Chapter 985 I'm Too Rich

Not long after, the great soul masters rushed to the meeting hall one after another.

In addition, Xue Duo'er also brought two confidantes of Xuexian Palace to attend the meeting.

Su Chen got straight to the point and briefly explained the purpose of the meeting.

"this……"

Knowing that Su Chen wanted to annex the surrounding forces of the Soul Palace and strengthen the forces of the Soul Palace, everyone was shocked.

It stands to reason that what Su Chen said was a bit too strong.

The strength of the surrounding sects, although the development time is not as good as that of the Soul Palace, they are not vegetarians. Now it is time to sit back and enjoy the success of the country that they have worked so hard to achieve. The Soul Palace suddenly came over and asked them to submit. I won't agree.

In that case, it can only be suppressed by force.

Su Chen's strength is obvious to all. The Canglongwei that Su Chen brought last time also made everyone guess that Su Chen must have reached some kind of connection with the Xianxia faction, and got the support of the Xianxia faction. In the background, force is definitely not a problem.

But if you want to attack others, you have to have a reason. Just to strengthen yourself, you don’t attack others indiscriminately. This is definitely not the right way of conduct. Once it is spread, the reputation of Soul Hall will be greatly damaged. Damage, even if the strength of the surrounding sects is defeated, they will not surrender to Su Chen from the bottom of their hearts. If it goes on for a long time, it will plant disasters.

Chief Yu Shi was silent for a moment, and took the lead to say: "Xiaochen, I know you are eager to develop the Soul Palace, but this matter, is it a bit too hasty? As long as our Soul Palace continues to develop itself and become stronger to a certain extent, the surrounding With the strength of the sect, it will naturally cling to the Soul Palace, with the Soul Palace as the core, if we attack now, I am afraid it will be difficult to convince the crowd."

The other great soul masters also nodded.

"Xiaochen, you have to think twice. Our soul hall is inherited from the spirit clan. In the world of cultivating immortals, it is a bit untenable. After all these years, we have finally gained the approval of the surrounding people. If we do things like tigers and wolves now, then we will not be able to stand up. It will set off a chain reaction."

"In my opinion, if the Soul Palace wants to develop externally at this stage, it must not use force. It is the best policy to first strengthen the connection with the surrounding forces, form a stable alliance situation, and use the Soul Palace as the core to stabilize the surrounding cultivation forces."

Seeing that everyone was opposing his proposal, Su Chen was not surprised.

Soul Palace, among the big and small forces in the world of cultivating immortals, belongs to the conservative faction. The habits of the Soul Palace for many years are really running counter to it.

But they obviously misunderstood Su Chen's understanding of the word "annexation".

Su Chen smiled and said: "Don't worry, everyone, I haven't finished talking yet. The annexation I mentioned is not to use force to cleanse and suppress, but to lure them with profit."

"Incentives?"

Everyone was confused again.

Although the Soul Hall is not poor, it is not too rich. The greatest value in the Soul Hall is the sea of ​​souls. Relatively, the mastery of resources such as minerals is relatively lacking compared to other sects.

The Hall of Soul is famous for its control over the soul, and the traditional sect of cultivating immortals is still aware of it. The demand for cultivation resources is not as strong as other forces, so the development and accumulation of financial resources is not too obvious.

Besides, the natural resources of the Soul Palace are not superior to other sects. In this case, what can be used to lure the surrounding forces?

You know, Su Chen is talking about annexation.

To lure them with profit, so that the strength of the surrounding sects can actively invest in the sect of the Soul Palace, this is not something that can be achieved by ordinary interests.

Could it be that Su Chen wants to use the Xianxia faction's signature?

If the Xianxia faction is used as a bait to attract the strength of the surrounding sects, then there is a certain possibility.

After all, the Xianxia Sect is the largest sect in the surrounding area. If you can join the Xianxia Sect's alliance circle and get the protection of the Xianxia Sect, it will definitely be very attractive.

But what a huge monster the Xianxia School is, even if Su Chen has cooperated with the Xianxia School to a certain extent, it may not be so easy to use the Xianxia School's big signboard.

Besides, in this way, wouldn't the Hall of Souls also become a subsidiary of Xianxia Sect?

Isn't this putting the cart before the horse? With Su Chen's disposition, he wouldn't do such a stupid thing.

Su Chen saw that everyone was guessing, but still couldn't grasp the point, so he said directly: "In my hands, there are more than 300 billion spiritual stones in practice resources, and this number will double in the next few years. ... To put it more bluntly, I can't spend too much money now, even if I spare no effort to develop the Soul Palace itself, at most 50 billion cultivation resources are enough, and it is a waste to keep the remaining resources, so I want to make the best use of everything, use these resources, recruit talents from all sides, and quickly expand the strength of the Soul Palace."

As soon as this remark came out, the whole room was silent.

After a long while, Chief Yu Shi stammered and asked, "Xiaochen, is what you said true? Do you really have 300 billion spiritual stones for cultivation?"

"That's 300 billion, Xiaochen, you're not dreaming, are you?"

"The combined annual revenue of our Soul Palace is only one billion."

"Packing and selling the Hall of Souls, we may be able to exchange for 300 billion, but those are fixed assets, and the actual usable assets, no matter how we put them together, it is difficult to exceed 50 billion."

Hearing what everyone said, Su Chen was a little surprised.

"Hall of Soul...is it so poor?"

As soon as the words fell, everyone looked at Su Chen with complicated eyes.

Su Chen shrugged, very ashamed.

He always thought that the Soul Palace was quite rich, but he didn't expect that it was only worth five Spiritual Root Strengthening Pills when added up?

But if you think about it carefully, you will know that this is the normal situation in the world of cultivating immortals.

Resources will continue to be monopolized by the upper class.

Lingshan, the three holy sects, the nine caves, and the seventy-two mansions, this is the upper class of Lingshan.

The strength of other sects, to put it bluntly, are actually not top-notch.

In the entire Lingshan, 90% of the resources are monopolized by these upper classes.

There are countless small sects below, not to mention drinking soup, even if there are bones and scum to chew on, it is considered to be very nourishing.

This involves macro issues at the economic level, so I won't go into details.

A simple summary is that in this long-established world of cultivating immortals, the gap between the rich and the poor has reached a very terrifying level.

It's just that the world is too big. From the perspective of the bottom layer, it is difficult to see the whole picture of the whole world. There is not enough reference for comparison, so the feeling is not very obvious.

But the problem is always there.

The strong can easily monopolize a large amount of resources, while the weak can only survive in the cracks.

Su Chen himself is also an example.

The spiritual root strengthening pill is a monopoly resource.

No one else has it, only he has it.

It is very normal that a medicine pill that can be practiced at will is worth all the assets of a small sect.
