Chapter 924: Chapter 296: Brother Qiu, You’re the Sect Master…

“Forget it.”

Chen Qiu waved his hand, lightly sighed and said, “Let him sleep, it’s about time for hibernation. Let’s go check out the back mountain.”

With that said.

Without caring about Xiong Gao, he immediately took Fat Long back to the small world and stood at the back mountain.

This used to be the highest point in the entire small world. He cultivated here for a long time, and in his spare time, he often stood here overlooking the entire small world, feeling the fruits of his hard work.

However…

Now this is no longer the highest point in the small world. Yes, the mountain in the valley made of piled Spirit Stones surpassed the height of this back mountain, which is somewhat exaggerated.

His Little Wolf had quite a decent bloodline grade. Long ago, he had anticipated that once this Little Wolf grew up, it would greatly aid him in the future. Now, it seems that although Little Wolf is growing at a decent pace, it still seems far behind him.

Due to its excessively large size, it wasn’t needed in daily battles, so it just stayed at the back mountain.

Previously, members of the Brown Bear Clan used to play with him, but recently, the other Brown Bear Clan members went far to open new lands. This Little Wolf didn’t want to venture into the overly barren lands, so it just lay idly at the back mountain sleeping all day.

However.

Now this Little Wolf found his job. The mountain made of Spirit Stones frequently sees large amounts of Spirit Stones slipping off, and his Little Wolf is tirelessly pushing those fallen Spirit Stones back up.

The entire process continues, and anyone with a clear eye can see there’s nothing solid holding these Spirit Stones together, meaning they will keep slipping, but Little Wolf enjoyed the task as if it was a fun game.

Divine Sense spread over.

There’s no way to specifically count, if one needed a concrete tally, it would take considerable time, roughly around a billion Spirit Stones, maybe more.

Although Fat Long knew that their haul was extremely abundant this time, witnessing this scene for the first time left him speechless, as he mumbled to himself, “So all the Bai Family’s long-accumulated wealth, we’ve surpassed so easily?”

Last time he was shocked by the Spirit Stone quantity was when the Bai Family Patriarch with a majestic wave of his hand revealed Spirit Stones all over the mountains and plains. However, the present Spirit Stone quantity far exceeded that occasion.

Far! Exceeded!

Not even in the same quantity or level.

At that time, it was clear that the Bai Family Patriarch was very proud of his business acumen. Now, it seems… the speed of making money through business was somewhat slow and too cumbersome.

“Hard to say.”

Chen Qiu leaned on the Heavenly Mechanism Umbrella, looking at the mountain of Spirit Stones before him with a satisfied smile: “No one knows if the batch of Spirit Stones the Bai Family Patriarch brought out last time was the entirety or just a part of it.”

“But these two cannot be compared.”

“Our Spirit Stones are purely a fortuitous opportunity, accumulated over tens of thousands of years on the continent, of which a part fell into our hands. Unfortunately, the continent is in a state of collapse, otherwise, there would be even more.”

Speaking of which.

He appeared somewhat regretful, with many cities he hadn’t explored yet, but time didn’t allow, and the environment wasn’t conducive anymore.

The Spiritless Land didn’t affect him much.

But the problem was, as dawn approached, the entire world began to gradually collapse. Occasionally spatial rifts unpredictably appeared out of thin air. He once witnessed a panic-stricken demon beast being cut in half by a sudden spatial rift.

He didn’t experiment to see if he could withstand it, just decided it was best to evacuate early.

If there was enough time.

He wanted to raid every city, including those outdoor medicinal herbs and such, scour everything. An entire continent surely had undiscovered millennial medicinal herbs, which were treasures, but finding them required extremely meticulous searching which time clearly didn’t permit him.

Deceit Buddha and his company truly scored big this time.

Just…

Seems like he’s in debt to Deceit Buddha by a favor.

“…”

Chen Qiu rested his chin in one hand, deep in thought. Although he had given Deceit Buddha a wisp of Luck of Yin Soul before leaving, that wisp of Luck of Yin Soul was part of their initial deal, and Deceit Buddha could have chosen not to take him along this time. However, not only did he bring him along but also gave him such an opportunity.

This was not a small favor.

Although, even if they hadn’t gone, Deceit Buddha’s group wouldn’t have been able to consume everything; it would have gone to waste.

Yet favors can’t be calculated that way.

If calculated like that, then there would be no need for favors at all, just abandon all ties and go on a rampage, but favors aren’t about their rarity with the other person, they’re about their value to oneself.

Over a billion Spirit Stones, this is not a small favor, let’s see if there’s an opportunity to repay Deceit Buddha in the future.

“Alright.”

After finishing, Chen Qiu glanced at the busy Little Wolf below: “Let him stay busy, this little guy finally found something to do; he really seems to think of himself as some sort of storekeeper.”

“Speaking of which, Fat Long, isn’t this Great Elder failing a bit in sect management?”

“In other sects, disciples take sect missions, why in our sect do disciples have to find their own work?”

“Huh?”

Fat Long was slightly taken aback, feeling a bit toothache: “Brother Qiu, you’re the Sect Master…”

“Besides… I really don’t know what to have them do. When we reach the Immortal Realm, I’ll see how those sects manage things and see if I can bring back some management experience.”
