Chapter 1046 - 272: Social Networking and the Master of Funding Scams (8k)
Since ancient times, it has been said that divine objects conceal themselves, glowing without dazzling, thus expressing a certain realm and philosophy of life.
Now, Yu Ziqing feels that the juice has always hidden all its extraordinary external appearances, and the Undying Mandala even conceals its entire being directly.
This is probably due to the external environment, leading to such corresponding expressions.
At first, Yu Ziqing really couldn't tell what was unusual about the juice itself, it was just a typical old stump with not much vitality.
Were it not for the environment at the time, and those magic plants, indirectly proving its extraordinariness.
If placed in a remote mountainous area, Yu Ziqing would have no chance of discovering the juice.
Or rather, fortunately, he had no designs on the Immortal Herbs, otherwise, he would never have encountered it.
As for the juice now, in its normal state, it's already surrounded by Divine Light, with mysteriousness exuding all around, without doing anything, just facing it in contemplation can bring gains.
The more he thought about it, the more he felt that using the Immortal Herbs as Spiritual Medicine was truly a typical waste of a treasure, like buying a casket and returning the pearl.
"Don't worry, with me around, even if there are Evil Dao with malicious intentions, they wouldn't dare harm the Immortal Herbs."
The Evil Dao are not fools either, they understand how to maximize benefits, and they also understand the basics of tending to the good and avoiding the evil.
In fact, what one truly fears are foolish people.
However, now everything is moving in a good direction, Yu Ziqing is already very satisfied, and prefers to take it slowly.
Recently, he has been busy being a spectator, tracking to see if there are any significant changes.
The Divine King wanted the Daqian Crown Prince to ascend the throne, and the Crown Prince has indeed ascended, yet there seems to be no rush from the Divine King to do anything.
The less urgent he is, the bigger his plans might be.
As for the New Five, it seems to be quite trusted.
Mainly because he listened to Yu Ziqing's advice, New Five changed its approach and is good at taking credit for itself.
Even though the matter of the Crown Prince ascending to the throne was hardly helped by the White Water Egg organization, it just busied itself idly.
But through the past channels of the White Water Egg organization, they garnered support for the Crown Prince, who hadn't yet ascended, so there's still a substantial amount of merit.
Unfortunately, the Divine King still doesn't acknowledge people properly, possibly used to it, thinking that the White Water Eggs are just destined to work hard for him.
Whether it was delaying research in the Southern Sea before, or helping the Daqian Crown Prince ascend, there was truly no reward whatsoever.
In the past, when Wig White Water Egg was around, whether it was the inheritance left by successive Wig White Water Eggs, or the cave abodes, there were always quite a few good things.
As long as one made contributions, regardless of how big, they would receive a corresponding reward.
This was very effective in motivating initiative.
Now, within the White Water Egg's base, many of the stockpiled items have been accumulated in this manner.
Some were reclaimed after a White Water Egg had fallen, some were not very applicable, so they were put into inventory, to be exchanged for a suitable one.
Unfortunately, the Divine King has lost all his disguises, possibly not knowing any of the treasure locations he knew before.
And with no material rewards, inheritance would also do, if there's nothing good available, even a little secret knowledge would suffice.
There are always ways to provide benefits.
Yet, he gives nothing, still expecting people to work hard?
Laughable, the current White Water Egg organization needs some supplies, all of which are paid for by Yu Ziqing.
Even if he were to tell everyone in the organization now, that they are switching allegiance to work for Jinlan Mountain, there probably wouldn't be any upheaval.
Back during the Wig White Water Egg era, its presence was not particularly strong, No.1, in order to maintain authority, was the only one who could contact Wig White Water Egg.
Even many of the lower-level White Water Eggs had no idea there was someone above No.1...
The Divine King is in no hurry, while over on Emperor Qian's side, after abdicating, he went into reclusion again, far from the Capital City, and no one knows where he's gone.
On the surface, it appears he truly does not cling to power, stepping down to help the new emperor stabilize his position, withdrawing just as promised, focusing on cultivation.
These actions, in this world, are actually quite normal.
The deep foundation of a major power is often not in the Sect Master or similar roles, some Sect Masters are not even the strongest person on the surface of the Sect, not to mention in secret.
The truly strongest people remain hidden, uninvolved with affairs, focusing on cultivation, undisturbed by trivial matters.
They only appear when absolutely necessary or during a great crisis.
Some powerful figures, near the end of their lifespan, may even self-seal or be sealed, saving their final breath to contribute one last time to the sect when needed.
These are the foundations of top-tier forces.
Therefore, top-tier forces are hard to obliterate, they only gradually decline.
When facing a major crisis, it is normal for them to burst forth with power several times greater than the apparent strength.
Jinlan Mountain, on the other hand, exemplifies a typical upstart, judged by the Ninth Tier standard, belonging to a major power, yet considered bottom-tier.
The essence, such as foundation, cannot be accumulated in a short amount of time.
Thus, by drawing in more people, forming some connections, regardless of how much help they may be in critical times, as long as a small part can assist, it's enough.
Or, when things are going well, if they don't cause trouble, or can add the icing on the cake, that's also sufficient.
Therefore, Yu Ziqing intends to talk with the Moon God to express gratitude for the help last time.
His new Divine Skill, when used normally, certainly poses no problem.
However, when used normally, its potency is just as it is.
If one wishes for the Divine Skill to unleash far more power than usual, it truly depends on the Moon God's mood.
