Gods: Starting with the Goblins

After the Ximen family agreed to take out 600,000 spirit stones, Luo Dan smiled calmly and took back his formation. In an instant, the pressure of the barrier disappeared, and the Ximen family head and the elders were like returning from hell.

At this moment, he was still trembling with fear. After a long time of recovery, the Ximen family head said: "The 600,000 spirit stones must be presented with both hands, but it will take some time. There are only 200,000 spirit stones in the inner treasury, and the elders need to raise them."

This sentence is half true and half false. In fact, there are 400,000 spirit stones in the inner treasury, but 200,000 are used for huge family expenses, so they naturally cannot be moved, otherwise the Ximen family can declare bankruptcy within a day.

"One incense stick of time." Luo Dan said lightly, which made the Ximen family head frown. One incense stick is too urgent. Although the Ximen family has industries all over the city, it takes half a day to go to each industry to get the spirit stones back. Luo Dan must be impatient, which makes him look very embarrassed.

If Luo Dan was asked to give in again, the consequences of his anger would be immeasurable. The head of the Ximen family looked at the elder, and the elder naturally knew what he meant. So he looked at the dozen or so confused elders and waved his hand to call them over. These people did not dare to disobey.

"You are all elders in the family. You have taken away a lot of spiritual stones over the years. Now everyone must have hundreds of thousands of spiritual stones at home. I don't ask you how much you want. Each of you should take out 20,000 spiritual stones first. After the family recovers the profits from the industry, we will personally replenish you."

"Now it concerns the safety of the entire Ximen family. I hope you can weigh the importance. If anyone is still greedy for a little profit, don't blame me, the elder, for being rude. I believe you must have brought 20,000 spiritual stones with you. If you don't have any, send someone back to get them. The deadline is the cancellation time."

At the order of the elder, all the elders looked at each other. It was naturally painful to take out 20,000 spiritual stones at once. After all, their monthly salary was only a few thousand spiritual stones. 20,000 would take a whole year. The elder was vague again, saying it was a loan but it seemed like giving.

Moreover, no matter whether it is a loan or a gift, the family will definitely not give them the money, which means that once the 20,000 is taken out, there is no way to get it back. The elder has said this, and no one dares to refute it. After all, with the elder's temper, he may even expel those who are disobedient from the family.

Someone looked bitter and said helplessly: "Elder, you know that I have always been a clean-handed person. The spiritual stones in the family have been given to the younger generation for cultivation. So let alone 20,000 spiritual stones, even 200 spiritual stones are not enough. I am a loner and have no industry under my name."

"You can choose not to give it." The elder glanced at him. This person is indeed empty-handed in the family. Last year, the family gave him 10,000 spiritual stones, and then exchanged the spiritual stones for resources and sent them back to the Ximen family. It has been like this for so many years. I don’t know what I am trying to do even though I have already achieved the perfect throne.

However, the Great Elder also admired this person. He was wholeheartedly planning for the Ximen family. Unlike other elders who only cared about competing for interests, the Ximen family had already been riddled with holes and could only maintain superficial honor. Since the other party was really in trouble, the Great Elder would naturally not force anyone to take it.

Anyway, there were a total of fifteen elders. Even if five people did not take it, only ten people would take it, which would be enough for 200,000 spirit stones. Together with the 400,000 spirit stones in the inner treasury, it would just be enough to raise 600,000 spirit stones for Luo Dan. However, as soon as the Great Elder said this, it immediately caused dissatisfaction among the other elders.

"Grand Elder, are you too partial? We are all family elders, and we want each of us to take 20,000. The other party can get rid of it as long as he complains. However, each of us has difficulties. 20,000 spirit stones are not worth mentioning for the family, but it is an astronomical figure for us protectors."

"I am suffering more. I had a problem in my cultivation before, and I have to spend 2,000 spirit stones every month to buy herbs for healing. The family has not given me a cent. I am already old. I have worked hard for the family for so many years. Isn't it worth 20,000?"

"I get a monthly salary of 3,000 spirit stones, but I have 30 descendants. Every month, almost everyone can only get a few dozen. The past few years have been miserable. I just want the family to support me a little. After all, I am contributing to the continuation of the family's descendants."

There was a lot of noise, and everyone had their own dissatisfaction. In an instant, the Grand Elder Protector felt pain. Why is it like this at the critical moment? Can't we unite against the enemy and give 600,000 spirit stones first, and then the family can discuss it among themselves? When will this quarrel end?

The Great Elder also knew that these people had suffered more grievances than each other, but they had a lot of spiritual stones at home. They had dozens of businesses under their control, and collected tens of thousands of spiritual stones every month. In addition to the benefits they received from the shops along the street, each of them was extremely wealthy.

At this time, the head of the Ximen family stood up, and the elders bowed one by one: "Elders, I will not hide anything. Everyone should judge for themselves. We were defeated by Luo Dan in the previous battle. The gap in strength is too great. Luo Dan has already said that if we cannot produce 600,000 spirit stones in one stick of incense, the entire Ximen family will be destroyed."

"For the future of the Ximen family, everyone should first take out 20,000 spirit stones for emergency use. As the head of the family, I will definitely not treat you unfairly. When the profits of the family's industries are collected, I will definitely return the 20,000 spirit stones. I will use the reputation and prestige of the head of the family to guarantee it, and everyone present can testify at this time."

All the elders were silent. It was not because the head of the family said so passionately, nor was it that everyone was moved, nor did they feel a little guilty, but the head of the Ximen family said that he was defeated by Luo Dan and destroyed the entire Ximen family. This made them feel extremely panicked. Everything today was due to the Ximen family. If the Ximen family was gone, how could they act arrogantly?

Everything is seen with one's own eyes. The two heads of the family really can't do anything to Luo Dan, especially the mysterious formation just now, which isolated more than a dozen of them outside the barrier. They know nothing about the situation inside, but they can guess roughly.

The elders looked at each other and then said: "The head of the family has promised, and we are not unclear about the importance. Everyone will collect 200,000 spirit stones to help the family overcome the current crisis. I believe that the character of the head of the family and the majesty of the elder will not treat the family members unfairly."

One person took out 20,000 spirit stones, and a total of 300,000 spirit stones were collected, which was 100,000 more than expected. The head of the family took the 200,000 spirit stones he found and went to the inner storehouse to get 200,000 spirit stones. Finally, 600,000 spirit stones were collected, and the heavy heart of the Ximen head was finally relieved.

At this time, the family's internal treasury still has 200,000 spirit stones, but there is still a month before the next profit of the family industry, so these 200,000 have to support the expenses of more than a thousand people. In fact, the pressure is still quite large. After all, just the cultivation of the younger generations of the family requires resources, which costs 4,000 to 5,000 spirit stones a day.
