MTLNOVEL Chapter 317: Before Leaving_2
Upon seeing this directive, both Panda Huahua and the ambassador had the look of having feces smeared on their faces; why should they clean up the mess made by those fools in the Immortal Sect, were Meng Yu's demands too high?
In the past, when Meng Yu was in the Immortal Sect, he had proposed many conditions during cooperation.
First, for the Blood Pool of Ten Thousand Spirits and related herbs, he aimed for the First Grade Golden Core, thus his essence, energy, and spirit had to be complete, which was beneficial for tempering his muscles and body.
Second, he needed one set of the Blood River Array Diagram of the Blood God Sect, ranked third or fourth, to collect corpses at the Old Immortal Gate, namely, gathering the deceased cultivators within the Blood River Great Array and using them as weapons, which served as his protective magical treasures after achieving the Golden Core.
Third, he was to receive the treatment reserved for Nascent Soul stage cultivators in the Immortal Sect; any online comments and attacks against him must be positively managed. He couldn't be sweating and bleeding for the Immortal Sect only to have people anonymously attack him, taking the moral high ground.
Fourth...
Fifth...
...
The final condition was to set Bai Qianqian free and not confine her within the proximity of the Moon God!
In reality, these conditions were not demanding, except for the Blood River Array Diagram and the situation with Bai Qianqian.
Everyone feared Meng Yu might directly refine the Immortal Sect's Golden Cores into the array diagram, but one could only control him because he was in the Immortal Sect, not because he had to buy from you; you are merely a middleman.
As for the Blood Pool of Ten Thousand Spirits, public criticism, and so forth, he gave you significant benefits, yet you hesitated and carried out various research, even using it as leverage in negotiations and more. Now, look, the partnership is at an impasse.
Meng Yu left the Immortal Sect and came to the Blood God Sect, not only obtaining the Blood Pool of Ten Thousand Spirits but also purchasing supplies extensively. Now tell me, who is seeking cooperation with whom at this moment?
You've been nagging and stalling previously; now that he can obtain everything on his own, you're suddenly sheepish, suggesting negotiations, and even now the last condition isn't met?
Panda Huahua was so upset in those days that he couldn't even eat his bamboo, and Mr. Ambassador got even more white hairs in panic, while Yu Xuetong visited Meng Yu's courtyard every day, waiting to speak with Xiao Jun—well, the Golden Cores who frequented Meng Yu's place often stopped to ask Mr. Yu, "Is Xiao Jun really not Meng Yu?"
Then, Yu Xuetong would emotionlessly ensure, "No, no, absolutely not!"
Then, everyone burst into laughter.
Fortunately, the final conversation partner on the seventh day was Yu Xuetong, who understood why he was scheduled for that time.
The message took three days to send, three days to respond, leaving one day for the highest echelons of the Immortal Sect to discuss and solve the problem, which was very reasonable of him.
Back then, you troubled me in many ways; now, I give you time to ponder.

...
The conversation between Yu Xuetong and Meng Yu proceeded without any remarkable disruptions.
The talks between significant and insignificant figures were solely for message transmission.
Now, Meng Yu was a significant figure.
Yu Xuetong first inquired about the life and death of the six hundred Golden Cores, to which Meng Yu replied that things were pretty peaceful at the Old Immortal Gate; mostly, he was just idling around, comparable to a cricket's Foundation Establishment stage, not helping much, so he simply wasn't staying there and came out for a breather.
The Golden Cores were lively and well. Meng Yu said, "Whose photo do you want? I could send you a 360-degree video with no dead angles at any time, including a large group of them, and even let them confirm they're alive."
Believe it or not, among those mission-carrying Golden Cores, they have special hand gestures to indicate certain meanings: all's well, still alive, everything is proceeding smoothly and safely.
Hearing that the six hundred Golden Cores were safe and sound, Yu Xuetong breathed a deep sigh of relief.
As long as they were alive, there wasn't a significant problem.
The rest was easy to discuss, then the two engaged in a series of unproductive dialogues; Yu Xuetong would say something, Meng Yu would reply, "Alright, alright, alright," and if Meng Yu said something, Yu Xuetong would exclaim, "Amazing, fantastic!"
Because Yu Xuetong was merely a messenger, a tool, his current promises were essentially worthless, and Meng Yu did not need to converse with him carefully.
As the conversation came to an end, what followed was a private discussion between the two.
"Meng Yu, do you really want to do this? How will Immortal Sect view you in the future?"
Yu Xuetong finally couldn't help himself and asked.
Meng Yu could return at any time; it was not too late to turn back now.
"Whose Immortal Sect? Yours, or mine?"
Meng Yu laughed.
The jade rabbits could say they were theirs; the old jade rabbit and the other jade rabbits had all died in battle, leaving only Little Black Rabbit.
Mirror Twelve could reprimand Meng Yu as his brothers and sisters had all died on the battlefield.
But as for the others... Yu Xuetong had nothing to say.
"True Sage Yu, we are but a small boat in this sea of suffering. Living well, harming no one, and helping others within our means is the greatest kindness. Please tell the friends in Immortal Sect that I mean well and hope for a good ending with everyone."
Having said that, Meng Yu looked at Xia Hailu's villa in the middle of the neighborhood, which was his new residence.
He had visited that day and really liked it, so Meng Yu decided to make it his own home.
Relocation is a troublesome matter, but it's much simpler if the counterpart is a government employee. You just need to find her superior, talk about local economic development, and mention that a wealthy investor from overseas has taken an interest in the land. See if they could painfully part with it?
Thus, Xia Hailu's villa became Meng Yu's.
"True Sage Yu, you could invest in a weapon too. The friends from the embassy could also help invest; I just happen to need your help."
Meng Yu said politely.
In this cursed age, prospering together is the only way to success.
Meng Yu never minded bringing friends along for prosperity; the cake was too big for him to finish alone, but he must be the one wielding the knife to slice it.
...
Seven days of interviews and chats came to a conclusion, and in the days that followed, Yu Xuetong became a supervisor. He led the embassy staff, helping Meng Yu inspect his new residence and set up various Arrays.
They worked, and Meng Yu felt at ease.
The Formation was the pinnacle of Third Grade, taught by Mirror Twelve. Its layered effects were sufficient for Meng Yu to withstand the attack of several Golden Cores for over half an hour without much fancy, so simple that even Nascent Souls couldn't sneak in.
And if five or six Golden Cores joined in the defense, it could withstand the attack of thirty to fifty Golden Cores, even using the Array to counterattack.
The only flaw of the Formation was the need for Spirit Stones, but that was really a minor issue for Meng Yu.
After another ten days, Meng Yu's new residence was finally set up, and Yu Xuetong completed his task perfectly, savoring the rumors he heard every day with relish.
Blood God Sect was a sieve; rumors flew everywhere.
For example, that there was actually a Teleportation Array inside, that Xiao Jun was not really Meng Yu, and that he planned to scam everyone's treasures and then run away, and so on.
Alright, these were the fabrications of many envious people, like initially there was really a quota, and a certain Golden Core hesitated to say forget it. Then in a blink of an eye, many were willing to buy the investment at a high price—there were still Spirit Stones on the Immortal Sect's side for special reasons, but in the Blood God Empire, Cultivators were far poorer, the vast empire constantly needing Spirit Stones, causing hardly any stock in the market!
Magical Artifacts require precious materials, various efforts, accumulated magical power, and so on, but after all, they are still hand-made, whereas you just don't have much Spirit Stones!
Everyone wanted to squeeze in.
The people at the embassy didn't believe this; each Golden Core had invested a Magical Treasure.
Compared to rumors, everyone trusted Meng Yu more, and compared to Immortal Sect, everyone was more optimistic about Meng Yu, who had deceived the Sect.
The only question now was when Meng Yu would return and when he would come back?
