Chapter 108: Research For the Sacred Ground’s Rise
“As the Iron Essence was too expensive, Junior Brother Yundi could not buy it.”
Shen Tian was very straightforward, not leaving any face for Qin Yundi. It counted as taking revenge on Qin Yundi for selling him out to the Sacred Leader.
The Sacred Leader nodded and seemed to be deep in thought.
…It’s true. The Iron Essence is one of the main materials for cultivators to create supreme-grade Dharma artifacts.
Iron Essence as small as one’s thumb can be sold for a high price of 3,000 Spirit Stones. It can be said to be extremely expensive.
Looking at the size of the Yin-Yang Demon-Penetrating Gun in Qin Yundi’s hands, if it were really to be completely made with Iron Essence, then, most likely, without a few hundred thousand or even a million Spirit Stones, it would be impossible to do so.
Of course, if an Iron Essence Demon-Penetrating Gun can really be created, then using it will be amazing as it will not get damaged after one use. It can be used repeatedly.
Originally, as the power is scattered and weakened, even if one uses 10+ Yin-Yang Penetrating Divine Lightning or 10+ semi-finished Demon-Penetrating Guns, they will not threaten Golden Core cultivators.
However, with the improved Iron Essence Demon-Penetrating Gun, if three to five Yin-Yang Lightning Explosion Talismans were stuffed inside together with an Iron Alloy Bullet, they could even penetrate the Golden Core realm.
The cost is only 80-100 Spirit Stones. Given such a destructive force, even Perfected Ones would be terrified.Such a Dharma artifact is not suitable to be popularized, but it can be lent to inner-sect disciples to equip.
In this case, within some special mystic realm that restricts cultivation levels, our Divine Firmament disciples could completely have the upper hand and obtain fortuitous opportunities.
By then, outer-sect disciples would be equipped with the weakened version of the Demon-Penetrating Gun, and inner-sect disciples would be equipped with Iron Demon-Penetrating Gun and Armor-Penetrating Lightning.
They would be able to sweep through all the major mystic realms. As a result, the benefits and wealth reaped would definitely be extremely impressive.
As compared to that, investing hundreds of thousands or even a million Spirit Stones for a gun is worth it.
…
After thinking to this point, the Sacred Leader said, “It’s okay if you don’t have money. What our sect has the most is Spirit Stones.”
The mouth of Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus at the side twitched.
The Sacred Leader pretended as if he did not sense Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus’ resentment and continued.
“Tian’er, just do it without worries. As long as the quality of Yin-Yang Penetrating Divine Lightning and Yin-Yang Demon-Penetrating Gun the both of you created is good enough, our sect can buy them all. As for the price, you won’t suffer a loss. Of course, you have to take note to never sell them to enemy sects.”
One had to say, although the Divine Firmament’s Sacred Leader had cut off his emotions and desires, he was relatively fair in settling matters.
When what the Sacred Leader said resounded in the palace, Shen Tian could not help but be surprised. He thought that the Sacred Leader would ask him to hand over the patent, then give a pennant.
Who would have thought that Master would be this righteous and is actually willing to do business with us on equal footing?
Of course, Shen Tian did not notice how interesting the Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus’ expression was at the side of the Sacred Leader Palace.
If he had noticed, then he might understand the other meaning behind the Sacred Leader’s decision.
Of course, Shen Tian was not an idiot that would take a yard if someone gave him an inch.
One had to know that he was the Divine Firmament’s Saint, in the sacred ground’s personal fief, and directly under the Sacred Leader.
I can’t just believe that the Sacred Leader only wants us to produce Lightning Talismans to sell to the sect, and he does not want any benefits!
Well, if Master does not want it, it’s him being righteous. But if I don’t give, then it’s me being insensible!
Now that I am not green enough, nor am I strong enough, I have to rely on Master to protect me.
Thus, at such a moment, no matter the amount of money, would it be more important than having a powerful background? When my luck increases to the top, money will easily come!
After thinking this through, Shen Tian said righteously, “I do not agree!”
His voice was so firm and loud that Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus and Qin Yundi listening were dumbfounded. Even the lightning and heavenly aura enshrouding the Sacred Leader seemed to have trembled from the shock.
Shen Tian took a deep breath and said, “Master, Yundi and I, we are not researching the Lightning Explosion Talisman for money. It’s for the art of explosion, and for the dream of our sacred ground to thrive and become even more prosperous.”
Qin Yundi, who was behind Shen Tian, nodded firmly. “That’s right, what Senior Brother Tian said is true! For our art and for our dream!”
Shen Tian added, “The sacred ground could be said to be my home, and its construction relies on everyone. I am the Saint, and I have a deep affection for the sacred ground. I am proud, as I am a member of Divine Firmament.
“Junior Brother Yundi and I don’t care about money. We only hope for the rise of the sacred ground, that’s the reason for our research! As such, after discussing with Junior Brother Yundi, we have decided to give the Yin-Yang Penetrating Divine Lightning and Yin-Yang Demon-Penetrating Gun to the sacred ground for free.
“We only hope for the sacred ground to continue growing bigger and stronger. We are willing to give our youth for that!”
Qin Yundi felt ardor and zeal coursing through his blood from listening. His narrow eyes were filled with excitement. “I feel the same too!”
Feeling the absolute sincerity within the words of Shen Tian and Qin Yundi, the Sacred Leader was astounded.
The lightning and heavenly aura covering his body was vibrating so intensively it was unprecedented as if they were resonating with a certain emotion.
The Sacred Leader took a look at Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus at the side before turning to look at the two young men. “Good, very good. I never imagined that although your cultivation levels were not high, both of you actually had such a lofty ideal. I’m touched. I have not been this touched for many years. You two are very good!”
Shen Tian coughed lightly. “However, a large number of Spirit Stones would need to be consumed in the researching process, so—”
The Sacred Leader waved his hand and said generously, “The both of you are so loyal to our sacred ground, how could we let you down?”
“From today onwards, the sacred ground will bear and pay all the cost for the Yin-Yang Divine Lightning’s research.
“The sacred ground will sell the Yin-Yang Penetrating Divine Lightning, and the Yin-Yang Demon-Penetrating Gun’s weakened version the both of you create to our disciples.
“After deducting the cost from the overall sales, the sacred ground will keep 30% of the profit, and the remaining will be yours.”
Once the Sacred Leader finished speaking, Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus at the side felt that the former had put his nose out of joint.
He was not dumb; even he knew that this was a huge sum of money.
Second Junior Brother is too dumb1! He is completely uninterested in money after cutting off his emotions and desires.
However, Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus cultivated the Tinder Sutra, and he really couldn’t last without money!
How come this kid is able to get rich overnight!? He’s also cultivating the Tinder Sutra, so how come!?
Upon hearing the Sacred Leader’s promise, Shen Tian said firmly, “Master, we can accept the sacred ground covering our research cost, but the profits, we really cannot take them.”
The Sacred Leader scoffed. “Don’t be silly. The sacred ground is not one person’s sacred ground. It’s the sacred ground of all disciples.”
“Given your contribution to the sacred ground, if the sacred ground does not commend and reward the both of you handsomely for the world to see, then isn’t it making other disciples who love the sacred ground deeply to be disappointed? Foolish!”
Shen Tian’s mouth twitched. Sigh… I’m wrong even if I don’t want profits?
He said reluctantly, “But 70% is too much, how about just 10%!”
Sacred Leader replied coldly, “10% is impossible. The sacred ground would not take this kind of advantage, at least 60%!”
“How about 20%?”
“50%, this is the bottom line!”
The figure shrouded by lightning and heavenly aura was stalwart and tall. His voice had a majestic tone that allowed no room for doubt. “In addition, the sacred ground will send the Elder, who is the most proficient in crafting, to help you with your research. At the same time, it’s also to protect your safety.”
After finishing, the Sacred Leader’s divine consciousness instantly passed through hundreds of thousands of feet and shot straight toward a golden Spirit Mountain.
“Junior Sister Golden Lotus, come to the Sacred Leader Mountain quickly.”
