Chapter 94: Monopoly Price Increase
"It seems that some people are unwilling to accept it." Zhenren Qingxuan said casually.
As the head of the top sect in the Lingyuan Continent, Zhenren Qingxuan is well-informed and used to strategies. He understood that if it was a general rush to buy and raise prices, Zhenren Jiuhuo would naturally be able to deal with it easily.
Obviously, there is a ghost behind this.
"If I guess correctly, it shouldn't be Taoxianwu and Xuanxing Island, but the Yuanjian Sect that has always been stubborn with us." Zhenren Qingxuan said: "Is they secretly arranged for someone to secretly buy the Foundation Building Pill?"
"The head of the sect is wise and has clear insights. Although it is not possible to confirm the identities of these people 100%, based on several clues found, the Yuanjian Sect is the most suspicious." said Jiuhuo Zhenren.
"They are probably the ones." Zhenren Qingxuan said again: "There are a group of women in Taoxianwu who are not very interested in the dispute over fame and status. As long as we don't provoke them and don't touch their share, they don't have to make trouble."
"Xuanxing Island has always been low-key, but it is very tough. It rarely does such hidden things, and there is no need to come to us. Only Yuanjian Sect itself is not as good as one year, so it is resentful of the Secret Realm Competition. Besides, I heard that they have recently given the position of elders to a child in the Qi Refining Stage, because this son is very talented and a boy with a wealthy fortune. He holds a handful of top-grade spirit stones, and only they have the motivation and financial resources."
"It seems that Yuan Jianmen is determined to win the Secret Realm Competition a year later." Jiuhuo Zhenren stroked his gray beard and smiled: "But they are too anxious and are in a mess. I heard that they even used the reserve warehouse this time."
"Oh? He actually used the base warehouse?" Zhenren Qingxuan was stunned for a moment, then laughed and said, "No wonder they were so panicked to buy foundation-building pills outside."
"Since that's the case, we can also be more clear and raise the price! I remember the foundation-building pills correctly. It is a foundation-building pill with forty top-grade spirit stones, right?"
"Return to the head, the price of a foundation-building pill for forty top-grade spirit stones was three months ago. Now, the secret realm competition of the four major immortal sects has increased significantly as usual. Therefore, it is now sixty." Jiuhuo Zhenren said.
"Since that's the case, you can deal with it like this."
"First: the price rises every day. Ten days later, I need you to give you a foundation-building pill at least 100 top-grade spirit stones. In the end, the price of the foundation-building pill is no less than 200 spirit stones per year. Until the competition of the four major immortal sects is over."
"Second: Limited quantity, available for sale every day, limited to 50 pieces sold per day. If there are too many, no one can be sold."
"Third: Limited to external sales. Except for the needs of our children and relatives, in addition to those who have joined our Shangqing Sect to be licensed. In addition, external sales are strictly prohibited."
"Here." Jiuhuo Zhenren paused and said, "How about banning the black market?"
"No, no..." Qingxuan Zhenren smiled: "The black market cannot be banned no matter what. Although our Shangqing Sect is well-behaved, it must be impossible to resist the wisdom of the clever people who dare to violate the ban inside the door and sell the foundation-building pill."
"What we have to do is just to consume the bottom of the Yuanjian Sect as soon as possible so that they can't use the spirit stones at that time." Zhenren Qingxuan thought, and couldn't help but smile: "I still remember the scene when the old man came here in person. The flying sword refined by the Yuanjian Sect is the best in the world. This time they are so cruel that we can exchange for at that time, naturally there will be many more swords, and it will be cheaper."
"They are really fucking and playful. I don't know how many times they want to fight back, but they never succeeded. This time, the scar has healed and forgot to hurt, and it's here. Okay, Master, then I'll go and arrange it now." Jiuhuo Zhenren laughed and replied.
...
Yan Wu walked in the stall market in Qingguangxu, frowned.
He recently got a task to disguise himself and sneak into the largest market under the name of Shangqing Sect: purchasing in Qingguangxu.
As an old man in Yuanjian Sect, Yan Wu certainly understood what the situation was like now.
When the four major immortal sects competed in the secret realm, the foundation-building pill became the most in short supply in the sect.
Therefore, after he returned to Qingguangxu this time, he found someone to go to the black market to buy foundation-building pills. However, the development of things seemed a bit unexpected.
It was a coincidence that when Yan Wu arrived in Qingguangxu, he saw his old acquaintance Zhao Fei smiling and greeting him in.
"Lao Yan, this time it's so difficult? Even you took action personally? But I want to tell you, you came a little late this time." Zhao Fei is a local snake in Qingguangxu, and is also a famous large herb merchant. There are more than a dozen shops in Qingguangxu alone, operating various medicinal materials, elixirs, weapons and talismans. He is a very energy-rich guy.
"What's wrong? After so many years of relationship, we can't even ask you to wait for me for a while?" Yan Wu picked up the spiritual tea and said slowly without being moved by the other party's words.
"What's the point? What kind of friendship can make you feel wronged? It's because of our relationship for so many years that I specially left you with ten foundation-building pills. How about it? Isn't it fun?" Zhao Fei stared at Yan Wu with sincere eyes.
"Just ten?" Yan Wu looked at Zhao Fei carefully and said leisurely: "Then I brought with me this time, there are probably only three flying swords."
"Hey, don't. Okay, I won't play tricks with you, just be more straightforward." Zhao Fei coughed dryly and said with a smile: "As for these ten foundation-building pills, we are still in the old market and the old price. Just treat it as the limit of our previous friendship. The price of a foundation-building pill with fifty top-grade spirit stones."
"But, if I don't have to calculate the discounted price for those beyond these ten. The current market is growing too fast and has risen to the price of 72 top-grade spirit stones and one foundation-building pill. I really can't sell these to you at the old price. It will lose money!"
"Hmph... Is it the Shangqing Sect another thing? They are not afraid of losing their hands!" Yan Wu complained unhappily.
Zhao Fei laughed and didn't answer this.
People are going to have pain and bleeding. If you don’t complain a few times, you won’t be suffocating.
"Ten...we bought it." Yan Wu sighed lightly for a long time: "But the price of the seventy-two spirit stones is really hard to obtain. This is a top-grade spirit stone, not an ordinary spirit stone."
"That's so boring. Who doesn't know that Yuanjian Sect is a famous wealthy person now? You don't know what kind of fate method it is. You dug a rich and oily top-grade spirit stone vein? Now 70% of the top-grade spirit stones in the world are produced by you." Zhao Fei said jokingly.
"At most of the time, we have a little lower cost. We really have dug up the top-grade spirit stone veins in vain." Yan Wu explained a little, stopped entangled, and went straight to the point: "However, I really can't decide the price of the seventy-two spirit stones."
"Hey, you have to do this, don't blame me for being a brother. I have never persuaded you. Just go out. As long as it gets dark and the days are tomorrow, the price... then it will be more than 72." Zhao Fei persuaded.
"It's too expensive..." Yan Wu sighed.
"Okay, let's hand over the ten first." Zhao Fei smiled.
Yan Wu nodded, handing over the money and delivering the goods with the other.
However, he absolutely never expected that he had just walked out of the door and saw Zhao Fei running out of the shop again.
"Why, I've regretted it? Shangqing Sect will really lose money by doing this. You know, the most common people in the world are casual cultivators. Many talented seedlings are the most short of money now. At this time, such a high price will cause harm to how many people. Sooner or later these foundation-building pills will lose money by." Zhao Fei said with a smile.
Zhao Fei shook his head: "Old guy, if the budget and authority given to you by Yuanjianmen are insufficient, then I think you will only return without success this time."
"I received the news... Shangqing Sect is now strictly investigating the external sale of Foundation Building Pills. We cannot make the original shipment price of 72 pieces. They directly raised the price of Foundation Building Pills to more than one hundred spirit stones within ten days, and it is not only that. Now... many people are reluctant to sell and do not sell at all!"
"How... can this be done!" Yan Wu was stunned.
Zhao Fei sighed lightly: "What you said is true. The Shangqing Sect did make young people suffer too much. But... like this, who can do it?"
"Since that's the case, how much medicine is there in your shop? You can make a price and I'll ask for it all." Yan Wu refused to catch fire and said, "It's not that the Shangqing Sect will ban the sale of medicinal materials in Qingguangxu, right?"
"This is not the case." Zhao Fei said: "Even if they do this, it will be useless."
"The medicinal materials and the finished product of the foundation-building pill are two different things. As long as this medicinal material is eaten by monsters with hands and feet, it will be picked out in the wild. Even if the Shangqing Sect is forbidden, it will only cheat everyone, and they will not be able to get any benefits."
"Although the price of foundation-building pills has risen so rapidly, the increase in medicinal materials is still far lower than that of foundation-building pills. A portion of foundation-building pills was originally about 3 top-grade spirit stones per serving, but now there are only at most 5 top-grade spirit stones."
"You are naturally kind enough to be able to patronize my business. What's wrong with me selling it all to you?"
"After all, our friendship is useful." The two of them entered the living room again, and the tea fragrance restarted. Yan Wu hollowed out the storage bag and put out all the valuable things in his hands.
"I want ten thousand pieces of medicine for the Foundation Building Pill! Let's make a contract now, but... I don't have enough deposit on hand, so I can only pay credit first. But I can make the decision. If the spirit stones are not given enough in the end, you can hold this contract and ask me Yuanjianmen for Foundation Building Pill as compensation." Yan Wudao.
"Oh? That's what you're good enough." Zhao Fei asked, "But what about this exchange rate?"
"Then I will calculate it for you. On your side, if we really can't give you the spirit stones, of course, the more foundation-building pills we give you, the better. According to the current market, one foundation-building pill is the foundation-building pill, one hundred spirit stones are the foundation-building pill. Then I will determine it according to a top-grade spirit stone of fifty foundation-building pills. This number can be regarded as my care for you and my old friendship, how about it?"
"I am worthy of being a good brother, so I'll settle it like this!" Zhao Fei was overjoyed, and he had to hold his face and respond calmly.
"Okay! Sign the contract and make no regrets!" A spiritual simplicity shines, symbolizing the establishment of the contract.
The world of immortal cultivation is not like the earth. The contracts set are all due to the cost of defaulting the contract.
Therefore, unless it is really a waste of life, it is absolutely difficult for ordinary people to regret it.
In this world, the value of integrity and keeping promises beyond imagination.
Therefore, after signing the contract, it is difficult to have any room for regret.
Both of them acted very quickly.
After giving the deposit, Zhao Fei personally handed over the first batch of goods to Yan Wu.
Yan Wu was also very straightforward and set off directly back to Yuanjianmen with the first batch of goods.
Watching Yan Wu leave, Zhao Fei finally released his inner joy.
"I really couldn't imagine... This fight between gods made me get a lot of money. No matter what the price of the foundation-building pill will rise to the sky, at least I will definitely not lose money in my business of spiritual medicine." Zhao Fei was overjoyed.
A few days ago, he expected that the secret realm competition of the four major immortal sects would come again.
Therefore, he spent a lot of money to almost empty his wealth, which expanded his medicinal materials planting base and became almost the largest supplier of ordinary elixirs in the territory of Yu and Yan.
Of course, he did not have an alchemist, nor the strength to refine the alchemy, and could not eat the fattest piece of meat in the rise of Foundation Building Pill.
However, only at the peak of the foundation-building period, he understood that being able to earn some soup from the upstream and downstream profits was enough for him to spend a fat year.
Sure enough, the battle started, which directly increased his value several times.
"This time I save up treasures, maybe I have the chance to break through the Golden Pill Stage. By then, the status of my Zhao family will be consolidated." Zhao Fei's smile almost filled his face.
At this time, a green boy jumped over and saw Zhao Fei in a good mood, and plucked up his courage: "Father, what good thing is there to do, are you so happy? I...I have something to ask my father to take action."
"Oh? It's Jian'er, you said. Being a father is indeed a blessing and a happy life. Our Zhao family is about to usher in a period of great development." Seeing that it was his youngest son Zhao Jian, Zhao Fei brought him over with pleasure.
"It's my classmate... Do you still remember that senior brother named Bo Yiguang? He wanted to go to Shangqing Sect, but Shangqing Sect didn't want it. Now he is going to break through the foundation-building stage and he is in trouble. Child wants to help him." Zhao Jian said.
"Oh? Is Bo Yiguang? I think about it, is it that young man with the sixth grade talent? Hiss, that's a great talent. Shangqing Sect doesn't want it!" Zhao Fei said unexpectedly.
"I heard that countless casual cultivators are now gathering in Shangqing Sect and lined up to see each other. A genius with the sixth-grade talent is not considered a genius. Although Senior Brother Yiguang is very talented, he delayed his practice because he has earned money from working and earning money. As he gets older, Shangqing Sect is a little disliked."
"Not only that, even if you want to join the Shangqing Sect, the conditions are very harsh. When the children heard this, they all thought they were selling their own contracts, which was comparable to slaves."
