Buying Out the Azure Cloud Sect
The Myriad Spirits Continent is closest to the Azure Cloud Continent, and they quickly received news that the Azure Moon Merchant Association had lowered the prices of its goods.
Jiang Tao and the other Dao Integration Realm were completely dumbfounded.
When did the Azure Cloud Sect become so unbecoming?
They're actually willing to help everyone fight against the Ghost Realm Envoys?
Even though it's just a price reduction on goods, it's still a significant benefit for everyone.
For such an important matter, they still consulted Zhou Junchen.
Because Zhou Xuansheng had gone into seclusion again, they dared not disturb him, and they also hoped that Zhou Xuansheng could break through to the True Immortal Realm.
Since that's the case, Zhou Junchen is left to make the decision.
Upon hearing the news, Zhou Junchen frowned and asked, "Is this true?"
"It's true!" Many Dao Integration Realm nodded in agreement. "This news has been confirmed. It's been published in the Azure Cloud Gazette, and the Rogue Cultivator in Azure Cloud City have already started snapping up the goods. The prices of all the items are exactly as reported in the Azure Cloud Gazette!"
Zhou Junchen decisively said, "In that case, let's take a large amount of Spirit Stone and buy out the entire Azure Cloud Sect!"
We've made back the money we lost last time.
After we buy them, we can sell them and make money!
Jiang Tao said with a wry smile, "Vice Sect Master, our sect must retain a certain amount of Spirit Stone for circulation... Last time we lost billions of Spirit Stone to the Azure Cloud Sect, and we don't have many Spirit Stone left for circulation."
"If we allocate a large amount of resources for further purchases, we won't have enough Spirit Stone."
"We can buy them back and then sell them! Once we sell those things, we'll get Spirit Stone, right?" Zhou Junchen countered. "It's just a conversion process, so there's nothing to worry about."
Oh, right, don't they also buy materials and spirit medicine?
"Let's bring a batch too; that will greatly reduce our consumption of Spirit Stone."
Jiang Tao thought it made sense, so he personally took two people to the Azure Moon Merchant Association to buy goods and sell materials.
In the Langya Sacred Land, everyone excitedly reported to the Sage Master: "Sage Master, we must hurry to the Azure Moon Merchant Association to buy things, otherwise we may run out of supplies."
"Don't be in such a hurry!" the Sage Master said with a wry smile. "Haven't you suffered enough losses yet?"
"Which of Zhang Yang's actions was for good?"
"But..." Jia Sheng asked, puzzled and somewhat Qi Ingestion, "What kind of trouble could they possibly cause this time? We got a good deal buying those cheap items!"
No one can answer this question.
Such large-scale commodity circulation involves the economy, and even those who specialize in economics might take a long time to react, let alone ordinary people.
"This time, it seems that the Azure Cloud Sect really wants to help others in the world." Tu Shan also expressed his opinion. "Could they be losing money to gain reputation? After all, Azure Cloud Master has Mid Tribulation Transcendence Realm, and they are truly on equal footing with the major sects in the world."
"Losing some money at this time, while gaining some prestige for the Azure Cloud Sect, can greatly enhance their influence."
Everyone nodded in agreement, believing that the Azure Cloud Sect must have considered this aspect.
The Sage Master nodded slightly; he too was considering whether this was a suitable target for Zhang Yang.
Or is this just one of the goals?
He pondered for a long time before saying, "Since they've lowered the price, let's buy some too, but not too much, around ten billion Spirit Stone should be enough."
They're all our allies, after all. Taking advantage of them a little is fine, but taking too much is not good."
In reality, he felt uneasy, always suspecting that Zhang Yang had a conspiracy.
However, if it's only one billion Spirit Stone, it won't have a significant impact on the Langya Sacred Land.
Because when they compensated Azure Cloud Sect last time, they only paid 1.5 billion Spirit Stone, far less than other sects.
The others could only manage wry smiles; they thought the Sage Master was far too concerned with saving face.
Yes, they are allies!
They can only take less of this advantage.
"Should we sell some of our materials?" Tu Shan asked.
The price of materials has also gone up, so selling now means making a profit.
The Sage Master nodded helplessly. "Sell some, about two billion worth of materials, and let that brat Zhang Yang make back some of the money we lost last time, that should be enough."
The group was still somewhat dissatisfied because they felt they hadn't earned enough.
However, this round trip has already involved a total of 3 billion Spirit Stone, with overall profits of several hundred million. For the sake of our allies, let's just let it go!
Subsequently, Tu Shan took one billion Spirit Stone and materials worth about two billion to Azure Cloud City.
After arriving in Azure Cloud City, they went to the Azure Moon Merchant Association of the Azure Moon Merchant Association to queue up.
Upon arrival, they saw a huge banner at the entrance of the Azure Moon Merchant Association: "For large transactions exceeding ten million Spirit Stone, please go directly to the Azure Cloud Guesthouse, where dedicated staff will handle the process. For large transactions exceeding one hundred million spirit stones, please apply to go directly to the Azure Cloud Sect reception."
Tu Shan nodded repeatedly upon seeing the banner.
He felt that this was the reasonable approach.
Otherwise, how long would it take him to sort through all those 1 billion Spirit Stone within the Azure Moon Merchant Association?
Upon arriving at the Azure Cloud Guesthouse, he said to Chunxiao, "I want to trade items worth more than 3 billion Spirit Stone."
Chunxiao immediately said, "Greetings, esteemed guest! We will send someone to lead you to the Azure Cloud Sect to find your senior master immediately!"
Afterwards, she summoned the disciples of the Azure Cloud Sect and led them to the sect from Tu Shan.
When they arrived at the sect, they found that Jiang Tao was already there.
At this moment, Zhang Yang and Jiang Tao were arguing vehemently. "Senior Jiang, you've gone too far."
Our Azure Cloud Sect was just trying to help other sects, but you guys directly purchased nearly 10 billion worth of pills and Law Treasure. Aren't you just taking advantage of our Azure Cloud Sect?
Regardless of whether we can actually deliver it to your Myriad Spirits Sect, once we hand it all over to you, how will we trade with other sects?
Tu Shan, who was on his way, was startled when he heard this.
This is outrageous! The Myriad Spirits Sect is really going too far!
Did they buy over 10 billion directly?
Is this an attempt to buy out the Azure Cloud Sect?
Jiang Tao was very pleased with himself and asked with a smile, "Does that mean the promise made in the Azure Cloud Gazette is not true? You publicly admitted that you were willing to help everyone overcome this difficulty. Our Myriad Spirits Sect has suffered huge losses this time, and many of our disciples have been seriously injured. We need a large amount of pills to help them recover and heal."
Could it be that the Azure Cloud Sect's promise to help other sects in the world is a joke?
He thought he had caught Zhang Yang red-handed and pursued him relentlessly.
Zhang Yang sighed and looked at Jiang Tao helplessly, "Since we made a promise, we will definitely keep it."
Senior Jiang, how about this?
My Azure Cloud Sect does indeed possess these billions of pills and Law Treasure, but I have to deal with other sects, so I can't give them all to you.
I'll give you 1 billion worth of goods first, and for the remaining 9 billion worth of goods, I'll give you IOUs.
You will receive full payment within the Future three years.
"Of course, you don't need to pay upfront; you only need to pay a deposit of 500 million. If we fail to completely subdue your Myriad Spirits Sect within the deadline, we will not only refund your 500 million deposit in full, but we will also compensate you with three times the amount. In other words, we will compensate you with 1.5 billion Spirit Stone. What do you think?"
