and instructed his disciples to prepare some rare and precious delicacies.
Come to think of it, he hasn't really tasted the delicacies cooked by celestial chefs or spirit chefs.
The delicious delicacies we ate were all thanks to Xian'er and Yan'er.
Although Gu Qing is not a person who craves food, she will not refuse if there is food available.
Soon, Shu Yue and Mo Ziyun arrived with the celestial treasures and wine.
Shu Yue arranged dozens of dishes one by one, and Mo Ziyun poured wine.
"Need not!"
Gu Qing quickly stopped Mo Ziyun. He had a high alcohol tolerance but didn't like drinking.
In his previous life, he never drank alcohol unless absolutely necessary.
He had never drunk it since arriving in the fantasy world.
"what?"
"Master, this is divine wine brewed by the Immortal Emperor and the God of Wine. It's extremely rare. Are you really not going to drink it?"
Mo Ziyun looked at her master in surprise.
The divine wine brewed by the god of wine can help people comprehend the Dao, elevate their souls, and strengthen their bodies; it is something even the Immortal Emperor craves.
If the Boundless Divine Cult weren't so influential, the God of Wine wouldn't have specially sent over ten jars.
They only drank one jar, and although they were tempted by the remaining nine jars, they saved them to offer to Gu Qing.
"Don't drink!"
Gu Qing shook his head and smiled, "Sit down, everyone, and join me in tasting this divine delicacy. Good food tastes better with more people."
"Alright!" The two felt a little sad that they couldn't share the wine.
"Master, this is Kunpeng's liver. The immortal chef cooked it with thousands of kinds of immortal herbs. It's delicious. You should try it."
Mo Ziyun placed a piece of food on Gu Qing's plate. This food had been prepared long ago and was intended for Xian'er, but they couldn't get any even if they wanted to.
