Chapter 918 Preparations before the Storm

"You also have a base in Iceland?" Zhang Xuan asked.

"There is no stronghold, but there are people from our Beixuan Treasure Domain in many places in the Chaoxi Sea. After all, our Beixuan Treasure Domain is based on business, and our business tentacles have long reached every corner of the Great Wilderness." City Lord Sima explained.

"Since I had already caught your attention in Iceland, why didn't you contact me directly at that time?" Zhang Xuan continued to ask.

"Of course we wanted to contact you, but there were too many forces trying to contact you, including some veteran pirates from the Chaoxi Sea. There were also attempts to ambush you, so we could only choose to stay away."

"Later, you, the elder of the Tenth Clan, came to the Burial God Treasure Domain and boarded our Beixuan Treasure Domain's inter-domain treasure ship. Originally, this did not attract our attention. But in the subsequent battles, you repeatedly made contributions with your golden elixir body and exchanged for a large number of merit points. This really attracted the attention of our Beixuan Treasure Domain."

"We collected your information and sent it to the headquarters. After careful comparison, the headquarters found that you, the Tenth Clan Elder, and the cultivator who spent a lot of money lavishly in the Chaoxi Sea Area are the same person. At that time, we wanted to contact you, but the inter-domain treasure ship of the Beixuan Treasure Area had already flown away from the Tianmo City, and you, the Tenth Clan Elder, got off the ship at the Tianmo City stop."

"Our people then rushed to the Demon City and learned that you had entered the Demon Abyss Secret Realm. When you came out, you had already become a Nascent Soul cultivator. The Golden Core cultivators we sent at that time naturally did not dare to act rashly."

"We pieced together all the information about you, Elder of the Ten Clans, and found that before you appeared in the Chaoxi Sea, you were serving in the Holy Land, and your location was the torture chamber. Combined with the incident of the fourth-level monster plundering the Survivor in the Holy Land at that time, everything fits together."

"You, the Tenth Clan Elder, were imprisoned in an underground mine. Later, you released several fourth-level monsters from the prison and boarded the Survivor to the Chaoxi Sea. You then drifted from the Chaoxi Sea to the Burial God Treasure Area on the other side, boarded our treasure ship, and finally returned. In this way, we were able to piece together your entire whereabouts."

After hearing this, Zhang Xuan was silent for a moment, and then asked: "Have you disclosed this information about me to other people in Beixuan Treasure Domain?"

Sima City Lord hurriedly shook his head: "No, absolutely not. The Ten Clan Elders are friends with our Beixuan Treasure Territory, and we certainly won't do anything to betray our friends."

"That's good." Zhang Xuan nodded, a hint of satisfaction flashed in his eyes, then he glanced at City Lord Sima, turned around and left the stronghold of Dagu City in the Holy Land, but in his heart he was thinking about Beixuan Baoyu's words and his next action plan.

Now the eight great treasure regions are about to join forces to attack the Chaoxi Sea, and the dark cloud of war is looming over the entire Great Wilderness. Zhang Xuan knows that before this storm comes, he must be fully prepared.

His first step was to find his good friend Qin Xiao.

"Brother Zhang, long time no see. Why are you here this time..." Qin Xiao asked in surprise when he saw Zhang Xuan.

Henry Zhang looked solemn and went straight to the point: "Brother Qin, what have you considered? Are you ready to attack the Nascent Soul?"

"Strike at the Nascent Soul stage?" Qin Xiao frowned, obviously not expecting Zhang Xuan to suddenly bring up this topic. "Brother Zhang, why did you suddenly bring this up?"

"The Holy Land is about to undergo a huge change. We must improve our strength as soon as possible." Zhang Xuan's tone revealed an unquestionable sense of urgency.

"Brother Zhang, what news did you hear?" Qin Xiao's curiosity was aroused.

"Now is not the time to discuss this, Brother Qin, you must reach the Nascent Soul stage as soon as possible, so that you can protect yourself in the upcoming turmoil."

As Henry Zhang spoke, he took out a bottle of Ningying Jindan and a Xuandao fruit that exuded an ancient aura from his storage bag and handed them to Qin Xiao.

Qin Xiao looked at the pill in his hand and the legendary ancient Xuandao fruit, and was so shocked that he was speechless for a moment.

He was naturally aware of the value of these items. Zhang Xuan's move undoubtedly provided great help for him to reach the Nascent Soul stage.

"Brother Zhang...I will always remember your kindness."

Qin Xiao looked at Zhang Xuan deeply, his heart full of gratitude.

He knew that Zhang Xuan was thinking about his safety, and he, Qin Xiao, would remember this friendship for the rest of his life.

After Zhang Xuan left Qin Xiao's residence, he walked in a hurry, and he already had a clear plan in his mind.

Although the dark cloud of war has not yet enveloped the entire holy land, Zhang Xuan has already felt the imminent tense atmosphere.

This news is currently only spreading among high-level monks, and ordinary monks have not yet noticed the coming storm.

Zhang Xuan knew that this was an opportunity.

Once a war breaks out, the prices of various weapons, formations, and elixirs on the market will inevitably rise wildly.

He decided to harvest as many resources as possible before the war to prepare for the coming turmoil.

He quickly arrived at the trading center of the holy land - the 72nd floor.

This is the most prosperous trading place in the holy land, with all kinds of rare spiritual materials, magic weapons, and elixirs.

As soon as he entered the 72nd floor, Zhang Xuan began to shop like crazy.

His goal was clear, and he went straight for those high-level spiritual materials.

He knew very well that these spiritual materials were valuable resources for improving his strength.

Once a war breaks out, there will be no demand for it.

Zhang Xuan spent almost all of the high-quality spirit stones he had on him, but he exchanged them for a large number of rare spirit materials, including thousand-year-old red fruit, ten-thousand-year-old spiritual ginseng, star iron, purple gold sand, etc.

Each of these spiritual materials is a hot commodity in the market, and once a war breaks out, their value will increase exponentially.

His movements were swift and decisive, attracting the attention of other cultivators around him, but Zhang Xuan didn't care.

He knew that these resources would play a vital role in future wars and were the key to survival.

After spending all the spirit stones on him, he came to find Xu Luobai again.

"Brother Zhang, what are you here for?" Xu Luobai asked in surprise when he saw Zhang Xuan coming back.

"Borrow spirit stones." Zhang Xuan said bluntly.

"Borrow spirit stones?" Xu Luobai was stunned. He remembered that Zhang Xuan had always been cautious and never asked for help easily, let alone borrow money.

"How much do you want to borrow?" Xu Luobai asked curiously.

"The more the better. How much can you lend, Brother Xu?" Zhang Xuan's answer made Xu Luobai even more confused.

"Is it enough to lend you 1000 million high-quality spirit stones?"

Henry Zhang shook his head and said firmly: “Too little.”

"What about 5000 million?" Xu Luobai raised the amount.

Henry Zhang still shook his head: "Too little."

Xu Luobai frowned and asked with concern: "Brother Zhang, what urgent matter have you encountered? If you have any difficulties, you can tell me directly."

"I have no difficulty." Zhang Xuan answered straightforwardly.

"Then why are you borrowing so many spirit stones? What exactly are you going to buy now? If you want to buy a courtyard on a fourth-grade upper-grade spirit vein, you can do that with spirit stones."

"I know, I'm not here to buy a yard."

"So what do you want to buy?"
