Harvesting the World

At the entrance of the Azure Moon Merchant Association, many Rogue Cultivators and spies from other sects all wore worried expressions.

Because the resources needed for cultivation have increased significantly now!

Who would have thought that Qi-Nourishing Pill would sell for four hundred Spirit Stone?

Why is this world so crazy?

Furthermore, why are those spirit medicine so expensive? Priced ten times higher than usual—are they insane?

The doors of the Azure Moon Merchant Association opened again, and the group entered with worried expressions. Upon seeing today's prices, many couldn't help but rub their eyes in dismay.

What's going on?

Yesterday, the Qi-Nourishing Pill was selling for 400, but today it's only 390.

Although it's only ten Spirit Stone cheaper, at least for everyone, the price hasn't gone up anymore!

And those spirit medicine are all seeing price reductions.

Many people buy it instinctively, but how many Spirit Stone do they actually have?

Then they hurriedly reported the news to their sects. Upon hearing that the Azure Moon Merchant Association had lowered its prices, many sects rushed to buy some.

Because they need materials to refine pills!

These items are consumables, and they're afraid the price will go back up tomorrow.

In the Langya Sacred Land, the Sage Master solemnly instructed, "Closely monitor the movements of the Azure Moon Merchant Association. Whatever they do, we will do. If they lower their prices, we will follow suit. Tu Shan, you arrange for someone to keep a close watch and relay the information back immediately. This matter is extremely urgent and cannot be neglected!"

He knew Zhang Yang was up to no good, and if he didn't keep an eye on him, the Langya Sacred Land would suffer a great loss.

Now they are able to follow in Zhang Yang's footsteps, even though they are a step behind. But as long as they don't suffer any losses, that's already very good.

It would be even better if we could make a profit.

When the Langya Sacred Land learned that the Azure Moon Merchant Association had been lowering prices continuously, they also lowered their prices and distributed the goods they had previously acquired.

Then, the Spirit Stone of countless sects gradually dwindled, finally allowing them to purchase a large quantity of spirit medicine and various refining materials.

When the price of the Qi-Nourishing Pill finally dropped to 230, it couldn't go any lower.

Other elixirs, of course, also saw their prices drop.

Once it reaches a certain position, it will stop descending.

Even so, the whole world rejoices.

Everyone is finally feeling much better.

The prices of various materials naturally fell back to about half of their usual price, and then stopped falling.

The various sects have finally stored up enough of the materials they lacked.

At this moment, many sects wept.

Aren't these materials they bought back the same materials they sold in large quantities back then?

They only made a profit of 20% to 40% when they sold them, and now they're buying them back at several times the price?

At the Myriad Spirits Sect, Zhou Hong stared at the materials piled up in the treasure vault, his eyes Spirit Stone, and his body trembled.

Zhou Junchen swallowed hard and asked, "How is the situation now?"

"We still have about 5 billion Spirit Stone left, but we won't lack materials for the time being. Even so, compared to the materials we sold initially, we've reduced our supply by about 40%. Vice Sect Master, with this inflow and outflow, our Myriad Spirits Sect has suffered a net loss of over 10 billion Spirit Stone!"

Zhou Hong wanted to cry.

What a massive sinkhole this is!

How could someone in charge of resources make such a serious mistake?

Why is it that we only have so few Spirit Stone left, and not enough materials either?

Return to Origin Temple, Saint Spirit level, One-Guard Monastery... countless major sects were left speechless with despair.

Didn't they make a profit at the beginning?

How did it end up with a net loss of tens of billions?

What exactly happened?

At the Langya Sacred Land, the Sage Master asked with a solemn expression, "What is the current situation?"

His heart was constantly in his throat; he felt very uneasy.

"Prices have stabilized and shouldn't fluctuate much for the time being," Mountain God replied solemnly. "Our material inventory is more than sufficient. It's just that the Spirit Stone..."

The Sage Master's heart skipped a beat, and he hurriedly asked, "What happened to the Spirit Stone?"

Mountain God was strange as he said, "We did the final calculations and we made about 5 billion Spirit Stone!"

The Sage Master remained silent.

The entire room full of elders from the Langya Sacred Land fell silent.

They actually earned over 5 billion Spirit Stone just by following in the footsteps of the Azure Cloud Sect?

The Sage Master remained silent for a long time before slowly saying, "After today, I will write a book about business. Whoever controls resources from now on must thoroughly understand this book!"

He plans to write down Zhang Yang's manipulation of this Immortal Cultivation Realm affair and post it in the Langya Sacred Land.

He worried that if the people of Langya Sacred Land didn't study it in the future, they would suffer a great loss.

Didn't the other major sects suffer huge losses this time?

"Furthermore, in the future, if the prices of spirit medicine and materials rise in the Langya Continent, or if someone is buying up spirit medicine and materials on a large scale, you must report to me immediately!" the Sage Master said solemnly.

He was terrified.

The other elders nodded and went to attend to other matters.

The Sage Master pondered for a moment, then went to the Azure Cloud Sect and specifically requested to see Zhang Yang.

Upon seeing Zhang Yang, the Sage Master exclaimed with deep emotion, "Zhang Yang, congratulations on your fortune!"

"What wealth are you talking about? We're so poor we're practically begging for food!" Zhang Yang chuckled. "Sage Master, what brings you here again?"

The Sage Master shook his head with a wry smile, "If you're begging for food, the others will probably starve to death. Tell me, how much did you gain this time?"

"Sage Master, you flatter me. How can we casually tell people from other sects about such sect secrets?" Zhang Yang refused outright.

The Sage Master glared at Zhang Yang a few times. "Fine, don't tell me then... Thanks to you, we've made billions of Spirit Stone this time. I'll be generous and forget about that IOU."

Since the prices of various elixirs have all fallen, and they only paid a deposit, plus they've made billions in profit, that small amount of money doesn't matter.

"But in return, you have to tell me how you did it?" The Sage Master looked at Zhang Yang earnestly, hoping to get a detailed answer.

It's his business to deduce it, and there are bound to be some inaccuracies in it.

Zhang Yang then pulled out a book titled " On Resource Theory" and handed it to the Sage Master: "This was written by Zhang Changshan. Sage Master, please take a look! Although it's not finished yet, it already elucidates many principles."

The Sage Master took the "Resource Theory," flipped through it, and was greatly shocked.

That kid!

He returned to the Langya Sacred Land with his "Resource Theory" in mind.

After the Sage Master left, Situ Mingyue came over and asked, "Eldest Senior Brother, how much money did we make this time?"

"Not much, only seven or eight hundred billion!" Zhang Yang shook his head. "Sigh, I've been entangled with an old guy... If this old guy hadn't discovered my intentions beforehand, my matter would have been much slower, and I might have even been able to keep those sects from noticing."

Now this old fellow has instigated the looting of goods in Langya Sacred Land, exacerbating the situation and prematurely revealing its drawbacks, ultimately benefiting him... This scholar is indeed cunning!"
