"I, the Spring and Autumn Immortal King, hereby declare that from this day forward, both the Two Realms Seas shall be under my control! All forces that are stationed here and engaged in trade shall pay an intermediary tax!"
"Taxes and fees, amounting to one percent of the transaction amount, will be covered by this king to ensure the transaction proceeds smoothly! There's no need to worry about any other unforeseen circumstances!"
"Anyone entering this place to trade must exchange credits through my Penglai Chamber of Commerce..."
"Those who have lived in this world for generations, below the level of immortals, are all my subjects. All the resources for cultivating to the level of immortals will be provided by me!"
"Anyone above the Immortal Realm can work for the Penglai Chamber of Commerce; wages and rewards are governed by separate rules..."
......
The sound uttered by Ye Feng could be clearly heard throughout an area spanning 60 billion li.
Even with the aid of the territory's defense system, the sound traveled far and wide, becoming clearly audible even across the four surrounding fragmented landmasses. (The Two Realms Sea itself is a flat landmass, and the four surrounding large fragments are also flat landmasses, connected by a continuous body of seawater.)
The issuance of nearly ten regulations in succession sparked discussion among everyone.
Standing outside their territory, the various races of humans and demons gazed at the dark, clearly defined barriers ahead and couldn't help but whisper among themselves.
"This Spring and Autumn Immortal King, whose territory is less than a third of the Central Continent of the Two Realms, actually claims that the entire Two Realms Sea is under his jurisdiction..."
"Nonsense, someone at the Immortal King realm can control such a large area with their formation, and their influence can extend dozens of times over. What's the problem?"
"Hmm...that's true. However, the territory in the Two Realms Sea will soon be ready for refinement or the establishment of blessed lands. At that time, it will probably cause a fierce struggle!"
"And then there are these tax regulations. In the past, everyone traded freely, but now we have to give up some of our profits. I'm afraid no one will compromise so easily. You know, the five islands on the Central Plains all have powerful Immortal Kings backing them up. These people can leave the formation and trade outside without any problems!"
"There is still an impact. Previously, the five Immortal Kings each monopolized the businesses of their own country and clan. Other smaller forces that came to trade were intercepted by them, and most of the profits went into their pockets... Now that the island has been occupied, and they are only charging one percent of the fees, these smaller forces will definitely choose to trade in Penglai!"
Upon hearing this, everyone's eyes lit up.
Yes, if these small factions start trading in the future, won't they lose their monopoly?
They can sell their own things for the same high price as before, but without any Celestial King forces vying for them... while buying other people's things, without any suppression, will definitely be cheaper!
Everyone realized this at the same time, and their eyes lit up.
Whether one is an earth immortal or a celestial immortal, resources are indispensable.
The blessed land needs various spiritual plants that can bring spiritual energy, as well as spiritual springs, spiritual mines... The addition of each item will enhance the owner's strength, making it easier for them to comprehend more laws of power.
What the two great void empires need most are spatial treasures.
Although they could enter the spatial secret realm, its location was, after all, on the Immortal Realm continent, so their chances of obtaining spatial sand were pitifully small...
Of course, the two great empires also benefited; the Time Realm, which was no different from the Spatial Realm, existed in the void.
Other factions that want the Sands of Time can only trade with the two great empires...
There are also spirit races, demon races, and countless local specialties!
Some have suggested that since the outside world is so vast, one could cross over to Penglai and trade freely there.
However, this claim was quickly met with disdain from the crowd.
Without the five races acting as mediators, aren't you afraid of being directly murdered and robbed? Belonging to different races, if you're killed, no one will stand up for you...
Besides, the safe place is right here, and they only charge one percent of the fee. Who would risk trading outside?
"The territory of the Five Immortal Kings has been occupied, and they will certainly not let it go. Let's see if Penglai can withstand the siege of the Five Immortal Kings... If it can really withstand it, the Two Realms Sea will probably be crowded with people and bustling with activity in the future!"
Although everyone was very much looking forward to what would happen next, they were also hesitant and dared not go in easily.
If the five Immortal Kings come... then there will truly be nowhere to escape.
The Spring and Autumn Immortal King was, after all, just one person...
Just as everyone was pacing outside, a voice came from inside the formation again.
"The Penglai flagship store is temporarily located on the Demon Island. One month from now, it will sell 100,000 high-grade Void Sands. Registration will begin in three days, first come, first served! In addition, all customers who purchase will be entered into a lottery for ten top-grade Void Stones!"
These words caused an uproar among the crowd. A single grain of intermediate-grade Void Sand was enough to allow a Mystic Immortal to open a grotto-heaven and become an Earth Immortal.
A high-level Earth Immortal's Cave Heaven can expand tenfold to reach the Celestial Immortal standard, allowing them to refine a Void Territory and directly transform it into a Cave Heaven!
Top-grade hollow stone.....
Needless to say, just look at those creatures that have desperately escaped the formation and are now rushing back in at high speed.
——
It takes 1,000 trading points to upgrade a low-grade grain of sand to an intermediate grade, and 10,000 to an advanced grade.
One hundred thousand high-grade empty sand grains can be obtained by upgrading the low-grade sand twice, totaling 1.1 billion trading points.
Although he doesn't have that many trading points now, he won't be short of them in a few days!
With the territory system now complete, trading points are being collected steadily.
At first, there were very few transactions, but once everyone saw that the formation could be freely entered and exited, a large number of transactions began.
Now that the island belongs to someone else, it's hard to say what will happen in the future... Therefore, the five tribes have had to drastically lower prices and start selling off their islands.
In a short time, Ye Feng had collected tens of millions of transaction points.
The current trading rules still have some loopholes, but these loopholes are biased against him.
The system specifies a scheme that uses trading sentiment as the statistical basis for trading points.
In other words, what would normally cost a spirit race member tens of millions to purchase a human's magical artifact, Ye Feng can now acquire his desired product for only five million.
This Elven race member saved five million and felt immense joy... This five million could be instantly converted into trading points and received by him.
On the other hand, the seller's bottom line is four million. If the transaction is successful at five million, they will still receive one million.
But if this Eldar spends eleven million to buy something, then I'll get nothing at all...
Even if the buyer makes six million, a transaction that doesn't satisfy both the buyer and seller is still not considered a successful one!
Just like now, with the five tribes selling off their shares, there are many transactions, but he hasn't received any trading points.
To consistently generate trading opportunities, it's necessary to keep prices within a reasonable range.
A sharp price reduction won't work, as the seller won't be satisfied; a price increase won't work either, as the buyer won't be satisfied.
Now, we handle everything ourselves, charging only a 1% transaction fee, eliminating intermediaries and allowing for free trading.
Perhaps, in the long run, the value of an item will infinitely approach its intrinsic worth.
I wonder if this will drive down prices worldwide...
Thinking of this, Ye Feng couldn't help but laugh at himself. The area of the Immortal Realm was boundless, and he had only occupied the space of one planet. He dared to dream of driving down the price of the universe. What a fool's dream.
