Becoming evil makes you ten times stronger, but becoming a demon gives you hundredfold strength-Chapter 212 - 192: Start a Trade Fair?
```
Supreme Star is the largest world within the Immortal Sect, not only vast without bounds but also a shopping paradise. With enough money, you can buy anything from low to medium-end products. However, Meng Yu didn’t use money; he used Spirit Stones.
```
```
Merchants absolutely didn’t ask about the origins of the Spirit Stones. After all, what you were buying were things like Spirit Rice, alcoholic beverages, Spiritual Medicines, furniture, daily necessities, and so on. Whatever you wanted, they could provide!
```
```
There are many great things in the Immortal Sect, such as the various Spiritual Medicines Meng Yu purchased this time. Even millennium-aged ones weren’t too expensive in the Immortal Sect—if you had Spirit Stones.
```
```
Many families had existed for thousands of years. They cultivated, bred, and developed many different projects. The investments made by generations long past would yield profits for their descendants dozens of generations later in a continuous harvest.
```
```
The Spiritual Wine everyone drank was said to be excellent. Meng Yu brought out decades or even centuries-old fine wines for everyone, which was truly extravagant. However, no one knew to what extent the wine industry in the Immortal Sect had developed.
```
```
The quality of Spiritual Wine there was measured by a series of complex standards including the Spiritual Energy content. One careless mistake and it wouldn’t sell. However, the slightly flawed Spiritual Wine Meng Yu purchased tasted fine. He bought it by the ton, or calculated in tens of thousands of bottles, and the price was really not high.
```
```
This was a very good purchasing journey. The only limitation for Meng Yu was the capacity of his Storage Bag. Meng Yu found out for the first time that if he carried seven Golden Core Stage Storage Bags filled with items, the teleportation button would turn grey and become unusable.
```
```
He could only teleport after removing one Storage Bag or some of the items.
```
```
Well, that was normal. If there wasn’t this limit, could Meng Yu have possibly stuffed Supreme Star into his Storage Bag and brought it back to the Western Wastes?
```
```
Six fully loaded Golden Core Stage Storage Bags were brought back, greatly enriching the reserves of Moon-Watching Sect in terms of Spirit Rice and Spiritual Wine.
```
```
Dog Lady didn’t know the extent of Meng Yu’s resources, but after tasting the fine wine, she drank another bottle.
```
```
Her earlier trepidation—afraid that Master Lang Zhenren would offset the account with radishes—was completely put aside; Meng Yu was truly generous.
```
```
The scene that followed was like something out of a dream.
```
```
Some Foundation Establishment disciples were turned away at the door, distinguished scions couldn’t gain entry, and all sorts of people were looking for connections to get inside. But once Dog Lady presented her visiting card, disciples of Moon-Watching Sect personally came out to welcome them. Amid countless envious gazes, they were all admitted into the sect.
```
```
Everyone.
```
```
"Please come in, Master Lang Zhenren is waiting for you."
```
```
...
```
```
In the drawing-room, the meeting ended.
```
```
"Thank you, Mr. Meng, thank you, Master Lang Zhenren."
```
```
Dog Lady’s tail wagged frenetically, and Meng Yu in turn warmly insisted that she needn’t be so polite; after all, she was a great benefactor of Moon-Watching Sect.

Dog Lady and her companions received very generous gifts: plentiful amounts of Spirit Rice, Cultivation Techniques, Black Iron Gold, and more—twice the expected value. The consolation money was also fully disbursed—the amount stated was given to each named person.
```
```
Her own injuries and those of her kin missing limbs and the like were beyond the capabilities of Moon-Watching Sect, which lacked the necessary equipment and specialized staff. They could go to the Marketplace for treatment and healing, with the Moon-Watching Sect covering all the expenses in full.
```
```
Of course, the main event was the land—a well-located piece of land fell into her hands, and from then on, they could properly establish their family.
```
```
Meng Yu and Bai Qianqian were as mild as before.
```
```
"Thank you for your support, thank you.
```
```
Don’t call me Mr. Meng or White Gate Master; just call me Brother Meng or Sister Bai. Feel secure in your development and remember to invoke our names if there’s ever an issue."
```
```
The dogs left crying—this act of kindness had firmly taken root.
```
```
Meng Yu heard the cries. It was Bai Qianqian.
```
```
"In the past, her mother lacked Spirit Stones and sought help from me to break through. I could only give her radishes. When her sister reached adulthood and wanted to come to the Moon-Watching Sect, I could only tell her that I couldn’t take in more people, so she left with a bunch of Spirit Fruits and Vegetables. She eventually perished in battle, and now, this time, she’s fought for me, and I..."
```
```
Bai Qianqian cried, but these were tears of joy because this time, she hadn’t let them down. In fact, many came nervous but left satisfied!

She truly understood the magic of money.
```
```
And now, she was not lacking in funds.
```
```
...
```
```
Dog Lady and the others left Moon-Watching Sect in high spirits, yet it didn’t cause much of a stir, because over the past four months, too many had visited Moon-Watching Sect, and many had received wonderful items from it.
```
```
The commotion would only be in their hometowns and among their friends, showing the poverty-stricken folks back home that they’ve struck it rich – they would take all their weapons and Spiritual Treasures and tell everyone that following Bai Qianqian could bring wealth and limitless prospects.
```
```
From now on, when something comes up, they’ll be with Bai Qianqian!
```
```
The same thing had happened many times already, so much so that Bai Qianqian herself didn’t realize how her prestige continued to grow.
```
```
Bai Qianqian was a kind person and coupled with the title of one of the Nine Great Divine Beasts at her back, over the past three hundred years or so, despite rarely venturing out, she had become acquainted with numerous people. Many approached her due to injustice, poverty, ambition, and so on. After consuming Spirit Fruits and Vegetables and leaving, a lot happened—though many left disappointed, quite a few thought well of her.
```
```
After all, she truly couldn’t help. She indeed was willing to share the last radish, letting the other person eat first!
```
Such Great Demons are the last conscience and hope of the Demon Race.
She used to be poor, so nobody said anything, but this time she struck it rich, and everyone liked her even more.
And then there’s Meng Yu.
A genuine, bona fide tycoon.
Just like before, Bai Qianqian shared radishes with everyone, acting all impoverished (to curry favor with Meng Yu), but her husband, the dashing young man known as Meng Yu, was generously giving out all sorts of gift boxes like some kind of wish-granting machine.
Upon arrival, they settled below the mountain, where the Spirit Rice was free to eat, and there was Spiritual Wine to drink.
Although the Moon-Watching Sect didn’t claim any kingship or dominance, they never forgot their poor brothers.
Friends who knew them and could visit the mountain received gift boxes containing various items. Within them were precious metals like Black Iron Gold and Ash Immortal Silver, various kinds of Spirit Rice, Millennium Spiritual Herbs, and many extravagant daily necessities that everyone liked.
"If you are friends with Qian Qian, then you are my friends too."
...
Days passed by in this way.
One ordinary day, the president of Jingtai Firm, the biggest competitor to the Myriad Treasures Pavilion in the Western Wastes and the second-largest marketplace, a Golden Core Master, respectfully sent over his calling card.
Jingtai Firm, a leading local marketplace in the Western Wastes, was established with the principle of single-mindedly serving wealthy customers, and their solemn visit obviously attested to their significant regard for Meng Yu.
Along with their visit, they also brought thirteen Divine Thunders.
They brought one more than what Fu Youzhi offered, and they were free of charge.
"Ah, you are too kind."
Of course, the thirteen Divine Thunders wouldn’t accompany them inside, but their pleasantries at the door were naturally recorded on a Memory Stone.
Previously, in that video clip at the Immortal Sect, Meng Yu posed a rather simple arithmetic problem: If Meng Yu could earn thirty million Spirit Stones and spent a hundred thousand on twelve Divine Thunders, how many times could he afford to do so?
Three hundred times, he could explode three hundred more times!
This simple arithmetic must have frightened some people from the Immortal Sect out of their wits.
Of course, there was a trap in that video. The twelve Divine Thunders purchased from Fu Youzhi could not possibly have caused such massive destruction. The cost-performance ratio was so high that for just a hundred thousand Spirit Stones, they could eliminate two Golden Cores and about a dozen Foundation Establishment practitioners from the Immortal Sect.
The real game-changer was the result of Bai Qianqian’s careful selection.
She picked the twelve best Divine Thunders from the more than thirty they bought, which could be combined into a formation, and after scouting the ley lines and designing the Formation Diagram, she made preparations on Thousand Cloud Mountain. It led to that impressive outcome, the total expense exceeding a million Spirit Stones, but the people from the Immortal Sect did not know that. They just thought that Meng Yu spent a hundred thousand Spirit Stones to take down Zhao Yuxuan and two Golden Cores!
Even if the smart ones in the Immortal Sect found problems with the story, could they run to the Western Wastes to validate it?
The president of Jingtai Firm, a veteran Golden Core Master, took the initiative to enter the great formation of the Moon-Watching Sect to discuss business with Bai Qianqian and Meng Yu.
After watching Meng Yu’s video, he straightforwardly proposed that Jingtai Firm was willing to add five million Spirit Stones to take over the Spirit Rice deal.
Regrettably, Meng Yu declined.
"That day, I just felt that Fu Youzhi was a good person, and I wanted to make friends. Adding the reputation of the Mysterious Heaven Sect, I wanted to build rapport, so I quoted a friendly price. But since they aren’t enthusiastic, let’s forget it. Spirit Rice business involves high volumes but low profit margins, it’s too much hassle."
Meng Yu’s refusal did not cause Master Lang Zhenren to turn around and leave; on the contrary, his attitude became even more amiable.
Some have calculated how many Spirit Stones and Spirit Rice Meng Yu spent below the mountain over so many days; his generosity made Master Lang Zhenren only want to say, I too want to do business with you.
Although he probed multiple times and did not clear up Meng Yu’s background, that was quite normal. Many powerful beings look down upon the Western Wastes anyway.
"Mr. Meng, you see, sometimes when you travel back and forth from home, there’s always a lot of loss in Spirit Stones. Since that’s the case, why not take some goods along to supplement your household needs?
Spirit Rice doesn’t make much profit, but we can discuss other things. We have many great items. For example, besides Middle-grade Spirit Stones, we also have Superior Spirit Stones available for trade. What do you think?"
The conversation went smoothly and happily, and in the end, Meng Yu and Master Lang Zhenren agreed to host a trading event in two months.
The Moon-Watching Sect would provide the venue and handle the arrangements, Meng Yu would bring a batch of goods from his side for the trade, and Jingtai Firm would bring enough Spirit Stones and treasures. At the same time, they wouldn’t refuse other merchants from joining, such as the Myriad Gold Pavilion.
Meng Yu spoke practically when he said everyone should get rich together; wouldn’t the trading event go more smoothly that way?
He wasn’t aiming to make money, mainly just to enjoy the hustle and bustle.
After all, he was a Qi Refinement Practitioner still preparing for the Son of Heavenly Way project and dared not even leave the sect.
