Who Let Him Cultivate?!

Chapter 383: Chapter 382: Deep Cooperation_1

After exchanging pleasantries, Lu Yang handed a storage ring to Vice Headmaster Shi.

“Inside are two hundred seed of fire and two hundred barbecue grills, enough for a while.”

Vice Headmaster Shi sent out a strand of spiritual sense and roughly scanned the contents of the storage ring. His heart was delighted. With these items, the number of branches was no longer a problem.

Vice Headmaster Shi pushed a ledger and a storage ring towards Lu Yang.n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

“This details the operation of the past month, and the part of the profit for your sect.”

After counting the spirit stones inside the storage ring, Lu Yang found that it amounted to about one hundred and twenty thousand spirit stones.

This was the net worth of an average cultivator at the Golden Core stage.

Putting on an indifferent appearance, Lu Yang casually handed the storage ring to Tao Yaoye, “Put it in the treasury when you get back.”

Tao Yaoye quietly accepted the storage ring without a word, her inner peace disrupted.

One hundred and twenty thousand spirit stones, even more than what a Golden Core stage cultivator would accumulate in a lifetime. She had never seen so many spirit stones before.

Lu Yang sent a message to Tao Yaoye using his spiritual sense, not afraid that Shi Huagu would overhear with Fairy Eternity present.

“Junior Sister Tao, keep calm. Once your patent for Dream Mirage is granted, you’ll earn much more than this.”

“And don’t be intimidated because the other party is at the Unification Stage and is a vice headmaster of the demonic sect. He might even come begging you in the future, after all, your Dream Mirage is the best for advertising.”

“Why?”

Tao Yaoye was puzzled. Lu Yang just smiled and chose not to explain further.

Seeing Lu Yang’s indifferent attitude, Vice Headmaster Shi thought that perhaps Lu was dissatisfied with the amount of money, which might cause a rift in the relationship between Nine Nether Sect and Heaven’s Court. He explained, “The business just started and initial investment was large, so it’s hard to make a profit in the early days. Please forgive me, Talent Lu. I believe that after a couple of years of setting up barbecue shops across the continent, there will be tens of millions of spirit stones flowing into the treasuries of our sects every day!”

Vice Headmaster Shi was not merely wooing Lu Yang with empty promises, this was a calculated result.

Lu Yang waved his hand, “Master Shi misunderstood, I’m not complaining about the small amount of spirit stones. My sect’s treasury stores countless ancient treasures, heavenly weapons, immortal fruits and the likes. If we wanted spirit stones, selling a little of those would be a boundless wealth.”

“I just want to remind Master Shi that our shared establishment of barbecue shops embodies the friendship between our two sects. We should not be rigidly influenced by spirit stones. How could the bond between our two sects be weighed by spirit stones?”

If it were simply a transaction of spirit stones and running a barbecue shop together, such collaboration would definitely be superficial. What Lu Yang wanted was a deeper collaboration with the Nine Nether Sect.

Vice Headmaster Shi felt greatly ashamed, thinking that despite being at the Unification Stage, his vision was too narrow.

Worthy of being the geniuses of the Ancient Heavenly Court, his vision was not comparable.

Just as Lu Yang felt that he had sufficiently exposed Tao Yaoye to the world and was about to leave, Vice Headmaster Shi hurriedly stopped him.

“Young Master Lu, Talent Tao, please wait.”

Tao Yaoye’s heartbeat slowed, thinking she was discovered.

“What’s the matter?” Lu Yang wondered, what else could there be after delivering the goods and receiving the spirit stones?

At the same time, he sent a message to Tao Yaoye, signaling her not to be nervous.

“I wonder what Young Master Lu’s opinion is on ancient cultivators?”

Vice Headmaster Shi suddenly had a thought. He realized that what Lu Yang wanted was not just spirit stones, but deeper cooperation.

Since that’s the case, deep cooperation it shall be!

“Ancient cultivators?” Lu Yang chuckled, the pride of being Talent of the Ancients reflected in his eyes along with disdain for ancient cultivators, “Before us of the Heaven’s Court, would anyone dare to call themselves an ancient cultivator?”

Only then did Vice Headmaster Shi realize. That’s right, whether they were cultivators from Great Yu or Great Qian, they were all juniors in front of Lu Yang.

In terms of antiquity, who could compare with Heaven’s Court?

In terms of foundation, who could match the Heavenly Court that governed countless stars in the sky?

Even though the Central Continent is vast, how could it ever compare with endless stars?

In terms of the strength of their era, the ancient times had the widely known Four Immortals of the Ancients, the hidden Immortal Eternities of their time, and Dou Tianzun. In total, six immortals. Whether Great Yu and Great Qian have immortals or not is another matter!

The so-called ancient cultivators just can’t compare with Heaven’s Court!

What nonsense!

Having heard Lu Yang say so, Vice Headmaster Shi had reassurance in his heart. He indignantly said, “I wonder if Young Master Lu has heard of the Qingzhou banquet half a month ago, where ancient cultivators emerged out of nowhere, disrupting the order of the banquet and causing it to end hurriedly.”

Lu Yang nodded, “I heard some things.”

“To be honest, I opened a branch store on a whim at the Qingzhou banquet. I hoped to see how well the people of Qingzhou would accept a barbecue shop. But before I could grasp the situation, it was disrupted by the cultivators of the Great Yu dynasty!”

Vice Headmaster Shi was furious when he spoke of this incident. He had just been trying to run a good business without interfering with the affairs of the ancient cultivators, yet those ancient cultivators insisted on causing trouble for no reason.

Do you know how important Qingzhou is? Of the seventeen provinces of the Great Xia dynasty, Qingzhou is strong enough to rank in the top three!

A barbecue shop in Qingzhou, do you know how much money it could make!

He had heard that the strength of Qingzhou used to be mediocre, ranked in the middle or even lower. It was only two thousand years ago that a governor emerged in Qingzhou. This governor not only had high cultivation level, reaching the Transcendance Tribulation Stage, but also had innovative ideas, often doing things that others could not think of. The Qingzhou banquet was his suggestion.

Under this governor’s leadership, the strength of Qingzhou increased day by day, breaking into the top three, and at its peak even ranked first!

“There are fifteen barbecue shops that our two sects opened jointly. It’s not a big deal if one barbecue shop is ruined. The problem is that if these ancient cultivators can ruin one place once, they can ruin the second time!”

Vice Headmaster Shi indirectly reminded Lu Yang in his words that the barbecue shop that the cultivators of Great Yu destroyed was not the barbecue shop of Nine Nether Sect, but the joint barbecue shop of Nine Nether Sect and Heaven’s Court.

Dependent on his ability to pass the Thunder Tribulation, Vice Headmaster Shi could hardly vent his anger even if he hacked the Heavenly Calamity Sovereign to half-death. He had no other choice but to vent his anger on other ancient cultivators when the Heavenly Calamity Sovereign got away.

The barbecue shop was related to his debt of a billion. If he couldn’t repay it and was struck dead by the sky thunder, he would have a deep hatred for the ancient cultivators!

An unavenged hatred isn’t human!

Lu Yang understood, Vice Headmaster Shi had a grudge against the ancient cultivators, and wished for the help of Heaven’s Court.

Of course, he was happy to be involved.

Lu Yang looked at Vice Headmaster Shi with a smile: “Does Master Shi still remember the plan I made for your religion in the barbecue shop last time?”

Vice Headmaster Shi blurted out, his Unification Stage memory being quite strong: “The Nine Nether Sect forms external alliances with the Demon Territory and the East Sea, and internal alliances with the Relentless and Sunflower Sect. When the struggle of the Great Era arrives, if our two sects act together, we will achieve the cultivation, and the Nine Nether can rise!”

“In the plan, did I suggest an alliance with the cultivators of the Great Yu and Great Qian era?”

The eyes of Vice Headmaster Shi lit up. That’s right, there was no place for ancient cultivators in the plan!

“Originally this world belonged to my Heavenly Court. If my Heaven’s Court cannot tolerate Yingtian Immortal and the others ruling the Ancients, how can we tolerate Great Qian, Great Yu, and Great Xia ruling the continent?”

Vice Headmaster Shi was overjoyed. The attitude of Heaven’s Court was even tougher than he had imagined.

With the strong support of Heaven’s Court, he wondered how those damned ancient cultivators would cope!

“I would ask your respected sect to join hands with my Nine Nether Sect to deal with the ancient cultivators!” Vice Headmaster Shi, standing up, his gaze burning, hoped to reach a cooperation agreement with Heaven’s Court, very sincerely.

Lu Yang stood up leisurely, the corners of his mouth carrying a confident smile, as he shook hands with Vice Headmaster Shi.

“Well then, a pleasant collaboration.”
