Chapter 128: Scarcity Venerable Canglan was really imprisoned for a hundred...

Venerable Canglan was really imprisoned for more than a hundred years, although he himself did not realize it. After his spirit was separated, he took the initiative to go into seclusion for nearly two hundred years. He was almost at the Mahayana stage before he was pulled out by the elders of the Wei family.

He can’t stay in seclusion any longer. If he continues, the child will become stupid. But he has already developed a pure and indifferent character!

His fighting ability is at the ceiling level in the world of cultivation, but he is a person who doesn't care about anything.

How strong is he? The first thing he did after coming out of seclusion was to follow the map and challenge those well-known Mahayana cultivators. He won seven and lost three, and became famous in the entire cultivation world.

No one could have imagined that he could challenge a Mahayana master before reaching the Mahayana stage!

Such a powerful fighting force is really incompatible with the Wei family, which always looks gentle and elegant.

He is recognized as the strongest fighter in the Wei family, and because of this, many people are more wary of the Wei family's strength.

Of course, this is not true. After Venerable Canglan came out of seclusion, the first person he challenged was his own elder, and the chances of winning or losing were 50-50. Therefore, there must be someone in the Wei family who can suppress him, otherwise they would not be able to pull him out of the secluded cave.

But his personality is really a headache. After confirming his own strength, he... doesn't care about anything anymore, and doesn't even have any desire to ascend.

Wei Mubai chuckled, "When the Rabbit Clan elder left, he told him to practice hard so he wouldn't be bullied. Senior Canglan listened and agreed, and so he also practiced to the point where he wouldn't be bullied."

Xu Hui: ...

It’s hard to put it into words!

"No, is this how you raise children in the Wei family?" Raise your child to be naive and obedient only on the surface?

The words left by the elder of the rabbit tribe were probably related to her own experience. The rabbit tribe was bullied by the demon tribe, so she had such concerns and hoped that her child would be strong enough.

So after Venerable Canglan discovered that he was strong enough, he felt that it was enough.

Did he never think that the underlying meaning of the words was that they hoped he would keep moving forward and ascend to become an immortal?

"Senior Canglan is special," he is special in that it is best for him not to meet too many relatives and friends with other surnames, otherwise he will lose his life!

"Back then, this comment was made by the Zhang family's destiny master, and Venerable Haotian paid a great price to invite him specially. But the Wei family is so large, from ordinary disciples to elders, and relatives and friends from other families are everywhere. If he is not imprisoned, if it comes true, the best outcome is the severance of the path, and the worst is death. This is the consequence of eliminating the demon bloodline and changing fate against the will of heaven."

"Is it possible that this foreign relative refers to...the Rabbit Clan?" Xu Hui thought for a moment and said, after all, he was born with someone else's bloodline, but he wanted to be eliminated. So, he owed the Rabbit Clan and his mother the karma, right?

"Yes," Wei Mubai answered straightforwardly. It was obvious that they were aware of this, but "the thread of cause and effect is linked to the entire body. Once the catastrophe begins, it will come in all kinds of unimaginable ways. The cause may be on the rabbit tribe, but the entangled thread of result will continue to be involved and will come to Venerable Canglan through various means."

"So the approach you took was... to make sure he never sees outsiders again!"

Xu Hui thought about it for a long time, but couldn't figure out whether this was good or bad.

This reminded her of a question she had been curious about when she was in school. When Lin Daiyu was a child, the lame Taoist priest and the Lai Tou monk ran to the Lin family and warned Lin Daiyu's parents that if they wanted her to be healthy, they would not allow her to see relatives or friends other than hers from then on.

At that time, she wondered if Lin Daiyu had not gone to the Jia family, would her fate be different?

Now that we have seen the real version, Venerable Canglan was truly protected impeccably. Apart from his somewhat indifferent temperament, he even avoided the destined karmic calamity. Can this be considered a success, right?

It's just this indifferent and cold temperament...

Xu Hui secretly glanced at the young man who was concentrating on meditation and was indifferent to everything.

Yes, he cultivated too fast and still looked like a teenager. If the elders of the Wei family had not seen the opportunity and suppressed him, he would probably have been like Master Jingxu and remained a child forever.

Pointing downwards, he said, "Your Excellency, aren't you here to shake things up? What about this?"

It is said that Venerable Canglan is the ceiling of the Wei family's combat power, so his presence here is truly a deterrent by force of force.

But that old man in the Mahayana stage clearly used his intimidation to warn everyone not to fight with him. Isn’t that a violation of the rules? Why didn’t he take action?

Wei Mubai's eyes were calm as he said calmly, "I've already reached the top of the Mahayana stage, why should I follow the rules?"

"Uh," Xu Hui was stuck.

That's true. They have reached the ceiling level and there are not many rules to restrain them. If they are really provoked, the worst that can happen is that they kill everyone and then ascend to heaven directly, and no one can seek revenge.

"But we also have Mahayana cultivators," Xu Hui looked at Venerable Canglan again. Isn't this his role?

Wei Mubai nodded, his tone still calm, "Yes, so he paid ten top-grade spirit stones."

After saying that, he looked at Xu Hui with a smile and asked, "What were your expectations before?"

"Hiss!" Xu Hui suddenly remembered, it was five yuan!

Originally, exchanging one top-grade spirit stone for one pill was already a profit for them, because it was unique, a new secret realm was about to be opened, and the premium of the life-saving pill made them pay five top-grade spirit stones.

But this person bought it at twice the price, which was quite a favor to the Wei family.

The reason why he pressured everyone and did not allow them to raise the price was not for himself, but for the other people who would want the top-grade elixir next.

By doing this, he determined the quality of the top-grade pill. The maximum amount should not exceed ten top-grade spirit stones. If there are more, other big guys can learn from him and show their pressure.

Therefore, there was no movement in the boxes on the second and third floors, because this move was also beneficial to them!

He is doing everyone a big favor!

But it just so happens that the Wei family, which seems to be at a disadvantage, is the one that profits the most.

The price of five to ten top-grade spirit stones is a very high reward.

But being characterized like this by the old man made it seem as if the Wei family suffered a loss. They could have sold it at a higher price, but all the big guys followed suit and did not allow the price to exceed ten top-grade spirit stones.

Imagination is the most boundless. When everyone saw how fierce the competition for the top-grade elixir was, and how it was abruptly stopped by the boss at the climax, they couldn't help but imagine, if he hadn't done that, to what extent would the price have risen?

Fifteen dollars, twenty dollars?

This kind of free imagination will definitely make people feel regretful and sympathetic to the Wei family. They finally got the treasure they had kept, but because there were too many big guys, they had to compromise and sell it. How pitiful!

However, this is purely a joke. How could the Wei family be pitiful?

The Wei family made a lot of money, okay?

If a top-grade elixir really costs more than ten top-grade spirit stones, few people would be willing to make up their minds to buy it, especially since a batch has already been privately traded to major families.

They have already obtained ten top-grade Qi-replenishing pills and ten top-grade rejuvenation pills. Is it necessary to pay such a high price to buy some more?

If they retreat, the price will not go up. There are only a few big guys like the old man who can easily take out ten top-grade spirit stones. Most of them have support behind them.

Or you can join together, invest together, and buy one each.

The combination of the top-grade Qi-replenishing Pill and the top-grade Rejuvenating Pill is of course incredibly effective, but when used separately they are also first-rate life-saving medicines, so you won't lose out by getting either one!

But if the price exceeds expectations, even if they want to pool their money, they may not be able to do so.

The final result was that everyone reached a tacit compromise. When the price was set at three or four top-grade spirit stones, they stopped bidding. This was convenient for others and themselves as well.

The final actual transaction price will definitely not be as high as it is now.

After hearing all the twists and turns here, Xu Hui was stunned. Wow, she exclaimed, Wow, it turns out that being able to cultivate to the Mahayana stage is all due to scheming.

You think they are using their power to bully others, but in fact, there are many trade-offs behind it.

But Xu Hui was puzzled, "They should be able to see it, so why are they still cooperating?"

They are all smart people, and no one is as stupid as her, unable to see the logic of interests behind it.

"Because this pill is worth it!" Wei Mubai chuckled.

"I know, of course they're worth it, they're life-saving goodies!" But that has nothing to do with her question, right? Or maybe it doesn't matter much!

Let me put it this way, every family has top-grade pills, twenty in total, so saving your life shouldn't be a problem.

What's more, they don't just want top-grade Qi-replenishing pills and top-grade rejuvenation pills. The Wei family alone has more than 180 kinds of precious pills. Although they are not as good as top-grade pills, they are enough as long as they are not fatal or face the test of life and death.

There is no need to spend a lot of money to grab the survival resources that we already have, right?

"What they are snatching is not survival resources, but the distribution of benefits!" Wei Mubai stared into her eyes and said word by word, "There are only so many top-grade pills. If you take one more, others will have one less chance to survive. When you reach the new secret realm, you will have the confidence to take more risks and snatch more resources!"

Xu Hui was stunned and murmured, "So, paying a high price for the top-grade pills is not to save one's life, but to reduce the chances of others saving their lives!"

"Rare natural treasures are often unique. If you have the courage to fight for them at all costs, even at the risk of your life, you'll have a better chance of obtaining them!"

Those ordinary resources can be handed over to the cultivators below. When it comes to the Severing Spirit Stage and the Great Perfection Stage, what they want is first-class resources, right?

The vast majority of them are unique, so if one less person possesses a top-grade pill, you will have one less opponent!

Xu Hui: ...

Wow, that old man in the Mahayana stage raised the price to double, it turns out he was not just giving face to the Wei family.

They are also eliminating dissidents. It's your fault that you don't have the ability to produce enough top-grade spirit stones. So just accept it.

Before the new secret realm is opened, we have already tried every possible way to eliminate potential opponents.

She once again witnessed the rules of the cultivation world. In addition to strength, one also needs brains!

she......

Well, some things just don’t come into being just like that.

But she liked to imagine things, so she leaned close to Wei Mubai's ear and whispered in a voice that was small enough so that everyone in the room could hear it, "Did anyone try to kill him before or after the secret realm opened?"

You see, in order to enter a secret realm, everyone has made preparations on their own, and the supplies on them are definitely enough. It is a good opportunity to get rich by robbing others.

After the secret realm is closed, those who come out will surely gain unimaginable benefits. If you don’t grab them now, when will you?
