Becoming evil makes you ten times stronger, but becoming a demon gives you hundredfold strength-Chapter 243 - 220 I Have a Dream

"How can the tax rate be this high, how can it be like this!"

Transmigrator Meng Yu was engaging in a friendly yet futile negotiation with the Immortal Sect official in front of him.

The Immortal Sect officials, patient and considerate, were educating Meng Yu on the import and export tax rates of the free trade zone!

Two hundred percent, payable in spirit stones.

For example, if Tan Xingyu sold one million loads of spirit rice for export, he’d get one million spirit stones, but when Meng Yu purchased it, he would have to pay an additional two hundred percent in tax, that is another two million spirit stones, totaling three million spirit stones.

The Immortal Sect doesn’t care about the fluctuating prices; you negotiate those on your own. What items Meng Yu uses, whether they are precious materials or not, the Immortal Sect also doesn’t care, but you can’t shortchange the Immortal Sect on the tax.

"Mr. Meng, paying taxes is a glorious duty, and it rewards the Immortal Sect, after all, we also have a lot of work to do, like the twenty percent value-added tax and the import-export tax all included within, let’s all show some consideration for each other, how does that sound?"

Standing in front of Meng Yu were two Foundation Establishment Masters with beaming smiles, one male and one female.

"Actually, I am quite willing to contribute to the Immortal Sect, how about we proceed with this trade as is, and then I’ll consult some legal experts and relevant personnel before we talk again? After all, I remember there are tax rebates for Immortal Sect exports, but here you go, taxing me so high when I export luxury goods and import spirit stones..."

Meng Yu murmured his complaints, while the Foundation Establishment Masters across from him continued to smile, yet their hearts were filled with regret.

They also occasionally read some serialized novels online, and in one genre, characters would unselfishly dedicate their Golden Fingers to the Immortal Sect, expressing their lifetime of devotion and desire for nothing in return, full of righteousness and integrity, which they particularly enjoyed.

Unfortunately, Meng Yu was not that kind of person.

"What kind of items are you planning to export this time?"

"I’ll have to take a look first; this tax rate doesn’t seem right. I need to find a way to evade or dodge taxes..."

Meng Yu spoke such rebellious words, but the Foundation Establishment Masters did not say anything, just reiterated the glory of paying taxes.

"By the way, is the Star-Destroyer Cannon on the Yingzhou available for sale?"

Meng Yu suddenly asked this question.

Initially, the Star-Destroyer Cannon aboard the Yingzhou destroyed Changdong Star, leaving a deep impression on Meng Yu.

"Ah?"

"Over there, I encountered some very unpleasant things and plan to acquire some military hardware to strike back. The Star-Destroyer Cannon on the Yingzhou is very good; I’m very interested in it. I want a smaller, more portable version. True Masters, we can discuss the price, and I can guarantee it won’t be used on the Immortal Sect’s side."

...

Meng Yu has come back, and he was staying in Bai Qianqian’s cave dwelling!

Once the news spread, it ignited the enthusiasm of countless people; of course, when Meng Yu started settling bills, it made countless people rub their hands together in excitement.

Everyone happily sent out invitations, but the unfortunate response from Meng Yu was, "Sorry, for personal safety, I can’t run around."

Well, that was shrewd of him; he knew some people would definitely not care about Bai Qianqian’s retribution. As long as there was a chance to catch Meng Yu, they would risk it all for the opportunity.

Then came the joyous part of making payments.

Bai Qianqian did not owe money, she made a large fortune, and even Bai Qianqian felt she had earned too much! Repeating for emphasis, after buying Qingfeng Star, Bai Qianqian wasn’t proactive, didn’t speculate in real estate, didn’t do housing trade, but even so, in just over three months, a lot of land had been sold, money came pouring in till her hands went soft, even Bai Qianqian thought this world was too magical, the free trade zone wasn’t even built yet, but the money was already made. Couldn’t all the people of the Immortal Sect be fools, could they?

Free trade zone, energy imports, spirit stone transactions... a series of concepts got the whole Immortal Sect boiling with excitement, and it wasn’t dignified for the big companies not to buy some real estate on this planet.

However, the money that Bai Qianqian earned, Meng Yu didn’t touch a penny of it. That was inner circulation. The two tax officials were right – with such high profits, paying taxes according to the law is a must, at least give the Immortal Sect some face.

So, Meng Yu started his massive purchasing.

This time, the main items he acquired were spirit rice, spiritual medicines, and array plates.

Spirit rice ensured that everyone was well-fed without worries, spiritual medicines helped cultivators significantly reduce their spirit stone consumption, and array plates were the most basic modules of formations, very useful.

Then came the weapons.

This was an open procurement. Meng Yu listed all sorts of information about Bu Shixian, Hua Miaochai, Hu Qingquan, Song Wuqiu, and the Grand Carp Immortal, their abilities, as well as various details about the disciples of the Moon-Watching Sect. He started a bidding process to equip them with weapons, armed to the teeth, two sets each!

Meng Yu paid with middle-grade and even superior-grade spirit stones, as long as it satisfied him!

Unfortunately, for bigger deals like the Star-Destroyer Cannon and such, the Immortal Sect made it very clear not to even think about it, along with all sorts of large-scale lethal weapons, technological weapons, anything that even remotely touched upon them, the Immortal Sect also stated that they could not be exported.

The Old Immortal Gate had perished, and the Immortal Sect side obtained some materials, which could very likely be related to technological issues, and towards this, the Immortal Sect was extremely cautious.

```

Meanwhile, the Immortal Sect was also very cautious around Meng Yu, as he was a born rebel!

Meng Yu was just too good at giving everyone a fright.

...

Dong Haokuang, dressed in a red robe, entered Meng Yu’s cave dwelling.

The Blood God Sect had, of course, also purchased a large piece of land on Qingfeng Star, hoping to become friends with Meng Yu.

Dong Haokuang’s master even actively participated in Meng Yu’s bidding convention, expressing their specialty in carnage and offering good quality at low prices.

"Mr. Dong, hello, I’m very glad you could come."

Dong Haokuang was a Foundation Establishment Master. These days, aside from his trusted Golden Core companions, Meng Yu wouldn’t see anyone else from the Immortal Sect or other factions, only Qi Cultivation practitioners or Foundation Establishment ones.

"Mr. Meng, I’ve heard you encountered some trouble over there and want to start a war, but the Immortal Sect isn’t providing you with weapons, is that right?"

"Yes, it’s not just that they won’t give me a Star-Destroyer Cannon, they won’t even provide slightly inferior weapons. It’s like they see me as a terrorist. You’ve come at the right time—does the Blood God Sect have an interest in exporting weapons?"

"What do you want?"

At that moment, Dong Haokuang’s mind flashed with images of Blood Puppets, Flying Golden Corpses, Blood God Children, and so on.

"How much for the complete Blood Sea Great Formation Diagram? The one that uses the Blood God Banner as the primary Magical Treasure, with the Fourth Rank Divine Banner in the middle, thirty-two refined Golden Core Puppets seated within, one thousand and twenty-four Foundation Establishment practitioners occupying the critical points, and one hundred thousand Qi Cultivation practitioners forming the Great Formation. When deployed, it blots out the sky and sweeps away everything—how much for that full version? I’m interested in it."

"Pfft."

Dong Haokuang, who was drinking tea, nearly choked to death.

"That’s a Fourth Rank Divine Artifact, even capable of reaching Grade Five, and it’s one of the most formidable types. What… what do you need it for?"

"It’s for bullying the little guys, of course. They have over thirty Golden Cores. Taking the Blood Sea Great Formation over there isn’t too much, right?"

Meng Yu also seemed odd, having been bullied in the barbaric era, and now, back in the civilized world, with plenty of money, only a fool would buy something like rifles. Aren’t heavy machine guns, artillery, and bombers preferable?"

"But that’s a Fourth Rank, even Grade Five Magical Treasure. Can you control it?"

"I’m trading Spirit Stones for it. What are you afraid of? You don’t need to worry about after-sales; I’m not even afraid, so why are you worried?

Trading weapons for Spirit Stones is a good deal, I know. You’ve been frustrated fighting against the Immortal Sect, with such large-scale weapons heavily restricted. You can’t use them in First Grade, Second, or even Third-Order Minor Worlds, and there are restrictions in higher worlds. But in the Western Wastes, it’s different; there are no such legal restrictions.

I’ve thought it through. There are many and powerful enemies in the Western Wastes, but they only reach a certain level of strength; there’s a cap. Taking the Blood Sea Great Formation back there this time would definitely allow me to sweep through the Western Wastes.

The most interesting part is the great distance between the Western Wastes and the Central Plains. Even if those Orthdox Sects learn of the trouble I’m making there, it would take them more than a decade to travel back and forth.

I remember the Blood God Sect has the Human Refinement Furnace, designed specifically for refining Golden Core Experts. Sell me one of those. There’s really no shortage of Golden Core Experts there. I’ll use the Blood Sea Great Formation to capture people, then use the Human Refinement Furnace to refine Puppets. After refining the Puppets, I’ll send them into the Blood God Banner to enhance the power of the Blood Sea Great Formation. This kind of cycle, over a decade, will turn all those Golden Cores and Foundation Establishment practitioners from the Western Wastes into Puppets. Even if you sell me a semi-finished product, I’ll be able to upgrade it to a complete Fourth Rank version. Don’t you agree?"

Listening to Meng Yu’s vision of the future left Dong Haokuang parched. This universe, such a poor place, often had just one or two Golden Cores per planet, with Qi Refinement practitioners not that numerous—who could compare to the abundance of the Western Wastes?

Dong Haokuang blinked, looking at Meng Yu and feeling as if he were seeing the true successor or even a holy son of the Blood God Sect.

"The path I chose back then was to join the Blood God Sect as a disciple right after coming out of Hongye Prison to develop well and benefit the sect, but a series of misfortunes prevented me from getting there.

However, now that I have money, I can also study abroad. I’ve always had a soft spot for the Blood God Sect. Please, when you go back, tell them that the price is negotiable; as long as they deliver the goods, everything can be discussed."

"Wait a second, you’re saying, you want to join the Blood God Sect, could it be that back then..."

Suddenly, Dong Haokuang shivered. He remembered the old days when Meng Yu was committing crimes all over the Immortal Sect. If at that time, Meng Yu had a beginner level Blood God Banner, Human Refinement Furnace, and Blood Sea Great Formation, what could he have achieved?

He could have been capturing Qi Refiners and Foundation Establishers from planet to planet, then upgrading himself and his treasures...

"Not anymore, not anymore. How could I possibly harm my own people..."

Meng Yu said with a bashful smile.

Dong Haokuang didn’t speak, just felt a bit of bitterness in his mouth.

Back then, the places Meng Yu roamed weren’t just limited to the Immortal Sect; they could also be the Blood God Sect. If that person practiced the Blood River Great Art and then caused trouble with the Blood God Banner and Human Refinement Furnace at the Blood God Sect...

"The price is negotiable, the price is negotiable!"

Meng Yu entertained Dong Haokuang very politely and warmly.
