War Profiteering

Since Zhao Siyao is in retreat, Lan Chang'an did not visit this time.

After leaving Golden Cloud Valley.

Lan Chang'an did not return Wuqi Mountain immediately.

He planned to visit the surrounding Marketplace and Immortal City to see if he could purchase some relatively low-cost materials.

The middle and lower levels of Cultivation World basically didn't know about the news about the sect's expedition.

Previously, even some senior officials were not sure.

At present, the growth rate of materials is not that exaggerated, and there is still some room for profit.

The first stop Lan Chang'an went to was "Five Peaks Market" in the south of Golden Cloud Valley.

Back then, Lan Chang'an took Li Erqing to listen to music at Five Peaks Market's "Hundred Fragrance Immortal Pavilion", including helping Zhao Siyao repair High-Grade Magic Item.

The scale of Marketplace is relatively larger than Immortal City.

Lan Chang'an uses the identity of an ordinary young man named "Hundred Illusion Mask". On this basis, he slightly adjusts his disguise to add an extra layer of identity disguise.

Maintain Foundation Establishment Middle Stage's cultivation and receive VIP-level treatment in Five Peaks Market's large stores.

After half a day.

Lan Chang'an scanned a batch of goods, mainly materials from Talisman, elixirs, and Puppet.

The price increase for materials is not small, but not as high as for finished products.

The supply of various war preparation materials exceeds the demand, and they are also restricted by craftsmen, especially high-quality ones.

Prices are transmitted to materials with a slight lag.

When the news of the war is confirmed and materials become scarce, prices will definitely rise sharply.

During the scanning period, Lan Chang'an also visited Five Peaks Market's "Spirit Medicine Pavilion".

Back then, when Five Peaks Market came to Five Peaks Market for the first time, Lan Chang'an was secretly followed by the shopkeeper of the Spirit Medicine Pavilion, and was later frightened away by Divine Sense's message.

After all these years, the shopkeeper was not promoted to the Foundation Establishment Realm and died long ago.

After inquiring, it was found that among his descendants, there was monk Qi Refining Late-Stage who worked as a pharmacist in the Spirit Medicine Pavilion.

Lan Chang'an is not so small-minded.

There is no need to take revenge on his descendants or Spirit Medicine Pavilion for a trivial matter over time.

That's too much fuss.

After all, the shopkeeper back then just kept an eye on him and didn't take any action.

Lan Chang'an left half a day ago.

An interesting story came from Five Peaks Market.

It is said that several of the precious medicinal materials stored by the Spirit Medicine Pavilion were lost inexplicably, and the loss was considerable, causing the owner to become furious.

There were extremely fine residues left at the scene, which were suspected to have been sneaked in and eaten by mysterious spiritual beasts.

Five Peaks Market, two thousand miles away.

Lan Chang'an glanced at Spirit Pet Bag while flying.

An orange-purple Rat Demon with a bulging belly was burping, stretching its limbs lazily, and lying in Spirit Pet Bag.

Lan Chang'an smiled, Earth Rock Rat The precious medicinal herbs I have taken in the past few years are not as much as I take in one day.

Ten days later.

Lan Chang'an arrives at Bauhinia Immortal City on the west side of Golden Cloud Valley.

This Immortal City is close to the border of the Liang Kingdom and has business dealings with "Jing Kingdom" of Western Region.

Jing Kingdom is just a small immortal cultivating country, Spirit Vein has poor resources, and the strongest cultivating force is Golden Core sect.

The country is adjacent to the Black Mist Mountain Range branch in the north, between the Chen Kingdom and Liang Kingdom.

Bauhinia Immortal City, although the geographical location is remote, the value of the materials is slightly higher than Five Peaks Market.

Lan Chang'an speculates that there are many powerful people in Immortal City, and they have a keener sense of smell for news.

The top executives of some chambers of commerce may have some information, but they may not dare to make big bets.

Once Feng Kingdom's battle situation changes, or if Liang Kingdom's top bosses give up their ideas and invest too much, they may lose everything.

After purchasing Bauhinia Immortal City.

Director Lu flew to Liaoyuan Immortal City and stopped at the Jade Moon Lake Mu Family on the way.

Mu Family, Lan Chang'an met Li Erqing and Mu Bingyun.

After not seeing each other for many years, Mu Bingyun has matured a lot. He looks to be in his mid-twenties and mid-twenties, and he has the confident demeanor of the ancestor Lineage and the female cultivator Foundation Establishment.

In recent years, Mu Family has developed well, and its industry has expanded steadily. Several stores have been opened in Bamboo Leaf Mountain, Five Peaks Mountain, and Yellow Dragon Immortal City.

As for the reason for the increase in supplies, Lan Chang'an gave a hint to the two of them but did not elaborate.

Before leaving.

Mu Bingyun sent a message and wanted to talk to Lan Chang'an alone to ask for advice on spiritual practice and drawing talismans.

Lan Chang'an took a look at this graceful, jade-like, slender female cultivator in a green skirt. Expectation, reverence, and a hint of obscure emotion filled her starry eyes.

Lan Chang'an declined Mu Bingyun's request to speak alone because he was busy.

Jade Moon Lake side.

Mu Bingyun stood there, looking slightly disappointed, watching the man in white go away.

I think of a certain explanation given by Master before his death.

She lightly clenched her bare hands into fists, took a deep breath, and tried to muster up her courage, but immediately her face became distressed and confused again.

Li Erqing When I saw that lonely figure, it seemed to overlap with a certain figure in my memory.

He sighed in his heart: Mu Family The two most outstanding and beautiful female cultivators of the two generations could not keep that man's heart.

After leaving Jade Moon Lake, Lan Chang'an stopped by Bamboo Leaf Mountain to take a look.

Bamboo Leaf Mountain Market, the level is slightly lower, and it is no longer as prosperous as the first auction back then.

Maple Leaf Huang Family, the owner of Marketplace, now has two monks Foundation Establishment.

The original Foundation Establishment female cultivator "Huang Yingchun", the one she relied on, Foundation Establishment Late Stage dao companion, is said to be old and her life span is approaching.

The cooperative relationship between the two parties gradually faded.

The materials purchased by Lan Chang'an have high quality requirements, so there is little gain from Bamboo Leaf Mountain Market.

A Moon Empress.

Lan Chang'an went to Liaoyuan Immortal City and Yellow Dragon Immortal City and other places one after another.

Liaoyuan Immortal City, the material price is the highest, Lan Chang'an reluctantly bought some high-grade materials from Talisman, Puppet.

Yellow Dragon Immortal City, in addition to the ordinary parts and fur of Demon Beast, other materials are also not cheap.

Eventually.

Lan Chang'an completed the large purchase and returned Wuqi Mountain.

During the purchase, Lan Chang'an did not use his own identity.

In fact, in the east and south of the Liang Kingdom, and even in the area north of the Black Mist Mountain Range, there are also larger Marketplace and even Immortal City.

As the prices of supplies continued to rise, Lan Chang'an followed the trend and only went to relatively nearby areas.

One year later.

Lan Chang'an, who is in Wuqi Mountain, received gossip from the outside world.

It is said that Liang Kingdom Cultivation World is going to fall into war.

There are different opinions on the specific reasons.

The most outrageous news is: Boundless Hall of the Yan Kingdom has already beaten Feng Kingdom to surrender, and in two years it will be Liang Kingdom's turn.

When the news of the war was known even to the maid Lan Rou, it had obviously spread widely throughout the country.

Some of the uninformed bottom Rogue Cultivator were frightened and followed the trend to purchase war preparation supplies.

Some unscrupulous merchants and shops claim that if they don't buy it now, the price will double if there is a war.

As a result, combat readiness supplies, which were already at a high level, have increased even further.

Materials that were originally lagging behind were reluctant to sell. In response, prices surged, in line with war preparation supplies.

In this regard, Three Peak Masters from Wuqi Mountain gathered together to discuss.

Lan Chang'an and Ye Fei really made a lot of money.

Talisman and pills are consumables in war.

"The formation's increase is average, and I don't make as much as the other two."

Shi Manrong said with a gentle voice and a smile.

The formation is not a consumable, and the battlefield is not at the Liang Kingdom. It just increases a bit with certain materials.

"Haha, if the price of the formation increases significantly, that is definitely not a good thing! Fairy Shi It's better not to expect it."

Ye Fei had a drink and joked.

"When Mr. Lu makes Spirit Stone, he is going to find Fairy Shi to improve Small Turtle Peak's formation. By then, I hope to give him a preferential price."

Lan Chang'an was moved in his heart and said hello in advance.

Wuqi Mountain's Peak Master has made a lot of money, but it can't be hidden from people who are interested.

The more you earn, the less you should skimp on protective measures.

Fairy Shi's current formation attainments can already deploy Quasi-Third-Order's formations.

"Daoist Lu is sincerely taking care of the business, and I can only ask for it."

Shi Manrong lightly lifted her hair and toasted a glass of spiritual wine. A touching light red appeared on her silver plate-like face.

Ye Fei glanced at Lan Chang'an and Shi Manrong.

I found that these two Peak Master, who were more senior, occasionally met their eyes and chatted happily.

More than thirty years have passed since Shi Manrong lost his memory.

It was a "new acquaintance". Lan Chang'an's friendship with this woman deepened and they had similar outlooks, so it was inevitable that they would like each other.

In recent years, Shi Manrong has occasionally met in private with him. Compared to his previous dignified and reserved nature, Shi Manrong is a little more close and gentle.

Lan Chang'an, however, remembered that after this woman came back from hunting the big demon with Yellow Dragon Mountain, she once said that she had recovered the incomplete memory fragments of Ancient Ruins, and she did not mention this matter again in these years.

In the next two years, the information about the war became more and more accurate.

Because the top leaders of several major sects have reached a consensus and begun to unite the forces of Seven Great Clans, major Immortal City and chambers of commerce.

A year or two before the war was about to end, Lan Chang'an went to various Immortal Citys and, under different identities, sold the accumulated materials one after another.

Give priority to materials of level 2 or below, followed by materials that have nothing to do with skills.

Finally, there are some old and poor quality Second-Order Low-Grade Talisman and Puppet.

Through war speculation, buying low and selling high, and refining and selling war necessities, Lan Chang'an made huge profits.

Unknowingly.

He has accumulated more than thirty thousand Spirit Stone.

This does not include the batch of high-grade Talisman and Puppet that I have hoarded.

In the past few years, Lan Chang'an earned a lot of Spirit Stone and purchased materials for refining Puppet.

Not counting some trump cards, Lan Chang'an is worth more than many Pseudo-Core True Person.

Take Xiang Jinglong as an example. After achieving False Core, if you purchase Law Treasure, your life's accumulation will be used up, and you will be tight on money.

Secretly, Xiang Jinglong also occasionally guest-starred as a robber. Even so, the efficiency of earning Spirit Stone is far less than that of Lan Chang'an.

Lan Chang'an According to statistics, Talisman earns more Spirit Stone than Puppet.

The main reason is that the refining cycle of Puppet is long, the price is high, and few monks can afford it.

And if it is not Puppet Master, or Divine Sense is not outstanding, it is difficult to exert the true power of Puppet.

This day.

Within Secret Chamber of Small Turtle Peak.

"One hundred and twenty-six years old, Foundation Establishment sixth floor."

Lan Chang'an opened his eyes as black as ink, slowly withdrawing his power, his white clothes fluttering.

The total amount of Evergreen Mana in the body increased by 20 to 30% compared to the five layers of Foundation Establishment.

Because it is not a small breakthrough, the quality of Law Power is almost the same.

Using Law Artifact or Law Technique will not significantly increase the power, which mainly affects long-term combat.

If you go one step further, break through the seventh level of Foundation Establishment, step into Foundation Establishment Late Stage, and become the same level of overhaul as Foundation Establishment Realm, your strength will make a qualitative leap.

Huchi!

Cyan Giant Turtle, whose body is nearly 1.5 feet wide, is rubbing against Lan Chang'an's breath and fawning over her intimately.

Lan Chang'an understand what it means.

After leaving the customs, he sat on the back of Mystic Water Turtle.

Mystic Water Turtle carried its owner and jumped out of the cave happily, showing off its power to Earth Rock Rat not far away.

Earth Rock Rat glanced at Big Turtle with disdain, and couldn't help baring his teeth, a little bit disgusted.

Squeak!

It came to Big Turtle in a standing posture, which was much taller than Mystic Water Turtle, and presented a letter in an anthropomorphic manner.

This is a letter from Zhang Tieshan.

The content of the letter made Lan Chang'an slightly moved.

"Liang Kingdom sect announced the expedition, Golden Cloud Valley will send out the first batch of monks..."
