Nationwide Development: Spend Billions in Advance to Bind the Empress

Chapter 231 Cultivators' Envy: He Actually Possesses an Emperor Beast?!

Island country.

At this time, the island nation's royal family mobilized all its resources to search for powerful cultivators.

Once they encounter a powerful figure, regardless of whether he is an evil cultivator or not, they are all asked to leave.

Inside the royal palace of the island nation.

Emperor Tamura Jiro was receiving the monks who had descended from the sky with great enthusiasm:

"Rest assured, seniors! As long as you are settled within my dynasty's territory, I will do my best to fulfill any requests made by my subordinates!!"

There was no other way; in order to prevent Shen Yun from continuing to exploit the island nation, he needed to win over these cultivators!

Although these people are no match for Shen Yun's ninth-tier demon fox, don't forget that they have influence in the Xuan Tian Continent!

If Shen Yun touches upon the interests of these people and becomes their enemy.

Then Shen Yun will be marked with a red name!

While in a red-name state, not only does killing him increase the chance of obtaining treasures.

Even his linked character will become a red-named character!

The "Red Name" feature is one of the new gameplay elements introduced in this update. It is designed to prevent players from hunting down or bullying low-level Xuan Tian cultivators.

The temperament and appearance of cultivators are superior to those of ordinary people, and there's no guarantee that some perverted players won't want to do perverted things.

There are also various forms of suppression, exploitation, and bullying.

Therefore, vulnerable cultivators will have corresponding protection mechanisms. This is similar to how players also have certain protection mechanisms.

This is a method that Tamura Jiro and his ministers specifically devised to restrict Shen Yun based on this update!

"If you dare to continue plundering my Imperial Dynasty's resources, then you'll be slaughtered!" Tamura Jiro's eyes gleamed with gold.

Shen Yun's current achievements are definitely due to his association with a monstrous character, which is how he made his fortune.

As long as he doesn't want to harm the bound character, he will definitely not continue to plunder the island nation!

"Oh?" An old man in red robes glanced at the surrounding cultivators, noticing that he, being the strongest among those at the Heavenly Realm, spoke arrogantly:

"I need twenty spirit stone mines to accumulate fortune. Can you do that?"

The Heavenly Dao has indicated that this place is full of treasures; whether you absorb spirit stones or medicinal herbs, you can accumulate good fortune!

Luck is something you don't usually need, but it can always help cultivators at crucial moments!

So for them, this place is a treasure trove, and the more treasures the better!

But this heartfelt demand almost made Emperor Tamura Jiro curse:

"Damn it! You really dare to ask, you old codger!"

He was itching to slap him!

The problem is, since they've already invited such a powerful expert, a Heavenly Realm expert, he has to swallow even the worst of it.

"Rest assured, senior! We will do our best to search!"

Next came the other cultivators' demands.

Tamura Jiro accepted anything offered, including spirit stones, medicinal herbs, mountain caves, and even young boys and girls as furnaces!

Only by binding a large number of cultivators to the island nation can Shen Yun be made wary and prevent himself from getting a red name.

Many of the monks watching from inside the hall did not make any demands.

After all, they were new to this other world and didn't know many things.

However, several monks from reputable sects were somewhat suspicious of Tamura Jiro's tendency to agree to anything:

'Why is he in such a hurry for us to stay here? Is it just because we are monks?'

'Hmph! These cultivators are clearly evil cultivators! They haven't left yet; they must have secretly discussed some kind of cooperation with him. This person is not someone to be trifled with!'

'He's still the ruler of a country, bowing and scraping like this, showing no integrity whatsoever. There's no point in him staying here...'

Many people believe that they can find opportunities on their own when they go out, and do not need the help of locals.

Seeing these people turn and leave, Tamura Jiro dared not stop them and personally escorted them out of the palace.

"Please take your time, esteemed seniors! If you require anything, please let us know, and our Imperial Dynasty will certainly provide our full assistance!"

Putting everything else aside, Tamura Jiro is quite perceptive when it comes to getting things done.

"Farewell." The cultivators returned the greeting and then vanished.

suddenly!

An astonishingly demonic aura approached from afar.

"So powerful!!" The cultivators inside and outside the hall suddenly looked up and saw a white phantom coming from the distant void.

In the blink of an eye, the phantom was standing on the palace.

Upon seeing the nine tails on the fox demon's body and the iconic mark of the Heavenly Fox on its brow, a cultivator from the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion's pupils contracted:

"This! A celestial nine-tailed fox?!"

"Hiss!!!" Upon hearing this, everyone gasped.

"Emperor Beast... Heaven! A Heavenly Demon Nine-Tailed Fox?!"

"My God! A Divine Beast isn't supposed to be rare... how come there's one here?!"

"This fellow Daoist from Tianji Tower, you haven't mistaken him for someone else, have you?!" Everyone looked at the man dressed in Tianji Tower attire.

But how could the Heavenly Secrets Pavilion make a mistake?!

They asked this question because they were unwilling to accept it and because they couldn't believe it!

Because of the Nine-Tailed Fox, a celestial demon.

There's actually a man sitting here?!

It should be known that only the ancient emperors could tame imperial beasts!

But what's the situation right now?

A human boy from the wilderness is actually riding an imperial beast?!

"Absolutely no mistake!" The cultivators from the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion stared in shock at the mark between Bai Xian'er's eyebrows:

"The nine-colored lotus between its eyebrows is the symbol of the Heavenly Demon Fox Clan! No fox clan member would dare to use this to forge it!"

So, this human kid really tamed a ninth-tier imperial beast?!

"My God! He's actually riding an Imperial Beast?!" The cultivators' eyes practically popped out of their sockets with envy!

This is an imperial beast! Who wouldn't want to own one?!

'Sure enough! This place is full of treasures! Even imperial beasts can be used as mounts!' Everyone stared at Bai Xian'er and Shen Yun in disbelief.

'Damn it! If I had arrived here sooner, the Emperor Beast might have been mine!!'

"Mr. Shen..." Tamura Jiro chuckled awkwardly and cupped his hands, but was immediately interrupted by Shen Yun:

"The spiritual vein I'm looking for hasn't been found yet?"

'Hey, I was just wondering why you didn't ask!' Secretly pleased, Tamura Jiro glanced at the indifferent-looking monks around him and quickly cupped his hands in greeting:

"Mr. Shen, please rest assured, at most two..."

"no need."

His words were interrupted again, which made Tamura Jiro extremely angry!

He, the dignified emperor of the Celestial Dynasty, had never suffered such humiliation, especially in front of so many cultivators.

"Be arrogant! Your arrogance will ultimately lead to your downfall!!" Tamura Jiro, who was silently cursing, was about to say something when he heard Shen Yun's next words, and his eyes widened in shock:

"Let's use your country's national treasure as compensation."

Whoosh!

As soon as he finished speaking, the Void White Fox vanished into the depths of the palace.

"No! Mr. Shen, you mustn't!!!" Tamura Jiro exclaimed in shock, his face pale as he chased after him.

That's the lifeblood of this island nation; once it's drained, everything is over!

Some monks who planned to stay here permanently and dreamed of being treated as ancestors by Tamura Jiro couldn't help but frown:

'Once he takes it, this country's fortune and opportunities will gradually diminish...'

'But this person has a ninth-tier imperial beast backing him up; this is really troublesome!'

'Let's go see, maybe there's still room for negotiation! After all, he doesn't want to be marked with a red name.' The dozen or so cultivators exchanged glances and then disappeared.

"Let's go!" The other cultivators who were preparing to leave followed to watch the show.

It is truly rare to see an imperial beast; they are extinct even in the Xuan Tian Continent.

But when Tamura Jiro arrived outside a temple, the strong smell of blood horrified him:

"Mr. Shen, let's talk this out!"

Inside the house.

Seven royal retainers were cut in half at the waist and fell to the ground.

They glared furiously at Shen Yun, who held the Pearl of National Fortune and was absorbing its power.

"you you!!"

"Cough cough Shen Yun...stop it!!!"
