The news of the ticket sales of the Cloudsoar Retreat spread throughout the Western Region. Like a widespread fire, everyone heard the news.
All the powerful warriors and clans were excited. For the past couple of weeks, they had been waiting patiently for the Thousand Wealth Chamber.
Finally, the just-awaited ticket sale had begun.
Quickly, everyone rushed to the Thousand Wealth Chamber to get their ticket. With the few available rooms in the cultivation tower,
Everyone knew it was first come, first serve.
To their shock, when they got to the Thousand Wealth Chamber, they realized there were only a hundred slots for sale for each week.
"This is nonsense!" A middle-aged man shouted, standing in front of the Thousand Wealth Chamber.
"Indeed! How could they only sell one hundred slots?"
"We can’t accept this!"
The crowd in front of the Thousand Wealth Chamber raised their voices in anger. However, the guards and servants did not bat an eye at them.
Seeing this, their anger increased, raising a loud commotion on the street. Yet, no one came to stop them or dared to enter the chamber.
Just when everyone thought the commotion would continue, a lady came out.
"You can continue to cause problems for the store. But know this, we will note down each of your faces and the chamber will blacklist you forever. I think that’s what you all want."
When the crowd heard this, they were quiet, fear gripping their hearts. Who would be stupid enough to want to be blacklisted?
Their previous action was just to display their unwilling emotions to the Thousand Wealth Chamber.
"Young miss, I’m the young master of the Ji clan. The one hundred slots are too little." A young handsome man said respectfully.
The lady looked at him without any change in her expression. "We at the Thousand Wealth Chamber do not care which clan you came from. If you don’t follow the rules, you will be blacklisted and might even involve your clan."
The crowd sucked in a cold breath and the Ji clan young master trembled. To implicate his clan in such an action was something he couldn’t bear.
Just thinking of it sent a cold shiver down his spine.
The young lady saw the dreadful expression on the crowd’s faces and smiled. "The Chamber understands how you feel and that’s why we made it like that. Just to give everyone a chance to cultivate in the cultivation tower."
"The hundred slots are for each city, and it first comes, first serve. In addition to that, we are selling tickets weekly."
"So next week, if you come early, you can buy the ticket."
With her explanation, a look of realization dawned on their faces. Their fear was unneeded. Although they needed to wait for a week,
At least, they knew they had a fighting chance.
"Young Miss, how much is the ticket and how much can someone buy?" An ordinary-looking woman asked.
"We have three ticket grades. Mortal, Earth, and Sky Grade. For Mortal Grade, it costs one hundred thousand lower-grade spirit stones. For the Earth Grade, one million lower-grade spirit stones, and for the Sky Grade, one thousand middle-grade spirit stones."
They sucked in a cold breath.
So expensive! They all cried in their hearts.
"Expensive, right?" The lady asked as if knowing what was going on in their minds.
The crowd looked at her but their expressions said it all.
"You’re wrong if you think like that." She sneered. "Using the Mortal Grade tower, your cultivation is ten times faster than when you cultivate with lower-grade spirit stones. For the Earth Grade, a hundred times faster, while for the Sky Grade, a thousand times faster."
"If you still think that the price is too expensive, you don’t know what you’re saying."
The crowd’s expressions changed when they heard such an insane cultivation speed. If that was true, what is a hundred thousand spirit stones?
Without waiting for them, the lady continued. "If you need spirit stones, my Thousand Wealth Chamber is recruiting a lot of workers. You just need to apply for the construction work and a hundred thousand spirit stones could be made in less than a month."
"Yes. And let me add this." Her gaze roamed the crowd for a moment. "Those who sign up for the construction would get a certain privilege to use the cultivation tower."
With that, she left and returned into the chamber while the crowd were in a stupor.
The bait had been set. It just left for the fishes to be hooked.
Quickly, the news of the construction spread throughout each city and the privileges the workers would receive.
Instantly, many powerful warriors signed up for the construction works. It was not because they were short of money, but they wanted all the privileges to have a chance in the cultivation tower.
Since the announcement of the construction work and the privilege that comes with it, Dust Valley City had received a lot of people.
Dust Valley City had been expanded under the influence of the Thousand Wealth Chamber. At the northern part of the city, massive construction was going on.
Thousands of workers were working at the same time.
Unknown to the people and the workers, they did not know they were building the first industrial factory.
While this was going on, inside the Dust Valley Sect, another massive construction was going on.
However, compared to those in Dust Valley City, this was on a low scale.
"What is the sect trying to build in this area?" A male disciple asked his friend.
"How would I know?" "I hope it will be our new living quarters."
"In your dreams." A voice came from behind them.
The two friends turned their heads and saw an inner court female disciple walking toward them.
She looked at them and said casually, "These buildings belong to the Thousand Wealth Chamber. So don’t overthink it."
"Really! Can the Thousand Wealth Chamber construct their building in the sect?"
The female disciple looked at the outer disciples as if she was looking at fools before she walked toward the ongoing construction.
The two friends wore a look of confusion when they saw the disdainful expression from their Senior Sister.
Just then, they saw her applying to work at the construction site. Not only that, they saw many inner disciples working at the construction site.
’What in the heavens is going on?!’ They cried in their hearts.
