881 The Preparation (1/2)
Fatty said in reassuring tones, ”These alone could recruit ten experts of fourth-level Honor and above, without difficulty! Your Residence of Nine Supremes could be set up at any time, boss. I miss the crystals you wasted away even more now. How could you? How can you do that?”
Fourth-level Honor…
In all honesty, Yun Yang was not quite satisfied with this somewhat lowly rank.
It was simply impossible to contest for a lower class Celestial Luck Banner by relying on a few measly fourth-level Honors. It might, however, be done with several Saints…
Yun Yang glared.
”Can you talk about something else? I'll use my crystals however I like them… Are you certain it can be done so simply? Are you underestimating the challenge?”
Fatty chuckled and said, ”It is truly that simple. Once the agreement is signed and before the amethyst's energy is drained, no one will violate the contract. In other words, they won't infringe the agreement for at least a hundred years!”
”I see. What I meant by succeeding and you underestimating it is regarding the acknowledgment you have about my purpose of establishing the Residence of Nine Supremes. If it's only about recruiting experts, I really don't have to go to you, do I?”
”What I need are brothers who can toil and share my ambitions, not fighters who come to work for you for a piece of Celestial Amethyst! If that kind of fighter could work under me for a piece of Celestial Amethyst, who knows if they'll stab my back for greater benefits? The sect I build is meant to soar into the nine heavens!” said Yun Yang lightly.
”Pardon? Soar into the nine heavens?” Qian Duoduo was stunned for a moment before he asked carefully, ”May I ask your final destination?”
”My short term goal can be considered partially achieved if I can enter the Eastern Celestial Court…”
Yun Yang thought about it and felt that he should be more reserved. He should not be too boastful, he had just arrived here.
Fatty's brain made an almost audible clanking sound. He fell to the ground with a thud and spoke in a wavering voice, ”Big – big brother… let's stop here for now… My head is spinning, I'm so dizzy…”
Fatty had seen from the beginning that his newly acknowledged boss was rather extraordinary. His way of doing things was not of the norm and he had a bag full of tricks. He had an oddly good eye as well, shrewd and perceptive. Other than the temporary unfamiliarity with the Bound of Universe, everything else about him was quite impressive.
He knew that his boss held monumental ambitions as well, but what he did not expect was his ambition to be so lofty... it seemed to have no limit!
The Eastern Celestial Palace! At least, in addition! Why not in subtraction? At least!
To make matters worse, that was only the short term goal... what was that about?
Did your parents know that you were so ambitious? That you thought so well and you could just go straight into heaven?
As Fatty chastised his sect leader inwardly, he saw Yun Yang hum and stand at the mountain's tip as he stared at an area surrounded by faraway peaks. He spoke faintly, ”I think that place is suitable. Mountains surround all three sides of it while one peak takes the limelight. Let's head over and check it out. We'll do it there if it's fine.”
Yun Yang was already drifting towards the said destination as he spoke.
”Once our location has been set up, you try and sell these ten pieces of Celestial Amethyst out and build up our assets.”
”No!”
Fatty was panicking. Those were the Celestial Amethysts! How many people had not seen even one throughout their entire life? Now that they had it in possession, it was to be sold away?
'This is investing in your enemies, you bastard!'
'If you're so brilliant, really, just go straight to heaven. Don't harass my weak soul here in the mortal realm; I can't take it!'
”Boss, let us discuss this. Can we not sell the Celestial Amethyst…”
”Pardon? Not sell them? How do we get our money then?”
”Well…”
”How do we establish our sect without money?”
”Well…”
”What ambitions and goals are we talking about if we can't even set up the sect?”
