Becoming evil makes you ten times stronger, but becoming a demon gives you hundredfold strength-Chapter 222 - 199: Deceiving Both Sides, Earning From Both Sides

Great Wu, now known as the Minor World of The Great Tang Dynasty.

"Ah Yun, I will definitely bring you back!"

This was a young man, his eyes seething with hatred as he stared at King Meng Tian’s palace. His dream lover, once known as the most beautiful woman in Jiangnan, had no choice but to suffer in silence and become one of Meng Yu’s consorts.

"We must thwart King Meng Tian’s schemes, his massive mobilization this time must have an ulterior motive, and this could be our last chance. Let’s not forget the glory of Great Wu!"

In another corner, another group of people spoke out. Great Wu had been suddenly and violently shattered by Meng Yu; some had surrendered, debasing themselves and even offering up the most beautiful women to the royal family as a show of loyalty, while others went into hiding, seeking to restore their nation.

Seven years since the establishment of The Great Tang Dynasty, although King Meng Tian rarely attended morning court sessions and generally neglected state affairs, spending most of the year unaccounted for, the national strength of The Great Tang continued to rise day by day.

However, the nation’s growing strength meant the continuous removal of many unworthy people, and many of those who surrendered found themselves unsuited for this new era, harboring ulterior motives of their own.

Regardless, King Meng Tian was only one person, and Master Bai barely made an appearance (Bai Qianqian certainly didn’t go to the imperial city to meet Meng Yu’s harem), so they still had a chance.

Especially in the last two years, everyone had this feeling that they were geniuses, that their organizations were rapidly increasing in strength (as Spiritual Energy was recovering), and so on... So...

Days went by, until one day... Huh?

Weren’t there only two or three kittens at Bai Yun Temple? How come so many immortals suddenly descended from the heavens?

...

"Below us, is that Moon-Watching Sect?"

Onboard a Flying Boat, a person looked down at the bustling city below and asked.

"No, that’s a Marketplace of Moon-Watching Sect used specifically for trading various items."

Atop the massive Flying Boat, three Golden Core Masters from Mysterious Heaven Sect stood side by side, clouds beside them, the world beneath their feet.

It had been two years since the last trade, and this time, Mysterious Heaven Sect had come with three Golden Core Masters, bringing enough Spirit Stones to visit Meng Yu.

Two years ago, when news came that Fu Youzhi had brokered a deal but faced suspicion from his own wife and the like, one of the Golden Core Masters stationed in the Western Wastes nearly died from frustration!

At a critical moment, someone offers a helping hand, and you suspect it’s tainted. Do you have any idea how reputable the jade rabbit is?

It’s one of the Nine Great Divine Beasts, not one of the seven Great Demons!

This Golden Core Master immediately took Fu Youzhi to negotiate with Meng Yu, but unfortunately, Meng Yu expressed his regrets, saying he found the deal too burdensome and not worthwhile.

The Golden Core Master arrived just in time for a product trade fair opened by Moon-Watching Sect, Pavilion of a Hundred Treasures, and others. Enjoy new adventures from novelbuddy

The trade fair wasn’t a big success; with only two months of preparation, many people hadn’t even heard about it, let alone attended. There were few attendees, but the fair was still a success for Meng Yu, who managed to sell many Immortal Sect items. Whether it was Spirit Rice, Spiritual Wine, or daily necessities, everything fetched a decent price. Mysterious Heaven Sect, in a single breath, bought over twenty tons, which was nearly a hundred thousand bottles of Spiritual Wine, and 23,600 loads of Spirit Rice.

Though it was far from the million loads of Spirit Rice, the Golden Core Master was very pleased and arranged with Meng Yu to meet again at the next trade fair, two years later.

The two-year interval was necessary because the Western Wastes were far, and even the fastest Flying Boat took two years for a round trip.

This was only because Mysterious Heaven Sect was relatively close to the Western Wastes.

On the lower deck of the Flying Boat, a Foundation Establishment Practitioner was conveying the will of the Golden Cores to the Qi Refinement disciples.

For this trade, Mysterious Heaven Sect had deliberately selected over a hundred late-stage Qi Refinement disciples from the Sect to accompany them.

"You, when you meet Meng Yu later, remember to be respectful, treat him as a true elder, and show the utmost reverence, understand?"

The Foundation Establishment Practitioner instructed in such a manner.

"If he tells me to commit suicide, should I listen to him too?"

Those who could come were all among the elite disciples of Mysterious Heaven Sect, and naturally, some found this unreasonable, such as when surrounded by so many charming and beautiful fellow sisters, one after another like heavenly fragrances, what if Meng Yu, who could even take a rabbit, suddenly lost control?

"If so, then you go and commit suicide."

A voice came from above, the oppressive might of a Golden Core Master descended, lifting the disciple into the air, and delivering a front and back slap on each side of his face.

"Do you understand?"

Mysterious Heaven Sect was an Orthodox Sect that valued reason and fostered unity and love among its members. Of course, if your seniors really hit you, it was for your own good.

You’ve really made a serious mistake.

The elite disciples below, looking at this Qi Refinement Realm genius with a swollen face, had thoughts stirring in their minds.

This time, when selecting people, many true geniuses were hinted to sign up, sign up, sign up. It was a rare opportunity, so... what exactly happened this time?

...

"Pavilion Master Cheng, it’s not that I’m inflexible, but... there are just too many people going in."

Meng Yu sighed, and sighed again. Although the other party had placed three Superior Spirit Stones in front of him, he still... did not want to be tempted.

The fame of Meng Yu spread, then the plan of the Son of Heavenly Way was also known, and then, after the Golden Core Experts of the Mysterious Heaven Sect finished purchasing Spirit Rice, they asked Meng Yu, can our people observe the plan of the Son of Heavenly Way?

Initially, Meng Yu refused. He did not want to provoke any further waves, but when the other party brought out Spirit Stones, he felt it was right to help others.

The Great Formation of the Moon-Watching Sect needed Superior Spirit Stones, Bai Qianqian needed Superior Spirit Stones for her cultivation, many, many places also needed Spirit Stones.

Meng Yu agreed, repeatedly emphasizing to the Mysterious Heaven Sect not to leak the secret and just to arrive on time in two years, but who could have imagined, in this world there is more than one clever person, some bastard quietly turned out a past successful instance of the Son of Heavenly Way, and then, everyone discovered, alas, although the Son of Heavenly Way plan benefitted Meng Yu the most, spectators could also gain benefits.

If it was presided over by a True God Transforming Master, then everyone would have remained silent, but now, it was someone who was easy to talk to. So, everyone might as well ask a few more times.

Everyone has outstanding juniors; they all want their families to have future generations, thus, wave after wave of requests began, and many sects from the Western Wastes came to pull strings.

When everyone brought out Middle-grade Spirit Stones, Superior Spirit Stones, as well as some rare treasures, Meng Yu suddenly felt that he should not be so unsympathetic.

The Immortal Sect had solved so many problems, Zhuge Caihua’s experiment proved that the onlookers could also get a slice of the pie; hence, there was great potential in this matter.

"Sect Master Meng, it’s our fault for not selecting the right people and missing a few families’ disciples. So please, could you help us again, is that alright?"

The division Pavilion Master of the Myriad Treasures Pavilion, with a look of reverence and sincerity, ultimately made Meng Yu sigh.

"It’s settled then, just these twelve people, we can’t add any more, okay? And, when they get there, they must follow rules, don’t cause any trouble for me. I won’t ask everyone to do anything in particular, but you must act according to the rules down there, understand?"

Four people for one Superior Spirit Stone, this price was indeed not low, and Meng Yu was quite helpless. He had once asked Bai Qianqian of the jade rabbit clan, why don’t they learn to sell off-plan properties, oh no, presale properties?

The plan of the Son of Heavenly Way, even in this place, was extremely expensive, and most of the time it failed, but your byproducts, those are incredibly awesome, look at Zhuge Caihua, she has become the Daughter of Heavenly Way, and six of her classmates attained Foundation Establishment by Enlightenment. Further down, six thousand students felt really good, observing the workings of the Heavenly Dao, absorbing Spiritual Energy, excitedly sending red packets to Meng Yu in the group chat.

"We also considered this situation back in the day, but there was a technical problem.

The seventeen problems that the Immortal Sect solved, six of which were about letting more people benefit, otherwise, the beneficiaries would only be close to a hundred. If we charged for it, it wouldn’t be that much cheaper. True God Transforming Masters have their own prestige, Nascent Soul True Monarchs have their own dignity, they want their own children and disciples to become the Son of Heavenly Way to stand out, not for other people to also receive the benefits equally.

There have been historical precedents where the Son of Heavenly Way failed, but someone else attained Foundation Establishment by Enlightenment, and that person was mocked for life while other geniuses worked hard to advance.

As for sect investments... with over a hundred slots, there’s competition and squabbling, external disruption, demons causing chaos, et cetera. Basically, the project couldn’t proceed even halfway before various problems arose, sometimes even causing unrest in a sect. Consider it a distinction between establishing the wise and virtuous."

Alright, Meng Yu understood. Just as the Immortal Sect could entrust the Penglai Vessel to the Little Black Rabbit because of her ancestor’s various merits, not because she had a grandfather who was a True God Transforming Master. If anyone from the Immortal Sect dared to do so, there would definitely be a collective backlash. It would be even more fierce over here: why should a single family replace everyone else?

"Master Xue, since you insist, I won’t refuse. Let them come."

"Alright, Mr. Meng. But that said, I’ve heard that the beneficiaries of the Son of Heavenly Way plan aren’t many. So, might there be an issue?"

Well, Meng Yu understood. This one was worried about being scammed, about one house being sold to multiple buyers.

"Master Xue, I have a video here. Could you watch it without leaking it afterward? The result will definitely exceed your expectations. Have a look. This is from two thousand three hundred years ago, one of my senior sisters; she succeeds in becoming the Daughter of Heavenly Way with the help of a jade rabbit."

A Memory Stone displayed the scenes of Zhuge Caihua and others achieving Foundation Establishment, the grandeur of the spectacle left Pavilion Master Xue dumbfounded.

He was only drawn here by others’ introductions to invest, ready to pave the way with Spirit Stones. Of course, there was also a trace of a competitive drive in his heart.

But look... over six thousand Qi Refinement Practitioners, all in their early twenties, each one standing out with exceptional discipline. They obeyed commands, followed the rules, and indeed succeeded. That girl achieved Foundation Establishment, and the effect looked very promising.

Such a sect force, it must have at least two or more Nascent Souls!

"That time, Bai Qianqian’s ancestor succeeded but damaged our Divine Artifact, so she fled. We actually don’t blame her, so we tracked her down later and restarted the Son of Heavenly Way plan.

You all need not worry; the improvements that needed to be made have been made. Those who go in this time, if they just follow the arrangements, should fare very well."

Meng Yu spoke calmly, and then Master Xue’s expression changed several times before he addressed Meng Yu, saying that although he didn’t have any Superior Spirit Stones left, he still had Middle-grade Spirit Stones. Could he still add people?

A hundred-year plan, cultivating people takes a hundred years.
