Chapter 257 - 218: The Mystery of the Golden Core Law Domain, Third-Stage Pill Master_3
“Ahem, just a small effort.”
“What has been the situation in Immortal Mist City recently? I hope no major problems arose.”
Zhou Sui waved his hand to change the subject, he wanted to know the current state of Immortal Mist City.
After all, it also concerned the future of the three major sects.
“Thanks to your grace, fine Foundation Pills often appear in auctions.”
“This has attracted a lot of loose cultivators and family cultivators to trade in Immortal Mist City.”
“The number of visiting cultivators residing in Immortal Mist Sect has now exceeded one hundred thousand.”
We can easily say that just the taxes alone fetch us a large amount of Spirit Stones each day.”
“Indeed, establishing a trading city is a far more profitable affair.”
“If we rely solely on pills, Spirit Talismans, magic artifacts, and such, it would utterly fall short of supporting the cultivators of the three great sects.” Leng Yuexi says with a sigh.
After becoming the Sect Master of Immortal Mist Sect, she increasingly realized how difficult it was to develop a sect.
If they stayed on Immortal Mist Island, there weren’t many enemies around, so they wouldn’t need to worry so much.
But after coming to the Wuji Alliance’s territory, there were Golden Core forces everywhere, requiring constant negotiation and interaction.
Almost everywhere they faced obstruction, making development far more difficult.
“The Immortal Mist Sect is growing so rapidly, I hope this doesn’t invite any trouble.”
Zhou Sui knitted his brows.
Frankly speaking, the rapid development of Immortal Mist City may not be a good thing.
After all, there’s only so much of the pie in this sea territory.
If Immortal Mist City seizes a part of it, then the other forces would get a smaller piece of the pie.
This would inevitably lead to conflict and draw the hostility of other Golden Core forces.
But this situation is unavoidable.
Would they simply stop growing and yield their benefits just to avoid making enemies with other forces?
That would be impossible.
In the cultivation world, strife is necessary.
Striving for peace through struggles, this is the best approach.
Even though he is a man of Gou Dao, it doesn’t mean he will willingly swallow any humiliation.
“Indeed, there has been some trouble.”
“For instance, the Yu family, the overlord of this region.”
“Due to our rapid growth in Immortal Mist City, the number of loose cultivators visiting the Yu Family’s Island has significantly reduced.” “In essence, we’ve indirectly seized part of the Yu family’s interests.” “They have expressed their dissatisfaction.”
“They even intend to limit our sale of fine Foundation Pills, arguing that we shouldn’t auction so many Foundation Pills.”
“Other Golden Core families also more or less share the same view.”
However, due to the fact that three major sects have joined hands, these
Golden Core families dare not explicitly fall out with us.”
Leng Yuexi states in a deep voice.
Recently, the Immortal Mist Sect, along with the Danding faction and the
Qingmu sect, have indeed been under pressure from other Golden Core families.
After all, all three are foreign forces.
They can’t compete with the centuries-old connections these Golden Core families have.
If they band together to exert pressure, things might take a turn for the worse.
The three major sects might take a severe hit.
“They want to limit our sales of fine Foundation Pills?”
“How shameless of them.”
“This is fair business competition. If they are capable, they should make their own fine Foundation Pills.”
Mu Ziyi says derisively.
“The Yu family probably lacks the means.”
“Despite having five Golden Core Masters in their family, they don’t even have
a single Third Stage Pill Master.”
“They can’t even afford to employ a Third Stage Pill Master.”
“At most, they only have Second Stage Pill Masters.”
“So, they can’t possibly produce a fine Foundation Pill in every batch, like you can.”
Therefore, they naturally can’t compete with us.”
Xia Jingyan says with a small smile.
Third Stage Pill Masters aren’t something Golden Core families can afford to employ. They are usually recruited by Nascent Soul forces.
“In that case, we need to watch out for their desperate moves.”
Zhou Sui squints his eyes.
Clearly, Golden Core families that can survive in the cultivation world are by no means benevolent beings.
If they can’t win in business wars, they will definitely strike brutally and covertly.
They might even resort to physical annihilation.
That’s the simplest method in the cultivation world.
Conflicts are pervasive in these sea territories, far more intense than on Immortal Mist Island.
“Don’t worry, my love.”
I have instructed the disciples of the Immortal Mist Sect to be cautious and avoid being ambushed by the cultivators of the Yu family.”
Leng Yuexi nods, she also firmly believes they need to be cautious of these Golden Core families’ attacks to prevent them from becoming desperate.
“I am not worried about the disciples of the Immortal Mist Sect, but about all of you.”
“If anything were to happen to any of you, it would be an irreparable loss.”
“Without you all, even if I attain eternal life, it wouldn’t mean a thing.”
Zhou Sui looks lovingly at his companions like Leng Yuexi and says these heartfelt words nonchalantly.
It can be said that this has become his instinct now.
“My Love.”
Upon hearing these words, everyone including Leng Yuexi, Ji Bingyu, Mu Ziyi,
Xia Jingyan, and Shen Biqian, feel deeply moved. Even if they hear such romantic words countless times, they never get tired of them.
“That’s it, I am proficient in the art of cloning.”
“I will leave a clone by your side.”
“If anything unexpected happens, this clone will act to get you all to safety.” After considering for a while, Zhou Sui decides to leave one of his clones beside his companions.
After all, his Clone Gu has advanced to the high-quality second stage and can generate up to seventy-two clones..
