"The current Crimson Stone Fort is extremely chaotic. It's said that there are several factions and they're fighting each other openly and covertly. There's no substantial leader at all and even the control of the Danyang Holy Domain is in jeopardy. Because of this, many rules set by the Crimson Stone Fort are meaningless. These inspectors wouldn't have dared to collect benefits so unscrupulously in the past, but they don't have to worry about it now.
"If that inspector really has an extraordinary background, he can really use special means to increase the Northern Darkstar Territory's allowance," said Cang Heng.
Jian Wushuang frowned slightly.
He also knew that the Crimson Stone Fort had been torn apart since the fall of the Crimson Stone Saint. Although the Crimson Stone Saint's daughter, Yin Su 'er, was in charge of the Crimson Stone Fort, she did not have much power and was in a very bad situation.
However, Jian Wushuang did not expect Yin Su 'er's situation to be so bad.
There were several factions in the Crimson Stone Fort and they were all fighting each other. It was no wonder that the Crimson Stone Fort was in such a mess.
"The Northern Darkstar Territory is such a large star territory. The amount of allowance paid by various sects and clans every one thousand years is definitely an astronomical figure. Under normal circumstances, even if seventy percent is given to the Crimson Stone Fort, the remaining thirty percent is considered a lot for an Earth Ultimate God Territorial Lord. However, if the allowance is increased by twenty percent, such as ninety percent, then only ten percent of allowance would be pitifully small."
Jian Wushuang narrowed his eyes slightly and then continued to look at Cang Heng. "I only need to pay the allowance every one thousand years to the Crimson Stone Fort. However, I don't need to pay the Crimson Stone Fort for the wealth collected by other means, such as the congratulatory gifts sent by various clans when I take over as the Territorial Lord, right?"
"Of course." Cang Heng nodded. "Other than the allowance every one thousand years, the wealth collected by any means has nothing to do with the Crimson Stone Fort. As long as there's no big trouble in the Northern Darkstar Territory, you can collect wealth however you want. This is also the reason why many experts are very eager to become a Territorial Lord."
"That's good." Jian Wushuang smiled.
He didn't really care about his allowance every thousand years.
After all, a thousand years was too long for him in this life. With such a long time, he would have left the Northern Darkstar Territory a long time ago to explore more vast places. Moreover, his strength would have reached a whole new level. By then, he wouldn't care about this allowance at all.
This was because he didn't care what methods the Patrol Inspector would use to make things difficult for him.
The reason he wanted to become a Territorial Lord was that he could accumulate a large number of Primordial Stones in a short period of time to improve his strength.
"Commander Cang Heng, please spread the news. Tell them that I'll be hosting a banquet in the Domain Chief's Manor in half a month's time. I'll be inviting all the clans in the Northern Darkstar Continent," Jian Wushuang said.
"Yes."
Cang Heng immediately did as instructed.
In fact, all the clans in the Northern Darkstar Continent as well as many forces and sects in the Wilderness had already received the news that Jian Wushuang was about to become the new Territorial Lord. They had already prepared their gifts and had even sent people to the Northern Darkstar Continent to wait for the news to be officially announced.
Therefore, those clans and sects in the Wilderness immediately took action as soon as Cang Heng spread the news.
Half a month later, the Domain Chief's Manor was as busy as a marketplace.
Countless sects from various Wilderness had sent their congratulatory gifts in advance.
Half a month later, Jian Wushuang held a large-scale banquet in the Domain Chief's Manor.
All the clans in the Northern Darkstar Continent showed their respect at the banquet by sending their Clan Masters or extremely important people in their clans. There were also many solitary experts who attended the banquet.
As for those sects in the Wilderness, apart from a few extremely powerful sects, most of them did not attend the banquet. However, even if they did not send anyone to attend, they still sent their congratulatory gifts.
The banquet was extremely noisy and lasted for a full day and night before everyone left.
The Domain Chief's Manor was once again quiet.
Jian Wushuang was leaning on an armchair in the magnificent hall while Xiao Tiexin and Cang Heng stood in front of him.
Jian Wushuang asked, "Xin 'er, have you counted the congratulatory gifts from the various clans and sects?"
"Yes, I have." Xiao Tiexin nodded and immediately said slowly, "First of all, the cultivation resources including elixir pills and various Heaven and Earth treasures, as well as some divine weapons and armors. I've estimated that all of these things should be more than two million and four hundred thousand Primordial Stones."
Jian Wushuang's expression changed but continued to pause.
"In addition, perhaps because the news that you only like Primordial Stones has spread, those clans and sects from various Wilderness have sent a lot of Primordial Stones, much more than the cultivation resources. All of them added up to a total of six million and eight hundred thousand Primordial Stones!" said Xiao Tiexin.
"Six million and eight hundred thousand? That much? "Jian Wushuang exclaimed and could not help but stand up.
Yes, it was too much.
A total of six million and eight hundred thousand Primordial Stones!
Even top clans like the Shi Clan, Wu Clan, and Situ Clan only had about four to five million Primordial Stones if they did not include the Earth Ultimate Gods behind them.
Jian Wushuang had just become the Territorial Lord and the gifts from various clans and sects added up to a total of six million and eight hundred thousand Primordial Stones. It was much more than the assets of those top clans and sects.
In addition to the cultivation resources worth about two million and four hundred thousand Primordial Stones, it was close to ten million!
Jian Wushuang had received nearly ten million Primordial Stones from a single banquet!
"No wonder so many people want to be the Territorial Lord. The benefits of being a local tyrant are too great," murmured Jian Wushuang.
He could imagine there were so many wildernesses under the Northern Darkstar Territory. Take Wusha Wilderness as an example. Among the many sects in Wusha Wilderness, the most powerful Great Compassion Sect had to pay a thousand Primordial Stones every thousand years. Although the other sects did not pay as much as the Great Compassion Sect, they still had to pay a few hundred Primordial Stones each. Adding up all the sects of various sizes, a wilderness's yearly allowance was estimated to be twenty to thirty thousand Primordial Stones.
With so many wildernesses added up, it was probably seven to eight million Primordial Stones.
In addition to the large clans in the Northern Darkstar Territory, there were even more.
