A Seller's Market, World-Extinguishing
Hearing Zhong Lingxiu's words, Ye Changqing's doubts dissipated.
The Puppet Sect has always enjoyed a prestigious reputation among system hosts; there's absolutely no need for them to tarnish their name for such a small amount of Energy Points.
After all, once a promise is broken, the loss cannot be compensated by billions or tens of billions of Energy Points.
Upon thinking of this, he shook his head and said frankly, "I naturally trust your clan's reputation."
These War Weapons are indeed very expensive; I wonder if it's possible to lower the price?
"I'm sorry, Sect Leader Ye!"
Zhong Lingxiu smiled faintly, then resolutely shook her head in refusal.
"While our sect 'War Weapons are exceptionally powerful, they also consume enormous amounts of manpower and resources, resulting in high costs that leave no room for price reduction."
The War Weapons are the pinnacle of creation forged by the Puppet Sect with the full strength of the sect.
It's a unique business with no competitors in the short term.
Wouldn't it be a shame not to make a killing now and recoup the costs?
Moreover, she was certain that the Azure Cloud Sect would not refuse.
Such powerful War Weapons are exactly what they desperately need to turn the tide of the war between good and evil. If used properly, they can certainly inflict heavy damage on the demonic camp.
Upon hearing this, Ye Changqing's lips twitched violently.
While the Puppet Sect's products are indeed excellent, they are also ridiculously expensive, and there is absolutely no possibility of price reductions unless there are competing products.
"Fellow Daoist Zhong, although your sect is located in the Eastern Desolation, it belongs to the same righteous path."
"The righteous path and the demonic path are currently locked in a fierce battle in the Central Continent. Could you perhaps lower the price as a gesture of support for the righteous path?"
"Our sect's immediate visit to recommend War Weapons to you, rather than directly listing them in the System Store, is already the greatest support we can offer."
Zhong Lingxiu maintained a slight smile, her tone firm.
"Moreover, the forging of these War Weapons is time-consuming, the materials are rare, and the forging process is extremely difficult, so there is simply no room for price reduction."
Price reduction?
Absolutely impossible.
As for the claim that they belong to the same orthodox lineage, that's just empty talk.
How could she not know that all the sects in the Central Continent, whether righteous or demonic, looked down on the cultivation sects in the Eastern Desolation, even calling them country bumpkins?
She didn't take the opportunity to raise the price, which was already out of consideration for the fact that they were both on the right path.
Don't even think about lowering the price.
Seeing Zhong Lingxiu's resolute attitude, Ye Changqing felt helpless.
He had long coveted these War Weapons, knowing that if used properly, they would be enough to severely damage the demonic path;
But actually spending a huge amount of Energy Points to buy it is really painful.
After pondering for a while, he suddenly had an idea:
This matter is by no means solely the concern of the Azure Cloud Sect; it should be jointly funded by all righteous sects in the Central Continent.
Thinking of this, he immediately opened the Central Continent Righteous Path chat group and sent a message:
"Zhong Lingxiu from the Puppet Sect visited and introduced me to new War Weapons..."
This item possesses immense power; if used properly, it can deliver a fatal blow to the demonic faction.
I recommend purchasing it. If you hesitate, the Puppet Sect may put it on the System Store, at which point the Devil Dao Sect will acquire it and it will become a major threat to us.
Therefore, I propose a large-scale purchase, ideally buying up all their inventory, so that the demonic path cannot obtain them in the short term.
Wei Yan asked, "Fellow Daoist Ye, is this so-called War Weapons truly so simple to operate and possesses such formidable power?"
Ye Changqing then replied, "Judging from the promotional video provided by the Puppet Sect, this thing is indeed incredibly powerful and quite easy to operate."
Moreover, Zhong Lingxiu was willing to take us to see the actual artifacts in person, so what she said must be true.
Moreover, the Puppet Sect has absolutely no reason to deceive us, nor would it dare to deceive us.
If we don't buy it, they'll probably put it on the System Store and promote it extensively.
Such powerful weapons must not be allowed to be acquired by the demonic faction first; therefore, I believe we must seize them.
Liu Qingqing echoed, "The Puppet Sect has always been reliable and would never cheat on its products; otherwise, it would only be a losing proposition."
"But this price is really too high. Fellow Daoist Ye, could you perhaps discuss it with Zhong Lingxiu again and try to get some discounts?"
"I've already spoken with Zhong Lingxiu, but she won't budge an inch, so there's really no way to lower the price right now," Ye Changqing replied helplessly.
Liu Qingqing sighed, "Alas, it's a seller's market now, we have no choice."
I propose we purchase them directly, with the required Energy Points shared by all righteous sects.
Wei Yan echoed in the group chat, "Since such War Weapons can enhance the strength of our righteous path, we should decisively purchase them."
The leaders of the other righteous sects also clearly saw the current situation and expressed their agreement to purchase War Weapons.
Seeing that everyone had reached a consensus, Ye Changqing immediately looked at Zhong Lingxiu and asked:
"Fellow Daoist Zhong, how many God-Extinguishing Repeating Crossbow, God-Slaying Cannon, and War Flying Ship do you currently have in stock?"
"3158 God-Extinguishing Repeating Crossbow, 1021 God-Slaying Cannon, and 10 War Flying Ship"
They also have approximately 1 million God-Extinguishing Arrows.
"I wonder how much Sect Leader Ye plans to purchase?" Zhong Lingxiu replied with a smile.
After hearing this, Ye Changqing immediately discussed the matter with the other righteous sect leaders in the chat group, and then spoke:
"We will buy all of this inventory."
However, you must promise that the War Weapons will only be available in the System Store and advertised after we have put them into use.
Upon hearing this, Zhong Lingxiu's smile widened, "Of course."
"Once you have put these War Weapons into use, we will then put them on the System Store."
After saying that, she used her Divine Sense to communicate with Cao Xuan, the leader of the Puppet Sect, via Microchat.
A moment later, Cao Xuan sent Microchat red envelope.
The moment Zhong Lingxiu accepted the red envelope, a storage Law Treasure appeared in her hand.
She scanned it with her Divine Sense and confirmed that it contained various War Weapons. Then she raised her hand and handed the storage Law Treasure to Ye Changqing.
"Sect Leader Ye, these are all the War Weapons you have purchased."
However, the War Flying Ship are enormous, and they are currently shrunk in their storage Law Treasure, making a live demonstration impossible.
If you want to practice, you'd better find a secluded place.
Ye Changqing accepted the storage Law Treasure, probed it with his Divine Sense, and saw that the God-Extinguishing Repeating Crossbow, the God-Slaying Cannon, and the War Flying Ship were real. A smile appeared on his face:
"Okay, I understand."
After saying that, he immediately paid Zhong Lingxiu the full amount for the goods.
After Zhong Lingxiu left, he discussed with the leaders of the righteous sects how to use these War Weapons to fight against the demonic path.
Inside Liu Yi's Portable Daoist Sanctum bedroom, he sat with his eyes closed, surrounded by a rich aura of the Great Dao.
It was as if they had become one with heaven and earth, having entered a state of complete absorption in the universe.
Suddenly, he opened his eyes, and within them flowed Great Dao Runes, and fleeting images of countless worlds flashed by.
He then let out a long sigh and a smile appeared on his face.
During this period of seclusion, he finally created the Return to Oneness Realm method from the Dao Seed Martial Dao System's Cultivation Method Secret Manual in the System Store;
Furthermore, it integrates the fist techniques, palm techniques, and finger techniques from the System Store, aligning with the Great Dao of the World, to create its own unique martial arts Divine Ability, "World-Extinguishing."
This World-Extinguishing Divine Ability can be used with fists, palms, or fingers, and can be unleashed at will.
Once activated, it can unleash both the supreme power of world creation and the destructive force to annihilate the universe.
The power of creation and the power of destruction can be switched freely in the operation of Divine Ability abilities, with vast power.
