Land of Heavenly Secrets!

There's an old saying that goes, "If you're not handsome, you might as well die!"

At this moment, looking at the Spirit Pattern Cloth covered in flame effects, the eyes of all the disciples in the various palaces of Vast Heaven Holy Land, whether male or female, were practically glued to it.

If even Senior Brother Ma Liang could achieve this effect when he wore it, wouldn't I be able to take off like a rocket?

The scene was now in complete chaos, with countless people rushing to Ma Liang's side, touching and looking around...

Wan Lin had already surrounded the Sacred Venerable Vermilion Bird with a group of female disciples from the Hill Forest Palace.

A group of female disciples from the Hill Forest Palace fully utilized their feminine talents, each grabbing the Sacred Venerable Vermilion Bird and saying, "Sacred Venerable Vermilion Bird... of the Four Sacred Beasts, we admire you the most... so please, quickly help us make this Spirit Pattern Cloth..."

The Vermilion Bird was also dumbfounded... As a sacred beast, the Vermilion Bird's way of thinking is quite different from ordinary people... To the Vermilion Bird, aren't these flame effects completely useless?

Besides looking nice, what other use does this thing have?

But why were they so excited after watching it?

Whether Vermilion Bird understood or not was no longer important. In the following time, the Grand Elder made a decision on the spot... to entrust the matter of the flame-effect Spirit Pattern Cloth to Ma Liang.

This can also be seen as giving Ma Liang a chance to gain experience!

Everyone except Chu Xinghe nodded in agreement with the Elder's decision, indicating that the Elder was absolutely right!

After all, it's common knowledge that Ma Liang has unique methods when it comes to ripping people off!

This Flame Spirit Pattern Cloth is best suited for Ma Liang.

Although Chu Xinghe wanted to object, the problem was that he didn't dare to...

What if I object, and the Grand Elder entrusts this matter to me... Right now, we're just selling special effects and skins, but if this were handed over to me, you can't even imagine what strange things the Misfortune Compass would do...

So Chu Xinghe gritted his teeth and remained silent throughout!

After handing over the Flame Spirit Pattern Cloth to Ma Liang didn't dare to delay for a moment... He immediately summoned all the managers from various parties of the Vast Heaven Chamber of Commerce back to the Vast Heaven Holy Land to hold a meeting to discuss the operational strategy for the Flame Spirit Pattern Cloth.

When Qin Xiangqian returned to the Vast Heaven Holy Land and saw the Flame Spirit Pattern Cloth with his own eyes, his Qin Xiangqian's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets!

Good heavens, others might not know how valuable this Flame Spirit Pattern Cloth is, but how could they not know...?

On that day, Ma Liang, together with Qin Xiangqian and a group of other business geniuses, formulated the sales details for the Flame Spirit Pattern Cloth.

Therefore, Ma Liang specially invited the Sacred Venerable Vermilion Bird to participate, and during the discussion, he inquired in detail with the Sacred Venerable Vermilion Bird whether the special effects of the Flame Spirit Pattern Cloth could be changed...

However, Vermilion Bird somewhat couldn't understand Ma Liang's request to change direction.

"Ma Liang, do you mean we shouldn't be so flashy, and we should look more ordinary?"

Vermilion Bird was completely baffled... Vermilion Bird had initially thought Ma Liang wanted her to make the fire effects more spectacular, but Vermilion Bird never expected Ma Liang to have the opposite request?

Qin Xiangqian personally addressed the Sacred Venerable Vermilion Bird's doubts.

Qin Xiangqian said, "Your Sacred Venerable Vermilion Bird, you are unaware of this... Doing business is not just about products, but also about understanding and manipulating people's hearts!"

If we were to immediately offer up this top-grade Vermilion Bird Spirit Pattern Cloth, we could indeed make a fortune, but that would only be a one-off deal.

But on the contrary... let's change our approach. Let's first manufacture some of the most basic Vermilion Bird Spirit Pattern Cloth... for the first wave of sales... We'll define this first batch of Vermilion Bird Spirit Pattern Cloth as the standard quality!

Once the regular version is widely available and everyone has one, we'll immediately upgrade the special effects of the Vermilion Bird Spirit Pattern Cloth a higher level and start selling the premium version!

We're all important people here, and they've all upgraded to the rare Vermilion Bird Spirit Pattern Cloth with special effects. So, tell me, are you going to upgrade or not?

If you don't change, what makes you think you're someone of importance?

Once the rare items are widely available... we can then release epic-grade Vermilion Bird Spirit Pattern Cloth... epic-grade Vermilion Bird Spirit Pattern Cloth will have a huge improvement in both lighting effects and texture!

Furthermore, we will be selling the epic-grade Vermilion Bird Spirit Pattern Cloth for a limited time and in limited quantities... Buying it is a steal, a symbol of status!

After the Epic Vermilion Bird Spirit Pattern Cloth, there is the Legendary Vermilion Bird Spirit Pattern Cloth... and above that, there is the Prestige Vermilion Bird Spirit Pattern Cloth!

Vermilion Bird was completely bewildered after hearing Ma Liang and Qin Xiangqian's explanations...

Is this the legendary unscrupulous merchant?

No wonder they insisted on keeping the special effects simple... apparently they were planning to sell them out batch after batch!

Is this the legendary "harvesting leeks"?

Regarding the Sacred Venerable Vermilion Bird Venerable's casual remark about "harvesting leeks" (a Chinese idiom for exploiting others), Ma Liang said, "Sacred Venerable Vermilion Bird, you're wrong about that!"

Does our sale of Vermilion Bird Spirit Pattern Cloth involve absolutely no coercion or forced sales? We haven't forced anyone to buy our Vermilion Bird Spirit Pattern Cloth!

The Vermilion Bird Spirit Pattern Cloth itself is simply too attractive; they couldn't resist the temptation and chose to buy it. So how can you say it's a case of "harvesting leeks"?

Ma Liang worked through the night to compile the detailed sales plan for the Vermilion Bird Spirit Pattern Cloth he, Qin Xiangqian, and the various managers of the Vast Heaven Chamber of Commerce had developed, and sent it to the Grand Elder.

The Grand Elder looked very satisfied with the sales plan that Ma Liang had compiled!

From the standard edition to the rare edition, from the rare edition to the epic edition, from the epic edition to the legendary edition, and finally to the limited edition Prestige Edition!

The Grand Elder was extremely satisfied...

The Grand Elder originally thought we should send them to the auction house to sell. That way, they would definitely fetch a terrifying price, and might even set a record.

But after doing the math, the Grand Elder realized that his high-end, sophisticated auction strategy was on a completely different level from the slow and steady approach devised by Ma Liang and the others.

After all, when you go to an auction, no matter how high the price you get, it's a one-off deal. Even if you auction every month, how much can you really earn?

But Ma Liang's plan is rather ruthless... Ma Liang isn't planning to let anyone escape this time...

From ordinary people to bigwigs, Ma Liang is about to reap the benefits of everyone!

You're an ordinary person, right... No problem. Although our standard version of Spirit Pattern Cloth is slightly more expensive, it doesn't mean that ordinary people are completely excluded from purchasing it.

What the heck? You're saying our Vermilion Bird Spirit Pattern Cloth is all show and no substance?

You have absolutely no sense of aesthetics!

Who doesn't have a competitive spirit? Everyone around you is suddenly wearing special effects clothes with Vermilion Bird Spirit Pattern Cloth, creating a scene of sparks and lightning!

Do you feel out of place standing there? Did you buy the Vermilion Bird Spirit Pattern Cloth? You bought the right to fit into this circle!

Besides ordinary people, there are also some prodigies from small Lineage... As a prodigy, if you're wearing ordinary Vermilion Bird Spirit Pattern Cloth clothes, how can you prove you're a prodigy?

Therefore, the premium edition is the most suitable for you... Standing in a crowd, you don't even need to introduce yourself; everyone will know you're no ordinary person! After all, just one look at the lighting effects tells them you're definitely more expensive than them!

What? You're saying high-quality Vermilion Bird Spirit Pattern Cloth is more expensive?

Brother! Have you ever heard of the phrase "priceless beyond measure"?

People used to always say that something was ridiculously expensive... If I sold it to you cheaply, would you still have the nerve to say yours was ridiculously expensive?

So it's expensive, that's for sure... Because it's expensive, it can't be discussed with others... That's why its price is ineffable!

Aside from these young prodigies, what about the prodigies from powerful Lineage and influential forces... tell me, aren't you all far more valuable than those young prodigies?

Since it's prohibitively expensive, does that mean only epic-quality Vermilion Bird Spirit Pattern Cloth is worthy of your noble status?

Rest assured, our Vermilion Bird Spirit Pattern Cloth boasts unique special effects in every quality piece. In terms of sophistication, we absolutely ensure that every buyer enjoys the value they deserve!

As for geniuses like Zheng Yu and Hua Xichen, shouldn't you at least wear legendary Vermilion Bird Spirit Pattern Cloth?

If you have a seemingly ordinary divine weapon, no matter how powerful it is, it doesn't have any special effects, so you have to speak for it. But if you buy our legendary Vermilion Bird Spirit Pattern Cloth, it will speak for you. So tell me, wasn't it worth the money?

As for those limited-edition, supreme-grade Vermilion Bird Spirit Pattern Cloths... those are not something ordinary people can wear... Even if you have the money and want to buy them, you might not be able to buy them from us. Not only do you need to be rich, you also need to have the status...

This is what high-end is all about! You don't care if the high-end approach looks like you're ripping off idiots... just say it's high-end or not!

Upon hearing Ma Liang's explanations, the Grand Elder's face beamed with joy, and he immediately declared that Ma Liang's explanation was flawless!

This isn't just high-end... it's absolutely top-notch!

After gaining the Grand Elder's approval, Ma Liang immediately began implementing the tiered sales plan for the Vermilion Bird Spirit Pattern Cloth...

Looking at Ma Liang's tiered sales plan for the Vermilion Bird Spirit Pattern Cloth, Chu Xinghe burst into tears... What the hell was wrong with Ma Liang's brain?

I thought you were going to sell skins... and you just go for this high-end approach?

Others might not know if this high-end approach would be effective, but Chu Xinghe knew all too well...

This isn't just effective... it's incredibly effective!

Just as Chu Xinghe was getting teary-eyed with adorable tears from Ma Liang's sophisticated approach...

Spirit Beast Continent... the Ming Clan...

The Ming Clan's massive manor is located in the very center of the Heavenly Secrets Plain. On ordinary days, the Ming Clan's manor is bustling with activity, with countless people coming to pay their respects to the Ming Clan every day.

However, in the past few days, the Ming Clan has sealed off the entire Ming Clan manor, not allowing anyone outside the Ming Clan to set foot inside.

At this very moment, underground within the Ming Clan's manor... the Ming Clan Head, accompanied by numerous elders of the Ming Clan, stood before a bottomless black hole that had collapsed, his face beaming with excitement.

This is the secret territory of the Ming Clan, who master the Mechanical Puppet Technique within the Heavenly Secrets Art. The Ming Clan's Mechanical Puppet Technique originated from the legendary Heavenly Secrets City.

The Ming Clan also built a miniature version of the Heavenly Secrets City underground in the Ming Clan Manor so that the geniuses of the Ming Clan could enter and study there.

But just a few days ago, the moment Spirit Beast Island was incorporated into the Spirit Beast Continent, the Heavenly Secrets City beneath the Ming Clan suddenly collapsed, and the entire Heavenly Secrets City fell into an endless abyss, which is the bottomless black hole right before our eyes!

The Ming Clan Head of the Ming Clan Head arrived immediately to investigate, and through a secret technique, he saw the world beneath the black hole...

That was the legendary Land of Heavenly Secrets! The Ming Clan Head never dreamed that the legendary Land of Heavenly Secrets had always been located beneath the Ming Clan's underground!

But just as the Ming Clan Head was excitedly about to send people to explore this Land of Heavenly Secrets, he discovered that at the deepest part of this Land of Heavenly Secrets... there was an entrance that could not be seen, and inside this entrance... there was an indescribable and eerie aura!
