The easiest way to earn money was never the money earned by one's hard work, but the money in the hands of others.
And fundraising was the best way to quickly get money from others.
Of course, this method of fundraising was not something that ordinary people could use, but Su Chen was different. He had strength, background, and connections in the Eastern Fence Sea Region. It could be said that he was omnipotent. He didn't even need to show his face. As long as Kong Miaoyin opened her mouth, all the cultivators in the Eastern Fence Sea Region would definitely send money over.
Su Chen didn't even need to promise too much interest. 10% a year. It was guaranteed that those who came to send money over would fight to the death.
With Kong Miaoyin's reputation, no one would doubt that their money would not be returned.
The only problem was how to replace this money in the future.
But for Su Chen, this was not a big problem. As long as his strength recovered, making money would be a piece of cake. At worst, Su Chen could sell his blood. The Purple Phoenix did not lack money. If Su Chen dared to sell, she dared to buy.
Besides, if they successfully took down the Seven Star Sword Pavilion this time, it would also bring in a huge profit. This pirate group was filthy rich.
Su Chen suddenly became excited. He couldn't help but give Liu Yue a big hug.
"Sister Liu, you're really too smart. This is a good idea. Hurry up and draw up a fundraising document for me and set the rules in detail."
Liu Yue nodded. "Yes, Bishop. I will go now."
"Let's eat dinner first. You will have the strength to work after eating."
The next day, when Kong Miaoyin returned to the Phoenix Stage, Su Chen immediately looked for her to discuss the fundraising matter.
"Brat, do you really need so many origin nuclei?"
Su Chen nodded. "If I want to recover my strength as soon as possible, I need to absorb a huge amount of origin energy. Only by refining origin nuclei will the efficiency be the highest."
Fundraising was not a trivial matter, not to mention that the amount Su Chen wanted was so huge. It was almost as if he wanted to collect all the funds of the entire Eastern Fence Sea Region in one fell swoop. If anything went wrong, the consequences would be unimaginable.
However, Kong Miaoyin still decided to believe in Su Chen.
"Alright, I'll help you with this matter. Use my Phoenix Stage's name to publicly raise funds, and then work with the Sanctuary to publicize it. If you're in a hurry, I can organize a group of people to head to the various continents and use the Three Purities Sect's name to raise funds on the spot. In this way, we should be able to raise the thirty million origin nuclei you need within five days."
After a short pause, Kong Miaoyin continued, "Thirty million Origin Nuclei is not a small amount. After this round of fundraising, it will almost drain the entire Eastern Fence Border's cultivation world dry. Moreover, the fundraising cycle cannot exceed five years. After five years, you will need to come up with at least forty-five million Origin Nuclei, including capital and interest."
Although Su Chen had known about this long ago, when he heard the number of 45 million origin nuclei, he still couldn't help but have a slight headache.
How much blood did he have to sell to earn that much?!
Su Chen smiled and said, "Sister Miaoyin, don't worry. When the time comes, I will definitely be able to take out the money. If I really can't, then I will sell my divine tool."
"That won't be necessary. I believe in your ability."
"Then I'll have to trouble Sister Miaoyin to help me. Once you collect the origin nuclei, send them to me as soon as possible."
Kong Miaoyin unhappily poked Su Chen's forehead, "Stinking brat, you're getting more and more daring. You're even starting to order me around. In a few years, will I be your maid?"
Su Chen chuckled, "Isn't that because Sister Miaoyin loves me dearly?"
"Disgusting …"
Kong Miaoyin glared at Su Chen, then flew away.
Su Chen also returned to the Su Residence, waiting for the origin nuclei to be delivered to his door.
With Kong Miaoyin's help, Su Chen was still very relieved. Next, it would depend on whether this amount of funds could satisfy the Dao Seed. If the thirty million origin nuclei were still not enough to satisfy the Dao Seed, then it would be a bit of a loss.
That night, the first batch of origin nuclei collected from the Peacock Continent was sent to the Su Residence, totaling 2.3 million.
There were too many origin nuclei, and Su Chen's refining efficiency was a bit slow. He even invited Kong Lingxuan and Xiao Yushi over to help him refine the origin nuclei and extract the origin energy. Su Chen was only responsible for opening his stomach and frantically absorbing the origin nuclei.
The next day, the origin nuclei began to be transported from other continents. The total amount of origin nuclei on the first day exceeded eight million. The entire Su Residence was piled up with origin nuclei. Kong Lingxuan and Xiao Yushi were crazy busy. In the end, everyone in the residence came to help. Xiao Ying also brought a group of cultivators from the Phoenix Terrace to help.
The back garden had been completely razed to the ground. A thick layer of origin nuclei was piled up on the ground, and there was also the powder of origin nuclei after refining. The entire Su Residence was filled with a thick fog of origin nuclei. With just a breath, an astonishing amount of origin energy would enter the lungs.
"Not enough, not enough, still not enough!"
Su Chen's body was like a bottomless pit, madly absorbing the origin energy, leaving everyone dumbfounded.
If it were anyone else, not to mention absorbing so much origin energy in one breath, even one-tenth of it would be enough to cause their meridians to explode and die.
"Brother Chen, you're really a little monster," Kong Lingxuan couldn't help but exclaim.
Su Chen laughed. After being called a little monster, he had a new nickname.
On the third day, more than ten million origin nuclei were delivered to the Su Residence.
Under the suppression of the formation, the origin energy in the Su Residence would not leak out. However, there was so much origin energy that the entire Su Residence seemed to be shrouded in a fog. People outside could no longer see clearly.
Su Chen began to feel a little tired.
Absorbing such a huge amount of origin energy caused a great burden on his meridians. However, Su Chen would not give up. He would grit his teeth and endure.
On the fourth day, the supply of origin nuclei began to decrease. However, it still reached seven million.
Su Chen was now in a state of high pressure. All the meridians in his body were swollen, and his muscles were as tight as steel. There was even a big bump on his forehead, and the volume of his sea of consciousness had expanded more than twice as much as before.
On the fifth day!
Su Chen's body had swollen into a ball. His meridians had been stretched to the size of a thumb. He looked extremely miserable. Even the onlookers felt sorry for him. Imperial Concubine Hua's face was covered in tears. She couldn't wait to stop Su Chen.
"Almost there!"
"Almost there!"
The Dao Seed had already grown hundreds of roots. The top was beginning to germinate. This was the best sign.
Another strand of golden-purple origin energy appeared in his sea of consciousness.
Su Chen quickly manipulated this strand of origin energy into his body to strengthen his physique.
For the past few days, Su Chen had been relying on this golden-purple origin energy to prolong his life. Without it, Su Chen's body would have been torn to pieces.
"The origin nuclei are here. This is the last batch. A total of three million!"
Su Chen shouted, "That's enough. Refine the last batch of origin nuclei at full speed. I want to make the final push!"
As the origin nuclei continued to be refined, a huge amount of origin energy once again drilled into Su Chen's body.
He took a deep breath. Like a whale swallowing, he absorbed the origin energy into his body. He endured the heart-wrenching pain caused by the chaotic origin energy in his body and frantically injected it into the Dao Seed.
That's right. Previously, the Dao Seed took the initiative to absorb the origin energy. But now, Su Chen took the initiative to inject the origin energy into the Dao Seed!
"Let me ask you, are you convinced?"
"Are you convinced?"
Su Chen was determined to tame the Dao Seed!
After an unknown amount of time, Su Chen's consciousness became blurry. Just as he was about to collapse, a crisp sound suddenly came from his sea of consciousness.
Like a bean exploding, the Dao Seed shattered, and an emerald green sprout grew out of it!
Success!
