Becoming evil makes you ten times stronger, but becoming a demon gives you hundredfold strength

Chapter 381 - 318: Shuttle Back and Forth, Lonely Alone



Meng Yu occasionally peered out, observing the scene outside.

He had underestimated the enthusiasm of the investors of the Blood God Sect, or perhaps the determination of the Blood God Sect itself.

After he began raising capital, he immediately returned all interviewees' prepaid deposits and refused to accept any gifts—with his current status, those investors would definitely try every possible means to get closer to him. For instance, if he took an extra glance at a celebrity on TV, soon after, that celebrity would come over to cleanse herself, bringing along her idol peers as well.

Over at the Immortal Sect, they preach equality between immortals and mortals, but at the Blood God Sect, it just makes you shake your head.

Human interactions, especially the tactics of those below currying favor with those above, were something Meng Yu had already witnessed on Azure Star. To get acquainted with someone, a fat boss would accompany some minor official jogging every day, and a history-loving approval officer would be approached by beauties who understood the Ming Dynasty all too well!

When others need you, you are a god.

And that's in a world without transcendent powers, where, in theory, everyone is equal. But in this world ruled by transcendence, the so-called Standing in the Snow at Chengmen or the Three Visits to the Thatched Cottage are nothing; he must be more cautious—and he himself was not immune to temptation. Of course, he knew what to do.

But damn, those true sages of the Blood God Sect really knew how to do things beautifully!

Meng Yu bought Xia Hailu's residence on credit, and then the Golden Cores of the Blood God Sect directly purchased all the houses in the entire community.

Yes, the entire community—whether residences for Golden Cores or for Foundation Establishment, all the houses in the community were bought by those Golden Cores with the official help of the Blood God Sect.

The existing market price doubled; homeowners took the resources and left. They warned those who intended to speculate on the real estate market or wanted to become Meng Yu's neighbors to back off. Since Xiao Jun was no longer accepting any other gifts, they decided to treat this event as a major investment attraction initiative! Experience new stories on My Virtual Library Empire

Since they were 70% sure Xiao Jun was Meng Yu, they put effort into creating a good environment for him.

This was a very tricky affair: acquiring a core community on a core planet entailed numerous bigwigs in the background, tangled in various interest disputes, and even violating many regulations—which Blood God Sect managed to buy outright, giving the community, spanning hundreds of kilometers and covered by a Third Grade Great Formation, to Xiao Jun.

This was truly rewarding a horse in exchange for its bones!

Our Blood God Sect might be poor, but we are generous.

Whether it's the Immortal Sect or Guanghan Palace, or even within the Blood God Sect itself, look, as long as you are talented, we welcome you and offer proper treatment.

Even if Xiao Jun is not Meng Yu, they would accept it, letting the real Meng Yu see the kind of treatment he'd receive if he came to the Blood God Sect!

We might be poor and dispersed, but we have pride and ambition!

In the end, Meng Yu accepted this grand gift from the Blood God Sect.

Do not underestimate a well-built core residential area—it represents an extremely valuable wealth, with various infrastructures, Formations, including all kinds of decorations. The value already exceeded the total amount of Meng Yu's fundraising for a Third Grade Magical Treasure this time.

Such resources could elevate a Qi Refinement Practitioner from a mortal to a Nascent Soul!

You want to invest, afraid you can't keep up later? Let's start with comprehensive planning and show our sincerity in various ways!

And so, days went by. After a few more days, it was the completion ceremony for Xiao Jun's new residence to which many Golden Cores came to celebrate.

Although the entire community belonged to Meng Yu, where he could stay in any house at any time, he merely hired a professional company to clean and maintain the other properties, choosing still to live in Xia Hailu's courtyard.

The new residence was arranged with the Positive and Negative Five Elements Great Formation, alternating positive and negative, interconnected with each other. Its only flaw was that in addition to the Spirit Vein, it required Spirit Stones and sufficient manpower to operate at full potential.

"Welcome, welcome."

Meng Yu did not wish to hold this ceremony, but it's hard to turn away smiling faces; with everyone already there, he was exceedingly polite.

The Golden Core Masters dined not at a table for eight or ten but in a buffet-style gathering, people chatting in small groups, negotiating, obviously, a significant topic of conversation was when Xiao Jun planned to leave.

Before, Xiao Jun had made credit purchases from everyone for 260 Magic Artifacts.

Even Sword Cultivators need to have several weapons on hand during battle, let alone Golden Cores. Their weapons are even more varied and complex. The Immortal Sect delivered the first batch of weapons, but there was a significant shortfall, hence Meng Yu's procurement list specifying all sorts of requirements—not demanding a perfect match, but at least 80% similarity.

However, it was not a big problem; everything could be resolved.

Everyone understood that this was a way to woo them. Each Golden Core represented a force; even the Blood God Sect couldn't ignore their power, and after all, what was wrong with making legitimate profits?

There was also a reserve of several dozen, reserved for the embassy of the Immortal Sect on Ceres. Each Golden Core at the embassy had one or two investment quotas, with Huahua's quota being five.

Xiao Jun promised to sell the Magical Treasures to the Immortal Sect and to pay back twice the price in Spirit Stones within three months of repayment.

Most were happy; it was an unexpected windfall. Even the wealthy were pleased to have started a preliminary cooperation with Meng Yu, laying the groundwork for the future.
