Chapter 4042: Money Is King
Translator: ImmortalEmperorBao
The group along with the new recruits came to Omniscient Home after the transfer process.
The place became lively right away with new masters. This looked like the start of a new sect.
âEverything is available here.â Li Qiye smiled and told Crimsondeath Monarch: âOmniscient Dao Lord left behind top merit laws and secret arts from all over the world. Use them as rewards for notable contributions.â
âMy Lord, should we really publicize these secrets?â The monarch was startled.
Cultivation manuals were heavily guarded in any sect, never available to outsiders. This was especially true for dao lord merit laws since they were considered nothing short of priceless. Sect members themselves didnât necessarily have access to top-level merit laws.
However, Li Qiye was ready to give Omniscient Dao Lordâs secrets to the new recruits. This dao lord was famous for his knowledge and insight.
His lifelong collection of merit laws should be magnificent. Anyone else would rather monopolize it instead of sharing. Most importantly, they all belonged to Li Qiye in the first place. No one would have an issue with him keeping them for himself.
Furthermore, the new recruits had no ties with Li Qiye. Their motive was the handsome salary, nothing more.
Crimsondeath had traveled around the world but never experienced anything like this before.
âManuals are dead, they are mere pieces of paper if there is no one to take advantage of them.â Li Qiye said: âAn invincible merit law still requires a capable user to show the world its might.â
The monarch and those nearby didnât expect this response from him. It was certainly a refreshing angle.
Most of them were accomplished cultivators with prestigious backgrounds. They naturally understood how heavily guarded merit laws were. Thus, Li Qiyeâs viewpoint was a stark contrast to anyone else.
âMy Lord, your magnanimity knows no bounds. Meeting you must be the luckiest event in my life.â The monarch bowed deeply.
âLead them well. Remember, ask Aâzhi for help when necessary.â Li Qiye ordered.
He then turned towards the reticent Aâzhi and said: âFeel free to look at the sequestered merit laws. As for handlings the reward, you and Crimsondeath will be in charge.â
âYour existence shall be a blessing for the world. You have my gratitude.â Aâzhi bowed as well.
Li Qiye chuckled and waved his hand. The group left as commanded.
He then turned his attention towards Tie Jian and smiled: âYou and Aâzhi are different. Heâs only a spectator while ambition fuels you. But thatâs fine, the stage is right here, progress is up to you. If you need money, I have money. If you need merit laws and treasures, theyâre right there. I have given you all the advantages. If you still canât amount to anything, thatâs your own fault.â
âI understand, Young Noble. We will do our best to live up to your expectations.â Tie Jian solemnly said.
âI have no expectations. Itâs just that I have too much money and no place to spend.â Li Qiye chuckled.
He didnât demand anything of the group. Nonetheless, they shall avail themselves to his wealth and do their very best.
âThis is your new home now, do as you please.â Li Qiye waved.
Tie Jian bowed deeply before taking his leave.
âI donât think thereâs another master as generous as you, Young Noble.â Lu Qi said after everyone was gone.
âThen you should think about switching master, no? Youâll have all the food and clothes you want afterward.â He smiled.
Lu Qi smiled wryly and said: âIt is a blessing of three lifetimes to be able to serve you, Young Noble. However, my life belongs to my lord for what she had done for me. I will follow her till my last breath.â
She knew that he was special and not inferior to her lord. However, her loyalty remained unwavering.
âThatâs her fortune then.â He smiled.
âYoung Noble, you have a lot of trust in Aâzhi despite his mysteriousness.â Xu Yiyun started a new topic.
Li Qiye had many followers at this point but the most mysterious was Aâzhi. No one knew a thing about the old man.
These followers all had their own goals and agendas. This didnât seem to be the case for Aâzhi.
Just three meals a day? Impossible. Tie Jian said something similar but his group desired a lord capable of giving them a stage for expansion.
This didnât apply to Aâzhi. The man had no demand and simply wanted to follow Li Qiye as if he was a lost soul.
âWhy not? He doesnât look like a bad guy.â Li Qiye smiled.
âWe canât see his character in such a short time and we know nothing about him. Itâll be difficult to guard if he has treacherous intentions.â She said.
Li Qiye even allowed the guy to look at the sealed merit laws of Omniscient Dao Lord. This was something Yiyun couldnât understand. She was still afraid of potential complications by keeping him around.
âA smart man knows what he should and shouldn't do and I have no complaints about his intelligence.â Li Qiye replied.
This wasnât enough to dispel Yiyunâs doubt. She remained cautious of the old man.
Lu Qi didnât feel the same way. She was stronger and possessed more knowledge of the upper level. She wasnât afraid of the old man being able to harm Li Qiye and only had curiosity regarding his identity and goal. Why would such a powerful cultivator choose to lay low and work for Li Qiye?
Of course, Li Qiye didnât care. Aâzhi could do whatever he wanted and leave whenever as well.
***
The arrival of the group was akin to the starting of a new sect despite Li Qiye never claiming so. Nonetheless, Omniscient Home was comparable to any power right now after the influx of recruits.
Because of this, other sects and countries came to congratulate Li Qiye, wanting to please the richest man in the world.
Moreover, some tried to start business deals with Li Qiye too. His generosity was well documented at this point.
âYoung Noble, a few declining powers want to sell their land to you.â Xu Yiyun had to do numerous meetings since Li Qiye didnât want to see anyone. She then relayed it to Li Qiye.
