We're Selling Tickets This Time!

All the elders sat down again, and everyone looked at Xinghe with serious expressions.

The Grand Elder looked at Xinghe with a solemn expression. He didn't ask Xinghe for his opinion today because he knew that Xinghe was incredibly kind and righteous, and naturally Xinghe wouldn't have any objections to helping others.

But the Grand Elder hadn't expected that Xinghe would actually have objections today.

The Grand Elder was also somewhat confused at this point.

"Xinghe, share your opinion, let's discuss it."

"Elder, my opinion is simple... do not borrow resources!"

When Chu Xinghe said this, everyone in the room was stunned...

Everyone stared at Xinghe with an incredulous expression.

Because no one expected Xinghe to say that they wouldn't lend resources!

Chu Xinghe is known for his unparalleled benevolence and righteousness. This time, lending resources is a good deed, and given Xinghe's personality, it's impossible that he wouldn't lend them!

But just as the Grand Elder was in a daze, Chu Xinghe spoke up.

"Sect Master... Grand Elder... Elders, lending resources to various parties is harmless to our Vast Heaven Sect, it's just a small matter... But the problem is, how will they return these resources after they've been borrowed?"

Upon hearing Xinghe's words, everyone present fell silent.

It's important to understand that while the resources borrowed by each party may seem small, they represent a tremendous amount of resources for the Vast Heaven Sect, but for these other forces.

If these forces could provide that many resources, they wouldn't be coming to borrow them in the first place...

The fact that they're borrowing means they're probably completely unable to repay... not to mention the principal, even if Vast Heaven Sect calculates it using the lowest interest rates in the Three Continents, they probably won't be able to pay the interest in the short term.

In this way, the resources they borrowed this time may seem to have temporarily solved their problems, but the interest that follows will also put enormous pressure on these forces.

Even some small, resource-scarce factions can eventually be completely crushed by these interest rates.

The Vast Heaven Sect's act of lending resources is a good deed, intended to help all parties, not to crush them.

With these resources from the Vast Heaven Sect, some forces may indeed rise to prominence and achieve great success through the Ancient Beast God Spirit Temple opportunity, with the principal and interest easily repayable in the Future.

Don't forget, the Ancient Beast God Spirit Temple isn't a place where you can just take whatever secret techniques you want... What if you're unlucky and go in empty-handed?

As a result, not only did they fail to achieve great success, they also incurred huge debts!

How can they survive such a double blow? Perhaps the only path left for them is the destruction of their sect.

Therefore, lending resources to these forces, which may seem like helping them, is actually a double-edged sword.

It was like a high-stakes gamble, risking the fate of their sect on the chance to gain a great opportunity at the Ancient Spirit Temple. Success would mean instant success, while failure could mean losing everything.

As Xinghe analyzed the situation, the entire Haotian Grand Hall fell into a deathly silence.

At this moment, whether it was the Grand Elder or the many chief ministers, they all looked at the Xinghe before them with a gratified expression.

This is Xinghe... The unparalleled benevolence and righteousness of Chu Xinghe is not just empty words; Xinghe and righteousness are ingrained in his very being.

Faced with requests for resources from various parties, everyone thought of lending out resources to help them temporarily overcome their difficulties. However, Xinghe alone considered the long term Xinghe made the worst-case scenario plan for these smaller forces.

"Xinghe, you're right, but if we don't lend them resources, they might not even qualify to enter this time... We can't just give them resources for nothing, can we?"

Upon hearing the Grand Elder's words, all the elders nodded in agreement.

As the saying goes, there's no such thing as a free lunch. Borrowing resources is fine, but giving them away is something none of the elders would agree to.

The most vulnerable thing in this world is the human heart. The Vast Heaven Sect doesn't lack these meager rewards, but if the Vast Heaven Sect opens the door to giving away resources for free today, then everything will fall into chaos.

Today this force came, Vast Heaven Sect, seeing your predicament, gave you resources for free... What about tomorrow's next force? Will the Vast Heaven Sect also give them resources for free?

The Vast Heaven Sect is a sect... and Vast Heaven Sect resources don't just fall from the sky. It's unlikely the Vast Heaven Sect would give away its resources for free, right?

But if you give this today and not that tomorrow, then that sect won't think that your Vast Heaven Sect did good deeds before; they'll only think, "Why did your Vast Heaven Sect give to others but not to themselves?"

Those forces that receive resources from the Vast Heaven Sect not necessarily speak well of you, but those that don't will definitely curse you!

The principle that we should not worry about scarcity but about inequality is something everyone understands.

Although Ma Liang had no right to speak, Ma Liang nodded in agreement. Ma Liang came from a distinguished family and had read a record in his Lineage.

During the Ma Lineage's most prosperous period, countless poor relatives came to their door asking for this and that. The Ma Lineage's ancestors were kind-hearted and tried their best to satisfy their requests. However, instead of being grateful for their kindness, these poor relatives took advantage of them even more. By the time the ancestors realized this, it was too late. Those who initially received things but later found that the ancestors had stopped giving them to them all cursed the ancestors for being heartless.

Those who didn't receive it criticized their ancestors for favoring one side, saying that the Ma Lineage ancestors were clearly well-intentioned, but ended up making a mess of things for themselves.

Therefore, Ma Liang, who knew about this, also felt that directly sending resources was absolutely unacceptable!

"Giving away resources for free is absolutely unacceptable!" Gu Mingchao put down the Dao Porcelain and shook his head to express his opinion.

This time, everyone nodded in agreement with the sect leader's opinion.

"The sect leader is right, giving away resources for free is absolutely unacceptable, but... we can try another method... we can sell tickets!"

The audience. "???"

Selling tickets? Upon hearing those three words, Ma Liang was completely bewildered... What? They're selling tickets?

Hasn't Senior Brother Xinghe always hated selling tickets?

So, it seems Senior Brother Xinghe is going to be selling tickets himself this time...

The problem is, this is Ancient Spirit Temple... This Ancient Spirit Temple isn't something we can control, and neither are the ticket prices...

Isn't it true that anyone who offers enough resources can get in?

How are we going to sell tickets now?

But amidst everyone's bewildered gazes, Chu Xinghe explained what selling tickets meant.

It's very simple... Isn't the reason why everyone is unable to obtain tickets because the Beast God Spirit Temple has suddenly been upgraded to Ancient Spirit Temple, potentially increasing the required resources tenfold?

Then please come to our Vast Heaven Sect... Our Vast Heaven Sect will now begin selling tickets to the Ancient Spirit Temple!

Instead of selling tickets at the same price Ancient Spirit Temple, we'll sell them at twice the normal price of the Beast God Spirit Temple. They can't afford ten times the price, but they can manage to pay twice if they grit their teeth!

Regardless of your faction, as long as you buy a ticket from us, you've secured your qualification in advance. Whether the Ancient Spirit Temple offers ten times the resources or not, as long as you buy a ticket now, our Vast Heaven Sect will take care of getting you in...

If it really is ten times, then our Vast Heaven Sect will make up the difference for you without you having to pay a single penny.

If it's the normal price for the Beast God Spirit Temple... then congratulations! We'll not only get you in, but we'll also refund half of the double ticket price you paid before!

This is a case of our Vast Heaven Sect not making any profit by splitting the stakes. You can just say whether it's benevolent or not!

I'm not playing Chu Xinghe anymore! I'm laying my cards on the table!

Everyone present was stunned by Xinghe's explanation!

The Grand Elder said, "Well... Xinghe... do you want to hear if you're even speaking human language?"

I understood every single word you said... so why are you confusing me when you put them together?

The Grand Elder stated that Xinghe, no matter how you look at it, the best outcome for us in this round is that we won't make any profit... and there's a very high probability that we'll suffer a huge loss...

So what is our goal? Is it mainly to lose money?

So, Xinghe, do you want to explain the purpose of this plan?

Just as Chu Xinghe was pondering how to offer a reasonable explanation, Elder He spoke up, "Brilliant... Xinghe, that was a brilliant move!"

The audience. "???"

Chu Xinghe: "???"

Elder He stroked his beard and said, "Everyone, Xinghe's move may seem like a loss for the sect, but in reality, no matter the outcome, our Vast Heaven Sect will gain!"

Elder He didn't waste any words and went straight to the explanation.

Xinghe's plan seems to have the best possible outcome of forcing a loss without any profit, but that's actually not the case... No matter what the outcome, Xinghe's move will be profitable for the Vast Heaven Sect!

First of all, although ancient texts record that the Ancient Spirit Temple requires ten times the resources, the shrine is not currently open, so who can guarantee that it will definitely require ten times the resources?

If it's really normal... Xinghe's plan seems to have made no profit at all, but that's not actually the case!

Today we're not discussing profit or loss; we're discussing how to help those smaller factions overcome their difficulties. Xinghe's method is essentially taking on the risk for those smaller factions in advance. As for the meager resources returned to them, does Vast Heaven Sect care about such a small amount?

Although the resources were returned, which of those smaller factions wouldn't praise the Vast Heaven Sect for its benevolence?

Conversely, even if ten times the resources were truly needed, although making up the difference for these forces would be extremely costly, Vast Heaven Sect would essentially be giving these smaller forces a way out.

These resources are nothing to the Vast Heaven Sect, but they are a real lifeline for those smaller forces.

So even if we lose resources, we win people's hearts.

The Vast Heaven Sect has come a long way, just one step away from becoming a holy land. Xinghe's goal this time is not to gain resources, but to win people's hearts!

After hearing Elder He's words, not only the Grand Elder, but even Chu Xinghe almost believed them!

Because you have to admit that Elder He is right. This ticket-selling plan is like buying insurance in advance for all the small forces that cannot afford the resources of the Ancient Spirit Temple. No matter what the final result is, the Vast Heaven Sect will pay for it!

Soon after the Vast Heaven Sect announced its ticketing plan, all the major powers in the world were stunned!

Zheng Yu stared blankly at the message delivered by his subordinate. His first reaction to this ticketing plan was that the Zheng Yu Vast Heaven Sect was clearly losing money hand over fist. What was the Vast Heaven Sect after?

After much thought, Zheng Yu went to ask his master, Cheng Xiaotian.

Looking at the bewildered Zheng Yu, Cheng Xiaotian sighed, "The Vast Heaven Holy Land... is just around the corner... Yu'er, you only see that the Vast Heaven Sect might lose countless resources this time, but you don't know that this move by the Vast Heaven Sect has brought life to countless small forces across the world. One whale falls, and all things flourish. The Vast Heaven Sect is not that fallen whale; they are the entire ocean!"
