Chapter 399 Opportunity
In the temple square outside the Demon God City, Chen Jiu sat there silently, constantly raising his hands to enlighten the earth immortals and demon immortals, and the expression on his face was a little numb.
The long line between him and the two rows in front of him was so long that he couldn't see the end at a glance. He couldn't remember how long he had been enlightening, nor did he know how many earth immortals and demon immortals he had enlightened. Anyway, he planned not to stop until he finished enlightening this batch.
Unexpectedly, while he was madly enlightening people, Fox Power Tianzun suddenly flashed and appeared beside him.
At this moment, Fox Power Tianzun was also a little numb, but he was numb to the point of shock.
He clearly remembered that when he left here last time, there seemed to be only three or four thousand earth immortals and demon immortals here. However, this time when he flashed all the way here, the number of earth immortals and demon immortals he saw was more than thirty or forty thousand!
This Jiu Ye is so powerful that he has cultivated so many earth immortals and demon immortals in just over a month.
He was in a daze, but Chen Jiu smiled and stood up and said, "Master Fox, what's the matter?"
Fox Power Tianzun suddenly came to his senses and nodded repeatedly, "Yes, Master Jiu, I have something very important to discuss with you. Are you free?"
You said this is a very important matter, so I can't just ignore it even if I don't have time.
Chen Jiu nodded slightly, then waved his hand and said, "Let's go to the temple and talk."
After saying that, he flashed into the temple and appeared in front of the huge statue that was over a hundred feet tall.
This statue is not his. After all, this place is called Tongtian Taoist Temple, so the statue naturally belongs to Tongtian Patriarch.
Fox Power Heavenly Venerable also flashed in without hesitation, and then said solemnly: "Master Jiu, Xuandu Heavenly Venerable of the Hongmeng Sect has brought people to the door."
What is this guy doing in Aokifang City?
Chen Jiu couldn't help but ask curiously: " What does he want to see you about?"
Fox Power Tianzun said rather awkwardly: "He said something about giving us a chance."
Chance?
Chen Jiu couldn't help but ask in confusion: "What opportunity?"
Fox Power Heavenly Venerable sighed slightly and said, "He just wants to order a large number of immortal weapons and divine weapons from us."
A large number of immortal and divine weapons?
If we sell Qingmufang City to them, wouldn’t that be aiding the enemy?
Chen Jiu finally understood that the Hongmeng Sect wanted to give Qingmufang City a chance to choose sides, or in other words, they wanted to use this method to force Qingmufang City to turn against him or even the Tongtian Sect.
Of course, if Qingmufang City is determined not to sell, it will mean a break with Hongmeng Sect.
These guys' trick really put Aoki Fangshi in a difficult position.
Because at this moment, both he and Tongtian Sect are not ready yet. If Qingmufang City breaks off relations with Hongmeng Sect, it will be dangerous.
He thought about it carefully, then asked, "How much do they mean by a large amount?"
Fox Power Heavenly Venerable introduced in detail: "They want us to prepare 50,000 sets of immortal armor for them every month starting from next month, as well as 10,000 sets of immortal swords, spears, halberds, and shields, 5,000 sets of ordinary divine armor, and 2,500 ordinary divine swords and divine swords."
There are only 100,000 immortal artifacts in total, and he provides 120,000 of them every month. As for divine artifacts, Qingmu Market may not be able to provide so many. It would be difficult for him to refine so many in a month.
Wait, that’s not right. Why is Hongmeng Sect in such a hurry?
It's still early.
Chen Jiu was a little puzzled and said: "Aren't they planning to take action after ten years or so? Why are they in a hurry to order immortal tools and divine tools now? Can they cultivate hundreds of thousands of earth immortals and more than 100,000 true gods in the past two years?
In other words, they are not here to order these things at all, they are here to force you to choose sides or turn against each other!"
Fox Power Heavenly Venerable shook his head slightly and said, "That's not the case. The reason they are so anxious is that the prices of the immortal weapons and divine weapons in the God Realm are all rising. The immortal sword that originally cost two immortal pills has now risen to four immortal pills, and the immortal armor that originally cost three immortal pills has now risen to six immortal pills.
The price of ordinary divine armor, divine swords, and divine knives, which originally cost ten bottles of elixirs each, has now risen to twenty bottles of elixirs each. Moreover, the price is still rising. In a few years, it may increase several times. If they don’t order now, the price will rise to a sky-high level by then, and they may not be able to afford it. "
Are the prices of both immortal and divine weapons increasing?
Chen Jiu suddenly realized, "The gods in the God Realm all know that the war is about to start, so they are all buying immortal and divine weapons to protect themselves, right?"
Fox Power Heavenly Venerable nodded repeatedly and said, “Yes, it is like this before every war in the God Realm.
Originally, those idle gods did not need any immortal or divine weapons to protect themselves, and they would not spend money to buy immortal pills for fun. The immortal pills they earned were generally used for cultivation. After all, the realm of cultivation was the most important thing to them.
However, once the news of a war spreads in the God Realm, they will frantically rush to buy immortal and divine weapons, and the prices of immortal and divine weapons will skyrocket. When the war really breaks out, it may be impossible to buy them even if you spend ten or even dozens of times the price. "
Well, this is normal. When the world of gods is peaceful, those gods who practice hard do not need any immortal or divine weapons. But once a war breaks out, everything will be in chaos. If you don't have any immortal or divine weapons and you are still practicing hard, you may be killed for no reason at any time.
Chen Jiu nodded slightly, and then asked: "Then why don't you let me refine more immortal tools? I can refine them several times more."
How do you make money doing business like this?
Fox Power Heavenly Venerable could only say cryptically: "Master Jiu, things are valuable because they are rare. If we clearly state that there is no limit on the supply, the price will not go up."
Uh, okay, it would be crazy to supply unlimited quantities of immortal weapons at this time.
Chen Jiu thought about it, then asked: "What does your master mean?"
Fox Power Heavenly Venerable said solemnly: "Our master means not to refuse, but to delay as much as possible, saying that we still have to prepare well. If we can't delay any longer, then we can sell them less. Anyway, they also know that we can't refine so many artifacts in a month. As for the immortal artifacts, they don't know that you can refine them so quickly.
In short, we just try to delay it as long as possible."
Chen Jiu was puzzled and asked, "Why do they have to order from you? Don't other places have anything for sale? Aren't they in cahoots with the Western Church? Doesn't the Western Church also run a market to do business? Don't they have immortal weapons and divine weapons for sale? Also, can't they refine them themselves?"
Don't ask so many questions at once.
How do I say it?
Fox Power Heavenly Venerable thought about it carefully, and then explained one by one: "It is true that the Western Church has opened a market, but their market has only been open for tens of thousands of years, and it has just started to develop. They do not have as many weapon refiners and alchemists as we do.
It's not that they don't have immortal weapons and divine weapons for sale in their market, but the quantities are very small. They can only provide thousands of immortal weapons and a hundred or so divine weapons a month. It would take them decades to refine hundreds of thousands of them.
As for the Hongmeng Sect, they are not specialized in business, and there are even fewer alchemists and weapon refiners. It would probably take them hundreds of years to refine hundreds of thousands of pieces."
This means that the Hongmeng Sect has to force Qingmu Market to provide them with immortal and divine weapons. Otherwise, when the war breaks out, not to mention the earthly immortals, most of the true gods will probably be left empty-handed. Isn't that courting death?
The Hongmeng Sect relied on magic weapons and treasures to bully the Ape Heavenly Master in the past, so they naturally understood that they could not go into the battlefield empty-handed.
What would happen if Qingmufang Market refused to sell immortal weapons and divine weapons to others?
This is forcing them to turn hostile and take action. If they don't sell it to them, the Hongmeng Sect will definitely take action to clean up the Qingmu Market first and snatch their alchemists and weapon refiners!
Chen Jiu frowned and thought for a while, then said solemnly: "It seems that you have no choice but to sell it to them."
Fox Power Heavenly Master nodded repeatedly and said, "Yes, if we don't sell it to them, we will force them to do it. Our master just hopes that you can understand this. We can't do anything about it."
This has to be sold, what should I do?
Chen Jiu suddenly had an idea and said, "Hongmeng Sect doesn't seem to be very wealthy. Do they have many immortal pills?"
Fox Power Tianzun thought for a while, then slowly said: "Logically speaking, they should have a lot of immortal pills. After all, they have destroyed so many forces and seized such a large territory over the years.
However, they were a bit lavish when it came to spending the elixirs, as if they could spend as much as they had. Perhaps, they thought the elixirs came easily, so they didn't know how to exercise restraint.
I guess they can only come up with a few million bottles of elixirs, otherwise, they wouldn't be so anxious to order immortal and divine weapons."
This estimate is probably pretty close. If they have plenty of elixirs, why would they be in such a hurry? Even if the price of immortal weapons and divine tools increases tenfold, it would only cost a few million more bottles of elixirs. They would be so anxious only if there are not enough elixirs.
This is a good opportunity!
Chen Jiu thought about it carefully for a while after hearing this, and then he said solemnly: "Master Fox, why don't we sell less immortal weapons and divine weapons in the next two months, so that the price of immortal weapons and divine weapons can double again, and then start supplying them, what do you think?"
Two months?
Fox Power Heavenly Master was puzzled and asked, "Master Jiu, if we take our time, one or two years will definitely not be a problem, why did we sell it to them after two months?"
Chen Jiu smiled slightly and said, "Because cultivating earth immortals and true gods also requires elixirs. If we double the price of immortal tools and divine tools, the elixirs they are going to use to buy them will not be enough, and we can use up their elixirs for other purposes.
Think about it, we have used up all their immortality pills, and they don't even have enough to use, so what can they use to cultivate earth immortals and true gods?"
This move was indeed ruthless. If there were not enough elixirs, in ten years, it would be good enough for the Hongmeng Sect to cultivate hundreds of thousands of earthly immortals, let alone a true god.
Fox Power Heavenly Venerable nodded slightly, then smiled slyly and said, "In fact, we can sell less of our magic pills and magic weapons in the next two months and raise the prices. We will raise the prices of whatever those True Lords, Heavenly Venerables, and even ancestors want.
Anyway, we are not short of elixirs, so it is okay even if we don’t make any in the next few months.”
Upon hearing this, Chen Jiu couldn't help but give a thumbs up and praised: "Master Fox, you are really amazing!"
Fox Power Heavenly Venerable said excitedly: "No, no, didn't I learn all this from you, Master Jiu? In fact, we have other ways to play with them."
Upon hearing this, Chen Jiu couldn't help but ask curiously: "Oh, is there any other way?"
Fox Power Heavenly Venerable smiled slightly and said, "For example, we can buy all the immortal herbs and spiritual medicines sold by other forces, so that they don't have enough immortal herbs and spiritual medicines to make immortal pills. If they eat a bottle of immortal pills, there will be one less bottle.
Jiu Ye, how much of the magical herbs can you eat? If you can’t take it, we can buy some and store them there so that we can slowly make magical pills or sell them to you slowly.”
This is indeed possible. Originally, he didn't want to exhaust the resources and collect too much at once, which would cause the magical herbs and medicines to become less and less and unable to be supplied.
However, things are different now. He can still go to the Fusang sacred tree to crack the kingdom of God and collect magical herbs and elixirs. He is not worried about the shortage of magical herbs and elixirs in the divine world.
Now, they are going to cause the divine herbs and elixirs to be out of stock or even completely sold out in the divine world, so that the Hongmeng Sect and even the Western Sect will not have enough divine herbs and elixirs to refine elixirs.
Chen Jiu thought about it carefully, then nodded decisively and said, "Okay, we will buy all the immortal herbs and spiritual medicines sold by other forces in the God Realm from them and let them grow them themselves. I will take as much as you can buy. I will think of a way to use up these immortal herbs and spiritual medicines."
The solution he thought of was actually to refine the elixir.
Originally, they did not make elixirs themselves because they did not have enough magical herbs and elixirs. They used all of them to make magic elixirs. Now that they have extra magical herbs and elixirs, they can just make them into elixirs.
Anyway, magical herbs and elixirs are cheap, and one magical pill can buy more than ten magical herbs and elixirs. It doesn't matter even if their success rate is low at the beginning. Moreover, they don't need a magic alchemy furnace to refine magical pills. They can just use an ordinary artifact furnace. It will be very easy for them to go back to their old business of refining magical pills.
If they can produce elixirs themselves, then they will have more elixirs every month to cultivate earth immortals and true gods. Their strength is growing faster and faster, while the strength of Hongmeng Sect is growing slower and slower. As one grows stronger while the other shrinks, what good does it matter even if Hongmeng Sect gets more help?
He was just thinking about it when the Great Desolate Divine Cauldron suddenly sent a message: "Ah Jiu, where is the Soul Blood Stone? Why don't you ask? I have nothing to do."
Oh, right, the Soul Blood Stone.
Chen Jiu quickly asked, "Master Fox, how is the Soul Blood Stone that we asked you to purchase last time?"
Fox Power Tianzun couldn't help but smile and said, "Master Jiu, you are so lucky. We just happened to purchase that batch of Soul Blood Stones before the prices of things in the God Realm were about to increase. Otherwise, you would have to pay tens of thousands more bottles of immortal pills. Don't worry, the news has been passed back, and the things have been bought. They should arrive in a few days."
I'm not worried about the tens of thousands of extra bottles of elixirs. I'm just asking about the Immortal Cauldron.
