Chapter 109

The Great Elder said in a calm voice, "How could I not understand what you said? But if I don't try it myself, how could I give up?"

"The most profitable business in this world is to master a teleportation array, especially to master a cross-domain teleportation array. Relying on collecting road tolls is enough to earn endless wealth."

"The construction of a teleportation array is extremely difficult, and there are not many in the whole world. If our clan can master the technology to replace the teleportation array, then our clan will soar into the sky, and it is not impossible to become the strongest clan in the world because of this!"

The Great Elder revealed a fanatical look, his expression full of ambition.

The Second Elder sighed and said, "Sigh! You really dare to think. The benefits brought by the teleportation array are simply too great. Even if the Straw Gu really has the ability to carry people for long-distance teleportation, we can't keep such massive wealth."

The Great Elder turned his head to look at him and said seriously, "How could I not understand such a shallow truth that you speak of?"

"Our clan really can't keep such a big business. Even if our clan's strength expands a hundred times at this moment, we still can't keep it."

"But we can share this business with those powerful relatives. Although those relatives haven't been in contact for eight hundred years, in the face of massive benefits, it is enough to make those relatives who have long since cut off contact move toward unity again."

"At that time, it will be the great revival of our clan!"

The Great Elder's emotions were very excited, in a fanatical state.

A group of clan elders looked at each other. Long Wanli revealed a thoughtful look. After a long while, he looked at the only female Fourth Elder and said, "Long Lin, your knowledge is the most profound in the clan."

"In your opinion, if we continue to study the Straw Gu in depth and study its different evolution routes, is it possible to make it possess the ability to carry people for long-distance teleportation?"

Long Lin said quickly, "Through different evolution directions, it is entirely possible to make the Straw Gu undergo any changes, including evolving the ability to carry living creatures."

"I can only say that the ability to carry people for long-distance teleportation is possible to realize, but I cannot estimate how high this possibility is. It may be one percent, or it may be one in ten thousand. It may be researched successfully in one year, or it may not be researched successfully in a hundred years."

The Third Elder nodded and said, "As long as it is possible, no matter how low the possibility is, it is worth our clan gathering the strength of the whole clan to study it in depth."

The Fifth Elder also nodded and agreed very much, saying, "That's right. Once the ability to teleport living creatures over long distances is researched, the benefits brought will be simply too massive. It is completely worth a gamble, even if we use the resources of the whole clan to study it, we will not hesitate."

The Sixth Elder smiled and said, "Let's not talk about whether the Straw Gu can research the ability to carry people for teleportation. Even the existing ability is already worth promoting to the whole clan."

"It is no exaggeration to say that although the Straw Gu does not have much combat ability, its value is far above that of the Earth Master, and it is definitely more worthy of cultivation."

"Once every Gu cultivator in our clan has a Straw Gu, just carrying out mail delivery businesses and escort businesses is enough to bring massive income to our clan."

"The income created by the Straw Gu for our clan will be far above that fossil mine vein."

"So I suggest promoting the Straw Gu to the whole clan as quickly as possible. Let's use the old method: hold a competition with amazing rewards to stimulate the enthusiasm of the clan members to refine Straw Gu!"

"This competition will be called the House Building Competition. There are two types of events. The first event is to compare whose Straw Gu builds the most beautiful house. This is a competition held for those poor parties, after all, they don't have too many expensive materials as building materials."

"The second type of event will incorporate the practicality of the house into the standard, which requires investing a large amount of expensive building materials. Only Gu cultivators with wealthy family backgrounds can afford to play."

"In order to develop the number of Straw Gu at the fastest speed, I suggest increasing the reward mechanism. The champion will directly get twenty million in contributions, and the top fifty in the competition will all have contribution rewards."

"I don't believe that with such a large reward intensity, it still can't make everyone in the whole clan refine a Straw Gu."

Hearing this, all the clan elders nodded together. Obviously, his proposal gained everyone's approval.

"Let's do it this way. We messed up the Earth Master tug-of-war competition last time. This time, we must hold this House Building Competition well and strive to make this competition the liveliest event of the year." The Seventh Elder nodded and said.

"Hehe, you have said so much, but don't forget the main business. We came here collectively this time to grade the new exclusive Gu formula. We need to study how much contribution is most appropriate to give to the person who created the Gu formula through scoring."

"I think you have all forgotten about this." The Eighth Elder stroked his beard and smiled.

"What else is there to grade? Is there any need for grading? Just give one hundred million in contributions directly. I don't think there will be any controversy." The Ninth Elder looked at him and smiled.

At this moment, all the clan elders nodded together again. Indeed, there was no need to enter the scoring session; proceeding with this session would be a pure waste of time.

The value of the Straw Gu is not just worth one hundred million in contributions; it has already far exceeded one hundred million in contributions.

It is just that the cap for this long-term task is one hundred million in contributions; otherwise, such an awesome Gu formula wouldn't be stopped even if it were given two hundred million in contributions.

The wealth created by the Straw Gu for the clan is simply unimaginable. The annual income of the Long Clan from now on will increase by at least two times or more, and this is still in the situation where the ability to carry people for teleportation has not been researched.

This is such massive profit. The contribution made to the clan is simply too huge; no matter how high the reward is, it is not excessive.

The Long Clan is enough to soar into the sky because of this, and becoming the number one clan in the Far West is just around the corner.

All the clan elders had flushed faces at this moment, revealing excited smiles.

So the next day, a House Building Competition with terrifying rewards was officially announced in the Long Clan. This news spread to the whole clan at an astonishing speed, and everyone was boiling, all of them turning red-eyed.

The champion's reward was actually a full twenty million in contributions. Such a massive contribution value is a number that normal people can't earn even after working hard on tasks for decades.

In the face of such huge contribution rewards, everyone went crazy and flew toward the Treasure Pavilion at an astonishing speed, preparing to exchange for the new exclusive Gu formula as quickly as possible.

Especially Long Qilin, his eyes were the reddest. He was the first to rush into the Treasure Pavilion and got the Straw Gu formula in his hands at the first opportunity.

He doesn't learn from his mistakes; he actually still delusionally wants to win against Long Ziyan once and still has delusions about that championship throne. He is truly getting braver with every setback.

On this day, the Straw Gu formula spread to the hands of every Long Clan member at an astonishing speed.

After everyone got this new exclusive Gu formula, they all showed strong interest in this insect that likes to build houses.

So the trend of building houses in the Long Clan soon became prevalent, and watching insects build houses became the hobby of all Long Clan Gu cultivators.

Everyone took out various rare materials they had collected and gave them to the insects as building materials, witnessing the insects make one little house after another with different shapes, and then revealed interested expressions.

It was as if they were addicted to watching insects build houses. Many people became obsessed and actually took out very precious materials like that Great Elder to give to the insects as building materials, which was simply crazy.

At this moment, in a courtyard.

"You're crazy! Are you not living anymore!" Long Xuan's exclamation came from the courtyard.

What appeared in his line of sight was actually a little house built of top-grade spirit stones. The little house was entirely made of top-grade spirit stones of various colors, reflecting colorful light under the sunlight, which was extremely beautiful.

At this moment, this exquisite little house was already more than half built, and a Straw Gu was excitedly holding top-grade spirit stones of various attributes, patching the missing parts of the house.

Obviously, it was very satisfied with such good building materials and even had a smile on its face.

At this moment, Long Xuan was confused. Is Long Qilin crazy? He actually dared to take top-grade spirit stones to use as building materials for the Straw Gu.

How rare are top-grade spirit stones? Even he didn't have many in his hands.

Long Qilin actually dared to use them extravagantly to build a house for the Straw Gu; he is simply crazy.

For such a small little house, the construction cost is estimated to be at least tens of millions of low-grade spirit stones, right? Even one hundred million spirit stones is possible. Long Xuan felt his scalp tingle.

Crazy! Everyone is crazy!

Long Qilin's eyes were blood-colored, as if he hadn't closed his eyes for several nights. It is estimated that he had watched the Straw Gu build the house excitedly for several nights.

He had a crazy expression at this moment, licked his lips, and said excitedly, "Hehe! A house built entirely of top-grade spirit stones. Let's see who can compare with me in this House Building Competition?"

"I want to see what that Long Ziyan will use to fight me. This work of mine will definitely take first place."

Long Xuan hurriedly took a few steps back and stayed a little further away from this madman. He was already abnormal.

Looking at Long Qilin's appearance of being possessed, Long Xuan sighed. Can a top-grade spirit stone little house take first place?

As far as he knows, his Senior Sister is also crazy. She actually excitedly found a pile of century-old ice marrow from somewhere. She actually took a pile of century-old ice marrow to build a house for the Straw Gu, and finally built an ice house with an astonishing cost. She is simply crazy.

No matter how precious top-grade spirit stones are, can they be more precious than century-old ice marrow?

Long Xuan silently mourned for him.

Just in these few days, he discovered that many people were crazy. Under his Heavenly Mechanism Eye, he saw people using fourth-rank spirit cores to build houses, people using Earth-grade spirit tree branches to build houses, and people using Black Iron Essence to build houses...

All crazy, none of them are living anymore.

Long Qilin's top-grade spirit stone little house is just a small witch compared to them, okay?

He is still dreaming of taking first place; it would be difficult for him to even get into the top three.

He should just enter the poor party's track. There is no hope in the high-end game; there are simply too many crazy people in this clan.

Long Xuan didn't dare to tell him the cruel reality and finally stepped toward an ancient pavilion in the courtyard.

This pavilion is the residence of the Clan Head Long Wanli, which is why he could see the already crazy Long Qilin here.

He was summoned by the Clan Head today. If there were no accidents, the contribution value that had been delayed for so long should have come down.

Long Xuan was a little excited and came over immediately at the first opportunity.

"Knock knock!"

Long Xuan knocked on the door, and a majestic voice immediately came from inside the door.

"Come in! That fool is indeed crazy, don't worry about him!"

It seems that the conversation between the two in the courtyard just now had already been heard by the Clan Head. Long Xuan took a deep breath and pushed the door open boldly and walked in.
