Chapter 461 The Rise of the Star Pavilion, Iron-Blooded Expansion
Startled, Xiao Qiushui screamed, instantly recalling the scene from more than half a year ago when Zhao Cai sprayed her mouth with excrement and urine. She quickly dodged, covering her mouth, nose, and cheeks with both hands.
You absolutely must not let this ugly little chicken spray your face with excrement and urine. If you do it like Wu Xuemei, you'll really lose face.
This scene made everyone burst into laughter, and they all recalled the funny incident from more than half a year ago when Zhao Cai humiliated Wu Xuemei.
Zhao Cai's poop and pee missed their mark. It squeaked twice and jumped back onto Shen Rugo's shoulder, staring at Xiao Qiushui with disdain in its eyes, as if to say, "Little thing, if you dare to humiliate me again, I'll pee on you until you die!"
With Zhao Cai's witty remarks, the slightly oppressive atmosphere quickly dissipated.
The crowd looked at Zhao Cai with a newfound respect; there was no doubt that the little pet their junior sister was raising was no ordinary creature.
You must know that those rare and precious herbs containing immense fire-attribute spiritual power are something that even Golden Core cultivators like Xiao Changkong, who is about to reach the peak of the Golden Core stage, would never dare to swallow at the same time, otherwise they would definitely explode and die.
But after Zhao Cai swallowed it, not only did his stomach not change at all, but he also didn't emit any heat from his body, as if he had only eaten three candies. This was really terrifying.
"Fellow senior brothers, since Fifth Senior Brother has brought out these treasures, let's consider them public resources. In addition to these, please feel free to choose what you need."
Of course, some of these are useful to me, and I'll take some!
Shen Rugo urged the group to select cultivation resources once again.
"But……"
Xiao Changkong looked at Shen Rugo and Xiao Qiushui again. After all, Shen Rugo and Xiao Qiushui were the two youngest among them. It would be a loss of face for them, as the senior brothers, to share the things with their junior brothers and sisters.
Helpless, Shen Rugo simply took out a lot of rare and precious materials from Xiao Qiushui's treasures first: "I know alchemy, and these are all excellent alchemy materials, so I'll take them first."
"Junior Sister, you can take all of these!"
Seeing that Shen Rugo had actually accepted her treasure, Xiao Qiushui was overjoyed.
"This is enough for me, you can divide the rest among yourselves."
How about this, Senior Brother, you take full control and distribute whatever everyone needs. I won't interfere here.
However, I must warn you beforehand: I will return to check after an incense stick has burned. If there is still one item left, I will destroy them all!
Shen Rugo understood why her five senior brothers were holding back, so she simply took Zhao Cai and went out.
After Shen Rugo left, the five people exchanged glances and finally looked at Xiao Changkong.
"Since Junior Sister has spoken, let's do as she says. I don't need to distribute them. Take what you need yourself, and the faster the better!"
Xiao Changkong spoke.
Shen Rugo has gone to such lengths; it would be rude of them to refuse.
In no more than half an incense stick's time, the five people came out.
Xiao Changkong took a deep breath, "Junior Sister, don't worry! We, your senior brother, will live up to your expectations. We will cultivate diligently, break through our current realm as soon as possible, complete the task you have given us, and defeat all our competitors in the sect competition two years from now!"
"That's right! We will never let our junior sister down, and we will never let the Star Palace down!"
Chen Tianba and the others responded with a resounding roar, their voices loud and clear, full of fighting spirit.
Watching her five senior brothers leave with gratitude and determination, Shen Rugo breathed a sigh of relief. She glanced again at the meager resources remaining in her storage bag and shook her head: "A drop in the ocean..."
It seems we must accelerate the construction of the Star Pavilion, and more importantly, we must find new ancient relics!
Once she made up her mind, Shen Rugo immediately contacted Lietian through a specially made 50,000-mile transmission talisman.
"Owner!"
Lie Tian's respectful voice rang out.
"How is the chamber of commerce being established? Is there any news about ancient ruins?"
Shen Rugo got straight to the point.
"Reporting to Master, the framework of the Chamber of Commerce has been initially established, and more than a thousand people have been recruited, mostly independent cultivators and members of small families. Currently, they have only opened shops in three small cities, and business is quite slow."
As for the ancient or prehistoric ruins you mentioned, there's no news on them yet!
“This kind of development is too slow.” Shen Rugo’s voice was cold. “Lietian, change your strategy. Abandon slow infiltration and directly carry out aggressive acquisitions and mergers!”
Lie Tian was taken aback: "What does Master mean?"
"Our target is all cultivation trading markets within a 100,000-mile radius of the Star Palace! Especially those small and medium-sized merchant guilds with multiple shops—take them first! With our current strength, we can easily sweep them away!"
Shen Rugo's words were filled with murderous intent, "Remember, either submit and join the Star Pavilion, or disappear completely!"
Extraordinary times call for extraordinary measures!
As for powerful merchant guilds like Wanbaoge, leave them alone for now.
Lie Tian, originally a ferocious beast, believed in the law of the jungle where the strong prey on the weak. Upon hearing this, he not only did not find it cruel, but became excited instead: "I will obey Master's order! Haha, it should have been done long ago! Master, rest assured, in the past three months, the five of us brothers have recruited two more Nascent Soul stage fellow Daoists to join us. Now, Star Pavilion has a total of nine Nascent Soul stage Daoists under its command! In this northwest corner, we can walk sideways!"
Nine Nascent Soul cultivators! This is indeed a force capable of overturning the regional landscape.
With a firm resolve, Shen Rugo added, "Remember, swallowing is not the goal; integrating resources and opening up channels are the key."
During the acquisition process, we should pay attention to recruiting useful talents, especially those familiar with business operations, and make sure they are put to good use.
If resistance is encountered, suppress it with swift and decisive action, ensuring a sensational effect and spreading the name of the Star Pavilion throughout the Northwest Region in a short time!
"Yes!"
Lie Tian accepted the order, his voice filled with bloodthirsty anticipation.
Over the next two months, an unprecedented bloodbath swept through the cultivation and business communities within a radius of 100,000 li in the northwest region of the Star Palace.
Tian Shu City, Zhang Family Chamber of Commerce Headquarters.
The head of the Zhang family, a late-stage Golden Core cultivator, glared angrily at the envoy sent by the Rift Sky Sect: "What are you Star Pavilion people? You want to swallow up my Zhang family's century-old foundation? You're dreaming!"
The envoy was merely a Foundation Establishment Peak cultivator, yet he showed no fear and coldly said, "Patriarch Zhang, a wise man submits to circumstances. My Star Pavilion has nine Nascent Soul Ancestors. I'll give you the time it takes for an incense stick to burn to consider whether you will merge with the Chamber of Commerce and share in the glory, or face the extermination of your clan and death?"
"Nine, nine Nascent Soul cultivators? You're talking complete nonsense!"
How could a fledgling, small-scale merchant guild possibly have so many Nascent Soul cultivators? Are you all just swindlers and cheaters?
The Zhang family head's expression changed slightly, then he sneered and retorted, not believing it at all.
But as soon as he finished speaking, a terrifying pressure instantly enveloped the entire Zhang family mansion.
Even though he was at the Golden Core stage, he knelt down with a thud. This pressure undoubtedly came from a Nascent Soul expert.
"Now, the choice is either extermination or submission?"
The Foundation Establishment Envoy's voice was cold and sharp, his face full of arrogance.
