The Fact That Terrified Countless Sects

"Do you sell your Dao-Controlling Pill?"

After the Azure Cloud Gazette published the news about the Dao-Controlling Pill, Tu Shan came to the Azure Cloud Sect to inquire about it.

"I can sell it. For the sake of our alliance, eighty Supreme-Grade Spirit Stone!" Zhang Yang replied with a smile.

He knew that this group of people bought the Dao-Controlling Pill for research purposes and were unwilling to use them themselves.

However, other sects can't refine this elixir!

Without the elixir of immortality from three thousand years ago, no one can expect to succeed!

In that case, the most important thing is to sell the Dao-Controlling Pill and then trade some Supreme-Grade Spirit Stone to upgrade the Azure Sky Ultimate Cloud Formation.

Tu Shan returned to report to the Sage Master.

After discussion, the Langya Sacred Land felt that a pill like the Dao-Controlling Pill could serve as a foundation for the sect, and therefore they should purchase one.

Thus, after paying eighty Supreme-Grade Spirit Stone, the Langya Sacred Land obtained one.

Next, Sea-Heaven Pavilion arrived.

Yi Lin, who lives in Azure Cloud City, also bought one on behalf of Heavenly Heart Island.

Two hundred and forty Supreme-Grade Spirit Stone in hand!

Adding the Supreme-Grade Spirit Stone acquired in previous transactions, we're already more than halfway to reach the thousand mark.

Finally, the Azure Cloud Sect publicly announced that it would sell Dao-Controlling Pill for one hundred Supreme-Grade Spirit Stone each!

After receiving the news, Myriad Spirits Sect, Return to Origin Temple, Sacred Spirit Church, One-Guard Monastery came with money to buy it.

They originally thought that the Azure Cloud Sect would never give them something like this.

I never expected the Azure Cloud Sect to be so generous!

Although they knew that Supreme-Grade Spirit Stone would enhance the foundation of the Azure Cloud Sect, if they obtained the Dao-Controlling Pill, and could decipher its Pill Formula and refine it, their foundation would also be enhanced.

Therefore, none of the major sects hesitated.

The thousand Supreme-Grade Spirit Stone were quickly acquired.

Zhang Yang handed all the Supreme-Grade Spirit Stone to his master and asked, "Master, the Azure Sky Ultimate Cloud Formation should be fine now, right?"

"Of course!" Azure Cloud Master replied excitedly, "Once I add these Supreme-Grade Spirit Stones to the grand formation, it will unleash its full power. By the way, didn't you say you were going to release five Demon Lords?"

"Once I finish upgrading the grand formation, releasing them will be a piece of cake."

It took him a lot of effort to release several Demon Lord last time.

The more incomplete the formation, the more effort it takes to activate it.

"Well, let's wait until Master finishes upgrading the great formation!" Zhang Yang said with a smile. "The other sects are about to discover our purpose. If we upgrade the great formation now, we won't have to worry about them attacking our continent."

The second five-year plan has already been underway for more than two years.

Even after so much time has passed, the other sects still haven't realized the price increase of materials, all because the weapons and pills they released have diverted their attention.

Because lower-level Alchemist and weapon refiners from other sects are also refining pills and Law Treasure, the people in charge of materials in those major sects must know that these things are going up in price.

It just depends on how much importance is placed on it.

At this point, many people from various sects began to panic.

These people were in charge of allocating the sect's resources. They discovered that the sect's Spirit Stone were flowing out in a torrent, unstoppable.

In the Myriad Spirits Sect, the elder in charge of resources is named Zhou Hong, who is Zhou Xuansheng's absolute confidant.

Such important positions within a sect are always filled by absolute confidants.

Zhou Hong found Zhou Junchen and said with a serious expression, "Vice Sect Master, our storeroom is running low on supplies!"

"What's the meaning?"

Zhou Junchen was completely bewildered. What did he mean by "warehouse shortage"?

Zhou Hong said very seriously, "I have taken stock of some of the storerooms. Apart from the sect's reserves of Supreme-Grade Spirit Stone, we only have about five million Upper-grade Spirit Stone Mid-grade Spirit Stone spirit stones, and at most two billion Lower-grade Spirit Stone."

These Spirit Stone add up to over 10 billion, which is actually quite a lot.

However, the Myriad Spirits Sect is a top-tier sect!

Is this all the Spirit Stone left in the warehouse?

Zhou Junchen's expression changed drastically, and he hurriedly asked, "How come there are only this Spirit Stone left?"

"Vice Sect Master, you don't know the situation outside, do you?" Zhou Hong smiled bitterly. "The price of ordinary spirit medicine has increased five to ten times; the price of slightly rarer ones has increased more than ten times; and the price of even more precious spirit medicine is not calculated in multiples. You can't buy them even if you have the money. There's simply no one selling them!"

Besides spirit medicine, the prices of various refining materials are also skyrocketing.

Like Copper Mother- of-pearl, its price has now tripled.

Now, it's safe to say that using the same materials requires several times more Spirit Stone than before.

Our sect must come up with a solution, otherwise things will get very complicated."

Zhou Junchen was completely numb.

He certainly knew the situation was serious.

Immortal Cultivation is all about resources, but now that resources are starting to tighten, how will they cultivate?

Of course, besides Spirit Stone, the Myriad Spirits Sect must have other resources in stock.

Under normal circumstances, they are not flustered at all.

However, more than two years ago, they sold resources worth billions to the Azure Cloud Sect.

Although we made a lot of money at the time, looking back now, we would have preferred to keep those billions of dollars worth of resources!

Zhou Junchen frowned and suddenly asked, "What about the 10 billion IOU that the Azure Cloud Sect owes us? Go find them and collect it!"

With these billions of pills and Law Treasure back, the Myriad Spirits Sect has no fear of resource scarcity.

Zhou Hong's tone was filled with anger. "Azure Cloud Sect has been dragging its feet and refusing to honor the IOU. They would rather refund one and pay three times the amount in compensation!"

With the prices of elixirs and raw materials rising, they simply cannot bear to honor that multi-billion dollar IOU.

We've negotiated many times, but it's still no use."

Zhou Junchen instantly flew into a rage. "That damned Azure Cloud Sect, they're bastards!"

He never expected that the Azure Cloud Sect would renege on its debt.

Zhou Hong was also furious, but according to the agreement, Azure Cloud Sect had already refunded one-third of the purchase price as compensation, so what else could he do?

Deep down, he harbored an even greater fear: if this turmoil was orchestrated by the Azure Cloud Sect... then the Azure Cloud Sect was truly terrifying!

This is like having the whole world under one's control!

"Keep urging them!" Zhou Junchen said fiercely. "No matter what, make them pay! Just stall for time until our sect leader emerges from seclusion. Once the sect leader reaches the True Immortal Realm, he can personally demand it."

Zhou Hong nodded; that was the only thing he could do.

At this time, other sects in the world, like Zhou Hong, also discovered the problem.

All the sects were simultaneously scrambling to seize spirit medicine and materials while dealing with the current situation.

This resulted in a skyrocketing price for materials worldwide!

At the Azure Cloud Sect, Situ Mingyue excitedly approached Zhang Yang: "Eldest Senior Brother, the Qi-Nourishing Pill has doubled! They're now selling for 400 Spirit Stone, and there are so many people scrambling to buy them!"

Furthermore, countless people are scrambling to buy all sorts of materials; the price of spirit medicine like Mayflower has increased fifteenfold!

Situ Mingyue was naturally excited. Back then, Azure Cloud Sect bought four or five hundred billion worth of materials from other sects at a price that was about 20% higher.

Although a lot of these materials have been used up, there are still a large amount of materials piled up in the warehouse!

At current prices, the Azure Cloud Sect's wealth has reached hundreds of billions!

This ability to make money amazed Situ Mingyue Celestial Person!

She couldn't fathom how her Eldest Senior Brother had come up with such a way to make money.

What terrifying earning power!

Zhang Yang smiled faintly, "It's increased more than tenfold, hasn't it? The time has come, let's start selling now!"
