Chapter 1826: Chapter 918:
After sending Chu Zuoshu away, Sun Huanglong was filled with confusion.
He really couldn’t fathom it.
What exactly does the Five Elements Sect intend to do?
Do they honestly just want to do business?
Was sending Zhou Ye here just to fill in Taize’s city building?
Sun Huanglong couldn’t believe it.
But he also had no power to resist.
So, after reaching an agreement with Chu Zuoshu, Sun Huanglong decided not to rally the other East Wu cultivator families, but directly announced these matters, ensuring the entire East Wu region cooperated with the Five Elements Sect.
In Sun Huanglong’s view, though the Five Elements Sect was vast and powerful, when a strong dragon tries to suppress a local snake, it might encounter shallow waters.
However, since the Sun family didn’t make a move, the other cultivator families were even less likely to resist the Five Elements Sect.
A month later.
In the largest Immortal City of East Wu, Huangwu Immortal City, the medium-sized teleportation array in Stormy Dock was modified and linked by the cultivators of the Taixu Miaomiao Palace.
The Taixu Miaomiao Palace cultivator who came to help was Gong Yanqing, the same one who had previously assisted the Five Elements Sect with setting up the medium-sized teleportation array in Northern Abyss City. His willingness to personally travel to East Wu, the furthest from East Land, was naturally thanks to Chen Mobai.
“Brother Gong, many thanks for your efforts!”
However, after the job was done, Chu Zuoshu sensibly offered a storage bag full of Spirit Stones as a token of appreciation, which Gong Yanqing accepted with a smile.
Now, with a large-scale teleportation array in the Eastern Wilderness, travel back and forth had become relatively convenient. Moreover, it was said that Chen Mobai had a close relationship with Zhang Pankong, so Gong Yanqing had grown fond of traveling to the Eastern Wilderness.
“I’ll head back to East Land first. If there are any issues with the teleportation array, have Brother Yue call me at Taixu Immortal City.”
Gong Yanqing smiled and took his leave from Chu Zuoshu, leaving with two disciples via the teleportation array.
However, his parting words left a deep impression on the eight Golden Core cultivators in East Wu, who couldn’t help but admire the Five Elements Sect, thinking highly of how easily they could summon people from Taixu Miaomiao Palace.
Once the teleportation array was connected, even though Stormy Immortal City was not yet fully constructed, East Wu now had an official route to the Eastern Wilderness.
The major families, in particular, directly detoured to the teleportation array at Stormy Dock, heading to Northern Abyss City for a huge shopping spree.
The most popular items were undoubtedly the elixirs from Danxia Pavilion.
Every day, regardless of the effect or grade, all the elixirs put on the shelves were quickly bought out by wealthy individuals from East Wu.
Even if the elixirs from Danxia Pavilion were not personally needed, they could be marked up by a hundred percent in their own East Wu shops, with small loose cultivator factions buying them out.
Seeing this, Qing Nu wasted no time and arranged for Wei Qiurong, the shopkeeper of Danxia Pavilion, to bring the inventory of elixirs and open a branch in Huangwu Immortal City with Chu Zuoshu.
Business was naturally booming.
Qing Nu reviewed the accounts and discovered that in East Wu, due to the long-term hunting of demonic beasts, the wealth of loose cultivators at the grassroots level was even greater than that of loose cultivators in the Eastern Wilderness.
However, loose cultivators in the Eastern Wilderness could earn Spirit Stones simply by contributing physical strength, spiritual power, and time. Apart from being more tiring, the infrastructure projects of the Five Elements Sect posed minimal life-threatening risks.
“By the end of the year, East Wu could potentially produce a net profit of five to six million Spirit Stones.”
After going over the accounts, Qing Nu said to Chen Mobai.
The reason only this much could be earned was due to production not meeting demand. Loose cultivators in East Wu had long lacked reliable elixirs, so as soon as Danxia Pavilion’s elixirs arrived, they were snatched up by the queued East Wu cultivators outside the store within half an hour.
If Wanhua Immortal City’s production capacity were to catch up, the profits could easily multiply five or six times.
However, this was partly because many of East Wu’s loose cultivators had been saving up, sparked by the sudden availability of coveted elixirs from Danxia Pavilion.
One or two years down the line, when the elixir market is saturated, Danxia Pavilion’s profits would stabilize.
Yet even in such a scenario, annual profits of ten million Spirit Stones were easily achievable.
Reflecting on this, Qing Nu became more eager to expand Danxia Pavilion beyond the Eastern Wilderness.
“Let’s focus on supplying East Wu and the Eastern Wilderness first.”
Chen Mobai maintained his philosophy of acting discreetly. The high-quality of Danxia Pavilion’s elixirs, if aggressively pushed into East Land, would certainly draw strong backlash. The first to suppress them would likely be the Dao Morale Sect.
“Yes, I understand; the sect’s power is still inadequate!”
Qing Nu nodded, acknowledging that to enter East Land’s market, the Five Elements Sect would need at least a few more Nascent Soul cultivators, or even a Divinity Transformation True Monarch.
Time swiftly passed, and six months elapsed.
“Thank you, Brother Chen!”
Inside the Yellow Dragon Cave Mansion, after receiving the Infant-Feeding Elixir, Mo Douguang solemnly expressed his gratitude to Chen Mobai.
“It was primarily Qing Nu’s efforts; I only lent a helping hand!”
Chen Mobai said with a smile. Beside him, Qing Nu modestly packaged the remaining three Infant-Feeding Elixirs from the Primordial Yang Cauldron and handed them over to him.
“Thank you for your hard work, sister-in-law!”
Having heard this, Mo Douguang also politely thanked Qing Nu.
“Brother Chen, Brother Mo’s Nascent Soul Formation needs safeguarding, so you might need to arrange some personnel for East Barbarians.”
The meeting also included Zhou Shengqing.
They arrived precisely on time since Chen Mobai had previously informed them that the Infant-Feeding Elixir required nurturing for six months. With Mo Douguang undergoing Nascent Soul Formation, even though the Five Elements Sect now dominated the Eastern Wilderness, Zhou Shengqing still held a local mindset, worrying that someone might intend harm, so he planned to personally oversee the Golden Cliff.
“I will handle it; please rest assured, Brother Zhou.”
Chen Mobai nodded. The situation in East Barbarians had long been stable, with all powers accepting the Five Elements Sect’s takeover of Xuan Xiao Dao Palace’s territory.
Even without Nascent Soul cultivators in residence, it wouldn’t affect the overall situation.
After all, the only Nascent Soul cultivator secluded in Golden Crow Immortal City and never coming out was the ancestor Bai Wu.
“Brother, may I have another Infant-Feeding Elixir?”
Just as they were about to depart, Mo Douguang suddenly made this request.
“Certainly!”
Without hesitation, Chen Mobai handed him another Infant-Feeding Elixir given by Qing Nu, without inquiring further.
“Thank you!”
Mo Douguang expressed his gratitude and left the Yellow Dragon Cave Mansion with Zhou Shengqing.
“Though Brother Mo has extraordinary talent, he had too many bad habits in previous cultivation. The first attempt might not succeed, but with the Three Lights Divine Water, there’s a second chance. So, he probably placed his hopes on the second attempt.”
After they left, Chen Mobai explained to Qing Nu, who nodded gently.
Her eyes fell on the remaining two Infant-Feeding Elixirs.
One of them had already been reserved for Zhou Ye.
Which left the final one…
Since Chen Mobai had agreed to Zhou Shengqing’s request, he naturally had to visit East Barbarians during his time defending Mo Douguang!
