The Hardest Way to Endure a Beauty's Kindness
Three hundred thousand Sea Condensing Pills was already enough for Ye Zichen to accumulate a fair bit of wealth. How long would it last?
The answer was: three days!
In just three days, he'd sold all three hundred thousand Sea Condensing Pills. Ye Zichen had to admit, he'd underestimated the wealth and resources of the Lower Lands.
The way he saw it, the pills would last him at least half a month. He hadn't expected them to last less than three days.
However, even after the pills were sold out, the various clans in Ice Blue City no longer came to cause a ruckus.
They really didn't have anything left to buy more Sea Condensing Pills.
The massive sale of Sea Condensing Pills had transformed the clans of the Lower Lands qualitatively. Countless immortal kings and wandering cultivators had all succeeded in condensing their seas. Once their divine power was converted to divine power, they could ascend to the Divine Mountains and witness the scene they'd longed for countless years.
It was easy to imagine just how glorious the ascension era would be in the next ten years.
All of this was because of Ye Zichen.
After selling out of Sea Condensing Pills, the store closed for the first time since its founding. All the yao returned to the Yao-Sealing Pagoda, leaving only Jiao Qi and Meng Huairong outside to protect Ye Zichen and report on their sales.
"Master, this is all the money we earned from selling Sea Condensing Pills."
Jiao Qi stood in the middle of the room. With a wave of his hand, countless spatial rings appeared. They took up three-quarters of the room, and all of them glowed with light. It was an astonishing sight.
"I've stored talismans, treasures, and other materials that other clans use to exchange for Sea Condensing Pills."
When he saw so many spatial rings, Ye Zichen couldn't help but gasp. After a brief moment of shock, he nodded and gestured for Jiao Qi to put the rings away.
However, as soon as Jiao Qi put them away, Meng Huairong took out another pile.
"I've stored the other clans' spirit coins, as well as the low-grade pills they use to exchange for Sea Condensing Pills. I've done some research recently, and more than eighty percent of the Lower Lands' resources are already here. "
Eighty percent.
This wasn't just eighty percent of the seventy-two districts' resources, but eighty percent of the Lower Lands' resources. Even though the resources beneath the Divine Mountains were sparse, eighty percent of all the resources beneath the Divine Mountains was an unimaginable amount of wealth.
For some reason, Ye Zichen felt like he was the richest man in the world.
"Send twenty percent of the talismans and treasures to Upheaval's Wei Jie. The same goes for the pills and spirit coins. Send twenty percent to Wei Jie. Give all the materials to the artificers, alchemists, and talisman masters in the Yao-Sealing Pagoda. It'd be best if they can advance, but if they can't, then continue to make low-level consumables. Huairong, you take care of that. "
"Yes." Meng Huairong nodded.
"When will Lei Zhen and the others arrive?"
Ye Zichen frowned. A few days ago, he'd sent Lei Zhen and the other heavenly yao of the Yao-Sealing Pagoda over, but three days had already passed, and there was still no sign of them.
"He should be here soon. When I sent him a transmission, he said he was at the foot of the Divine Mountain. Upheaval probably needs him there to expand. However, after I sent him a message, he immediately rushed back. If nothing unexpected happens, he should arrive here tomorrow morning, "Jiao Qi replied.
"You've already pushed to the Central Divine Mountain? Not bad."
Ye Zichen hadn't wasted so many resources establishing Upheaval. Wei Jie hadn't disappointed him; the gang was expanding at the speed he'd expected.
Right now, Ye Zichen wasn't in a hurry to ascend the Divine Mountains. He needed to do it in the most stable way possible. He needed to have Upheaval take over the Lower Lands first.
Establishing a peak-level faction was no different from building a building, especially for someone like Ye Zichen, who'd started out as a commoner ….
If he didn't build a solid foundation and rushed to the Divine Mountains, all his efforts would go to waste.
"How are the weapons, armor, and talismans I asked you to buy? How are things going?" asked Ye Zichen.
"That's strange." Jiao Qi was visibly confused. "At first, we went to the Skyspan Trading Company to ask for immortal-grade weapons and armor, but they refused with all sorts of excuses. But just yesterday, they came looking for us and offered to trade demigod artifacts for Sea Condensing Pills? "
When he heard that, Ye Zichen arched his brows.
When comparing Sea Condensing Pills to demigod artifacts, Ye Zichen didn't think they could compare at all.
Demigod artifacts could be used even by sky supremes. Even diviners could use them.
Sea Condensing Pills could only be used to break through to the immortal king level!
Secondly, even a tenth-grade pill refiner could refine Sea Condensing Pills, but a demigod artifact required a thirteenth-grade artifact refiner, and more than one at that. No matter how you looked at it, exchanging demigod artifacts for Sea Condensing Pills was an idiotic choice.
"That's not all," said Meng Huairong. She'd been the one to carry out the transaction, so she naturally had a better understanding of the situation. "A full set of demigod artifacts! It's a full set! They only asked for ten Sea Condensing Pills. In total, they traded three thousand sets of demigod artifacts to us, and then gave us special support talismans."
When Jiao Qi heard that, he chimed in, "That's right, that's just too strange. No matter how you look at it, this is a losing trade, but the Skyspan Trading Company agreed to it? Master, do you think they …. "
"No way!"
Jiao Qi and the others' intentions were clear. The Skyspan Trading Company was a trading company. The merciful didn't command troops, and they didn't want to make money. Since they were doing business, they wouldn't make a loss.
However, this transaction was clearly a huge loss, yet they still went through with it.
Meng Huairong and the others suspected that the Skyspan Trading Company wanted to deal with them and rob them of their treasures.
They couldn't see what was going on, but Ye Zichen could.
Xue Honghong was probably behind all of this!
Ye Zichen hadn't expected to owe her a favor, but this put even more pressure on him. Xue Honghong had transferred three thousand sets of demigod artifacts from her clan for his sake. If he didn't marry her by the time the ten-year agreement was up, how embarrassing would that be?
How could a family capable of refining three thousand sets of demigod artifacts be an ordinary one?
A beauty's kindness was the hardest to bear, but Ye Zichen had no way to repay her. All he could do was devote himself to her!
Ye Zichen chuckled and shook his head.
"There's no need to doubt the Skyspan Trading Company's intentions. They absolutely won't do anything to us. For the time being, pay close attention to the Divine Mountains' movements, as well as the movements of any family connected to them. If they want to attack us, we have to be prepared …. "
Before he finished speaking, the door to the room was kicked open with a bang. Chi Mei's small eyes narrowed into a line as she slyly spoke like a little fox, "What's wrong with you?
