Throughout history, whether it's hunting down exotic beasts or eradicating the evil god cult, the Five Elements Sect has always relied solely on Ye Feng.
If the Five Elements Sect lacks advanced cultivators, this arrangement would be understandable.
But now that everyone's risking their life savings, and Ye Feng is the only one leading the charge... that just doesn't make sense.
Especially since everyone clearly knows that the cost of a spirit leaf is less than two million top-grade spirit stones.
Seeing everyone's expressions, Ling Fengxue looked at Ye Feng with some difficulty.
His eyes couldn't help but reveal a hint of reproach.
He clearly worked very hard to get those spirit leaves; it's only right that he earns some spirit stones in return.
But he insisted on hiring a large number of people and spending money on it.
Now look what's happened, everyone's jealous, right?
By this time, Ye Feng had finished his calculations.
The wealth of Lingyu Realm is significantly less than that of the other four worlds.
The influence of evil gods played a significant role in this.
However, the total value of the spirit stones he possesses should be sufficient to operate, in addition to the tens of thousands of immortal essence stones he currently owns...
Thinking of this, Ye Feng stood up abruptly.
"I can cover the labor costs for building the city wall!"
What?!
Upon hearing Ye Feng's words, everyone was taken aback.
The construction of the city wall, while requiring a large amount of spirit ore and stone,
But if you really calculate the labor costs, they probably account for one-third of the total expenses.
However, transporting spiritual materials to a designated location is no small expense.
Similar to the Thousand Evolutions Array Diagram that carried 100,000 people, it required the combined efforts of several Great Immortal Venerables, using immense magical power to protect it.
This is the only way to reduce the consumption of the teleportation array.
Otherwise, even if a person carries a large amount of storage equipment, it will still consume spirit stones...
But now the work of transporting materials is obviously a long-term and continuous task. We can't let these great immortals be in charge of the transmission and transportation forever, can we?
Even if they could, they wouldn't be able to handle it all...
Could it be that Ye Feng plans to do this himself forever?
Even so, the cost of labor would probably be worth hundreds of thousands of immortal stones.
Even though Ye Feng made a lot of money selling "spirit leaves",
But there couldn't possibly be that many, could there?
Ling Fengxue wanted to speak up to stop him, but Jian Wenlin spoke first.
"Is Immortal Venerable Shenye speaking the truth? Although we are all cultivators, with a formidable enemy at hand, we must know that a ruler's words are not to be taken lightly!"
Ye Feng nodded.
"The matter of building the city wall was brought up by me, so it's not something to be taken lightly. Please rest assured! Since I've spoken, I'm confident in my abilities, however..."
Just as everyone was speculating whether Ye Feng had found some ancient ruins, his words stopped them in their tracks.
"However, I definitely can't come up with that much right now... so I have a small condition."
"What are the conditions?"
"Leave the purchase and transportation of all supplies to me. Just give me some time, and I can guarantee the supply of spirit stones!"
Ye Feng's words caused everyone to frown again.
The eldest, Lu Xiande, carefully considered his words before speaking.
"Transferring goods... requires cultivators to protect them with their magical power through the teleportation array, but if the teleportation array's energy is used to enhance it, the consumption is too great. With the Five Elements Sect's manpower, I'm afraid..."
His words seemed to express concern that Ye Feng might not be up to the task, but in reality, he was worried about the skyrocketing prices of supplies.
The funds raised from the alliance generate substantial fees to pay salaries...
His worries were the same as everyone else's, but those worries were definitely unnecessary.
With the system-run shops available, there's no need for all that trouble. Just send a Penglai disciple there.
With the shop in place, there's no need to worry about cargo transportation.
Of course, the teleportation fee still needs to be calculated. After all, the system shop charges 100 high-grade spirit stones for each teleportation beyond the third one...
Even so, it's still much cheaper than scouting from all over the country and going through hundreds or thousands of teleportation arrays.
Ye Feng now has shops in all the sixth and seventh level sects, and even in several immortal cities.
However, they haven't actually formally discussed cooperation with the major immortals yet, so they are still unaware of the Penglai Chamber of Commerce's cargo handling capabilities.
"Rest assured, everyone. The price of the supplies, plus the teleportation fee, will only be 10% higher than the market price. Moreover, I will not need to occupy the sect's teleportation array!"
Hearing Ye Feng's words, everyone was surprised again.
But since Ye Feng had already confirmed it, everyone felt relieved.
Next, we need to discuss how much money we need to raise to purchase the spiritual materials.
As members of the Cultivation Alliance, all sects are "protected" by the superior sect.
This shelter can be called a protection fee, or you can call it a management fee.
After all, without the rules of the alliance, if a cultivator at the Integration Stage (大行) level could just randomly show up and rob level six or seven sects every day, who could tolerate that...?
Now that the cultivation world needs you, it is natural that you should make a contribution.
However, after tens of thousands of years of changes, many sects have disappeared, while the actual strength of many others has increased dramatically.
Especially now during ranked challenges, some allocations might not be 100% accurate...
Of course, Ye Feng didn't need to worry about any of these things.
He paid for all the labor costs, which meant he took the largest share.
Moreover, the "conditions" he proposed were even trivial...
Final result,
An eighth-level sect contributed resources worth twenty immortal stones, a seventh-level sect contributed sixty million top-grade spirit stones, and a sixth-level sect contributed three million.
These spirit stone resources don't necessarily have to be accounted for in spirit stones.
It could be spiritual materials, elixirs, or even magical treasures, or a spot in a secret realm.
Even worse, it could be done manually to settle the debt...
Because it involved using spiritual materials to offset debts, Ye Feng took over the allocation of all these supplies.
The rest is up to each individual to make their own arrangements.
Each of the nine top sects is responsible for overall coordination.
Ye Feng, on the other hand, was in full charge of logistics!
He didn't need to worry about any of these things; with Ma Qiling and the AI, he only needed to wait for the trading points to rise...
Now, he should go and redeem the final reward for capturing the alien beast!
