I, Ma Liang, Am Just a Lowly Outer Sect Disciple!
No one knows how much Zheng Yu lost... Anyway, Zheng Yu was so angry that he had several more dogs killed by the sect's steward!
What the hell?! You're saying the dog is innocent?!
These dogs are descendants of the dog that ate the steward who didn't go to the Muyue Kingdom, so tell me, do these dogs deserve to die?
Despite his helplessness, Zheng Yu knew how difficult it must have been for Senior Brother Xinghe to achieve what he had in the Vast Heaven Sect.
In the Vast Heaven Sect, Senior Brother Xinghe Senior Brother Xinghe absolutely the one who has the final say. His decisions are absolute, and everyone from the Senior Brother Xinghe to an ordinary disciple must carry them out.
But Zheng Yu knew that she was still far from being as good as Senior Brother Xinghe.
I, Zheng Yu, have my master backing me up, but I am often constrained. Senior Brother Xinghe's Senior Brother Xinghe is not as high as mine, but he can do things that I, Zheng Yu, cannot.
This shows just how outstanding Senior Brother Xinghe is...
I, Zheng Yu, used to have unrealistic fantasies about surpassing Senior Brother Xinghe, but now I, Zheng Yu, know that let alone surpassing Senior Brother Xinghe, being able to even see Senior Brother Xinghe 'Zheng Yu heels is already an achievement beyond measure!
Although Martial Emperor City didn't make a huge profit this time due to the Grand Elder's reckless actions, compared to other factions, Martial Emperor City was definitely among the first to act.
Although those pills couldn't be sold to make a quick buck, they were enough for the disciples of Martial Emperor City to use in their preparations for entering the ruins.
So, in the end, Martial Emperor City still made a profit, just not a huge one.
However, it was unrealistic for other parties to seize enough poison pills from Vast Heaven Trading Company in a short period of time to support their disciples' entry into the ruins.
After all, what kind of place is Vast Heaven Trading Company?
That was a place where a beggar would be treated the same as a disciple of Ten Great Sects.
Look at a prodigy like Guo Qizhen, he should still obediently wait in line outside Vast Heaven Trading Company.
Because Senior Brother Xinghe said that as long as you enter our Vast Heaven Trading Company, whether you are a beggar or a tycoon, we will treat you all the same. Anyone who is treated differently because of their status will be expelled from the sect.
So even if you go to Ten Great Sects, you'll still have to queue up with Rogue Cultivators.
Here, even if you have money, you'd better behave yourself.
However, there are too many Rogue Cultivators... and the various sects really can't get enough poison pills to support their disciples entering the ruins.
However, the Ten Great Sects still maintained their Ten Great Sects and immediately sought out Ma Liang.
We hope to purchase some pills directly from the Vast Heaven Sect.
Ma Liang's reply to this was very simple...
"As you all know, I, Ma Liang, am merely a lowly outer disciple... How dare I make such a decision? Why don't you speak with the Grand Elder? What? The Grand Elder has been refusing to see guests lately... That's right, I know... That's why I suggested you speak with the Grand Elder..."
All parties. "..."
Ma Liang lamented, "As a lowly outer disciple, my life is Ma Liang difficult! I don't even have the qualifications to enter the Spirit Crane Palace, and as everyone knows... all the poison pills are with the Spirit Crane Palace..."
Of course, everyone trusts me, Ma Liang, and although I am just a lowly outer disciple, I am not incapable of risking my life to go to the Spirit Crane Palace to say a few words for everyone... I just don't know if everyone's sincerity is enough for me to be so willing to sacrifice my life!
Everyone understood that so-called sincerity simply meant paying more money...
However, at this critical juncture, no one could afford to worry about anything else... After a brief discussion, each company doubled their original prices.
In response, Ma Liang said... "Gentlemen... you've only doubled the price, but for me, Ma Liang, an outer disciple, entering the Spirit Crane Palace is a death sentence! I might very well be beaten to death on the spot by the inner disciples of the Spirit Crane Palace... I'm risking my life for everyone!"
Although I, Ma Liang, am a lowly outer disciple, is Ma Liang life only worth one unit?
All parties raised the price to twice its original value.
Ma Liang thought... "I, Ma Liang, am just a mere outer disciple. No one cares whether I live or die... Since you all feel this way, then I have no choice but to go to the Spirit Crane Palace..." And guess what happened... The guards at the Spirit Crane Palace said, "What are you, Ma Liang, an outer disciple... You think you're worthy of entering Spirit Crane Palace? They told me to get lost, friends!"
I, Ma Liang, have been humiliated!
My Ma Liang is breaking!
I, Ma Liang, am nothing!
It's not that I don't want to help everyone, it's just that I, Ma Liang, am a humble person who speaks lightly. If a mere inner disciple slaps me in the face, I have no choice but to accept it!
In response to Ma Liang's shameless remarks, a disciple from a certain sect immediately retorted, "Ma Liang, you're talking nonsense! You're now the Master of Ghost Valley and the King of the Nether Domain, how dare you utter such lowly words?"
Ma Liang ordered two core disciples of the inner sect to throw the guy out of the Haotian Mountain Range, and decreed that from now on, no sect to which the guy belonged was allowed to set foot in the Haotian Mountain Range!
Cancel all trade related to the Vast Heaven Sect!
Who do you think you are! I, Ma Liang, am but a lowly person with little influence in the Vast Heaven Sect, but what makes you, you mad dog, think you can bark at me like that?
If your sect leader comes and kowtows to me, it depends on whether I'm in a good mood or whether I'm willing to accept it!
Given Ma Liang's lowly status and limited influence, the various factions eventually raised the price fivefold...
Ma Liang could tell that this was pretty much the limit for each family...
Therefore, Ma Liang said, "Since everyone is so sincere, I, Ma Liang, a humble outer disciple, will risk my life to make a trip to the Spirit Crane Palace for everyone... Even if I am ridiculed and humiliated by the inner disciples of the Spirit Crane Palace, I will have done my duty to everyone."
Afterwards, Ma Liang went to the Spirit Crane Palace amidst a group of inner core disciples respectfully addressing him as Senior Brother Ma Liang.
This is such a small matter that there's no need to consult the Grand Elder... Ma Liang had a brief conversation with Senior Brother Feng Fei, who was in charge of all the treasure troves.
Senior Brother Feng Fei said, "Ma Liang... I'm not saying this to criticize you, but you're really too soft-hearted... If it were me, Senior Brother Feng Fei, making a move, six times the amount is possible, and seven times is also something we can try."
Ma Liang responded to Feng Fei's words, "Ma Liang What my Senior Brother Feng Fei said is true. I still have a long way to go."
The deal was completed through friendly negotiations between Ma Liang and Feng Fei.
Each sect has obtained the poison pill resources it needed.
The price is a bit too expensive...
What is this? If it's so expensive, why not buy it from Vast Heaven Trading Company?
Ma Liang said, "Who's holding you back... Hurry up! Vast Heaven Trading Company sells them every day, just go and queue up... They don't raise prices there!"
Chu Xinghe had already logged off while listening to Ma Liang and Feng Fei's explanation of the sales situation of the poison pills!
This is just the beginning of Vast Heaven Trading Company selling like hotcakes... I was just about to tell Spirit Crane Palace to stop selling any poison pills, absolutely not a single one...
But I hadn't even given the order yet, Ma Liang, you shamelessly sold it for five times the price of Vast Heaven Trading Company...
Have you no shame?
What gives you the audacity to come and tell me about five times...?
Your Senior Brother Xinghe can't suppress the Thunder Shadow at all right now, you know that... The Thunder Shadow is practically flying over your head!
Looking at Junior Brother Xinghe's calm expression, Feng Fei said, "Junior Brother Ma Liang... I told you you still lack experience... Junior Brother Xinghe's thinking was probably the same as mine... You should have sold at at least seven times the value, but you sold at five times... That's a huge loss!"
"Senior Brother Feng Fei is right; I, Ma Liang, was still too soft-hearted."
Chu Xinghe: "..."
Um... Senior Brother Feng... could you please just shut up...?
Ma Liang only stabbed me once, but do you have to stab me until I can't breathe before it counts?
These Spirit Crane Palace disciples have been refining medicine for so long... all the poison pills have been completely wiped out... This isn't just a question of whether it's a huge profit or not, it's an insane windfall!
The sect makes a fortune, and I, Chu Xinghe, am utterly dumbfounded!
The Grand Elder's face had turned ashen as he gazed at the Xinghe before him... Feng Fei and Ma Liang, the Grand Elder thought, "May Heaven bless Vast Heaven!"
Feng Fei was the eldest elder's disciple, so they were treated the same as a son...
Previously, the Grand Elder had intended to promote Feng Fei to the position of Grand Elder of the Vast Heaven Sect in the Future.
However, with Ma Liang's sudden rise to prominence, the Grand Elder asked himself honestly, and realized that Ma Liang was indeed far superior to Feng Fei in terms of both personal strength and shamelessness when it came to the position of Grand Elder in the Future.
But Feng Fei is, after all, his own disciple... The Grand Elder still needs to plan for his Future.
The Grand Elder was also afraid that Feng Fei and Ma Liang would fight to the death, since they were from the same sect, and it would be quite unsightly if it really came to that.
But now the Grand Elder is relieved.
Ma Liang may become the Future Grand Elder, but Feng Fei can still control the entire Vast Heaven Sect's finances.
Moreover, Feng Fei and Ma Liang did not confront each other directly, but rather discussed and worked together to explore how to contribute to the development of the sect.
Feng Fei isn't as flamboyant as Ma Liang. Feng Fei is in charge of internal affairs, while Ma Liang is shameless enough to handle external matters. This complementary relationship is the best choice.
Of course, the Grand Elder knew that all of this was because of Xinghe.
With Ma Liang and Feng Fei's talents, to be honest, if they weren't in the Vast Heaven Sect, but even in the Martial Emperor City, Zheng Yu definitely wouldn't be able to control them.
It's not just the two of them; if any sect had even one of the geniuses discovered by Xinghe Mu Bai, it would be a great blessing for the sect.
But if a sect has two or a group of them... then it would be a huge disaster for that sect!
You can't stand disciples who are too bad, but it can be even more dangerous if they are too outstanding.
After all, being outstanding enough requires sufficient status and treatment, but a sect cannot allow everyone to reach the highest position, so competition is inevitable.
But no matter how outstanding Ma Liang and his friends are, as long as the Xinghe still exists... tell me, who among them would dare to have any wild thoughts?
Not to mention their wild thoughts, if anyone dares to have wild thoughts, they can handle it clearly for Xinghe without Xinghe even having to say anything.
As long as the Xinghe exists, no matter how outstanding a prodigy is, they can all perform their duties and know their place.
The Xinghe is the rock that will hold the Future of the entire sect.
Most importantly, Xinghe never suppresses any sect disciple. As long as you have talent, Xinghe will always give you the space to show your talent. Even if you don't achieve anything for a while and waste sect resources, Xinghe will still face it with a smile.
The biggest taboo for those in positions of power is jealousy. Some people are afraid that others will surpass them, so they always try to find ways to hinder others and suppress them.
But Xinghe never needs to do that; Xinghe always makes the best use of everything and everyone.
The Xinghe is like a vast sea of stars; no matter how dazzling you are, when you look up, you realize that you are still a distance far enough from the Xinghe to convince yourself of its existence...
