Chapter 68 – Universal Acquisition of Xuantian Tokens
"Alright, I have my own decision on what level of spiritual artifact to buy. Everyone, disperse!"
"Yes, Elder!"
After everyone left, Elder Wang Yingjun slumped into his chair, his eyes vacant and lifeless for a long time.
'How did things end up like this!'
In fact, Elder Wang Yingjun had his own little scheme when he took on this task.
Because no one had ever collected all ten tokens in this event, the contribution points originally meant for buying spiritual artifacts would end up being surplus and divided among the event staff.
As the overall person in charge, Elder Wang Yingjun naturally got the largest share.
Although these contribution points weren't much for an elder, they could slightly ease his financial situation.
Who would have thought that in just a few days, so many variables would arise?
Not only did he not get the contribution points, but he also had to pay out of his own pocket.
It was truly a case of losing both the lady and the soldiers!
"Wait a minute!"
Wang Yingjun suddenly remembered something.
"Although I'm the overall person in charge of this event, I'm not the only one responsible!"
"Why should I be the only one to pay when the contribution points are insufficient?"
'And... why am I only realizing this problem now... Damn, I've been misled by that guy Wang Shuai!'
The more Wang Yingjun thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong.
"If there are surplus contribution points, everyone gets a share."
"When contribution points are insufficient, everyone should chip in, at most I pay a bit more."
"But it shouldn't be me bearing it all alone!"
Just as Wang Yingjun was about to call everyone back, he hesitated.
'I am the youngest elder in the Outer Sect, destined to reach the Body Fusion Stage and become an Inner Sect Elder in the future.'
'It's not impossible for me to become a peak master someday!'
'If I call them back now, either I'll expose my current impoverished state, or others will mistakenly think I'm stingy.'
Elder Wang Yingjun could already imagine how people would talk about him in the future.
"Don't be fooled by Wang Yingjun's glamorous appearance now; behind the scenes, he's extremely stingy."
"Oh? How so?"
"Back then, Wang Yingjun was the overall person in charge of an event. Due to his issues, the sect's budget was insufficient, and he had to use his own contribution points to fill the gap."
"It was just an Outer Sect event; even if he had to fill it, it shouldn't have been much!"
"Indeed, it wasn't much, and he was already an Outer Sect Elder at the time. Those contribution points were just a drop in the bucket for him."
"But guess what?"
"What?"
"Wang Yingjun actually made all the event staff chip in their contribution points."
"An elder making his disciples pay to fill the gap, that's just being a penny-pincher, not willing to part with a single cent!"
"Who would've thought he was that kind of person? Sigh, better stay away from him in the future!"
Thinking of this, Wang Yingjun shivered in fear, shaking his head vigorously to dispel the images from his mind.
He swallowed back the words he was about to say.
'Sigh, for the sake of my future reputation, I'll pay these contribution points myself!'
'When you have too many lice, they don't itch; when you have too much debt, you don't worry. I'll just borrow a bit more!'
Elder Wang Yingjun took out the map he had confiscated from Wang Shuai, and with a burst of fire in his hand, he turned it to ashes.
'These crooked ways are not the solution!'
Wang Yingjun lay back in his chair, closing his eyes in contemplation.
Suddenly, a flash of inspiration hit him.
'Hmm, since Xuantian Tokens can be bought and sold, why don't I find someone to purchase them?'
'Moreover, the reward spiritual artifacts are at least Xuan-grade. Even if I spend 2000 contribution points, it's a guaranteed profit.'
'This way, at least I can recover some losses.'
Wang Yingjun immediately got up and rushed out.
Although he was the event's organizer and couldn't directly participate, he had disciples.
Having his disciples purchase tokens wasn't against the rules!
...
That night, Qin Yu acquired seven Xuantian Tokens!
On the tenth day of the event, Qin Yu acquired five Xuantian Tokens!
On the eleventh day of the event, Qin Yu acquired six Xuantian Tokens!
In total, the sect had distributed 77 Xuantian Tokens.
Out of these seventy-seven tokens, Qin Yu had acquired 67, while the remaining disciples collectively held only ten.
Ever since Qin Yu started buying and selling Xuantian Tokens, inspiring others, many organizations and individuals in the sect began offering high prices to purchase tokens.
Li Zhengtong and Xiao Zhi, under Qin Yu's arrangement, each found a token, and now a large crowd gathered daily at the entrance of their Cave Abode, hoping to buy the tokens they held.
The prices offered were increasingly higher.
Currently, a single Xuantian Token had been inflated from a value of 100 points to 200 contribution points, equivalent to the price Qin Yu had sold ten tokens for.
And this price was far from reaching its peak.
Although Qin Yu had ample funds at his disposal, he did not partake in this frenzy.
It wasn't that Qin Yu looked down on these scattered tokens, but rather he had other plans.
'Let the bullets fly a little longer!'
'Soon, I'll show everyone what it means to be the mantis stalking the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind!'
