I Want to Buy Ten!

Wang Yu's heart stirred. That did make sense.

Any business deal was like that. Without connections or the right channels, even spending a fortune might not get you good goods; more likely, you would end up being taken for a ride.

The benefit the fat bank president mentioned truly tempted him.

The fat bank president did not have many personal connections to offer—just those two advantages.

Building ties with White Dragon Sea Empire nobles was merely decent, but Wang Yu genuinely needed high-quality slaves, so he readily agreed.

However, he did not produce the two million Universe Coins on the spot. Wang Yu put on a small act, saying he needed time to transfer the funds, and arranged for the fat bank president to send someone to War God Star to collect them a year later.

Since the deposit target would not be settled until three years later, the fat bank president had no objections. He even promised to immediately have his cousin help Wang Yu seek out high-quality slaves.

Who would have thought depositing money could bring such gains? Escorted out by the fat bank president and over a hundred employees, Wang Yu left Cosmic Galaxy Bank thoroughly satisfied.

Afterward, Wang Yu went to the Ganwu Dojo on Imperial Capital Star.

Recommended by Mentor Yoda and backed by his own strength, he received notice while still on the way confirming his identity as a One-Leaf Qian Wu Adept.

The Ganwu Dojo had been established by the Qian Wu Country Lord as a cultivation academy for the vast population of ordinary people in the Ganwu Universe Country.

Planetary-level cultivators were ordinary students, while Star-level cultivators were elite students.

From the Universe-level onward, one became an instructor known as a "Qian Wu Adept." Golden leaves were embroidered on the sleeves of their robes, ranging from one to three leaves, corresponding respectively to Universe-level, Domain Lord Level, and World Lord level.

He had only come to check in while he was there. Although he could have checked in through the Virtual Universe, since he had already come, meeting in person seemed more sincere.

Generally, the Ganwu Dojo established one dojo per galaxy. The Blue Silver Empire possessed ten galaxies, meaning ten dojos, and the one on Imperial Capital Star was naturally the highest-ranking.

Universe-level cultivators were major figures even in low-level nations. Thus, many of the most ordinary Ganwu Dojos did not even have a One-Leaf Qian Wu Adept. They were merely managed by Star-level elite students after graduation, hired as "instructors."

Only the dojo on Imperial Capital Star in the Blue Silver Empire had a One-Leaf Qian Wu Adept stationed there, and he was only at the Domain Seventh Layer. His comprehension of laws was not even as good as Wang Yu's.

Therefore, upon learning that Wang Yu had reached the ninth layer of the domain, he treated him very politely and asked about his plans.

Wang Yu straightforwardly told him that he planned to serve as chief instructor at the Ganwu Dojo in the Hunyuan Galaxy, where War God Star was located.

This was his plan. The Qian Wu Country Lord prohibited cultivation academies outside the Ganwu Dojo. Although Wang Yu could cultivate his subjects as a lord, he still had to send them to the Ganwu Dojo.

But the instructors at ordinary Ganwu Dojos were not even as strong as him!

Since that was the case, why not take charge of this himself?

The subjects he trained could be sent to the Ganwu Dojo under his management. Once they achieved results, they would all count as his major contributions to the Ganwu Dojo!

As long as he produced a few decent geniuses, he would soon gain the Ganwu Dojo's attention. Unless some earth-shattering conflict arose, even those stronger than him would not want to move against him lightly.

The One-Leaf Qian Wu Adept on Imperial Capital Star had no objections. He even breathed a sigh of relief.

One mountain could not hold two tigers. If another One-Leaf Qian Wu Adept came to squeeze into the Imperial Capital Star dojo, and that person was younger than him with a higher domain level, it would be terribly awkward for him!

Wang Yu voluntarily asked to manage another dojo. To him, that was a good thing—everyone could relax!

Finally, Wang Yu met with Jimmy, director of the Imperial Administrative Office.

Jimmy called him brother. They were not truly sworn brothers, but their relationship was indeed fairly good.

More than two hundred years ago, when Wang Yu had just arrived at the Ganwu Dojo as a Planetary-level cultivator, Jimmy had already been a Star-level elite student at the same dojo.

Wang Yu had decent talent and received Jimmy's guidance several times. Later, he quickly advanced to Star-level himself, and their interactions became more frequent. They had dealt with each other for over a century.

Jimmy had originally intended to wait for the Genius Battle and strive for a good performance to build his credentials. Unfortunately, trouble arose in his family within the Blue Silver Empire, and they urgently needed a Universe-level cultivator to hold the fort.

The Genius Battle was still more than a hundred years away, and there was no way he could wait that long. Jimmy could only helplessly give up the chance to polish his credentials, break through to Universe-level ahead of time, and return to oversee his family.

Since Wang Yu had good talent and would clearly have no problem breaking through to Universe-level, the two stayed in contact. After the Genius Battle, Wang Yu expressed his desire to join the Blue Silver Empire as a planetary lord, and Jimmy, in his capacity as director of the Imperial Administrative Office, secured better terms for him.

The planets he received might not have seemed impressive, but without Jimmy's help, other Universe-level cultivators would only have received worse ones.

For example, he at least had several planets near War God Star that were somewhat better in quality, with some subjects possessing ninth-grade bloodlines.

If they had been assigned to other Universe-level cultivators, usually only the main planet would be decent. The rest would be the worst life planets, all inhabited by subjects with tenth-grade bloodlines...

Since he had come to Imperial Capital Star, he naturally had to meet Jimmy.

Besides, he had serious business to discuss. He had not come merely to drink and chat casually with an old acquaintance. Taking the opportunity, he made his request: he wanted another fifty life planets as territory.

"Little brother, I didn't expect you to actually want to run your territory seriously," Jimmy said, somewhat surprised.

"Is it difficult to get more planetary territory?" Wang Yu asked.

"It's not difficult. The empire has ten galaxies of territory, each with hundreds of thousands of life planets. That adds up to several million. What does it matter if you ask for a few dozen more?" Jimmy said with a smile.

"Of course, there is no problem with letting you manage them, but we must make this clear: taxes must be paid on all of them. You absolutely cannot refuse to pay."

"And the planets will be at the same standard as the ones you currently have—the most ordinary kind. Even if I can secure a few slightly better ones for you, they can only be so much better."

"If you truly want higher-quality life planets, you can only pay to buy them. But that would be much more expensive!"

"Brother Jimmy, as far as I know, the average price of a life planet is around one trillion White Dragon Coins?" Wang Yu asked.

"More or less. The bottom-tier ones cost three or four hundred billion, the average is around one trillion, and exceptionally high-quality ones cost two or three trillion!" Jimmy sighed.

"If you are interested, buy one or two high-quality planets, then select some subjects with good talent and potential to move there. Many lords do this."

"Living in a high-quality environment will make it easier for them to produce more outstanding descendants in the future. In perhaps ten thousand years, you might cultivate a decent bloodline."

"It just costs quite a lot of money. It's up to you!"

Wang Yu nodded.

The Blue Silver Empire had ten galaxies and several million life planets. Giving him management rights over a hundred planets in total truly amounted to nothing, so it would not be hard to obtain.

But asking for more than that might not be so easy.

If he bought them himself, the average life planet cost one trillion White Dragon Coins, which was a little over one hundred thousand Universe Coins.

Even for a Universe-level cultivator, that was not a small sum.

Buying planets was not a problem, as long as he did not buy too many and make his wealth seem absurdly excessive, so...

"Brother Jimmy, please arrange it for me. I want to buy ten life planets at the one-trillion-White-Dragon-Coin level!" Wang Yu looked at Jimmy.

"How many?" Jimmy was startled.

"Ten. One hundred trillion White Dragon Coins in total!" Wang Yu repeated.
