Chapter 250: Chapter 250 – Changes in the Yue Kingdom (4)

In actuality, the Daybreak Saintess knew that even if she reported all of this, the Daybreak Sect would not be able to copy everything.

Even if the Sect Master was willing, it most likely would not be possible.

This did not have anything to do with their strength, or whether or not the Sect Master would be willing, but that it was impossible.

Compared to the Flowing Cloud Sect, even though the Daybreak Sect was powerful and had a deep foundation, this was because it had a complicated structure, and this was not something that could be decided by one person.

The Sect Master had to consider the various Elders and honorary Elders’ opinions, as well as the various factions that had been formed.

Without dealing with those people, it was impossible to make any change.

Moreover, these would be massive changes.

Despite this, the Daybreak Saintess still wanted to seriously and earnestly observe everything and remember them.

Even if they could not mimic some things, they could at least understand and learn from the principles.

If she learned these things, perhaps she would have the opportunity to use them in the future.

As such, they had done their best to observe their surroundings, and as they travelled, they felt deeply shocked.

“So many spirit items and spirit grasses…”

When they saw the things on sale in the Flowing Cloud Sect’s Pill Hall, they could not help but feel startled.

This was so even for the Daybreak Saintess.

Within the Pill Hall, there were boxes of unique spirit materials and spirit grasses everywhere, and it did not seem like they lacked anything.

Both the number and variety made them feel awed.

Of course, to the Daybreak Saintess, this was not what she was surprised by.

As the Daybreak Saintess, she naturally enjoyed the best things and would not be awed by some ordinary materials.

What she was startled by was that the price of these things was much lower than in other places.

In fact, some spirit grasses were half the price of the ones outside.

“How is this possible?”

Looking at the prices of these things, they couldn’t help but wonder.

It was very difficult to obtain spirit grasses and spirit materials.

If one wanted to grow spirit grasses, one had to set up spirit formations that took up much manpower and resources. Afterwards, they needed to use the spirit qi to create unique spirit fields.

This was one of the reasons why spirit gardens were so difficult to obtain.

It could be said that every spirit field was backed by an incredible amount of investment.

Moreover, things were not over after creating the spirit fields.

Apart from nurturing spirit fields, the planting of spirit grasses was a very big field.

Unless it was a cultivator with great experience, they would not be able to take care of spirit grasses very well.

This was why spirit grasses and spirit materials were very valuable, and many of them would be worth cities outside.

How were they so cheap here?

Looking at the price labels, they could not help but wonder to themselves.

If Chen Heng was here, he would have been able to answer their questions.

The reason for this was because economies of scale.

From his research, he had concluded the spirit grasses were also crops but were just quite special.

Since they were crops, they could continuously optimize them through propagation until they obtained the results that they wanted.

Cultivators’ methods and their magic energy sped up this process.

As such, in just a few decades, the Flowing Cloud Sect was able to develop spirit grasses that had powerful vitality and also grew quickly.

It was because of these optimized spirit grasses that they were able to produce so much spirit grass, resulting in cheaper prices.

Moreover, the large numbers of cultivators also assisted with this.

Cultivators did not just use up resources; they helped with production.

The Yue Kingdom contained many spirit qi nodes.

In the past, because of various reasons, many spirit qi nodes could not be used. Only the places with good spirit qi nodes could be developed and turned into spirit fields.

Now, after the Yue Kingdom had been unified, things were different.

The spirit qi nodes that other cultivators felt did not have much value and were not worth spending the effort to activate were developed by the Flowing Cloud Sect.

Every year, the Flowing Cloud Sect would send many cultivators to do this.

After decades, large amounts of land had been turned into spirit fields, increasing the production of spirit grasses.

Because of all of these factors, the prices of spirit grasses naturally went down.

Looking at the prices of these spirit grasses, the Daybreak Saintess thought to herself.

If they could buy spirit grasses from here and sell them elsewhere, would they not be able to double their profits?

Thinking to there, her heart leapt.

However, she quickly realized that the Flowing Cloud Sect would not allow them to do such a thing.

It would be fine if they did a small-scale operation, but if they did this long-term, the Flowing Cloud Sect would not sit by and watch.

After all, these prices were just benefits for the Flowing Cloud Sect disciples.

Spirit pills and spirit grasses were essentials for cultivators, and if the prices were too high, it would be detrimental to their cultivation.

Moreover, those prices were just for within the Flowing Cloud Sect.

Even though the Flowing Cloud Sect’s prices were lower than competitors’ prices outside, they were not low to such an extent.

It could be said that just by selling these things, the Flowing Cloud Sect made a hefty profit every year.
