261: Taoist Alliance’s hunting order!

Looking at Bai Qing's Foundation Establishment triple cultivation, Gu Liangyuan felt a pang of inexplicable heartache.

From her early stage talent, Bai Qing was not as good as Zai Xiyue.

Her talent required her to fully manifest only after comprehending the Law of Wealth.

Yet, despite managing Shui Mu City, Bai Qing's cultivation did not fall behind.

Her diligence was no less than that of the former Qianqiu.

Moreover, Bai Qing was unlike Qianqiu and the others; she always suppressed her emotions, keeping them hidden deep within her heart.

Behind the scenes, she silently gave her all.

After the shopkeepers left, Gu Liangyuan slowly revealed his form.

"Master!"

Bai Qing and Wan Wan exclaimed in surprise simultaneously.

Seeing Wan Wan pounce on him, Gu Liangyuan effortlessly picked her up.

Wan Wan affectionately rubbed against Gu Liangyuan's embrace, expressing her closeness.

Gu Liangyuan held Wan Wan and approached Bai Qing:

"I've seen everything in the city, and you've done exceptionally well."

Receiving her Master's praise, Bai Qing's face broke into a smile.

She felt as if all her recent fatigue had vanished.

"But you don't need to overwork yourself. To manage long-term, you must learn to delegate."

Bai Qing nodded:

"Disciple understands, but everything is just starting now, and I don't feel at ease handing it over to others."

"Once everything is on the right track, I will gradually delegate."

Gu Liangyuan nodded slightly, then took out some treasures and bestowed them.

Most of what was given to Bai Qing was practical.

Most of what was given to Wan Wan were damaged Magical Artifacts and Spirit Treasures, left for her as snacks.

However, this time, there was no high-multiplier return triggered; instead, returns of only a few tenths of a percent frequently appeared.

Only at the end of the System's prompt sound, an eight thousand times return was triggered:

"Ding, congratulations to the host for bestowing the Heavenly Rank Magical Artifact, Fine Gold Ruyi, triggering an eight thousand times return. Returned reward: Peaceful Yuan Treasure."

Name: Peaceful Yuan Treasure

Rank: Dao-Carrying Artifact

Function: Like Mo Tan Kill, it can carry the Wealth Dao Fruit, its size is as desired, its weight is as desired. In battle, it can be a great seal; in leisure, it nourishes the Dao Fruit.

After Gu Liangyuan clicked to claim it, the wealth yuan shen, which was sitting cross-legged in his Sea of Consciousness, suddenly opened its eyes.

The next moment, a golden Yuan Treasure appeared in its hand.

Then, holding the Yuan Treasure, it continued to close its eyes and rest.

Looking at the diverse Spirit Treasures within his body and in the mustard seed bracelet, Gu Liangyuan's lips unconsciously curved into a smile.

He couldn't use them all, simply couldn't use them all.

After some thought, Gu Liangyuan took out eight hundred immortal jade and gave them to Bai Qing.

Bai Qing's eyes widened a bit as she looked at the immortal jade in the Storage Pouch.

She managed the Tai Shang Sect's assets and knew the Tai Shang Sect's true strength. Excluding the Nine Revolutions Mysterious Skill and Spirit Treasures that couldn't be sold, the immortal jade in Revered Master's hands already exceeded the reserves in the Tai Shang Sect's treasury.

Although things like the Nine Revolutions Mysterious Skill were very valuable, as the foundation of the Tai Shang Sect, these items naturally couldn't be easily sold.

Gu Liangyuan said, "During this period, collect some Yao Beast essence blood for me. The higher the Rank, the better. Don't worry about the cost."

"As for the remaining immortal jade, you can procure some more from the Tai Shang Sect's treasury to make it a thousand, and go with your Senior Sister Light Eyebrow to the Gathering Treasure Pavilion to place our bet with Mo Emperor."

"Remember to do it in front of everyone."

"The rest, I don't need to teach you, right?"

Bai Qing nodded, indicating her understanding.

But then she said with some concern:

"But isn't this a bit too risky? It's not that I lack confidence in Revered Master; on the contrary, I have absolute faith in Revered Master."

"I'm just afraid that the Gathering Treasure Pavilion would rather risk being criticized by the world than renege on the deal."

"After all, the amount is too large, and the Gathering Treasure Pavilion is irreplaceable. Even if they breach the contract once, Cultivators in the world won't find a better trading place than the Gathering Treasure Pavilion and will still choose it."

Gu Liangyuan looked at Bai Qing, not expecting his Disciple to constantly bring him surprises.

To be able to think of this, it seems she has thoroughly grasped the business books he gave her.

Gu Liangyuan gently rubbed Bai Qing's head:

"Master will teach you another saying today: The foundation of controlling wealth is power."

"A child carrying gold through the market cannot escape death."

"A general carrying jade into the city, no one dares to provoke."

"The people of Gathering Treasure Pavilion are not fools. We have unified Eastern Continent and even defeated Mo Emperor. Do they dare to break their promise?"

Bai Qing suddenly bowed, "Disciple has learned a valuable lesson!"

Gu Liangyuan said, "It's already very good that you can think this far. Keep up the hard work. I shall depart."

With that, Gu Liangyuan's figure vanished.

When he reappeared, he was already at Forget-Love Peak.

After Gu Liangyuan learned from Lü Qingmei that nearly a hundred more forces had joined the Dao Alliance, an idea formed in his mind.

The next day, a piece of news spread from within the Supreme Sacred Ground.

"Dao Alliance Leader Gu Liangyuan has issued a kill order! Regardless of cultivation strength, regardless of which continent one is in, with or without influence, anyone can accept the order!"

"Anyone who kills a Qi Refining Disciple of Hongyun Palace will receive ten Top-Grade Spirit Stones! Anyone who kills a Foundation Establishment Disciple of Hongyun Palace will receive one hundred Top-Grade Spirit Stones! Anyone who kills a Golden Core Disciple will receive one Low Grade Earth Rank Magical Artifact! Anyone who kills a Nascent Soul Realm Cultivator will receive one Medium Grade Heavenly Rank Magical Artifact!"

"Anyone who kills a Soul Transformation Cultivator will receive one Top Grade Heavenly Rank Magical Artifact and one volume of Small Divine Abilities!"

"Anyone who kills a Void Refining Cultivator will receive one Low Grade Spirit Treasure, two volumes of Small Divine Abilities, and one opportunity to request aid from the Dao Alliance!"

"Anyone who kills a Body Integration Cultivator will receive one Medium Grade Spirit Treasure, one volume of Great Divine Power, one opportunity to request aid from the Dao Alliance, and one guidance session from the Alliance Leader."

"Anyone who kills a Mahayana Cultivator will receive one High Grade Spirit Treasure, one volume of Great Divine Power, one volume of Nine Revolutions Mysterious Skill, an opportunity for Dao Alliance aid, and guidance from the Alliance Leader."

"Anyone who kills an Undergoing Tribulation Cultivator will receive one Top Grade Spirit Treasure, two volumes of Great Divine Power, one volume of Nine Revolutions Mysterious Skill, two catties of Enlightenment Tea Leaves, and an opportunity for Dao Alliance aid."

"For members of the Dao Alliance, rewards are doubled!"

Gu Liangyuan had once lacked Spirit Stones, but he had never lacked Divine Abilities or Spirit Treasures!

What he lacked were mid-to-low-end Materials suitable for his Disciples.

Gu Liangyuan's reserves, combined with the wealth of the two Holy Lands, could completely cover the cost of these promised items.

As soon as this order was issued, the Five Continents were shaken!

Especially those Cultivators above the Soul Transformation Rank.

The Cultivation World always had more mid-to-low-end Heaven And Earth Treasures and fewer high-end ones.

But the problem was, the further one cultivated, the more Heaven And Earth Treasures were needed.

Therefore, there were many Loose Cultivators before Soul Transformation, but after Soul Transformation, most Loose Cultivators had to bow to reality and become offerings to a certain Family, or Elders in a large sect.

Great Divine Power, Nine Revolutions Mysterious Skill, any one of these items, if placed in a Holy Land, would be considered a foundational asset.

Especially the Nine Revolutions Mysterious Skill, which was almost impossible for non-core personnel to obtain.

Even if they could obtain it, it was mostly Incomplete Manuals.

After all, the forces they belonged to still needed the latter half of the manual to control their hearts, thereby making them serve them.

They understood this principle but were powerless to do anything about it.

Killing one Cultivator could yield such rewards; they couldn't help but be tempted!

Let alone them, even those Holy Lands were tempted!

One more Nine Revolutions Mysterious Skill would deepen the Holy Land's foundation by one point.

Killing a Mahayana Cultivator, this deal was still very worthwhile.

Upon receiving this news, the Loose Cultivators' eyes immediately turned red!

While they coveted the Divine Abilities and the Nine Revolutions Mysterious Skill, what they most desired was that one opportunity to request aid from the Dao Alliance!

The life of a Loose Cultivator was not easy, and it became increasingly difficult in the later stages.

When traveling outside, no one knew if they would provoke a powerful enemy.

But with the Dao Alliance's promise, it was different.
