#1867 - Chapter 1862 Gu Changhuan's speculation

The so-called variable is the human race, and Gu Changhuan knows this well.

In just one or two hundred years, the Mahayana cultivators of the human race have sprung up like mushrooms after a rain. Although they cannot yet compare with powerful races with deep historical foundations such as the Feather Race and the Mountain Ghost Race, the number of Mahayana cultivators already makes them a veritable powerful race.

However, the human race is located in a remote area, making it difficult to intervene in the wars between the Barbarians and the Feather Race.

Unless only the human race's Mahayana cultivators take action to gain benefits.

But if this is the case, there may be disputes when dividing the spoils in the future.

After all, for large and powerful races, the most important resource is territory, and there are no barbarian branch tribes near the human race, and it is far from the Mountain Ghost Race, making it difficult to obtain territory through concessions and compensation.

Therefore, for the human race, it is better to pick on the soft persimmons around them than to intervene in the battles between the Barbarians and the Feather Race. At least those small and medium-sized groups are much easier to deal with than the Feather Race or the Barbarians.

On the other side, Hu Yan smiled, but his eyes never left Gu Changhuan, obviously wanting to infer something from the changes in Gu Changhuan's expression, such as the human race's attitude towards this war, and what means they might take in the future to expand their territory.

However, Gu Changhuan couldn't say these things, after all, the human race is not yet unified internally, and his prestige is not as good as Shang Ming's; the Donggu Dynasty will naturally continue to expand outwards after a period of time, but Gu Changhuan can't guarantee what other human forces will do.

Therefore, Gu Changhuan just smiled:

"Although there are many variables in this world, the principle of the strong preying on the weak will never change.

The Barbarians have been patient for many years and have risen again. Maybe they have really accumulated enough strength to do so. Ordinary races and forces are too risky to enter the arena rashly;

It's better to be like your trading company, which can maintain neutrality and earn spirit stones, which makes me a little envious."

Seeing that Gu Changhuan meant to change the subject, Hu Yan smiled and followed suit.

The span of conversation between the two Mahayana cultivators was obviously extremely wide. Whether in terms of time or other aspects, Hu Yan, as the manager of the Sunflower Trading Company, was naturally knowledgeable and had a broad vision; although Gu Changhuan was somewhat lacking in exploring news and secrets of the spirit world, he was proficient in several immortal cultivation arts and had dabbled in some of the secret techniques of alien races, so the two gained something from chatting.

Especially when Hu Yan heard Gu Changhuan say in person that he could draw ninth-order spirit talismans and refine ninth-order elixirs, he was surprised and sighed,

"Although our Sunflower Trading Company also has ninth-order alchemist masters and ninth-order spirit talisman masters, it is the first time I have seen a junior like Emperor Gu who is proficient in several immortal cultivation arts at the same time.

I think Emperor Gu will show his great style at this exchange meeting."

Gu Changhuan smiled. Compared to the polite smile he had when he first met Hu Yan, his aura became much more relaxed and peaceful after chatting with Hu Yan a few times, and even his tone of voice became much more easy-going. He asked with great curiosity:

"Speaking of which, I still don't know what kind of spiritual objects Fellow Daoist Hu is holding this exchange meeting to obtain?

Why don't Fellow Daoist Hu tell me first?

Let me broaden my horizons."

Hu Yan is the manager of the Sunflower Trading Company, but he still needs to hold an exchange meeting to find the spiritual objects he needs, which shows that the things he needs are not ordinary things, so Gu Changhuan did not dare to say that he could provide the things Hu Yan needed or help inquire about news.

Because in terms of collecting or inquiring about news of spiritual objects, Gu Changhuan is really not as good as Hu Yan now.

On the other side, Hu Yan was stunned when he heard Gu Changhuan ask this, then remained silent for a moment and said with a slightly embarrassed expression:

"This... it's actually not a rare treasure;

I just need some spiritual objects that can enhance the combat power of cultivators to replenish the treasure house and prepare for the subsequent auction, but the trading company can't gather them all at once, so I have no choice but to resort to this strategy.

After all, I, a junior, still have some connections in this Northern Continent."

Gu Changhuan found this very interesting, and in an instant he understood that what Hu Yan said was probably an excuse. This exchange meeting was just a middleman for Hu Yan, and the person who really needed the spiritual objects could not show his face, so he entrusted Hu Yan. As for who they were, you could easily guess by thinking about the current situation in the spirit world.

But this was good news for him.

But on the surface, Gu Changhuan still pretended to be regretful and said:

"That's a pity. The spiritual objects I brought this time don't increase the combat power of cultivators. It seems that Fellow Daoist Hu needs to find what he needs from other alien races."

In the following days, the Mahayana cultivators who came to participate in the exchange meeting successively arrived at Wuyakou. Until the day before the official start of the exchange meeting, Gu Changhuan sat on the top of the guest palace, looking forward at the distant peaks, but his divine sense quietly extended to the surroundings.

If it had been before, Gu Changhuan would have found it difficult to imagine that there could be more than thirty Mahayana cultivators gathered in just such a mustard seed space. No wonder Hu Yan did not invite the Barbarians to participate in the exchange meeting. If these Mahayana cultivators really fought because of a disagreement, Hu Yan's fox den would probably be destroyed in an instant.

"The Mahayana cultivators of the Feather Race are also here. This is really interesting."

If Gu Changhuan's previous guess was true, and this exchange meeting was really planned by Hu Yan to help the Barbarians, then many of the spiritual objects flowing into Hu Yan's hands at this exchange meeting would eventually appear on the battlefield of the Barbarians and the Feather Race. I just don't know what kind of expression the Mahayana cultivators of the Feather Race would have if this scene really happened.

And the Mountain Ghost Race, they haven't taken action yet, and I don't know what they are waiting for.

They can't really wait until the Feather Race is completely defeated before attacking the Barbarians, can they?

If the Barbarians take over all the resources of the Feather Race, it will be troublesome.

After all, the high-level cultivators of the Barbarians can quickly consume those resources and transform them into combat power in a short period of time, and then continue to point the spear outwards. This is what is meant by using war to support war.

Thinking like this, Gu Changhuan tapped the glazed tiles with his index finger. Even if he didn't use any force or operate his true essence, there would still be a dense crack with each tap.

Fortunately, this palace is not only built of various building materials, but also has formations and restrictions to stabilize it, otherwise this one tap would be enough to destroy the main hall under Gu Changhuan.
