Chapter 318: The Saint, Is He Not Going to Run His Chamber of Commerce Anymore?

The scene was like a farce, making people laugh and cry at the same time.

Above the clouds, several Pavilion Masters watched this scene, all feeling their faces burn with embarrassment.

Fortunately, Wang Mu was one of their own. Otherwise, if outsiders saw this scene, where would the Northern Dark Holy Land put its face?

A bunch of unpromising ones; for a few benefits, they have lost all sense of shame!

But having said that, Wang Mu's generosity is truly extravagant!

The visual impact of those two Spirit Medicine mountains was truly astonishing. If it were them back at the Golden Core Stage, they would likely have lost their minds completely upon seeing these things.

"Ahem, ahem…" Luo Xuanshuang's expression was slightly awkward, her mood complex. "This brat still cannot break the habit of being so lavish. I hope you all are not laughing at him."

"Not at all, not at all! The Saint is benevolent and cannot bear to see suffering or injury. He has the heart of a Bodhisattva; the entire Northern Region knows this. We old bones all admire him greatly!"

"Indeed, indeed!"

"…"

Below, looking at the crowd of Northern Dark Holy Land Prodigies gathered around, Wang Mu was also left speechless with a wry smile.

Fortunately, he had come prepared.

He raised his hand slightly to signal for everyone to be quiet, then smiled and said, "Senior Brothers and Senior Sisters, let's call it a day for the sparring!"

Upon hearing this, expressions of disappointment appeared on everyone's faces.

However, the next moment, Wang Mu continued, "However, you are all one-in-a-million Prodigies, about to represent our Northern Dark Holy Land to head to the Jade Pool Grotto-Heaven and clash with the Prodigies of other powers!"

"This is a glorious event, and I, Wang, yearn for it as well. Although I know I cannot fulfill this wish, I still want to do my best to do something for you all!"

"Therefore, before coming, I prepared a small gift for all the Senior Brothers and Senior Sisters who are about to participate in the Jade Pool Grotto-Heaven!"

The scene went quiet instantly. All the Disciples were pleasantly surprised.

"Prepared a gift for us?"

"Whoa, is this for real? Does everyone have one?"

"The Young Lord is so generous!"

"…"

High above, Elder Tiandan looked slightly surprised and gazed at Luo Xuanshuang, "The Saint is actually this thoughtful?"

Luo Xuanshuang shook her head and said, "He did not mention this to me either."

…

Wang Mu took out a separate Storage Pouch and handed it to the Elder beside him, "Please, distribute these!"

The Elder was stunned, took it subconsciously, and probed it with his Divine Sense. Instantly, he froze in place.

He looked at Wang Mu, finding it hard to believe, "Young Lord, you… did you take the wrong one?"

Wang Mu nodded with a smile, "How could I have taken the wrong one? There are exactly ninety-nine gifts, one for each person!"

The Elder was finally convinced. But his expression remained dazed, and it took a while for him to recover. He turned to face the Disciples, looking at those faces filled with anticipation, and swallowed with difficulty.

Then, he raised his hand and tossed it lightly. The Storage Pouch flew high up, the opening loosened, and the next moment the sky lost its color; everyone's eyes were so stimulated by the intense treasure light that they could not keep them open.

It was as if a sun had appeared in mid-air. Vast treasure Qi poured out from within, like a great river flowing above the clouds, the misty rosy clouds seeming to condense into substance, flowing around everyone.

"Holy crap!"

"What… what are these things?"

"Yin and Yang Harmonizing Vine, a precious medicine that can greatly increase the speed of Spiritual Qi refinement in a short time; it is one of the best choices when breaking through a Realm!"

"Extreme Transformation Pill, after consuming it, one's magic power, cultivation, Physical Body, and other aspects will be greatly enhanced for a short time. It is a Spirit Pill that temporarily boosts combat power in battle, and the side effects are minimal!"

"And that over there, Millennium Cold Jade Milk, a rare treasure for tempering Magic Treasures! It can be used on almost any Magic Treasure. As long as you ask an Artifact Refiner to add just a little bit into your own Magic Treasure, the power can be greatly enhanced!"

"Ground-Traversing Golden Light Talisman, a rare Talisman that can increase escape speed by ten times. It can be used in conjunction with the Great Void Talisman, and the effect is outstanding…"

"Third-tier Thunder Destruction Bead, as long as it hits, it can easily severely injure a Golden Core Stage Cultivator. How many of these are there?"

"…"

Everyone was dazzled, even the many Elders with extraordinary experience widened their eyes.

Wang Mu's investment was too great. Healing medicine, Breakthrough medicine, detoxification pills, Talismans for combat, treasures for escaping, rare items to boost the power of Magic Treasures, and so on. It covered every aspect.

It is no exaggeration to say that with this configuration, if you were to equip any Golden Core Stage Cultivator with a set, their real combat power would instantly soar several times over.

The most critical point is, how many Spirit Stones would all these things add up to? It is hard to calculate; it is definitely an astronomical figure.

These Holy Land Disciples had not never seen treasures; on the contrary, they had seen too many. In the entire Northern Region, not many could have broader experience than them. But at this moment, they were still plunged into a daze.

This gift that Wang Mu gave out was so heavy… it gave them the feeling that Wang Mu wanted to buy their lives. In fact, it was indeed about the same.

…

A series of messages flooded the panel. Wang Mu successfully maxed out the investment progress of the ninety-nine Northern Dark Holy Land Prodigies before him who were about to enter the Jade Pool Grotto-Heaven.

Frankly speaking, this investment was also a huge consumption for Wang Mu. After all, everything was of great value. Moreover, he chose the highest quality items.

In fact, he had never been inclined to invest in so many Holy Land Disciples at once. These Holy Land Disciples, their status, the resources they could control, their talent, etc., were all dragons and phoenixes among men. There were not many in the Cultivation World who could compare with them, and the difficulty of investing was also on the higher side.

Although he had many treasures and Spirit Stones, they were not infinite. Such large-scale, high-quality investment put significant pressure on him.

However, they were about to enter the Jade Pool Grotto-Heaven, and there was a high probability they would obtain multiple Opportunities, with their strength increasing rapidly far beyond their peers. Wang Mu would also obtain predictable, large amounts of rebates. This kind of Opportunity, he could not miss. After all, making money is meant for spending!

Meanwhile, all the Holy Land Disciples on the scene were already too shocked to speak.

Above the clouds, several Tribulation Transcendence Stage Pavilion Masters, who had seen the world, widened their eyes. They stared blankly at Luo Xuanshuang and asked, "Wait, Saint Lord! The Saint, is he not going to run his Chamber of Commerce anymore?"
