Chapter 765 Bai Zhilan Becomes a Ruthless Capitalist
"We pay our respects to the Vice Leader!"
At the coronation square of the Star God Cult, hundreds of millions of followers were completely dumbfounded.
Why did a vice leader suddenly appear out of nowhere?
She is a dragon girl who has no connection with the Star God Cult.
It should be known that Xingchen is a supreme sect that occupies three thousand Dao states. Its fortune is prosperous, and those who serve as elders are blessed with boundless good fortune, making their enlightenment smoother.
Those who serve as vice-leader and leader will surely become celestial beings in the future; almost all the celestial beings in the Star God Cult have held these two positions.
They could even serve as the leader of a cult for a long time and break through to become a supreme god.
However, the Star Mother has a rule that each person can only serve a maximum of twelve Yuanhui.
This demonstrates just how important the positions of the leader and deputy leader of the Star God Cult are.
Gu Qing gave such an important position to someone who had no connection with the person, which made everyone very upset.
Of course, the one who suffered the most was Mingyu.
With one more deputy leader, there will be one more person sharing the fortune.
But this was Gu Qing's order, so no matter how uncomfortable he was, he had to hold it in.
Chen Mo stood below the stage, his hands behind his back, watching Bai Zhilan's coronation with longing in his eyes.
Bai Zhilan changed into a star-patterned Taoist robe and wore a crown. Boundless good fortune surrounded her, making her look like an empress ruling the universe.
Chen Mo also wanted the position of vice leader, but he wanted the position of leader even more.
After all, who would complain about having too much good fortune?
"What exactly are Master and Senior Brother's intentions...?"
Bai Zhilan felt boundless good fortune bestowed upon her, and her mind became clear and ethereal, her soul elevated.
The profound mysteries of the Great Dao that had troubled her for so long suddenly became clear to her, giving her a sense of sudden enlightenment.
While Bai Zhilan was overjoyed, she also felt a sudden sense of panic and confusion.
Gu Qing didn't want her preaching order, and even gave her the position of vice sect leader. If he values her, then this is a great thing.
But Gu Qing didn't value her at all.
This gave her the feeling of being raised like a pig.
"No, no, my meager resources are nothing for my senior brother to covet, and besides, Master isn't that kind of person." Bai Zhilan shook her head secretly, dispelling the unease in her heart.
"This must be a test from my master and senior brother. As long as I stop getting entangled with Senior Brother Chen Mo, everything will be fine."
Thinking this through, Bai Zhilan's gaze gradually hardened, and she didn't look at Chen Mo again.
After hastily completing the coronation ceremony, Bai Zhilan summoned a group of elders to the Star Hall for a meeting.
If you want to wear a crown, you must bear its weight!
Since he has taken on the role of vice-leader, he must shoulder the responsibility for the prosperity of the religion.
The saints dared not deceive Bai Zhilan in the slightest, and revealed the entire wealth of the Divine Sect, as well as various secret realms, disciple training plans, and so on, all through divine thought transmission.
Bai Zhilan's divine sense revealed everything about Xingchen, and even though she was mentally prepared, she was still shocked.
It is said that the dragon race is wealthy, the richest race in the world, with countless treasures.
However, compared to the Star God Cult, it still falls short.
After a moment's thought, Bai Zhilan instructed the elders to increase the training of disciples, double their treatment, and open the mountain gate to accept disciples.
It would be best to hire a group of sages and celestial advisors to enhance the power of the Zhou Tian Xing Dou Grand Array.
Mingyu frowned: "Everything else is negotiable. Our cult has countless resources and can afford to build it."
"But sages and celestial beings are detached from the world; what they seek is nothing more than fortune or true treasures. How could we possibly have any extra to give them?"
"Indeed, they have their own lineage of great principles, which are different from ours. Their hearts are not aligned, so the benefits outweigh the drawbacks."
"This plan will not work; please reconsider."
The Star God Cult is not lacking in saints and celestial beings, so they naturally do not want to have another group of people sharing the spoils.
"Vice Leader Bai, is this your intention, or the leader's?" Qi Ruilin asked, her eyes darting around.
"It's my personal decision!"
Bai Zhilan said, "You all misunderstand. What I meant was to hire guest advisors, not to serve them."
“We do not require any position or a single innate spirit crystal. We will only provide a cave dwelling and a spot to join our cult.”
Upon hearing this, everyone looked on in astonishment.
Guest servants, also known as shike, were only provided with food and lodging and served as henchmen for their masters.
If it's a cultivator at the God Emperor realm, then of course there's no problem.
In fact, this is the treatment given to the outer disciples of the Starry Sky Divine Sect.
The servant disciples were even worse off. They received no benefits and had to do menial tasks, and they had to contribute points to my cult every month.
This is considered paid work.
Even so, the spots for menial disciples were fiercely contested by countless geniuses.
After all, even a menial disciple is still a disciple. If they have enough points, they can exchange them for the sect's cultivation techniques, secret arts, supernatural powers, magic treasures, pills, and so on.
Furthermore, as long as one passes the test, one can be promoted to an outer disciple.
But saints and celestial beings are the ancestors of their respective regions, the foundation of their sects. To make them guest ministers would be an insult.
Will anyone join?
Perhaps there really is.
The reason is simple: the Star Cult is too powerful. Even without a salary, the status of a Star Cult disciple is enough to make people envious.
Moreover, there are various benefits. As long as you earn enough points, you can enter the Scripture Pavilion to study Taoist scriptures and exchange them for treasures.
"Since everyone has no objections, then it's decided." Bai Zhilan made the final decision.
“Dragon Girl, we have no objection to you recruiting guest retainers, but you cannot touch Daozhou.”
Emperor Ziwei, sensing something, descended upon the Star Palace with his divine sense to observe the past.
For some reason, a sense of unease rose in his heart.
Although all three thousand Dao Provinces have branches of the Star God Sect, what truly governs these Dao Provinces is the lineage passed down by these celestial beings.
He suspected that Bai Zhilan was trying to sabotage them.
Recruiting saints and celestial beings is just the beginning. When the time is right, they will merge the lineages they have passed down and gather hundreds of millions of followers.
Bai Zhilan pondered for a moment and said, "Don't worry, senior brother, I'm not that kind of person. Speaking of which, I'm also going to start my own sect. I hope you can give me some guidance when that time comes."
"Oh, I hope so."
Emperor Ziwei sighed and withdrew his divine sense.
He realized that Bai Zhilan was nothing more than a vicious dragon under Gu Qing's control, and everything depended on Gu Qing's will.
Even if Gu Qing intended to retake Daozhou, they were powerless to stop him.
Bai Zhilan: "Fellow Daoist Mingyu, how is the collection of the fire seeds that the sect leader instructed you to collect coming along?"
“Collection complete,” Mingyu replied.
"Leave it all to me."
“This…” Ming Yu hesitated.
These were specially collected at Gu Qing's behest; not a single one could be embezzled, and they all had to be handed over.
How could he dare give it to Bai Zhilan?
As for handing it over to Bai Zhilan...
Only a fool would do that.
He helped Gu Qing collect so many strange flames, which is a great achievement. Gu Qing might be so happy that he would reward him with treasures.
“The sect leader is cultivating his mind in the mortal world and it’s inconvenient for him to meet people, so leave everything to me,” Bai Zhilan said.
"All right!"
Having said all that, Mingyu had no choice but to hand it over.
A bead flew out of his body, containing hundreds of thousands of strange flames.
Moreover, most of them have already been upgraded to the transcendent level, and there are dozens of sage-level flames, which have been seized by heaven and man three times.
"Hi~"
Chen Mo, who had been silent all along, was shocked when he saw so many sparks; he almost couldn't resist reaching out to snatch them.
He was genuinely envious and jealous.
Looking back, he went through countless life-and-death ordeals in order to obtain a strange flame.
Upgrading the fire seed to the Holy Flame level required an unknown amount of treasures and effort.
Gu Qing, on the other hand, could obtain hundreds of thousands of fire seeds with just one order.
Chen Mo was so envious his dick turned purple.
"What does Gu Qing need so many strange flames for..." Chen Mo's eyes flickered, and the question immediately came to mind.
