1995 Chapter 1,888, profiteering
The hunter King looked sincere, but he had other thoughts.
How many people were willing to join the Hunter alliance and travel around to complete the bounty?
If they really had a background, they wouldn’t have fallen to such a state.
Because of this, hunters placed more importance on their connections than ordinary people.
Any useful connections would be treasured.
Although the senior in front of them had not made a move, he had casually brought along the limitless karmic flames and the DAO Master Buddhist relics. His cultivation level was very likely to be that of a dao master expert.
What was even more rare was that this dao master expert was willing to help them. It could be seen that he was a rather benevolent dao master.
How could they miss it?
That was why the hunter king had spoken with such sincerity.
The only thing they were worried about was that in front of the Dao Master, how could they help?
“What kind of help do I need from You Juniors?”As expected, the DAO Master’s Chuckle came from nowhere.
The group of hunters smiled bitterly in their hearts. As expected.
Disappointment flashed across the hunter King’s eyes. The sadness of being weak.
Even if he met the Dao master, he would not be able to make friends with him.
“However, if you really want to, I have a new disciple who has just become the sect master of Taiji. He might have some difficulties and need help. I am going to the nine-star civilization on official business and have no time to spare for the time being. If you can help him, it will be a great help to me.”
Hearing this, the hunters were overjoyed.
The hunter King said in a deep voice, “Senior, please rest assured. We will go to the Taiji civilization now to help your disciple.”
“In that case, I will have to trouble you.”A voice said, “This old man came in a hurry. I don’t have anything that the emperor needs. You can just use these!”
With that, rain began to fall from the sky.
However, it was not ordinary rain, but rain that contained absolute beginning qi.
Hunter king was shocked. “Absolute beginning Qi!”
Absolute beginning Qi had a great effect on them condensing their laws, but it had an even more miraculous effect on Dao Masters.
It was said that Dao masters who obtained absolute beginning Qi could transform it into a part of their cultivation, and it was extremely precious.
If he sold the absolute beginning Qi to a dao master, he would be able to sell it for an astonishing price!
The DAO Master in front of them had actually poured out the absolute beginning Qi in large quantities!
The group of Hunter kings was shocked, and they began to gather it tightly.
A moment later, the heavy rain stopped, and every hunter’s face lit up with joy.
Just the absolute beginning Qi rain alone was not a wasted trip for them, let alone working for this dao master’s disciple who had been so generous. It was not certain that they would be able to gain the DAO Master’s favor in the future.
“Thank you, Senior!”
“Hehe, I’ll leave my disciple to you for now. I’ll go...”
“Farewell, Senior!”
After he had left for a long time, the hunter king said, “Hurry up and clean up the local corpse clan. Leave No one alive. Then, we’ll rush to the Taiji civilization immediately.”
“Hehe, I remember that the Taiji civilization is an unknown, bottom-tier civilization, right?”? “The Taiji civilization did not even qualify to participate in the conference of the Temple of zodiacal. Now that a hundred years are approaching, I wonder if they will be able to participate in the conference of the Temple of zodiacal again this time
“When it comes to the temple of zodiacal, it is not something that hunters like us can help. Let’s go to the Taiji civilization first. Maybe their civilization is too backward and needs our help in modifying them.”
Su Yu quietly left and returned to the demon Moon civilization.
Just as he appeared in the inter-civilization teleportation formation, three strong gusts of wind blew over.
“It’s me.”Su Yu reminded, and the three gusts of wind suddenly stopped. The two earth elders’pleasantly surprised voices followed, “At least the sect master is safe and sound. We were worried to death!”
It would be strange if they were not worried. After Su Yu left for three months without any news, the battle within the immortal Phoenix civilization erupted again. It was very difficult for the sect master’s strength to be safe and sound.
Now that he had returned, his heart was finally at ease.
Su Yu nodded and asked, “Has a white-furred corpse and a human woman ever left?”
Shaking his head, the two Earth elders indicated that they had never met before.
Su Yu frowned. If that was the case, then the corpse emperor and Lan Yue had used the meteorite to escape. If that was the case, it would be very difficult to find their tracks.
“Sect master, are the hunters still alive?”The two Earth elders asked. As they had expected, there should not be many hunters left.
Two months ago, the large-scale fluctuation of the battle had completely stopped. It should be the last struggle of the hunters.
“Let’s return to the sect first.”Su Yu wanted to return before the hunters arrived at the Taiji sect civilization.
“What about the two of them?”Elder di pointed at Yun Qianshuang and the young girl.
Su Yu glanced at them and said, “Bring them back together.”
One year later.
Taiji sect.
It had been three years since they left. The main city of the Taiji sect was still the same as before, which made Su Yu and the others feel slightly relieved.
It seemed that the human demon had not made a move yet.
However, it was only on the surface.
Sweeping across the Taiji sect, one could feel the gloomy and depressing atmosphere.
The disciples were either in a hurry or frowning.
The Yin-yang elders were not doing their job. They were talking to each other in groups of twos and threes, full of worry.
Even some Earth elders were not in the mood to maintain the sect. They were running around, exchanging magical equipment, talismans, and other items.
Even the most boisterous commandment peak in the past was gloomy at this moment.
The law enforcers of commandment peak were either in seclusion or busy refining spiritual artifacts.
In addition, the entire city of the Taiji sect was also inexplicably depressed.
The market, which used to be lively in Japan, was now full of people. Even zhencui hall, which was very quiet even with Zhanneng, was also full of people.
Some people with a small fortune took out their life savings to buy things that they were not allowed to use normally.
The most popular was the elixir shop. All kinds of mainstream daily consumed elixirs were almost sold out.
Even if they were sold at ten times the usual high price, there were still many martial artists who bought them.
The strange scene made Su Yu frown slightly.
After leaving for three years, something had happened that made people panic.
When she appeared in the Taiji sect, the first person to sense it was Mo Xiaochai. Her usually smiling face was full of fatigue. At this moment, she managed to pull herself together and said, “You’re finally back.”
Soon after, the old woman and the Earth elders rushed back one after another.
However, when they looked behind Su Yu, there was no one other than the two unfamiliar women. Their eyes dimmed one after another.
It seemed that the sect master’s plan to find the hunters had failed.
To be exact, they did not have much hope in the first place.
It was one thing to be able to find the hunters, but it was another thing to be able to ask them to help.
Now that they had returned empty-handed, it was not out of most people’s expectations.
“Has the human devil come out?”Su Yu asked.
Mo Xiaochai shook her head.
“Everyone is in a panic. Could it be that the news of the human devil has spread?”Su Yu’s face was slightly cold. “Who spread it?”
He had repeatedly stated that the news of the human devil was only known to their higher-ups and must not be spread.
What he was guarding against was the current chaotic scene.
But in the end!
“The news has indeed spread, but it’s not us.”Mo Xiaochai’s face was filled with anger and helplessness. “It’s the Star Alliance Chamber of Commerce.”
Upon hearing that it was the Star Alliance Chamber of Commerce, Su Yu did not seem to be surprised.
With the Star Alliance Chamber of Commerce’s omnipresent intelligence ability, it was not difficult for them to obtain news of the appearance of the human demons.
“Why did they do this?”The two Earth elders asked in puzzlement.
Su Yu did not say anything. He looked at the market, which had skyrocketed in popularity, and a cold light flashed in his eyes. He wondered how many people in this market were secretly controlled by the Star Alliance Chamber of Commerce?
The current situation where prices were abnormally high and buyers were numerous was what the Star Alliance Chamber of Commerce was looking forward to, right?
Taking advantage of the chaos to wantonly plunder money and then running away before the destruction of the Taiji civilization?
Such a commercial trick was too simple.
“Spreading the news is only the first step. The Star Alliance Chamber of Commerce has also sent experts to negotiate with us.”Mo Xiaochai didn’t know whether to be happy or worried.
Su Yu said in a low voice, “It’s a negotiation. Let them take care of the human demons. We will pay a certain price.”
Mo Xiaochai knew Su Yu’s wisdom and wasn’t surprised that he could guess it. She said, “Yes.”
The Taiji sect should be very excited to have a strong warrior willing to take action. There was only one possibility for them to be worried.
The price demanded by the Star Alliance Chamber of Commerce was abnormally high. They could not afford it at all.
Su Yu did not even bother to ask them about the terms of the negotiation. He said, “Now, open the Taiji sect’s treasury and distribute the daily resources at a fair price to calm down the prices.”
If this continued, all the wealth of the Taiji civilization’s warriors would be emptied out by the Star Alliance Chamber of Commerce.
Even if the human-demon incident was appeased later, the Taiji sect civilization would fall into a long period of poverty.
Everyone was surprised. Mo Xiaochai’s face tensed up. She said, “No matter how many things the Taiji sect’s treasury has, it can’t withstand the long-term consumption of the entire Taiji sect civilization, right?”
Su Yu shook his head lightly. “There’s no need for that. If we persist for a month, we can make the profiteers of the Star Alliance Chamber of Commerce lose all their money.”
More than 90% of the current prices had been hyped up.
Su Yu did not need to investigate in detail to confirm that before the prices rose sharply, the people of the Star Alliance Chamber of Commerce must have wantonly hoarded goods at higher prices than usual, resulting in a situation where the prices in the entire market were extremely low.
And because of the extreme shortage, an ordinary medicinal pill could fetch ten times the previous price, and an ordinary talisman was seven or eight times the price of the past.
As long as the Taiji sect sold the daily goods at the usual price, the Star Alliance Chamber of Commerce would not dare to sell the goods in their hands anymore.
Because their purchase price was definitely higher than the usual price. If they dared to sell, then they would lose as much as they sold.
As long as the Taiji sect persisted for more than a month, a new batch of daily necessities would be continuously refined and sent to the market, filling up the scarce goods once again.
At that time, all the goods that the Star Alliance Chamber of Commerce had accumulated would be smashed into their hands.
They would either stay in their hands and become moldy, or they would sell them at a loss.
It could be said that this was a war without any smoke.
On one side was the five-star Taiji sect, and on the other side was the Star Alliance Chamber of Commerce.
“But with our foundation, it’s impossible for us to last for a month.”Mo Xiaochai shook her head. She knew what kind of situation the Taiji sect’s treasury was in.
“Moreover, I don’t quite understand why you want to open up our Taiji sect’s treasury. Why don’t we take the opportunity to sell some goods at a high price and earn a lot of God Stones to replenish our Taiji sect’s foundation?”Mo Xiaochai’s idea was also what most people thought.
Su Yu sighed helplessly. It was a very simple reason. Did he need to explain it?
Yun Qianshuang, who was behind him, explained rather disdainfully, “Su Yu, why are the subordinates of the civilization under your jurisdiction all short-sighted? Don’t they have such foresight?”
