Chapter 3394: The Secret Behind the Revival of Ilfarun

————It will be later~

————Caught up to 3393, will make up four chapters tomorrow

Xia Duo even felt that the reason Divine Envoy Richi proposed this second, high-consumption plan might still be to provide insurance for the Adamantine trade between him and the Kingdom of Radiance.

After all, it is the Kingdom of Radiance that needs Adamantine more right now, while Xia Duo has little demand for Holy Light Crystal; in such a situation, wouldn't the trade between the two sides be at risk of stopping at any time?

Even if it didn't stop at any time, it would to a large extent be manipulated by Xia Duo. One must know that both sides currently only have the intention of trade cooperation, and the specific details still need to wait for Xia Duo to go to the Kingdom of Radiance to discuss in detail!

If a demand for Holy Light Crystal in the Mortal Plane, or rather, a demand from Xia Duo, were artificially created, it would objectively be beneficial for the Kingdom of Radiance to regain a slight advantage in the subsequent trade negotiations between the two sides.

As a Divine Envoy, Richi completely has such a motive.

However, Xia Duo is not repulsed by such a motive, because he also wants to strengthen the cooperative relationship between the two sides. He is very covetous of those specialties of the Kingdom of Radiance; although they are not necessities, they can greatly enhance and improve the quality of life.

The most typical example is the Celestial Wheat that can also be produced in Xia Duo's own Shenguo. This wheat can serve as a staple food while also restoring a Spellcaster's energy.

The effect is no weaker than common potions or incense, and because it is food, other than the side effect of potentially overeating, it has absolutely no side effects.

On the contrary, those common potions and incense all have some side effects to a greater or lesser extent; using them too much will not only reduce their effectiveness but may also trigger mental problems, such as hallucinations or dissociation.

Bread made from Celestial Wheat can be eaten continuously as long as one is not afraid of being stuffed, and it remains effective; this alone surpasses countless potions.

The most critical point is that the cost is extremely low, at least for Xia Duo. The Celestial Wheat produced in his own Shenguo basically has no cost, as it is just ordinary wheat in the Shenguo.

It is nothing more than transportation costs, and he can smuggle it through his Personal Space, so there is basically no transportation cost.

But his own Shenguo doesn't have many people yet, and the output needs to be prioritized for his own use. What can be provided to Xia Duo is not much, only enough to satisfy Xia Duo in giving benefits to those around him; he cannot even manage to popularize it among the members of the Tower of Time.

In this situation, if one wants to obtain more Celestial Wheat, the only way is to import it from the Kingdom of Radiance.

And besides Celestial Wheat, the Kingdom of Radiance has more specialties, such as the Akandor Fruit that Xia Duo previously saw in the Golden Dragon District of the Holy City of the Kingdom of Radiance, which can bear various different fruits when watered with various emotions.

Even if these specialties are not sold externally and are only consumed within the Tower of Time, that is also excellent.

It is just that, in the eyes of the Divine Envoy, these specialties are still not necessities for the Mortal Plane and simply cannot compare to the Kingdom of Radiance's demand for Adamantine.

Thus, the so-called Permanent Purification Field was artificially created as a long-term demand for Holy Light Crystal.

For Xia Duo, this is actually fine. If there is such a demand, he can also very conveniently convert Holy Light Crystal into the currency of the Mortal Plane.

In fact, the Kingdom of Radiance also uses Gold Coin, but because of the development of the Giant Mithril Mine in the Grey Peak Mountains in the Main Plane, gold will only flood the market in the future and will not tighten. Settling trade with the Kingdom of Radiance using Gold Coin does not have much impact in the short term, but in the long term, the continuous devaluation of Gold Coin is equivalent to him constantly suffering losses.

And it is impossible for Xia Duo to demand that the Kingdom of Radiance accept his Blue Gold Coin. He once showed Divine Envoy Richi the Blue Gold Coin produced by the Territory, but Richi completely ignored the Order Force Mark on it and only judged it by the value of the Blue Gold Coin itself.

The result can be imagined; although the cost of the Blue Gold Coin itself is very low, Richi's evaluation was even lower.

Daxia Territory does not yet possess enough credibility for the Kingdom of Radiance to acknowledge it. In this situation, Blue Gold Coin is naturally useless, and what remains is to settle with physical goods or Holy Light Crystal.

Pricing with physical goods is troublesome, and the physical goods the Kingdom of Radiance can provide are mostly those specialties, and most of the specialties have shelf lives. The Kingdom of Radiance can ship them infinitely, but Xia Duo is even more impossible to accept them infinitely.

Once they cannot be converted into actual gains, he would suffer a huge loss.

In this situation, the only choice left is Holy Light Crystal, which has actual utility value and can also be stored for a relatively long time.

Originally, even if the Kingdom of Radiance did not take the initiative to create a demand for Holy Light Crystal for him, Xia Duo would have found a way to create demand in the Mortal Plane himself.

It is just that what he thought of was very simple: develop Holy Light Artifact as medical equipment, then open a Hospital, first opening it in the Territory, then opening it to the various countries of the Northland and even the entire Main Plane. Medical care is a demand of life that will never go out of style.

In this way, Holy Light Crystal could be converted into the currency of the Mortal Plane or exchanged for Blue Gold Coin.

Now there is one more new use—the Permanent Purification Field, but this use has a somewhat high consumption of Holy Light Crystal, almost locking in the lower limit of Xia Duo's Adamantine trade with the Kingdom of Radiance.

But once this matter is accomplished, it can likewise be converted into his influence and voice within the Northland Alliance.

What does a purification method that has no other conditions for use besides money mean? It means that Demon Bloodline may very likely no longer be a point of discrimination, and might even become a sought-after trend.

The most troublesome point about Demon Bloodline is that once contaminated, it is very difficult to remove. Once this difficulty is solved, Demon Bloodline actually possesses many benefits.

If one doesn't like one bloodline, one can purify it and change to another; with the purification field present, one is not afraid even after many attempts.

Xia Duo thought of this point; could it be that Divine Envoy Richi had not thought of it?

However, Xia Duo very tactfully did not mention this topic. Once mentioned, Richi, as a Divine Envoy, might have to make considerations in this regard to prevent Demon Bloodline from becoming a trend.

If it is not mentioned publicly, then this matter is completely in compliance with the various regulations of the Kingdom of Radiance, and no one can say a word of "bad" about it.

The Doctrine of the Lord of Radiance makes people obey the law and obey order, but it does not consider the purpose of legislation or the good or evil orientation of order at all. This is also the biggest disagreement between Xia Duo and the Lord of Radiance; Laidun lost part of his Divine Grace due to his influence.

Right now, Divine Envoy Richi's choice may also be an inevitable choice under this background.

Therefore, even if the Permanent Purification Field is built in the future, he will still impose restrictions on purification through different channels, such as increasing the price of Holy Light Crystal, limiting the number of purifications for each person, and so on.

This is also a form of value guidance—Demon Bloodline can indeed be utilized, but it must never be viewed as normal; otherwise, one is not far from complete corruption.

Sometimes, Xia Duo even feels that if Abyssal Power were not so chaotic, perhaps it would be easier to spread and easier for the masses to accept!

But once it loses its chaotic attribute, can Abyssal Power still be called Abyssal Power?
