Fatty said in rea.s.suring tones, “These alone could recruit ten experts of fourth-level Honor and above, without difficulty! Your Residence of Nine Supremes could be set up at any time, boss. I miss the crystals you wasted away even more now. How could you? How can you do that?”

Fourth-level Honor…

In all honesty, Yun Yang was not quite satisfied with this somewhat lowly rank.

It was simply impossible to contest for a lower cla.s.s Celestial Luck Banner by relying on a few measly fourth-level Honors. It might, however, be done with several Saints…

Yun Yang glared.

“Can you talk about something else? I’ll use my crystals however I like them… Are you certain it can be done so simply? Are you underestimating the challenge?”

Fatty chuckled and said, “It is truly that simple. Once the agreement is signed and before the amethyst’s energy is drained, no one will violate the contract. In other words, they won’t infringe the agreement for at least a hundred years!”

“I see. What I meant by succeeding and you underestimating it is regarding the acknowledgment you have about my purpose of establis.h.i.+ng the Residence of Nine Supremes. If it’s only about recruiting experts, I really don’t have to go to you, do I?”

“What I need are brothers who can toil and share my ambitions, not fighters who come to work for you for a piece of Celestial Amethyst! If that kind of fighter could work under me for a piece of Celestial Amethyst, who knows if they’ll stab my back for greater benefits? The sect I build is meant to soar into the nine heavens!” said Yun Yang lightly.

“Pardon? Soar into the nine heavens?” Qian Duoduo was stunned for a moment before he asked carefully, “May I ask your final destination?”

“My short term goal can be considered partially achieved if I can enter the Eastern Celestial Court…”

Yun Yang thought about it and felt that he should be more reserved. He should not be too boastful, he had just arrived here.

Fatty’s brain made an almost audible clanking sound. He fell to the ground with a thud and spoke in a wavering voice, “Big – big brother… let’s stop here for now… My head is spinning, I’m so dizzy…”

Fatty had seen from the beginning that his newly acknowledged boss was rather extraordinary. His way of doing things was not of the norm and he had a bag full of tricks. He had an oddly good eye as well, shrewd and perceptive. Other than the temporary unfamiliarity with the Bound of Universe, everything else about him was quite impressive.

He knew that his boss held monumental ambitions as well, but what he did not expect was his ambition to be so lofty… it seemed to have no limit!

The Eastern Celestial Palace! At least, in addition! Why not in subtraction? At least!

To make matters worse, that was only the short term goal… what was that about?

Did your parents know that you were so ambitious? That you thought so well and you could just go straight into heaven?

As Fatty chastised his sect leader inwardly, he saw Yun Yang hum and stand at the mountain’s tip as he stared at an area surrounded by faraway peaks. He spoke faintly, “I think that place is suitable. Mountains surround all three sides of it while one peak takes the limelight. Let’s head over and check it out. We’ll do it there if it’s fine.”

Yun Yang was already drifting towards the said destination as he spoke.

“Once our location has been set up, you try and sell these ten pieces of Celestial Amethyst out and build up our a.s.sets.”

“No!”

Fatty was panicking. Those were the Celestial Amethysts! How many people had not seen even one throughout their entire life? Now that they had it in possession, it was to be sold away?

‘This is investing in your enemies, you b.a.s.t.a.r.d!’

‘If you’re so brilliant, really, just go straight to heaven. Don’t hara.s.s my weak soul here in the mortal realm; I can’t take it!’

“Boss, let us discuss this. Can we not sell the Celestial Amethyst…”

“Pardon? Not sell them? How do we get our money then?”

“Well…”

“How do we establish our sect without money?”

“Well…”

“What ambitions and goals are we talking about if we can’t even set up the sect?”

“Right, well…”

“Besides, I’ve only given you ten pieces. You won’t a.s.sume that there are only ten of these would you?”

“Excuse me?”

“Yet, you dare say that I’m an idiot?! Tell me, who’s the idiot now?”

“Me, I’m the idiot. As long as you still have the divine crystals, I’m happy to be an idiot… Do you really have more in your possession?”

“Enough with all this nonsense. Tell me, how many spiritual jade pieces can a single Celestial Amethyst be traded for? If so many crystals emerge in the market suddenly, will its value depreciate?”

Yun Yang knew now that the universal currency of cultivators in the Bound of Universe was spiritual jade and spiritual pearls; they were divided into lower, middle, upper and superior cla.s.s.

A middle-cla.s.s spiritual jade was equal to a hundred lower cla.s.s of its kind, while an upper-cla.s.s jade could be exchanged with one hundred middle-cla.s.s jade pieces. The superior cla.s.s spiritual jade was the rarest, was almost impossible to find and was equal to ten thousand upper-cla.s.s spiritual jade pieces. The higher cla.s.s a spiritual jade was, the higher its purchasing ability would be. This meant that ten thousand upper-cla.s.s spiritual jade shards could not actually be equivalent to a piece of a superior cla.s.s spiritual jade.

In spite of this, the circulating currency was more often than not the lower cla.s.s spiritual jade. Those that Lei Dongtian had given to Yun Yang, for example, were pieces of lower cla.s.s jade.

As for spiritual pearls, they were the bits and pieces of the spiritual jade’s remains. They were circulated only among common citizens, exchanged for gold and silver.

“A piece of Celestial Amethyst can be sold for about… three thousand pieces of upper-cla.s.s spiritual jade. Depreciation will definitely not happen. This thing is invaluable. No matter how high the supply is, there’s always constant demand…” Fatty’s reply sounded uncertain.

“Just three thousand pieces of upper-cla.s.s spiritual jade? That’s not a lot. Three pieces of Celestial Amethyst can’t even redeem a piece of superior cla.s.s spiritual jade and here I was thinking that it’s so valuable…”

Yun Yang was rather dissatisfied with the number.

“Big brother, do you think that anyone would have three thousand pieces of upper-cla.s.s spiritual jade on their person? Common traders will never barter with upper-cla.s.s spiritual jade! Three thousand pieces of upper-cla.s.s jade are not considered meager. The Celestial Amethysts are precious and are called items of fantasy, but they are consumable, after all. This price tag is just about right.”

Fatty’s irritation was genuine with regards to Yun Yang’s recognition of this realm’s commodity prices.

“As for the superior cla.s.s spiritual jade… the Celestial Amethyst has somehow appeared. The superior cla.s.s spiritual jade, however, has never made its presence known! What do you think?”

“Cough, these ten pieces should be enough then?”

“More than enough! This is an extremely vast sum of wealth!”

Yun Yang made a rough calculation as he listened to the fatty – a piece of upper-cla.s.s spiritual jade was ten thousand pieces of lower cla.s.s spiritual jade while three thousand pieces of upper-cla.s.s spiritual jade meant… thirty million pieces of lower cla.s.s spiritual jade?

Thirty million?

Indeed.

That was not such a small sum after all, then.

“Furthermore, this was the previous market price. There haven’t been any Celestial Amethyst pieces for a long time now in the market!”

Fatty was br.i.m.m.i.n.g with confidence, his gaze glistening with a golden glimmer.

“As long as time and opportunity are given to me, especially now when the news about the Celestial Amethysts emerging is all over the place, I can totally use these ten pieces of Celestial Amethyst to stack up a city made up of a million lower cla.s.s spiritual jades!”

“Boss, how much more do you have?” Fatty was obviously an avaricious man.

He was quite elated. His boss’ tone and the spatial ring was given to him earlier were evidence that these were only a straw in a haystack. Did this not mean that he had a considerable amount of Celestial Amethysts on him then?

Oh G.o.d, the news was not only overwhelming, but it was also mind-blowing and simply earthshattering!

Fatty felt like he would not be able to rest in peace if he did not get to the bottom of this.

“As long as you complete this task well, I can let you hang a piece each on both your ears, your neck, your wrists and ankles, and even the front and back of your groin. Would that be sufficient?”
