Chapter 289: The crazy trade of virtual items

Today, all the forces around Dajin fell silent, and those who had followed the Yundian Upper Realm to suppress the Wuwei Daoist Alliance changed their attitudes and chose to become neutral.

Overnight, the situation on the whole continent seemed to experience a transformation!

Even the neighboring small countries and small forces who had been ready to make trouble for Dajin now settled down, not daring to make a move.

– Taixi Faction –

The old man who was wearing a white robe of golden patterns sat cross-legged on the bank of the lake with the fishing rod in his hand; the fishing line on the rod didn’t have a hook dangling in the water. He watched the fish frolic in the water.

If he weren’t in the Taixi Faction, people would take him as an ordinary old man who was fishing.

At this moment, a disciple strode up respectfully.

“Was the Yundian Upper Realm defeated?!” Before the disciple spoke, the old man asked mildly.

“You…” The disciple asked in surprise, “You knew it?”

While stroking his beard, the old man smiled faintly as if everything was in his control. “If the force supporting them is so weak, the Wuwei Daoist Alliance wouldn’t have dared to leap out of the big lake even if it was a golden carp.

“Good! Very good!” The old man said with a laugh, “I’ll see how strong you are!”

“We don’t need to intervene?” the disciple asked.

“With Gongshu Kuo and Gongyang Jun captured, the Gongyi Family of Yundian Upper Realm must be restless!” The old man said with a chuckle.

…

To the west of Dajin, the mountainous area which was called the Yundian Upper Realm had many huge cities built on the mountains.

Many big and small cultivation forces and families gathered here, and it was an auspicious place in every cultivator’s heart!

Today, two of the four major families were gone, which was a huge earthquake for the whole Yundian Upper Realm!

– In Yujing, the most dazzling pearl city in this region –

Gongyi Xiu had white hair, but time had left few marks on his face; he looked to be about 40 years old at first the glance, seeming to be a cultivator in the younger generation.

Beside him, the white-haired Master of Gongsun Family looked like an ancient man who didn’t have a long time left to live. If not for his clear and bright eyes, no one would believe that he was the master of the second major family in the Yundian Upper Realm.

“Gongshu Kuo and Gongyang Jun are now captured. The joint force of the No. 3 family and the No. 4 family of our Yundian Upper Realm was defeated by a kingdom of warriors, and the family masters were captured…” Gongsun Chui’s voice was very deep. “These two families are getting weaker by the day!”

“However, even though they are living backwards, Gongshu Kuo and Gongyang Jun shouldn’t have lost to Dajin,” Gongyi Xiu said, “At least they could have escaped.”

While shaking his head, he continued, “I’m afraid that the force behind the Wuwei Daoist Alliance isn’t as simple as we had thought.”

“Oh?” Gongsun Chui was displeased that Gongyi Xiu rebuffed him, but he couldn’t ignore the latter’s opinion. “Master of Gongyi, what tricks do you think that this small force, which appeared out of nowhere in Dajin, is playing? Could it be that you really think it’s another Cultivation Realm?”

Gongsun Chui obviously didn’t think that there would be any force that could match the Three Saint Gates.

Gongyi Xiu analyzed the situation and said, “When we put pressure on Wuwei Daoist Alliance, we thought that it would obey us. What happened?”

“It only shows that the Wuwei Daoist Alliance is short-sighted,” Gongsun Chui sneered.

Gongyi Xiu continued, “Then, we thought that the Wuwei Daoist Alliance would soon be crushed by our economic sanction. What happened?”

“Ugh…” Gongsun Chui stroked his beard and said with a cold expression, “Because they were lucky and found a new spiritual artifact making technique named magic instillations which could empower their current treasures.”

Gongyi Xiu nodded. “Guided by this thought, we launched the third round of attacks and even resorted to military force. What happened then?”

“Ugh…” Gongsun Chui was obviously at a loss for words. After all, coincidences couldn’t repeat again and again so quickly.

By now, it had happened three times!

Even though Dajin and the Wuwei Daoist Alliance were only lowly ants beside their feet that they didn’t care to spare a glance at, they began to sense that something wasn’t right.

“Maybe this force has unusual abilities.” Gongsun Chui had to admit this fact. “But I think they probably have reached their limit.”

He was obviously combative. “Master of Gongyi, are you afraid of them?”

“Afraid?” Gongyi Xiu sneered and stood up from his chair. “Even if the three holy ones from the Three Saint Gates were here, I, Gongyi Xiu, wouldn’t be afraid!”

“Then, what’s your plan, Master of Gongyi?” Gongsun Chui asked, “Should we go to Dajin and destroy that force?”

“Master of Gongsun!” Gongyi Xiu gazed at Gongsun Chui and said, “If that force is easy to destroy, Feng Xi, the messenger of the Taixi Faction, wouldn’t have come to enlist our help!”

“I believe that you also got the information on the whereabouts of the Demon-Suppressing Cauldron.” Gongyi Xiu squinted his eyes while a flash of light appeared in them. “Master of Gongsun, you don’t have to test me anymore. After all, one must follow the trend if they want to live long in this world.

“Gongshu Kuo and Gongyang Jun are captives now, but they are still from our Yundian Upper Realm,” Gongyi Xiu said, “I’ll send people to talk with Dajin and ransom for them.”

“As for the issue of whether if we should fight them or come into a peace pact with them…” Gongyi Xiu continued, “We can make the decision after we take a look at the shop that is operated by that force.”

“Should we go personally?”

“Of course!” Gongyi Xiu said firmly, “The scouts always returned with the reports about games and cultivation strength increases.”

“This time, I’ll go and investigate the shop in person!” Gongyi Xiu said in a cold voice.

Obviously, he was sure that all their trouble with Dajin and Wuwei Daoist Alliance came from this shop.

“Then I’ll go with you, Master of Gongyi!”

…

– Meanwhile in Half City –

“It’s said that Dajin went to a war lately?”

“It even beat a big force made purely of cultivators senseless?”

“Cultivators were beaten senseless by an army of warriors? How weak and lame are these cultivators?”

“You won’t say it if you know the truth,” a black-clothed cultivator said, “It’s said that there were not many cultivators in this army, but the cultivators of the True Lake Realm blocked the heavy attacks of spiritual artifacts launched by high-level cultivators of the Divine Ocean Realm with magic shields! The concentrated firing of the Lightning Spell almost killed grand cultivators of the Divine Ocean Realm!”

“Really?” another cultivator said in surprise, “The Magic Shield Spell is so powerful? I saw a Magic Shield Spell Skill Book the day before yesterday, and it sold for only 200 crystals!”

“You didn’t buy it for 200 crystals?” the black-clothed cultivator laughed and said, “It’s selling it for almost 2,000!”

“Ah?!”

“Skill books for Holy Armor Spell, Ghost Spiritual Shield, and the Assassination Sword Technique are each selling for about 1,000!”
