Everyone turned to look and were slightly stunned when they saw that it was him. They did not know what he had to say, but his expression did not look too good. Qiu Wuyuan rubbed his head, feeling a headache coming on. It was fine if this guy did not speak, but once he did, it was hard to imagine what he would say. His opinions were always hard to bear! Why did he always feel helpless every time he met this guy! He sighed and asked, "Brother Yue, why don't you share your opinions with us?"
Yue Qianchou cupped his fists expressionlessly and said, "I'm not sure if everyone knows, but I'm fortunate enough to be the representative of the itinerant cultivators who are temporarily residing in the Chinese cultivation world."
Everyone looked at each other. Bi Shan frowned and thought, 'You're not willing to be the representative of the four major clans, but the representative of the itinerant cultivators. What's the meaning of this?' Qiu Wuyuan nodded and said, "Of course we know about this. What are you trying to say?"
"I want to ask everyone. Every sect has a share in the distribution of the spirit stones. Why aren't there any for the itinerant cultivators? They are also willing to do their bit for the Chinese cultivation world. Why do you have to treat them differently? This seems to be unfair. I hope everyone can consider the itinerant cultivators and allocate a share from the budget. "Yue Qianchou said solemnly.
For money again! Everyone was speechless. Qiu Wuyuan looked around and said, "This money was gathered from the daily mining of the spirit stone mines by the various sects. It is only natural for it to be returned to the hands of the various sects when it is needed. Wandering cultivators did not contribute a single spirit stone, yet they have to take a share. This is indeed a bit unreasonable. Brother Yue, you're making things difficult for us. "
"That's right … That's right … How can we split the money without contributing anything …" The sects roared in agreement.
"Everyone, please listen to me." Yue Qianchou cupped his fists at everyone. After the discussion died down, he continued, "I, Yue Qianchou, have always been the most reasonable person. I would never do something so unreasonable. Itinerant cultivators were weak in the Cultivation World. It was impossible for them to occupy famous mountains and great lakes to mine spirit stones like the various sects, so where would they get the money to hand it over? They had always lived and died on their own. In order to survive, they often did despicable things, so the other sects did not care about them. To put it bluntly, no sect thought highly of them. Even so, but … "
Looking around, Yue Qianchou waved his hand and pointed outside. He said emotionally, "Right outside, those unaffiliated Cultivators who you don't like joined the Cultivation Alliance without hesitation when they heard that the Cultivators of Huaxia are in trouble. They are willing to sacrifice their lives for the Cultivators of Huaxia at any time. Their selflessness can be proved by the sun and the moon …"
"Yue Qianchou!" Qiu Wuyuan couldn't bear to listen any longer, and couldn't help but interrupt. Then, he looked at the reactions of the various sects, only to see that they weren't moved by his words at all. The expressions on their faces were very strange, and it was clear that they were thinking the same thing as him.
"Brother Yue, just tell me how much money you want. But let me make it clear first, if you ask for too much, we won't give you any more." Qiu Wuyuan was too lazy to beat around the bush with him. If he really went around in circles, who knew where he would end up, and the loss might be even greater.
Yue Qianchou's expression softened a little. It was fine as long as he gave money. For such things, if you did not ask for it, they would not give it to you. You would only have a chance if you asked for it. No matter how much it was, it was better than nothing. Therefore, he nodded in relief. "Actually, they never asked me, their representative, to make any requests to the Cultivation Alliance. But I feel that with a stable source of spirit stones, the hearts of the people will be stable, and it will be easier to command. Senior Qiu, there are more than 600 people outside. How about 100 superior-grade spirit stones per month for each of them? "
"You're crazy!" Qiu Wuyuan was almost roaring. "I, the Palace Master of Ten Thousand Demons, can't even get 100 superior-grade spirit stones per month. You want us to give each of them 100 superior-grade spirit stones per month for a group of lone cultivators?"
"Yue Qianchou, you've gone too far …" The criticism from the various sects came one after another, and it was simply the anger of the crowd.
Yue Qianchou was stunned for a moment before he reacted. In recent years, he had gotten used to earning a lot of money, and he had almost forgotten that each faction's money was also accumulated over many years. He had never heard of anyone receiving more than a hundred high-grade spirit stones in a month, not even fifty high-grade spirit stones. Some sects even distributed low-grade spirit stones in a dozen low-grade spirit stones. Of course, the people with high positions in the various sects could use a lot of spirit stones, but it was completely different from receiving them according to the rules.
Damn it! I've broadened my horizons too fast, and I almost forgot the days when I was poor. How shameful! Yue Qianchou said awkwardly, "That … please calm down, everyone. I was too quick with my words, and I misspoke. I said one superior-grade spirit stone as 100 superior-grade spirit stones, please don't misunderstand!"
"I think you're so rich that 100 superior-grade spirit stones are nothing to you, right?" Da Luo Sect's Zhu Xianxian couldn't help but say. When everyone heard this, they looked at Yue Qianchou in deep thought. This guy was young, but he had a lot of money on him. Just the money he had gotten in this period of time, 100 Upper Grade Spirit Stones was not even a drop in the bucket.
"Zhu, what do you mean by that?" Yue Qianchou glanced at him coldly, and his tone darkened. He raised his eyebrows and said, "I've said something wrong, and I've already apologized. Are you trying to pick a fight with me? If so, just say it, I'll play with you anytime! "
Zhu Xianxian was also a dignified Da Luo Sect's representative. After being provoked in front of everyone, how could he bear it? Even if he could bear it, he couldn't. If he didn't put on an act, he would be humiliated by Yue Qianchou again and again. How could he face others in the future? He immediately jumped up from the cattail hassock, and Quan Deming, who was beside him, immediately pulled him back. This was something that everyone had expected.
"Yue Qianchou, don't be so arrogant. You'll get what you deserve sooner or later!" Zhu Xianxian roared, still unwilling to give up. The various sects' representatives shook their heads. What happened in the past was already in the past, and a little humiliation should be tolerated. Since you can't win against him, why can't you control your mouth? Aren't you just looking for trouble?
Yue Qianchou sneered, "Don't worry, if I really get what I deserve, I'll definitely kill you first."
Hearing this, the group of people sitting cross-legged looked at each other speechlessly. They sighed inwardly. The current Yue Qianchou was no longer the Yue Qianchou of the past. Not to mention Zhu Xianxian, as long as he had a saber in his hand, how many people would dare to challenge him? They didn't manage to kill this brat back then, but now that this brat had made a name for himself, and his momentum was growing, it wouldn't be easy to deal with him again!
"Alright! Don't talk so much. Can't you see the situation now? We're here to discuss a solution, not to quarrel! "Qiu Wuyuan shouted. The way he looked at Zhu Xianxian was clearly telling him that he asked for it. The way he looked at Yue Qianchou was complicated. If the Ten Thousand Demons really recruited this brat, they didn't know if it would be a blessing or a disaster. No matter where he went, he would get into trouble. Those loose cultivators were really ruthless. They actually pushed this brat out to be their representative. Who knew what trouble he would cause in the future?
Quan Deming helplessly pushed Zhu Xianxian back to the cattail hassock, then looked at Yue Qianchou and said, "Yue Qianchou, it's impossible to get one top-grade spirit stone. Only the disciples who are always ready for battle can get one top-grade spirit stone every month. The loose cultivators that you represent have not been assigned any missions yet, how can they enjoy the same treatment as the disciples who are always in danger? You keep saying that it's fair, but do you think it's fair? "
That didn't seem right! Yue Qianchou scratched his nose and said, "Elder Quan, there are at least tens of thousands of disciples from all the sects who are ready for battle, and I only have about six hundred people here. One spirit stone per person, that's only about six hundred in a month. Compared to the huge financial resources of the entire Cultivation Alliance, this is a small amount. Do you think you can make an exception?" He still wanted to fight for it.
"No matter how big their financial resources are, they're still prepared. Once the war starts, the consumption of elixirs and instruments will be huge, and they need to spend a lot of money to purchase them. Also, a large amount of money is used as a reward, and it's not something that can be given to anyone, "Quan Deming explained. If it was someone else, they would have been thrown out long ago. Who would have bothered to bargain with him and explain so much?
"Then how much can you give?" Yue Qianchou frowned. Quan Deming and Qiu Wuyuan exchanged a look, and Qiu Wuyuan looked at the crowd and shook his head. "Since these six hundred individual cultivators are also members of the Cultivation Alliance, I suggest we reduce the spiritual stones given by half, and give them fifty mid-grade spiritual stones. What do you guys think?"
"After a month, it's only about three hundred top-grade spiritual stones. I think it's acceptable." Quan Deming nodded.
"I think it's acceptable too," Bi Shan, who represented the four major families, said. Hua Yinyue from the Moon Clan also said it was acceptable, followed by Yuan Jiukui from the Six Paths Demon Clan. Everyone couldn't help but look at Yuan Jiukui. The first two families were still understandable, but since when did the Six Paths Demon Clan stand on Yue Qianchou's side? Yue Qianchou was also a little puzzled. What did this old guy mean by showing his goodwill so many times?
The other sects wouldn't start a feud with Yue Qianchou over a mere three hundred spiritual stones in front of him. The matter was passed almost smoothly.
Although the money was a little less, Yue Qianchou had his own plan, so he didn't argue too much. Just as he was about to sit down, he heard Qiu Wuyuan say, "Yue Qianchou, since those individual cultivators have enjoyed the benefits of the Cultivation Alliance, they have to be restrained by the Cultivation Alliance. They are not like the disciples of other sects, and they are used to being alone. If the situation is critical and they are needed, can you restrain them?"
Hearing this, Yue Qianchou straightened his back and said with a cold tone, "I have never forced them. But since they pushed me to be the leader, it's too late for them to not be restrained by me from the moment I stepped into this place. If one doesn't listen, I'll kill one. If two don't listen, I'll kill a pair. If worse comes to worst, I'll kill them all."
Hearing this, everyone's heart trembled. This madman might really do something like that. At first, they thought that those individual cultivators were cunning and pushed him to be the leader. Now that they thought about it, many of them were going to be in trouble. Just as everyone was thinking, Yue Qianchou suddenly changed the topic. He looked around and said proudly, "It won't be long before you see these six hundred individual cultivators will be like an invincible army. Wherever I point, they will fight. There is no question of not being restrained by me. You will see!"
