Senior Brother Feng Fei's grand wedding was not just a wedding; it symbolized the unbreakable alliance between the Grand Sky Sect and Dark Rigid.
Preparations for Senior Brother Feng Fei's wedding began two months ago by the Grand Sky Sect.
The requirements were so varied that even the Grand Sky Chamber of Commerce alone couldn't handle it.
Thus, almost every major chamber of commerce across the world received procurement orders for the wedding supplies.
As the chief planner of the wedding, Chu Xinghe arrived early at Senior Brother Feng Fei's room, followed by a group of brothers from the Earth and Wood Division.
"Thank you, brothers. The Holy Maiden of Dark Rigid is of such noble status. It was my oversight, how could I let her stay in such a place? So, I ask you all to build a separate mansion for her!"
Chu Xinghe was all in today!
The Dark Moon Clan is in chaos, right?
Don't panic, even though the Dark Moon Clan earns a lot, I, Chu Xinghe, must make this wedding as grand as possible to heal my wounded heart.
"Junior Brother Xinghe... there's only three days left until the wedding. Building a mansion in this time frame is impossible... unless..."The senior brothers from the Earth and Wood Division were speechless.
Senior Brother Xinghe, do you hear what you're saying...
Building a mansion in three days is really asking for the impossible!
"Unless what?"
"Unless we consume a large amount of resources, otherwise it's absolutely impossible..."
Hearing this "unless," Chu Xinghe almost hugged the brother in gratitude.
Thank you for the idea, brother!
Consume a large amount of resources, huh?
Do it just like that!
What? Does our Grand Sky Sect lack resources?
If people heard, they'd think we don't value the Holy Maiden of Dark Rigid!
Not having a separate mansion built for her earlier was my mistake. Today, I apologize to everyone!
It's settled then!
After arranging for the brothers from the Earth and Wood Division to build a top-notch mansion at any cost within three days, a mansion as high and luxurious as possible to match Sister-in-law Jiu Li's temperament, Chu Xinghe headed to the banquet hall of Spirit Crane Palace, where presidents of various chambers of commerce were gathered.
The various materials for the wedding were prepared by these chambers of commerce.
Wei Deqian, president of the Daxing Chamber of Commerce, was the first to showcase the wedding attire they prepared for the Grand Sky Sect.
"Young Hero Xinghe, please look... this wedding attire uses snow silk as the base, adorned with 108 peerless gems, complemented by various precious treasures and..."
"Just tell me the price..." Chu Xinghe interrupted Wei Deqian's eloquent presentation.
Hearing the price, Wei Deqian broke into a cold sweat.
The wedding attire prepared for Feng Fei and Jiu Li was truly extravagant, with every conceivable luxury included, so naturally, the price was top-tier.
At this moment, hearing Chu Xinghe's firm inquiry about the price, Wei Deqian nervously replied, "Young Hero Xinghe, all the materials used for this wedding attire are top-notch, so the two outfits together cost at least 100,000 spirit stones..."
"Hiss..." Hearing this quote, the other presidents of the chambers of commerce gasped.
Two wedding outfits worth 100,000 spirit stones?
This is unprecedented.
Wedding attire is worn only on the wedding day and then becomes a collectible.
Spending 100,000 spirit stones for one day's wear is excessively extravagant, isn't it?
"Young Hero Xinghe, although the price is a bit high, I, Fatty Wei, dare not hide the fact that I'm not making a profit on this wedding attire, it's all genuine material..."
"Only 100,000? Wei Deqian, Wei Deqian, what did I tell you back then? Are these gems worthy of being called gems? What? Can't your Daxing Chamber of Commerce find Nine-colored Divine Stones? Replace all the gems with Nine-colored Divine Stones, and upgrade all the other decorative treasures by one... no... two... forget it... three levels!"
Wei Deqian: "???"
Everyone: "???"
Wei Deqian was dumbfounded. After quoting the price, he was very nervous, as 100,000 was definitely the highest price ever on the Blazing Sun Continent. Wei Deqian even stated that he couldn't make much profit from this wedding attire...
Such luxurious wedding attire would be sensational, but Chu Xinghe dismissed it as too trashy? Chu Xinghe, have you considered others' feelings when you say that?
"Fatty Wei, you said you're not making a profit? Are you insulting our Grand Sky Sect? When has our Grand Sky Sect ever bullied merchants in business? Not making a profit, recalculate and give me a new quote, including a 50% profit margin for you, as a reward for this joyous occasion."
Wei Deqian: "???"
Dumbfounded... Wei Deqian was truly dumbfounded today.
To be honest, receiving business from the Grand Sky Sect was both a joy and a pain for Wei Deqian.
Joy because business from the Grand Sky Sect is always big business, but it's painful because their money is hard to earn.
Doing business with the Grand Sky Sect means they set the price, and while they leave room for profit, it's not much.
And Fatty Wei's usual tricks to fool others can't be used on the Grand Sky Sect, let alone cutting corners.
So, making a 20% profit with the Grand Sky Sect is already a blessing.
But now, Chu Xinghe casually offers a 50% profit margin... isn't this a bit too outrageous?
In Wei Deqian's bewildered gaze, Chu Xinghe continued to inspect the other wedding attire besides that of the bride and groom.
What? You ask why there's other wedding attire?
Think about it... it's a joyous occasion... shouldn't everyone attending wear wedding attire? Shouldn't there be a set designed for each person?
So, besides the wedding attire for Feng Fei and Jiu Li, Chu Xinghe ordered wedding attire for everyone in the Grand Sky Sect, including guests and even the livestock in the barns!
By then, the entire Grand Sky Sect, inside and out, will be filled with joy, don't you think?
Regarding the wedding attire for everyone, Chu Xinghe also expressed his opinion.
Shouldn't the wedding attire be adorned with gems?
What? Fatty Wei, you say there's not enough time, and you can't find that many gems? Unless you buy them at a high price?
Fatty Wei, I'm very pleased with this "unless"... go ahead... buy them at a high price immediately, even the livestock's wedding attire can't be overlooked, what? Are the pigs of the Grand Sky Sect not worthy of being adorned with gems?
After sending off Fatty Wei, other chamber presidents also showcased their preparations one by one.
"President Xu... our wedding attire is adorned with gems, don't you think these wedding vehicles look too plain? Go back and cover the entire wedding vehicle inside and out with gems... make it shine with brilliance!"
"President Zhao, I asked you to prepare a red carpet... and this is what you give me? I didn't mean a strip on the ground, I meant covering the entire Grand Sky Sect... and use chicken blood velvet for the red carpet? How much is chicken blood velvet? Replace it all with scarlet peacock feathers!"
"What? Too short a time, impossible unless at a high price? Then what are you waiting for... go do it!"
One by one, the pre-ordered items were crazily upgraded by Chu Xinghe, and the presidents of the chambers of commerce were tearful...
Before coming here today, each of them was worried, what if Chu Xinghe wasn't satisfied? What if our quote was too high?
But now they realized, Chu Xinghe indeed wasn't satisfied, but the dissatisfaction was because it was too cheap?
Your Grand Sky Sect is wealthy, but isn't this spending a bit too insane?
After sending off one president after another, Chu Xinghe silently sighed.
This is just spending a little money... our Grand Sky Sect really doesn't care about these trivial amounts right now!
Oh, and there's the teleportation array.
A grand teleportation for ten thousand people is a massive expense, and Chu Xinghe immediately headed to the Grand Sky Palace, noticing the Deputy Sect Master looked rather dispirited.
But there was no time to inquire about the Deputy Sect Master's situation, Chu Xinghe directly stated his purpose.
The setup of this teleportation array must be handled personally by the Deputy Sect Master... what? Why not the Great Elder?
This is a wedding! Not a funeral!
Upon hearing Xinghe's request, the previously dispirited Yan Shoujing suddenly showed interest.
"Xinghe... in my opinion, the teleportation array should be built with top-grade spirit stones. Although the consumption is huge, the spiritual power of the top-grade spirit stones won't be exhausted after one use, and it would be a great way to commemorate this wedding!"
Hearing the Deputy Sect Master's suggestion, Chu Xinghe was almost moved to tears.
Deputy Sect Master! After all these days of hard work, you're the one who understands me the most.
I, Chu Xinghe, was too narrow-minded before, only thinking about the one-time consumption of the teleportation array. I never thought of your idea, Deputy Sect Master, that if we use all top-grade spirit stones, not only can we consume once, but the remaining stones can serve as souvenirs, which is a second wave of consumption!
Deputy Sect Master, you're the driving force on my path to success!
Let's do as you suggested!
And the teleportation array on Dark Rigid's side should be done the same way, all with top-grade spirit stones, what a perfect way to commemorate!
The Deputy Sect Master is truly thorough in his considerations!
With the Deputy Sect Master personally setting up the teleportation array with top-grade spirit stones, Chu Xinghe headed back to Spirit Crane Palace to find Mu Bai and the others.
As for the spiritual herbs to pave the way, it must be arranged.
What spiritual herb to use? Chu Xinghe had already decided.
Use the Ten Perfect Flowers, not only is the name auspicious, but the price is high too. Paving the way with the petals of Ten Perfect Flowers, the effect would be absolutely stunning!
After arranging the day's work, Chu Xinghe was about to take a break, but it was time for the grand lucky draw.
When four out of ten Flutes of Time and Space were drawn by Zheng Yu, Chu Xinghe was moved to tears.
Zheng Yu... what are you doing...
Is Martial Emperor City so rich? My day's expenses were almost covered by the spirit stones you invested in one go...
And the other sects... can't you all calm down?
You're all shouting about increasing your stakes tomorrow, have you considered my feelings, Chu Xinghe?
