Steady Cultivation: Starting With the Perk “Work Hard, Rest Hard” Chapter 498: The Deal! Massive Harvest!

Previously on Steady Cultivation: Starting With the Perk “Work Hard, Rest Hard”...
A throng of cultivators assembled outside the Heavenly Dao Platform, their faces etched with astonishment as they observed the proceedings within. Dao Venerable Lan Si, joined by fellow newcomers Su Li, Su Qian, Yin Xing, Nangong Xianweng, and Wuzhong, fielded questions from elders like Tuota about their faction's remarkable breakthrough success. He extolled the Seven Stars Patriarch's masterful Dao guidance, lavish resources, the comprehensive Seven Stars Treasure Canon, and a secret technique that amplified comprehension by millions or even billions of times, evoking shock and envy among the listeners. Ordinary disciples, overhearing the exchange, grew eager to join the burgeoning Seven Stars Dao Palace, while Lan Si directed inquiries about the technique to Song Cai.

Song Cai's avatar was sorting through the assets of the Seven Stars Dao Palace, such as mineral veins, spirit farmlands, urban levies, and the like.

The Dao Court had bestowed vast resources upon the Seven Stars Dao Palace, encompassing even certain God Realm Seas, landmasses, and nations in the Chaos.

Should these lands and assets be developed effectively, the yields would prove extraordinarily bountiful.

He had specifically allocated a complete million avatars to manage these affairs, all while restructuring the staff of the Seven Stars Dao Palace and assuming control from Steward Wang.

Within an incredibly brief period, the Seven Stars Dao Palace operated with impeccable order, and the allocation of its ventures grew far more efficient.

Song Cai was already scheming to build initiatives such as the Miluo-Seven Stars Market and roaming trade vessels to expand dealings on a grander scale!

Right then, a transmission arrived from Lan Si, alerting him that numerous cultivators from the Miluo Dao Court sought details on the protocols for bartering comprehension aptitude improvements.

"Ah, that issue?"

Song Cai knew it well, yet he swiftly made his way to the heart of the Dao Palace and located Su Yuan.

"Patriarch, Lan Si told me that plenty of cultivators from the Miluo Dao Court desire to swap for comprehension aptitude enhancement services. I'm unsure how to arrange this?" Song Cai sought guidance.

Su Yuan parted his eyes, gazed at him, and spoke steadily, "Proceed with it based on your own notions. Deals involving comprehension aptitude enhancement are certainly viable. Beyond that, elements like Fortune, willpower, lifespan, blessings, wealth aura, Calamity Energy, and even personal Dao paths can all be exchanged! You practice the Transaction Dao Principle, and I've also handed the Transaction Scale Dao Artifact over for your oversight. Seize this chance to fully grasp the Transaction Dao Principle."

Hearing these words, Song Cai dropped to his knees at once, "Gratitude to you, Master, for your guidance! This subordinate will definitely conquer the Transaction Dao Principle and ease your loads!"

"Mmm." Su Yuan gave a nod.

The Dao Principle Song Cai pursued was none other than the Transaction Dao Principle. Through enabling deal after deal with those Dao Venerables, he stood a strong chance of advancing to become a Transaction Dao Venerable.

After departing from Su Yuan, Song Cai quickly reached the vicinity of the Heavenly Dao Platform and stepped into the Dao Venerable Pavilion.

By now, the assembly of Dao Venerables present had swelled dramatically, from more than twenty to exceeding eighty, all flocking in upon word of the developments!

The moment Song Cai appeared, the throng encircled him without delay.

Dao Venerable Tuota spoke up first, "Brother Song Cai, I've heard that comprehension aptitude enhancement effects can be traded for right here?"

Song Cai replied forthrightly, "Everyone, stay composed. As the steward for the Seven Stars Dao Venerable, I've managed such exchanges in the past. To gain comprehension aptitude enhancement, it's straightforward. Simply barter using Dao Yan Coins!"

He turned his palm and produced a token, explaining, "I possess these tokens. Later, during your cultivation, draw out the token and invoke the Dao title of the Seven Stars Dao Venerable. This links you remotely to one of the Master's thoughts. The Master will then perform a remote spell to boost your comprehension aptitude!"

He indicated the figures etched on the token.

"These show the enhancement's timeframe and its amplification factor. They're categorized into ten tiers of token quality. Select the suitable tier for your cultivation needs!"

"Take this entry-level first-tier token, for instance—it works on Dao Yan Realm cultivators, boosting comprehension aptitude by ten to a hundredfold, lasting one hundred years. It costs ten million Dao Yan Coins."

With this explanation, comprehension dawned on the group.

Tuota declared promptly, "I'll get one for a test!"

"Excellent!"

Song Cai finalized the exchange with Tuota without fuss.

Post-deal, Tuota passed the token directly to a Dao Yan Realm disciple of his, directing him to commence cultivation.

Beneath the gaze of all onlookers, that disciple started his session on the spot.

Just an hour passed before the seated disciple roused.

"How did it go?" Dao Venerable Tuota pressed urgently.

"My comprehension aptitude surged seventeen times!" the disciple exclaimed with thrill. "The cultivation boost is incredibly potent. Those stubborn bottlenecks that once baffled me are now yielding! I'm certain I'll shatter through in under fifty years!"

Observing the genuine results, excitement rippled through the crowd.

Yet Tuota held back his eagerness. He promptly withdrew ten unique resources and gave them to the disciple.

"These are items that boost comprehension aptitude either enduringly or briefly. Apply them together and check if the enhancement wanes!" Tuota urged expectantly.

The disciple complied right away.

The assembly observed with bated breath.

After half a day, the disciple had exhausted all the resources. A look of delighted shock crossed his features. Though he yearned to dive back into cultivation, he restrained himself and reported to Tuota, "Master, once my comprehension aptitude was amplified, the multiplier didn't drop—instead, it climbed to twenty-one times. Overall, my aptitude exceeds two hundred times its original level!"

This revelation prompted a collective gasp from the gathering.

What sort of arcane method was this? Utterly astounding!

All eyes turned to Song Cai, alight with fervent longing.

Song Cai acted decisively. In a flash, he called forth every avatar. Abruptly, ten thousand additional avatars materialized there.

"For those eager to trade, form lines right away!" Song Cai announced plainly.

At once, the encircling masses started queuing.

Vast queues snaked before Song Cai's ten thousand avatars!

Ten thousand queues, brimming with zealous cultivators, each set on acquiring comprehension aptitude enhancement tokens from Song Cai!

The token's inherent amplification was already staggeringly high, but its ability to layer atop other aids? That elevated it to an unparalleled pinnacle among treasures.

A multitude of cultivators engaged in trades with Song Cai.

Each deal Song Cai sealed with an individual granted him a surge of Transaction Dao Principle essence from them.

At Song Cai's core form, his command of the Transaction Dao Principle sharpened ever more profoundly!

Every participant was no less than Dao Yan Realm, including even mighty Dao Venerable figures in the exchanges.

This surpassed the ease Su Yuan enjoyed while pursuing the Transaction Dao Principle!

As the deals approached completion.

Song Cai had executed almost one hundred million trades.

Merging with Song Cai's long-built reserves from prior years, right then, his hold on the Transaction Dao Principle leaped to a profound new stage in a heartbeat!

Suddenly, across the forty-nine heavens of the Miluo Dao Court, the Transaction Dao Principle quaked entirely. Innumerable observers glanced skyward, beholding myriad strands of Transaction Dao Principle radiance funneling toward the Heavenly Dao Platform, drawn in and dominated by Song Cai!

Beholding this spectacle, the crowd froze briefly, then faces lit with enlightened awe.

A Dao Venerable displayed sheer wonder, "This can happen? Who'd have imagined we'd collectively forge a new Dao Venerable!"

Tuota also marveled aloud, "Such an approach is tough to echo. The core hurdle lies in lacking a product that compels masses to lavish most of their fortunes on it! I genuinely admire this Song Cai. The Seven Stars Dao Venerable has outright guided him to this ascension!"
