NOVEL WEB Chapter 250: Someone Regrets
Immortal Sect 10008, now bustling with noise, everyone knows Meng Yu is back.
Fairy Taohua and Master Lihua's personal accounts, now seeing crazy increases in visitor numbers, those pictures and videos are wildly stimulating everyone like a poor person seeing a rich man burn mountains of cash.
In those pictures, mountains of Spirit Stones, all of them now belong to Meng Yu and the Golden Cores!
Many Golden Cores even plainly listed their earnings for a month, nothing grand—just double what an ordinary Golden Core would earn from a decade of life-risking frontline service.
Though everyone expressed that they didn't encounter the same kind of luck as the two masters, where one day equaled a year, their first day's harvest of Spirit Stones equals their normal accumulation of thirty or forty years.
"Meng Yu is truly generous, he handled all the early stages well, we only need to join the battle under suitable circumstances and we will make a fortune,"
"Glad I joined. However, sometimes I think, it really was enough to just bring a hundred people. If only a hundred came, then wouldn't I earn a hundred years' worth of Spirit Stones in one day? Someone anonymous who just slacked off commented."
"This side, easy money quickly come."
While watching the videos and pictures, everyone's eyes turned red with envy, and of course, Meng Yu then showed up.
"Hello everyone, just visiting, brought back lots of good stuff, just waiting for Immortal Sect to sign for it. As for the other Golden Cores' situations, they've also left Memory Stones etc., everyone please don't worry, there will be someone to distribute them in time."
At the same time, Meng Yu sent an extremely large red packet in the group.
"Boss is great."
"Boss is mighty."
"Boss rocks."
Messages flew one after another, and then, Meng Yu moved to the new forum of Immortal Sect 10008 to start uploading about recent events.
Those Golden Cores, being experts in writing and photo editing, had sorted everything neatly for Meng Yu.
No need to hide, no need to be secretive, just say it out, believing everyone would like it.
Envy them to death, let those who didn't go, those who had concerns, all the doubters regret it for a lifetime!
You don't think such opportunities come often, do you?
...
"Come here, sweety."
Bai Qianqian was playing with a little girl in a grand hall on the Supreme Star.
The doll-faced little girl, wearing a pristine white dress, emitted an aura of pure and clean beauty, full of spirit, while Bai Qianqian was also gentle and caring, the two of them having a great time.
Just like when she took care of Hua Miaochai, she had lots of patience.
The two were having a lot of fun, when Bai Qianqian received a call from Meng Yu.
The two talked nicely for a while about everything recent, and the little girl climbed into Bai Qianqian's lap, letting her stroke her hair.
Just like a cute little rabbit.
Well… Bai Qianqian was a very good nanny, having brought up Hua Miaochai from scratch, and had even been asked by good friends to take care of their children before. As for the little girl, she had an illustrious title, Moon God.
Grade Five Divine Artifact of the Immortal Sect, Moon God.
Her Divine Soul's incarnation was now playing in Bai Qianqian's arms.
In the call, the two talked cheerfully, exchanged information, and Meng Yu gave Bai Qianqian a numerical code.
On Qingfeng Star the two chose thousands of locations, then memorized the code for the addresses, the message sent was just a code.
Then, the lady of the house, Bai Qianqian, passed on this address to the Immortal Sect.
"Ah Yu has come back this time, placed his gains here, please send someone to take charge and afford him a receipt."
In the room, there was also a gentle-looking Nascent Soul, who smiled and nodded, instructing her subordinates to handle it.
"We are very happy that Meng Yu has returned, we have prepared a generous gift for him, you..."
"I don't know what Ah Yu is thinking— if he shows up, I would be happy, if he doesn't, there's nothing I can do, after all, I am just a rabbit stuck here. What do you think, Sister Moon God, if you let me go, he would show up,
Bai Qianqian smiled beautifully, but the little girl in front of her shook her head.
Just like Xiao Hei, who is currently steering the Penglai Vessel, Moon God had previously been owned by jade rabbit, unfortunately, generations of Immortal Sect's jade rabbits have withered away, and other Divine Beasts firmly refused to become Moon God's owner.
It's simple: Divine Beasts themselves don't have enough Spirit Stones, who can afford to sustain Moon God? More so, Moon God, being a service type Divine Artifact—an endless pit—is responsible for enforcing various laws, hence it often incurs various kinds of hatred and repulsion. No one cares if it performs well, but it gets a lot of flak when there's a problem.
More importantly, Moon God can grow close to you, but its special nature is completely bound by the laws and standards of the Immortal Sect; however nicely you treat her, she will follow the rules, declining release. If you dare escape, she dares kill directly—there have certainly been such incidents in history, which is also why the Immortal Sect is reassured in having Bai Qianqian watch over her.
"I have reported your request, if it is approved above, I'll release immediately."
She was a bit embarrassed, having offended countless people over millennia with these actions.
"That's how it should be, I love you most this way."
Bai Qianqian smiled, then took out a Superior Spirit Stone, swung it in front of Moon God's Divine Soul projection.
Do you want to eat it, do you want it?
I really like to see you happy.
I also very much want to be friends with you.
You are so pitiful, having been hungry for so long...
Do you want to eat?
Come on, smile a little.
Bai Qianqian remembered Meng Yu's words about the Moon God.
To befriend her, and Bai Qianqian also liked befriending the Moon God.
Although she didn't understand what Meng Yu wanted to do.
The Nascent Soul Cultivator beside her wanted to say something, but sighed instead. It wasn't that she thought Bai Qianqian could bribe the Moon God, but rather she felt it wasn't worth it.
The Moon God was happily combing Bai Qianqian's hair, yet drooling as she stared at the Spirit Stone in her hand.
The Moon God's drool was dripping continuously, and she too seemed quite envious.
It was a Superior Spirit Stone, and Bai Qianqian had quite a few more on her.
Moreover, there would be even more in the future.
Your journey continues with My Virtual Library Empire
...
The address left by Meng Yu was his current location. Soon after, a group of Golden Core Masters arrived, spoke the passphrase, then took away the Storage Bag and left six more in its place.
The Storage Bag was sealed, and the items inside had been thoroughly verified. Additionally, since this was Qingfeng Star, there would be no Grade Four or Five villains sneaking in feigning death to become real.
Then a Wooden Puppet went over, took out the items inside and after going through complex procedures, Meng Yu confirmed there were no issues with the items.
Though he was a bit overly cautious, the closer it got to the time, the more cautious one needed to be.
After the Golden Core Masters left, someone from the Immortal Sect called Meng Yu, saying we'd like to invite you for a meal, where would be convenient for you?
Then Meng Yu replied, no thank you, safety first. He was afraid of a sudden raid by the Blood God Sect or Guanghan Palace, so he preferred to stay inside the Great Formation. I'll wait for you one night, and tomorrow I'll leave. We won't go out, let your people, the highest Foundation Establishment cultivators, come to talk.
Then, Meng Yu continued to wait, and three hours later, Ge Caihua and another Foundation Establishment cultivator arrived.
The arrival of these two envoys delighted Meng Yu, and the gateway of the Great Formation opened wide; the two women walked in.
"Caihua, I'm sorry for all the hassle, it really is..."
Meng Yu felt a bit guilty, but Ge Caihua smiled very brightly.
"No hassle, no hassle, this deal will make the big bosses up there very happy."
She had been waiting on Qingfeng Star to coordinate with Meng Yu, and when the upper-ups received Meng Yu's Storage Bag and opened it, they were astonished.
The large quantity of Spirit Stones, seeds, precious resources, and more dazzled everyone's eyes. The huge number reassured many people, and a few Memory Stones pulled out at random also proved that Meng Yu did not lie—we are doing very well. The past Golden Cores from the Immortal Sect, some people taking certain Moon God contracts, you could defeat her, but not enslave her Divine Soul. If you forcibly broke through or turned her into a Puppet, she would die.
The cooperation with Meng Yu involved mutual caution, but now it seemed, everything was going well.
"You've worked hard."
Ge Caihua said with a smile, and the Foundation Establishment cultivator beside her, also with the warmest and most sincere expression, conveyed the Immortal Sect's regard for Meng Yu and their desire to further increase their investment.
She had observed the entire online meeting and saw the change in attitudes among the big shots.
When she arrived, those people expressed the wish to kindly show their friendly intentions to Meng Yu.
Regarding the Immortal Sect's involvement in the Western Wastes this time, Meng Yu was not enthusiastic, and clever people on the Immortal Sect's side keenly felt Meng Yu's pretentious attitude, thinking they could negotiate with Meng Yu or have other ideas.
Thus, the cooperation went smoothly, but not without difficulties, such as Meng Yu's earlier proposal of only two hundred Golden Cores but requesting a Grade Four Formation Diagram, which was declined.
However, as the oil well gushed, everyone suddenly thought, were we being too conservative?
For instance, Meng Yu had talked about a year ago, but stated that the actions in the Western Wastes would be finished in just a few months.
For instance, Meng Yu said we only have one real enemy in the Western Wastes, the Sky-splitting Sword Sect and so on; the other Three Great Sects could actually become friends with us—no more robbing and looting, it's not good.
For instance, Meng Yu was very welcoming of the Golden Cores' Moon God Contracts, mentioning two years was just right, good for you, good for me, good for everyone, but by then, some were already thinking, could there be people permanently stationed in the Western Wastes?
Upon seeing the first batch of returns, many in the Immortal Sect suddenly felt a bit of regret.
It seemed, perhaps, the Western Wastes were quite promising?
The big shots looked at the Spirit Stones while listening to Master Lihua's words.
"We didn't rush to attack the mountain gate of the Sky-splitting Sword Sect but instead sealed it off, destroyed the Teleportation Array, and swept the surrounding sects."
"The progress is very smooth, and the harvest is plentiful."
"The real attack will happen in three months, but no worries, by then we can return fully loaded."
