Resource Allocation

"Xie Biyan just said he conceded defeat, did I hear that right?"

"I heard that too, you must have heard me right!"

"So, does that mean our Jia Ma Empire is number one in this Sect Tournament?"

Strictly speaking, yes!

"Strictly speaking, what a load of rubbish! We're number one!"

"How many years has it been since our Jia Ma Empire won first place in this sect competition?"

"Very good!"

At this moment, everyone from the Jia Ma Empire cheered.

Even Yun Shan, Jia Xing Tian, and Fa Ma had obvious joy on their faces.

For these powerful figures from the Jia Ma Empire, who were at least Dou Emperor, the sect competition was actually quite stressful.

After all, if they lose, the distribution of border resources among the Four Great Empires might only amount to scraps.

In fact, the distribution of public resources on the borders of the Four Great Empires in the sect competition is as follows: the first place gets 40%, the second place gets 30%, the third place gets 20%, and the fourth place gets 10%!

The difference between them is actually quite significant.

Especially the first place, which accounts for 40%.

This almost encompasses nearly half of the border resources.

Now that the Jia Ma Empire has won first place in this Sect Tournament, forty percent of the border public resources belong to them.

After that, everyone who participates in this Sect Tournament will receive a portion of these 40% of the resources.

This could be a huge fortune for an individual or the power behind them!

"The contest between the Jia Ma Empire and the Cloud Empire has been won by the Jia Ma Empire!"

With the announcement from the notary of the Heavenly Serpent Empire, the Sect Tournament between the sects of the Four Great Empires finally came to a close.

Of course, after the Sect Tournament ended, the people from the Four Great Empires did not disperse immediately.

Because after each Sect Tournament, the people of the Four Great Empires would discuss the format of the next Sect Tournament.

It's important to know that the format of this Sect Tournament isn't always fixed.

Like last time, Xiao Lin heard that it was a team competition, with each country sending 10 people to participate.

As for the next one, the people of the Four Great Empires are currently discussing it.

However, all of this is no longer relevant to Xiao Lin.

After defeating Xie Biyan, he left alone and returned to his lodgings.

This greatly disappointed Jia Xing Tian and Fa Ma, who had hoped to get closer to Xiao Lin.

Yun Shan, who witnessed all of this, could only laugh.

Subsequently, the group from the Jia Ma Empire stayed in the Northern Wasteland City of the Cloud Empire for almost half a month.

The details of the next Sect Tournament have already been discussed.

However, Xiao Lin didn't care.

Anyway, he had no plans to participate in the next Sect Tournament.

And so, after everything had settled down, the group from the Jia Ma Empire left the Cloud Empire and the Northern Wasteland City.

However, before leaving, the people from the Cloud Empire all had sour expressions on their faces.

After all, they failed to take first place on home soil, so it's no wonder they were upset.

Furthermore, the other Great Emperor are now paying close attention to the fact that the Jia Ma Empire has two Dou Zong!

One spy after another was sent into the Jia Ma Empire by the Great Emperor.

Unfortunately, that's a pity.

Not to mention these spies, even among the people of the Jia Ma Empire, apart from Yun Shan, no one knew about Xiao Lin's situation, let alone anyone else.

Ultimately, the people from the other Great Emperor could only obtain one piece of information: besides Yun Shan, the Jia Ma Empire had another powerful expert who was probably at the Two-Star Dou Zong.

Yes, in the battle against Xie Biyan, Xiao Lin never used any power exceeding that of Two-Star Dou Zong!

Otherwise, how could Xie Biyan have been used as a punching bag for so long and only suffered minor injuries, at most external disfigurement?

In the end, even Xie Biyan himself admitted defeat!

All of this was mainly because Xiao Lin's Astral Dou Qi was too effective at countering Xie Biyan's Poison Dou Qi.

This also rendered Xie Biyan's strongest techniques almost useless against Xiao Lin.

That's why their battle seemed so one-sided!

After learning of the intelligence assessments of the other three generations of empires, Xiao Lin merely smiled dismissively and ignored them.

After returning to the Xiao Household, Xiao Lin's biggest concern was actually how many resources he could be allocated!

In the end, Yun Shan personally gave him an answer!

He fought as Dou Wang and was assigned the mining rights to a Mithril Vein on the border.

Mithril can be used to make weapons, set up formations, and create special items such as Formation Disk!

It can be said that Xiao Lin's demand for Mithril is not low.

Since Xiao Lin participated in the battle as Dou Zong, Yun Shan did not directly send the resources to the Xiao Household family to avoid others tracing Xiao Lin's involvement. Instead, he used a different method.

Yun Shan's official explanation was that Dou Zong Xiao Lin had his eye on something from the Misty Cloud Sect, which was why he joined the war.

He has now given the item to Xiao Lin, Dou Zong.

Subsequently, Yun Shan secretly transferred all the resources allocated to the Misty Cloud Sect after the sect war, such as the mining rights to two Jade Crystal Vein, an Ironwood Forest, and a gold mine, to the Xiao Household family.

It's no exaggeration to say that if all these resources were converted into gold coins, they would probably be worth tens or even hundreds of billions!

This allowed the Xiao Household to make a huge profit once again!

Jade Crystals can be made into special containers to preserve the medicinal properties of Medicinal Pill.

Ironwood, on the other hand, can be used to make special boxes to preserve the medicinal properties of herbs.

As for gold mines, needless to say, once they're mined, you can directly mint your own gold coins!

"A good haul! It was worth participating in the Sect Tournament!"

Xiao Lin, who was counting his small change at the Xiao Household, couldn't help but squint his eyes.

They say you don't know the cost of firewood, rice, oil, and salt until you're in charge of the household.

Since becoming the clan leader, Xiao Lin has realized that money is needed for all aspects of the clan's expenses.

The Xiao Household is currently in a phase of rapid development, which means they need even more money for various purposes!

Now that he has acquired these resources, Xiao Lin can finally relieve his immediate crisis.

"Furthermore, Mithril, Jade Crystal, and Ironwood are all core materials for making Formation Disk! It seems I can find some time to try making some Formation Disk."

Thinking of something, Xiao Lin couldn't help but smile again.

Xiao Lin had already mastered the technique of making Formation Disk.

However, he has always lacked materials.

I'm really sleepy right now, so here's a pillow for you!

In the Battle Through the Heavens Continent, the technique of creating Formation Disk, while not entirely lost, is estimated to be extremely rare, with only a handful of people still knowing how.

It's important to know that in today's market, the price of a level one Formation Disk can be equivalent to several grade four Medicinal Pills.

Even so, this is still priceless!
