As time passed, the Immortal Fate Orders of the Feixian Sect were selling faster and faster.
Many Immortal Venerables, who initially felt the price was too high and resolutely didn't want to be 'fools', gradually changed their mindset.
Seeing so many 'traitors' choosing to purchase, their hearts grew increasingly anxious.
If you don't buy it, others will.
At this rate, it won't be long before they run out of stock.
By then, even if they want to buy one, they won't be able to.
Will they be able to ascend in the next session?
Even if they are fortunate enough to ascend, others would have already spent a hundred thousand years in the Upper Immortal Realm.
Driven by this inner turmoil, more and more Immortal Venerables chose to 'surrender'.
Those who bet against it earlier had already become a joke.
In just three months, the Immortal Fate Orders sold by the Feixian Sect surpassed ten thousand.
Moreover, there was no sign of this trend weakening.
Sects like the Celestial Phenomenon Sect, using the 'desperate measures' approach, weren't the only ones; they participated in collective purchases.
For these sects, this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to change their fate.
Many Demon Kings and Immortal Kings intending to ascend this time couldn't let go of their juniors and visited in person.
By the fourth month, the number of Immortal Fate Orders sold had soared to 150,000!
Everyone knew that the 140,000 disciples of the Feixian Sect were definitely all going to ascend.
At most, Jiang Cheng would only be selling 160,000 pieces, keeping the rest for himself.
So, they really were about to run out of stock soon!
Thus, in these last few days, the numbers reached three to four thousand daily.
Watching the bustling 'sales hall' with people coming and going, Elders Yuan He, Yuan Zhe, and others clicked their tongues.
They actually felt they had lost out.
"At this rate, even if the price increased, they would still be snapped up."
"In my opinion, even if it rose to 4 million, they still could be sold."
"Yes, if only we had set the price higher."
Sect Leader Yuan Zhen's face darkened: "We mustn't do that! It would ruin the reputation of our Feixian Sect!"
Elder Yuan Shu also nodded solemnly: "Indeed, our Ancestral Master's kindness must not be tarnished by us."
On that day, the 165,424th Immortal Fate Order was sold.
The remaining 141,497 orders matched exactly the number of Feixian Sect's current Inner and Outer Sect True Inheritors and all Elders.
The people of the Feixian Sect didn't know about the Sect Leader's promise to Xiao Kun, Jiyun, and others. They just thought this was the number left by the Elder to keep.
Thus, as they reached this number, Su Ye and Su Meng both stood up.
"Immortal Fate Orders are sold out!"
This sentence immediately made the thousand or so Immortal Venerables at the back, who hadn't bought theirs yet, jump up.
"What?"
"Sold out?"
"What should we do then?"
"Yes, I traveled across 96 Celestial Domains here just for this, and now I've come in vain?"
"Didn't you still have Immortal Fate Orders? I just saw you retrieve them!"
"Right, why aren't you selling them?"
They were already eager; now, failing to buy them, you can imagine how shattered they were.
For a moment, the hall was noisy, chaotic.
Yuan Zhen, Yuan Sheng, and others had to come to mollify them.
"Everyone!"
"Everyone, please listen to me, our Feixian Sect has 141,497 disciples, you know that."
"From the beginning, we planned to ascend as an entire Sect."
"So we have to reserve a sufficient number for ourselves, that's only human nature, right?"
"We understand your disappointment, and hope you can understand us..."
His words made sense, but the strong sense of disappointment among the crowd meant they couldn't listen.
"Sect Leader Yuan Zhen, I sold my personal Immortal Artifacts and Magical Treasures for the Immortal Fate Order!"
"I've gone all in!"
"If I can't buy it this time, how should I live after this?"
"Yes, our Jue Zhao Sect even cheaply transferred our sect's residence to others, now all 103 of us here are counting on this chance to ascend..."
"We've cut off all escape routes, if we can't buy it, we might as well be dead!"
Listening to the crowd's complaints, Yuan Zhen, Yuan Sheng, and others felt a wave of helplessness.
It wasn't us forcing you to sell your Immortal Artifacts and even your sect's residence.
Seeing them about to cause a scene, and even starting a fight, Yuan Zhen and Yuan Sheng started to panic.
The scope of this business was too big, and they couldn't maintain control.
"Quickly, invite the Elder!"
"Have him come and calm these people!"
Shortly after, Sect Leader Jiang actually arrived after hearing the news.
As soon as he appeared, the noisy Immortal Venerables instantly fell silent.
His reputation was such that in the Middle Immortal Realm, Jiang Sect Leader's name alone could stop children from crying at night, even though he usually just stayed in his hall sleeping.
"What's going on?"
Upon his question, the crowd immediately started talking again.
However, compared to earlier complaints, they were much more polite this time.
"Elder Jiang, could you be kind enough to sell one more to this old humble one..."
"Yes, if we can't buy it this time, our Jue Zhao Sect has no place to stand."
"We know you are a benevolent person, surely you won't let everyone leave empty-handed, right?"
So now he's a good person?
Brother Cheng found it amusing; he wasn't unaware of his reputation outside.
However, he originally intended to sell all of the Immortal Fate Orders.
The 140,000 plus from Feixian Sect, as well as the subordinates and juniors of Xiao Kun, Jiyun, and others, he could take up with the Xuanji Map.
So, there was no need to leave any orders; they all could be sold.
But seeing how desperate these people were, he entertained a different thought.
"You also know, my Feixian Sect has so many disciples..."
"Elder Jiang, please, sell one more!"
"I'll kowtow to you, sir!"
Thud thud thud, Brother Cheng was at a loss for words; he hadn't even finished speaking, no need for such grand gestures.
"Ah, I'm soft-hearted and can't stand seeing you in such a plight."
"Fine, let's sell a bit more then."
Everyone was overjoyed, and the hall erupted in cheers as if they had found salvation in a desperate situation.
"Thank you, Elder Jiang!"
"Elder Jiang truly is the greatest benefactor in the Middle Immortal Realm!"
"You're so considerate of us..."
One wonders what those who daily resisted and criticized Brother Cheng for being too ruthless would think if they saw this scene.
They were grateful at that!
Yuan Zhen, Yuan Shu, and others were a bit anxious.
"Ancestral Master..."
"If we sell to them, what about our own people?"
"Yes, if we sell one more, one fewer of our disciples can ascend."
Brother Cheng frowned slightly, saying earnestly: "Don't be so narrow-minded; we're all fellow cultivators in the Middle Immortal Realm."
"Letting some go to help others will elevate your own spiritual realm, right?"
"Even if our people endure some hardship, we shouldn't let everyone down."
This speech left the whole room stunned.
To reach the level of Immortal Venerable, everyone had a good head on their shoulders.
So when they heard this, they felt something was amiss.
