Lack of talent? I'll buy a year's worth of cultivation for one dollar!

Venerable Shepherd didn't think much of it.

He composed himself and decisively left his mark of law on the contract in front of him.

hum.

The contract is established.

They transformed into two streams of light, which disappeared into each other's sea of ​​consciousness.

"The control center for the mineral vein is in the array room on the first floor."

Venerable Shepherd stood up without the slightest hesitation.

"Please, make yourselves at home."

That's all.

He no longer glanced at his two arrogant opponents.

He turned around and strode out of the main hall.

His figure transformed into a streak of dark golden starlight, tearing through the void and leaving the Shattered Star Belt.

Mad Sand Venerable watched Mu Xing's departing figure and sneered.

"He's smart to know his place."

……

Eastern Wilderness.

The Xinghai Chamber of Commerce branch is located in a secluded, empty courtyard.

Venerable Shepherd stepped out of the spatial rift.

His face was somewhat gloomy, but he quickly forced himself to remain calm.

Losing the mineral vein is definitely painful.

but.

In comparison, he valued Su Yu more.

Su Yu is his true core asset!

As long as Su Yu can help him get the Taixu Calamity Ashes, and then use the Taixu Calamity Ashes to break through to the Cosmic Light Realm.

He can get back the assets he lost today, with interest, in the future!

"actually……"

As Venerable Shepherd walked along the bluestone path in the villa, the corner of his mouth twitched involuntarily.

"What hurts the most isn't this mineral vein at all."

"It's the sixty quadrillion top-grade star stones that Young Friend Su took before he went into seclusion!"

that time.

To meet Su Yu's resource needs, he almost drained most of the chamber of commerce's working capital and inventory.

This has led to the chamber of commerce struggling to operate.

but.

Venerable Shepherd took a deep breath and tried to reassure himself.

"It's not a big problem."

"Star Stones are ultimately just low-level resources."

"Moreover, Su Yu possesses genuine Venerable-level combat strength. Obtaining the help of a Venerable using only low-level resources is a huge gain."

"Besides, once I achieve the Radiant Achievement, am I afraid I won't be able to earn back these worthless stones?"

Adjust your mindset.

Venerable Shepherd Star pushed open a bamboo door deep inside the courtyard.

yard.

Su Yu, dressed in a plain robe, sat quietly at the stone table.

I didn't drink tea.

There was no cultivation.

He simply sat there, as if he had completely merged with the surrounding world.

Venerable Shepherd stepped forward.

His gaze fell on Su Yu, and his pupils suddenly contracted.

He was astonished to discover this.

He couldn't see through Su Yu's cultivation level at all!

Previously on the Ancient Road of the Void, although Su Yu was powerful, he would occasionally reveal a trace of the sharpness of the Great Dao of Space.

And now.

Su Yu sat there, looking like an ordinary person without any cultivation.

but.

The Star Shepherd's intuition was giving him a warning.

He felt that the space around Su Yu seemed to be under an incomprehensible and terrifying gravitational force.

The light was slightly distorted as it approached Su Yu.

"Is it an illusion?"

Suppressing his shock, Venerable Shepherd smiled gently.

"Young friend Su."

Venerable Shepherd sat down opposite the stone table, his tone revealing concern.

"How come you're out of seclusion so quickly?"

"But what kind of obstacles have you encountered in your cultivation?"

Su Yu looked at Venerable Mu Xing.

There was no ripple in those deep eyes.

He offered no pleasantries or explanations.

"I need more resources."

Ga.

The smile on Venerable Shepherd's face froze instantly.

He stared blankly at Su Yu.

My mind went blank for a moment.

"More...more resources?"

The voice of Venerable Shepherd Star had a rare stutter.

He swallowed.

"Young friend."

"Before you, I allocated a full 60 quadrillion top-grade star stones to you."

"That represents most of the Chamber of Commerce's foundation."

The Star Shepherd's heart was bleeding, he asked tentatively.

"You...you mustn't tell me."

"You've spent it all?"

Su Yu looked at him.

Without hesitation, he nodded.

"Um."

"It's all gone."

Quiet.

A deathly silence fell over the courtyard.

Venerable Shepherd sat on the stone bench, his whole body numb.

Sixty quadrillion!

Top-grade Star Essence Stone!

It's only been a few months!

Even if you used it to fill in the ocean, it could fill dozens of star systems!

Did you use it for cultivation or to eat it?!

Venerable Shepherd felt a tightness in his chest and almost spat out a mouthful of blood.

But he was, after all, a chamber of commerce president who had weathered many storms.

He took three deep breaths.

He forcibly swallowed the urge to curse.

reason.

We must remain rational.

"Young friend..."

Venerable Shepherd gave a bitter laugh, his tone revealing a deep sense of helplessness and exhaustion.

"It's not that I don't want to help you."

"But the Chamber of Commerce is indeed facing difficulties right now."

Venerable Shepherd sighed and began to pour out his grievances.

"That 60 trillion has already put the Chamber of Commerce's cash flow under extreme strain."

"and."

"There are currently no clues about the whereabouts of the Taixu Calamity Ashes, and the intelligence network is still searching with all its might."

Venerable Shepherd rubbed his temples.

"What makes things even worse is..."

"Just now, the Chamber of Commerce discovered an extremely valuable asset: the Void Realm Silver Mine."

"It was forcibly taken away."

Venerable Shepherd shook his head.

"The Chamber of Commerce really doesn't have many decent resources left right now."

Upon hearing this...

Su Yu frowned slightly.

He looked at Venerable Shepherd Star.

A cold glint flashed in his eyes.

Cutting off someone's livelihood is like killing their parents.

The Xinghai Chamber of Commerce is now his support and the source of funding for his immortal achievements.

Robbing the Xinghai Chamber of Commerce's mine is tantamount to robbing Su Yu's money.

That's really unreasonable.

"Who?"

Su Yu spoke calmly.

There wasn't a trace of warmth or humanity in his tone.

"I'll go and get it back for you."

Su Yu said this casually.

however.

To Venerable Shepherd Star, it was like a thunderclap from a clear sky.

Venerable Shepherd was startled.

He suddenly stood up from the stone bench, waving his hands frantically.

"No way!"

"Young friend, please don't act rashly!"

Herdsman's eyes were filled with anxiety and apprehension.

He was afraid that Su Yu, young and impetuous, would go and die.

"The one who stole the mineral vein is the Global Business Alliance!"

"The team is led by two old monsters at the late stage of the Star String Realm!"

Venerable Shepherd lowered his voice, his tone filled with deep reverence.

"That's not the worst part."

"What's most terrifying is that they have the Shadowless Venerable backing them up!"

Venerable Shepherd stared at Su Yu, trying to make him understand the seriousness of the matter.

"That's a supreme being at the Cosmic Light Realm!"

"Young friend, your talent is indeed high, and your mastery of the Great Dao of Space is also quite amazing."

"But you have absolutely no concept of the terror of the Cosmic Light Realm!"

Venerable Shepherd took a deep breath and began to describe the power of the Cosmic Light Realm.

"The Star String Realm is merely grasping the threads of the laws."

"The Realm of Cosmic Light, however, unfolds the laws into a plane!"

"That's a dimensional crushing defeat!"

"In the face of the Cosmic Light Realm, the Great Dao of the Star String Realm will be instantly covered and reduced in dimensionality."

"There's not even a chance to resist!"

Venerable Shepherd Star earnestly tried to dissuade him.

"A single cultivator at the Cosmic Light Realm can easily crush a hundred Venerables at the Star String Realm!!"

"You've only just entered the Star String realm; you're no match for them!"

"Where there's life, there's hope."

"When you grow up, we'll..."

Venerable Shepherd had not yet finished speaking.

It stopped.

Because he saw it.

Su Yu sat on the stone bench, quietly watching him.

There was no fear.

There was no fear.

After Venerable Shepherd finished speaking.

Su Yu slowly stood up.

A simple white robe fluttered gently in the breeze.

He did not explain that he had already reached the realm of reverse power.

He didn't flaunt his terrifying physical body with its eighty-one Chaos Cores.

He simply looked at Venerable Shepherd Star.

I asked a question.

"Where are the coordinates?"
