I am a demonic cultivator, not a capitalist with a conscience.

Chapter 607 We Deserve the Best (16)

The black cat that the Earth Deity Star Lord transformed into cannot speak carelessly now, otherwise it will definitely start swearing rudely.

He has not yet fully recovered; part of His body is still afflicted by calamity, and therefore there are still some taboos.

He cannot reveal his identity now, nor can he display his abilities or speak in front of other non-Four Virtuous Star Lords.

Moreover, staying by Chen Yu's side would help alleviate his own calamities and reduce his own karma, so he was looking forward to staying by Chen Yu's side, but unexpectedly he failed.

Squatting down in front of Lianqu, He made sure no one was nearby, then asked in confusion, "Am I not cute?"

"You are the cutest cat in the world right now. No cat is cuter than you."

"Yeah, my eyes are so big, my fur is so fluffy, my paws are so soft, and I know Chen Yu is a cat lover, but why doesn't he keep me? I'm really good at bringing wealth."

"I don't know either," Lian Qu said, troubled. "Do you think Chen Yu might have realized your ill intentions and therefore doesn't want to support you anymore?"

"Where did I have ill intentions? I'm incredibly kind! I was prepared to repay his kindness, even to offer myself in marriage. Why couldn't he just lie down and pet the cat? If all else fails, I can transform into a big cat and pet him!"

"Um……"

Lian Qu looked at Tu De Xing Jun with a troubled expression, not having any good ideas.

The Star Lord is very accurate in judging people. After a few interactions, he can roughly understand the other person's thoughts and emotions, making it particularly convenient to control or guide them afterwards.

They just couldn't understand Chen Yu's logic at all, yet he always turned out to be right in the end.

Can the wisdom of a Qi Refining cultivator be so brilliant?
After pondering for a long time, the Earth Deity Star Lord gritted his little white teeth, clenched his paws, and said, "No, I must make him take care of me! Lian Qu, quickly go and ask him what he likes!"

"Sigh, fine, what can we do? We owe you something."

Back in the office, Lian Qu saw Chen Yu playing with stones.

In the illusion of ancient times, Chen Yu listened to Zhou's ramblings while throwing stones, and unknowingly he had already cultivated the Featherless Arrow to level nine.

The Featherless Arrow is a weapon that is easy to learn but difficult to master. It is quite simple to cultivate to level six, but it took Chen Yu a year to reach level seven, four years to reach level eight, and probably more than ten years to reach level nine.

After all, there were no famous teachers to guide them there, and in the end, they all relied on their own efforts to accumulate experience. Reaching level nine was already quite impressive.

Moreover, without realizing it, Chen Yu felt as if he had touched the threshold of perfection.

Teacher Zhao once said that perfection is a state of being. When a martial art is perfected through proper means, then other martial arts are not far from perfection.

Therefore, many body cultivators choose the martial art that best suits them to focus on, and once they have mastered it, it will be much easier to learn other martial arts.

High school students shouldn't even think about achieving perfection, since perfection requires the assistance and reference of other martial arts techniques, and these all require university courses.

By tossing pebbles, Chen Yu made a small pebble float in the air. Every time it was about to fall, he would throw another pebble over it, using the bounce to keep the pebble flying in the air.

At his peak, he could make seventeen pebbles float in the air, which required precise calculation of the direction and force of the pebbles' rebound, but it was quite fun to play with.

Lian Qu watched for a while, then excitedly asked after Chen Yu finished, "I want to play too, let me play for a while."

"Okay, be careful, these pebbles are hard to find. Lianqu, how's the cat?"

"Still outside, meowing and guarding."

"That's it."

Looking at the company gate, Chen Yu seemed to see a kitten guarding the entrance, and suddenly felt a little sorry for it.

The monks believed in fate and destiny. That little cat was fluffy and cute, and I could pet it whenever I was in a bad mood.

Moreover, he touched the other person when they came close; the feel was superb, incredibly smooth, making you want to touch it again and again.

The idea that a black cat brings wealth is nonsense; it was too hasty to send the other party away so rashly.

Or, how about we raise it?
Lian Qu played with pebbles, then asked casually, "Chen Yu, what kind of cat do you like?"

"It'll be like a cat doing a backflip," Chen Yu said, looking at the pebbles in the air. "What a strange request! Anything else?"

"A cat that knows how to spend money."

"...Why can't a cat that makes money be good?"

"impossible."

"Um……"

Finding that Chen Yu still wouldn't budge, Lian Qu felt she had no choice but to try a roundabout approach.

After gathering her thoughts, Lian Qu asked, "Would you be interested in worshipping the Earth Virtue Star Lord?"

Chen Yu turned his gaze to Lian Qu, and shamefully, he was tempted.

Offering sacrifices to a star deity is a long-term business.

The Star Lord needs a temple, which requires land and buildings.

The Star Lord's temple needs to be maintained by an array, which requires magical power.

Furthermore, worshipping the Star Lord requires extensive promotion, designating certain days as His anniversaries, cultivating and winning over believers, and holding regular events, all of which require money.

Furthermore, the Earth Deity has characteristics such as "charity" and "benevolence," and in order to satisfy His hobbies, one needs to spend money on Him from time to time.

It costs a lot of money upfront, but the returns later are also great.

The Earth Virtue Star Lord will treat Tianyuan as his own homeland and manage it accordingly. The full support of a mid-level star lord will bring great benefits to the entire Tianyuan, not to mention that he is also a star lord who can connect with the other four virtues.

Once the offerings begin, Sangmu and other regions, which already had a good relationship with Tianyuan, will become natural allies of Tianyuan, and various trade exchanges can become more frequent.

Wild mineral deposits will be generated in the soil, crops will grow better, and the real estate tycoon will get his comeuppance.

Thinking about it this way, there are indeed many advantages.

Sensing Chen Yu's interest, Lian Qu realized there was a chance, so she continued to persuade him: "Moreover, Ji Nanyuan now needs the support of the Earth Virtue Star Lord to refine pills, and the Five Virtues Circulation is more reliable."

"That makes sense. But isn't the Earth Deity still asleep?"

The idea that the Four Virtues Star Lord was in a deep sleep was a claim he made.

The Real Estate Star Lord has not completely fallen, and many other Star Lords are also coveting the characteristics of the Earth Virtue Star Lord. Therefore, they claim that the Earth Virtue Star Lord is still asleep and are secretly preparing for His resurrection.

However, the Four Virtues Star Lord is also poor, and his random actions would attract the attention of those with ulterior motives, so he dares not make any big moves for now.

However, if Chen Yu is willing to make offerings, then the Four Virtues Star Lords can use Chen Yu as a starting point to carefully assist him.

However, this assistance cannot be too obvious; it needs to be done quietly, and even Chen Yu himself cannot know about it.

After realizing that Chen Yu was completely convinced, Lian Qu said, "If you are willing, Mr. Chen, I can help you contact the temple keeper to handle it. For the Fire element, we can ask Sun Lei; for the Water element, we can ask Shen Lang; for the Wood element, we can ask Xu Youran; and if we ask another temple keeper for the Metal element, we can complete the flow of the Five Elements here and begin to worship the Earth element."

"Thinking about it that way, it does seem like a good idea."

"However, there is a problem. It may require some money upfront. If we only use the standard ones, then two hundred million will be enough. If we want the best ones, then it may require five hundred million."

"Of course! Give me the best!"

"Mr. Chen, won't you reconsider? Five hundred million."

"No more talk, no more hesitation, give me the best! Our Tianyuan deserves the best."

After handing the task over to Lian Qu, Chen Yu glanced at his account balance and felt quite pleased.

This is how money should be spent!
