Chapter 321: The Spirit Stone Tide Harvests the Immortal Cultivation World
Han Li and his senior brother Lu Luo from Luoyun Sect sat in a private room, watching the extremely hot auction scene in front of them and smiling bitterly.
Among the auction items that just appeared, there were several things that made him extremely excited.
For example, the silver sand that he and Ye Changsheng encountered in the Demon Valley appeared in considerable quantities at this auction, which surprised Han Li greatly.
The puppet developed by Lord Dayan, which is comparable to a cultivator in the late Nascent Soul stage, requires this kind of Gangyinsha material when refining.
Therefore, when this material came out, Han Li took action immediately and quoted several prices in succession.
Originally, he was very confident in his wealth. After all, he had 600,000 to 700,000 spirit stones in his hands.
However, when the price of this ball of silver sand was raised to more than 400,000 spirit stones, Han Li had to give up with a wry smile.
He also had to auction off a ball of Geng essence that appeared behind him, so he couldn't spare many spirit stones to buy this thing.
He also didn't want to borrow the spirit stones from Luoyun Sect directly, because before coming, Lu Luo had revealed that this time Luoyun Sect wanted to buy some things that would help break through the bottleneck of Nascent Soul, in order to assist several nephews in the sect to advance.
As a result, there would naturally not be enough spirit stones to help Han Li much.
"It seems that I have to find Senior Brother Ye. I wonder if there is anything else he needs!" Han Li thought to himself.
He knew very well that Ye Changsheng must still have a lot of precious refining materials such as Gangyinsha, otherwise he would never put these things up for auction.
In that case, just go directly to Ye Changsheng for the deal, and avoid competing with these people.
Spirit stones have never been Han Li's strong point, although the number of spirit stones he has is already a lot compared to ordinary Nascent Soul cultivators.
However, compared with those wealthy and powerful sects in Tiannan, they are still far behind.
The Luoyun Sect where he belongs is far from being comparable to the super sects in Tiannan such as Taizhen Sect and Hehuan Sect in terms of sect strength and financial resources.
Not to mention these sects, even the Ancient Sword Sect and Baiqiao Academy, which are also the three sects of Yunmeng Mountain, are much wealthier than the Luoyun Sect.
This naturally couldn't give him much help!
When the Geng Jing that Han Li had been thinking about appeared, it immediately triggered a fierce battle.
This walnut-sized piece of Gengjing was auctioned for 700,000 spirit stones and was eventually acquired by Han Li.
After getting this piece of Geng essence, Han Li felt relieved. Now he could refine a few more flying swords.
Fortunately, a lot of Geng Essence appeared at the previous trade fair of the Nine-Nation Alliance, causing the price of Geng Essence to drop slightly. Otherwise, he might not be able to get this piece this time.
"Senior Brother Ye still has a large piece of Geng Essence in his hand. It would be easy for him to help me refine a complete set of the Great Geng Sword Formation. It's a pity that I don't have anything to exchange with him!"
"I wonder if I can buy it directly with spirit stones? But to collect enough Geng Jing, it would cost at least two to three million spirit stones, and I don't have that many spirit stones!"
"Unless I sell a large amount of the spiritual medicine or pills I have made, but in that case, there will be a risk of leaking the vials!" Han Li thought to himself.
For a moment, he felt extremely regretful. He never expected that he, Han Li, would also feel poor one day.
After all, he had accumulated too little. He had entered the Nascent Soul stage just recently, unlike those old guys who had been waiting in the Nascent Soul stage for hundreds of years, each of them was worth a lot of money.
The amount of spirit stones that the sect offers to these people every year alone is nearly one million.
After Han Li took the bid for Geng Jing, he stopped moving and watched helplessly as one exciting item after another appeared at auction, but he was unable to do anything.
I had to shake my head regretfully .
At this moment, in another box of the auction, Ye Changsheng, Nangong Wan and others were sitting there, looking at the hot auction scene, and couldn't help but smile on their faces.
"Husband, I'm afraid that this time you have emptied the pockets of a large number of high-level cultivators in Tiannan!" Nangong Wan said with a smile.
"Hehe, although I squeezed a lot of spirit stones from them, they didn't suffer much loss!" Ye Changsheng said with a smile.
Until the last item was sold, Ye Changsheng did a quick calculation in his mind and realized that he had earned a full 60 million spirit stones from this auction!
Nangong Wan also calculated this number in her mind and couldn't help but smack her lips and said, "Next, these Nascent Soul cultivators will probably have to desperately mine the spiritual stone mines controlled by the sect, otherwise it will be difficult to make up for this loss."
In fact, based on the number of cultivators at various levels in Tiannan and their wealth, it is not difficult to calculate that the number of spirit stones that have been mined in the entire Tiannan is only about a few hundred million.
And Ye Changsheng directly took away 60 million in one go.
Moreover, these spirit stones in his hands will basically not be circulated anymore, but will be copied into various things.
This would probably cause a serious deflation of spirit stones in the Tiannan cultivation world.
All the major sects must work hard to dig more spirit stone mines to make up for the shortage of spirit stones.
The auction that Ye Changsheng held in Chaos Star Sea actually caused similar problems.
However, he also promptly announced the super spirit stone mine on Biling Island, and asked Xinggong and Miaoyinmen to jointly develop it.
With the reserves of that spirit stone mine, a lot of spirit stone liquidity can be injected into the Chaos Star Sea, which can greatly alleviate the spirit stone deflation.
But it is not the case in Tiannan. Tiannan does not have that kind of large-scale spirit stone mine with super reserves. After all, this is an area that has been severely developed.
If one wants to alleviate the shortage of spirit stones in Tiannan, the only way is to connect Tiannan with the outside world, connect it with places where there is no shortage of spirit stones, and let the spirit stones from there flow over.
Therefore, Ye Changsheng’s plan for Tiannan was to open the passage between it and the Chaos Star Sea.
He used the reserves of the super large spirit stone mine on Biling Island to relieve the burden on the two immortal cultivation worlds that had been plundered too harshly by him.
However, the spiritual stones mined from Biling Island still belong to Ye Changsheng's lineage.
If you want it to flow into the market, it can only be earned by other monks by purchasing their things.
Ye Changsheng used fewer spirit stones to copy things and let other cultivators buy them at high prices.
Through this method, a large number of spirit stones can be gathered in one's hands, causing spirit stone deflation.
Later, he took control of the largest spirit stone mine. Those monks who lacked spirit stones had to "work" for him if they wanted to obtain them.
The process of "working" is naturally varied, such as refining magical instruments, talismans, pills, etc., and selling them to Xinggong and Miaoyinmen.
Or hunt monsters and sell various materials and monster pills to Miaoyin Sect.
Some people who are in urgent need of spirit stones might even take out some precious ancestral items and sell them to Ye Changsheng's forces in exchange for spirit stones.
As a result, the extremely precious resources in the world of immortal cultivation were gathered in large quantities to Xinggong and Miaoyinmen.
To some extent, this can be regarded as a spiritual stone tide.
Through this tide of spiritual stones, Ye Changsheng gathered a large amount of wealth from Chaos Star Sea and Tiannan into his own hands.
In addition to himself benefiting from it, the people around him and the power he possessed also benefited greatly from it.
This is tantamount to using a clever method to harvest the immortal cultivation world in both places and serve himself and those around him.
If this continues, the other forces in Chaos Star Sea and Tiannan may become stronger in a short period of time because of the various rare resources that Ye Changsheng has provided.
But over time, they will weaken unknowingly, while the forces of Changsheng League, Xinggong, and Miaoyin Sect will quickly become stronger like a balloon.
"Wouldn't it be too cruel to the human world to do this?" Ye Changsheng thought, stroking his chin.
"Forget it, let's just plunder in the early stage. After I leave, the spirit stones in the human world will not be consumed in large quantities, and this kind of plunder will disappear. I will return to the human world later!"
"At least, when I have the ability, I can make up for the loss of the vitality of heaven and earth in the human world due to the demonic disaster, and restore this human world to normal!"
"I will do what Old Demon Han didn't do!" Ye Changsheng thought to himself.
"In the past ten years, I have consumed 20 million spirit stones for cultivation, and now I need another 40 million."
"I got 60 million from this auction. Adding the remaining 40 million, I still have 100 million spirit stones!"
"When I cultivate to the peak of the late Nascent Soul stage, I will have about 60 million spirit stones left. After that, I will have to cultivate the Nine Apertures Star Yuan Gong, which will also consume a lot of spirit stones!"
"However, the spirit stones in my hand are still enough. From now on, when I ascend to heaven, I should have no shortage of resources for cultivation!" Ye Changsheng made a rough estimate in his mind.
At the same time, Nangong Wan left the box and came to the auction table below.
The disciple of the Longevity League who originally hosted the auction had already retreated. When they saw Nangong Wan appear, those Nascent Soul cultivators felt a stir in their hearts, thinking that the climax was about to begin.
"Thank you all for coming to attend my husband's grand master's ceremony, and thank you all for coming to this auction!"
"Next, I will announce a few important things!"
As Nangong Wan finished speaking, the high-level monks pricked up their ears, waiting for her next words.
"First of all, after a friendly exchange between my husband and fellow Taoists, we all unanimously decided that the Tiannan First Trade Fair, which will be held every hundred years, will be held on the Qiling Island. There will be no rotation!"
After Nangong Wan finished speaking, all the Jindan cultivators looked at each other, while the Yuanying cultivators in the box smiled bitterly.
They really don't agree with the term "friendly exchange".
"At the same time, during this hundred years, our Immortal Alliance will hold a smaller auction every twenty-five years on the Seven Spirits Island, so that fellow Taoists can buy the precious resources they lack in a timely manner!"
Nangong Wan's words made the eyes of those Jindan cultivators light up.
Needless to say, this kind of small auction is mostly prepared for monks of their level.
At an auction like today's, most Jindan cultivators felt very aggrieved, as many things suitable for their level were also coveted by Yuanying masters.
After all, who among these Nascent Soul cultivators doesn’t have a few descendants in the Core Formation stage?
Naturally, they could not compete with these Nascent Soul cultivators, so they could only watch those things being bought away.
But in the future, this kind of small auction is estimated to attract not too many Nascent Soul cultivators, so it is more suitable for those of them who have reached the Jindan stage to perform.
Thinking of this, these Jindan cultivators secretly felt that the Changsheng Alliance really knew how to do business.
"The second thing is that the Immortal Alliance will open a store in every country in Tiannan. I hope that fellow Taoists will come to support us!"
Nangong Wan's words did not cause much surprise, as this was something most cultivators had already known.
Everyone was waiting attentively for the third thing she would say.
Everyone believed that Nangong Wan would then talk about the rumored matter of the Changsheng Alliance planning to go to another world of immortal cultivation.
Sure enough, after Nangong Wan looked around, she smiled softly and said, "I'm sure you all have heard that our Changsheng League controls a passage leading to another relatively wild and desolate world of immortal cultivation!"
"All the demon pills you have seen and the recipes for making pills with demon pills all come from that place!"
When they heard Nangong Wan admit this, there was an uproar in the auction hall, and all the high-level cultivators of Tiannan showed surprise and excitement on their faces.
Many pairs of eyes were staring at her, expecting to hear more information from her.
"That place is called Chaos Star Sea. Many things in the immortal cultivation world there are completely different from our Tiannan. Of course, you will know the specific differences later!"
"I won't say too much nonsense. I will tell you now that we, the Immortal Alliance, can send you to the Chaos Star Sea, or we can let you return here. You only need to pay a few spirit stones!"
As soon as Nangong Wan finished speaking, a burst of discussion broke out in the auction hall. Everyone was surprised that the Changsheng Alliance was so decisive in opening the channel.
Immediately, someone asked loudly: "May I ask Fairy Nangong, is it true that there are monsters everywhere in the Chaos Star Sea? And how much is your teleportation fee?"
"This fellow Daoist asked a very good question. As to what the Chaos Star Sea is like, our Immortal Alliance has produced a large number of jade slips containing some common knowledge about the Chaos Star Sea. They will be distributed to you to help you have a basic understanding of the Chaos Star Sea!"
"As for the teleportation fee, the teleportation array costs five thousand spirit stones to activate once, and can only teleport ten people at a time!" Nangong Wan said slowly.
Five thousand spirit stones for ten people, which means only five hundred spirit stones per person. This price is very fair.
Compared to the price of 30,000 spirit stones per spot for teleportation into the Demon Valley sold by the Ghost Spirit Sect, the price offered by the Longevity Alliance is really very reasonable.
Everyone immediately felt favorable towards the Immortal Alliance.
But some people immediately thought of it. Five hundred spirit stones each time, wouldn’t a round trip be one thousand spirit stones?
This is also quite painful for the Jindan cultivators.
Moreover, I have no idea what the specific situation will be like when I get there. Is it really like the rumors say, with monsters everywhere and I can pick up money at will?
