Chapter 164: War Speculation
Since Zhao Siyao was in retreat, Lu Changan did not visit this time.
After leaving the Golden Cloud Valley.
Lu Changan did not immediately return to Wuqi Mountain.
He was going to go to the surrounding markets and Xiancheng to inspect and see if he could purchase some relatively low-cost materials and materials.
The news of the sect's expedition is basically unknown to the middle and lower levels of the immortal cultivation world.
Before that, even some high-level executives were not sure.
At present, the increase in materials is not so exaggerated, and there is still some room for interest.
The first stop Lu Changan went to was the "Wufengfang City" in the south of Jinyun Valley.
Back then, Lu Changan once took Li Erqing to listen to music in the "Baixiang Immortal Building" in Wufengfang City, including helping Zhao Siyao repair high-grade magic weapons.
The scale of the Fang City is relatively large under the fairy city.
Lu Changan used the identity of an ordinary young man with the "Hundred Illusion Mask", and on this basis, he adjusted his appearance slightly, and there was an extra layer of identity disguise.
Maintain the cultivation in the middle of the foundation building, and receive VIP treatment in a large store in Wufengfang City.
After half a day.
Lu Changan swept a batch of goods, mainly talismans, pills, and puppet materials.
The price increase of materials is not small, but not as high as that of finished products.
The supply of all kinds of war materials is in short supply, and it is also limited by craftsmen, especially high-quality ones.
The price is passed on to the material, with a slight lag.
When the news of the war is confirmed and materials are scarce, the price will definitely rise sharply.
During the sweeping period, Lu Changan also went to the "Elixir Pavilion" in Wufengfang City.
Back then, the first time he came to Wufengfang City, Lu Changan was secretly followed by the shopkeeper of the Elixir Pavilion, and was later frightened away by the transmission of divine consciousness.
After all these years, the shopkeeper failed to be promoted to the foundation building period and passed away a long time ago.
After inquiry, among his descendants, there were monks in the late stage of qi refining, who served as pharmacists in the elixir pavilion.
Lu Changan's heart is not so small.
There is no need to take revenge on his descendants or the Elixir Pavilion for a trivial matter in the past.
That's too much fuss.
After all, the shopkeeper of the year only stared at him and did not take action.
Half a day after Lu Changan left.
There is an interesting story in Wufengfang City.
It is said that the precious medicinal materials stored in the Elixir Pavilion have inexplicably lost several items, and the loss is quite large, causing the owner to be furious.
Extremely fine residues were left at the scene, which were suspected to have been sneaked in and eaten by mysterious spirit beasts.
……
Wufengfang City, two thousand miles away.
During Lu Changan's flight, he glanced at the spirit pet bag.
An orange-purple squirrel demon with a bulging belly was burping, stretching his limbs lazily, and lying in the spirit pet bag.
Lu Chang'anguan'er, the precious medicinal herbs that the ground rock rats have eaten for several years are not as much as they eat in a day today.
Ten days later.
Lu Changan arrived at Bauhinia Immortal City on the west side of Jinyun Valley.
This immortal city, close to the border of the Liang State, has trade and trade with the "Jing State" in the Western Regions.
Jing Country is just a small immortal cultivation country, the spiritual vein resources are poor, and the strongest immortal cultivation force is the Jindan sect.
The country is bordered by a branch of the Black Mist Mountains to the north, between the states of Chen and Liang.
Bauhinia Immortal City, although the geographical location is partial, the value of the materials is slightly higher than that of Wufengfang City.
Lu Changan speculated that there were many big forces in Xiancheng, and his sense of smell was more keen.
The senior management of some chambers of commerce may get some rumors, but they may not dare to gamble.
Once the battle situation in the Feng Kingdom changes, or the bigwigs at the top of the Liang Kingdom give up their thoughts and invest too much, they may lose all their money.
After purchasing in Bauhinia Immortal City.
Lu Chang flew to Liaoyuan Immortal City again, stopping at Mujia in Feiyue Lake on the way.
……
In the Mu family, Lu Changan met with Li Erqing and Mu Bingyun.
I haven't seen her for many years, Mu Bingyun has matured a lot, she looks like she is twenty-four or five years old, and she has the confident demeanor of a family ancestor and a foundation building nude.
Over the years, the development momentum of Mujia has been good, the industry has expanded steadily, and a total of several stores have been opened in Zhuye Mountain, Wufeng Mountain, and Huanglong Xiancheng.
As for the reason for the rise in materials, Lu Changan hinted slightly to the two of them, but did not point it out.
Before parting.
Mu Bingyun transmitted the voice, and wanted to talk to Lu Changan alone, asking for advice on cultivation and drawing talismans.
Lu Changan glanced at this slender and slender green skirt nun, her starry eyes overflowed with expectation, reverence, and a hint of vague emotion.
Lu Changan refused Mu Bingyun's request to speak alone on the grounds that he was busy.
On the shores of Lake Fiyue.
Mu Bingyun's figure stood, slightly lost, looking at the figure of the man in white in the distance.
I thought of a certain explanation of the master before his death.
She clenched her hands into fists and took a deep breath, trying to muster up courage, but her face was filled with distress and confusion again.
Li Erqing saw the lonely shadow, as if overlapping with a figure in his memory.
He sighed in his heart: The most outstanding and beautiful female cultivators of the two generations of the Mu family can't keep that man's heart.
……
After leaving Feiyue Lake, Lu Changan went to Zhuye Mountain to have a look.
Zhuye Shanfang City, the level is slightly lower, and it is no longer prosperous at the first auction of the year.
The owner of Fang City, the Maple Leaf Huang family, now has two foundation building monks.
The original foundation building nun "Huang Yingchun", the Taoist companion in the later stage of foundation building, is said to be old, and her longevity is approaching the limit.
The cooperative relationship between the two sides has gradually faded.
The materials purchased by Lu Changan have requirements for grades, and they are not harvested much in Zhuye Shanfang City.
A month later.
Lu Changan went to Liaoyuan Immortal City and Huanglong Immortal City one after another.
Liaoyuan Immortal City, the price of materials is the highest, Lu Changan reluctantly bought some talismans, puppet high-grade materials.
Huanglong Immortal City, in addition to the ordinary parts of the demon beast, fur, other materials are not cheap.
Ultimately.
Lu Chang'an, who completed the big purchase, returned to Wuqi Mountain.
During the procurement period, Lu Changan did not use his identity.
In fact, in the eastern and southern parts of the Liang Kingdom, and even in the area north of the Black Mist Mountains, there are also large-scale Fang markets and even Xiancheng.
As the price of materials continued to rise, Lu Changan took advantage of the trend and only went to a relatively close area.
……
A year later.
Lu Chang'an, who was in Wuqi Mountain, got gossip from the outside world.
It is said that the Liang State Immortal Realm is about to fall into war.
The specific reasons for this vary from one to the other.
One of the most outrageous news is: The Boundless Palace of Yan State has already surrendered to Feng State, and it will be Liang State's turn in two years.
When the news of the war, even the maid Lan Rou knew, it had obviously been widely circulated in various places.
Some unaware low-level cultivators, panicked in their hearts, followed the trend to buy war supplies.
Some unscrupulous merchants and shops claim that they will not buy now, and if they start a war, the price will double.
As a result, the already high level of war readiness materials has risen again.
The materials that were originally slightly lagging behind were reluctant to be sold by all parties, and the response rose sharply, keeping up with the war readiness materials.
In this regard, the three peak masters of Wuqi Mountain gathered together to discuss.
Lu Changan and Ye Fei really made a lot of money.
Talismans and elixirs are consumables in war.
"The formation has increased in general, and the concubines don't make much money."
Shi Manrong's voice was warm and said with a smile.
The formation is not a consumable, and the battlefield is not in the Liang country, but it has risen with some materials.
"Haha, if the price of the formation rises sharply, it will never be a good thing! Shi Fairy still don't have to look forward to it. ”
Ye Fei took a drink and quipped.
"Wait for Lu to earn the spirit stone, and prepare to find a master fairy to improve the formation of Little Turtle Peak. At that time, I hope to give a preferential price. ”
Lu Changan's heart moved, and he greeted him in advance.
The peak master of Wuqi Mountain has made a lot of money, but he can't hide it from someone with a heart.
The more you earn, the more you should not skimp on protection.
Shi Fairy's current formation attainments can already lay out quasi-third-order formations.
"Lu Daoyou sincerely takes care of business, and the concubine can't ask for it."
Shi Manrong stroked his sideburns lightly, and took the initiative to toast a glass of spiritual wine, and a touching light red appeared on his face like a silver plate.
Ye Fei glanced at Lu Changan and Shi Manrong.
It was discovered that these two more senior peak masters occasionally met and talked happily.
More than 30 years have passed since his teacher Manrong lost his memory.
is "re-acquaintance", Lu Changan and this woman have deepened their friendship, and their three views are similar, so it is inevitable that they will have a good impression of each other.
In recent years, Shi Manrong has occasionally met him in private, and compared with the dignified and reserved in the past, he is a little more intimate and gentle.
Lu Changan remembered: After this woman came back from hunting the big demon in Huanglong Mountain, she said that she had recovered the fragments of the mutilated memories of the ancient ruins, and she had not mentioned the matter again over the years.
……
Over the next two years, the information about the war became more and more accurate.
Because, the high-level leaders of several major sects have reached an agreement and have begun to unite the forces of the seven great families, the major immortal cities and the chamber of commerce.
In the year or two when the war was about to end, Lu Changan went to various immortal cities and sold hoarded materials one after another in different capacities.
Priority is given to materials below the second order, followed by materials that are not related to skill.
Finally, there are some old, slightly inferior second-order low-grade talismans and puppets.
Through war speculation, buying low and selling high, refining and selling war supplies, Lu Changan earned huge profits.
Unconsciously.
He alone accumulated more than 30,000 spirit stones.
And that's not even counting the batch of high-grade talismans and puppets hoarded in hand.
A few years ago, Lu Changan earned a lot of spirit stones and purchased materials for refining puppets.
Not counting some hole cards, Lu Changan's worth is more than many fake Dan real people.
Taking Xiang Jinglong as an example, after achieving the fake pill, he bought the magic weapon, and the accumulation of his life was exhausted, and his hand was relatively tight.
Secretly, Xiang Jinglong also occasionally made a cameo appearance in robbery. Even so, the efficiency of earning spirit stones is far inferior to Lu Changan.
According to Lu Changan's statistics, Fu Zhen earned more spirit stones than puppets.
The main reason is that the puppet refining cycle is long, the price is high, and there are few monks who can afford it.
And if you are not a puppeteer, or your divine sense is not outstanding, it is difficult to exert the true power of a puppet.
……
this day.
The secret chamber of the little turtle peak.
"One hundred and twenty-six years old, six floors of foundation."
Lu Changan opened his eyes that were as black as ink, slowly retracted his work, and his white clothes fluttered.
The evergreen mana in the body increased by two or three percent in total compared to when the fifth layer of the foundation was built.
Because it is not a small realm breakthrough, the quality of mana is almost the same.
If you use magic weapons or spells, your power will not be significantly increased, and it will mainly affect long-lasting combat.
If you go further, break through the seventh layer of foundation building, step into the later stage of foundation building, and become the same level of overhaul in the foundation building period, you will have a qualitative leap in strength.
Whew!
The big cyan turtle with a body width of nearly one zhang and a half rubbed the breath of landing in Chang'an, and flattered him affectionately.
Lu Changan understood its meaning.
After exiting the customs, he sat on the back of the Xuanshui Turtle.
The Xuanshui turtle carried its master, happily jumped out of the cave, and was full of spirit, showing off its might to the ground rock rats not far away.
The ground rat glanced at the big turtle with disdain, and couldn't help but bared his teeth, slightly surprised.
Creak!
In a standing position, it came to the big turtle, much taller than the Xuanshui turtle, and presented a letter in personification.
This is a letter sent by Zhang Tieshan.
The content of the letter made Lu Changan slightly moved.
"The Liang Sect announced that it would go on an expedition, and Jinyun Valley would send the first batch of monks ......"
