Chapter 590 - 217: You Know Nothing of Our Alliance Leader’s Power! 'Is There More?'

Chapter 590: Chapter 217: You Know Nothing of Our Alliance Leader’s Power! “Is There More?”

"I apologize for not being able to welcome you from afar upon your arrival, respectable Daoists."

From a distance, Zhou Changwang greeted them, speaking up.

"It is we who have intruded upon you unannounced. I hope the Kunpeng Peak Master does not take offense."

Immediately, the middle-aged cultivator across from them laughed heartily and spoke.

"No matter.

I simply wonder, what brings you here this time?"

Zhou Changwang waved his hand and asked.

At that moment, Guo Sheng arrived by sword flight to join them.

After landing, he respectfully greeted Zhou Changwang, saying: "Peak Master."

Then he stood half a step behind him, looking at the two Heaven and Earth Alliance cultivators opposite, showing a trace of vigilance on his face.

He knew that these two cultivators of the Heaven and Earth Alliance were no simple individuals.

The Ancient Scholar Xu Zhen, known externally as the Skin-Stripping Scholar, held a Second-Layer Foundation Establishment cultivation, yet made many Third-Layer Foundation Establishment cultivators wary of him.

As for the Five Tigers Daoist Ma Da, not only did he possess a peak-level Third-Layer Foundation Establishment cultivation, but he also had five Spiritual Tiger Demons. Each of these tiger demons had a cultivation comparable to the Ninth-Layer Qi Cultivation, and when they joined forces, they were nearly on par with an Early Stage Foundation Establishment Realm expert.

Facing these two cultivators, both of whom could almost crush him, he was naturally nervous.

"Actually, it’s still regarding the previous matter."

It was the Five Tigers Daoist Ma Da who spoke, his tone casual: "Previously, we thought of collaborating with Kunpeng Daoist for alchemy, right?

Later we considered it carefully and felt it was somewhat inappropriate.

So in recent days, after discussing with the Alliance Leader, we’ve decided to change our manner of collaboration with you."

As he spoke, he glanced around, saying: "Daoist friend, surely you wouldn’t discuss such cooperation matters with us here, would you?"

"Please!"

Zhou Changwang looked at his counterpart, not refusing their entry.

Nor did he worry about any plot or scheme on their part.

Soon, the two followed him into Palm Heart Peak’s hall.

Zheng Ajiu, on high alert, quickly brewed some spirit tea and served it to them one by one.

The spirit tea, while not of superior quality, was from the Five Peaks Mountain Spirit Land, known for its sweet and pleasant taste, with a spiritual Qi that soothes the throat.

Serving important guests in such a manner ensured that no decorum was breached.

"Daoist friend, please speak.

What new way have you decided upon to collaborate?"

After some pleasantries, Zhou Changwang asked with a faint smile.

"Upon discussion, our Alliance Leader felt that asking you for alchemy seemed somewhat impersonal.

Therefore, our Alliance Leader has decided to invite you to formally join our Heaven and Earth Alliance.

I shall retire to become the Third Alliance Leader from now on, and you will immediately become the Second Alliance Leader.

Only beneath our Alliance Leader Situ Xuan Kong."

The Five Tigers Daoist Ma Da smiled slightly and said.

"Hmm?"

Zhou Changwang furrowed his brows, simply looking at him.

"Kunpeng Daoist.

Do not overlook the role of the Second Alliance Leader.

Our Heaven and Earth Alliance’s annual profit is substantial.

Among which, the Grand Alliance Leader takes thirty percent, the Second Alliance Leader twenty percent, the Third Alliance Leader ten percent, while the Fourth and Fifth Alliance Leaders share ten percent.

Only the remainder is for the other members’ benefits.

In other words, once you join our Heaven and Earth Alliance, you could directly claim twenty percent of the entire Heaven and Earth Alliance’s annual profit.

This is a benefit beyond imagination for countless Foundation Establishment Realm cultivators.

Moreover, from then on, no one would dare pose a threat to you.

For any issue, our Heaven and Earth Alliance would naturally support you fully.

Ordinary cultivators would not dare target you."

The Ma Da continued speaking, with a tone of sincere concern.

"Kunpeng Daoist.

There’s one more thing I must mention.

Our Heaven and Earth Alliance’s total annual revenue last year exceeded eight million Lower-Grade Spirit Stones.

Which means.

Once you join our Heaven and Earth Alliance, you could earn at least one hundred and sixty thousand Lower-Grade Spirit Stones.

Moreover.

This is under the current scale of our Heaven and Earth Alliance.

In fact, our Heaven and Earth Alliance is still in a phase of rapid development.

It’s expected that next year’s profit will exceed ten million..."

The Ancient Scholar, Xu Zhen, also spoke up, full of pride in his tone.

Guo Sheng, hearing this, couldn’t help but click his tongue.

He had always known that the Heaven and Earth Alliance had been expanding rapidly in recent years.

They had extended their influence not only within the Spirit Land but also in Celestial Essence City, with several businesses thriving, and reportedly acquired a mining operation recently, truly flourishing.

He hadn’t expected the Heaven and Earth Alliance to be so profitable.

Even with so many members to share it with, the Grand Alliance Leader, Second Alliance Leader... even the weakest Fifth Alliance Leader had nearly fifty thousand Lower-Grade Spirit Stones in annual income.

And what about him?

After a year of hard work, relying on that single Spiritual Peach Garden, he only earned just over ten thousand Lower-Grade Spirit Stones, supplemented by farming a few acres of Spirit Field and occasionally taking on tasks for extra pay, yielding at most tens of thousands of Lower-Grade Spirit Stones in a year...

Which was barely enough to maintain his cultivation.

Even purchasing magical artifacts and treasure artifacts required saving for several years, and the top-grade magical artifact he was using now was one he had gritted his teeth to buy more than a decade ago, back when he was still at the Qi Cultivation Stage.

"Is that so?"

Yet Zhou Changwang’s expression remained very calm, speaking mildly: "It’s just that I must regretfully refuse your Alliance Leader’s kindness.

Kunpeng is used to wandering alone.

At least for the short term, I do not wish to join any faction."

To be honest, the spirit stone profits mentioned by the Ancient Scholar did not concern him that much, nor did he care for them in the slightest.
