Outside Xianyun City, more than a dozen monks came to a valley, and several of them took out a large amount of spirit jade, cast a spell to crush the spirit jade, crushed it into powder, and then scattered it in the valley.

After a while, some soul eaters found out and began to gather in the valley, and in less than an hour, the valley was full of spirit eaters, dense, and there were countless of them.

Immediately afterwards, more than ten people each took out the insecticidal powder and sprinkled it from all directions, those soul devouring insects couldn't tell what these powders were, and they swallowed them frantically, but in less than a quarter of an hour, these soul devouring insects stiffened and died completely.

"Useful"

"It really works"

"Good"

The surrounding scattered cultivators and the disciples of the Tianlan Sect all cheered, the low-level disciples were also victims of this insect disaster, the low-level disciples had very little income, and the spiritual rice distributed by the sect was very small, and they still needed to buy some of their own to supplement on weekdays, and the high food prices caused them to suffer seriously, and when they saw hope, they naturally shouted.

At the end of the experiment, the disciples of Tianlan Sect flew away, three thousand copies of insecticidal powder were not much, it could only cover three thousand acres of spiritual field, Tianlanzong sprinkled insecticidal powder into the most valuable elixir gardens, and the others could only resist hard.

At the same time, among the mountain gates, the alchemists of the Tianlan Sect have all been assembled, and the formula for the insecticidal powder has also been bought, and after negotiations, the Seven Peerless Sects agreed, but they also asked the Tianlan Sect to keep it secret, and it is someone else's business that others can crack it, but the formula cannot be easily passed out.

"With the number of alchemists in our Tianlan Sect, if there are enough medicinal materials, we can refine tens of thousands of insecticidal powders a day, and it only takes half a month to solve all the soul devouring insects on our territory, but the soul devouring insects will move, we also have to increase production and sell them to other states, the situation in Cangbei Prefecture is much more serious than ours, we have to purchase a large number of medicinal materials"

"If you purchase medicinal materials on a large scale, will the formula be exposed?"

"You can mix it up, one place can purchase one separately, plus ordinary pills, and you can mix the pearls."

"Good, how much does our pest control powder sell?"

"The Seven Peerless Sects are two parts of the spirit jade, and we are the same, the cost of the insecticidal powder is very low, a pair of medicinal materials and five spiritual jades, as long as it is not refined, ten parts of the insecticidal powder can be refined, which is considered a huge profit."

"Doesn't it mean that the sect alchemist can create a profit of more than 100,000 spirit jades in one day?"

"Almost"

"In that case, why don't you recruit alchemists in the scattered cultivation, this formula is not such a profound thing, at most it is a first-order elixir, and sooner or later it will be cracked"

"That's what I wanted, but not now, now we have to monopolize the medicinal herbs first."

The head said that this time the Tianlan Sect wants to make a catastrophe, not only to eat the benefits of soaring food prices, but also to eat a lot of insecticidal powder, so it is necessary to increase the monopoly of medicinal materials.

"Okay, in this way, this insect plague is beneficial to us, and in a few months, at least millions of spirit jade profits"

Everyone nodded one after another, millions are the interests of the sect, not including their private interests, if you add these families, at least tens of millions of spirit jade profits, and those who pay for this are low-level disciples and scattered cultivators.

"A feast of gluttony"

Jiang Cheng sighed in his heart, he had to admire the ruthlessness of these masters, a plague of insects, they didn't lose at all, but earned countless benefits.

This made Jiang Cheng think of an infectious disease epidemic before he crossed over, as soon as the epidemic happened, the people at the bottom became more and more impoverished, but the wealth of the rich could skyrocket several times, I thought that this kind of thing would only happen in that time and space, but I didn't expect that the same would be true in the immortal cultivation world.

······

"Sir, this is the list of materials that the Tianlan Sect has acquired in Xianyun City"

"Remove these few, and it will be the real recipe for medicinal materials"

Two days later, Zhang Datong collected the list of materials announced by the Tianlan Sect, and the medicinal materials of the insecticidal powder plus others were enough to confuse the pearls, and he didn't know the real formula, so he couldn't speculate at all, unless he had enough financial resources to collect everything like the Tianlan Sect.

"Sir, can you get the real recipe?"

Master Zhang asked, now the medicinal materials on the formula are known, but I don't know the exact ratio.

"I know, but I can't tell you, it's okay for us to make a fortune with the Tianlan Sect, but if we rob the sect of interests, they won't be able to forgive us, this point, no one dares to touch, it's the bottom line"

"Okay, then we'll take it according to this"

"When will the grain of Dawei arrive?"

"It will take about three or five days"

"When we arrive, the grain can be shipped, have the buyers been contacted?"

"Yes, they are very interested"

"That's good, the insecticide powder formula can probably keep the secret for half a month, and after half a month, the formula will be cracked, you will organize people and horses to refine, after refining, don't make a disk in the Tianlan Sect, let Wu Song's people and horses go to the territory of the Tianxu Sect, they must be very short"

Jiang Cheng said, half a month is almost, enough for those people to crack the formula, and at that time, it is not too late for Zhang Datong and them to refine the insecticidal powder, because the output of the Tianxu Sect will not be able to keep up for a while and a half, and at the moment of hoarding medicinal materials, they will be one step slower.

"Yes, sir"

"How much money can we make this time?"

"No less than one million, the spiritual rice we collected near Xianyun City alone is worth hundreds of thousands, Wu Song has already collected enough spiritual rice in Zhongzhou, and the profit is also about one million, and the spiritual rice of Great Wei is millions."

Zhang Datong was excited when he talked about this, this time they made a lot of money, and they could earn money in a few months, which they couldn't make in years or even decades before.

Wu Song in Zhongzhou has replied, and the price of spiritual rice in Zhongzhou has also risen a lot, but it is only the price of about seven catties of a piece of spiritual jade, and now Xianyun City has risen to two catties of spiritual rice and a piece of spiritual jade, this is still after the appearance of insecticidal powder, the price has fallen, otherwise it is really a piece of spiritual jade for a catty of spiritual rice.

As long as Wu Song can bring back the goods smoothly, even if the price falls back again, there will be a profit of more than one million, and they can still make a profit from the insecticide powder.

And more of it is the spiritual rice of Dawei, after Li Hongsleeve learned about this, he was even more ruthless, except for next year's seeds and some high-level rations, all of them were transported, a full five million catties.

"After this incident, Dawei doesn't have to worry about paying tribute for at least three years, and all of you don't have to worry about the five-year cultivation needs, and when the time comes, you will reward your subordinates well."

"Sir, this matter is all your credit, you should take the big head, I heard that Zhenjun has several spiritual weapons on his body, and Mr. also needs to add a few spiritual weapons."

"I'll take forty percent, you divide the rest, it's useless for me to be strong alone, you also have to speed up your cultivation, so you can help me in the future"

Jiang Cheng said that Zhang Datong's cultivation is too low, and they can't go to many places, such as going to Zhongzhou, there is no cave above the Xuan, which is extremely dangerous, so they can only nest in the area of Xianyun City.

As for Jiang Cheng himself, he is enough, he is still in the grinding period in the past few years, and after he completely becomes a true monarch, he needs more resources.

"Yes, sir"

Zhang Datong nodded, he also knew that the cultivation of these people could no longer keep up with Jiang Cheng, the gap was getting bigger and bigger, and there were fewer and fewer places to help.

The insect plague continued, and the Tianlan Sect purchased the medicinal materials of the insecticidal powder on a large scale, causing a large number of loose cultivators and merchants to follow suit and collect them, causing the prices of these medicinal materials to skyrocket.

Seeing this situation, Tianlanzong decisively stopped the acquisition, because if the price rises again, there will be no profit, and the market demand is also limited.

After another seven days, the people and horses of Tianlanzong who went to Zhongzhou to get enough grain came back, and brought back an extremely large amount of spiritual rice, and Tianlanzong began to release grain according to the plan, so that the price of grain slowly fell.

Jiang Cheng also asked people to release grain, and the speed was faster than that of Tianlan Sect, coupled with the actions of the rest of the merchants, the price of grain fell back day by day.

When the formula of the insecticidal powder is cracked, the price of grain will return to the price of seven catties of spiritual rice and a piece of spiritual jade, and it is no longer a huge profit, but the profit is still there.

Grain is a consumable, there is no more after eating, this year's spiritual rice production has been greatly reduced, it will definitely not be able to last next year's new grain, insist on a few more months, and it can still be sold.

By the time the formula of the insecticidal powder was cracked, the Soul Devouring Insects within the range of the Tianlan Sect and the Seven Peerless Sects had already been wiped out, and the spiritual rice had also been harvested.

But most of the spiritual rice on the side of the Heavenly Void Sect is finished, according to the report of the spies, the spiritual rice harvested by the Heavenly Void Sect this year is less than thirty percent of previous years, and the rest are all destroyed by the Spirit Devouring Worm.

Moreover, their Spirit Devouring Worm has not been controlled, and it is still developing rapidly, devouring those elixir gardens, and the wealth lost is uncountable.

"Boss, we don't want to sell the insecticidal powder to Cangbei Prefecture now, but to sell it to Tianxu Sect."

"Why"

"Of course, it is to fight the Tianxu Sect, the Tianxu Sect followed us some time ago to acquire a large number of raw materials for insecticide powder, and now they are working overtime to refine, after they control the elixir of this sect, they will inevitably sell it to vassals, in order to make up for their losses, we can't let them get their way, we can dump products, fight a price war with them, we just keep the cost, and it doesn't matter if we lose a little, because how much we lose, how much they Tianxu Sect will lose.

Before, we made a lot of money in the tun grain, and we made a lot of money in the insecticide powder, we can afford to lose, but the Tianxu Sect can't afford to lose, this is the business war."

At this time, Jiang Cheng offered advice to the head of the sect, it was difficult to kill the Tianxu Sect with this move, but it was more than enough to hit him hard, and preventing the Tianxu Sect from sucking blood from the vassals could greatly damage their vitality.

"Good, this method is very good, just do it, I will order it immediately"

The head of the sect thought for a moment and knew the poison of this trick, he could beat the Tianxu Sect to cry, and when the time came, how much he sold, the Tianxu Sect would have to follow how much it sold, and it would be a loss to them crying.
