Chen Fei made a point of visiting every major shop in Qingyun Market.
The sacred lands had bought up all the Myriad Phenomena Bamboo. Not just the bamboo, either-they had purchased vast quantities of other spiritual materials as well.
By Chen Fei's estimate, the spiritual materials the sacred lands had bought were more than enough to build two towering altars.
He had no idea what had happened after the Sun Moon Realm cultivators met the Black God to make them purchase spiritual materials like this.
According to the shopkeepers, many of the spiritual materials they carried had indeed sold out.
After some time, they would restock through other channels, but the quantities would certainly be much smaller.
These major shops all had top-tier powers backing them.
Many Mountain Sea Realm cultivators left the Sacred City not only to complete assignments from the Mission Hall, but also to search the Central Continent for Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures. After all, they could hardly sit around eating through their mountains of wealth.
Not all the Myriad Phenomena Bamboo in Qingyun Market had been bought out. The sacred lands had mainly purchased from the major shops because it was simpler and more convenient.
Thus, after making a circuit of Qingyun Market, Chen Fei could still buy Myriad Phenomena Bamboo from some of the smaller shops.
However, the sacred lands' buying spree had driven up the prices of every related spiritual material in the market.
Previously, one stalk of Myriad Phenomena Bamboo cost four thousand high-grade spirit stones. Now, that had shot straight up to six thousand.
That was why Chen Fei had sighed.
Making money was difficult enough already. With the sacred lands pulling this stunt, buying Myriad Phenomena Bamboo had become even harder for him.
