There were two objectives for this wedding.
The first objective was to ensure that Xiao Chou and Bai Yao could have a complete wedding without being disrupted by outsiders. The second objective was naturally to generate income for the sect!
There was a rule for holding a wedding in the name of the sect.
That was, aside from the gifts designated for Xiao Chou and Bai Yao, all of the other congratulatory gifts would be counted as part of the sect's income. This was because many of the powers that had come to offer their congratulations had come for the sake of the sect.
This wasn't to say that Xiao Chou and Bai Yao didn't receive any valuable gifts. The gifts that they had received were probably worth more than the combined wealth of two Return to Void Stage mighty figures.
An Lin gifted two seventh-grade immortal pills to the newlyweds. These were known as Blood Replenishing Immortal Pills, which could replenish one's life force at an extremely fast rate.
This immortal pill would be able to sustain Xiao Chou for at least another hour after his life force was depleted by Bai Yao!
Xu Xiaolan, Xuanyuan Cheng, Liu Qianhuan, and the others had also gifted many valuable gifts.
Aside from that, there were mountains of gifts from other sects and powers.
All in all, Xiao Chou and Bai Yao had struck it rich!
Of course, the sect was still the wealthiest!
Finance Manager Dabai and Xiao Ze had already finished tallying up the gifts.
Everyone gathered in the conference room with scorching light in their eyes.
This was always the time when everyone was the most excited.
They could bask in the ecstasy of sudden riches.
Dabai slammed his paw onto the table and cleared his throat. "Woof Woof!"
"Please speak human language," An Lin corrected.
Dabai rolled his eyes before bursting into a joyful smile. "Our sect has sent out a thousand invitations for this wedding, and there are a total of six hundred and sixty sects and powers participating. Aside from that, there are also two hundred and thirty itinerant cultivators at the Soul Formation Stage or above participating."
An Lin was very angry, and he slammed the table with an enraged expression. "Are they going to give us no face? There are over three hundred powers that are going to disrespect our sect?! "
Xu Xiaolan shot a glance at An Lin. "You've already sent invitations to the Demonic Realm and the Sinister Spirit Beast Cesspool. Are you expecting them to come here and get beaten up by a bunch of immortals?"
An Lin heaved a faint sigh. "The True Demons in Little Na's world are still the cutest."
Ignoring the nervous An Lin, Dabai continued, "Our faction has gained a lot this time. Thirty-six Spiritual Items, two hundred and eighty Spiritual Pills, over six hundred Spiritual Fruits and Spiritual Herbs, over a hundred tons of various rare materials, and six Immortal Pills! Woof! "
Everyone was overwhelmed with emotions as they listened.
"Next, it's the important part, woof!" Dabai slammed the table angrily again and said excitedly, "The total amount of Spiritual Stones our sect obtained this time is as high as 40 million!"
Boom!
In the meeting, everyone could not help but cry out.
"Forty … forty million? It's even higher than last time? "Su Qianyun's blue eyes widened in shock.
"Are you sure?" Xuanyuan Cheng was also astonished.
Xiao Ze replied, "Dabai and I did the calculations three times, so there's no mistaking it!"
"We only received a little over thirty million Spiritual Stones at the grand opening ceremony. Who would have thought that we would be able to raise 40 million this time? This is incredible!" Elder Tang Ximen was in disbelief at this astronomical number.
Everyone was given a fright by this number.
Generally speaking, the grand opening ceremony was the biggest event of the year. In the future, there shouldn't be such a grand occasion, and there shouldn't be as many congratulatory gifts as there should be.
However, there was now a situation where the reverse was happening.
They had underestimated the Four Nine Immortal Sect's growing influence in this world!
An Lin was the most composed of all of them.
He interlaced his fingers together before speaking in a slow voice, "Forty million Spiritual Stones from the wedding, and fifty million Spiritual Stones from the sect. However, that's still ten million Spiritual Stones short of the one hundred million we need to repair the Starfire Battleship … "
As soon as he said that, everyone fell into silence.
Was ten million Spiritual Stones a lot?
One-tenth of a hundred million Spiritual Stones didn't sound like much.
However, this was an unimaginably huge sum of money even for a first-rate sect!
Liu Qianhuan waved the wand in her hand. "Recently, a medium-sized demonic sect has appeared in the Wind Plain State. Arrange ten powerful beings from the Divine Mirror Division for me. I'm going to destroy their sect and see how much money I can make."
An Lin looked at the beautiful young sorceress beside him with a gratified expression.
Liu Qianhuan's actions were very much in line with his philosophy of getting rich.
"Bai Ling, I'll be counting on you to make the arrangements." An Lin smiled.
Bai Ling nodded. Aside from teaching their disciples and cultivating, these Pavilion Lords spent most of their time killing demonic sect members to generate income …
"By the way, has anything important happened in the Dragon Court of the Eastern Seas recently?" An Lin suddenly asked.
Bai Ling turned to An Lin. "What do you want to do?"
"Borrow money," An Lin replied in a concise manner.
Bai Ling: "…"
Everyone: "…"
Even if they succeeded in destroying the headquarters of a medium-sized demonic sect, they would probably only earn one or two million spirit stones at most … This was still not enough to make up for this shortfall of ten million, so they might as well borrow money from the Dragon Court …
"Master! You must stay calm and don't act recklessly! " Xue Zhantian waved his little wings. "The Dragon Court is fraught with peril, and you could be doomed if you're not careful!"
Xiao Ze also nodded. "Little Tian is right. I heard from Bei Lian that there are spell formations there that can be used against Dao Integration Stage super mighty figures. It would be very dangerous to rob them there."
"I'll say it again, I'm going to borrow, not rob!" An Lin corrected.
Everyone stared at An Lin with incredulity on their faces.
An Lin: "…"
"That's why I asked Bai Ling if anything important had happened in the Dragon Court of the Eastern Seas recently. Are there any powerful beings outside of the Dragon Court that I can ask for help from? "An Lin asked with a forlorn sigh.
Everyone came to a sudden realization. So this was not an indoor robbery, but an outdoor robbery …
"Oi, why are you all looking at me like that?" An Lin's chest constricted.
He was the sect leader of the Four Nine Immortal Sect, but he was asking a Dragon Tribe mighty figure to bail him out? Who knew what he was up to?!
"Following the battle at the Flying Ball Tribe mine, the Dragon Court of the Eastern Seas has been quiet for a long time." Bai Ling continued, "However … apparently, they're going to hold an ancestral worship ceremony on Heavenly Dragon Island of the East Sea …"
"Ancestral worship ceremony?" An Lin felt like this was a little familiar.
Bai Ling explained, "The Dragon Tribe is an extremely powerful and prosperous tribe in the Ancient Tai Chu Realm. The Dragon Court of the Eastern Seas' Dragon Tribe is actually the descendant of the Ao Family of the Ancient Tai Chu Realm, so their ancestors are naturally the Dragon Tribe of the Ancient Tai Chu Realm. This ancestral worship ceremony is most likely related to the Dragon Tribe of the Ancient Tai Chu Realm. "
Xiao Ze nodded. "During the era of the Ancient Tai Chu Realm, the Ao Family Dragon Tribe was inferior to the Xiao Family, but they were still passable."
An Lin turned to his disciple with a gratified expression.
Xiao Ze's words were quite reminiscent of his style.
The sect leader of the Four Nine Immortal Sect immediately made a decision.
"Alright, next, I'll borrow money from the Dragon Clan brothers. It's decided then!"
