Chapter 66 – The elder is really unlucky
The others silently watched Elder Wang Yingjun, saying nothing.
They also felt that Elder Wang Yingjun was incredibly unlucky.
The rules for past events were similar, yet there had never been any issues.
Who would have thought that on the second day of this year's event, there would be protests from the disciples, followed by the Dream Illusion Hound inexplicably entering the fray, and finally, even the buying and selling of Xuantian Tokens emerged.
It's really... sigh!
Who is it, with so many events, that insists on targeting this one?
Let's have a moment of silence for Elder Wang Yingjun!
"Say something, think of a way to resolve this," Wang Yingjun asked the crowd.
Someone hesitantly said, "Elder, there's no way to resolve this!"
"Our event rules only prohibit snatching, but they don't ban buying and selling!"
"It's all consensual among the disciples, we can't intervene!"
"Do you need to tell me that? Do you think I couldn't figure that out?"
Elder Wang Yingjun was a bit angry, the successive blows left him feeling extremely frustrated.
In recent days, Elder Wang Yingjun didn't even dare to engage in cultivation practice.
Having just failed to break through his realm, and now facing these troublesome matters, he feared that cultivation might lead him straight into a state of madness.
"In fact, this matter is quite simple to resolve."
A loud and confident voice rang out, and everyone looked over; it was the person who had proposed the key idea last time!
Elder Wang Yingjun's eyes lit up, and he said with great anticipation:
"In critical moments, we still rely on you, quickly tell us!"
The person said nonchalantly, "It's simple, since it's consensual among the disciples, we don't need to interfere."
"The only issue to resolve is the spiritual artifact problem. At the current rate of development, we might need to prepare ten spiritual artifacts to be safe."
Elder Wang Yingjun said, "Of course, I know that, but the key is how to resolve the issue of these spiritual artifacts, our event budget isn't enough!"
The budget provided by the sect was only enough to purchase two spiritual artifacts, which was far from sufficient.
The person smiled calmly, "That's easy to solve!"
Elder Wang Yingjun looked at the person's calm smile and confident words, suddenly feeling like he had met a savior.
"Quickly, tell me how to solve it!"
"Elder, you can cover the budget shortfall out of your own pocket!"
"This... you..."
Elder Wang Yingjun's vision went black, and he collapsed.
All his savings were used up during his attempt to break through to the Body Fusion Stage, and he even incurred some debt.
In recent months, the Contribution Points allocated to him by the sect were all used to pay off his debts.
He didn't even dare to accept invitations from friends to eat at the cafeteria, his mouth was practically tasteless, so how could he have money to buy artifacts out of his own pocket?
"Elder! Are you alright?"
"Quick, does anyone have a healing elixir?"
"I have one... but it's a bit expensive, I keep it for saving my life."
"Don't be stingy, the elder has money, he'll reimburse you when he wakes up."
"Maybe if the elder is in a good mood, he'll reimburse you a bit more!"
Upon hearing this, Wang Yingjun immediately opened his eyes, feeling invigorated.
The first thing he did upon waking was to loudly say, "Quick, put away your expensive elixir."
"Elder, are you alright!"
"Should I go find someone to treat you?"
Wang Yingjun quickly waved his hand, "Don't call anyone!"
"I'm fine, I suffered some internal injuries during the attempt to break through to the Body Fusion Stage, I'll be fine after some rest."
"When you all attempt to break through to the Body Fusion Stage, you'll understand how I feel now."
Upon hearing this, everyone felt a bit despondent.
Most of them might not even reach the Elemental Infant stage in their lifetime, let alone attempt the Body Fusion Stage.
Seeing the somber expressions of the crowd, Wang Yingjun felt a bit better.
With the help of others, Elder Wang Yingjun sat back in his chair.
"Um, where were we?"
"We were talking about you covering the cost of the spiritual artifacts out of your own pocket... Elder, are you alright!"
"Quick, the elixir!"
"No need, no need!"
Elder Wang Yingjun slowly circulated the spiritual energy within his body to calm his mind.
"Maybe this event has been so troubling that it's made my energy a bit unstable, I'll just have a drink of water and rest a bit."
Someone quickly brought him a cup of hot tea.
Wang Yingjun took a deep breath and slowly asked, "Besides covering the cost of the spiritual artifacts out of my own pocket, is there any other way?"
The crowd was silent, and the same loud voice said:
"Of course there is."
Wang Yingjun immediately perked up, "If you had a solution, why didn't you say so earlier, you gave me a scare."
"Tell me quickly!"
"Elder, you could use your agility to steal a few from the weapon shop!"
Wang Yingjun: "......"
"If you want to be expelled from the sect, just say so, no need to beat around the bush."
"Elder, I was just joking earlier, I have another idea."
"We'll just prepare two artifacts, and whoever has the most Xuantian Tokens, we'll reward them with it!"
Wang Yingjun puzzled, "But wouldn't that violate the event rules?"

"So what if it does, at worst we'll be criticized for a few years, at worst we'll never work as event staff again, at worst your promotion to Inner Sect Elder will be delayed a bit, I don't mind."
Everyone: "......"
Elder Wang Yingjun: "Your suggestion is great, so which weapon shop do you think I should steal from?"
