Chapter 95: Xu Hui and Wei Mubai, two people who love to use their brains, exchanged glances...
Xu Hui and Wei Mubai looked at each other and felt something was wrong. Master Liaochen was dead?
Could it be Yi Qingxue who killed him? Does she have that ability?
Master Liaochen and Master Jingchen are Buddhist monks, equivalent to Mahayana monks. Who can kill him?
Moreover, he had a golden body to protect him, his soul was immortal, and his body was indestructible. How could he have passed away and left behind relics?
What is going on?
"No, this is just one of the levels of Master's Arhat Golden Body," Liaochen slowly calmed down after being extremely shocked and sad, and felt it carefully before he felt relieved.
The so-called Arhat status has three levels of incarnations: "worthy of offerings", "killer of thieves" and "no birth". Only after cultivating these three golden bodies can it be said that one has truly cultivated the Arhat golden body.
After success, one must work in reverse to cut down the three golden bodies one by one, and ultimately attain the highest level of enlightenment.
He was almost deceived by the familiar aura of the relic, but fortunately he remembered in time that his master should have killed one of the clones.
But even he had not expected that his master's Buddhist teachings were so profound that even his clones could condense relics.
This can only mean that when Master Jingchen killed his clone, he did something earth-shattering and gathered countless merits and fortunes.
Liaochen took the relic, felt it carefully, and wondered, "The relic has only been condensed for more than five years. Strange, nothing major happened four years ago, right?"
He couldn't help but look at Wei Mubai. At that time, he was helping Le Zhong get rid of his inner demons and was not paying special attention to the changes happening in the outside world.
Wei Mubai glanced at Xu Hui inexplicably. It couldn't be her. She didn't have such a big karma. He immediately shook his head and said, "No."
Xu Hui also thought about it. She had just traveled through time four years ago and hadn’t heard of any major events happening!
Lechen thought for a moment, "Perhaps it is in the Demon Realm, the Demon Realm, or the Realm of Nothingness."
Wei Mubai shook his head, "If something big happened, the news would have already come."
Even though there is a boundary wall between the realms, there is still some communication between them. Large families like the Wei family trade frequently and collect information from other realms on a regular basis.
Some small things are fine, but there is no way Wei Mubai doesn’t know about the big things!
Since I can't figure it out, then don't worry about it. As long as Master Jingchen doesn't die, it's fine.
The three of them finally left the cave. Wei Mubai, who was already in the Nascent Soul stage, could take them to teleport. In just half a day, they left the Abyss of the Demon Sea and found the human city.
The city closest to the Demon Sea Abyss is Sangyan City, where humans and demons live together.
This was originally a spontaneously formed trading market where human cultivators and demons would trade regularly. Gradually, the aristocratic families established chambers of commerce to purchase supplies from the demons.
As a family that inherited the Dao of Alchemy, the Wei family not only refines elixirs useful to cultivators, but also refines other elixirs, such as those useful to other races.
Of course, they are not in the same system as the demons, monsters, spirits and other races after all. Their strength is different, and there are very few practical elixirs they can make.
But the amount of elixirs traded by the Wei family every year is a terrifyingly huge number.
This is because the Wei family can refine elixirs specifically for dealing with demons, and it is much easier to make medicine that harms demons and monsters than to help them.
Because spiritual energy and demonic energy cancel each other out, you can just practice with spiritual energy directly. The killing power is much higher than when using it against human cultivators.
It just so happens that seven out of ten of these elixirs are bought by the demons.
What’s interesting is that the demons buy it to fight against the demons. After all, they may not be able to use human resources, but the demons’ resources are definitely useful.
Therefore, compared with competing with each other, competition among different races is actually more brutal.
Therefore, the Wei family ranked first in the trading market of Sangyan City. The only ones who could compete with it were the weapon-refining Mu family and the beast-taming Gongyang family.
The Mu family has a profound heritage in weapon refining. Some of the magical weapons they refine can be driven by demonic energy or other forces.
Especially after adding the magic domain materials, it will get twice the result with half the effort.
The demons cultivate their bodies. Because they are powerful, their physical fitness is more than a hundred times better than that of humans, but they are very weak in various inherited techniques.
The formations for refining weapons and elixirs not only have no inheritance, but even if they do, they are too profound and difficult to master.
And compared to spending time learning these things, practicing and improving their strength is what they should do.
Therefore, the magic weapons of the Mu family are really in short supply.
As for the Gongyang family, they have a secret technique that can give birth to spiritual beasts, and they can inject various spells into the beasts while they are still in the fetus or inside the spiritual beast eggs.
When needed, you can gain the absolute loyalty of the spirit beast by donating blood to acknowledge its master.
This spell is also useful against monsters. If a monster can make monsters fight for him, his strength and safety factor will increase dramatically, so the Gongyang family is also very popular among monsters.
Of course, other families are not useless either, it’s just that their trading volume is not as large.
The Wei family's shop occupies an entire street, stretching for hundreds of meters. It is a huge trading place with nearly 10,000 counters.
Behind each counter, there is a trader, ranging from the Qi Refining Stage to the Foundation Establishment Stage, and even to the Golden Core Stage.
Xu Hui was stunned. "Is the transaction volume so large?"
Wei Mubai only took a glance and explained, "Many demons have just awakened to consciousness and don't understand. They bring all kinds of messy things to trade, so most of them are trying to determine whether the things they bring are useful."
It is understandable that Xu Hui saw a little girl with devil horns, three heads and a body covered in purple.
In her hand was a handful of purple stones, no, or rather crystals, which were shed from her own horns.
Xu Hui stood there curiously and looked. She saw the monk she was trading with put the things on the counter, and then the shadows of many items appeared in front of the little girl.
The little girl couldn't even speak clearly. She pointed at one of the shadows and shouted happily a few times, then looked at the monk with bright eyes.
Without saying a word, the monk took out the purple fruit she wanted from his storage bag and completed the transaction.
Then the formation under the little girl flashed and she was teleported away.
"What is that?" Xu Hui asked hurriedly.
"We have built large teleportation arrays in the Abyss of the Demon Sea and various places in the Demon Realm. As long as you step on it, you will be teleported here. Within half an hour of the transaction time, once the transaction is completed or the time is up, you will be teleported back," Wei Mubai explained.
Xu Hui immediately looked towards the entrance of the trading hall. No wonder she felt a strange defensive barrier when she came in. It was probably to prevent these demons from leaving.
The Wei family cannot control other demons who come to Sangyan City, but for those who make deals with the Wei family, the Wei family must ensure their safety and also ensure that they will not go out and harm other cultivators. This is really a good intention.
But, "How can we guarantee that there won't be demons blocking the teleportation array and robbing people?"
"So once the transaction is completed, a teleportation talisman will be given. After being teleported back, they don't need to leave the teleportation array range. They can simply tear off the talisman paper and be instantly teleported to wherever they want to go."
What a big deal!
Xu Hui was shocked. Whether it was through the large teleportation array in the realm or the teleportation talisman that was given as a gift with each transaction, the cost was sky-high.
If all three families traded in this way, then the Jing family, as a family of talismans, would surely make a fortune.
The only thing Xu Hui didn't understand was, "Why not trade directly with the larger demonic forces? Large-scale transactions would be easier, safer, and more profitable, right?"
If it is a point-to-point transaction, the money for large-scale teleportation arrays can be saved, as can the money for building trading platforms, as well as manpower, material resources, etc.
"The powerful demon clan won't care about the lives of other demon clan members," Wei Mubai raised his eyebrows and said calmly, "and if they have the right to speak, they will have the bargaining power."
Xu Hui suddenly realized that the competition among the demons was very cruel. If they only traded with the big powers, they would not be able to open a shop and make money from magic crystals like human monks.
Instead, they relied on these things to capture or kill the demons that were not within their sphere of influence, and continued to expand their territory.
In this way, the things they sold became tools to help the demonic forces occupy territory.
This is not a good sign!
There are thousands of forces, large and small, in the human world, and everyone "coexists peacefully", and the demons cannot be too unified.
Too much concentration will only increase ambition, which will be detrimental to other realms.
Therefore, it is better for the demon clan to maintain the status quo, with the six major sects in charge, and thousands of small and large forces either dependent on or living together, hostile to each other, and fighting endlessly.
This trading method gives every self-aware demon the opportunity to exchange for survival supplies suitable for themselves, as well as highly lethal weapons, or life-saving magic weapons.
For example, the crystal formed from the horns on the head of the little demon girl just now is useless to the demons, but after being processed by humans, it can be used as a building material. It is very strong and immune to magic attacks.
Of course, there are many materials with such effects. It is not the only one and it is not precious, but it is enough for the little girl to exchange for magic fruit to feed herself.
Through this kind of transaction, the human cultivators can occasionally discover one or two useful species in the Demon Realm that have never been seen before, and they can firmly grasp the bargaining power.
The demons can only trade according to the price given here, and they cannot raise or lower the price, because if they don't trade with them, they can trade with other demons.
In terms of price, the Wei, Mu and Gongyang families are in constant contact with each other. When they discover a new species, they will mark the function and reference price. After that, the three families will work together and may not necessarily lower the price, but the price will definitely be unified.
Whatever the three parties decide, other forces will follow suit. They can choose not to trade, but they cannot trade without following the price set by the three parties!
So in fact, the demons have relatively little say. If they are not satisfied with the price and do not want to trade with the Wei family, the Mu family and the Gongyang family will not trade with them either.
Well, how should I put it, when it comes to using brains, it really depends on humans.
It is estimated that the situation is similar among the demons. After all, although they are more rational and intelligent than the demons, they prefer to act directly and are definitely no match for human cultivators.
Xu Hui suddenly understood why the ten great families had a relationship of both competition and cooperation. The premise of such harmony was that there were other people who were being tricked by them all!
No matter how calculating a cultivator is, he is still a cultivator, not a real businessman. He will not be too harsh and understands the principle of long-term development.
After all, even though humans have good brains, it doesn't mean they are necessarily stronger than demons and monsters. If you piss them off and a fight breaks out, there will be rivers of blood.
After figuring this out, and looking at the demons that appeared and disappeared, Xu Hui suddenly understood why people were willing to trade with just a few stones. After all, what they earned was not enough to pay for the teleportation talisman.
Anyway, I don't expect to earn magic crystals from the idle demons. The real big money has already been earned from the major demon forces.
This so-called trading platform is simply used to control prices.
Just one word, awesome!
Oh, she had forgotten one of the most important functions. Listening to the conversations during the transactions, Xu Hui thought seriously that no matter what realm people reach, they all like to use their brains to calculate.
