"Zhao Xigui's team has been forcefully eliminated by the judges."
When Yao Hun's cold and emotionless voice resounded in the void, everyone was taken aback. Their eyes were filled with intense shock as they looked at the black-clothed mentors.
These teachers actually had the right to directly eliminate people. Instantly, no one dared to look down on them.
A thick murderous intent spread from the female instructor's frosty face. Her pair of icy cold eyes indifferently swept across the crowd. The female instructor's voice was devoid of any emotion.
"I'll say it one last time. Anyone who tries to snatch from the safe zone will be immediately disqualified from the competition and lose the right to participate in this competition."
Everyone was silent for a moment. To be honest, this punishment could be said to be the heaviest. Once they were disqualified, all the fighting, effort, and struggle would be meaningless.
Not to mention the spot to cultivate in the ancient sect's sacred ground, even the ancient herbs that they had a high chance of obtaining would be completely lost. It would not be worth it.
Therefore, the crowd quickly dispelled any other thoughts and began to obediently shout in the market square.
"Black Jade Nightshade for Purple Heart Peony. One for one."
"Two Flaming Golden Lotus for one Clear Moon Purple Fairy Flower. We have a lot of time!"
"Bloodwood Mandala for Demonic Blood Mandala. We don't have many chances!"
…
The entire market square once again became noisy and lively. In fact, those who were able to enter the market square were all very strong teams. Some of the medicine tablets that these teams snatched were not what they needed, so they took them out to exchange with others. Therefore, the purpose of this exchange was very clear.
Chu Chen roughly glanced at the medicine tablets in the void and was somewhat disappointed to find that there was nothing that he needed among them.
However, after thinking about it, he understood that there were only two ancient herbs that he needed. The Taboo Willow was a unique herb like the Ancient Blood Golden Ginseng. There was only one of it in the entire Palace of Ancient Medicine. Therefore, it was unlikely to appear in the market.
As for the Divine Abyss Flower, there were only 27 pieces at most. Many people who obtained such a herb would treat it as a treasure or a bargaining chip. They would not easily take it out to exchange.
After going back and forth many times, Tang Rou's pretty face tensed up. She turned around and glanced at Chu Chen. "These tablets don't have what we need. What should we do?"
Chu Chen said calmly, "Shen Hou, why don't you say something and play your role as the team's think tank?"
"Hmm … Right now, I can't think of any good methods." Shen Hou shook his head helplessly. "If we take it slow, we still have two ways. One is to lure them, and the other is to profit from them."
"Oh, what's the lure and what's the benefit?" Tang Rou looked at Shen Hou in surprise. She did not expect this bookworm to have a solution.
"A lure is a lure. Why is there no Divine Abyss Flower in this marketplace? That's because there isn't a medicine tablet that can match the value of the Divine Abyss Flower. In other words, there's no 'incentive' to attract the Divine Abyss Flower. "
Shen Hou squinted his eyes and thought for a moment before he said, "There are only 27 Divine Abyss Flowers in total. Such a small number means that it's extremely valuable. Therefore, some teams won't exchange it easily even if they have this medicine tablet unless they see an herb that's worth the same as the Divine Abyss Flower.
"According to my estimation, there shouldn't be only one marketplace like this. There are at least five such marketplaces in the entire Palace of Ancient Medicine ruins. Therefore, the 'incentive' it contains isn't enough to attract the Divine Abyss Flower. "If we want to increase the 'incentive' here, the first thing we need to do is to turn this marketplace into the biggest one in the ruins. "When this marketplace becomes famous and more students come to trade, the 'incentive' it contains will be enough. Our chances of getting the Divine Abyss Flower will also increase."
"That makes sense. Tell me briefly." Tang Rou was slightly stunned. She could not help but nod. "But how do we make this marketplace bigger? We can't make it bigger just because we want to, right? "
"The attractiveness of a marketplace depends on the value of the items it offers." Chu Chen understood what Shen Hou meant. He smiled and said, "Shen Hou, you're saying that we should take out the Ancient Blood Golden Ginseng to trade and make this marketplace attractive enough, right?"
"Yes."
Shen Hou nodded seriously. "The Ancient Blood Golden Ginseng is a limited and unique ancient medicine. Therefore, its value can be said to be one of the most valuable ancient medicines in the entire Palace of Ancient Medicine ruins. According to my estimation, the total number of unique medicine tablets in the entire Palace of Ancient Medicine ruins won't exceed 30.
"The value of a unique ancient medicine like this is extremely shocking. Therefore, even if a team obtains such an ancient medicine tablet, they won't trade it. Instead, they'll use it as a foundation and a final bargaining chip to wait for the right opportunity. "Once we spread the news that there's a unique medicine tablet in this marketplace, the marketplace's structure and reputation will increase. Then, some students who have the intention to trade will flock over to try their luck. "When more people come, the marketplace will naturally become bigger."
"Oh … I understand now."
Tang Rou nodded with a look of realization on her face. "We didn't release the Ancient Blood Golden Ginseng to trade for it. Instead, we wanted to use its reputation as a unique ancient medicine to attract a large number of students. Then, these students might have information about the Divine Abyss Flower or even the Forbidden Willow."
"That's right. That's what I meant."
Shen Hou nodded. "Apart from the lure, let's talk about profit. To put it bluntly, it's just business. In this marketplace, medicine tablets are actually a form of currency for transactions. In other words, it's a form of 'money'. Since we have money, we can naturally make money with money. "
"Hey, why didn't I realize that a bookworm like you actually knows how to do business?" Tang Rou glanced at Shen Hou with a smile. "I thought you didn't care about what's going on outside."
"He doesn't need to know how to do business." Chu Chen smiled and shook his head. "The students who come here to trade all have a clear goal. They're all here to trade for the medicine tablets they need. We have 17 medicine tablets in our hands. This is equivalent to a huge amount of wealth and capital. As long as Shen Hou can use these 17 medicine tablets to trade for even more valuable and rare medicine tablets, then our wealth will continue to accumulate. "
