As soon as he said that, the laughter reverberating in the underground space stopped. Everyone held their breaths, revealing a faint expression of excitement and anticipation. Yue Qianchou smiled faintly at the people in the tunnel, "I'm currently making preparations in the Immortal World. The day we go to the Immortal World to conquer the world is not far away. The countdown has already begun."
"How long more?" Nongzhu asked excitedly. Actually, this was what everyone wanted to know as well.
Yue Qianchou smiled but didn't answer. He looked around the crowd and asked, "Is Sikong Jue here yet?" As soon as he said that, someone shouted from the back of the crowd. Sikong Jue immediately teleported in front of him and bowed, "Greetings, Torture Envoy!"
Yue Qianchou nodded and said, "I've established a merchant association in the Illusionary Immortal City in the Immortal World. It will be the starting point for everyone to establish a foothold in the Immortal World. The name of this merchant association is' World Merchant Association '. Do you understand what I mean?"
"World Chamber of Commerce …" Whispers and whispers immediately sounded in the crowd. Sikong Jue suddenly raised his head. His tightly clenched fists were faintly trembling as he said respectfully, "Sikong Jue doesn't know what Torture Envoy's intention is. Please enlighten me."
"Whether you really don't know or not, the reason why I named this merchant association the World Merchant Association is very simple. Firstly, it's to commemorate your master, Yin Baikang. But do you know why I want to commemorate Yin Baikang? "
Yue Qianchou's gaze slowly swept across the crowd as he said with a solemn expression, "I wouldn't know if I didn't make a trip to the Immortal World. Cultivators like us, even if we go to the Immortal World, we will still be vagrant cultivators with no one to rely on. The Immortal World is filled with rich and powerful families. They rely on their strength to bully the weak. They are all ruthless fellows. Even if we go to the Immortal World, we will still face many dangers. In the end, whether we can stand firm or not depends on whether we, the cultivators of the mortal world, are united or not. The reason why I named the merchant association the World Merchant Association is that I hope everyone can remember that Yin Baikang died fighting against the cultivators of the Underworld. The people we will come into contact with in the future will definitely not only be from the Immortal World, but also those from the Underworld. In short, we, the cultivators of the mortal world, must unite. Once we are divided and our strength is scattered, only death will await us. "
Everyone instantly sank into silence. In fact, there was no need for Yue Qianchou to say it. Everyone who had been tempered for a long time understood in their hearts that as long as there were people, there would be grudges. The more people there were, the more it was like this. Bullying the weak and fighting and killing were definitely unavoidable. Whether it was the Cultivation World of the human world or the Immortal World, it was the survival of the fittest. This kind of thing could only be faced bravely. It was impossible to hide even if one wanted to.
Yu Nantian, who was wearing a white cloak, walked out. He cupped his hands towards Yue Qianchou and said, "You worry too much, Torture Master. We all know this, and we have already discussed it. With our cultivation, even if we reach the Immortal World where experts are as common as clouds, we definitely won't be enough to fill the gaps between their teeth. However, we are very confident in the Disciplinary Master and have already made up our minds to follow the Disciplinary Master to the end of our lives and conquer a place of our own in the Immortal World. No matter what happens in the future, at least for now, none of us will allow a black sheep to appear among us. We will keep an eye on each other. If someone does something wrong to everyone, let alone the Disciplinary Master, even we won't let him go. "
"It's good that you all understand." Yue Qianchou looked around at the crowd and nodded, "If anyone does something wrong to me and everyone else, I promise to make him suffer a fate worse than death. But then again, everyone here is an overlord in the human world. I have no reason to order you around. When we have enough strength in the Immortal World, we will give everyone a chance to establish our own power. "
As he said this, he casually took out a jade archive and handed it to Yu Nantian, saying, "I don't know much about the Immortal World either. Here are some things I know about the Immortal World. Take it and make a copy for everyone. Before we go to the Immortal World, let's try to get a general understanding of the Immortal World so that we don't know anything when the time comes. Also, make arrangements for the human world as soon as possible. I don't want any trouble to befall our headquarters in the human world after we go to the Immortal World. All of you better restrain your own people. Don't meddle in the affairs of the human world anymore. Focus on your cultivation. If anyone's subordinates cause any trouble, I will make them pay for it. I won't hold back! "
"Yes, Disciplinary Master!" The crowd saluted in unison. Nongzhu looked at Yue Qianchou from the side and sighed inwardly. That scum of the Cultivation World back then had now become the true controller of the human world and the Cultivation World. Moreover, he had begun to extend his influence to the Immortal World. Things were indeed different now!
Yue Qianchou didn't say much. Everything that needed to be said was written in the jade archive. A white mist filled the underground space. When the white mist dissipated, Yue Qianchou was nowhere to be seen. The quiet crowd immediately became restless again. They fought to be the first to copy the jade archive from Yu Nantian's hands …
The construction on the mountaintop of the Hallucinatory Immortal City's World Chamber of Commerce was progressing very quickly. The magnificent building on the mountaintop was already taking shape. The contractor for this construction project was the "Pavilion of Divine Ordinance" Chamber of Commerce. It was said that the Pavilion of Divine Ordinance had gathered all the skilled craftsmen in the Immortal World in the field of construction. No matter how complicated or exquisite a building was, they could build it for you. Moreover, they were known for their perfect quality. They were very famous in the Immortal World.
Almost all the major sects in the Immortal World had hired them to build important buildings. Of course, the cost was much higher than the others.
The person in charge of this construction project was a hall master of the Pavilion of Divine Ordinance in the Hallucinatory Immortal City. His name was He Xu. For the past few days, whenever He Xu saw Yue Qianchou wandering around the mountaintop, he would get a headache. The main reason was that Yue Qianchou was always trying to come up with creative ideas to add to the designs that had already been finalized. In truth, it would have been fine if Yue Qianchou had said all of his ideas in one go. However, this fellow would always come up with new ideas, giving the Pavilion of Secrets a headache.
One day, Yue Qianchou suddenly found He Xu and requested to raise the building's foundation by one floor. He wanted to turn the top floor into a platform. Then, he wanted to add an octagonal flying beam roof that was half the size of the platform. The reason for this idea was that Yue Qianchou suddenly thought of creating a place on the top floor where he could bask in the sun during the day and watch the stars at night. Even if it was raining, he could still enjoy the scenery from a high vantage point.
He Xu's expression twitched. He had the urge to slap Yue Qianchou twice. The tallest building in the Hallucinatory Immortal City was only six stories tall. However, Yue Qianchou had forcibly increased the height of a twelve-story building to twenty-two stories. Now, he wanted to add another floor. No one in the entire Immortal Realm had ever seen such a tall building. Putting aside the difficulty of construction, the most important thing was whether this fellow would add a few more layers later on.
"Sect Master Yue, there's something I have to remind you of." He Xu did his best to maintain his composure. "You keep increasing the height, and it's a huge test of the building's bearing capacity. If you insist on adding another floor, you'll have to replace all the bearing columns at the bottom. You'll have to use thirty-two pieces of 'iron phoebe' that are over ten thousand years old … "
"What's the price of thirty-two pieces of iron phoebe?" Wei Chunqiu, who was following behind, interjected nervously. How could he not be nervous? The building that was originally priced at eight hundred million had been raised to one billion and eight hundred million by Yue Qianchou, and the extra money was coming out of his own pocket. It would be strange if he wasn't nervous.
"Bat King Wei, it's not ordinary iron phoebe, but thirty-two pieces of iron phoebe that are over ten thousand years old." He Xu solemnly reminded Yue Qianchou, then added, "Each piece of ten-thousand-year-old Iron Redwood costs around ten million divine grade spirit stones, so thirty-two pieces would cost three hundred and twenty million divine grade spirit stones. Moreover, this kind of renovation will cost us a great deal of energy, so you must add another five hundred million divine grade spirit stones for this renovation."
"Another five hundred million?" Wei Chunqiu's eyes widened in shock.
"Bat King Wei, take out another five hundred million!" Yue Qianchou reached out his hand disapprovingly. Wei Chunqiu staggered several steps back, shaking his head in fear, "I won't give you any more spirit stones, who knows when you'll be done with this again and again? I really don't have much spirit stones left, you've almost squeezed them dry, I really can't afford it anymore, think of another way!"
"Why should I give up what's near at hand and seek what's far away?" Yue Qianchou immediately threw out the words that Wei Chunqiu had strongly urged him to join them in the past, pulling Wei Chunqiu back with a beaming smile, "If you're worried, how about this, I'll use something as collateral, what do you think?"
Wei Chunqiu shook off Yue Qianchou's hand, groaning in pain as he scratched his head like a madman. When he was done venting, he said word by word to Yue Qianchou, "Yue Qianchou, I'm warning you, this is definitely the last time, there won't be a next time." With that said, Wei Chunqiu turned around and threw a storage bracelet to Yue Qianchou.
Yue Qianchou counted and found that the number was not bad. Waving the storage bracelet, he said to Wei Chunqiu, "Bat King Wei, don't worry, I promise you, this is definitely the last time."
"Shut up!" Wei Chunqiu's face twitched as he pointed a finger at Yue Qianchou, "Don't say the word 'promise' to me again, count how many times you've said 'promise' to me!" With that, Wei Chunqiu immediately left, angrily sitting behind Yun Peng in the distance, not looking at them anymore.
"Uh …" Yue Qianchou was stunned, he turned around to look at the magnificent building that was still under construction, and for the first time, he realized that he really shouldn't continue with the changes. He handed the storage bracelet in his hand to He Xu, "This is the last time, just build it according to what I said just now!"
After counting the spirit stones, He Xu didn't say anything else, as long as it was paid, everything else was not something he should be concerned about. He cupped his hands at Yue Qianchou, then went back to make the arrangements.
A month later, a magnificent building that stood at the peak of the mountain, with twenty-three floors and a height of more than eighty meters, finally appeared. Apart from the height of the mountain, this building was definitely the tallest building in the Immortal Realm, it was different from the other buildings in terms of beauty and grandeur, standing between the heavens and the earth, almost causing the entire Immortal Realm to gasp in awe …
