Chapter 397: The Way of Making Wealth

Jinwu City, inside the highest-grade VIP room of the trade fair.

Su Ping controlled Yun Kong, facing the three sacred and great phantoms appearing before him with neither servility nor overbearingness.

These three Heavenly Immortal Realm powerhouses, if evaluated within Pot Heaven, would also be high-ranking figures of the Ninth Tier.

Even if they were only Avatars.

They could easily destroy a world and temporarily alter the rules of a certain Shikong Haiyu.

The Heavenly Immortal who came from the Dao Alliance was a thin, old Daoist with crane-white hair and a youthful face.

He called himself Tianxin Daoren.

He wore a tight-fitting gray Daoist robe; if not for the extraordinary aura he was actively radiating, he would easily be indistinguishable from the masses.

The one who came from Fomen was a big-bellied monk.

Draped in a golden Kasaya, he sat upright on a glittering golden lotus Dharma Artifact, looking seemingly harmless to both humans and animals when he smiled.

He styled himself Jinlian Shangshi.

The Demon Alliance sent a five-clawed true dragon that was snow-white all over.

It was named North King Dragon Lord.

One could tell from the title alone that this Dragon Lord held himself in high regard and possessed great ambition.

He dared to name himself after the entire Shikong Haiyu.

Yet, the other two chose to tacitly accept such a title.

Su Ping guessed that among the three Ninth Tier powerhouses who had arrived, this North King Dragon Lord was likely the most formidable one!

Even as an Avatar, the North King Dragon Lord's original size exceeded 100,000 meters.

But as he approached the trade fair, his size suddenly shrank to a thousand meters, then a hundred meters, then ten meters.

By the time he arrived before Yun Kong, he was already only a little over three meters long.

Though his size was small, his true dragon majesty was not diminished in the slightest.

It scanned Yun Kong once, discerned some of his background, and spoke with surprise in its heart:

"Extreme Cold Spirit Body? No, it is much higher than a Spirit Body; it can be called a certain kind of Immortal Body."

"Interesting. Such a constitution is not known to us; you should not belong to the North King Time Domain, right?"

Facing the inquiry, Yun Kong nodded honestly.

His true self was a companion from Pot Heaven, and according to the background data, he was also a person from another parallel world.

He indeed did not belong to the North King Time Domain.

Seeing Yun Kong nod so readily, the three big shots all had the thought that it was just as they had expected.

Then, they got straight to the point and raised the questions in their minds.

The first was how Yun Kong successfully avoided Decay pollution.

The second was whether there were any hidden details regarding the aftermath.

Regarding this inquiry, Su Ping also raised questions in return.

He wanted to know what state the North King Time Domain was currently in.

Why were spatial Spirit Objects so popular?

The three big shots communicated via divine sense, all treating Yun Kong as a representative of some Great Ability of the same realm from another Time Domain.

Upon considering his origin, they understood his confusion.

After communicating in secret, the old Daoist spoke up to clear his doubts.

The North King Time Domain had not been peaceful for the past thousand years.

Of course, it was not entirely the fault of the Dark Catastrophe.

Looking at the entire North King Time Domain, the Dark Catastrophe had only ravaged insignificant areas.

Even though the recent reappearance of Decay had attracted attention, it was currently limited to just that—attention.

What truly concerned the Three Great Alliances was that some problems had arisen in the ruins of an Ancient Immortal King deep within the North King Time Domain.

This forced them to divert a large portion of manpower and resources to deal with the riots caused by those ruins.

Collecting spatial Spirit Objects was also for the purpose of refining relevant spatial Artifacts to better handle the ruins.

That was all they could tell Yun Kong; as for the details, he shouldn't even think about them.

Relying on Yun Kong to hear this, Su Ping felt slightly relieved in his heart.

It seemed he had overthought things; the idea that the North King Time Domain would never be peaceful again just because he appeared was overestimating himself as a butterfly.

The North King Time Domain was not facing an extinction crisis; he could lie low here to recuperate, and by the way, strive to find high-tier Fishing spots... this was simply too great!

After learning the secrets he urgently wanted to know, Su Ping relayed all the details he knew regarding Decay.

Especially that Decay might awaken in the near future, and he also relayed all the mad ravings of the Decay believers.

Of course, he would naturally not reveal the whereabouts of the two Artifacts.

As for why he witnessed the whole scene yet was not polluted by the power of Decay.

Yun Kong extended his right hand, palm facing upward.

He revealed a crystal containing the power of exorcising cold ice.

"It is actually an innate talent for exorcising demons and removing evil."

The old Daoist and the Shangshi both revealed a trace of curiosity and envy.

The North King Dragon Lord did not care much, only confirming that this power could indeed ensure one was not polluted.

They believed a small part of what the other party said.

Afterward, the few of them exchanged glances.

Accompanied by a cry of "My Buddha is merciful."

That Jinlian Shangshi then prepared to take action to invite Yun Kong to reside temporarily within the Buddha Realm.

Until the Great Ability behind him appeared, so as to negotiate with this visitor from another domain.

Yet unexpectedly, after Yun Kong finished exchanging information.

He immediately smiled slightly, and followed Su Ping in canceling the Memory Illusion.

And right in front of the three Avatars of the Great Divine Ability holders, he disappeared straightforwardly.

The entire process was extremely fast.

Even if that North King Dragon Lord had sensed something, he was powerless to do anything.

Jinlian Shangshi and Tianxin Daoren looked at the empty seat.

Both were shocked to the core!

"The person who just spoke with us... was actually just an illusion?"

"An illusion? So lifelike and like a physical entity; no, it was an illusion that was fundamentally no different from a physical entity! What kind of innate divine ability is this!"

"This old Daoist does not know, I only know that it would be fine if it were an innate divine ability."

"If it were a technique cast by someone else... a technique capable of deceiving all of us, what kind of powerful Great Divine Ability holder would the caster have to be?"

"The Immortal Kings of the ancient era were probably only at this level, right?"

"There can only be one Immortal King in a single Time Domain."

"And to become an Immortal King, one must first establish the Heavenly Court and condense the Ten Thousand Immortal Seal."

"Why don't you all, for the sake of the future of the North King Time Domain, assist the Dao Alliance in rebuilding the Heavenly Court?"

"Hmph, why can it not be rebuilding the Demon Court? The last time it was your Daoist sect, the time before that it was the Fomen, it should be our Demon Clan's turn to produce a Demon Clan Immortal King!"

After speaking, the North King Dragon Lord turned and left the Golden Crow World.

The other two were old acquaintances; after exchanging a smile, they were in no rush to leave, instead staying in Jinwu City under the guise of discussing matters, while quietly slacking off.

Of course, slacking off was one thing, but they still reported the important news they learned back immediately.

Decay might be an existence similar to the Mother God.

Furthermore, this monster is now about to wake up, and there is the possibility of information regarding believers contaminated by it appearing, and so on.

All of this made the high-level figures of each faction grow grave.

Especially since these high-level figures could see a broader world through their vast intelligence channels.

Because of this, they discovered that the reappearance of Decay was not limited to the airspace that had been sealed previously.

In several places with space-time vortices, Decay contamination had also been detected.

This made them suspect that either Decay contamination zones had been born in other places as well.

Or that the previous contamination zone was spreading through space-time overlaps that they did not yet understand.

"The Decay zones must be dealt with more quickly."

"How to deal with them? Last time we used the Qiuniu Bixi!"

"The other two alliances should know the specific situation by now; share what we know with them, it is impossible for them not to know the severity of the matter."

"Let Tianxin Daoren propose the suggestion again; we shall each dispatch one Great Ability holder at the Heavenly Immortal Realm."

"And each contribute one space Artifact of the Small Thousand World level!"

"At the very least, seal the Decay back in to buy us time to explore the ruins."

"..."

Upon hearing this, they nodded one after another, and then hurriedly busied themselves.

Su Ping, on the other hand, stayed in the Biyuan World feeling relaxed, quite excited as he looked at the large amount of High-grade Spirit Stone obtained from this transaction.

With so many High-grade Spirit Stones, how many large-scale Arrays could this power, and how many Immortal Boats or even Immortal Palaces could he drive?

With High-grade Spirit Stones, one could even directly raise the grade of Spirit Qi within a Spirit Gathering Array.

At the same time, by continuing to use them in large quantities, it was entirely feasible to create artificial Spirit Vein environments among the mountains and rivers of his hometown.

As long as one was willing to spend High-grade Spirit Stones to set up arrays, making the Water Blue Star undergo a pseudo-Spirit Qi revival was not an impossible thing at all.

In addition, combining existing knowledge of Arrays.

Plus the technological knowledge he had self-taught from the Water Blue Star and the Kalo Civilization.

In Su Ping's mind, he already had the idea of refining a starship that combined technology and Immortal arts.

Previously, he lacked the strength.

Now that he had the resources, many things had the theoretical possibility of success.

In fact, in the Solar System over at the Water Blue Star, there was no shortage of resources in terms of various materials.

Whether it was the Moon or Mars, there were rare minerals and other veins, which could be obtained by relying on the Spirit Beasts working hard to refine them.

What the world of his hometown lacked was mainly Spirit Qi and Spirit Stones.

Especially the medium and High-grade Spirit Stones needed to drive large-scale Dharma Arrays or special Arrays!

As it happened, the North King Time Domain had solved this problem.

Su Ping was not just wandering aimlessly in Jinwu City.

He had actually discovered that, besides selling Spirit Herbs.

Acting as an intermediary for resources between the two worlds also allowed him to earn a large amount of surplus value.

To say nothing else, taking out the excess steel alloy infused with Lunar Crystal Powder, there were plenty of Cultivators in Jinwu City wanting to refine puppets or perform large-scale engineering who wanted to purchase it.

Furthermore, mirrors, pearls, and other items placed on the Moon Surface or simply in Arrays within the cosmic starry sky to collect various cosmic radiation.

Would also be purchased in large quantities by those in need as items containing faint star power.

Even those birds and beasts that grew up in a Spirit Qi environment.

Through processed food and beverage products, could also be sold as novel snacks for a relatively good price in the Golden Crow World.

Because in the North King Time Domain, there are perhaps not many among the Daoist and Fomen sects who are fond of gluttony.

However, the people of the Demon Clan are quite fond of it, and especially love meat.

Technology and "ruthless techniques" will not make the people of the Demon Clan feel it is particularly delicious.

But it is novel, so a decent evaluation can still be had.

And since it is just a snack anyway, they will not pursue the ability to improve their cultivation after eating it.

And the most important point is that once Su Ping releases goods, he can move volume, relying on large quantities to obtain considerable Spirit Stone income.

This is something other cultivation forces find difficult to compare with.

And even if there are professional cultivation forces that can match this shipment volume.

They also have a big problem, which is that the profits they earn are shared by countless people throughout the entire sect.

Whereas Su Ping... thinking carefully, apart from giving some Spirit Stones to maintain the consumption of the Dharma Array, and giving some scraps for the spokespeople to earn big money as payment.

The rest of the proceeds all belong to Su Ping alone.

Therefore, after investigating the business environment of the Golden Crow World.

Su Ping began two paths.

One is to use his Primordial Spirit Avatar as the main force, driving an Immortal Boat Fleet, through maps and guidance Dharma Artifacts bought in the Golden Crow World.

Setting off for another trading Small World or Cave Heaven Secret Realm similar to the Golden Crow World.

The goal is naturally to sell high-value space-type Spirit Herbs like the Buddha Kingdom Golden Lotus to achieve overnight wealth.

Su Ping intends to sell in different trading regions, so that after circling around and returning to the Golden Crow World, he can sell Spirit Herbs in the Golden Crow World again.

Thereby, on one hand, avoiding releasing too many goods in one place, draining the local purchasing power in a short time, and driving down the price.

On the other hand, it is also to avoid too much speculation from others.

The other path.

Is for Su Ping's true self to return to his hometown, guiding his hometown to carry out large-scale production upgrades.

Then, by reselling supplies, he can obtain Spirit Stones and other materials in a steady stream.

At the same time, there is another benefit to the true self being responsible for running between the two worlds near the Golden Crow World.

That is, when good things that interest Su Ping appear in the auctions or trade fairs of the Golden Crow World, he can also buy them along the way.

When encountering some special good items that need to be bartered.

Through secret transactions, Su Ping can also take out some of the heavenly treasures he already has too many of for exchange.

In fact, during these few days in the Golden Crow World.

Su Ping also took action in Jinwu City, using the appearance and identity of another avatar, to secure a complete collection of Sixth Realm arrays.

He also took out quite a few heavenly treasures at the trade fair to exchange for cultivation skills and various Secret Techniques involving the Seventh Realm.

The sellers of these skills and Secret Techniques all kindly reminded him that once one reaches the Seventh Realm, the difficulty is on a whole new level.

It cannot be mentioned in the same breath as the Sixth Realm.

A big reason why many of them chose to sell these family legacies is that, apart from the Old Ancestor who passed down the legacy, for thousands or even tens of thousands of years, they still have not been able to produce a descendant who could inherit them.

Then, upon encountering a calamity, they could only prioritize selling these skill legacies that looked incomparably precious but were useless to the family.

Su Ping has confidence in his Immortal Body, and also has confidence in the Fishing System.

Regarding these skill legacies, he can be said to accept all comers.

For a time, it actually made many cultivators at the trade fair who had been trying to sell them for a long time sigh that they had finally offloaded these legacies, and without selling them at a low price.

This way, even after returning to their families, they could openly report their success.

…………

Water Blue Star, Snow Mountain Fishing Spot.

Su Ping successfully fished out another Spirit Light Misty Fish.

But he does not intend to use it immediately.

Instead, considering the number of legacies he has collected.

He intends to use two of them together later, learning those legacies in one go and combining what he has learned to create and fuse a better and more suitable skill path for himself.

And while Su Ping was fishing.

The spokespeople in various places who received the orders also acted one after another.

Large amounts of money were splashed out.

At the same time, many good things in the eyes of outsiders also began to emerge in batches.

While causing shock to Water Blue Star.

It also allowed many people to enter into a new era of dividends.
