Just a Useful Pawn in the Stain Sect

Chapter 630: Chapter 629: I Want a Void Certificate

’Isn’t this like a sheep walking into a tiger’s den?’

Despite his thoughts, Lü Yang showed no hesitation. The Outer Dao Alliance flew toward the gaping, bloody maw, and a moment later, his vision suddenly expanded.

”We’re in!”

Lü Yang scanned his surroundings. The bizarre face had vanished, replaced by a magnificent vista. A dense, sweet Spiritual Qi permeated the space between Heaven and Earth.

”Congratulations, fellow Daoists!”

At the same time, figures of light and shadow materialized all around the newly ascended Outer Dao Alliance. They were the Immortal Monarchs of the Celestial Mansion, and every one of them was smiling.

The one in the lead was none other than Cyan Yang Immortal Monarch.

This Immortal Monarch had been in high spirits lately. After all, he had made the brilliant decision to exit the field while Immortal Monarch Gu Ming was still putting up a final, desperate struggle.

As a result, he not only covered all his losses but also made a hefty profit. This allowed him to replace Immortal Monarch Gu Ming’s former position in one fell swoop, his status rising accordingly. The manifestation of the Fruit of Money surrounding him had also expanded considerably. Thus, the gaze he now fixed on Lü Yang was blazing with extreme fervor.

’The God of Wealth is here!’

Seeing this, Lü Yang returned the gesture with a smile of his own. ”Greetings, Fellow Daoist Qingyang. I’m a newcomer here, so I hope you’ll look after me in the days to come.”

”Not at all! You’re too kind!”

Cyan Yang Immortal Monarch waved his hand and said eagerly, ”I only hope that now that you’ve come to the upper layer, Fellow Daoist Ming He, you won’t forget about me when you find a way to get rich. I’d be eternally grateful.”

”What a coincidence, then.”

Lü Yang shook his head, then looked toward the crowd of Immortal Monarchs who had come to witness the event. His voice boomed, ”As it happens, I have a big project on my hands right now.”

”I just need a bit of startup capital to get it rolling. It’ll generate compound interest, with returns no less than the Wuyou Talisman!”

”If any of you fellow Daoists are interested, we can discuss the details in private.”

”Additionally, I’ll be sharing investment methods and teaching wealth-generating techniques within the Outer Dao Alliance. All fellow Daoists are welcome to pay the membership fee to join and audit the sessions.”

...

Lü Yang’s words quickly spread throughout the upper layer of the Celestial Mansion.

Previously, most Immortal Monarchs would have simply scoffed. After all, getting rich wasn’t that easy. But since the one making the claim was Lü Yang, it was a different story.

The impact of the Wuyou Talisman hadn’t faded yet.

To this day, the Immortal Monarchs who had once flocked to Immortal Monarch Gu Ming and followed his advice to speculate on the Wuyou Talisman were still destitute, some nearly falling from their Realm.

The wealth of many Immortal Race Sects had shrunk drastically as a result.

It was only because the upper layer of the Celestial Mansion had deep reserves, and was overseen by four Mid-stage Immortal Monarchs who had achieved Financial Freedom, that a major catastrophe was averted.

With such a track record, who wouldn’t believe Lü Yang when he claimed to have another big project? Especially after seeing Cyan Yang Immortal Monarch be the first to sign up, many other Immortal Monarchs began to murmur amongst themselves. They could stand not making a profit, but letting Cyan Yang Immortal Monarch get rich again? That was more unbearable than earning nothing at all!

For a moment, the undercurrents began to shift.

Although most Immortal Monarchs, conscious of their status, ultimately chose to remain spectators, three or four who were on the verge of bankruptcy decided to contact Lü Yang.

Everyone waited with anticipation.

After the cautionary tale of the Wuyou Talisman, everyone was now extremely wary of similar situations. So how exactly would Lü Yang help them make money under these circumstances?

...

”Make money? You’ve got to be kidding.”

Within the Outer Dao Alliance, more than ten Immortal Monarchs stood in a circle, surrounding Lü Yang like stars orbiting the moon.

In addition to the six Outer Dao True Monarchs of the Outer Dao Alliance, there was also the newly ascended Orthodox Immortal Monarch, Wu Daoxuan—now Daoxuan Immortal Monarch. Cyan Yang Immortal Monarch was present as well, along with three Orthodox Immortal Monarchs he had brought with him. That made a total of eleven figures, and without exception, they all looked at Lü Yang with eyes full of craving, eagerness, and expectation.

But as Lü Yang’s words fell, confusion appeared on everyone’s faces. ’What does he mean? Was everything he said before just a gimmick? Does he actually have no way to help us get rich?’

”You’re all thinking this is too easy.”

Lü Yang smiled faintly at their reaction. ”Let’s be honest with ourselves. In the current climate, is there any future in speculating on Immortal Talismans? It’s become incredibly difficult to get rich overnight that way.”

”Hmm...”

At his words, the crowd sank into contemplation before looks of resignation appeared on their faces. It was true. The entire Immortal Talisman market had been left in a slump by the Wuyou Talisman.

Under these conditions, no one was willing to enter the market.

Even if they did, they’d be as skittish as startled birds, panicking at the slightest disturbance. Replicating the Wuyou Talisman’s miracle was definitely not happening anytime soon.

”Then what should we do?”

Cyan Yang Immortal Monarch was the first to speak up. ”Fellow Daoist Ming He, you can stop keeping us in suspense. Just tell us. We all paid the fee to attend this lecture, after all.”

”That’s right, that’s right!” The other Orthodox Immortal Monarchs chimed in.

Lü Yang glanced at Cyan Yang Immortal Monarch and the three Orthodox Immortal Monarchs who had come with him. He knew full well what was going on. ’These few are either short on money or completely broke. They’re all desperate to make a fortune... People like this are the easiest to control, and the easiest to persuade.’

Thinking of this, he chuckled softly.

”In that case, I won’t hide it from you fellow Daoists any longer... The Immortal Pivot. You all know of it, yes? It’s a land of treasures, with Artifacts everywhere.”

”You mean to say...?” Cyan Yang Immortal Monarch’s gaze sharpened.

Only then did Lü Yang finally get to the point. He lowered his voice and said, ”I have an in with the Immortal Pivot... The risk is a bit high, but the profits are immense.”

”Fortune favors the bold, as they say.”

”If you fellow Daoists have the guts for it, we’ll split the profits seventy-thirty after it’s all done. How about it?”

As his words fell, the entire room went silent.

Cyan Yang Immortal Monarch and the others stared with wide eyes, nearly crying out in shock.

The Immortal Monarchs present were no fools. Hearing Lü Yang speak so plainly and connecting it to his identity as someone from Beyond the Heavens, they instantly understood.
