Chapter 264: Becoming a Billionaire! Once-in-a-Millennium Group Task, Shaking the Crowd (Part 2)
However, Lin Fan still had some hesitation.
Seeing this, the four sect leaders grew anxious and urged their sect masters to continue.
(Chapter End)
The four Sect Masters felt their scalps tingle.
Are we really going to continue with this?
But... how?
For a moment, no one had any ideas.
"Ahem."
"Friend, do you have any other suggestions?"
"Well..." Lin Fan contemplated, "What you all said is excellent. However, many of these ideas require a long time to accumulate before we can see results. As for my Moon Embrace Sect, with our internal struggles and external threats..."
"Alas, it's embarrassing to say."
"I won't hide it from you all. As you may have already heard, someone impersonated my incompetent senior disciple and killed the Bright Moon Sect's Holy Son..."
Everyone's faces turned pale.
Ah, yes, yes, yes.
Your senior disciple is incompetent.
I believe your lies!
But there's a detail here.
When the fake Xiao Ling'er killed Lu Zhicai, no one questioned her identity.
What does this mean? It means that everyone knew Xiao Ling'er's strength far surpassed that of the Bright Moon Holy Son, and even exceeded that of his protector! Otherwise, anyone would have doubted Xiao Ling'er's identity.
So...
A young girl in her twenties, who defeated the Holy Son, a group of disciples, and even a protector, yet no one found it suspicious. And you call her incompetent?
We also want such an incompetent disciple!
Damn! They were filled with complaints.
But then, Lin Fan continued, "Fortunately, through our relentless efforts, we discovered the truth and learned that it was the Shi Clan and the Rain Clan from the Northeastern Domain who were behind this."
"This matter has not yet concluded, and no one knows when the war will start again."
"Therefore, I believe that in the near future, our Moon Embrace Sect will have to take action against the Shi Clan. This..."
The four Sect Masters suddenly realized.
Having said so much, if they still didn't understand, they would be fools.
"How dare they!"
Zhou Kai slammed the table, "What's so special about the Shi Clan? Can an Immortal Ancient Clan bully others just because of their status?"
"The Northeastern Domain forces come to our Southwestern Domain to show off and harm our Southwestern Domain sects. Do they think we have no one to defend us?"
"This is intolerable. Lin, when your sect takes action, please let me know!"
"I, Zhou Kai, despise such scoundrels the most. When the time comes, I will bring my sect's strong cultivators to assist. Let's see what the Shi Clan can do!"
Damn, this old man is truly shameless.
Qu SiFei, Qian Yinyang, and Rao ZhiRou secretly cursed in their hearts... They were all familiar with Zhou Kai's character.
If someone called him a heinous person, that would be an exaggeration, but if they said that Zhou Kai was a righteous man who stood up for the Southwestern Domain sects...
That would be complete nonsense.
Hearing his 'righteous' and 'unbending' speech at this moment made them feel like vomiting.
"Hmph."
"Count me in, Moon Holding Palace."
They might want to vomit, but the spiritual herbs were indeed tempting...
Qian Yinyang immediately expressed his support, "When the time comes, I will personally lead people to assist you!"
"My sect doesn't have much, but we have many people and beasts." Qu SiFei spoke in a low voice, "An Immortal Ancient Clan? That's like a top-tier Shi Clan? I'd like to see what they're capable of."
Rao ZhiRou smiled lightly, "We sword cultivators, why fear a battle?"
"Thank you, all four of you."
"Then it's settled!"
Lin Fan was 'overjoyed', "Within a month, my sect's disciples with bloodline divine abilities will visit you one by one!"
"Excellent!"
The four were also delighted, "We will return immediately and prepare the medicinal fields and spirit herb seeds."
"..."
...
Until they left the Moon Embrace Sect, the members of the four sects were still in a state of euphoria, feeling refreshed.
Everyone was satisfied!
Although the Five Elements Gate and the Moon Holding Palace didn't manage to establish a connection with the White-Black Academy, in their current situation, being able to connect with the Moon Embrace Sect was already a great achievement.
There were many benefits.
The future looked promising, indeed!
However, before they had walked far, Jian Zi, the junior who hadn't had a chance to speak, suddenly asked, "Master, I have a question."
"What is it? Speak."
Rao ZhiRou was in a great mood, and with a wave of her delicate hand, she smiled in response.
"It's just..."
"What is it, Jian Zi?"
"The Spirit Sword Sect's medicinal cultivation path is not particularly outstanding. Why do we need so many spirit herbs?" Jian Zi asked, voicing his confusion.
"Silly child."
Rao ZhiRou couldn't help but laugh.
The others also laughed upon hearing this.
"Jian Zi is still young and doesn't cultivate the way of medicine. It's normal for him not to understand."
"Indeed."
"The way of medicine cultivation depends on two things: talent and resources."
"Without talent, there's no need to discuss it. But even with talent, without resources, it's useless. Whether it's our Spirit Sword Sect or the other sects, why aren't we outstanding in medicinal cultivation? It's because we lack the necessary resources!"
"It seems that our several major sects are not weak and have abundant resources. But with so many people, when divided equally, it's still insufficient."
"That's right. Due to the lack of resources, the pill masters in our various sects must be 'conservative'. The pills they refine are not enough for everyone, so how can we take risks and use these spirit herbs to cultivate pill masters?"
"But if we have a large number of spirit herbs, we will have enough to cultivate pill masters. I believe that after some time, our pill masters will..."
However, Jian Zi shook his head, his face full of 'innocence' as he said, "I understand what the seniors are saying."
"I didn't mean that."
"I want to ask..."
"Since we've already come to the Moon Embrace Sect, why do we need to go the long way and pay a price just to ask the Moon Embrace Sect's disciples to help cultivate spirit herbs, instead of directly finding a way to cooperate with the Moon Embrace Sect and purchase pills from them?"
"This?!"
Rao ZhiRou was taken aback.
Qu SiFei suddenly froze in mid-air.
Qian Yinyang's eyebrows twitched.
Zhou Kai's body trembled.
The elders and disciples of the various sects all turned around, looking at Jian Zi.
"You...”
“What did you say?”
"About the pills?”
Sword Son was bewildered: "Why are you all looking at me with such expressions?"
"The Bright Moon Sect’s pill dao is renowned, isn’t it common knowledge?"
He scratched his head, his face full of confusion and bewilderment: "My Grandmaster Xiao Ling’er is already a Grand Master of Alchemy. I think she’s not far from becoming a Grand Master of Alchemy."
"Didn’t you all know this?"
Everyone was flabbergasted.
This...
They really knew.
But, how could they have forgotten this?
"Moreover, the disciples of the Bright Moon Sect, even the service disciples, receive three pills of 7th grade or higher every month that match their current realm..." Sword Son spread his hands, "Didn’t you all know this?"
What the heck, there’s such a thing???
They were greatly surprised.
The accompanying Heavenly Pride, like Fire Element Woman, trembled all over.
Oh my god, the service disciples are treated so well?
Then, wouldn’t the regular disciples be eating 9th grade pills like candy???
"Alright, even if you didn’t know, you must have heard about the Pill Tower battle that was all the rage, right?"
Sword Son was truly speechless. What was wrong with these people? Why seek far when something is right here?
"Don’t you know that the Pill Emperor who ‘made a strong comeback’ is my Grandmaster’s teacher? My Grandmaster or Grandmaster can say a word, and the Pill Tower will pay serious attention?"
"Compared to painstakingly cultivating spirit herbs and practicing slowly..."
"Why not directly cooperate with the Bright Moon Sect to buy high-quality pills?"
Everyone’s mouths were agape, their expressions extremely peculiar.
Right!
Why?!
We clearly knew this.
Why did no one think of this?
This isn’t seeking far when something is right here.
This is clearly a sign of a flawed mind!
This, this, this...
No, what about our minds???
They suddenly felt there was a problem, and a big one.
Their minds were ‘gone’!
However...
Absolutely cannot admit it, or how embarrassing would that be?
"Hem."
"Younger generation, you don’t understand." Zhou Kai stiffened, of course, his mouth even stiffer: "As the saying goes, it’s better to have it from one’s own parents than from others. How can bought pills compare to those you refine yourself? Besides, what if one day they stop selling?"
"Moreover, buying finished products is definitely more expensive than buying half-finished products!"
"Reasonable!"
Sword Son nodded, but then immediately countered, leaving Zhou Kai almost speechless: "However, the most crucial aspect of refining pills is talent. Who can guarantee that the talent of their pill refiners can match my Grandmaster and the others?"
"Refining them yourself is indeed cheaper, but since we are all cooperating and forming alliances, and we’ve already paid a price, can’t we negotiate a bulk discount?"
"Furthermore, the materials for failed pill refning are also costs!"
"Regarding long-term..."
"We can always sign a long-term contract!"
"Besides, even if you cultivate your own pill refiners, who can guarantee ‘long-term’? What if they die of old age? What if an accident happens? What if they ascend?"
"..."
"Little friend!!!"
Zhou Kai’s mouth was agape, his eyes slanted, his limbs tingled: "Stop talking!"
"In short..."
"You don’t understand."
Damn, if you keep talking, I’ll start to doubt whether I’m turning into a moron!
You think I don’t understand?
I can’t admit it now, or wouldn’t all that previous excitement turn into a joke?
Rao Zhi Rou, a woman, didn’t have as much face, so after considering for a moment, she said: "Disciple, do you think we should head back... Is it still in time?"
?”
Everyone:: "..."
They ultimately didn’t go back.

But, on the way back, only’s ears of the,, the Bright Moon Sect’s eyes shone.
distance away, they were all doubting their own lives.
This matter.
00 this thing is so simple...
How could it be in front of us, yet, we didn’t think of this?
?
And the way back, they were all doubting their own lives.
So simple.
The simplest principles...
Such clear things are clearly laid out, all, yet, we didn’t think of this?
And on the way back, Sword Son’s ears swelled.
Listening to ‘why didn’t you say this earlier?’
"Sixth Elder, please leave slowly."
"I’ll wait for good news."
Old Six left with good vibes, laughing as he went.
And before leaving, he kindly expressed that Lin Fan’s future was limitless.
"Wonderful!"
"Cough, cough, cough."
"Sure!"
"For the people, by the people, for the people."
"This wave, this wave, everyone made a profit, only the Bright Moon Sect lost a lot, even more!"
"Indeed..."
Almost becoming the ‘richest man’!
All kinds of ‘plans’ were nearly perfectly carried out.
Simply exhilarating.
"After the matters at hand are resolved, I’ll gather everyone and head to the Shi Clan and the Rain Clan!
"To give moral support to Number Ten."
At the same time..."
"We also..."
"It’s time to officially announce the true comeback of the Bright Moon Sect!"
"If the Stone Clan can be persuaded, the Bright Moon Sect won’t be nothing to fear, and we can even..."
Ling Fan immediately took out the Sound Transmission Jade Talisman, contacting Su Yan.
"Su Yan, you come here, I have something to discuss."
"Master?"
"Master?"
Su Yan, surprised: "So coincidental? I was just about to find Master."
"Master, what is it that you want?"
"Master, it’s like this."
Immediately, Lin Fan helped him to his feet, as he smiled, Then, he said: "Master, if not for the matter of ten days, I might really not live much longer than a month."
Speaking of which, this might be considered human trafficking. But fortunately, Lin Fan didn't have a moral complex.
Moreover, for those wood elves, this might not be a bad thing. Perhaps they would even be willing?
For example, Lilith was quite happy and enjoyed staying in the Immortal Martial Continent.
"Well, I didn't ask them, but I think it shouldn't be a problem." Su Yan smiled and said, "My group friend isn't very strong, and it's not a cultivation world. The resources and treasures that are common in our Immortal Martial Continent are extremely rare over there."
"So, this shouldn't be difficult."
"Then ask for me."
"Yes, Master."
Su Yan immediately asked in the group.
I, Saintess Knight, replied instantly: "Using cultivation techniques, magical artifacts, and resources from the immortal world in exchange for wood elves?"
Su Yan: "Yes, is it possible?"
I, Saintess Knight: "Is it okay? Take it, big shot! Sure, it's too easy, I can get as many as you want... Er, I mean, I can get you as many as I can!"
"Moreover, this is their fortune. The wood elves are having a hard time. Their mother tree has been destroyed, and they can only survive by hiding. If they can go to the cultivation world, they will definitely not refuse."
Su Yan: "It's not necessary to have so many. For now, we only need four... Eh? Wait, let me ask."
......
"They're having such a hard time?"
Lin Fan was surprised. "Then let's ask them if they're willing. If they are, let's bring them all over. Although we only need four for the exchange, the wood elves are skilled in cultivating spiritual herbs, so keeping them would be beneficial."
"I think so too."
Su Yan immediately discussed and agreed with Saintess Knight.
They exchanged a cultivation technique, a spiritual weapon flying sword, and ten pills each from the first to fifth stages, for the wood elf race.
Saintess Knight was so excited that she almost jumped up and agreed right away.
"Wood elves..."
Song Ru was curious: "Su Yan, what do you need so many wood elves for? Could it be... (Men will understand) How about giving me one?"
Si Wu Ya: "If that's the case, I want one too..."
Su Yan: "I can give one to each of you, but don't get any ideas. It's not for that reason. They're very special and can cultivate spiritual herbs."
Song Ru: "I understand, I get it."
Si Wu Ya: "Hehehe, I understand too."
Su Yan: "..."
I, Saintess Knight: "Don't worry, big shot, I'll go pack up the wood elves right away! But big shot, do you want a mermaid? Although the lower half is a fish, the upper half is really beautiful, and the figure is great!"
"I've been eyeing the mermaid princess for a long time!"
"Just ask, and I'll bring her to you."
"Whether you keep her as a pet or let her showcase her talents, it's worth it. Rest assured, I'll give you a discount, it's very cheap!"
Su Yan: "???"
"You!!!"
Song Ru: "I'm curious, what is the 'talent' of the mermaid?"
Si Wu Ya: "You don't know? It's her throat!"
Song Ru: "Throat???"
Su Yan: "..."
Wow, if these guys keep chatting, they might have to be censored!
He quickly changed the topic: "Yes, the throat. Who doesn't know that the mermaid princess has a beautiful singing voice? But I really don't need her!"
Little Magic Scholar: "Yes, big shot doesn't need her! But big shot, look at me, look at me."
"I've also been eyeing a few saintesses and the princesses of the Magic Empire. They're all very beautiful and are still pure. At most, we'll wait a few more months. Once my strength increases, I can bring them all here. Then, hehehe..."
Su Yan: "???"
"Damn, I'm not a human trafficker!"
Su Yan was speechless.
How did it feel like his image had already been completely ruined and was beyond salvation?
Helplessly, he could only change the topic again: "Knight, there's no need to rush the wood elf matter. Let's wait and discuss it later."
"After all, the once-in-a-millennium group quest is about to begin, and none of us have experience in it. We should prepare in advance."
"Let's talk about it after this matter is settled, so you don't get left out."
"!!!"
I, Saintess Knight: "That's right, thanks for the reminder, big shot. I'll ask for your help later."
Cold Ming Guang: "Hehehe... This old man can't wait."
"..."
......
"It's settled, but it will take some time."
Su Yan smiled bitterly: "This is also related to my search for a master."
"Oh? Tell me more." Lin Fan raised his eyebrows.
Su Yan immediately informed them of the 'settings' of the once-in-a-millennium group quest and said, "Currently, there's very little information because the group friends I know well and have good relations with haven't participated in it before."
"What we can confirm now is: one, the group quest will begin in two days."
"Two, group members from the same 'world' will be sent to the same world."
"Three, group members are not prohibited from killing each other."
"Four, each group member can bring two helpers."
"Also... five, there's an Eighth Stage old guy whose strength is unknown who has taken an interest in me. He will definitely make a move against me."
"..."
"I understand."
Lin Fan nodded slightly, and his eyes narrowed.
It was normal for the protagonist template to encounter trouble.
At the same time, the protagonist template's troubles were often proportional to the benefits. This was a good opportunity!
"Who do you want to invite?"
Lin Fan asked.
"Well..."
Su Yan scratched his head, feeling a bit embarrassed: "I'd like to trouble Master and Second Senior Brother to make a trip, cough."
"Oh?"
Lin Fan looked at him intently, a faint smile appearing on his lips: "You're quite thoughtful."
