I Am Evergreen In the World of Cultivating Immortals - Chapter 166

Chapter 166 War Speculation

Because Zhao Siyao was in retreat, Lu Changan did not visit this time.

After leaving Jinyun Valley.

Lu Changan did not return to Mount Wuqi immediately.

He is going to visit the surrounding Fangshi and Xiancheng to see if he can purchase some relatively low-priced materials.

The news of the Zongmen’s expedition is basically unknown to the middle and lower classes in the world of cultivating immortals.

Before, even some high-level officials were not sure.

Currently, the increase in materials is not that exaggerated, and there is still room for profit.

The first stop Lu Changan went to was “Wufengfang City” in the south of Jinyun Valley.

Back then, Lu Changan had taken Li Erqing to listen to music in the “Baixiangxianlou” in Wufengfang City, including helping Zhao Siyao to repair high-grade magic weapons.

The scale of this square city is relatively large under the fairy city.

Lu Changan uses the identity of an ordinary youth in the “Hundred Fantasy Mask”. On this basis, he makes a little disguise adjustment to add an extra layer of identity disguise.

Maintain the cultivation level of the middle stage of foundation establishment, and receive VIP-level treatment in the large stores in Wufengfang City.

After half a day.

Lu Changan scanned a batch of goods, mainly materials for talismans, pills, and puppets.

The price increase of materials is not small, but not as high as finished products.

The supply of various war preparation materials is in short supply, and it is also restricted by craftsmen, especially high-quality ones.

There is a slight delay in price transmission to materials.

When the news of the war is confirmed and materials are scarce, the price will definitely rise sharply.

During the shopping period, Lu Changan also went to the “Elixir Pavilion” in Wufengfang City.

Back then, when he came to Wufengfang City for the first time, Lu Changan was secretly followed by the treasurer of the Lingyao Pavilion, and was scared away by the sound transmission of his spiritual consciousness.

After so many years, the shopkeeper failed to advance to the Foundation Establishment Stage and passed away long ago.

After inquiring, among the descendants, there is a monk in the late stage of Qi refining, who works as a pharmacist in the Lingyao Pavilion.

Lu Changan’s mind is not that small.

There is no need to take revenge on his descendants or the Spiritual Medicine Pavilion for a trivial matter in the past.

That’s too much of a fuss.

After all, the shopkeeper back then just kept an eye on him and didn’t take any action.

Lu Changan left half a day later.

An anecdote came from Wufengfang City.

It is said that several of the precious medicinal materials stored in the Lingyao Pavilion were inexplicably lost, and the loss was quite large, which caused the owner to be furious.

Extremely fine residue was left on the scene, suspected to be sneaked in and eaten by mysterious spirit beasts.

…

Wufengfang City, two thousand miles away.

During the flight, Lu Changan glanced at the spiritual pet bag.

A orange-purple mouse monster with a bulging belly was belching, stretching its limbs lazily, lying in a pet bag.

Lu Changan smiled, the precious medicinal materials that the rock rats have eaten for several years are not as much as they are today.

Ten days later.

Lu Changan arrived at the Bauhinia Immortal City on the west side of Jinyun Valley.

This fairy city is close to the border of Liang State, and has business relations with the “Jing State” in the Western Regions.

Jing Country is just a small country of cultivating immortals, with poor spiritual resources, and the strongest cultivating force is only the Jindan sect.

The country is branched by the Black Mist Mountains in the north, between the Chen State and the Liang State.

Bauhinia Immortal City, although the geographical location is remote, the value of materials is slightly higher than that of Wufengfang City.

Lu Changan speculated that there are many powerful forces in Xiancheng, and they have a keener sense of news.

Some high-level executives of chambers of commerce may have gotten some wind, but they may not dare to make big bets.

Once the war situation in Feng State changes, or the top leaders of Liang State give up their ideas and invest too much, they may lose all their money.

After purchasing in Bauhinia Immortal City.

Chief Lu flew to Liaoyuan Xiancheng again, and stopped at Mu’s house in Feiyue Lake on the way.

…

At Mu’s house, Lu Changan met Li Erqing and Mu Bingyun.

Having not seen her for many years, Mu Bingyun has matured a lot. She looks twenty-four or five years old, and she has the confident demeanor of a family patriarch and a foundation-building nun.

In recent years, the development momentum of the Mu family has been good, and the industry has expanded steadily. Several stores have been opened in Zhuye Mountain, Wufeng Mountain, and Huanglong Fairy City.

Regarding the reason for the increase in supplies, Lu Changan hinted slightly to the two of them, but did not specify.

Before parting.

Mu Bingyun sent a voice transmission, and wanted to have a private conversation with Lu Changan, asking for advice on cultivation and drawing symbols.

Lu Changan took a look at this slender and slender female cultivator in green dress, as clear and graceful as jade, her starry eyes overflowed with anticipation, reverence, and a hint of hidden emotion.

Lu Changan refused Mu Bingyun’s request to speak alone on the grounds that he was busy.

By Feiyue Lake.

Mu Bingyun stood there, a little lost, watching the figure of the man in white go away.

Thinking of a certain confession made by Master before his death.

She lightly clenched her bare hands into fists, took a deep breath, and tried to muster up her courage, but soon her face was distressed and bewildered.

When Li Erqing saw that lonely figure, it seemed to overlap with a certain figure in his memory.

He sighed in his heart: The two most outstanding and beautiful nuns of the Mu family couldn’t keep that man’s heart.

…

After leaving Feiyue Lake, Lu Changan stopped by Zhuye Mountain to have a look.

Zhuyeshanfang City, the level is slightly lower, no longer the prosperity of the first auction that year.

Fang City’s owner, Fengye Huang’s family, now has two foundation-building monks.

The original foundation-establishment female cultivator “Huang Yingchun” relied on the late-stage foundation-establishment Taoist couple. It is said that she is old and her lifespan is approaching the end of her lifespan.

The cooperative relationship between the two parties is gradually weakening.

The materials purchased by Lu Changan have requirements for grades, and the harvest in Zhuyeshanfang City is not great.

One month later.

Lu Changan went to Liaoyuan Immortal City and Huanglong Immortal City one after another.

Liaoyuan Xiancheng, the price of materials is the highest, so Lu Changan reluctantly bought some high-grade materials for talismans and puppets.

In Huanglong Fairy City, apart from the common parts and fur of monsters, other materials are also not cheap.

finally.

After completing the big purchase, Lu Changan returned to Mount Wuqi.

During the procurement period, Lu Changan did not use his identity.

Actually, in the east and south of Liang State, and even in the area north of the Black Mist Mountains, there are also large-scale Fangshi and even Xiancheng.

Due to the continuous price increase of materials, Lu Changan took advantage of the trend and only went to relatively nearby areas.

…

one year later.

Lu Changan, who was in Wuqi Mountain, got some gossip from the outside world.

It is said that Liang Guoxiu’s world is about to fall into war.

There are different opinions on the specific reasons.

Among them, the most outrageous news is: Yan State’s Wuya Hall has already defeated Feng State to surrender, and it will be Liang State’s turn in two years.

When the news of the war was known even to the maid Lan Rou, it was obviously already widely circulated in various places.

Some unknowing low-level casual cultivators, panicked in their hearts, followed the trend to buy combat supplies.

Some unscrupulous merchants and shops claim not to buy now, and the price will double when there is a war.

As a result, the already high level of combat supplies has increased by a bit.

Materials that were originally slightly lagging behind, all parties were reluctant to sell, and the price rose sharply, on par with war preparation materials.

In this regard, the three peak masters of Wuqi Mountain gathered together to discuss.

Lu Changan and Ye Fei really made a lot of money.

Talismans and pills are consumables in war.

“The growth rate of the array is average, and the concubine does not earn as much as the two.”

Shi Manrong said with a gentle voice and a smile.

The array is not a consumable, and the battlefield is not in the Liang country, but it has increased with some materials.

“Haha, if the price of the formation increases sharply, it will definitely not be a good thing! Fairy Shi should not look forward to it.”

Ye Fei had a drink and joked.

“When Lu earns the spirit stone, he is going to find Master Xianzi to improve the formation of Xiaoguifeng. At that time, I hope to give you a preferential price.”

Lu Changan’s heart moved, and he said hello in advance.

The peak owner of Wuqi Mountain has made a lot of money, but he can’t hide it from those who are interested.

The more you earn, the less stingy your protection.

Fairy Master’s current attainments in formations can already set up quasi-third-order formations.

“Fellow Daoist Lu sincerely takes care of the business, and this concubine gets what she wants.”

Shi Manrong brushed her temples lightly, offered a toast to a glass of spiritual wine, a touching light red appeared on her face like a silver plate.

Ye Fei glanced at Lu Changan and Shi Manrong.

It was discovered that these two peak masters with more senior qualifications occasionally met their eyes and talked happily.

It has been more than thirty years since Shi Manrong lost his memory.

is “reacquaintance”, Lu Changan and this woman have deepened their friendship, and the three views are similar, so it is inevitable that they have a good impression of each other.

In recent years, Shi Manrong and him occasionally meet in private, compared to the dignified and reserved past, they are a little more intimate and gentle.

Lu Chang’an remembered: After this woman came back from hunting the big monster with Huanglong Mountain, she once said that she had recovered the incomplete memory fragments of the ancient ruins, and she did not mention this matter again these years.

…

In the next two years, the intelligence about the war became more and more accurate.

Because, the senior leaders of several major sects have reached an agreement and began to unite the forces of the seven great families, the major fairy cities and the chamber of commerce.

A year or two before the war was about to end, Lu Changan went to various fairy cities to sell the hoarded materials one after another in different identities.

Give priority to selling materials below the second level, followed by materials that have nothing to do with skills.

Finally, there are some old and slightly inferior second-level low-grade talismans and puppets.

Through war speculation, buying low and selling high, refining and selling war supplies, Lu Changan earned huge profits.

Unknowingly.

He has accumulated more than 30,000 spirit stones alone.

This is not counting the batch of high-grade talismans and puppets hoarded in his hands.

A few years ago, Lu Changan earned a lot of spirit stones and purchased materials for refining puppets.

Not counting some trump cards, Lu Changan’s worth is more than that of many fake real people.

Taking Xiang Jinglong as an example, after making a fake alchemy, buying magic weapons, the accumulation in his life was exhausted, and his money was relatively tight.

Secretly, Xiang Jinglong occasionally played a guest role as Jiexiu. Even so, the efficiency of earning spirit stones is far inferior to that of Lu Changan.

According to Lu Changan’s statistics, talismans earned more spirit stones than puppets.

The main reason is that the puppet refining cycle is long, the price is high, and few monks can afford it.

And if you are not a puppet master, or your spiritual sense is not outstanding, it is difficult to exert the true power of a puppet.

…

This day.

The secret room of Xiaoguifeng.

“One hundred and twenty-six years old, with six foundations.”

Lu Changan opened his eyes as black as ink, and slowly closed his kung fu, his white clothes fluttering.

The evergreen mana in the body has increased by 20 to 30% in total compared with the fifth floor of foundation building.

Because it is not a small realm breakthrough, there is almost no difference in the quality of mana.

Using magic tools or spells will not significantly increase the power, which mainly affects long-term combat.

If you go one step further, breaking through the seventh floor of foundation building, stepping into the late stage of foundation building, and becoming a major repair of the same level as the foundation building stage, you will have a qualitative leap in strength.

Whoops!

The big blue tortoise, nearly one foot five in width, rubbed against Lu Chang’an’s breath, courting him affectionately.

Lu Changan understood its meaning.

After leaving the customs, he sat on the back of the Xuanshui turtle.

The black water turtle carried its master, and happily jumped out of the cave, full of spirits, and showed off its power to the rock rat not far away.

The ground rock mouse glanced at the big turtle with disdain, and couldn’t help baring its teeth, feeling a little apprehensive.

Squeak!

It stood in front of the big turtle, much taller than the Xuanshui turtle, and presented a letter in an anthropomorphic manner.

This is a letter from Zhang Tieshan.

The contents of the letter moved Lu Changan slightly.

“The sect of Liang Guozong announced the expedition, Jinyun Valley will send the first batch of monks…”
