Chapter 428: Greed Knows No Bounds - Lu Yiye
fidential secret tome. Even the most powerful sects would treasure it immensely and wouldn't sell it casually. Why would they go around peddling it>>There's no need to rush. We can wait until he finis...If he were in the Nine Realms, an elder of the True Lake realm could easily subdue someone like Lu Ye, who was only at the Lingxi realm.

"Get to the point!" Lu Ye interrupted his endless chatter.
The old man didn't mind. After some thought, he spoke: “If you young friend are not planning to attack our Zijin Gate base, our Zijin Gate is willing to pay for your peace!”
"Breaking the curse, warding off misfortune, that is the ultimate goal of the old man coming to seek Lu Ye."
"Quote!"
The refreshing feeling of Lu Ye's outburst left the elder slightly stunned. He had originally prepared a speech to appeal to his emotions and reason with him.
"Five million merits' worth of property!"
Lu Ye turned his head to look at the old man, his breath gradually becoming dangerous.
The elder felt a shiver run down his spine and hurriedly said, “Young friend, please calm down. It is true that if you break through our Zijin Gate stronghold, the merits you would receive would be far more than 50,000, even 500,000! But as I said before, once our Zijin Gate stronghold is breached, there will be a group of homeless people who suffer. They will definitely unite with others whose strongholds have been broken and launch an attack on the Haotian Alliance strongholds together. I believe you don't want to see such a situation happen. Since we are treating this matter as a business deal, then naturally we should each take a step back.”
If you think the Purple Gate Garrison is only worth 50,000 honor points, then there's no need to waste our time.
The old man smiled and said, "The Zi Jin Men's stronghold naturally has more than 50,000 contributions. The sect has worked hard for generations over the years, and the contributions spent on the stronghold are countless. If it were only our Zi Jin Men alone, forget 50,000, even 500,000 we Zi Jin Men would be willing to contribute. But have you ever thought about how many Wan Mo Ling sects there are in the entire core circle"
Lu Ye frowned. "What do you mean"
"That means that if you agree, the other Demonic Valley sects should also be willing to spend money to avoid disaster. Five thousand for each family, think about it, just this one time, how much wealth could it bring you"
Seeing Lu Ye's silence, the elder opened his mouth and said: "Let me give you a simple calculation, young friend. In the nine states of Kyushu, each state has about ten first-class sects, twenty to thirty second-class sects, and forty to fifty third-class sects. Adding these together, a conservative estimate is eighty to one hundred sects. This is only one state. The total of nine states is roughly eight hundred to one thousand sects above the third rank. If the Haotian Alliance and Wanmo Ridge divide equally, Wanmo Ridge would have four or five hundred. If each sect contributes 50,000 merit points worth of wealth, then what you can get is a full two million plus merit points! With this calculation, do you still feel like it's too little"
What kind of wealth, worth tens or hundreds of millions, could be called such an abundance of resources
You should know that his Panshan sword was bought from the Heavenly Mechanism Treasure Vault originally, costing only 138 merit points. Among the Nine Forbidden Spiritual Artifacts, this is already considered a relatively high price.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
As for that補竅丹, it now only takes 160,000 merit points for one. With two or three million, you could buy hundreds of them... Of course, the Heavenly Treasure Vault is almost out of stock, with only a few left.
"So, my friend, don't think I'm being stingy by offering only 50,000 merit points from the Zijin Gate. This is after much deliberation on my part. If you insist on a higher price, who among the major factions in Wanmo Ridge would dare to give it to you At that point, perhaps the forces here in Wanmo Ridge would rather risk their strongholds than offer so many valuables, and end up raising a monster."
"Are you sure that other Wanmo Ridge forces are also willing to spend money to appease the disaster" Lu Ye asked.
The elder stroked his beard and smiled: "Last time, my young friend caused quite a stir inside the inner circle. The Wanmo Ridge is precisely using this method to quell things. Compared to the losses of a besieged base, what are some lost possessions You have to know that every core circle base is the result of generations, even decades of effort."
Lu Ye nodded.
Although the old man didn't explicitly state it, Lu Ye vaguely guessed that something of a consensus had been reached in Wanmo Ridge. This old man seemed to be representing Zijinmen today to negotiate with him, but in reality, the entire Wanmo Ridge stood behind him! What he proposed as "spending money to avoid disaster" should be the best solution Wanmo Ridge could accept right now.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Well, that's not a bad idea either.
Before this, Lu Ye had been worried that continuing to attack the Wanmo Ridge strongholds would lead to unforeseen consequences. He was afraid that it might implicate other forces within the Haotian Alliance, and that Wanmo Ridge would opt for a costly solution to appease the situation. Although his own gains would be significantly reduced, this approach would avoid causing major trouble and chaos.
Moreover, speaking of his accomplishments, they all need to be converted into sect merits. They are not comparable to the material wealth that can be used in cultivation. to lure the insect race in, it's not necessarily safe. Once the number of insects reaches a certain level, they could potentially break through our defenses, leading to heavy casualties among the cul...
