Steady Cultivation: Starting With the Perk “Work Hard, Rest Hard” - Chapter 533: Receiving Property

“This is my exclusive Dao treasure?”

The Miluo Dao Lord couldn’t believe it.

She clearly felt that call from the depths of her soul; this treasure seemed to be born in perfect harmony with her, making her utterly infatuated.

“So my premonition wasn’t wrong; following you truly leads to obtaining a Dao treasure!”

The Miluo Dao Lord’s bright eyes fixed tightly on Su Yuan.

“The value of this treasure is too high. A single eighteenth-order fused Dao treasure alone is immensely valuable, let alone the fact that for me, its worth surpasses the entire Dao Court. What other demands do you have?”

Her tone carried an unmistakable joy.

Su Yuan said calmly, “Merely a matter of mutual benefit!”

The Miluo Dao Lord sighed. This was a kindness of achieving the Dao; she didn’t even know what she possessed that could repay such a karmic debt.

Fortunately, she had already ceded the Dao Court to Su Yuan first, reducing the karmic debt owed considerably. Otherwise, if it were the other way around, the karma would have been immense.

When she took the treasure Su Yuan handed her and channeled her will into it, she was immediately and unexpectedly surprised to discover that among the fused Dao Principles contained within the treasure, the final principle was not the Other Shore Dao Principle, but the Bitter Sea Dao Principle.

This was truly beyond her expectations.

She smiled bitterly in her heart, “If not for the guidance of Su Yuan’s treasure, I would never have been able to fuse the Other Shore Dao Principle.”

The two principles were like polar opposites, fundamentally contrary Dao Principles. She had actually deduced the Other Shore Dao Principle; no wonder she had been unable to fuse the eighteenth Dao Principle for so many years.

Su Yuan stood to the side, watching Miluo’s completely stunned expression, and couldn’t help but chuckle softly.

Being in such an unguarded state, wasn’t she afraid he might launch a sneak attack?

Su Yuan coughed lightly, “Alright, don’t contemplate it here. Hurry back to the Miluo Dao Court!”

The Miluo Dao Lord snapped back to reality and said gratefully, “Thank you, Seven Stars! In the future, if there’s anything, just give me orders. I’ll go back to cultivate now!”

She bid farewell to Su Yuan and hastily left the Treasure Star, departed from the Nine Stars Land, and returned to the Miluo Dao Court.

Su Yuan, with a mere thought, also descended upon the Miluo Dao Court.

The moment his true form returned to the Dao Court, he instantly grasped the highest authority of the court. Many of the Dao Court’s secrets were unveiled to him. The control over the Dao Court headquarters, as well as the supreme authority over its numerous branches, all transferred to him.

The headquarters’ guardian formation, treasury, and secret realms were all at his disposal.

He immediately checked the financial status of the Miluo Dao Court.

In his view, the Miluo Dao Court must possess a colossal sum of funds.

The Guardian Spirit Little Star materialized before Su Yuan, looking at him with a face full of astonishment.

“Hmm?”

“I pay my respects to the Seven Stars Dao Lord! The Dao Court Guardian Spirit Star Moon is at your service. Please give your orders, Dao Lord!” Little Star said respectfully, clearly already aware of the news that the Dao Court had changed hands.

“Mm.”

Su Yuan’s eyes flickered slightly as he asked, “How many Dao Yan Crystals does the Dao Court currently possess in total?”

Little Star was taken aback, hesitating for a moment before asking, “Dao Lord, are you asking about the Dao Yan Crystals currently available in the treasury, or the Dao Yan Crystals on the books? Or perhaps calculating the assets of all the Dao Yan mineral veins owned by the Dao Court? Or even including the total sum of Dao Yan Crystals that all disciples of the Dao Court might possess?”

Su Yuan was somewhat puzzled, “How much is currently in inventory?”

Little Star paused, then said, “The current inventory holds a total of 348 trillion Dao Yan Crystals.”

This sum could be converted into over thirty thousand Chaos Jades.

This amount was enormous, a massive return compared to the price he had paid earlier. And this was merely the pure Dao Yan Crystal inventory; the other treasures in the treasury were the main bulk.

However…

“This figure seems a bit low?” Su Yuan questioned.

Little Star said awkwardly, “I report to the Dao Lord, recently, the Acting Manager Qingzhu carried out a massive reform, consuming a full 1,867 trillion Dao Yan Crystals. These have already been distributed to individual disciples.”

Su Yuan was stunned and immediately used his will to examine more detailed information.

Indeed, the Dao Yan Crystals in the treasury had been directly drained by more than half. The remaining 348 trillion Dao Yan Crystals were already considered a small portion.

However, Gu Qingzhu had not wasted these resources.

Little Star continued, “Currently, on the books, the money or contributions owed to the Dao Court by the disciples totals 4,078 trillion Dao Yan Crystals. They will gradually repay these resources to the Dao Court in the future. So, on the books, our inventory has actually increased, not decreased!”

Su Yuan nodded.

“Not bad at all!”

Little Star went on, “Currently, Lord Qingzhu’s reform plan has already cultivated one thousand eight hundred Dao Venerables, a number more than twelve times greater than the Dao Court’s previous count. The reform effect is remarkable. These Dao Venerables will contribute vast amounts of resources in the future!”

Su Yuan could understand this.

Although the current Dao Source had decreased, the future Dao Source would increase. Moreover, the overall strength of the Dao Court had received a tremendous boost. Gu Qingzhu’s reforms were truly excellent.

Little Star seemed to sense Su Yuan’s need for Dao Yan Crystals and said, “Currently, the Dao Yan Crystal mineral veins under the Dao Court’s ownership have an immense reserve, estimated to still contain ten thousand trillion Dao Yan Crystals. They will be mined gradually in the future, with an output of at least one hundred trillion Dao Yan Crystals every period.”

Su Yuan nodded with satisfaction. Indeed, the Dao Court’s wealth was vast. The value of these yet-to-be-mined veins was equivalent to one million Chaos Jades—an astonishing value.

Little Star added, “Of course, if calculating the entire Dao Court, including the Dao Yan Coins and Dao Yan Crystal wealth on all disciples, it’s estimated to also reach a scale of ten thousand trillion Dao Yan Crystals. However, the ownership of these Dao Yan Crystals lies with those disciples, especially the veteran Dao Venerable Elders. The wealth they possess is extremely substantial!”

Hearing this, Su Yuan narrowed his eyes slightly.

Now he had a very clear understanding of the Dao Court’s financial state.

Existing inventory: 348 trillion Dao Yan Crystals. Accounts receivable: 4,078 trillion Dao Yan Crystals. Mineral vein reserves: 10,000 trillion Dao Yan Crystals. Total disciple wealth: over 10,000 trillion Dao Yan Crystals.

“Dao Lord, this was the wealth the Miluo Dao Court was able to accumulate previously. Now, however, it is vastly different. Under your supremely powerful leadership, the Dao Court’s influence is bound to advance by leaps and bounds, and the revenue from Dao Yan Crystals will also increase dramatically.”

Little Star said very excitedly, “Not long ago, the Blood Moon Dao Court, the True Knowledge Dao Court, and a total of ten Dao Courts came to pay a visit. They are currently awaiting your summons. Should we summon them now?”

Su Yuan heard this and said with surprise, “What have they come for?”

Little Star said excitedly, “According to convention, they are likely here to express their sincerity and pledge allegiance to our Dao Court! An existence at the quasi-Dominator realm is enough to rule an entire Chaos Kingdom. All forces within that Chaos Kingdom will become subordinate forces of our Dao Court. Those unwilling to submit will inevitably have to relocate away from the Chaos Kingdom’s territory. Their coming to pay respects indicates they are probably prepared to submit!”
