Chapter 157 Yunxiao Immortal Sect's attitude is a little strange
After agreeing on the price, Master Zi Yang went back and arranged for his disciples to transport the 100 million spirit stones for the down payment to the Jin Ling.
Wen Rui would not let his clients do such miscellaneous work, mainly because he did not want the disciples of Zi Yang Xian Zong to board the Jin Ling to spy on the situation, so he quickly sent the Ultron Legion to take over the transportation work.
Zi Yang disciples only need to move the spirit stones outside the mountain gate, and the metal puppets will take over and transport them away.
Boxes of spiritual stones were transported into the cargo hold of the Golden Spirit, gradually filling up the empty warehouse. Li Moxian stood aside and couldn't help but sigh, "I haven't seen so many spiritual stones in many years... No wonder the Virgin Mary said you were good at handling things. If you didn't bring this big ship over, so many spiritual stones would not be transported away."
At this point, she smiled bitterly and shook her head, saying, "In the years before the Conferred Gods, when the sisters of Lishan saw a rich mine of spiritual stones passing by, they were too bothered to pick them up. The weather at that time was so rich in spiritual energy that the spiritual energy absorbed by eating wind and drinking dew was more than that absorbed by spiritual stones. Who would have thought that after hundreds of years, this thing would become so important."
"Sister, times have changed." Wen Rui said, "Before the Conferred God Ceremony, everyone thought that spiritual energy was inexhaustible. After the Conferred God Ceremony, it was like a valve was turned off. Judging from the current reduction rate, there will be no spiritual energy left in the mortal world within three thousand years. I seriously suspect that it was intercepted by the Heavenly Court, but unfortunately there is no evidence."
"Can the spiritual energy be revived?"
"It's hard to say. Everything is possible in the universe...but..."
"But what?"
"Before the spiritual energy recovers, species that rely on spiritual energy for survival will face mass extinction." Wen Rui said meaningfully: "For example, the mermaids that are distributed all over the world."
Li Moshen's eyes suddenly widened and she turned to look at Wen Rui.
"I heard that the mermaids have a hard life under the rule of the dragon clan." Wen Rui said to himself, "They have to pay tribute to the Dragon King with a large number of mermaid pearls. These mermaid pearls are made from the hard work of the mermaids. Every year, in order to collect the tribute quota of mermaid pearls, I don't know how many mermaid women cry their eyes out and die of tears."
Li Moshen lowered her head and remained silent.
"Now there are some strange rumors among mortals, saying that eating mermaid flesh can make people immortal. As a result, the coastal peoples actually hunt mermaids for food..."
"By the way, are mermen considered humans or monsters?"
"Shut up!" Li Moxian couldn't help it anymore and started to scold.
Wen Rui quietly pricked a thorn in Li Moxian's heart, and he tactfully shut his mouth.
He had actually studied the question of whether mermaids were humans or monsters a long time ago, and the answer was no.
Like the Wu clan, the mermaids are a remnant of an ancient clan, one of the templates that Nuwa used as a reference when creating humans. Like the Xuanyuan clan with a snake head and a human body, the Bai clan who are suspected to be silicon-based, the immortal people who are born with eternal life, the Wuqi clan who can be resurrected, and the Three-headed clan with three heads, they are all aliens.
Wen Rui actually has alien blood. He is a descendant of the Three-Eyed Tribe, but his blood is thin, and the vertical eye between his eyebrows has never awakened.
The doctrine of Jiejiao is diversity. The future of Jiejiao that he planned is not just about the coexistence of humans and demons, but about the great unity of intelligent creatures. All the aliens will be brought under the teachings of Jiejiao, giving them a glimmer of hope and allowing them to stand tall among the nations thousands of years later.
The mermaids are a good target to be won over, but to make friends with them, one has to stand against the dragons who currently rule the world.
The Dragon Clan is now in full swing, with countless immortals in the clan, and many true immortals and golden immortals stranded in the mortal world. Behind them stands the support of Huanglong Zhenren, one of the Twelve Golden Immortals of the Orthodox School, and there are no less than a million shrimp soldiers and crab generals under their command, which is really a bit scary.
However, Wen Rui was not afraid. More than a thousand years later, Sun Wukong could bully the Four Dragon Kings. No matter how bad he was, he would not be worse than a monkey.
After the spirit stones were delivered, Wen Rui received a list from a metal puppet and went to find Master Zi Yang.
"Brother, I'm not saying anything bad about you, but you really should investigate carefully. There are bad people among your sect's disciples!"
While complaining, Wen Rui handed over the list: "I won't say anything about the poor quality of the spirit stones and the many impurities, but why are you using magic stones to make up the numbers? Are you colluding with the demons of the earth realm? You took their magic stones but had no place to spend them, so you came to me to launder money?"
Wen Rui, who had cheated Gu Changfeng with fake plastic spirit stones, naturally understood the importance of inspecting the goods. He scanned all the spirit stones before they were put into storage. The results were very clear and many fake goods that were passed off as genuine products were caught.
When Master Zi Yang saw the list, he was furious. This was really not his intention. The disciples below were a mixed bunch. Maybe some of the elders who were in charge of the spirit stone warehouse were trying to profit from it. They were hoping to make a fortune from this large amount of spirit stone delivery.
"This bunch of unfilial descendants, I must severely punish them, all these magic stones will be taken back and destroyed, and I will exchange them for spirit stones for you!" Zi Yang Zhenren's hands were shaking with anger as he held the list, and he said hatefully, "When I find out who is behind this, I will definitely punish them according to the sect rules." "Don't worry, it's not that I can't take the magic stones, I really have the skills to launder money." Wen Rui quickly interjected, "But the exchange rate is six to one, six magic stones for one spirit stone, you order someone to check the warehouse and collect all the magic stones, and I will exchange them for spirit stones for you."
There is no business that is more profitable than finance. Wen Rui's spirit stone purification factory possesses the unique technology in the Three Realms that can purify magic stones into spirit stones, and is calculating when to monetize this technology.
"You can purify the magic stone?" Zi Yang Zhenren was amazed. "I have spent my true essence to purify the magic stone, and it is exhausting. The evil thoughts and evil thoughts contained in the magic stone are the most destructive to the heart of Tao. If you are not careful, you may even be infected by the evil spirit and go astray."
"You, the Chan Sect, don't have a method to purify the magic stone?" Wen Rui began to flatter Master Tongtian again: "No wonder Master Tongtian, a saint, was able to beat the four saints. The difference between the saints is really not a little bit. The secret method passed down by the ancestor of my sect has no taboos and is the most basic rules of heaven. What kind of ability is it to purify a magic stone..."
Master Zi Yang felt nauseous after hearing this, and waved his hand, saying, "Stop chanting. I know you are very good at teaching me. That's enough, isn't it?"
After the two sides completed the transaction, Wen Rui controlled the Jinling to slowly land and steadily inserted Qingfeng Mountain back into the big hole left after it was pulled out. However, after all, it had been moved, and the restored mountain was a little crooked...
Ordinary people with dull five senses may not be able to detect it, but for immortals like Master Zi Yang, this subtle slope is enough to drive people with obsessive-compulsive disorder crazy.
At his repeated requests, Wen Rui tried to control the traction beam and moved it a few more times, but it either tilted a little to the left or a little to the right. It was basically impossible to go back to the way it was before.
"Nothing is perfect in the world. I hope Brother Ziyang will let go of his obsession. How about we just leave it like this..." After several failures, Wen Rui could only spread his hands and comfort him: "I'm afraid the mountain won't be able to bear it if I move it again. If it breaks or cracks, you can't blame me. How about you sign a disclaimer first, and I'll slowly adjust it for you."
However, Master Zi Yang did not dare to sign the agreement to allow this harmful person to continue moving the mountain, for fear that he might not hold back and really collapse Qingfeng Mountain. So he could only give up with endless regrets.
Wen Rui had no intention of promoting him from the beginning, and insisted on leaving a small regret that made him feel uncomfortable all day long. Every time he thought of it, he would be reminded of the lesson of not being greedy for small gains and suffering big losses. He should be quick when paying the bill to Jin Ling Sect in the future!
One day in the future, Lord Daode will come out of seclusion to inspect Zi Yang Immortal Sect. True Man Zi Yang will definitely be anxious. In order to cover up his mistake, he will have to find a way to find Wen Rui, and then ask him for a fee to move the mountain.
The Jinling set off again and flew to the next debt collection location - Yunxiao Cave in Taihua Mountain.
Yunxiao Cave in Taihua Mountain is the dojo of Chi Jingzi, one of the Twelve Golden Immortals. Chi Jingzi was betrayed by his own disciple Yin Hong and had no intention of accepting any more disciples. However, thinking that the Taoist tradition needed someone to inherit it, he reluctantly founded his own sect.
However, this immortal from the orthodox school recruited disciples and left behind inheritance just to get by, and did not take it seriously.
After Chi Jingzi founded the sect and passed down the Taoist tradition, he disappeared somewhere unknown, so that over the past few hundred years, the majority of disciples in the Yunxiao Immortal Sect are female.
I don't know if it was because he was betrayed so badly by his beloved male disciple Yin Hong, and was beaten up by his own disciples, and after being beaten up, he was criticized by the disciples of the Chan sect, "Teacher Chi, you are too weak", which caused him psychological trauma.
A sect that is not cared for by its founder will naturally lack confidence. There are mostly female disciples in the Yunxiao Immortal Sect, making it even more difficult to manage. Because of this, it is the weakest among the six major Xianjiao Immortal Sects.
However, having more female disciples also has its advantages, that is, they can increase the influence of the sect through marriage with other sects and mediate between the sects of the Chan school.
Wen Rui's giant warship, the Jinling, appeared in front of Mount Taihua. The reaction of the Yunxiao Immortal Sect was completely different from that of the Ziyang Immortal Sect. The mountain gate was opened grandly to welcome the guests, and Wen Rui and his young secretary He Lingyun were politely welcomed into the Qingyun Pavilion of the Yunxiao Cave. The sect leader, Fairy Han Yuan, received them personally, and the Mahayana elder Qing Lanzi accompanied them.
Obviously, this female fairy already knew the fate of Zi Yang Immortal Sect, and she also knew that the giant ship outside could easily handle a sect's disciples below the immortal level, and there was also a Lishan Sword Fairy on board.
Appropriate display of muscles can indeed make those who don't know what's good for them more polite.
The settlement of accounts went smoothly, and Wen Rui's proposal of equal principal and interest repayment was immediately accepted. The Yunxiao Immortal Sect itself did not owe much debt, only 200 million spirit stones, and the two parties agreed on an annual repayment amount of 20 million, to be repaid in ten years.
"Brother Wen, I heard that your giant flying boat is being sold at a discount. I wonder how much it costs?"
After finishing the business, Fairy Han Yuan smiled and turned the topic to the flying boat.
Wen Rui immediately became excited and hurriedly tried to sell it: "Fairy sister, I'm afraid you have never seen such a big flying boat, right? This is the only giant ship in the Three Realms. If it weren't for some problems with the recent operation, I would not be willing to sell it. Based on our many years of friendship, I will give you a friendship price of 1 billion spirit stones."
Fairy Hanyuan's expression changed slightly, but she remained calm. She clapped her hands, and a beautiful and charming female monk walked into the attic.
"Let's not talk about the flying boat for now. This is my disciple Xuan Ming'er..."
