It was true that Si Tong had a pass to trade with the Netherworld, but the current Si Tong had fallen to the point where he could not take out the money to enter the Divine Ruin Realm. This sum of money was not a small sum, no less than fifty million divine grade spirit stones. However, the pass in Si Tong's hand was still very valuable. Si Tong also understood that if he did not seize this opportunity to turn things around, that pass would be useless. Hence, he gritted his teeth and borrowed fifty million divine grade spirit stones. If he could not return it on time, he would have to use that pass as compensation.
Even though he had collected enough money, there was still a relatively harsh restriction to enter the Divine Ruin Realm. That was, each family could only send thirty people at most, and these thirty people's cultivation could only be below the Immortal Realm. Those who had reached the Immortal Realm were not allowed to participate.
With so many chambers of commerce and sects participating at the same time, and in a different world, fighting for treasures was inevitable. Those who were able to risk their lives for the various sects and chambers of commerce were naturally the disciples of the main family, outsiders would not take this risk for you.
In this way, the problem arose. Si Tong had long fallen, and the disciples under him had either died, scattered, or left. Although he still held the name of a chamber of commerce, the total number of people added up to less than five. Thus, the scene of Si Tong recruiting appeared …
Si Tong had been recruiting for more than half a month, but not a single person had come. Because even if one could return from the Divine Ruin Realm alive, if you helped Si Tong, Ba Da would not let you off! Who would do such a strenuous, unrewarding, and life-threatening thing? If not for the rules of the chamber of commerce alliance, Si Tong would have been destroyed by Ba Da long ago.
Seeing that the Divine Ruin Realm would open in three days, some chambers of commerce and sects had already begun to gather outside the Divine Ruin Realm, but Si Tong still had not recruited a single person …
With Tao Zhong's words, Yue Qianchou nodded his head, indicating that he understood. Speaking of this Divine Ruin Realm, Yue Qianchou more or less had some understanding. Back when he was chatting with Huang Tian in the Eastern Holy Land's Yellow Earth City, he had heard Huang Tian mention it.
This Divine Ruin Realm was said to be a cultivation land opened by the Ancient God, but for some reason, it was abandoned by the Ancient God. The spiritual energy inside was very abundant, and it was rich in all kinds of treasures. However, it was also extremely dangerous inside, with all kinds of ferocious beasts. According to Huang Tian, the Divine Ruin Realm would only open once every 100 years. After three months, it would close and only open again in the next 100 years. However, Huang Tian did not mention anything about the various sects participating in the opening of the Divine Ruin Realm.
As Yue Qianchou was thinking about this, he suddenly frowned and asked everyone, "Then why are all of you rushing to register at Ba Da?"
"It seems like you really don't know anything!" Tao Zhong smiled bitterly and said, "The reason why we are rushing to register with Ba Da is not to enter the Divine Ruin Realm, but to help Ba Da do business in the Netherworld. Every time he successfully completed a transaction, he would be rewarded with ten top-grade spirit stones. Although the chances of us accepting the Ba Da Chamber of Commerce's employment are slim, we'll be out of luck if you coax us like this. "
"What's there to be unlucky about? Since no one wants to go, it's fine if they don't go. They can't possibly kidnap you into the Divine Ruin Realm or kill you, right? "Yue Qianchou said disapprovingly.
The group of people immediately revealed exaggerated expressions of speechlessness. Tao Zhong did not know whether to laugh or cry as he said, "No matter how much Si Tong has declined, they are still a member of the Chamber of Commerce Alliance! The Chamber of Commerce Alliance pays attention to credibility. When dealing with the Chamber of Commerce, one must value credibility. Once they agree, they cannot go back on their word. Otherwise, even if Si Tong does not do anything to us, the Chamber of Commerce Alliance will not let us off. If the Chamber of Commerce Alliance wants to kill someone, how many people in the entire Immortal World can escape? Oh my god! Don't tell me you don't even know this? "
Yue Qianchou touched his nose awkwardly and said, "That seems to be the case, I almost forgot." Only now did he understand that he had indeed brought a lot of trouble to these guys. Although he was not afraid, it did not mean that others had the capital to not be afraid.
At this moment, three people came out of the backyard. Two men and a woman stood in front of everyone. Among them, Nan Tianlong introduced them to everyone, "This is our association's president, this is the young lady."
Yue Qianchou quickly scanned through their cultivation. Apart from the young lady who was at the Soul Formation Final Stage, he couldn't see through the president and Nan Tianlong's cultivation. It was clear that they had reached the Immortal Realm. The president looked like an outstanding person. No wonder his daughter was not bad. Yue Qianchou could not help but take a few more looks at the president's daughter, who was biting her lips and not saying a word. Other than her petite figure, everything else about her was not bad.
When everyone saw the president of Si Tong appear, no one actually spoke to him. Clearly, they were not very interested in Si Tong.
The president's face showed a trace of bitterness. He waved his hand at Nan Tianlong and said, "Si Tong is already like this, the president will not grow up, so don't mention it." Then he cupped his hands at everyone and said with a warm smile, "This humble one is Mu Bing, this is my daughter Mu Tianjiao. Thank you everyone for coming to support Si Tong at this crucial time. As long as Si Tong can get through this crisis, I will definitely remember everyone's great kindness. "
Someone in the crowd immediately muttered in a low voice, "Do you think we wanted to support you? If we weren't forced … "
Although the voice was soft, with everyone's cultivation, how could they not hear it? Mu Bing suddenly turned around and shouted, "Tianlong, what's going on? Could it be that you forced them to come? Have you forgotten the rules of the Chamber of Commerce Alliance that we cannot force anyone to buy or sell? "
Nan Tianlong hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Master, it's not like that. They took the initiative to come."
Mu Bing frowned slightly. His disciple would definitely not lie to him. He slowly turned around and his gaze swept across the crowd. "What exactly is going on? Is there anyone who is willing to tell me the details? I'd rather watch the Four Links collapse than do something like forcing people to buy and sell. "
Everyone looked at each other. In the end, Tao Zhong stood up and cupped his hands at Mu Bing. "President Mu, this can't be considered as a forced purchase. It's actually a misunderstanding." He pointed at Yue Qianchou and explained the misunderstanding, causing Yue Qianchou to feel quite embarrassed.
After Mu Bing understood the situation, he was silent for a long time. This was a difficult decision for Si Tong at this crucial time. After all, it wasn't Si Tong's fault. It was reasonable no matter where it went. Why not just try to be clever and make things worse?
"Si Tong will not force anyone." Mu Bing finally said this. Nan Tianlong's expression changed slightly. He wanted to say something but stopped himself. Everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Yue Qianchou also secretly shook his head. No wonder Si Tong's business was like this. There was no such thing as a business without evil.
Everyone was about to bid their farewells when Mu Tianjiao suddenly stepped forward and said, "But rules are rules. I, Si Tong, did not force you. You were the ones who took the initiative to join us, so how can you go back on your word? Do you really think the rules of the Chamber of Commerce Alliance are just for show?"
Everyone's eyes focused on Mu Bing. Mu Bing frowned and said, "Tianjiao …"
Mu Tianjiao's delicate face flashed with stubbornness. She immediately cupped her hands and interrupted, "Father, we also have to abide by the Chamber of Commerce Alliance's rules. If we let them go, what if someone comes to the Chamber of Commerce Alliance and accuses us of going back on our word and not hiring them? I'm afraid we won't even be able to find someone to testify for us. This is a critical time. We have to be on guard against thieves and rascals. "
Mu Bing was speechless. Nan Tianlong also immediately cupped his hands and said, "Master, junior sister is right! We need to be on guard against thieves and rascals! "
Mu Tianjiao took this opportunity to announce loudly, "As long as everyone here accepts my, Si Tong's, employment, I, Si Tong, am willing to take out one-tenth of the estimated value of the treasures obtained in the Divine Ruin Realm."
The moment these words were spoken, a commotion broke out among the crowd. This temptation was too great. One had to know that in order to enter the Divine Ruin Realm, the various chambers of commerce were willing to pay fifty million divine grade spirit stones. Under normal circumstances, they would be able to get double the return. In other words, the estimated value of the treasures obtained was at least one hundred million divine grade spirit stones. One-tenth of one hundred million divine grade spirit stones was equivalent to ten million divine grade spirit stones. If this sum of money was divided among the people here, each person would receive roughly three hundred thousand divine grade spirit stones.
Compared to the ten top grade spirit stones they would receive in a single trip to the Netherworld, it was an astronomical figure. Not to mention, the trip to the Netherworld was not entirely smooth sailing, there were still dangers.
Nan Tianlong sneaked a peek at his Master seeing that his Junior sister was willing to take out such a large amount of benefits without asking for his Master's permission, but he found that his Master was deep in thought.
Seeing that many people were tempted, Mu Tianjiao continued, "Of course, I, Si Tong, will not force everyone, I will still give everyone a choice. Those who do not want to accept my, Si Tong's employment, can leave a statement before you leave. Those who stay, I will also give you a guarantee, in case something happens that cannot be explained clearly. Whether you want to stay or leave, it's up to you! "
This time, everyone was stumped. Stay! It was too dangerous. Don't stay! Three hundred thousand divine grade spirit stones ah! Where would they find such a fat profit? This was money that they might not be able to earn even if they worked their whole lives ah! Indeed, profit and risk coexisted! This made it difficult for everyone to choose.
Yue Qianchou did not consider this, he was not short of money. Instead, he was sizing up Mu Tianjiao, noticing that this girl was indeed bolder than her father, using both kindness and authority, a person who could make decisions.
After everyone made their choice, nine out of the thirty-seven people left. These were all people with families, and they were worried that their families would suffer retaliation from the Eight Pagoda Trading Firm, so they chose to leave. The others threw caution to the wind for the sake of three hundred thousand divine grade spirit stones. As long as they got the money, they would immediately run as far as they could, prepared to never meet the Eight Pagoda Trading Firm again.
Yue Qianchou did not leave either, receiving a jade archive from Mu Tianjiao. Inside it was a guarantee from Si Tong, written personally by her. The general idea was that after entering the Divine Ruin Realm, they were willing to split one-tenth of the estimated value of the treasures they obtained equally with those who accepted Si Tong's employment.
It was not that he wanted to earn this money, but that even if he left, he might not be able to find an opportunity to go to the Netherworld immediately. Accepting this employment could also take the opportunity to inquire about more useful information, not to mention he also wanted to see what was going on inside the 'Divine Ruin Realm'. If he found something amiss after entering, he could just leave at any time, there was nothing to worry about …
