Chapter 401: Setting the Game
Patriarch Qingmu's expression became even uglier at this moment. Xuandu Tianzun's so-called giving her a chance really made her very angry.
In fact, they would face certain threats every time there was a war in the God Realm. After all, their Qingmu Market was the largest market in the God Realm and also the market with the longest operation. Everyone knew that they made a lot of elixirs, and the Hongmeng Sect naturally knew it as well.
Therefore, every time there is a war in the divine world, the Hongmeng Sect will target them.
However, they had no intention of turning against the Hongmeng Sect in the past, and they could use various means to win over the forces that would side with the Hongmeng Sect, or they could pretend to cooperate with the Hongmeng Sect to infiltrate the Hongmeng Sect and pretend to be their own people, so that the Hongmeng Sect could not turn against them.
However, this time it didn't work, because she had already seen the signs that the Hongmeng Sect wanted to swallow them up. She also knew that with the selfishness and greed of the Hongmeng Sect, they would take action against them sooner or later. So, she simply chose to strike first and cooperate with the hostile forces of the Hongmeng Sect in advance.
The Hongmeng Sect is really getting more and more arrogant. They even sent a mere Tianzun to say something to give her a chance!
She naturally knew that the other party's desire to order immortal weapons and divine weapons was not false, but what they said was clearly a warning to her or even humiliating her. They were just bullying her and she didn't dare to break up with them at this time.
"Humph, they begged me to make immortal and divine weapons for them and yet they dared to humiliate me like this. I'm afraid they are used to a good life and don't want to live a good life anymore."
Patriarch Qingmu couldn't help but snorted coldly.
Fairy Hibiscus hurried forward to comfort her master while patting his back to help him calm down.
Chen Jiu also heard that Patriarch Qingmu was indeed angry this time.
The Hongmeng Sect is so arrogant and disrespectful, which is really infuriating.
These guys are clearly asking for help, but they act so arrogantly and say they want to give Ancestor Qingmu a chance. It's so infuriating.
You are clearly giving me a chance to mess with you.
Chen Jiu thought about it, and then said carefully: "Ancestor, what do you think we should do? Should we punish them secretly?"
He actually came to discuss with Patriarch Qingmu how to set up a plan to deal with those guys from the Hongmeng Sect.
However, his tone is completely opposite to that of the Hongmeng Sect. They are arrogant and domineering, but he is quite humble.
When he said this, he was giving enough face to Ancestor Qingmu, as if he was letting Ancestor Qingmu make the decision.
After hearing this, Patriarch Qingmu naturally felt relieved.
She nodded slightly and praised: "Ajiu, I really didn't make a mistake about you. You are really good at talking. These guys from Hongmeng Sect are too arrogant. If I don't teach them a lesson, they will really think I am easy to bully."
As the saying goes, "Misfortune comes from the mouth." The more arrogant a person is, the more irritating their words are. Such people are also the easiest to irritate.
Patriarch Qingmu was obviously irritated.
Even a clay Buddha has some temper. When an honest person gets angry, he can be much more terrifying than those arrogant people.
The Hongmeng Sect really gave him a good opportunity this time.
Chen Jiu quickly followed suit and said, “Ancestor, should we secretly raise the prices of immortal weapons and divine weapons?”
Patriarch Qingmu nodded without hesitation and said, "Of course, I will raise the price of whatever they want. In the next few months, I will raise the price of those things to the sky!"
Chen Jiu said humbly, "Grandmaster, how can we raise the prices of the things they need to the sky?"
Patriarch Qingmu said fiercely: "This is simple. Not only reduce the supply by half or even to 10% or 20%, we can also let our own people secretly rush to buy, so that others can only grab a little."
My God, this move of yours is even more ruthless!
With this going on, it would be strange if the prices of those things weren't driven up to the sky.
Chen Jiu couldn't help but admire: "Ancestor, you are really amazing. I didn't think of this."
After being so subtly coaxed, Ancestor Qingmu gradually calmed down. She even smiled and said, "Ah Jiu, this still requires your cooperation. After all, it's not easy to find new faces in the God Realm, and there are many new faces in your place."
That’s true.
The earth immortals and demon immortals he cultivated were once ordinary mortals from the kingdom of gods and demons from the mortal world. Naturally, the immortals from the divine world could not know them.
Chen Jiu pondered, "It's a pity that their cultivation is too low, they are still only at the Earthly Immortal Realm. In the past few months, I can only cultivate a few demon gods and true gods. I can let them pretend to rush to buy immortal or divine tools, but if I let them rush to buy other things, it would be a bit fake."
Patriarch Qingmu still smiled and said, "Don't you still have ten True Lords? Some people may have heard of their names, but few have seen their appearances. You can ask them to change their names to something more resounding and pretend to be a newly rising force."
Yes, the ten True Lords of the Golden Turtle Island have been in seclusion for 10,000 to 20,000 years, and they were previously independent cultivators in the God Realm. All the independent cultivators who have seen them are probably dead now, so it is unlikely that anyone in the God Realm can recognize them.
Chen Jiu nodded repeatedly and said, "Grandmaster, you are really amazing. I can also equip them with magic weapons or even treasures to make them look heroic. This way, no one will think that they were originally poor casual cultivators."
Patriarch Qingmu couldn't help but praise him, "Ajiu, you are really smart. I'll leave this to you. Just let them pretend. I will have someone record all their expenses in Qingmu Market and return them to you when the time comes."
Are you returning the elixir?
Chen Jiu was a little embarrassed and said, "The things they bought should be counted as cost price. You don't have to return them all to me. I can't let you lose money."
Patriarch Qingmu nodded without hesitation and said, "Okay, Ah Jiu, you are still honest. The cost price is the cost price. I won't talk to you about this. Let's talk about something else. For example, can you really eat any amount of magical herbs?"
I have thought about this.
Chen Jiu nodded without hesitation and said, "No problem. I'll take as many as you want. Anyway, I have a lot of alchemists there. Just let them refine the elixirs freely."
Upon hearing this, Patriarch Qingmu said solemnly: "Ajiu, when it comes to this elixir, you have to be careful and don't give it away. It doesn't matter how many elixirs we have when we trade, but you must not let others get a large amount of elixirs from you, because I have to control the supply of elixirs and make the elixirs on the market less and less.
In this way, the crazy purchase of magical herbs and elixirs can have a miraculous effect. If we purchase magical herbs and elixirs while scattering magical pills, then the purchase of magical herbs and elixirs will not be very effective.
We must make the number of elixirs on the market less and less, and encourage others to desperately purchase magical herbs and elixirs to make elixirs, so that we can have a miraculous effect.
If we frantically purchase magical herbs and elixirs while continuously distributing them, it would be the same as purchasing magical herbs and elixirs for others to refine.”
Chen Jiu was surprised when he heard this: "Ancestor, can all the immortal pills on the market be controlled?"
Patriarch Qingmu said confidently: "Of course, how many immortal pills do you think there are in the God Realm? There are so many immortals in the God Realm, and the amount of immortal pills they consume in their cultivation is quite terrifying.
Just think about it, if there was no news of the war in the divine world, I wouldn't be able to sell my immortal weapons. It would be hard to sell a few immortal pills. Just think about how much immortal pills they consumed when they were practicing.
I tell you, as long as forces like you and me who can refine a large number of elixirs hold on to them and try not to release them, the elixirs in the God Realm will become less and less, and the effect will be immediate, unless all the gods stop practicing and sit at home waiting for the war to start. "
This is naturally impossible. The closer a war is to start, the more we need to find ways to improve our own strength.
Of course Chen Jiu knew how terrifying the amount of elixirs . The amount of elixirs he distributed to his subordinates for cultivation this month was in the hundreds of thousands or even millions of bottles!
How many gods does he have under his command?
There are millions of gods in the divine world, and we have no idea how many elixirs these gods consume in their daily practice.
He nodded slowly and said, "Old Ancestor, don't worry, I have no problem with this, because the elixirs I earned, apart from buying things from you, are mostly used to train my subordinates, so I won't have any elixirs flowing out.
The question is, can you hold on to this? Are you going to stop buying anything and stop doing business?"
Patriarch Qingmu smiled slightly and said, "Of course we still have to do business, but we will only buy our own products and yours, and we will stop purchasing other things. Anyway, you are not short of immortal tools and divine tools, right? I can also refine my divine robes, car frames, magic weapon skirts, and ordinary magic weapons.
It doesn’t matter if I don’t take other things, just like those valuable magic weapons and even treasures, we used to spend a lot of money to buy these things, and many weapon refiners relied on our purchases to earn immortal pills. Now that we don’t buy them, the number of immortal pills stuck is not ordinary. "
This move is indeed cruel.
It looks like it’s about the same. They’re raising the prices so crazily, and also blocking the production of a large number of elixirs. It would be strange if the Hongmeng Sect could have enough elixirs to cultivate earthly immortals and true gods.
Chen Jiu thought about it , and then asked: "Ancestor, is it almost done?"
What he meant was that he wanted to say goodbye and go back to prepare to leave.
Patriarch Qingmu was still a little unsatisfied and said, "Ajiu, don't be anxious. In fact, you can still use your expertise to drive up the prices of some things."
My specialty?
Chen Jiu couldn't help but ask curiously: "Ancestor, do I have any special skills?"
To be honest, it's not that he doesn't have any special skills, but he really doesn't have any special skills in doing business. He really can't think of any special skills that can drive up the prices of some things.
Patriarch Qingmu smiled slightly and said, "You are very good at raising prices. Little Hu Li said that you raised the prices of many items to ridiculous levels during the two auctions you attended. We also made a lot of extra elixirs because of this."
So that's it.
Chen Jiu said somewhat embarrassedly: "Well, I am just arguing with the people of Hongmeng Sect. If they don't come to argue with me, I can't raise the price of anything."
Patriarch Qingmu said confidently: "Don't worry, they will come. In about three months, it will be our annual auction. The Hongmeng Sect will definitely come, and even other forces that are in cahoots with the Hongmeng Sect will come. You will have plenty of opportunities to argue with them then."
There are still three months until Qingmufang City’s annual auction. Time flies so fast.
Chen Jiu was stunned for a moment, then nodded repeatedly and said, "Well, as long as someone argues with me, I can still raise the price of some things."
Patriarch Qingmu said with great confidence: "Okay, when the time comes, you just raise the price as much as possible. After you raise the price, we will raise the price crazily. In three months, I will raise the price of some things to the sky, and the people of Hongmeng Sect will become paupers!
By the way, aren’t you going to equip the ten newly invited True Lords with magical weapons and even treasures? Just let them keep coming to our market to buy them. I will slowly sell the purchased stocks to them, and then take the opportunity to raise the price.
In this way, we can take advantage of the situation to increase the price several times in the next two months. If the people of Hongmeng Sect don't sell some immortal pills and want to buy a large number of immortal tools and divine tools from me, it will be impossible."
My God, sometimes honest people really can’t be messed with. If they are really mad, it will be terrible.
Chen Jiu nodded repeatedly and said, "Okay, I will give them the elixir when the time comes and ask them to buy it. However, it won't be possible in the next few days. I have to go back to the mortal world first and make preparations."
Patriarch Qingmu smiled slightly and said, "It's okay. There's no need to rush these few days. We can't raise the price like crazy right after someone leaves. It's better to wait a few days before raising the price."
Then that's no problem.
Chen Jiu nodded slightly, then stood up and said, "Furong, why don't you stay here to accompany your master for a few days? I will definitely be very busy in the mortal world these days, and I won't have time to accompany you then."
He was originally planning to go back to the mortal world on the way. This time he would be very busy, so he didn't even bring Yuyi Tianzun and Yunxiao Tianzun with him, and only brought Fairy Furong to see his master.
Hearing this, Fairy Hibiscus said reluctantly, "Okay, go quickly and come back soon."
