Chapter 435: Taking the Initiate (1)
 

In the third month of managing the Endless Snake Marsh, Zhu Wuyang had achieved brilliant results again.

Compared to the second month, the third month’s income rose so quickly that even Zhu Wuwan was dumbfounded.

Although Zhu Wuwan had already thought that after the restrictions on the cultivators outside were lifted, the income for the third month would definitely not be small, she still did not expect the income for the third month to reach this level.

Especially from the third month onwards, Wuyang Peak finally received a large amount of taxes. After all, many cultivators should have returned to renew their tickets or to reorganize and rest.

The ticket revenue was three billion low-grade spirit stones!

The tax was five billion low-grade spirit stones!

The various industries in Wuwan City had also brought Zhu Wuwan 800 million in income!

..

Needless to say, all the ticket revenue belonged to Zhu Wuyang and Wuyang Peak. Zhu Wuyang could take one-fifth of the five billion tax, which was one billion low-grade spirit stones. The industry in Wuyang City also belonged to Zhu Wuyang.

In total, he had earned 4.8 billion low-grade spirit stones, which had already exceeded Zhu Wuwan’s income in the Thousand Poison Sect.

Of course, this was under the condition that the cost was not removed. Even if the cost of 1.2 billion was removed, Zhu Wuyang could still earn a net profit of 3.6 billion low-grade spirit stones, which was comparable to the net profit of other industries for nearly two months.

In other words, in the third month of operating the Endless Snake Marsh, Zhu Wuyang’s net profit from all aspects was close to six billion low-grade spirit stones!

Such an income had even surpassed the income of many ancient giants.

Zhu Wuyang was so excited that he couldn’t control himself, let alone the forces of Wuyang Peak. Many cultivators of Wuyang Peak who vaguely understood the situation almost went crazy.

The morale of all the forces on Wuyang Peak rose, and what followed was the rapid expansion of their forces. A large number of neutral cultivators from Nine Dragon Mountain who knew the inside story joined Wuyang Peak one after another, wanting a share of the pie or investing in Zhu Wuyang in advance.

The Crown Prince trial, which originally took ten years to complete, was completed by Zhu Wuwan in just three months. Moreover, it was the kind that exceeded the quota.

As long as one was not blind, one could see the potential of the new policy. If nothing unexpected happened, the tax that the Endless Snake Marsh could provide to the Thousand Poison Sect this year would definitely exceed 20 billion low-grade spirit stones.

He had completed the Crown Prince trial twice as much!

Throughout the past thousand years, there had never been a legacy Crown Prince who could perform so well in the Crown Prince trial. Zhu Wuyang could be said to have once again created a new record.

When Wan’an Peak handed over the taxes that belonged to the sect for this month, many of the upper echelons of the Ten Thousand Poisons Sect were also flabbergasted. They could not believe their eyes.

The first thing they thought was that Zhu Wuwan might have cheated. In order to complete the mission and prove her ability to the upper echelons of the Ten Thousand Poisons Sect, she had paid the tax herself. Otherwise, how could the Endless Snake Marsh have so much tax this month?

However, they soon received news that the tax of four billion low-grade spirit stones might seem like a lot, but compared to Zhu Wuwan’s income this month, it was nothing.

This was because in the third month of Zhu Wuyan’s management of the Endless Snake Marsh, the income she earned from collecting tickets and operating the business should not be much worse than taxes.

In addition to the one-fifth of the benefits from the tax, Zhu Wuyang’s income this month was even higher than the tax.

Four billion yuan in taxes might seem like a lot, but the entire Ten Thousand Poisons Sect would have to share the profits. Of course, Nine Dragon Mountain would take the bulk of it.

However, all the income that Zhu Wanhao received was her own and she didn’t have to share it with anyone. Just thinking about it made many of the Ten Thousand Poison Sect’s ancient giants feel a headache.

Even though they had thought that the New Deal would be effective, these ancient tycoons had never thought that the effect of the New Deal would be so good.

The new policies implemented by Zhu Wuwan in the Endless Snake Marsh were already recognized as the new policies of Wuwan, and they were firmly imprinted with Zhu Wuwan’s mark.

After earning so much in just two months, Zhu Wuwan naturally would not keep it for laying eggs. Instead, she spent a large amount of her income to buy all kinds of natural treasures, spirit pills, and waste pills…They even held events like the Olympics and the National Games to earn breakthrough stones.

Putting aside the income from natural treasures, elixirs, and other aspects, just Zhu Wuwan’s gains from some special events had already reached the level of hundreds of millions of breakthrough stones.

With the help of these Breakthrough Stones, Zhu Wuwan’s strength was steadily improving. The number of Exterior stars had already reached two, pushing Zhu Wuwan’s combat power to the Late Divine Transformation Realm, close to the Great Circle of the Divine Transformation Realm.

The Thousand Poison Technique had reached the eighth level and was only two levels away from perfection. He had absorbed and fused 800 types of poison. Unfortunately, the mixed poison in his body was still the fifth-level Zhu Wuwan’s mixed poison. There was basically no possibility of breaking through to the sixth-level mixed poison.

The power of all kinds of immortal techniques and spells had also increased by a level. Unfortunately, there was still a long way to go before they transformed.

Everything was developing steadily, and the influence of Wu Yang Peak was expanding even more. If nothing unexpected happened, it would be able to catch up with the other two Nine Dragon Princes in a few years.

The Endless Underground Palace was also being managed better and better by Zhu Wuyan. In other words, it was getting stronger and stronger, so they didn’t have to worry about enemies sneaking in easily.

Although the Medicine God Sect and the Sacred Flame Sect had not sent any spies or assassins to deal with him during this period of time, Zhu Wuwan knew very well that it was not that the Medicine God Sect and the Sacred Flame Sect had given up on dealing with him, but that the other party was preparing a killing move.

Of course, it was also because a large number of spies and traitors from the Medicine God Sect and the Sacred Flame Sect had been found out by the Thousand Poisons Sect in the past few months. They had even caught more spies and traitors by following the clues, causing the Medicine God Sect and the Sacred Flame Sect to suffer heavy losses. It could be said that the hard work of one to two hundred years had been in vain.

Needless to say, this was naturally Zhu Wuwan’s doing. These spies and traitors that were caught were basically on the list that Zhu Wuwan had handed to Cai Chaoan.

The Medicine God Sect and the Sacred Flame Sect were also a little overwhelmed, so it was normal for them to ignore Zhu Wuwan for the time being.

It was just that even Zhu Wuan himself was a little stunned by the results he had achieved in the past few months. He felt that it was a little too exaggerated, let alone the Medicine God Sect and the Sacred Flame Sect. Even if they were in a very passive position now, the assassins from the Medicine God Sect and the Sacred Flame Sect should be here soon.

As for Zhu Wuyang and Shu Fanruo, although the two of them were still mortal enemies (at least that was what Shu Fanruo said), because they had targeted each other many times, they had some mutual understanding. Every time they harmed each other’s subordinates, they would discuss it to prevent an irreparable situation from happening.

The cultivators of the Village of Fragrance and the Unharmed City were also considered unlucky. They would get injured from time to time. Now, the cultivators under the two of them were eager to go out to work so that they would not be accidentally injured again.

Shu Fanruo had played an important role in the reason why the cultivators of the Unharmed City were able to gather information on more than half of the Endless Snake Marsh in such a short period of time.

Zhu Wuyang really wanted to find a chance to thank Shu Fanruo properly. Unfortunately, after being tricked by him a few times, Shu Fanruo learned to be smart and basically wouldn’t give him another chance.

However, what Zhu Wanhao did not expect was that when he returned to the secret hall of Worryfree Underground that night, he saw Shu Fanruo sitting on his bed, staring at him with a complicated expression.

What’s going on? Could it be that Shu Fanruo missed her after not being happy for so long?

Zhu Wuyang’s spirits were lifted, and she quickly walked towards Shu Fanruo, preparing to press her down on the bed.
