As for whether it’s actually true or not.
It can only be said that beauty lies in the eye of the beholder.
In any case, according to Master Qingyue’s description, after the alliance was formed among the Four Great Sects, the Golden Elixir Masters rarely made any moves.
Let alone any deep cooperation, However.
Four years have passed since then.
Although there has been no activity for a long time, it will not remain that way forever.
Recently, He Song has heard lots of new intel from Master Qingyue.
Sun Faction.
After directing the formation of the Four Sects Alliance, it has finally given a new order.
Prepare for war.
“In the coming days, the Four Great Sects should continuously stockpile various resources.”
“Like spirit stones, spirit mines, spirit medicines, spirit amulets and so on.”
“The prices of these items will skyrocket, if there is surplus money on you, friends, you may purchase some in advance to make a profit.” “However, do not casually disclose this message, it is internal news.” “If the news spreads too widely, it may influence subsequent prices.”
“Qingyue.”
At that time, upon receiving this missive from Master Qingyue that the Four Great Sects had begun to prepare for war, that’s what He Song saw.
As He Song read these words, his heart fell silent.
Hoarding for a profit.
Unexpectedly, since crossing into the Cultivation World, someone would encourage him to do this.
Although he had already reached the Foundation Establishment level, could the Thick Earth Sect remain uninvolved in this matter?
But while He Song was hesitating, wondering if he should do this.
He received a sequence of letters.
“Mr. He, the Sect has begun to prepare for war, the prices of goods such as spirit mines, spirit medicines, spirit amulets will skyrocket.”
“If you have extra spirit stones on you, you can buy more at the Immortal
Pavilion, and then sell them at a high price, earning some spirit stones.”
“Don’t divulge this matter, it came to my knowledge by accident, just keep it to yourself, no need to inform others.”
“If it is passed on too much, I’m afraid it will affect the prices.”
“Meng Guan. ”
This was Meng Guan’s message to He Song.
“If you have plenty of spirit stones, you can stock up some war supplies.”
“Don’t ever divulge this to others…” “Zhao Lin.”
This was Zhao Lin’s message to He Song.
“If you have plenty of spirit stones, you can stock up some war supplies.”
“Don’t ever divulge this to others…” “Wei Fan.”
This was Wei Fan’s message to He Song.
“If you have plenty of spirit stones, you can stock up some war supplies.”
“Don’t ever divulge this to others…” “Ping’er. ”
This was Ping’er’s message to He Song.
After receiving numerous letters, as He Song read one by one, he felt that internal news was flying everywhere now.
It seemed like all the Foundation Establishment cultivators in the Thick Earth Sect had also learned about this news.
But… isn’t this supposed to be internal news?
A flicker of perplexity crossed He Song’s eyes.
He Song was not surprised by Master Qingyue getting the news.
After all, Master Qingyue had a good friend named Master Miao Qing, who was a disciple of a Golden Elixir Master.
She getting internal news was perfectly normal.
He Song was also not surprised by Ping’er getting the news.
After all, Ping’er’s master was Master Qingyue herself.
If Master Qingyue told him, it goes without saying that Ping’er, as her disciple, wouldn’t be the exception.
He Song was just slightly surprised that Ping’er chose to share this with him.
As for the following three people.
Zhao Lin, Meng Guan, Wei Fan.
Why did they also get this internal news?
If that was the case, then what about the other Foundation Establishment cultivators in the Thick Earth Sect? What about the Foundation Establishment cultivators from the other three great sects?
Did they get the news and started hoarding for a profit?
He Song was baffled by it all.
But it wasn’t appropriate for him to ask directly.
He also didn’t have other sources of information from the other three sects.
Good grief.
He Song could only keep this matter to himself for now, planning to ask the trio personally later, or when he visited the power areas of the other sects.
However, because he received so many letters at once, he had a guess in his mind.
Regarding the question of whether to hoard some supplies or not, he no longer had any reservations.
Previously, he thought he was the only one doing it.
It was rather inappropriate for him to hoard for profit alone.
If he got caught, he wouldn’t be able to evade trouble for sure.
But now he saw.
Goodness, it seemed like all the Foundation Establishment cultivators of his
Even the Foundation Establishment cultivators from the other three sects, maybe they all were doing it as well.
This way, if I don’t join in, I’ll become the odd one out.
Perhaps, this stockpiling is a silent agreement among Foundation Establishment Masters, not an unjust enrichment?
If so, I might as well go with the flow and make some extra spirit stones.
With that thought in mind.
He Song quickly responded to everyone’s messages. In his reply to Master Qingyue, he directly asked if he could inform his two friends.
Master Qingyue naturally knows that Meng Guan and Wei Fan are my good friends.
If they can be told, then my guess becomes fact.
I’m afraid that all Foundation Establishment Masters in the Thick Earth Sect are engaged in this practice, not just me.
Maybe each time there is a price surge, the hidden Foundation Establishment Masters make a fortune.
“Since you, Mr. He, are friends with Masters Duan Hun and Cheng Fu, of course, you can inform them.”
“We just earn spirit stones from Loose cultivators. You don’t need to worry about it.”
“This kind of practice is not only common in the Thick Earth Sect but also evident in the other three sects, and even in Upper Sects like Yuanying.”
“Foundation Establishment Masters overseeing the Immortal Pavilions and making spirit stones off the Loose cultiva tors will naturally not draw the attention of the sect.”
“Qingyue.”
Sure enough, He Song soon received a reply from Master Qingyue.
Seeing Master Qingyue confirming this, He Song’s speculation was instantly confirmed.
Since everyone is doing it.
I must follow the trend.
However, even if I participate, the amount of spirit stones spent can’t be too high.
I don’t have a lot of spirit stones, and I can only spend at most ten thousand on these items.
Ten thousand spirit stones.
Compared to the amount of supplies in the Herbs Immortal Workshop, it’s not much.
Even if I bought everything, it wouldn’t be much.
This way, I won’t be seen as an outsider and other Loose cultivators can still access resources when needed.
Even if I earn spirit stones, the capital is only ten thousand spirit stones.
Throwing around these ten thousand spirit stones is nothing to the Herbs Immortal Workshop.
With this thought in mind.
He Song quickly began to purchase supplies in the Herbs Immortal Workshop.
Spirit medicines, spirit rice, spirit mines, artifacts, spirit amulets…
Without affecting his own cultivation and studying of Amulet Tao Introductory Insights and Elixir Refinement Introduction, He Song spent almost all his spirit stones to buy some materials.
Only after these items have surged in price later, I will sell all of them to earn spirit stones.
Naturally, when buying these items, He Song did not use his own real identity, but changed his appearance and went to different places to buy them.
It wasn’t until his ten thousand spirit stones were spent that He Song stopped.
However.
He Song didn’t have many spirit stones in the first place, and the items he managed to buy with his spending were only worth about ten thousand spirit stones.
In the future, even if all these materials significantly increase in price, I may not earn much spirit stones.
But He Song did this.
Not really to make a profit from spirit stones.
The goal is just not to be seen as an outsider by others.
If he could, He Song probably wouldn’t even bother with this.
As for the materials in the storage bag.
I’ll wait until their prices start to skyrocket before selling them.
With this mindset in mind.
After completing the purchases, He Song returned to his mansion with a furrowed brow, and began to ponder his own safety.
At this point.
It’s been four years since the Four Sects Alliance formed.
Now, under the guidance of the Sun Faction, the Four Sects are gearing up for war. Looks like tough times are coming for the Four Sects.
Although He Song is focused on studying Amulet Tao and Elixir Tao to increase his rate of earning spirit stones.
Unfortunately, being in the Thick Earth Sect.
I naturally have to think about my own safety.
If the Four Sects Alliance led by the Thick Earth Sect starts an external war, should I run or not?
If Master Fa Xuan orders me to go to the battlefield, should I go or not?
If the Four Sects Alliance can’t withstand the enemy’s assault and retreats to the Herbs Immortal Workshop, what should I do?
If the main battlefield of the Four Sects Alliance is in the vicinity of the Herbs Immortal Workshop that I’m guarding, what should I do?
In my mind, I was constantly thinking about countermeasures, and weighing whether I should run away now.
At this moment.
The Four Sects Alliance, led by the Thick Earth Sect, has already begun to prepare for war.
Although I don’t know who the enemy is and how strong they are yet. But this preparation has already made He Song feel the closeness of the danger.
If I wait until the crisis arrives to start thinking about running, I might not have enough time to escape.
In that case, I need to prepare ahead of time.
“Forget it, forget it, with my current mid-stage Foundation Establishment, I don’t have to worry about encountering life and death situations as long as I’m careful when I travel outside.”
“I might as well leave now and go to places other than the Thick Earth Sect, like the Golden Core Sects or the Yuanying Upper Sects.” “Set up one or several places where I can hide myself outside.”
“When it’s time to leave, I can quickly extricate myself.”
“I won’t be caught off guard when I want to leave and be unfamiliar with the outside world.”
“Moreover, setting up a few secluded cave mansions and storing some cultivation resources in them may be useful in the future.”
“But before leaving, I need to find Fang Yu and tell him about it.”
After contemplating for a long time, He Song quickly made a decision.
Now that the four sects, led by the Thick Earth Sect, have started preparing for war.
Having a safety net eases my worries about what’s behind me.
Even if a war truly breaks out, I can quickly withdraw and keep away from the danger zone..
