Great Desolation Money House Achieves Completion

Bo Huang chuckled upon hearing Jieyin's question and said, "Naturally, we want to put your minds at ease. The head cashier of our Money House is none other than Saint Hongyun. A Saint from our Demon Sect wouldn't covet your possessions, so you can all rest assured, right? After all, we're not like the future Saints of Mount Sumeru." He teased Jieyin with his words.

Dijiang chimed in, "Of course, we're at ease. Hongyun's character is trustworthy. After all, he's known as a good person throughout the Great Desolation."

The Three Pure Ones and a host of other powerful beings also nodded in agreement. After speaking, Bo Huang pointed to the sky and swore, "Heavenly Dao above, I, Bo Huang, now declare the establishment of the Great Desolation Money House, a place for all transactions in the Great Desolation, a path for trade, established!"

"Rumble rumble," the Heavenly Dao responded, bestowing Merit. Seventy percent went to Bo Huang, and thirty percent went to the Money House.

Jieyin looked at the Merit with intense longing, as Becoming a Saint was precisely what he lacked Merit for.

After the Money House opened, the Heavenly Court's fortune surged, and many people came to deposit Merit. Of course, there were exceptions.

For instance, Jieyin directly approached the Money House and asked, "How much Merit will it cost to have the Witch Clan release my junior brother Zhunti?"

Hongyun looked at Jieyin before him and said, "This is quite a significant business deal. I'll need to discuss with everyone whether to accept it or not."

Then, Hongyun transmitted a message to Bo Huang, "Jieyin wants to hire our Money House to deal with Zhunti. Bo Huang, what do you think? Can we take this deal?"

Bo Huang was also a bit bewildered. He walked over to the Ancestor Witches who were eating and drinking in the backyard, then tapped Dijiang's table and said, "Dijiang, Jieyin wants to hire our Money House to save Zhunti. What do you think we should do?"

Dijiang, looking confused, replied, "Zhunti? No, my little sister is close to fully comprehending her cultivation technique. We can't save him."

Bo Huang said, "Is it possible that I didn't intend to save Zhunti, but just wanted to mention it to you all, and perhaps you could... on your way..." He made a gesture.

Zhu Jiuyin chuckled and said, "Understood. You want us to beat Jieyin half to death so he also needs to recover? Just say it directly, why beat around the bush? We're grateful for you teaching us how to break through."

About three quarters of an hour later, Hongyun said, "This is quite a significant business deal. How much capital can Daoist Jieyin offer?"

Jieyin replied, "Those who have achieved Sainthood have residual Merit. I'll give all the residual Merit from myself and my junior brother Zhunti to the Money House. How about that?"

Hongyun thought of the massive amount of Merit he had left over from his own breakthrough to Sainthood and once again sought out Bo Huang and the others to discuss. Bo Huang thought to himself, If we agree to this, then I'll be a complete fool. Merit left over after becoming a Saint? Those two are famously loan shark Saints in later generations. What a joke.

With this thought, Bo Huang stopped lingering in the backyard with the Ancestor Witches. He transformed into a rainbow and flew to the Money House, saying, "Jieyin, are you playing us for fools?"

Jieyin asked, "How am I playing you for fools?"

Bo Huang laughed, "Without any collateral, why should I trust you? You know, your reputation isn't exactly stellar... Hmm, if you become a Saint and don't repay the debt, we'll have to come and collect? Saints are immortal and indestructible, how can I possibly get my money back?"

Jieyin pondered for a moment and asked, "Then what should we do?"

Bo Huang said, "I'll go and call the Twelve Ancestor Witches here. You can discuss it with them." With that, Bo Huang transformed into a rainbow and left.

Not long after, the Twelve Ancestor Witches arrived at the Money House. Bo Huang said, "It's him. He wants to save Zhunti. You all discuss it amongst yourselves. Just a heads-up, no fighting is allowed inside the Money House."

Dijiang casually took out a Yin Yang Profound Dragon Halberd and said, "This is a High-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure. Give me an estimate of its value?"

Hongyun took it and examined it, saying, "A good item. How about three hundred thousand Merit Gold Coins?"

Dijiang nodded and said, "Agreed, let's do that."

Then, Dijiang looked at Jieyin and said, "The Money House said you want to save your junior brother Zhunti. This matter is too troublesome, and they don't want to get involved. They told me to discuss the price directly with you."

Jieyin replied, "I'll say the same thing. Once my junior brother and I achieve Sainthood, we can give all our remaining Merit. If your Witch Clan agrees, it will all be yours. Let the Money House act as a witness. What do you think?"

Dijiang nodded and said to Gou Mang, "Go and find out how much Merit other Saints have left after achieving Sainthood?"

******************** (I am a mischievous divider)

Not long after, Gou Mang returned and said, "The amount varies for each Saint. According to Ling Zhuzi from Wa Huang Palace, Empress Nuwa's remaining Merit is equivalent to sixty million. The Three Pure Ones are around fifty million each. As for Saint Hongyun..."

Hongyun nodded and said, "It's all about the same. My worth is forty-seven million."

Dijiang nodded and said to Ru Shou, "Take these three hundred thousand Merit Gold Coins and buy some meat. See how much you can get. Hmm, try to find Bi Fang. Kunpeng is currently cultivating Primordial Golden Immortal and won't be selling meat."

Ru Shou returned and said, "I've asked many demon kings, and they are all willing to sell us meat. What Bo Huang said is indeed feasible. Fair trade naturally eliminates enmity."
