Tushan Heavenly Monarch's words astonished everyone.
Among the old friends from the Yuan era, every Nascent Soul True Lord attending today's banquet could receive Tushan Heavenly Monarch's tribulation-crossing subsidy, exchanging for tribulation-crossing opportunities, secret techniques, cultivation arts, and talismans at half price!
Many True Lords were shaken to the core.
Even more True Lords, who had saved for a long time yet still failed to accumulate enough merit, were moved to tears. Once more, they saw hope of breaking through to a higher realm, hope of extending their lifespans further.
As for repaying tenfold after Spirit Transformation, that was merely to put their minds at ease.
If they broke through to Spirit Transformation, what did tenfold matter?
If they could not break through, then death was death. Could Tushan Heavenly Monarch possibly go to the underworld to collect the debt from them?
That would be wonderful!
"Many thanks, Heavenly Monarch!"
"Many thanks, my lord!"
"..."
The Nascent Soul True Lords were grateful beyond measure, deeply cupping their hands in salute.
"No matter. It is but a small matter."
Jiang Ding waved a hand. "The immortal path is long. To walk it alongside all of you, and to see so many familiar faces in this world, is already a great blessing. A little worldly wealth amounts to nothing."
"Besides,"
Jiang Ding laughed heartily. "I see that all of you fellow Daoists are dragons and phoenixes among men, Peerless Heavenly Talents. You will surely advance to Spirit Transformation. When that time comes, this business of mine will make a fortune."
"Tenfold, heaven-shaking profits—has there ever been such a lucrative business since ancient times?"
"I am the one taking advantage here."
"You overstate it, Heavenly Monarch."
The Nascent Soul True Lords were moved. They knew he was saying this to settle their hearts.
