"Sect Leader Wu, looking at me like that puts a lot of pressure on me. I, Qiu Wanqian, will do whatever my Puppet Sect needs. However, as you know, in recent years, my Puppet Sect has been spending more than it earns in spirit stones to train disciples and make puppets. But if Sect Leader Wu takes us in, we will contribute whatever we have. However, we will have to trouble Sect Leader Wu to find the spirit stones needed to operate this puppet."
Qiu Wanqian's righteous and awe-inspiring demeanor earned everyone's admiration, but Wu Qin did not share that view.
The cost of a puppet, how many spirit stones it uses, and how it's consumed are all up to him; outsiders have no idea. If he were to ask for an exorbitant price, and Wu Qin, the sect leader, couldn't afford it, wouldn't he just become a laughingstock?
If you want him to bleed, fine! When there are difficulties, we all have to shoulder them together. We can't always let the First Realm Sect take the lead; no matter how much wealth we have, it won't be enough to squander.
Wu Qinchong nodded to Qiu Wanqian and said, "Sect Leader Qiu is very righteous. I thank the Puppet Sect on behalf of all the people. However, although the method I came up with does not require much risk, the losses involved cannot be borne entirely by the Puppet Sect. As the number one sect in the immortal world, I, on behalf of the Yijing Sect, offer five thousand low-grade spirit stones, one thousand high-grade spirit stones, and one hundred top-grade spirit stones. I hope Sect Leader Qiu will spare no effort to find out the truth for everyone, so as not to waste our complete trust in Sect Leader Qiu."
"Sect Leader Wu is selfless and dedicated, so we cannot stand idly by. On behalf of the Wind Sect, I offer one thousand low-grade spirit stones and five hundred high-grade spirit stones."
"I'll offer two thousand low-grade spirit stones."
"I'll offer 1,500."
"I'll pay..."
"I'll pay..."
With Wu Qin taking the lead, everyone present donated spirit stones. In no time, they had raised 13,500 low-grade spirit stones, 3,000 high-grade spirit stones, and 500 top-grade spirit stones, which was about what Wu Qin had imagined.
Qiu Wanqian smiled and gave Wu Qin a deep look, inwardly muttering to himself.
It's just a few puppets, it shouldn't cost so many spirit stones. What exactly is Wu Qin up to?
"Thank you all for your generosity. In that case, Sect Leader Qiu, could you please allow Elder Qiaoyin to make the trip on our behalf? This desolate place is extremely dangerous; if we send anyone else, they might not return. Please, Sect Leader Qiu, consider the greater good!"
What a great example of prioritizing the overall situation!
If Qiu Wanqian's gaze could kill, Wu Qin would already be riddled with holes by now.
After going through all this trouble, all to get the experts in his sect to make a move, what a clever scheme.
"I dare not refuse your high expectations. However, to avoid any unforeseen events, I would like to request that you send your most skilled members to accompany Elder Qiaoyin. This will allow us to investigate the matter and, if a demon does indeed emerge, we can deal with it together. What do you all think?"
