Chapter 495: Chapter 235: Price War Between Wan Dan Sect and Divine Elixir Sect?_2
“`
“As for the cultivators within the Da Feng Dynasty,”
“they all seem to be in a state of secluded cultivation at this moment.”
Ruan Liuli bowed her head slightly, responding in a low voice.
“Still just watching from the sidelines?”
Hearing Ruan Liuli’s words beside him, Luo Changfeng couldn’t help but let out a sigh and then continued, “If that’s the case, then it seems the Da Feng Dynasty plans to just watch to the end, waiting for White Brahma Temple and the Great Flame Dynasty to determine a winner, or perhaps both to be injured. For now… ”
After shaking his head silently, Luo Changfeng then waved his hand.
He gestured for Ruan Liuli, who was beside him, that she could leave.
And as Ruan Liuli silently departed, only Luo Changfeng remained in this small courtyard.
He couldn’t help but take out an ancient beast skin map from his storage ring once again.
The location on the beast skin map was a terrain within the Great Flame Dynasty named Wolftooth Mountain.
Although he had no plans to go to the Great Flame Dynasty recently,
he was quite attentive to the terrain depicted on this piece of ancient beast skin.
Previously, he might have wondered,
whether the information on this piece of beast skin was already under the control of someone within the Great Flame Dynasty, or perhaps other cultivator forces?
Even more, whether the so-called Immortal’s legacy on this ancient beast skin had already been obtained by someone else?
But now it seems…
the Immortal Realm Cultivator’s legacy on this piece of ancient beast skin has not only remained unclaimed,
but it hasn’t even been discovered by other people or cultivator forces yet.
“Take it slow…”
“Given the current situation, it’s not very good for me to leave the clan just yet.”
“When the internal situation of the Da Feng Dynasty is completely stable,”
“I can be a little more at ease.”
“Then, I can go check out Wolftooth Mountain in the Great Flame Dynasty.”
“Right now, what I need to do…”
“seems to be just secluded cultivation, trying to increase my own strength and cultivation as much as possible.”
“Between the Great Flame Dynasty and White Brahma Temple, there’s probably still some time before the turbulence settles.”
As for which side between the two will be stronger or weaker…
Who will be able to have the last laugh?
Before the results are out, who can predict it in advance?
However, if one were to make a guess,
Luo Changfeng would probably think that the White Brahma Temple could hold a slight advantage.
After all, there must be a reason why White Brahma Temple is called one of the three major Demonic Path forces within Buddhism.
Additionally, the White Brahma Lotus they planted in the void above,
has now reached the stage where it can take form and descend into the world.
With these factors in play, the final winner should probably be the White Brahma Temple, right?
Yet, in such a situation,
the mysterious Mortal Transcendence Realm Cultivator from the Great Flame Dynasty still dares to go directly to the White Lotus Prefecture inside the White Brahma Temple,
choosing to engage in battle on White Brahma Temple’s home ground.
With this in mind, it’s reasonable to speculate
that the Mortal Transcendence Realm Cultivator of the Great Flame Dynasty must also have some cards up his sleeve.
Hence, between these two,
who wins and who loses is still uncertain at the moment.
…
After ceasing to consider the matters between White Brahma Temple and the Great Flame Dynasty,
Luo Changfeng was alone,
sitting leisurely under the Stone Pavilion.
Drinking tea while contemplating life,
pondering the meaning of life,
wondering what is the ultimate purpose of living?
Considering his own value in existence.
However, this contemplation didn’t last long before the arrival of someone interrupted his train of thought completely.
“Brother Luo…”
“`
“It’s been such a long time since we’ve seen each other.”
“How have you been during this time?”
Under the Stone Pavilion, an old man dressed in gray, holding a spiritual artifact cane.
At this moment, he was smiling amiably at Luo Changfeng in front of him.
Without waiting long, he made himself quite at home by sitting down at the Stone Pavilion.
He picked up a teacup and a teapot.
Poured himself a full cup of tea.
Afterwards, he slightly squinted his eyes and savored the taste of the tea in his hand.
It must be said, this kind of life…
Is indeed very leisurely and comfortable.
“You old fellow, what made you think of coming over here all of a sudden?”
Looking at Fu Qiu, the Deputy Sect Master of the Wan Dan Sect under the Da Feng Dynasty, Luo Changfeng couldn’t help but ask in a low voice.
“Nothing much, just idling with nothing to do so I came to visit old brother Luo, and besides, there’s something I need to discuss with you.”
Fu Qiu replied in a low voice while sipping tea from his cup.
“Something?”
“What’s the matter?”
Luo Ping asked in a calm tone.
Fu Qiu shook his head and said, “It’s nothing serious, just that between Wan Dan Sect and Divine Elixir Sect, a rift seems to have been growing lately, competing for the limited elixir market on the Xuanyuan Continent, to the point of drastically reducing the selling price of elixirs…”
As soon as Fu Qiu said this.
Luo Changfeng couldn’t help but become somewhat interested.
“They’ve started tearing each other apart?”
“Willing to reduce the selling price of elixirs just to grab the market?”
Fu Qiu nodded and said in a low voice, “To snatch the market from each other, Wan Dan Sect and Divine Elixir Sect have slashed the prices of elixirs to less than half, which certainly stimulated the market for elixir sales for a while and boosted the volume drastically, but at the same time, it hurt the interests of countless alchemists.”
“Even us, located within the Da Feng Dynasty’s territory, have been affected quite a bit.”
“Recently, the profits of our branch sect have plummeted by at least half.”
“Luckily, our branch sect has other channels for spirit stone income.”
“Otherwise…”
“In this conflict between the main sects of Wan Dan Sect and Divine Elixir Sect, we probably couldn’t have survived much longer without collapsing completely.”
…
In a small courtyard.
Under the Stone Pavilion.
Luo Changfeng listened to the old fellow Fu Qiu beside him.
For a moment, he fell silent.
Reducing prices to seize the market?
He had thought such strategies belonged only to his previous life.
But following his transmigration,
He was unexpectedly witnessing such a scene again.
This was indeed somewhat unexpected for him.
“At first, lowering prices might snatch some market share, but as time goes on and Wan Dan Sect reacts by also lowering their prices, can Divine Elixir Sect still reap any benefits?”
Luo Changfeng murmured to himself.
Hearing this, Fu Qiu said helplessly, “Old brother Luo, you’re right. At first, Divine Elixir Sect managed to achieve some success by undercutting prices, but as time passed and our main sect of Wan Dan Sect also reduced their prices, both sides ended up with nothing other than losses.”
“However, now that Divine Elixir Sect has started this price war, it’s not so easy to stop.”
“After all, if prices stay low.”
“Whoever fails to persist and raises the prices of elixirs will lose a significant portion of the market.”
“Such a loss, neither Divine Elixir Sect nor Wan Dan Sect can afford to face.”
“Therefore, even if it’s through gritted teeth and sheer determination, both sides will probably keep up the fight.”
“As for when this price war will end…”
“That depends on what the higher-ups of our main sect and Divine Elixir Sect decide.”
After saying this, Fu Qiu redirected his attention back to his cup of tea.
Sipping his tea, while squinting his eyes to enjoy.
The pleasure, needless to say, was immeasurable.
