Rogue Cultivator Representative (2)

Everyone turned to look at the voice and saw it was him. They were all slightly taken aback, wondering what his opinion was, and his expression seemed a little unpleasant. Chou Wuyuan rubbed his forehead, feeling a bit of a headache. This guy, when he didn't speak, it was fine, but once he did, it was hard to imagine what good things he could say. His opinions were always unbearable for others! Why did he always feel helpless whenever he encountered this guy? He sighed and asked, "Brother Yue, why don't you share your opinion with everyone?"

Yue Qianchou, expressionless, clasped his hands and said, "I don't know if you all know, but I am fortunate to be favored by the many Rogue Cultivator outside and temporarily serve as a representative of the Rogue Cultivator in the Huaxia Cultivation World."

The group exchanged glances, with Bi Shan frowning even more. He thought to himself, "Why would you choose to represent the Rogue Cultivator instead of the Four Great Families?" Chou Wuyuan nodded and said, "We naturally know about this. What do you want to say?"

"I would like to ask you all, all sects receive a share of the Spirit Stone, so why are the independent Rogue Cultivator? They are also willing to contribute their modest efforts to the Huaxia Cultivation World, so why are they treated differently? This seems unfair. I hope you can consider the Rogue Cultivator outside and allocate a share from the budget," Yue Qianchou said solemnly.

It's all about money again! Everyone was Chou Wuyuan. Qiu Wuyuan glanced around and said, "This money is all collected by each sect from half of their daily mining of Spirit Stone mine. It's only natural that it should be returned to each sect when needed. It's really unreasonable for Rogue Cultivator to take a share without contributing a single Spirit Stone. Brother Yue, you're making things difficult for us."

"Yes...that's right...how can we get a share of the money if we didn't contribute any..." the various factions echoed in unison.

"Please hear me out," Yue Qianchou said, bowing to the crowd. After the discussions among the various sects subsided, he continued, "I, Yue Qianchou, have always been a reasonable person and would never do anything unreasonable. Rogue Cultivator are weak and powerless in the Cultivation World. They simply cannot occupy famous mountains and marshes to mine Spirit Stone mine like the sects do. Where would they get the money to hand over? They are always left to fend for themselves, and often do despicable things to survive. Therefore, the sects don't take them seriously; to put it bluntly, no sect respects them. Even so, however..."

Yue Qianchou looked around, pointed outside, and said passionately, "Right outside, there are these Rogue Cultivator whom you dislike. Hearing that the Huaxia Cultivation World is in trouble, regardless of age or gender, they resolutely joined the Cultivation Alliance, willing to shed their blood for the Huaxia Cultivation World at any time. Their hearts are as clear as the sun and moon, and their hearts are selfless..."

"Yue Qianchou!" Chou Wuyuan bear to listen any longer and interrupted. He then looked at the reactions of the various factions and saw that none of them were moved by his words. Their expressions were very strange, clearly reflecting his own thoughts.

"Brother Yue, just tell me how much money you want, but let me make it clear beforehand that if you ask for too much, I won't give you any more." Chou Wuyuan lazy to beat around the bush with him anymore. If he kept going in circles, he would end up in a different place and might even suffer greater losses.

Yue Qianchou's expression softened slightly. "As long as they give me money," he thought. "These kinds of things, they won't give to you unless you ask. You have to ask to have a chance. No matter how much, something is better than nothing." He nodded with satisfaction and said, "Actually, they didn't ask me, as their representative, to make any demands to the Cultivation Alliance, but I think a stable source of Spirit Stone would keep morale high and make it easier to command. Senior Qiu, there are over six hundred people outside. How about one hundred high-grade Spirit Stones per person per month?"

"Are you insane!" Chou Wuyuan nearly roared. "Even the Palace Master of the Myriad Demon Palace doesn't earn a hundred high-grade Spirit Stones a month. You expect us to give each of these Rogue Cultivator a hundred high-grade Spirit Stones every month?"

"Yue Qianchou and fell, the crowd was indignant.

Yue Qianchou was stunned for a moment, then realized that he had been making a lot of money in recent years and had almost forgotten that the money of each sect was accumulated over many years. He had never heard of anyone receiving more than a hundred high-grade Spirit Stones a month, not even fifty. Some sects even gave out low-grade Spirit Stones in increments of ten. Of course, those in high positions in each sect could also access a lot of Spirit Stone, but that was completely different from what they received according to the rules.

Damn it! My horizons have broadened too quickly; I almost forgot about the days when we lived in poverty. I'm ashamed! Yue Qianchou said somewhat awkwardly, "Um... everyone, please calm down. I misspoke and said one hundred high-grade Spirit Stones of one. Please don't misunderstand!"

"I bet you're rolling in money. A hundred high-grade Spirit Stones are nothing to you? That's quite something," Zhu Xianxian of the Daluo Sect couldn't help but say. Upon hearing this, everyone looked at Yue Qianchou with deep agreement. This guy was young, yet he possessed a huge fortune. The money he had amassed in this period of time was nothing more than a drop in the ocean compared to a hundred high-grade Spirit Stones.

"Hey Zhu, what do you mean?" Yue Qianchou glanced at him coldly, his tone turning serious. He raised an eyebrow and said, "I misspoke and have already apologized. Are you deliberately trying to cause trouble? If so, just say so, and I'm ready to fight anytime!"

Zhu Xianxian, a representative of the prestigious Daluo Sect, could no longer tolerate being provoked like this in public. Even if he could, he couldn't hold back any longer. If he didn't put on a show, how could he face anyone after repeatedly suffering setbacks at Yue Qianchou's hands? He immediately jumped up from the prayer mat, and Quan Deming, who was next to him, immediately pulled him back, which was exactly what everyone expected.

"Yue Qianchou, don't be so arrogant, you'll get your comeuppance sooner or later!" Zhu Xianxian roared, still unwilling to accept defeat. The representatives from each faction shook their heads repeatedly. What happened back then was in the past. A little humiliation should be endured. Since you can't beat them, why can't you control your mouth? Aren't you just asking for trouble?

Yue Qianchou scoffed, "Don't worry, if I ever get my comeuppance, I'll definitely kill you first to take the fall."

Upon hearing this, the group of people sitting cross-legged exchanged speechless glances, inwardly sighing. This Yue Qianchou was no longer the Yue Qianchou of yesteryear. Let alone Zhu Xianxian, now, with just a blade in hand, how many would dare to challenge his might? They hadn't killed this kid back then, but now he'd risen to prominence, his momentum growing stronger. Dealing with him again wouldn't be so easy!

"Alright! Enough talk! Don't you know what time it is? We're here to discuss and resolve issues, not to argue!" Chou Wuyuan shouted. His gaze at Zhu Xianxian clearly told him: You asked for this. His gaze towards Yue Qianchou was more complex. If the Yue Qianchou Myriad Demon Palace really recruited this guy, who knew if it would be a blessing or a curse? Wherever he went, trouble followed. Those Rogue Cultivator were truly ruthless, actually pushing this guy out as their representative; who knew what kind of trouble he would cause later.

Quan Deming, looking helpless, pressed Zhu Xianxian back onto the futon, then looked at Yue Qianchou and said, "Yue Qianchou, even a high-grade Spirit Stones is impossible. Only disciples who are always ready for battle can receive a high-grade Spirit Stones every month. The Rogue Cultivator you represent haven't been assigned any missions yet. How can they enjoy the same treatment as those disciples who are always in danger? You keep talking about fairness, but do you think this is fair?"

"That doesn't seem quite right!" Yue Qianchou scratched his nose and said, "Elder Quan, there are at least tens of thousands of disciples from various sects preparing for the war. I only have about six hundred people here. If each person gets one yuan, it will only amount to about six hundred yuan a month. Compared to the vast financial resources of the entire Cultivation Alliance, my amount is small. Do you think you can make an exception?" He still wanted to try his luck.

"No matter how vast the financial resources are, they've been carefully planned. Once the war begins, the consumption of elixirs and Law Artifact will be enormous, requiring a significant amount of money to procure them. Furthermore, a considerable sum is earmarked for rewards, not something that can be distributed arbitrarily," Quan Deming explained. It was only because he encountered this guy; if it were anyone else, they would probably have been thrown out long ago. Who would bother haggling and explaining so much to him?

"How much can you give them?" Yue Qianchou frowned. Quan Deming and Chou Wuyuan exchanged a glance, Chou Wuyuan looked at everyone and shook his head, saying, "Since these more than 600 Rogue Cultivator are also members of the Cultivation Alliance, I suggest that the Spirit Stone distributed be halved, and we give them fifty mid-grade Spirit Stones. What do you all think?"

"Over the course of a month, it'll only amount to about three hundred high-grade Spirit Stones, which I think is acceptable," Quan Deming nodded.

"I also think it's acceptable," said Bi Shan, representing the Four Great Families. Hua Yinyue of the Wangyue Sect also expressed her acceptance, followed by Yuan Jiukui of the Six Paths Demonic Sect. Everyone couldn't help but glance at Yuan Jiukui. The first two families were understandable, but when did the Six Paths Demonic Sect side with Yue Qianchou? Yue Qianchou himself was also a little puzzled. What did this old guy mean by repeatedly showing goodwill?

Other factions wouldn't risk creating enmity over a mere three hundred Spirit Stone in front of Yue Qianchou, and the matter passed almost smoothly.

Although the amount of money was a bit small, Yue Qianchou had his own plans and didn't argue further. He figured a token amount would suffice. Just as he was about to sit down, Chou Wuyuan asked, "Yue Qianchou, since those Rogue Cultivator enjoy the benefits of the Cultivation Alliance, they should be subject to its control. They are not like the disciples of other sects; they are used to acting alone. If the situation becomes critical and they are needed, can you restrain them?"

Upon hearing this, Yue Qianchou straightened up again, his face turned cold, and he said in a chilling tone, "I have never forced them, but since they have pushed me out to lead the way, it's too late for them to be free from my control from the moment I stepped into this place. If one of them doesn't listen to me, I'll kill one; if two don't listen to me, I'll kill both of them. At worst, I'll kill them all."

Everyone felt a chill run down their spines. This madman might actually be capable of such a thing. At first, they thought those Rogue Cultivators were slippery and had pushed him forward, but now they realized many were likely to suffer. Just then, Yue Qianchou changed the subject. He looked around at everyone arrogantly and said, "It won't be long before you see these six hundred-plus Rogue Cultivator become an invincible army. Wherever I point, they will attack. There will be no question of them being outside my control. You will see it!"
