Chapter 885: Debt Collection Must Be Generous
Wen Rui has already exercised great restraint and has not yet instructed Taoist Mosquito to pick out a few chickens among the immortals and kill them.

If an immortal encounters an accident, this group of stingy immortals who would rather sacrifice their lives than their money will definitely donate money enthusiastically, and they would like to run to the reconstruction site of the formation to do voluntary labor in order to speed up the construction progress.

But one cannot be too arrogant when being an immortal. As the saying goes, there is always a higher heaven beyond the heaven and there are immortals beyond the immortals. In the Tushita Palace outside the thirty-three heavens, there lives a saint.

Although Laojun plays a character as pure and elegant as a chrysanthemum, he will not necessarily get involved in the messy affairs of the heavenly court and politics.

It is better to be safe than sorry. This old man has been cheated of many elixirs by Wen Rui in recent years. Even a clay man has a earthy nature. If he exposes the mastermind behind Wen Rui's evil deeds at the critical moment when he is forced into a corner, it will be a bad ending.

Of course, Wen Rui has already drawn up a list of chicken immortals, most of whom are disciples of the Chan sect and old officials of the Great Zhou. If the Jade Emperor cannot get any benefits from the immortals even if he steps in, then don't blame Wen Rui for being ruthless.

Wen Rui is now in great need of fairy jade. The fertile soil needed to repair the Central Plains Basin in Nanzhanbuzhou has been fraudulently obtained from the Jade Emperor in the name of building a sky-protecting formation.

After I tested it after receiving it, I found that, just like many online advertisements in the real world, there was serious over-hype, and the real thing I got was a little different from the legend.

According to legend, the Jiutian Xirang can infinitely multiply into thousands of miles of fertile soil. However, after Wen Rui's actual measurement, it is indeed possible to create high-quality soil from the void, but the cost is the consumption of a large amount of immortal energy. The more immortal energy is input, the more soil will be multiplied.

When Dayu was controlling floods, he used Xirang to create earth out of thin air to build the river channel, but how much earth could be used to reinforce the river embankment?

The amount of spiritual energy consumed is very limited.

Wen Rui filled a super large basin with a radius of tens of thousands of miles and a depth of hundreds of meters. The amount of earth he used increased by tens of thousands of times, and it was not enough to empty the small treasury of fairy jade that he had embezzled over the years.

Although it was Wen Rui who had done the wrong thing by damaging the surface of the Southern Continent, Wen Rui did not want to pay for it out of his own pocket. He had already subdued Taoist Mosquito and saved the world, so why should he spend money again?

The savior heroes who are carrying heavy burdens forward are bleeding and crying, while the gods who are living a peaceful life are free and easy. If they are not allowed to bleed a little, Wen Rui, who always feels like a loss when he doesn't make any money, will feel extremely unbalanced.

"My fellow colleagues, in extraordinary times, we should all unite as one to weather the storm together. Fairy jade, fairy materials, magic treasures, and magic weapons are great, but they cannot be brought with you when you are born, and they cannot be taken with you when you die. Once you die, all will become nothing."

Feeling that the atmosphere was about right, Wen Rui started to add fuel to the fire and said, "The 300 million immortal jades allocated by your majesty are far from enough to rebuild the Heavenly Protection Array. I can only spend the money on the handle... oh no, on the blade... to focus on strengthening the Heavenly Protection Array of the High Heaven Palace, so that the demon will not have any more opportunities to take advantage of, and your majesty can sleep peacefully."

"But if Taoist Mosquito cannot enter the High Heaven Palace, I'm afraid he will have to look for another place and find another victim."

Having said that, out of the 300 million fairy jades, only a few hundred of them are actually used on the palace protection formation. They are mainly used for external decorative lighting effects, and the core functions can be replaced with technological creations that do not cost fairy jades.

As for whether this tofu dregs formation can defend against Taoist Mosquito?
Of course!
As long as Wen Rui gives the order, Taoist Mosquito will never come within a hundred steps of the Lingxiao Palace, and the Jade Emperor will no longer have to hold the Haotian Tower above his head every day to guard against assassins.

When the time comes, the Jade Emperor will have wasted his money, and he will have to praise the quality of the project supervised by Wen Rui, and the effect will be immediate. The implication of Wen Rui's words couldn't be more obvious, meaning that the Jade Emperor spent money to buy peace, and you guys who are so stingy should be careful, and you'd better keep your eyes open when you sleep at night, otherwise you will probably not see the sun tomorrow.

The gods were not fools and they all understood the threat in Wen Rui's words. The faces of the gods turned very ugly, and even the eight gods with extraordinary abilities and powerful magic powers looked solemn.

Among the eight main gods, only Wen Zhong Tianzun of the Thunder Department and Dou Mu Yuanjun of the Fighting Department sneered. Dou Mu Yuanjun even whispered, "It would be best if that evil creature came to the Fighting Department first to see if my sword is still effective. Then I can settle the score with him for killing Gui Ling's sister!"

But apart from these two super-powerful battle maniacs, the other six righteous gods, including Zhao Gongming, all felt deeply the heavy pressure of being targeted by an ancient demon god.

Originally Zhao Gongming was also very good at fighting, but after he lost the twenty-four Dinghai Pearls, his life-long magic weapon that could be used to build the foundation of Taoism, he was like a tiger with its claws and fangs pulled out, and his fighting power dropped sharply.

In addition, the divine authority he obtained from the title of deity is "money power", unlike Wen Zhong's thunder power, and its effect on fighting is almost zero. Facing the fatal sneak attack from Taoist Mosquito, he cannot say that he can be safe and sound.

The other eight righteous gods, such as Luo Xuan, Lü Yue, Yu Hualong, Yin Jiao, and Yang Ren, were only second-tier forces during the Conferred God Tribulation. The masters of some of them might not be the opponents of the Mosquito Taoist, and they had no power to fight back against him.

The one who felt the most pressure was Yang Ren. In terms of relationship with Wen Rui, he was the furthest away among the Eight Gods. If the other gods were attacked, as long as they could withstand the first round of assassinations, even if they were seriously injured and had their lives left, and asked Wen Rui for help, Wen Rui would rush to the rescue in time because of their past friendship.

Only he shouted at the top of his lungs, but Wen Rui ignored him.

Although Yang Ren had a pair of strange divine eyes in his palms, and was good at seeing through illusions and hidden things, it also depended on who he was. Ordinary methods of sleight of hand were ineffective against him. But that Taoist Mosquito not only had the best ability to hide, but also the fastest speed in the Three Realms. If he really had to fight against that demon, even if he could see him clearly, he would still have to watch him die if his body could not react in time.

Thinking of this, Yang Ren was the first to walk out of the immortal class. In full view of everyone, he took out a bag from his arms, came to the golden treasure chest, turned the bag upside down and shook it hard, and poured all the savings in the bag into the treasure chest.

"I am willing to share your worries, Your Majesty, and offer my entire fortune to build the Heavenly Protection Array!"

He took out the money happily and scattered it gracefully. When all the treasures and materials in his bag were gone, Yang Ren came to Wen Rui's special seat for the Heavenly Lord, bowed respectfully, and said sincerely, "To be honest, part of the annual maintenance fee of the Heavenly Guarding Array goes into my pocket, but I am not a greedy person. It's just that as an immortal in heaven, I can't help but be worldly. If I don't take it, the people below me won't dare to take it either, and I will lose the support of my subordinates."

"I have not squandered all the immortal jades I have accumulated over the years. I have put them all into the donation box, which can be considered as settling a bad debt."

"Please let me ask you, Little Heavenly Venerable, for your wise judgment. Can you please approve of what I have done?"

Wen Rui narrowed his eyes and just nodded slightly. Yang Ren felt as if he had been pardoned. All the burdens in his heart were gone. He seemed to be liberated and returned to the Tai Sui immortal team with brisk steps.
