Chapter 195: The Pre-sale System of the Cultivation World and the Strategy for Sustainable Development

Half a day later, Yan Taibai, who had left the Tianjing Pavilion for quite some time, spoke up to ask Dayan Shenjun.

"Senior, have you, in your old age, managed to research anything regarding the two Nascent Soul Stage puppets I exchanged for?"

"How long has it even been? Even if I were more formidable, it would be impossible to research anything in such a short time. But in this trade fair, you must, by any means, obtain for me some materials for refining a Nascent Soul Late Stage puppet."

The voice of Dayan Shenjun rang out from the Bamboo Tube at Xin Ruyin's side.

"Rest assured, that is only natural. A Nascent Soul Late Stage puppet, tsk tsk, whether it is for Ruyin to keep for self-protection or to leave behind in the sect later, it is quite excellent."

Yan Taibai chuckled lightly.

The reason he had Dayan Shenjun study the Nascent Soul Stage puppets he had obtained from Tianjing Zhenren long ago was mainly to research the installation method for the "Soul Stone," their power source.

As long as it succeeded, that Nascent Soul Late Stage puppet could also be installed with a Soul Stone. Compared to High-grade Spirit Stones, Yan Taibai had more Soul Stones on him; even if he used them up in the future, he could go to the Void Heaven Palace to get another batch, so this was not a troublesome matter.

"That is good. Once my Nascent Soul Late Stage puppet is successfully refined, you will know its power. Although it is not as good as you, it is more than enough to deal with ordinary Great Cultivators of Nascent Soul Late Stage."

Dayan Shenjun said with great confidence.

"By the way, after this trade fair, you are going to the Falling Demon Valley? There is nothing else, right?"

Dayan Shenjun asked again.

"If there are no accidents, I should be going to the Falling Demon Valley. After all, the number of Falling Demon Valley Tokens being sold and auctioned this time is not a small amount. Therefore, there will be many more Nascent Soul cultivators and Golden Core Stage cultivators entering the Falling Demon Valley. I just don't know how many will come out alive."

Yan Taibai said with concern.

"Probably not many. After all, you know how dangerous the Falling Demon Valley is."

Dayan Shenjun said.

"That is true."

Yan Taibai sighed lightly.

"Why, is there something you are worried about?"

Hearing the oddity in Yan Taibai's tone, Dayan Shenjun asked further.

"It is nothing. Although it might happen, with me here, even if all the other Nascent Soul cultivators and Golden Core Stage cultivators were to perish in the Falling Demon Valley, there would be no problem at all."

Upon hearing this, Yan Taibai thought for a moment and said.

"What do you mean? Do you mean that the Tiannan Cultivation World might be in big trouble? If they all perish in the Falling Demon Valley, you will need to handle it alone?"

Dayan Shenjun guessed the meaning behind Yan Taibai's words from just a few fragments.

"That is about it. After all, enough time has passed since the last time the Mulan Tribe invaded the Tiannan Cultivation World for them to continue their invasion. Especially after being tossed about so many times, although the Tiannan Cultivation World has gained someone like me, the number one person in the cultivation world, the overall strength of each sect and family is in a state of near-collapse, especially with the loss of two Great Cultivators of Nascent Soul Late Stage, Hehuan Laomo and Zhiyang Shangren. Now, only Wei Wuya of the Nine Nations Alliance remains. And the Mulan Tribe has at least three or four Great Divine Masters equivalent to Great Cultivators of Nascent Soul Late Stage. With this disparity, even with my help, the Tiannan Cultivation World is going to have big trouble."

"Then why don't you just wipe out a few of the Mulan Tribe's Great Divine Masters? That way, without you needing to act, the Mulan Tribe's mortal enemy, the Tutu Tribe, will wipe out the remaining Mulan Tribe. However, if that happens, the Tutu Tribe will inevitably unify the entire Great Grassland, even if you then wipe out all the Tutu Tribe's Great Immortal Masters. But you cannot stay in the Tiannan Cultivation World forever; you will either Ascend to the Spirit World or pass away in a thousand or two thousand years. By then, without your protection, the races in the Tiannan Cultivation World and the Great Grassland really cannot compare. Although the cultivation resources on the Great Grassland are scarce compared to the Tiannan Cultivation World, it is large enough, and they are almost all tribes, making it easier to join forces. In this situation, if the Tiannan Cultivation World does not produce a few more Great Cultivators of Nascent Soul Late Stage, it is truly impossible to deal with them. One must be on guard!"

Dayan Shenjun spoke eloquently, almost stating exactly what Yan Taibai was worried about.

After all, this is the responsibility of the number one person in a cultivation region; otherwise, one would really think being the number one in the cultivation world is that easy.

"Senior is not wrong; this Mulan Tribe is indeed a trouble, and it is really not suitable to wipe them out completely for the time being."

Yan Taibai sighed and nodded in agreement.

"However, that is a matter for thousands of years from now. By then, I will most likely have Ascended to the Spirit World, and I won't be able to manage the affairs of the Tiannan Cultivation World even if I wanted to. Furthermore, after the Mulan Tribe hears of my prestige, they may not necessarily continue to invade the Tiannan Cultivation World; they will at least have to wait until I pass away or Ascend to the Spirit World."

"That may be so, but Brother Yan must still be on guard."

At this moment, Xin Ruyin, who had finished listening to the conversation between Yan Taibai and Dayan Shenjun, spoke up.

"Indeed, I must be on guard. Then we shall see if the Mulan Tribe is truly stupid enough to intend to invade the Tiannan Cultivation World at this time. If they are truly that stupid, then I will take action and wipe out their Great Divine Masters as much as I can."

Yan Taibai said in a deep voice.

"Good, that is how it should be." Dayan Shenjun laughed.

Subsequently, the three of them discussed the Falling Demon Valley and this trade fair again.

At the same time, Tiantian City, this number one city of cultivators in Tiannan, and the only city of cultivators, had two "uninvited guests" arrive.

One was a middle-aged Confucian scholar with a slender figure, and the other was a young woman with slightly revealing clothing and slightly dark skin.

"I heard that the number one person in the Tiannan Cultivation World, Taibai Zhenren, has already arrived in this Tiantian City and is currently with people from his sect, selling Falling Demon Valley Tokens everywhere at various auction houses. This item can grant the qualification to enter the Falling Demon Valley. Brother Zhong, should we also buy a few? Anyway, one only costs ten thousand Spirit Stones; it is not that expensive."

The young woman with slightly dark skin asked.

"Naturally, we should buy a few. And it just so happens we can see that Taibai Zhenren and see just how formidable this number one person in the Tiannan Cultivation World really is. However, if it is discovered that I have the cultivation of Nascent Soul Late Stage, it would be troublesome; my identity might be exposed." The middle-aged Confucian scholar said with some concern. "Then just let others help buy them; at most, pay some reward. Or, ask others for a few."

The woman smiled sweetly and maliciously.

"What you say is not wrong, then let's borrow some from others! After all, there should be many such things, and adding us won't cause too much of a stir."

The middle-aged Confucian scholar agreed; this way they could save a sum of Spirit Stones and obtain a sum of Spirit Stones.

It could be called a steady profit without loss, as for whether any accidents would occur.

The middle-aged Confucian scholar was a Great Cultivator of Nascent Soul Late Stage, how could any accidents occur?

The two of them were precisely a Great Divine Master and a Le Shangshi of the Mulan Tribe, one a Great Cultivator of Nascent Soul Late Stage, and one a Nascent Soul Mid-Stage Peak cultivator.

With their cultivation and strength, entering Tiantian City was simply not easy at all.

"I wonder how this number one person in the Tiannan Cultivation World, Taibai Zhenren, compares to that Yinluo Sect Master in terms of strength?"

Le Shangshi opened her sandalwood lips and speculated.

"That goes without saying, it is naturally this Taibai Zhenren of the Tiannan Cultivation World. He directly wiped out two Great Cultivators of Nascent Soul Late Stage, Hehuan Laomo and Zhiyang Shangren. Even if the two of them were slightly inferior to the Yinluo Sect Master in terms of divine abilities and strength, they would not have been defeated in the end. For the Yinluo Sect Master to wipe out either one of them, unless he used their Yinluo Sect's Heaven-Reaching Spirit Treasure, the Ghost Luo Banner, it would be absolutely impossible. As for wiping out two Great Cultivators of Nascent Soul Late Stage, even using the Ghost Luo Banner would be impossible. But that Taibai Zhenren wiped out Hehuan Laomo and Zhiyang Shangren one after another, those two Great Cultivators of Nascent Soul Late Stage. The disparity is so great that it even made us few suspect that this Taibai Zhenren is actually a Spirit Severing Stage cultivator."

The Great Divine Master surnamed Zhong said with an exceptionally grave expression.

"Therefore, this time we must investigate the situation clearly. Even with the help of the Yinluo Sect, we must find a way to make this Taibai Zhenren unable to leave the Falling Demon Valley for the time being. As long as he is kept in the Falling Demon Valley for a while, or forever, it is a good thing for our subsequent plans. If he is outside, I am afraid that even if we few Great Divine Masters join forces with the Yinluo Sect, we might not be able to trap him. Only by utilizing the Falling Demon Valley is there any hope."

The Great Divine Master surnamed Zhong said in a deep voice.

"But wanting to use the Restrictions and Space Cracks in the Falling Demon Valley to trap him is almost impossible, right?"

Le Shangshi frowned, puzzled.

"Therefore, this matter can only be taken one step at a time. In short, if he is not trapped, we must absolutely not make a move. After all, he alone is equivalent to multiple Great Cultivators of Nascent Soul Late Stage. By then, even if we few and the Yinluo Sect Master use an Ancient Array to trap him, the Tiannan Cultivation World is not without other Great Cultivators of Nascent Soul Late Stage. Not to mention Wei Wuya of the Nine Nations Alliance, even Long Han and Feng Bing of the Heavenly Dao Alliance's Mingluan Sect are equivalent to Great Cultivators of Nascent Soul Late Stage. By then, without absolute strength, we cannot suppress the entire Tiannan Cultivation World."

"If there is really no way to trap this Taibai Zhenren, then we must wait until the Falling Demon Valley ends. This is, after all, the number one most dangerous place in the Tiannan Cultivation World. Once one enters it, not to mention anything else, at the very least seven or eight out of ten will perish. And that Taibai Zhenren is selling so many Falling Demon Valley Tokens this time; by then, the strength of the Tiannan Cultivation World will inevitably drop significantly. It can be said that this Taibai Zhenren has truly helped us quite a bit!"

The Great Divine Master surnamed Zhong of the Mulan Tribe could not help but exclaim.

"That's right, Brother Zhong is correct. This time, that True Master Taibai is selling at least a thousand Falling Demon Valley Tokens, and adding those from before, in other words, at least one-fifth of them are Nascent Soul cultivators. And once they enter the Falling Demon Valley, how many will actually be able to come out alive? Therefore, this time we only need to wait until the matter of the Falling Demon Valley is over. It will still be in time for us to launch an invasion of the Tiannan Cultivation World; in any case, we have plenty of time."

Le Shangshi also said in deep agreement.

The trade fair officially opened, and many cultivators from all over Tiannan poured into this city of cultivators. The auction house in the city began auctioning various treasures on the second day of the trade fair. The many rare items in the hall attracted numerous wealthy cultivators.

"Five hundred Falling Demon Valley Tokens, fellow Daoists, don't miss out as you pass by. Ten thousand Spirit Stones per token, fair to young and old, all are welcome to purchase."

On the auction stage, Yan Taibai did not have the peerless demeanor of the number one person in the Tiannan Cultivation World at all; instead, he looked like a mercenary merchant who valued money above his own life.

Facing Yan Taibai's words, the Golden Core Stage and Nascent Soul Stage cultivators who had gathered almost half of the Tiannan Cultivation World below all purchased the Falling Demon Valley Tokens at the fastest speed possible. Without the slightest hesitation, just like that, five million Spirit Stones were in his hands.

The speed and quantity at which the Spirit Stones came in made people incredibly envious.

"Fellow Daoists who did not obtain one in time need not worry. There are another five hundred Falling Demon Valley Tokens coming up, but these five hundred Falling Demon Valley Tokens are different from the previous five hundred." Yan Taibai took out another five hundred Falling Demon Valley Tokens and spoke.

"Fellow Daoist Taibai, just say it straight! What is the difference?"

Fire Dragon Child of the Ancient Sword Sect asked.

"Fellow Daoist Lan asks a good question. These five hundred Falling Demon Valley Tokens are all sold via a pre-sale system, priced at five thousand Spirit Stones. You will need to wait for the second time I open the Transmission Array outside the Falling Demon Valley to use them to enter."

Yan Taibai said with a smile words that shocked everyone, "What? Fifty years later? Why, Fellow Daoist Taibai, why is it necessary to wait so long?"

Fire Dragon Child of the Ancient Sword Sect frowned and pressed for an answer.

"Because I just said, this is a pre-sale system. The Falling Demon Valley is truly too dangerous. In the past, those who entered, if not all failed to come out alive, it was close enough. Although this time we can use the Transmission Array to help you fellow Daoists pass through the most dangerous hurdle, the dangers within the Falling Demon Valley are unknown to anyone. Therefore, we absolutely cannot let so many fellow Daoists enter at once, so as to avoid accidents."

"After all, calculating the time, the Mulan Tribe is also about ready to prepare for an invasion of our Tiannan Cultivation World. If too many fellow Daoists are lost, leading to an inability to resist this Mulan Tribe, causing the cities and national territories of the Tiannan Cultivation World to fall, wouldn't I become an eternal sinner of the Tiannan Cultivation World? Therefore, these Falling Demon Valley Tokens, and the subsequent ones, are all five thousand Spirit Stones, and one can only enter the Falling Demon Valley once every fifty years. In this way, it can also ensure that the spiritual herbs and spiritual medicines in the Falling Demon Valley have a certain amount of time to grow, so they won't be picked clean all at once. Our cultivation world must also pay attention to this sustainable development."

Yan Taibai spoke eloquently; if he were not the number one person in the Tiannan Cultivation World, these words alone would have been enough for the many Nascent Soul cultivators present to join forces and beat him up.

But precisely because he was the number one person in the Tiannan Cultivation World, the many Nascent Soul Stage and Golden Core Stage cultivators all had to listen obediently to everything he said and even applaud.

"Fellow Daoist Taibai is right, our cultivation world must also pay attention to that sustainable development." The first to echo Yan Taibai was none other than Lv Luo of the Luoyun Sect.

"That's right, that's right, Fellow Daoist Yan's words are very true."

Fire Dragon Child also echoed.
