Chapter 210: Conning and Extorting

“It dropped by more than 3 times!”

Zomg Shou took a close look, and a weird light flashed in his eyes.

The news of people tossing and selling on the screen was crazily increasing. The price was also swiftly crashing.

Looking out, there was also numerous news of people purchasing spirit pills and spiritual artifacts. Without exception, they were using beast crystals and mind stones. It pretty much occupied an entire screen.

The most extreme thing was that as compared to 4 days ago, there was already a 4 times difference.

5 thousand kilograms of food which was sold for a grade 1 beast crystal before now needed more than 4.

However, Zong Shou’s eyes revealed surprise and shock.

In his memory, the depreciation storm of the beast crystals and mind stones shouldn’t be so bad for this round.

The time should also be 6 days later and the depreciation rate should be double or a little more than that.

However today it dropped to nearly 4 times, and it showed no signs of stopping.

“Prince this is a little weird. Even if the spiritual wave could explode out, the beast crystals shouldn’t depreciate so badly at this moment!”

Tan Tao frowned, looking in surprise at the surging heads in the hall. His face flushed an emotional red glow, not only because of the fall of the price in beast crystals, those basic pills especially price of the speed energy pills were crazily increasing. The number of beast crystals Xuan Mountain City took out at once although wasn’t as much as what Zong Shou took out, it reached 200 thousand grade 4 crystals. In the blink of an eye, he had 6 times of profit. He couldn’t help but feel his heart tremble. With this money, they could develop ten thousand black armor wind dragon cavalry. With Xuanyuan Tong as the commander, they could easily wipe out hidden sects below the spiritual house level.

However Tan Tao’s eyes were filled with doubt, “I originally thought even if it dropped it should happen within 10 years. That it would slowly drop and not drop so rapidly! Young city lord, can you help solve my doubts?”

Zong Shou couldn’t help but roll his eyes, even he didn’t know what was happening now, how could he explain it.

However, not only Tan Tao but even Hu Zhongyuan, Zong Yuan, Ruo Shui, and Chuxue were all looking over like curious babies. He didn’t bother about the former two. However, the latter two, especially the shiny eyes of Chuxue, big and watery big eyes, killed his strength instantly.

Adjusting his breath slightly, Zong Shou has a indiscernible and smart laugh, “You all belittle the amount of beast crystal and mind stone storage of those shrines and spiritual houses. In the past, they stored up to get past this spiritual energy weakening stage that they didn’t know would last for how long. Now that the spiritual wave was about to explode, why would they need to store those beast crystals and mind stones?”

In his memory, within these 20 odd years, the few shrines that confirmed that the spiritual wave was about to explode were all trying their best to silently change their mind stones and beast crystals into various items.

A few days ago, more people started to notice. Beast crystals and mind stone sales first expanded to the 19 spiritual houses. Then, it was the aristocratic families and hidden sects. Then to various other powers in the 5 continents and 12 islands. In just a short few years, it caused the price of beast crystals to fall by 16 times, mind stones too. It wasn’t until 10 years later did it slightly rise a little.

The depreciation in his memory was manipulated by people behind the scenes and was completed in an orderly manner.

However, when he thought about that, Zong Shou had some idea.

Was it caused by his purchase of basic pills? In the last life, he always heard Diane people say that when a martial artist hit a few fists in his courtyard, under a chain reaction, it could cause a storm thousands of miles away.

In the past, he always felt that it didn’t make sense, but now he felt that it made sense. It seemed like history could be changed.

Tan Tao couldn’t help but be deep in thought. Hu Zhongyuan and Chuxue didn’t care so much, they only needed to know the rough reason. As long as they earned like crazy it was fine. Filled with delight and happiness, the only thing they didn’t do was leap up and vent their joy.

Zong Shou took another look at the screen. In just that short while it fell by 6 times. This was chaos. it was obvious that numerous people were joining in this sale and they were all anxious.

The corner of Zong Shou’s lips perked. In such a situation, even if the few sect leaders of the shrines interfered, it would be useless.

In the last life, he had engaged in battle in the marketplace. He knew that once such a large scale psychological panic sets in, it was really difficult to turn around. Unless these shrines could take out large amounts of goods to forcefully increase the price. However, was that even possible?

The only thing he didn’t know was that would those drop by 10 times or 15 times?

Just as he was making deductions in his heart, his gaze suddenly touched with a solemn image not far away. He seemed a little familiar. Looking closer, wasn’t that Pill Fountain Sect’s external deacon Fang Chen? Zong Shou gave out a bad smile, waving his hand, “oh isn’t that stupid Fang? How is your sect’s business going today?”

That Fang Chen’s face was originally ashen white, totally downcast. Upon hearing Zong Shou’s voice, he was stunned for a long while before reacting to him being called stupid. He couldn’t help but turn his head, looking at Zong Shou with sadness and anger. He wanted to tear him to shreds but after a short moment, he realized that there was nothing he could do. After a short while, he squeezed out a few words from the skin of his teeth, “Don’t be arrogant little one!”

Zong Shou laughed. He was feeling gleeful about his achievement. He wasn’t a proper righteous person, so being humble and keeping his joy to himself wasn’t his character. When he was happy, he would step on others. Scolding back others who had called him trash. If he didn’t give Yiren face he would one day kill his way into Pill Fountain Sect.

However, thinking carefully, he decided that it was better to be polite. Zong Shou blinked, “Forget it. After all, you are Yiren’s senior brother. I won’t call you stupid. Although you are really stupid, how about this, I think the beast crystals might fall by 10 times. The 500 million initial spirit pills that I bought for 10 grade 7 beast crystals, you can buy it for 80. Deacon Fang do you dare to buy it back? After this, there won’t be such a good deal in the future.”

That Fang Chen hesitated for a short moment before scoffing angrily, flicking his sleeves as he left, not bothering anymore.

Zong Shou shook his head slightly. He was being nice because of Yiren. However, it was wasted by him just like that. As expected from someone that was so dumb…

The group of them watched on quietly by the side, the entire hall was filled with panic and loss. Only Zong Shou and his men’s faces were red and nourished, filled with confidence and happiness, appearing especially eye-piercing. Numerous people looked over, their eyes filled with rage and killing intent. Especially the ten over people who had dealt with Zong Shou who wished that they could just swallow Zong Shou into their stomach.

Zong Shou himself didn’t care, whereas Tan Tao and Hu Zhongyuan felt that things were getting bad, forcefully pulling Zong Shou away from the hall.

Just as they walked from the corridor back into their suite, he saw two people walking together.

When Zong Shou saw them, he smiled once more, another two fools. Speaking of which, these two people had been right beside one another. Their shadows couldn’t be separated. Just as he wanted to say hi to them, he saw Xiong Kui suddenly stand still. Blocking in front of them, his muscular body took up a large half of the corridor. He coldly looked at Zong Shou, “If you’re smart, refund the pills! I can forget about this matter and not argue with you about it…”

Zong Shou was stunned. These two people were here to threaten and extort him.

That Feng Yu’s face was also really dark. His eyes seemed like they were burning like fire as he looked over, “There is no one in this world that can take advantage of my Yunxia Mountain and still live! If you don’t want to die you know what to do.”

Zong Shou couldn’t help but burst out laughing, revealing his white jade-like tooth. Looking youthful and gullible,” Tan Tao, I’m a little afraid. If we refund the pills will these two people let us off in the future?”

Tan Tao was speechless, thinking carefully for a moment before shaking his head, “Young city lord, these two people are both vicious people who will swallow you up, even eating your bones. I think it’s better we don’t refund them. If you need, our Xuan Mountain City can move troops anytime to this place!” Everything was good with this prince, only his personality was a little weird.

Hu Zhongyuan instantly scoffed, “Our Gantian Mountain will fight anyone. Where our soldiers go, no one is our enemy. It’s just a Yunxia and Blazing Flame Mountain. They only slightly rose up in this half a year, what do they have to be proud about?”

Xiong Kui and Feng Yu were so furious that their bodies shook. Their faces were dark.

“So I don’t need to be afraid.”

Zong Shou smiled as he looked back, “What if your threat doesn’t work? Why not beg? Maybe I’m a nice person and will refund the pills to you?”

Those two eyes turned into a sharp knife as they looked to cut him up. Zong Shou didn’t care, slightly shaking his head, “Why aren’t you speaking? If you have nothing why not move away? Have you heard about how a good dog doesn’t block the way? Are you two dumb?”

Xiong Kui’s eyes were already spitting fire as he looked right at Zong Shou. Following which he laughed coldly, “You’re good!”

As he said that, he didn’t say anything more, directly turning around and leaving. Feng Yu’s eyes were also like a storm, “Originally I didn’t want to kill you! But now I want to swallow your bones. I hope that I won’t have one more pee flask in my room after today.”

He flicked his sleeves as he walked away, bringing a group of people who also looked at them viciously as they passed. In a blink of an eye, they couldn’t be seen anymore.

Tan Tao frowned slightly, although he didn’t agree to return the beast crystals and mind stones, it didn’t mean he wasn’t worried.

“Young city lord, I think we should be more careful! I heard that Yunxia Mountain and Blazing Flame Mountain has close to 300 thousand troops gathering towards Ruohai Mountain Range. Why not we let city lord move some troops over? Or we move around it? This time should be really dangerous…”

Zong Shou smiled as he shook his head, his eyes turning slightly serious. If he didn’t know how dangerous the situation was, he didn’t need to fight for the position of Gantian Mountain Monster king.

This time if he didn’t treat it seriously, it would be a tough situation.
