571: The wealth of the Wuliang Divine Religion

"I'm leaving!"

That day, Chu Yao, her Face full of reluctance, proposed her farewell.

Having been away from the Sect for a hundred years, if she didn't return to preside over the overall situation, it would be bad if something went wrong.

"So fast?"

Gu Qing was startled, his Face full of reluctance.

He still had many Universe wonders he hadn't taken the three of them to experience yet!

Moreover, traveling the world with three beautiful and peerless young women, attending auctions, Dao discussions, shopping at merchant associations and cities, riding Universe flying boats, and making friends with all the races of the Heavens.

Along the way, he didn't know how many envious, jealous, and hateful gazes he received, which made him feel extremely accomplished.

"Still fast? A hundred years is enough for a Mortal to give birth to several generations, to be born, grow old, get sick, and die."

Chu Yao rolled her eyes, her expression extremely charming.

"Also, Xi Ling and Xing Yue already have opinions, and your Revered Master, though she hasn't said anything, I already feel she wants to 'knife' the three of us. If we keep playing, aren't you afraid they'll make a fuss?"

"You're right!" Gu Qing heard this and took the three of them back.

"Senior Brother, I'm going to enter the Boundless Space for a period of Cultivation, then prove the Dao and transcend again." Su Qingyue hugged Gu Qing's slender waist tightly, her voice full of reluctance.

These past hundred years were her happiest time, and she truly wished it could last forever.

"Mm! Junior Sister, go. When you come out of Cultivation, we'll have all the time in the world to roam the human realm and live freely." Gu Qing patted her jade-like back.

"Mm-hm!" Su Qingyue hummed, and with a thought, entered the Boundless Space to Cultivate under the Innate Enlightenment Tea Tree.

"I also want to enter the Boundless Space for Cultivation." Bai Suying's beautiful eyes were full of tenderness.

"Go if you want to go." Gu Qing didn't mind.

Bai Suying: ..."You little rascal, are you asking for a beating? Did I say I was going for Cultivation? Huh? I also want your promise to take me to roam the human realm and live freely." Bai Suying was furious. Gu Qing always easily provoked her temper.

She was a gentle and dignified empress, yet she was always forced to scold people.

"Hahahaha, I knew you weren't a dignified empress with such a big temper. Sooner or later, I'll demote you to the cold palace."

Gu Qing couldn't help but tease her. Every time he saw the dignified and elegant Bai Suying exasperated, he felt incredibly pleased.

Bai Suying was enraged. If she couldn't win with words, she'd resort to physical blows, but as they fought, they unknowingly ended up in the room.

Finally, she whimpered for mercy, crying as she left.

Gu Qing swept his Divine Thought across the Boundless Space, intending to bring Xi Ling and Xing Yue out; he hadn't had enough fun yet.

Just thinking about taking two vicious yet charming villains out to play made him excited.

However, when he saw that both of them had entered deep Cultivation and were fully pushing to break through the Immortal Emperor Fourth Stage Bottleneck, Gu Qing immediately gave up on the idea... "Eh? What's wrong with you?"

In the Boundless Palace, Chu Yao was discussing the Sect's major affairs with everyone. Seeing Gu Qing enter, a look of confusion appeared in her fox-like eyes.

In her eyes, besides being lustful, Gu Qing was also someone who disliked trouble and preferred to be a hands-off boss.

He probably didn't want to take on so many women because he feared the trouble.

"Greetings, Cult Revered Master!"

Seeing Gu Qing, the women rose excitedly and bowed.

"No need for formalities, you all continue, just pretend I'm not here."

Gu Qing waved his hand and sat beside Chu Yao.

Anyway, he was idle, so listening in was fine.

"Continue!"

Hearing this, Chu Yao said indifferently.

"Yes, Vice Cult Revered Master."

With Gu Qing present, everyone reported various situations with serious expressions and meticulously offered suggestions.

They planned to add another Star Flying Boat for commercial operations.

After all, the Eternal Universe is so vast, with countless Secret Realms. Many Secret Realms were created by ancient great gods, and many others naturally evolved from the rules of Heaven and Earth, containing countless Opportunities and good fortune.

However, the distances were too great.

For an Immortal King to travel, it would take at least a thousand years.

But a Star Flying Boat could traverse the entire Eternal Universe in just half a year.

And in these years, the Boundless Divine Cult had refined thirty thousand Star Cities, distributed across various corners of the Universe.

As time passed, the news of the Boundless Divine Cult's Star Flying Boats spread completely.

Powerful individuals from all the Heavens and Myriad Realms, who wished to seek Opportunities in Secret Realms, would definitely go to the Star Cities to board a Star Flying Boat.

However, the Star Flying Boats could no longer accommodate so many people Cultivating simultaneously.

"I don't think that's right. One flying boat is enough. As for not being enough for Cultivation, just increase the fees."

Mo Ziyun said coldly, "They are just a bunch of ants. Being able to ride a Star Flying Boat is already their good fortune accumulated over nine lifetimes, let alone entering the Star Realm and Spirit Realm to Cultivate?"

The Star Flying Boats have a Star Realm, a Spirit Realm, and a Xuanhuang Realm. For the first two, one can enter to Cultivate after paying with Heaven And Earth Treasure. The Xuanhuang Realm, however, is not open to outsiders.

Only the Disciples of this Cult and the Disciples of the Hidden World Immortal Palace can enter the Xuanhuang Realm to Cultivate.

"Isn't that bad?"

"The fees for the Star Realm and Spirit Realm are already high enough." You Kui hesitated.

To ride a Star Flying Boat, one pays not with Immortal Origin, but with Immortal Gold or Divine Objects.

As for entering the Star Realm or Spirit Realm to Cultivate, one must pay with Dao Fruits.

The exact amount depends on the Cultivation time.

These fees were already frighteningly high.

The Boundless Divine Cult harvested an unknown amount of rare Immortal Medicine, Immortal Gold, Divine Objects, and Dao Fruits every year, piled up like mountains.

This was the Boundless Divine Cult's largest source of income, already making the Dao lineages of all the Heavens and Myriad Realms envious.

After all, Immortal Gold, Divine Objects, and Dao Fruits are all treasures that are hard to come by.

And the Boundless Divine Cult, with just one trip, obtained countless treasures.

There were also thirty thousand Star Cities, and entering a city required a fee of one million catties of Immortal Origin.

Renting out shop locations, auction houses, trade fairs, renting Cultivation Immortal Caves, and so on.

In short, every city brought a massive amount of income to the Boundless Divine Cult every day.

The treasures of the Boundless Divine Cult were already so numerous that they couldn't be used up, piled up like mountains.

Those Immortal Origins, piled in storage rings, no one even wanted them if given to Disciples for free.

After all, Star Heaven has Innate Spiritual Qi, so why would one need Immortal Origin for Cultivation?

It's worth mentioning that Star Heaven has numerous Immortal Origin mineral veins and various precious Artifact Refining Materials mineral veins, but none of them have been mined.

From ancient times until now, they have never been mined.

After all, a rabbit doesn't eat the grass around its burrow.

The Star Divine Cult has always been prosperous and simply didn't need to dig up its Foundation.

"What's wrong with that? If it's overcrowded, it means our fees are too low. We should appropriately raise our fee standards." Mo Ziyun scoffed at his words.

This was just a pedantic old fogey.

You Kui was righteous and always adhered to his original intentions.

She respected You Kui's character but disagreed with his views.

"Just do as Ziyun says!"

Chu Yao made the final decision.

Gu Qing had refined a total of twenty-one Star Flying Boats, which seemed like a lot, but it was simply not enough.

The Sect needed to keep three on standby.

Disciples going out for training required at least ten.

And when they themselves went out for training, they also took one.

The Star Flying Boats used for passenger transport should naturally be conserved as much as possible.

Anyway, only the Boundless Divine Cult possessed Star Flying Boats, so by squeezing people in, they could earn treasures.

Previously, Chu Yao hadn't raised the fees because she just wanted to make the Star Flying Boats and Star Cities famous.

Now that they were well-known, it was time to harvest.

"Alright!"

"Then do we still need to continue refining Star Cities?" You Kui asked.

Star Cities were not simple cities, but treasures refined by Immortal Kings using numerous precious Artifact Refining Materials, Immortal Gold, and Divine Iron.

Every Star City was astronomically expensive.

And they no longer needed Immortal Origin, nor low-grade Immortal Medicine, Immortal Pills, etc.

"Continue, refine as many as there are."

Chu Yao replied without hesitation.

Star Cities were an extension of the Boundless Divine Cult's power. Each additional Star City would enhance the Boundless Divine Cult's prestige and bring countless benefits to the Boundless Divine Cult.

Not limited to Immortal Origin, Immortal Medicine, Immortal Pills, Magic Treasures, Genius, etc.

The Star Flying Boats earning so many treasures on a single trip was thanks to the Star Cities.

Moreover, thirty thousand Star Cities, while sounding like a lot, were actually like a drop in the ocean when placed in various corners of the Eternal Universe.

Therefore, Star Cities absolutely had to be refined.

As for the unused Immortal Origin, Immortal Medicine, Immortal Pills, and Magic Treasures.

Chu Yao had other uses for them.

"All those unused items shall be bestowed upon the Star Academy, increasing their stipends and improving various benefits. Additionally, let them establish more Star Academies."

After a pause, Chu Yao continued, "For every academy with a hundred thousand Disciples established, a complete piece of Immortal Gold will be rewarded. For a Star Academy with a million Disciples, a Dao Fruit will be rewarded for a period of ten thousand years, and it will be required that the students Cultivate to the ninth stage of the Star Art!"

The reason for setting a deadline was mainly to prevent those in the Star Divine Cult from building too many, which would make them feel pain when paying.

Setting a deadline was just right.

There would definitely be many people frantically recruiting students, and also many who wouldn't meet the standards.

"..."

Hearing this, You Kui's Face lit up with joy, but upon closer thought, he understood the insidious intention behind it. You Kui stared blankly at Chu Yao.

"Do you have an opinion?" Chu Yao asked.

"No, I have no opinion." You Kui's facial muscles twitched, and he quickly shook his head.

This was a great thing that benefited the Boundless Divine Cult, how could he have an opinion?

Moreover, the Star Divine Cult also didn't lose out; one could say they gained a lot. After all, Chu Yao had raised their benefits and intended to bestow all unused Immortal Origin, Immortal Medicine, Immortal Pills, Ore, Magic Treasures, etc., upon the Star Divine Cult.

It's just that they wouldn't earn as much.

"Vice Cult Revered Master is brilliant!"

Everyone carefully considered the pros and cons, and their Faces lit up with joy.

One could imagine that once the ten-thousand-year period arrived, the inheritors of the Star Dao lineage would experience explosive growth.

It was estimated that Chu Yao still had a next step in her plan.

Perhaps it wouldn't be long before the Boundless Divine Cult could restore the prosperity of its ancient Peak period.

The more everyone thought about it, the more delighted they became.

First, there was a Cult Revered Master like Gu Qing, who possessed both talent and strength, and then there was a Vice Cult Revered Master like Chu Yao, who had great foresight.

Under their leadership, it would be difficult for the Boundless Divine Cult not to become powerful... Gu Qing remained silent throughout, but his Divine Thought was checking the Boundless Divine Cult's heritage. After the meeting ended.

Gu Qing exclaimed, "Senior Sister is amazing! If I hadn't had a sudden whim to come and listen to Senior Sister's discussion today, I would still be in the dark."

"Unbeknownst to me, the Sect has already become so powerful and immeasurably wealthy."

The Boundless Divine Cult was truly too rich.

"What's this?"

Chu Yao, like a boneless lazy snake, wrapped her arms around his neck, her eyes like silk, and said softly, "I merely went with the flow. If anyone is amazing, it's your credit."

"Without the Foundation you laid, making the Sect full of powerful individuals, and giving the Sect the treasure-gathering Star Flying Boats, all my plans would be nothing but fleeting clouds."

As the saying goes, a clever housewife cannot cook without rice.

Without a powerful Boundless Divine Cult, even the best strategies would be useless.

"Vampire!" Gu Qing pinched her fair and tender cheek.

Chu Yao was absolutely a capitalist in a Xuanhuan world version, with a full set of schemes.

From the moment Gu Qing first saw Chu Yao, he knew this enchantress was cunning and sly, with first-rate money-making skills, second-rate seduction skills, and third-rate Cultivation talent.

"Vampire? What kind of race is that?"

Chu Yao listened, confused.

She had seen vampire races, who primarily Cultivated the Dao of Blood, and were very powerful. In all the Heavens and Myriad Realms, they were considered a top-tier powerful race.

But what did Gu Qing mean by calling her a vampire?

Gu Qing briefly explained it to her and laughed, "You're not just a vampire, but also a soul-hooking enchantress."

Chu Yao was too good at seduction. Her Face was charming and alluring, her figure curvaceous, with flesh intelligently growing where it was desired.

Her pair of fox-like eyes shimmered with water, captivating souls.

Her voice was even more delicate and soft, making one unable to resist.

She was simply the extreme opposite of Chu Ling'er.

Thinking of Chu Ling'er, Gu Qing's heart stirred. He carried the little enchantress clinging to him back to the Boundless Heavenly Palace.

He also moved the white-haired loli Chu Ling'er, who was Cultivating in the Boundless Space, out.

"How can you not be utterly delighted!" Chu Yao saw Ling'er, secretly gritting her teeth, and twisted Gu Qing's arm fiercely with her slender jade hand.

"Don't talk nonsense. I called Ling'er here mainly because her Cultivation is too low, and I want to impart the Dao to her."

Gu Qing said seriously, then waved at the blushing Ling'er, "Ling'er, come here, big brother will take you to play something fun."

...Gu Qing walked briskly to the Myriad Flower Garden, instructing Disciples to prepare some immortal delicacies.

Speaking of which, he hadn't really eaten much of the exquisite food cooked by immortal chefs and spirit chefs.

The immortal delicacies he had eaten were thanks to Xian'er and Yan'er.

Although Gu Qing wasn't a person of carnal desires, if there was food, he wouldn't refuse it.

Soon, Shuyue and Mo Ziyun arrived with immortal delicacies and immortal wine.

Shuyue meticulously arranged dozens of dishes, and Mo Ziyun poured the wine.

"No need!"

Gu Qing quickly stopped Mo Ziyun. He had a good alcohol tolerance, but he didn't like drinking.

In his previous life, he would never drink unless absolutely necessary.

Since coming to the Xuanhuan world, he hadn't had a single drink.

"Ah?"

"Revered Master, this is divine wine brewed by the Immortal Emperor God of Wine, a single drop is hard to come by. Revered Master, are you really not drinking?"

Mo Ziyun looked at her Revered Master in surprise.

The divine wine brewed by the God of Wine could help one comprehend the Dao, sublimate the Divine Soul, and strengthen the physique, something even Immortal Emperors craved.

If not for the Boundless Divine Cult's great Face, the God of Wine wouldn't have specifically sent ten jars over.

They had only drunk one jar; although they coveted the remaining nine, they had saved them, preparing to offer them to Gu Qing for tasting.

"No!"

Gu Qing shook his head and smiled, "Sit down, all of you, and accompany me in tasting the immortal delicacies. Food tastes better with more people."

"Alright!" Unable to share the fine wine, both felt a little disappointed.

"Revered Master, this is Kunpeng liver. The immortal chef cooked it with thousands of immortal herbs; it's delicious, you should try some."

Mo Ziyun picked up a piece for Gu Qing. These were all cooked in advance and meant for Xian'er; they themselves couldn't even get to eat them.
