Elders, Times Have Changed!

Shi Biao first reported on the recent situation of Vast Heaven Trading Company, and said that Senior Brother Xinghe, please rest assured that Senior Brother Xinghe in Vast Heaven Trading Company has been following your ideas from beginning to end.

We are neither unscrupulous merchants nor would we dare to engage in any fraudulent activities; our primary principle is honest business practices.

No matter how big it becomes in the Future, Vast Heaven Trading Company will never change.

Shi Biao's visit to the Vast Heaven Sect was not merely to report on these insignificant achievements; his main reason for coming was the matter of the poison pills.

Recently, Vast Heaven Trading Company hasn't been doing so well in the elixir business.

There's no way around it... Mu Bai and the others are now jokingly referred to as the Spirit of the Earth.

The Mu Bai Divine Wood Clan, now travels between the Blazing Sun Continent and the Demon Star Continent.

Wherever they went, they were welcomed with open arms, regardless of whether they were good or evil, or their race.

After all, this concerns their own interests. Wherever Mu Bai and the Divine Wood Clan go, no matter what level of existence they are, they all have to put on a smiling face.

They were afraid that if they accidentally displeased Mu Bai, their cultivated spiritual fields would not meet the highest standards.

However, every gain has its loss. With Mu Bai and the others busy outside, the production of Crystal of Xinghe will naturally decrease.

Moreover, it wasn't just Mu Bai and his group; as the entire Spirit Crane Palace began refining poison pills, the production of those pills also plummeted.

For several days in a row, the number of pills transported to Vast Heaven Trading Company for sale has been decreasing, while a lot of poison pills have been arranged by the Grand Elder to be sent to Vast Heaven Trading Company for sale.

Looking at the countless poison pills, Shi Biao burst into tears. Upon asking, he learned that Senior Brother Xinghe had arranged for them to be refined.

Hearing that the poison pill was because of Senior Brother Xinghe, Shi Biao felt much more at ease.

After all, what could be wrong with Senior Brother Xinghe's decision?

However, Senior Brother Xinghe's decision was correct, but the sales of the poison pills were truly distressing.

Shi Biao kept a close eye on the sale of the poison pills every day, but the problem is, unless a normal person suffers a stroke at some point in their life, who the hell would buy poison pills for no reason?

What the heck?

You're saying these poison pills are more effective than miracle pills under certain circumstances?

Yes... that makes sense, but the question is, aren't those special cases rare?

Moreover, many of these poison pills correspond to ancient and rare poisons, which would have been lost to time by nowadays.

In this situation, tell me, who would buy these poison pills?

Therefore, over such a long period of time, apart from a very few collectors who bought some poison pills from Vast Heaven Trading Company for their own collection, no one else has ever bought poison pills.

Even under these circumstances, Shi Biao received a message from Senior Brother Xinghe just a few days ago.

Senior Brother Xinghe made Shi Biao increase the price of the poison pill tenfold without warning...

Shi Biao was completely stunned when he received this news...

Hey, Senior Brother Xinghe... are you sure it's not a tenfold reduction?

With your actions, even people who originally intended to buy it for collection are now hesitant to do so.

Who will buy these poison pills?

Just as Shi Biao was frowning deeply over these poisonous pills, early that morning...

Shi Biao inspected all the locations of Vast Heaven Trading Company as usual, and made sure there were no problems. However, when Shi Biao inspected the pill section, he was stunned by what he saw!

Good heavens... Countless people are now crowding the pill section, and what they want to buy aren't ordinary pills, they're all poison pills.

Even though the price of poison pills has increased tenfold, they are still in short supply.

As soon as it's put on the shelves, no matter the quality or price... it's guaranteed to be sold out instantly.

Moreover, the less popular the poison pill, the faster it sells. The most terrifying thing is that even the Ten Great Sects have sent people to snatch up the poison pills!

This left Shi Biao completely dumbfounded... Were these people crazy?

However, this thought only lasted for less than half a day before Shi Biao received a message from the sect.

The news of the Wuj iang Land hadn't been spread initially, but as more and more ancient poisonous creatures emerged from Wuj iang, it became impossible to keep it a secret.

Furthermore, with the Wuj iang Holy Mother personally leading many Wuj iang Zombie prodigies to the Vast Heaven Sect for help, news about the ruins naturally spread like wildfire.

Good heavens, this news has caused an uproar on all sides!

What the heck? You said those poisonous creatures are still just in Wuj iang, why do you need to buy antidote?

Young man... you have no idea how terrifying those ancient poisons are.

The most terrifying aspect of ancient poisons lies not in how deadly their venom is, but in... their value!

They're valuable!

Those ancient poisons would be extremely rare even in today's Blazing Sun Continent or Demon Star Continent.

You should know that the materials needed for various crafting techniques, alchemy, forging, and even cultivation not only require rare and precious materials, but many also require the toxins, bodies, or various other ingredients of poisonous creatures.

Regardless of whether those poisons are dangerous or not, their intrinsic value is absolutely extremely high.

The reason why many ancient martial arts techniques and classic texts cannot be practiced or used today is simple: you can't find the materials.

Therefore, almost every one of these poisonous substances is a rare material.

However, the value of materials is directly proportional to the degree of danger.

Even if you knew beforehand that the Wuj iang was a valuable poisonous creature that could be caught and sold for money, the question was, did you have the life to catch it?

It wasn't that there weren't any daring ones; some risk-taking cultivators captured ancient poisonous creatures from the Wuj iang and sold them on the spot for exorbitant prices...

When this news broke, everyone went crazy.

The problem is that directly arresting them is too dangerous, after all, even the professional poisoners in Wuj iang have been infected... who would dare to act recklessly?

But suddenly someone discovered that... the Vast Heaven Trading Company had almost all the antidotes needed for those ancient and rare poisons!

The news caused an uproar!

What the heck? You're saying the Vast Heaven Sect sells poison pills at ridiculously high prices?

Bullshit! Do you even understand the value of those ancient poisons?

Compared to the value of those ancient poisons, what difference is there between the Vast Heaven Sect practically giving them away for free?

In the past, capturing poisonous creatures to sell for money was a life-threatening endeavor. Now, you can simply buy some pills from Vast Heaven Trading Company and make a fortune. Even if you are actually poisoned, you don't need to worry about any danger to your life.

In this situation, it's a huge profit no matter how you look at it!

And this was just an ordinary Rogue Cultivator.

What the prodigies from all sides were after wasn't these ancient poisonous creatures that had escaped, but rather the ruins themselves.

Do you know what it means that the more dangerous the ruins, the greater the rewards?

Generally speaking, the danger level of a site is directly proportional to the value of its treasures.

Therefore, all the talented individuals were certain that there were definitely great treasures hidden within these ruins!

The ruins themselves are considered a treasure...

It contains too many ancient poisons, which are extremely rare. Obtaining these can unlock many previously unavailable cultivation techniques and forge many previously unattainable spiritual treasures.

That's why Vast Heaven Trading Company's poison pills sold like hotcakes...

All sides were blocking the Vast Heaven Trading Company's pill section. As soon as the poison pills were put on the shelves, they were all sold out instantly, regardless of what kind of poison they were used to cure.

The more types of poison pills you obtain, the more confident you will be when facing ancient poisons.

Who the hell would complain about having too long a life?

The more antidotes the prodigies bring, the greater their chances of entering the ruins!

"Martial Emperor City... "Zheng Yu pointed at the Grand Elder of Martial Emperor City with a look of utter disappointment and frustration.

From the moment the poison pill appeared at Vast Heaven Trading Company, Zheng Yu had people who were closely monitoring Senior Brother Xinghe and Vast Heaven Sect's every move send the news to Zheng Yu.

Zheng Yu is now incredibly wealthy and powerful.

Without hesitation, Zheng Yu immediately arranged for a large-scale purchase!

But the moment Zheng Yu issued the order, the Grand Elder of Martial Emperor City found Zheng Yu.

"Yu'er... those poison pills have suddenly increased in price tenfold. Buying them now might be a losing proposition!"

"Elder, if Senior Brother Xinghe hadn't raised the price, I wouldn't have been so sure. But since Senior Brother Xinghe did, I know I can't possibly lose this time!"

Zheng Yu's meaning was very clear: just charge!

If I don't make a killing this time, I, Zheng Yu, will pay with my head!

Others may not know Senior Brother Xinghe's methods, but don't I, Zheng Yu, the King of Ideas, understand them?

Just charge!

But Zheng Yu is Zheng Yu, and the Grand Elder of Martial Emperor City is the Grand Elder of Martial Emperor City... Although the Grand Elder outwardly says he is frantically buying according to Zheng Yu's requirements.

However, the Grand Elder of Martial Emperor City actually told his disciples not to buy a large quantity, but to buy a small amount and see how it goes.

The disciple was very obedient and, under the pretext of collecting, only bought a small portion, deciding to observe further before making a decision...

But when the news of Wuj iang came out, Zheng Yu laughed wildly and said that this had driven our Martial Emperor City crazy!

But before Zheng Yu could even celebrate for a quarter of an hour, the Grand Elder of Martial Emperor City said with a helpless expression... Yu'er... you're overthinking it...

After the Grand Elder finished recounting what had happened, Zheng Yu felt dizzy and almost died on the spot.

I, Zheng Yu, was leading our Martial Emperor City to take off... but I had barely jumped up when the Grand Elder of Martial Emperor City grabbed me and pulled me back down?

"Guards... bring me the Grand Elder... give him to me... sigh..."

Zheng Yu was so angry that tears streamed down her face.

If it weren't for the fact that the Grand Elder had dedicated his entire life to the Martial Emperor City, Zheng Yu would have suspected that the Grand Elder was a spy sent by the Demonic Sect!

At this moment, the usually dignified Grand Elder looked ashamed in front of Zheng Yu...

Before Zheng Yu could even say anything, the Grand Elder had already slapped himself several times across the face.

The Grand Elder of Martial Emperor City knew... he was truly getting old... and that he had caused a loss to the sect this time!

The Grand Elder immediately asked Cheng Xiaotian to relinquish his position as Grand Elder.

Although Cheng Xiaotian felt helpless, the Grand Elder had worked diligently for the sect all his life, so how could he possibly remove him from his position just because of this?

Therefore, Cheng Xiaotian only reduced the Grand Elder's resources for half a year. Of course, this was also a warning to the entire Martial Emperor City: from this moment on, you all had better listen to Zheng Yu's decisions and not repeat the mistakes of the Grand Elder that caused losses to the sect...

Elders, times have changed...
