No Chance for Ma Liang to Turn the Tables!
Ma Liang's perfect understanding indeed brought him a perfect score.
One hundred per person and one hundred at a time are two completely different concepts.
Chu Xinghe was overjoyed. "Junior Brother Ma Liang, I can't compare to you!"
Senior brother, I think getting a hundred at once is already incredible, but you getting a hundred for each person is just outrageous!
Look, people outside are going crazy over this news.
Those who had previously contacted Ma Liang and wanted to send their disciples in for safe cultivation were furious when they heard the news that each person would receive 100 spirit stones.
What's going on? Didn't your Vast Heaven Sect promise to be rich and powerful?
Have you guys never seen money before?
Look at this price yourselves, isn't it a bit outrageous?
For a time, you could hear people talking about it everywhere on the main street of Central Province.
"Has Ma Liang gone mad? One hundred spirit stones per person? Is this some kind of trial for his disciples? What kind of trial is this?!"
"This Ma Liang is absolutely insane!"
"No, no, I don't think this matter has much to do with Ma Liang. How could a nobody like Ma Liang be qualified to handle something so important?"
"That's right! I heard that Chu Xinghe has arrived in Central Continent City, and some people have seen Chu Xinghe. So I think this matter must be related to Chu Xinghe."
"Only Chu Xinghe is qualified to make such a decision."
After discussion, the various sects concluded that this was definitely Chu Xinghe's idea.
But if this was Chu Xinghe's doing, then the significance of this matter would be completely different.
The people from each sect sat down and had a proper discussion.
It's well known that Chu Xinghe's bizarre actions are legendary, whether it's in Spirit City or in recruiting disciples.
Every single time he makes a move, he leaves everyone completely bewildered.
But what was the result?
When has the Vast Heaven Sect not reaped a great harvest?
Therefore, it's somewhat puzzling that Chu Xinghe offered such outrageous conditions this time!
Is Chu Xinghe about to make another move? What new tricks will he pull this time?
In the end, everyone unanimously decided to Watch Quietly as Things Change!
In Martial Emperor City, Zheng Yu's face lit up with ecstasy as he looked at the message delivered by the spirit bird.
As expected! Senior Brother Xinghe has made his move again!
After Senior Brother Xinghe obtained the Fengdu Token, Zheng Yu had been pondering how Senior Brother Xinghe would deal with Fengdu City.
Put it away?
No! That's not Senior Brother Xinghe's style. And indeed, just as Zheng Yu guessed, this time Vast Heaven Sect really didn't shut down Fengdu City, but instead poured a lot of resources into maintaining it.
There were previous rumors that batches of disciples from the Vast Heaven Sect were able to rapidly improve themselves after entering the sect.
Zheng Yu was also tempted, and even sent someone to Central Province to inquire, but the answer he received was that Fengdu City was not open to the public for the time being.
This left Zheng Yu somewhat disappointed.
And now, the news has finally arrived.
But only one hundred spirit stones per person?
Thinking about this, Zheng Yu couldn't help but frown. This price was a bit hard to accept.
After all, although Martial Emperor City is a large and powerful family, how much does an inner disciple of Martial Emperor City normally consume in a year? Why would it suddenly cost one hundred spirit stones?
After pondering for a moment, Zheng Yu gritted her teeth and stomped her foot!
Arrange!
It must be arranged! Last time, I didn't understand what Senior Brother Xinghe meant, which resulted in the Demonic Sect incident. This time, everyone thinks Senior Brother Xinghe's price is outrageous, but Zheng Yu thinks the opposite.
Senior Brother Xinghe must have a deeper meaning in doing this. If one hundred spirit stones can really bring about a transformation in his disciple, then no matter how you look at it, it's a win-win situation.
Zheng Yu immediately sought out Cheng Xiaotian, and after listening to Zheng Yu's analysis, Cheng Xiaotian nodded in agreement.
Zheng Yu is quite clever. Although he's not quite as good as Chu Xinghe, he was able to anticipate Chu Xinghe's thoughts so early. Zheng Yu has Future ahead of him.
Although it hurt a bit to spend 100 yuan on each person, Cheng Xiaotian still chose to believe Zheng Yu.
However, for safety's sake, Cheng Xiaotian's idea was to first send in a small number of disciples, and if the effect was as Zheng Yu said, then send in a large number of disciples.
Although Zheng Yu was slightly dissatisfied with his master's idea, he had no choice but to agree.
Master, you're so confused!
Every move Senior Brother Xinghe makes is unpredictable and imaginative... By the time everyone has truly seen through his plans, will he still have a chance to strike?
But Zheng Yu couldn't say that, since it was his master, right? So Zheng Yu could only do as his master asked.
News from Fengdu City quickly reached the Vast Heaven Sect.
The Grand Elder was completely dumbfounded after reading the message.
Isn't 100 yuan per person a bit too much?
More importantly, what does it mean that Xinghe is demanding full power?
Those vengeful ghosts are probably already fully aware of how ferocious they are, right?
If these vengeful ghosts were to unleash their full power now, wouldn't every single child who went inside be terrified and wet their pants?
If this idea had come from Ma Liang, the Grand Elder would have definitely waved it away and told him to get lost!
However, Ma Liang clearly stated that this matter was Xinghe's intention.
If this is Xinghe's intention... then this matter is far from simple!
The Grand Elder delivered the message to Gu Mingchao, and the Sect Master, after reading it, simply said four words: "Watch Quietly as Things Change!"
As expected, the sect leader thought the same as him. Xinghe never acted without a purpose. When he proposed to maintain Fengdu City, he must have already had his own ideas. Now he wants to implement these ideas, but how exactly will he do it? Even the Grand Elder can't see through it.
News of Fengdu City spread far and wide. Before everyone in Hundred Refinements Valley could even process the matter of the Light of Xinghe, Chu Xinghe had already made his move in Fengdu City, Central Province?
However, faced with the exorbitant price of one hundred each, most people would simply Watch Quietly as Things Change, since this price is simply unaffordable for the average person.
Three full days passed after the news spread, and Chu Xinghe stood Fengdu City with a satisfied expression.
Look... there's nobody here!
Is it stable or not?
When I first arrived in Fengdu City, there were many people from various sects lingering around, all seemingly observing something. Occasionally, some even asked how one could qualify for the trials.
After the news of your 100 yuan per person spread, look... there's not a single person here, not even a bird.
Chu Xinghe pondered, "How about we go a little further and turn it into a tourist attraction? We could put up a fence around it?"
You can't even take a peek without buying a ticket.
After much thought, Chu Xinghe felt it wasn't a good idea; after all, one should have some principles.
However, after Ma Liang's God Level understanding of the price of one hundred per person successfully dissuaded them, Chu Xinghe felt he had to press his advantage.
We will not give Ma Liang any hope of turning the tables.
You guys think 100 per person is outrageous, right?
You're all so wrong. If you knew that if I had sent all the people in Fengdu City into the city with all their might and they had all peed their pants in fear, you would know that this is not Fengdu City at all; this is hell!
Once the news gets out, will anyone who hasn't suffered a stroke choose to pay money to suffer?
Wouldn't Fengdu City become so smelly that everyone would stink?
Little Ma Liang thinks he can turn the tables on me? Absolutely not!
We must create the most expensive tickets and the fiercest ghosts, so that every stroke patient who has been in the hospital for a century will experience what the worst experience is like.
I'll scare you so badly you'll get a stroke!
If you don't leave cursing in the street, I, Chu Xinghe, will consider it a loss!
So Chu Xinghe waved his hand and instructed Ma Liang to notify the sect to send a group of disciples over.
Of course, Chu Xinghe specifically instructed that some disciples with strong wills be sent in, otherwise, it would be one thing if they wet their pants in fear, but it would be another if they suffered a stroke.
After receiving the order, Ma Liang immediately arranged for someone to carry it out.
When the news reached the Vast Heaven Sect, countless newly enrolled disciples responded enthusiastically.
This was arranged by Senior Brother Xinghe. Being among the first to enter Senior Brother Xinghe's version of Fengdu City must have brought some benefits.
How could we possibly miss this opportunity?
Good heavens, all three thousand new disciples signed up without exception.
It took the Grand Elder and the heads of each palace half an afternoon to finally come up with a list.
Several chief disciples nearly came to blows over a single spot, but the Grand Elder remained silent.
You people... there's no need for this. These are just the first batch of disciples. Once the Xinghe Experiment is complete, everyone can go in. There's no need to fight.
And so, the first batch of one hundred Vast Heaven Sect disciples were teleported to a location more than two hundred miles away from Central Continent City by the teleportation array set up by the Grand Elder...
The group of disciples who landed were completely bewildered, including Mu Bai.
"Senior Brother Mu Bai, aren't we supposed to land in Central Continent City? Is the Grand Elder's teleportation array malfunctioning?"
"Nonsense! With the Grand Old He, how could the teleportation array possibly malfunction? Senior Brother Xinghe said we need people with firm wills. The Grand Elder is deliberately testing us. If we can't even overcome this short distance, how can we claim to have firm wills?"
The disciples nodded in agreement.
As expected... Senior Brother Mu Bai truly lives up to his reputation as a member of the Spirit Crane Palace; he really knows the Grand Elder well.
Old He possess? Could he possibly make a mistake in teleporting these people?
That's right! This is definitely the Grand Elder's first trial. Two hundred miles isn't a deviation; it's everyone's first test!
A group of the Vast Heaven Sect disciples, with unwavering resolve, set off towards Central Continent City!
Central Continent City, Chu Xinghe stared blankly at the location that should have been the landing point for the teleportation array...
Half a day has passed since the teleportation began, why is there still not the slightest reaction?
He quickly inquired with the sect using a spirit bird, and learned that the teleportation array was personally set up by the Grand Elder. Chu Xinghe was relieved.
So it was the Grand Elder who made the move... The Grand Elder attained enlightenment through elixirs, and the teleportation array occasionally malfunctions... cough cough... The Grand Elder would never make a mistake; the Grand Elder was mainly testing these disciples!
But tests are tests!
Quick, send people to search the surrounding area and see where all our Vast Heaven Sect disciples have been teleported to... Don't let them all fall into the lake... Save them first!
