Protect Our Clan Leader

Capítulo 2388: Chapter 25: My Lici Is Way Too Fierce? (Part 4)

Moreover, it may directly collapse the refinement of tools, alchemy, formations, etc., of various families, leaving them no way to survive. After all, the inheritance of Sacred Domain’s civilization has not been interrupted, and the average level in areas such as tool refinement, alchemy, and formations is not only higher, but the systems are more complete. The products refined are also diverse and of good quality, and if the prices are cheaper, who would still want to buy the generally high-priced local goods of the Divine Martial World?

This would deal a fatal blow to the related industry chain within the Divine Martial World.

Aside from that, how should the maintenance costs of the Great Shift Disk, personnel organization costs, the channel opening cost of a full twelve Immortal Spirit Stones, and other miscellaneous costs be managed?

Therefore, in the Sacred Domain Development Alliance composed of the Wang family, Yun family, Shentu Clan, and Elder Tian Ji’s Hundred Treasures Pavilion, the goods sold back will be slightly lower than the normal price.

In this way, it can indirectly arm and strengthen various prominent families, and the profits generated can also acquire more funds to purchase more materials from the Sacred Domain to build and enhance more armies and accumulate a stronger foundation.

Furthermore, families like the Wang family, if they have a lot of resources, can cultivate more talents and armies, and can use the extra money earned to greatly encourage the planting of the Wang family’s high-quality Spirit Rice and Spirit Valley, enhancing the income of prominent families.

Various superior Spirit Rice, various minerals, and other basic materials tend to be priced higher in the Sacred Domain. On the contrary, some high-end spiritual medicines are relatively cheaper compared to the Divine Martial World. It’s evident that the development of high-end Dan medicine in the Sacred Domain is more mature than the Divine Martial World, with more developed high-end spiritual medicine cultivation technology and larger industry scale related to high-end spiritual medicine cultivation.

Actually, this is normal.

In the Divine Martial World, high-end spiritual medicines, especially those of the 7th rank and above, have very high requirements for their growth environment. They are difficult to cultivate, have long cultivation cycles, and consume a lot of resources in the cultivation process. Generally prominent families simply do not have the capability or financial resources to cultivate them. To date, only the Imperial Household of various major countries, and prominent families of the First Grade or above in the Immortal-Demon Dynasties, will specifically cultivate high-end spiritual medicines.

And even in ordinary feudal states, no matter how much effort they put in, the number of high-end spiritual medicines they can cultivate is very limited, and they may not even have enough to supply themselves, let alone sell externally.

Even the Yun family’s Hundred Herb Garden, already claimed to be the largest herb garden in the Divine Martial World, has a very limited output of high-end spiritual medicines.

This has also led to the high-end spiritual medicine in the Divine Martial World being in a permanent state where demand exceeds supply, naturally keeping prices high.

In truth, not only high-end spiritual medicines, but items like Codex and Dao-level Items, which have a supply far less than demand, are priced significantly higher in the Divine Martial World compared to the Sacred Domain. As for Immortal Artifacts, they are even more unmatched by price, with hardly anyone willing to sell.

Basic materials, however, are the opposite.

The prices of ordinary Spirit Rice and other basic materials are often influenced by many factors. The more prosperous a place is, the more diverse the moneymaking opportunities, and the profitability of planting ordinary Spirit Rice isn’t high, leading to fewer people willing to plant it. Adding in increased labor costs, these factors combine, naturally making prices higher than those in the Divine Martial World.

Of course, this is just a general statement, as the actual situation is much more complex.

Resources like Spirit Rice and Spirit Valley are renewable, and since they are Wang Shouzhe’s advantage, he naturally has to hold tight to this point.

Of course, as the quantity of various treasures in the Divine Martial World increases, prices will gradually fall over time, eventually reaching balance. This is a normal market self-regulation method and is naturally the best outcome.

However, these are all matters for later discussion, so let’s set them aside for now.

At the current auction, Yun Tiange was bidding too aggressively, wanting to buy almost everything without giving other families a chance, naturally stirring common anger.

“Ahem, Tiange.” Even Wang Shouzhe couldn’t bear watching any longer and sent a message in secret, “Enough is enough, let others have some soup too.”

All sorts of procurement and collecting valuable treasure resources is a lengthy task that requires careful planning to acquire as many resources as possible at the lowest cost. Naturally, there are people specifically assigned to handle this; it shouldn’t be something he and Yun Tiange handle themselves.

Nevertheless, as the last featured item was about to make an appearance, Wang Shouzhe couldn’t resist getting involved in the auction himself.

The reason being, the featured item was a Dao-level Item, and even more amazingly, a Codex.

The Wang family’s Dao-level Items and Codex were numerous but still in very short supply. Don’t you see, in Wang Anye’s Sword Array, to save on Dao-level Items and Divine Spiritual Treasure resources, many of the swords used are still Magical Treasure-level Longswords.

Most crucially, these two items weren’t overly expensive, with the starting price of the sword-type Dao-level Item being only thirteen Extreme Spirits, eventually secured by Wang Shouzhe at nineteen Extreme Spirits. As for the Codex, it was exceptional, starting at the price of one Immortal Spirit Stone and sixty top-quality Spirit Stones, with each bid increase not less than one Extreme Spirit.

Logically, items of this caliber should not appear in an auction of this level.

Perhaps precisely because of this, it drew many prominent First Grade and Super First Rank families. They had all received information in advance, “scraped together” Immortal Spirit Stones, and were all set to add a lineage of Void Realm inheritance to their families.

However, the imagined “fierce” competition never materialized.

When Wang Shouzhe casually raised his paddle and called out the price of three Immortal Spirit Stones, all the families competing went silent.

By this time, Wang Shouzhe and Yun Tiange had completely become the most prominent figures in the auction hall, with countless strands of God Sense covertly sweeping over them both.

“Young master, weren’t we supposed to keep a low profile?” Yun Tiange couldn’t help but chuckle as she spoke to him through the sound transmission, “So you stopped me from buying so you could buy it yourself.”

“It was too cheap; I couldn’t resist picking up a bargain, but it seems I’ve provoked hostility.” Wang Shouzhe laughed.

In the Divine Martial World, acquiring a Codex is not easy. Primarily because each top-tier family typically has only one or two, and they are essential to the survival of the family, they wouldn’t sell their Codex for anything.

Unless the family’s wealth truly declined, or they committed treasonous crimes and had their family properties confiscated, a Codex might flow out. But such a Codex or two will typically be split up immediately, never reaching outside bidders.

“Hostility?” Yun Tiange giggled and said, “In that case, it’s time to initiate the second part of the plan. Forget it; I won’t trap those families who feel unjustly deprived and want to gamble anymore. Otherwise, those families might recklessly head for ruin.”

With that said, Yun Tiange’s smile suddenly disappeared from her face, her entire aura exploding, a breath of vastness rushing towards the sky.

The terrifying pressure of a True Immortal also enveloped the entire audience at that moment, the momentum grand as if it were heaven’s might.

Amid the widespread pressure, her solemn and majestic voice resonated throughout the entire Divine Treasure Hall division: “Such audacity! Dare to use God Sense to spy on my young master? Are you all tired of living?”

“True Immortal Realm!”

The masked woman hosting the auction was trembling so much that she dropped the auction hammer she was holding.

In an instant, everyone present was so frightened they were frozen like cicadas in winter, not daring to even breathe deeply.

No one expected that a True Immortal would appear at an auction of this level.

“No offense, everyone.”

At this time, Wang Shouzhe’s gentle voice also echoed in the Divine Treasure Hall division.

He gracefully stood up, raised his sleeve apologetically, and cupped his hands toward all directions, “That item, the Dao-level item and Codex, just happened to be suitable for a junior in the family, so I impulsively bought them. No disrespect intended.”

Saying this, he glanced at Yun Tiange, his tone slightly reproachful: “Tiange, how many times have I told you, to be more restrained when outside, not to be so domineering.”

In this back-and-forth, the image of a humble and well-mannered mysterious young master had already been established, along with the image of an overbearing and formidable True Immortal maid.

This combination truly sparked endless imaginations.

Especially the masked woman hosting the auction, who focused intensely on Wang Shouzhe, her eyes filled with waves of thought, clearly mulling over something in her mind.
