Chapter 9: The Difficulties of Being the Master

After Xiao Bai sat in the Twenty-Eight Heavenly Palace for a while, he returned home and returned to his Twenty-Seven Heavenly Palace.

After Xiao Bai left, Ye Feng couldn't help but secretly make a small calculation in his heart. The twenty-eight sword god powerhouses of the Sword Hall, each occupying a mountain, looked extraordinary, but in fact, how could Ye Feng not know the thoughts of the Heavenly Sword Old Man.

On the Tian Yuan Continent, the biggest regret of the Sword Hall is that it is weak, and when it encounters major events, it is often in a disadvantageous position.

It is precisely because of the extensive network resources of the Outer Heaven and the need to make up for the disadvantages of the Sword Hall that it is the Old Man of the Heavenly Sword who is so generous to build so many Heavenly Palaces in one go.

It is beyond reproach that each family takes care of their own mountains, but there is still a desire to compete with each other. Although many of the same sects in the Sword Hall are all as close as a family, once they are really compared in private, the strength of their disciples is weak, and those who lack materials on their own mountains will inevitably become the target of ridicule by others.

Only with competition can there be the motivation and passion for progress, for the arrangement of the old man of the Heavenly Sword, Ye Feng raised his hands in approval. Moreover, after learning that in addition to the four emperors who acted vigorously and resolutely, it was not the only family in the Sword Hall, Ye Feng felt that he had to strengthen the power of the Sword Hall, so that he could not be bullied in the future and protect his relatives and friends.

According to Ye Feng's orders, those powerhouses above the Sword Venerable all entered the Heavenly Palace after an hour.

As soon as these people entered the Heavenly Palace, Ye Feng found that there were more Sword Venerable powerhouses above the fourth level in the Twenty-Eight Heavenly Palace than he expected, and there were thirty-two people.

The leader of the thirty-two was a ninth-level peak sword venerable who looked to be over forty years old, but was actually nearly one hundred and thirty years old, and his body exuded a majestic aura.

After this Sword Venerable introduced himself, Ye Feng knew that the ninth-level Sword Venerable in front of him named Fang Ai was actually the former monarch of a country with a population of 300 million in the Outer Heavens.

It's just that in Fang Ai's opinion, ruling a country is definitely not as chic as a god. It was because after his eldest son became an adult, he did not hesitate to defect to the Sword Hall Divine Sect who had saved his life decades ago.

In addition to Fang Ai being a ninth-level Sword Venerable powerhouse, there was also a person named Sun Feng among the people, who was also a ninth-level Sword Venerable powerhouse. As a native of Outer Heaven, Sun Feng's identity is not as noble as Fang Ai, but he is also a marquis-level figure of a large empire in Outer Heaven, and he also has a strong command ability.

In the past, when Ye Feng had not yet come to the Twenty-Eight Heavenly Palace, it was these two people who took care of the Heavenly Palace, and it was those extremely powerful Sword Venerable powerhouses that would admire the two of them.

After meeting with everyone, Ye Feng was not polite, and directly asked Fang Ai about the huge family business of the Twenty-Eight Heavenly Palace, and what support he had been relying on.

Although Xiao Bai also said that every year the Old Man of Heavenly Sword would distribute some wealth to the major Heavenly Palaces, Ye Feng did not think that these wealth could support the operation of the entire Heavenly Palace. And after having the experience of seeing the operation of the Feng Alliance before, Ye Feng is no longer a rookie who knows nothing, and knows that it is absolutely not enough to feed tens of thousands of people.

Hearing that Ye Feng asked about the financial source of the Twenty-Eight Heavenly Palace, Fang Ai immediately showed a trace of embarrassment. He hesitated for a long time, and when he saw Ye Feng's face showing anger, he explained the current situation of the Twenty-Eight Heavenly Palace little by little.

The personnel of the Twenty-Eight Heavenly Palaces are all assigned by the Old Man of Heavenly Sword, and there will be no change unless the personnel die. In the past, when Ye Feng was not there, the people of the Twenty-Eight Heavenly Palace had been eating the fixed money issued by the old man of the Heavenly Sword. But even so, the situation of the people is very difficult.

In the past few years before Ye Feng arrived, most of them were Fang Ai and Sun Feng raising funds from the outside world. The channels for them to recruit funds are nothing more than relying on their children and grandchildren who are still in the secular world, and the consumption of sword cultivation is by no means comparable to that of ordinary poor people, even Fang Ai and Sun Feng are really embarrassed to return to the secular world to ask for money and things at the moment.

Fang Ai and Sun Feng's introduction of money made Ye Feng dumbfounded. Originally, he thought that no matter how bad he was, he was also the master of the Heavenly Palace, but he didn't expect that he, the master, was now a negative asset.

Thinking of the situation of the Twenty-Eight Heavenly Palace, Ye Feng naturally thought of how the other Sword Hall Patriarchs dealt with these things.

It's okay not to ask, this inquiry is not only Ye Feng speechless, but Murong Tongtian and Shangguan Leiting, who are guests, are even more stunned.

The old man of the Heavenly Sword is impartial in his work, and he will not be biased towards others, which also leads to the fact that the current capital turnover of all the Heavenly Palaces in the Sword Hall is not smooth.

However, the ancestor of the Sword Hall has a way, and if they don't have money, they will go into business. Their so-called business is not run like a secular businessman, but from time to time, they will go out to plunder some resources.

According to Fang Ai, when Xiao Bai first arrived at the Twenty-Seven Heavenly Palace, he was also unable to make ends meet, and it was difficult to continue. However, Xiao Bai has a way to make money, and soon grasped the key to making a fortune, and has become a robber who will go out to do a few big deals when he is short of money.

By now, Ye Feng understood why the Sword Hall Patriarch was so relaxed when he said that he killed Ding Muyang.

It is estimated that this kind of thing is killing people and overselling goods, and the ancestor of Jiantang has also been doing it for a long time, and he has long been accustomed to it. As for Ye Feng's comprehension of the essence of survival in this place as soon as he entered the Outer Heavens, many Sword Hall Patriarchs felt more, and I am afraid that they still praised Ye Feng for being better than blue.

Of course, when the Sword Hall Patriarch went out to rob, he didn't go out to rob indiscriminately, nor did he harass those secular countries. If that is the case, don't say that there will be no one left in the Heavenly Palace, and I am afraid that the Sword Hall will have been destroyed by the Four Emperors of Resolute and Resolute Action.

The ancestors of the Sword Hall are all scheming and calculating, and they have long seized the opportunity of the four emperors to act vigorously and resolutely, regardless of the power disputes, so they went to rob those forces who also have a strong background, and even robbed the strong sword gods. Only in this way can the Sword Hall Patriarch live an extremely nourishing life, and even have the leisure to return his divine thoughts to the Tianyuan Continent to teach Ye Feng, a junior.

"Do you want to be a robber from time to time in the future?" Ye Feng thought to himself.

After a moment of silence, he handed over all the wealth he had plundered from Ding Muyang to Fang Ai, and asked how long the money could support the expenses of the Heavenly Palace.

Ye Feng snatched hundreds of millions of wealth in Ding Muyang's space ring. Such a huge amount of wealth on the Tian Yuan Continent was enough to support the Yin Shang Kingdom to rebuild the imperial capital.

But after Fang Ai and Sun Feng's calculations, Ye Feng knew that the money he took out was currently only enough for the Twenty-Eight Heavenly Palace to last for three months.

In the Twenty-Eight Heavenly Palace, the biggest consumption is not the eating, drinking, and Lasa of the personnel, but the loss of the disciples in the process of practicing. The abundance of Heaven and Earth Vitality determined that it was not difficult for Sword Cultivator to absorb Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi. However, it is precisely because there is aura everywhere in the outside world that can be absorbed, the sword cultivators among these aborigines are far inferior to outsiders like Ye Feng in terms of sensing aura and absorbing aura at a speed.

In order to speed up the absorption of spiritual energy and increase the speed of one's own cultivation, some people have researched a magic crystal that can compress spiritual energy. This hedron is able to absorb the aura on its own, which is then compressed into a liquid. However, because these magic crystals are one-time consumables, the cost of magic crystals accounts for nearly 80% of the total consumption of Tiangong.

In addition to the magic crystal, there are also spirit bacteria that can promote sword cultivation to quickly increase the energy in the body. However, for the Heavenly Sword Old Man and their sword god powerhouses, the spirit fungus itself is not enough for their own use, so they naturally will not give it to the disciples of the sect, they can only know that the price of the magic crystal is high, but they still provide it for the disciples.

According to Fang Ai, the magic crystal is divided into three grades: upper, middle and lower. Among them, the value of the lower-grade magic crystal in the outer heaven and the world has been as high as 100 gold, and the price of the more powerful middle-grade magic crystal is as high as 1000 gold.

A person consuming one magic crystal a day is equivalent to eating a hundred taels of gold, and the billions of wealth provided by Ye Feng that Fang Ai said can be used for three months, and this is still the result of his careful calculation.

Fang Ai's introduction made Ye Feng feel his head big for a while, and he slapped his head with his hand. Until now, he regretted giving Cang Juezi a hundred catties of spirit mushrooms, you must know that Fang Ai said that spirit fungi can also be exchanged for magic crystals in the outside world, one pound of spirit mushrooms is enough to exchange for a thousand medium-grade magic crystals, Ye Feng doesn't know that firewood, rice, oil and salt are expensive, this time he made a generous move, which is equivalent to sending out his own mountain for more than a month's expenses.

Seeing that Fang Ai was still standing under the stage, Ye Feng sighed helplessly. With a shake of his hand, he threw the three hundred catties of spirit fungus in the space ring directly to Fang Ai, and said: "Fang Ai, you take these spirit fungi first, find a way to exchange them for magic crystals, and use them for the sword cultivators in the Heavenly Palace first, as for the rest of the money, I will find a way, you can rest assured, since you follow me, I will not let you suffer, and I will definitely let you have a peaceful cultivation environment in the future." ”

Fang Ai looked at the hundreds of catties of spiritual fungi in front of him, and his eyeballs almost fell out of his eyes. For Ye Feng, who only saw the second side, he didn't have much emotion except for being in awe of Ye Feng's strength.

But now that he saw Ye Feng shaking his hand, it was three hundred catties of spirit fungus, and he knew that the palace master in front of him was probably more capable than other gods in the Sword Hall. At least Fang Ai knew that until now, among all the Heavenly Palaces in the Sword Hall, only Ye Feng was so generous, and there were so many spirit fungi as soon as he made a move.

"Actually, young master, I don't think you have to take out these spirit mushrooms. Although Fang Ai was also in dire need of the spirit fungus, he still said so.

Seeing that Ye Feng looked puzzled by the meaning of his words, Fang Ai smiled and said, "Young Master, with the money you just took out, our Heavenly Palace can still support it for two months, and you can do a few big deals in these two months, just like other gods in the Sword Hall." And the young master may not know that although the spirit fungus can exchange magic crystals, no one will do that. You must know that the spirit fungus is a supply issued by the four emperors to the gods, and who would exchange the spirit fungus for a magic crystal. ”

Looking at Fang Ai, who was not smiling, Ye Feng's eyes showed a hint of surprise. Fang Ai's words were subtle, but how could he not hear that the other party wanted him to plunder as well.

Regarding the plunder, Ye Feng had no resistance. It's just that if he really decided to do it, Ye Feng knew that he couldn't be too hasty. He had already decided to ask Xiao Bai right away, if the Sword God powerhouse was a robber, and if he needed some special procedures.

Someone in the book review section asked Tiger why he only changed it recently, which is really sorry. Tiger has been doing too much at home recently, and in addition to the elderly, only I can run alone, if I am not busy, the tiger will definitely have two more, as for the debt, there is a chance that the tiger will make up. Thank you for your understanding.
