"Who says I'm a lone Sect Leader?" Yue Qianchou looked at Wei Chunqiu indifferently, his eyes narrowed as he said slowly, "Don't I still have you?"
Wei Chunqiu was rendered speechless. Noticing that Yun Peng and Wan Geyi were looking at him suspiciously, Wei Chunqiu straightened his face, "Yue Qianchou, don't drag that World Commerce of yours into my head, I have no interest in your rundown World Commerce that has nothing."
Yue Qianchou tilted his head to avoid the dazzling sunlight. Looking at the streams of light rising and falling in the sky, he slowly said, "Everything starts from nothing. What should have will eventually have … It's time for a lone sect leader like me to recruit some subordinates." As he was speaking, his eyes suddenly narrowed, looking at the buildings on the surrounding hills, asking in astonishment, "Other merchant houses have their own hills here, where is my territory?"
Everyone exchanged a glance, then Wan Geyi said as if it was a matter of course, "Naturally you have to buy it."
"You have to buy it? Didn't you pay fifty billion divine grade spirit stones just now? "Yue Qianchou exclaimed in shock.
"It's fine if you don't have to spend money." Wei Chunqiu said with a mocking smile, "There is another method that the World Commerce Alliance allows, if you fancy a house's territory, you can use your name as the World Commerce House's Sect Leader to issue a challenge to that house's Sect Leader. According to the World Commerce Alliance's rules, both houses' Sect Leaders are allowed to challenge each other. As long as you win against the other house's Sect Leader, the other house has to give up their hill to you, then you don't have to spend a single spirit stone. "
"Eh … this works?" Yue Qianchou was rendered speechless for a moment, then asked with a lack of confidence, "How many spirit stones does it cost to buy a hill?" He admitted that he didn't have the ability to challenge other houses' Sect Leaders, thus he didn't count on saving money.
Wei Chunqiu was the first to answer, decisively raising a finger, "Ten billion divine grade spirit stones … if you're not willing to pay this amount, and don't want to challenge other houses' Sect Leaders, then learn from them!" As he spoke, he pointed at the huge plaza surrounded by mountains. There were countless stalls and vendors there. The meaning behind his words was obvious. He wanted Yue Qianchou to learn from them and set up stalls there.
Yue Qianchou's expression twitched. He gritted his teeth and said, "This old man is now the grand Sect Master of the World Chamber of Commerce. How can I do something like setting up a stall? I think I'll leave this matter to you. I'll prepare the things to sell for you. There's no need for you to worry."
Yun Peng and Wan Geyi stared at Wei Chunqiu at the same time. The latter's smile froze on his face. After a long while, he said, "What? Why? "
"Why not? Because you promised to help me." Yue Qianchou spoke with an indifferent expression, "If you don't want to set up a stall, I won't force you. Lend me ten billion divine grade spirit stones first, I'll repay you later."
"Ten billion?" Wei Chunqiu was dumbfounded, "I don't see any hope of a lone Sect Master like you making money. What's the difference between lending you ten billion spirit stones and throwing it away? I don't even have enough spirit stones for my own use. I can consider giving you one or two hundred million spirit stones for free, ten billion is out of the question. "
Yue Qianchou's eyes lit up. He had said it casually, but from the other side's words, it seemed like he could really take out ten billion spirit stones. He coughed lightly, "For an expert like you, taking out ten or twenty billion spirit stones shouldn't be a problem. As for my ability to repay you, you don't need to worry about it. Think about it, I can take out fifty billion spirit stones to register the World Chamber of Commerce, do you think I'll be short of your ten billion?"
Wei Chunqiu shook his head like a rattle drum, refusing, "Since you're so rich, why are you thinking about me? I haven't had any income for many years, living off my savings. If you want to borrow money, find someone else! For example, their Wan Gu Tong is very rich, don't you have a close relationship with them? "His finger pointed at Wan Geyi.
Wan Geyi lowered his head and pretended he didn't hear anything, pretending he didn't know anything. This matter has nothing to do with me. Yue Qianchou glanced at him, he wouldn't do something like reaching out to Wan Gu Tong for money again. As the saying goes, even a rabbit will bite when it's cornered. He couldn't keep trying to take advantage of the other party. If he pushed the other party into a corner, he would be the one in trouble. This kind of stupid thing couldn't be done.
"Wei Bat King, you promised to help me." Yue Qianchou emphasized this point once again.
Wei Chunqiu immediately protested, "It's true that I promised to help you, but I can't possibly take out my savings to play with you! Look at what you've done! You actually spent fifty billion to buy a lone Sect Leader, your brain … I'm not going to play along with you, and I can't afford to, because I'm not as extravagant as you. "
Wan Geyi was pondering the relationship between Wei Chunqiu, Wan Geyi, and Yue Qianchou, whereas Yun Peng was silently observing from the side. He too was pondering what was going on between Wei Chunqiu and Yue Qianchou. A person who could casually take out fifty billion divine grade spirit stones and still dared to pester Wei Chunqiu endlessly, no one would take him as an ordinary Soul Formation rogue cultivator.
"Lend me ten billion, I'll return you fifteen billion a year later." Yue Qianchou stated nonchalantly. Yun Peng and Wan Geyi exchanged a surprised glance, this interest was really high, a little too high.
"I don't … don't …" Wei Chunqiu's refusal was stuck in his throat, the moustache above his lips curled up, and a hint of melancholy flickered in his eyes as he asked in a doubtful tone, "Are you sure you'll return me fifteen billion a year later if I lend you ten billion?" This high profit made him feel conflicted.
Yue Qianchou smiled as he untied the storage bag at his waist, handing it over to Wei Chunqiu, "I won't force you, take a look at the things inside before you decide if you want to lend them to me." Wei Chunqiu received the storage bag suspiciously, and after a brief inspection, his eyes widened in shock as he swiftly took inventory of the things inside.
There was a big pile of immortal herbs inside, each one of them was worth a hundred million spirit stones. There were at least a hundred billion inside the storage bag. Wei Chunqiu swallowed with difficulty, raising his head, "These …"
Yue Qianchou immediately waved his hand, cutting Wei Chunqiu off, pulling the storage bag back with a smile, "It's enough that you've seen it, don't spout nonsense. I only have one question for you, are you going to lend it to me or not?"
In fact, he could easily take out some of these immortal herbs to exchange for ten billion spirit stones, but he didn't want to reveal the fact that he had a large amount of immortal herbs in his possession. The reason why he registered the World Commerce Firm in the Immortal World was similar to money laundering, he needed a platform to launder his name. The World Commerce Firm was doing business normally, so it was normal for it to have immortal herbs for sale. No one could say anything about it.
It wasn't that he didn't have any other way besides borrowing money from Wei Chunqiu, but he needed an expert by his side to protect and escort him. Borrowing ten billion spirit stones for a year and paying five billion spirit stones in interest, it wasn't like he had too much money to spend. The key was to bind his interests with Wei Chunqiu and pull him onto the pirate ship together. Relying on words and threats wasn't a long-term solution.
"I'll lend it to you!" Wei Chunqiu agreed in an unusually decisive manner, and quickly took out a storage bracelet. Before handing it over to Yue Qianchou, he didn't forget to warn him, "I'll say the ugly words first, if you dare to lie to me, don't blame me for falling out with you."
Yun Peng and Wan Geyi looked at each other, not knowing why Wei Chunqiu's attitude had changed so completely, but it was definitely related to what Yue Qianchou had shown him. It was also because of this that the items in the storage bracelet were very attractive to the two of them, but looking at Yue Qianchou's intentions, it seemed like he didn't want a third party to know about it, so the two of them could only suppress their curiosity.
"My character is the best guarantee." Yue Qianchou took the storage bracelet and counted it as he praised himself. The number wasn't bad, there wasn't a piece more or less. He wore the storage bracelet on his wrist in satisfaction, his eyes already sweeping across the surrounding mountains, as if he was choosing a mountain.
However, after a while, he frowned. He discovered that all the places he could see were occupied by people. This area of mountains surrounded the square, it should be the most prosperous area … His gaze paused for a moment when it landed on Wan Gu Tong's mountain peak, then he pointed in a circle and said, "Are the sects that occupy this mountain peak all the big sects in the Immortal World?"
"That's right, the top ranked sects in the Immortal World are all gathered in this area. The further you go, the weaker the sects become. For example, the World Commerce Firm that you registered can't even be considered a beginner, I'm afraid it can only be in the outermost area. However, if you become strong enough in the future, you'll have a chance to stand at the front, "Wei Chunqiu explained seriously. There was no other way, he had already invested a large sum of money, so he naturally hoped that Yue Qianchou could earn a lot of money as soon as possible, and then return it to him, allowing him to make a fortune as well.
"Looks like I can only find a mountain to make do with first, and raise the banner of the World Commerce Firm here. Let's go! Let's go pick a place, "Yue Qianchou called out to Wei Bat King and left, while the other two followed on their own initiative.
There was no dense cloud covering the sky inside Hallucination Immortal City, it was clear that this place was also covered by a large array. Although it was difficult to spy on the situation below from high up in the sky, it was different from the protective array that Yue Qianchou had seen in the human world. This place could be entered and exited at will, without any obstacles.
The group of four flew around the periphery of Hallucination Immortal City. There were many empty mountains at the periphery of the large array, but none of them satisfied Yue Qianchou. However, places with good mountains and water had already been picked by others. In the end, they had no choice but to pick a high mountain with a waterfall. Once they landed, a golden-robed man immediately appeared and greeted them warmly. His attitude was clearly different from the other people from the Immortal Palace.
After Wei Chunqiu's secret introduction, Yue Qianchou understood that there was actually a golden-robed man squatting on every empty mountain in Hallucination Immortal City. These people were mostly people who didn't have much power in the Immortal Palace, so it seemed like they were exiled here. They could only return after selling the mountain and completing the mission. Otherwise, they would have to keep squatting on the mountain. Therefore, to these people, people like Yue Qianchou who picked the mountain was their savior.
Since they had already decided to buy it, and there was no price to negotiate, Yue Qianchou didn't say anything. He simply and straightforwardly made a deal with the golden-robed man, buying this high mountain with a waterfall as the territory for the World Commerce Firm to open …
