Chapter 865: Making a Fortune

The four teachings went to war in full scale, causing the Fengshen Jie to escalate completely.

Everywhere in Honghuang, there was slaughter.

Beyond the slaughter, the four teachings also formed alliances and played politics, dragging one force after another that had originally stayed out of the conflict into the fray.

In terms of scale and level of warfare, it might not yet compare to the Witch-Demon Calamity.

But in terms of pure chaos, it was absolutely second to none.

Even the Primordial West had become chaotic, because there were also sects of the Jie Sect established there after hearing of Tongtian Jiaozhu.

The Fengshen War escalated in full, yet two people were secretly happy.

One was naturally Haotian.

During the Fengshen War, everyone who fell had to be on the Investiture of the Gods, and in the future, they would be the the Heavenly Court Heavenly General.

Haotian was naturally not afraid of the terror of the Fengshen Jie; on the contrary, the more terrifying it was, the better.

The other person was Yin Qi.

For one, the Human Race needed to rise, and the various Saints and various teachings were the greatest obstacles.

The more of them died, the happier he naturally was.

Secondly, because the Fengshen Jie had escalated, the demand from all sides for cultivation supplies such as Pill, Dharma Treasure, and so on had surged, from the lowest-level Qi Refining pills to the highest-level Daluo Immortal Pill.

As long as they were listed on the Primordial Mall, they would be snatched up instantly.

In order to purchase more cultivation supplies, various forces successively brought out the foundations they had accumulated over tens of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands of years, to sell on the Primordial Mall, and then purchased various finished goods needed for cultivation.

This included the Jie Sect, the Chan Sect, the Ren Sect, and the Western Sect.

Although their foundations were deep, Alchemy and Artifact Refining required people.

Saints were not omnipotent, able to refine countless pills and Dharma Treasures in a single thought.

This made Yin Qi extremely happy.

To cope with the demand of the entire Honghuang, he parked the Warship in a Time Array within his Inner Heaven and Earth, and added hundreds of new production cabins inside the Warship.

The production capacity for Pill, Dharma Treasure, Talismans, Puppetry, Array Formation, and the like increased by hundreds of thousands of times.

But even so, it could not satisfy the demand of the entire Honghuang.

Consequently, Yin Qi could only keep raising prices.

But even with prices raised tenfold, or even a hundredfold, it still could not dampen people's enthusiasm.

After all, these were precious resources that could improve cultivation and save one's life; previously, they were hard to buy even with Spirit Stone and Immortal Crystal, let alone now when one needed to save their life.

By purchasing raw materials to produce finished goods, he could obtain dozens, or even hundreds of times the profit.

The higher the grade of the finished product, the higher the profit.

In the Primordial Mall, Yin Qi was the largest resource purchaser and producer of finished cultivation resources.

But to avoid detection, he had Immortal Tomb create hundreds of millions of accounts.

Through this industrial price scissors, Yin Qi rapidly seized massive amounts of resources and wealth, especially the raw materials for refining Seven-Turn Golden Pill and Twelfth-Tier Evolution Fluid.

There were even higher-grade ones.

This made Yin Qi suddenly realize that compared to the Primordial Mall, the speed at which the Martial Hall collected resources was simply pathetic.

Besides Yin Qi, various industrial magnates within the Yin Shang territory also made a fortune.

They frantically expanded production capacity, but limited by talent proficient in the Immortal Cultivation Hundred Trades, they could only frantically poach people, leading to a sharp rise in the status of talent proficient in the Immortal Cultivation Hundred Trades within the Yin Shang territory.

In fact, they had also thought about poaching from various industrial zones belonging to the Imperial Court.

But the result was that they found they couldn't poach them at all.

It wasn't that the Imperial Court didn't allow it, but that the cultivators in these industrial zones were basically trained by the Imperial Court, and many owed cultivation loans; they could not jump ship until they had paid them off.

………

While the fighting was intense across Honghuang, it was very calm before Jiepai Pass.

Although he had taken the Seven Revolutions Soul Returning Pill, Jiang Ziya still had to recuperate until the end of the year to be considered initially recovered.

And to fully recover, it would take at least four or five years.

This was only because he had taken the Seven Revolutions Soul Returning Pill; otherwise, if it had been another Immortal Pill, even if it could save Jiang Ziya, he would likely have had to recuperate for hundreds or thousands of years.

Although Jiang Ziya had initially recovered, he was not in a hurry to deploy troops.

For one, it was nearly the end of the year, and the soldiers were weary of war. Secondly, it was because Yunzhongzi and the others had not yet fully recovered.

Especially the four Golden Immortal of Buddhism who had abandoned their physical bodies; they needed time to re-refine their physical bodies.

Condensing a physical body was simple, but re-refining one required time.

They needed to raise their physical bodies to the corresponding level; otherwise, if the physical bodies were too weak, they would not be able to withstand the intensity of their combat.

According to Jiang Ziya's estimation, they would have to wait until May or June of next year to deploy troops again.

Not only because Yunzhongzi and the others needed to heal and recover, but the Xiqi army also needed to rest and heal; they had suffered hundreds of thousands of casualties from the bombardment by the Warship and the Yin Shang army.

Cultivators below the Immortal Dao could be replaced, but cultivators above the Immortal Dao needed to wait for them to recover.

………

Time flowed like water, and nearly half of the fourteenth year of Di Qi had passed.

The various Vassal State in the south had already completely integrated into Yin Shang.

Please... collect... this... book...!

The development of Yin Shang in all aspects was also getting faster and better; not only was it not affected by the Fengshen War, but it actually profited from the Fengshen.

Dozens of industrial magnates with assets exceeding one hundred million Immortal Crystal had appeared.

These industrial magnates, whether in terms of strength or influence, were no longer weaker than many large sects within the Yin Shang territory, and basically all had several, or even over ten, Heavenly Immortal presiding over them.

……

Zhaoge.

The Yang family.

Yang Jian walked out of the Practice Room.

Four years had passed, and at sixteen, he had grown into a heroic youth nearly two meters tall, with a sturdy build, sword-like eyebrows, star-like eyes, and a faint vertical mark between his brows.

That was the Divine Eye he had cultivated using the power of his bloodline.

"Second Brother, did you break through?"

"Second Brother, have you become an immortal yet?"

Seeing Yang Jian emerge from seclusion, Yang Jiao and Yang Chan both hurried forward, their eyes filled with anticipation.

Although Yang Jian was stern, he could not hide his smile at this moment, and he nodded, saying, "Yes, I have finally broken through and achieved the status of Earth Immortal."

"That's wonderful!"

Yang Jiao and Yang Chan were both incredibly excited.

Cultivating to become an immortal in four years—even among All Sects, this would be considered Top-tier talent.

In reality, the three Yang siblings all possessed excellent natural talent.

After all, their mother was an Innate Stage immortal spirit.

Yang Jiao had already cultivated to the middle stage of Nascent Soul, and Yang Chan had reached Golden Core Peak; although they did not lack various cultivation resources, their cultivation levels were essentially achieved one step at a time.

People like them, who achieved success through their own cultivation, had potential far beyond those who relied on popping pills.

Even though the Golden Core series and Evolution Liquid series would not stifle one's potential or leave behind any sequelae, the mental dependency was very hard to break.

Yang Jian smiled slightly and said, "Big Brother, Little Sister, you must also cultivate diligently. When we achieve success in our cultivation in the future, we will not only rescue Mother and storm the Heavenly Court to settle scores with Haotian, but we will also avenge our Master."

The Master he spoke of was naturally the "Yang God."

If it hadn't been for their Master back then, they would have already perished at the hands of the the Heavenly Court Heavenly General.

Although their Master had not taught them much personally, he had left an immortal spirit in their Mobile Phone, and for these years, it was the immortal spirit that had been guiding their cultivation, answering any doubts with great detail.

If not for the guidance of the immortal spirit, it would have been impossible for him to cultivate into an immortal in just four years.

"Mm."

Yang Jiao and Yang Chan both nodded repeatedly.

Yang Jian continued, "Big Brother, Little Sister, I have now cultivated into an immortal. According to what the immortal spirit said, immortals and mortals belong to two completely different cultivation realms and worlds.

On the Primordial Continent, becoming an immortal only represents stepping across the threshold of immortal cultivation.

To continue advancing courageously from here on, hard work alone is no longer enough; one needs to comprehend the Dao and temper oneself through life-and-death tribulations, therefore..."

He took a deep breath, his eyes shining with Divine Light as he said, "I have decided to join the army." (End of this chapter)
