I Am Really Not The Son of Providence - Chapter 240
Chapter 240: Economic Value Of The God Of War Pagoda
Just who was Ye Qingcang?
He was definitely a sly old fox that had lived for over 10,000 years.
With just a look from him at Zhang Longyuan and Chu Longhe, he knew what the two of them were scheming.
He said calmly, “The God of War Pagoda had already recognized Shen Tian as its master. Thus, wherever Shen Tian goes, that’s where the pagoda shall be.
“If Shen Tian is willing, your disciples of the sacred ground can enter the pagoda for the trial at will, but of course, it’s not for free.
“Since Tian’er is from your sacred ground, then the disciples of your sacred ground and the both of you can enter the pagoda’s trial an unlimited number of times.
“As for the bet in the pagoda arena, I can at most give you a 30% discount.
“Also, Tian’er told me previously that he wanted to open the God of War Pagoda to the whole of Eastern Wilderness or even the five regions.
“It is not impossible, but I have a condition. Outsiders must pay the bet in full.
“Also, 50% of the profits obtained must be converted into Spirit Stones to restore the God of War Pagoda. You cannot embezzle any of it.
“The remaining 50% will go to Shen Tian. It’ll be up to him how he splits it with you.”
The Divine Firmament Sacred Leader nodded and said, “Since the God of War Pagoda has already recognized Tian’er as its master, then it’s Tian’er’s treasure.
“Senior Ye is already looking after our Divine Firmament by letting the disciples undergo the trial with a 30% discount. How could we be thick-skinned and continue splitting the profit?
“That’s the least I can do. If Senior Ye does not mind, then you can place the pagoda in the Divine Firmament’s Small World.
“I can issue invitations to the five regions in the name of the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground, inviting all the geniuses.
“The treasures obtained from those geniuses betting will belong to Senior Ye and Tian’er.”
The Sacred Leader’s offer astonished Ye Qingcang. He did not believe that the Sacred Leader was that dumb not to know just how frighteningly huge the profit would be.
One had to know, the God of War Pagoda was the supreme treasure within the five regions, and countless people had entered the Primordial Battlefield in the past 10,000 years just to search for it.
Once the God of War Pagoda appeared in the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground, it would definitely attract all major sects’ geniuses. They would fight to enter the trial.
By then, the God Of War List might even become an existence that could be compared to the “Golden Core List” and “Nascent Soul List”, becoming one of the important factors for the major sects to measure the strength of geniuses.
Meanwhile, the bets’ wager in the arena after those geniuses entered the God of War Pagoda was a fortune that even a sacred ground would covet.
However, the Divine Firmament Sacred Leader, Zhang Longyuan, had given it up without hesitation at all.
Ye Qingcang could not help but exclaim inwardly, Just to what extent did he cultivate the “Heavenly Dao Sutra” to? Does he not like even money?
…
Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus looked at the Sacred Leader’s righteous expression—his face was even turning green from thinking about the amount of money lost.
F*ck, f*ck, f*ck!
Why did I not accept this kid as my disciple back then?
If he was my disciple, then I would have the qualifications to take a share of the profit.
Zhang Longyuan must have gone crazy to actually not want money, I’m about to go crazy from anger!
As for Heavenly Venerable White Lotus, she was looking at the Sacred Leader currently. Her face was full of respect and admiration for him. She could not help but be astonished by his lofty morals and noble character.
Shen Tian said in embarrassment, “Master, I would need to trouble the sacred ground to publicize for the God of War Pagoda, so it would be improper of me to not split any profit with the sacred ground!”
The Sacred Leader shook his head.
“Tian’er, nothing can be accomplished without norms or standards, so naturally, I cannot take the profits obtained from the God of War Pagoda bets.
“However, do you think that the profits that could be obtained from the God of War Pagoda are only limited to the wager of those geniuses that enter the God of War Pagoda?
“Then you’re wrong. If the God of War Pagoda is really within our sect, then the profits are definitely so much more.”
As his heavenly aura lightly swayed, the Sacred Leader explained to everyone.
“Firstly, the God of War Pagoda is an item from the Celestial World, so it is the most precious supreme treasure of the five regions. Thus, it has great ornamental value.
“I believe once it is put on display in our sect to the outside, countless cultivators will be attracted. They will come and admire it.
“Those people might not be geniuses and not have the qualifications to enter the pagoda, but that’s not important.
“All who come are guests. Our sect could arrange in-name disciples to receive them and build a scenic pagoda spot.
“The revenue from this scenic spot would be quite the amount as it includes accommodation, recorded images, paid images, and so on.
“With the price of a few Spirit Stones, Divine Firmament’s disciples could activate the Image Recording Crystal to record one’s good memories with the Immortal artifact.
“Then we could write some legendary experiences of those powerful cultivators that have visited the pagoda and produce copies of recorded battles between geniuses. I think most cultivators would be willing to spend money to buy something like that!”
Shen Tian was dumbfounded. He could not help but give the Sacred Leader a thumbs-up.
As expected of Master!
Others would think of using the Immortal artifact to beat people up or guard the sect, but you actually plan to make the immortal artifact into a scenic spot?
Are you sure that you did not obtain the inspiration from the Sonic Thunder Sacred Ground?
The Sacred Leader added, “Secondly, if the God of War Pagoda is in our sect, then the overall strength of our disciples will increase greatly, especially true disciples. Their battle experience will far surpass those disciples of other sects from the continuous battles with the prodigies in the pagoda.
“In the course of time, at least our sect’s disciples will not be frightened out of their wits when they encounter all kinds of enemies.
“As such, we can avoid injuries and the deaths of disciples. These are things that just a few measly treasures could be compared with.”
Heavenly Venerable White Lotus nodded fervently.
Senior Brother Sacred Leader indeed has great benevolence! He thinks of the safety of the sacred ground’s disciples as his own responsibility. How could he be this kind!?
The Sacred Leader continued.
“Thirdly, to geniuses, evenly matched battles are the fastest way to improve.
“Our sect’s disciples will have a 30% discount when entering the pagoda arena’s trial. This is a temptation to anyone. Our attraction toward the five regions’ geniuses will increase greatly with the God of War Pagoda!
“As long as there’s an endless supply of highly-talented disciples, then there’s no need to worry that the sacred ground might not prosper!”
Heavenly Venerable Scarlet Dance seemed to be deep in thought.
When she had become famous, quite a few sacred grounds had wanted her to join them. She had entered the Jade Lake Sacred Ground because there was an array formation in there that was best suited for females to cultivate.
If the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground had a supreme treasure such as the God of War Pagoda then, she might have chosen the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground directly.
To true geniuses, a treasure like the God of War Pagoda was definitely a great temptation.
The Divine Firmament Sacred Leader was undoubtedly a Paragon of the generation. He actually had such profound insights!
Seeing that everyone was listening attentively, the lightning and heavenly aura around the Sacred Leader swayed even more intensively.
He said calmly, “Also, a restriction has long been set. Only the one that obtained the God of War Pagoda’s heritage can cultivate it.
“That’s to say, if a certain genius discovered a supreme technique of their sect that had been lost for a long time in the God of War Pagoda, the sect would definitely try its best to retrieve it.
“By then, the sacred ground would be willing to negotiate on Senior Ye and Tian’er’s behalf. We will not take any of the profits obtained.
“What the sacred ground needs is the favor for finding the heritage of those sacred grounds, grotto-heavens, and blessed-lands.
“These favors are a great benefit for the sacred ground’s development in the future.”
…
Even Ye Qingcang was stunned as he listened to the Sacred Leader speak with such ease and fluency.
This kid… He didn’t have such ideas previously.
How come only after 1,000 years, this kid turned this smart? I’m so not used to this change!
Then he took a look at Azure Lotus beside the Sacred Leader, who only knew how to nod.
Ye Qingcang secretly shook his head.
It makes sense that this First Senior Brother did not become the Sacred Leader.
This is the difference in intellect!
