Chapter 193: The Banker and the Game
Chapter 192: The Banker and the Game
In the twelfth century, the first to learn of the destruction of the Spirit Mist Grass islands, and then prepared to take this opportunity to speculate on a handful of people, including He Zhenghao, so a small handful of people.
And from the beginning to the end, the influence of the Spirit Mist Grass storm is only limited to a few states.
However, in this life, when the banker changed from the Green Wood Harmonization Monarch to Jiao Xiuyuan, who had no idea of his cultivation level but whose business was spread throughout the entire Immortal Cultivation World, the situation changed drastically.
Countless puppets acted as propaganda machines.
Through various channels, the news of Spirit Mist Island’s destruction was quietly spread throughout the Xuan Huang Realm within half a day’s time.
Even among the cultivators who heard the news, only one percent of them generated speculative ideas. And only one percent of the cultivators who generated speculative ideas ended up putting them into action.
This was also an extremely large number.
What’s more, in the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance, where accumulating contributions through unusual means was relatively difficult, such an “obvious” opportunity to make a fortune. Not many cultivators were willing to miss it.
Therefore, the number of cultivators who actually participated in the speculation of Spirit Mist Grass was far more than that.
Although the vast majority of cultivators were not wealthy, they could still afford to buy one or two Spirit Mist Grass.
With the idea that a little bit of profit was a little bit of profit, a vast number of cultivators rushed back to the Tianxuan Mirror as fast as they could, scrambling to buy the Spirit Mist Grass.
Thus, in the small half day after He Zhenghao sent a message to Li Fan.
The price of the Spirit Mist Grass had risen all the way from 22 contribution points per plant to 35 points.
It was 10 points higher than Li Fan’s 12th peak price of 25 points.
Moreover, the upward trend was far from ending.
He Zhenghao’s excited voice kept coming.
“Haha, fellow Daoist Li Fan, am I right, the price of Spirit Mist Grass will definitely rise again!”
“It’s gone up fifty percent in half a day, earning back all my previous losses!”
“Remember, don’t sell the Spirit Mist Grass in your hand. You do not know, Spirit Mist Grass greatly reduced production of the news is now the outside world are rumored crazy. I don’t know how many cultivators are joining the ranks to buy it.”
“A few of us agreed that it’s still far from time to get rid of it. At the very least, it’s going to go up another fifty percent!”
“Hahaha, I’m hopeful for my YuanYing technique!”
He Zhenghao was unusually excited.
Li Fan replied perfunctorily and bragged a few times.
Instead, his attention was focused on the side of the bilocation.
“Fellow Daoist Jiao, I see that the price has risen quite a bit now, so we can realize it, right?” Looking at the numbers that were still steadily rising in the Tian Xuan Small Mirror in front of him, Li Fan tentatively asked.
There was not much exuberance on Jiao Xiuyuan’s face.
He closed his eyes and sensed for a moment and shook his head, “No, it’s still far from being time.”
“There are greater variables yet to come, just wait at ease.”
“Bigger variables?” Li Fan paced back and forth in the Hall of a Thousand Miles, his heart constantly pondering.
“According to common sense, the price of this Spirit Mist Grass has already risen to an extremely high level, I wonder what this so-called variable is?”
However, Li Fan knew that with that Five Elements Great Cavern in place, no matter how high the price of the Spirit Mist Grass would rise, the ultimate end would definitely be to fall into the dust.
Even if he didn’t come to take it off and realize it, at most, he would only lose 10,000 contribution points.
He could easily earn it back, so he didn’t panic at all and quietly watched the situation unfold.
Like Li Fan, there were many others who decided to take another look.
For example, that Greenwood Transformation True Lord.
He had nearly 10,000 Spirit Mist Grasses planted in his cave heaven in his hands.
The other day, he happened to hear that a super large-scale wood attribute cave heaven seemed to have been discovered over at the Alliance headquarters recently. There were countless spiritual plants and herbs inside.
I’m afraid that next, the price of Spirit Mist Grass would fall by the wayside.
Thus, he began to sell off the Spirit Mist Grass in his hands in an orderly manner. Although he had shipped as slowly as possible, suppressing the price fluctuations of the Spirit Mist Grass within the usual range. But the price of the Spirit Mist Grass was still going all the way down uncontrollably, from the high range of 21 points to the all-time low of 18 points.
The Greenwood Transformation True Lord instantly understood that he was definitely not the only one who knew this news.
However, for the sake of their own interests, everyone very tacitly chose to slowly ship out, not allowing the price to collapse too much at once.
Just as Qing Mu had sold most of the 10,000 Spirit Mist Grasses, he abruptly noticed that the price of the Spirit Mist Grasses had not only stopped falling all of a sudden, but had also begun a massive rebound.
Before he could react, the price had already risen back to its previous level.
Something out of the ordinary is a demon.
Aoki immediately mobilized his connections and found out the possible cause of the incident.
Spirit Mist Island was destroyed, and the Spirit Mist Grass planted on the island was destroyed.
The sharp-sensed Aoki immediately realized that this was a rare opportunity.
So he decisively switched from selling to snapping up, buying back all the Spirit Mist Grass he had previously sold.
Although he lost a lot of money in one round, soon, the price of Spirit Mist Grass began a new round of skyrocketing.
In one fell swoop, he turned a loss into a profit.
The ferocity of this round of increase made Qing Mu feel surprised and at the same time, he also felt a heartbeat of fear.
Qing Mu, who specialized in planting all kinds of spiritual plants, understood Spirit Mist Grass better than the vast majority of cultivators in the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance.
The price of 35 points clearly exceeded its own value.
Not to mention that with the existence of that Wood Attribute Cave, the Spirit Mist Grass would definitely have to fall back eventually.
However, holding more than 10,000 Spirit Mist Grasses in his hands, Qing Mu, who had made up his mind and was ready to ship it out.
Looking at the Spirit Mist Grass’s seemingly endless rise, he hesitated.
“How about …… taking another look?”
“This time, the surge is clearly somewhat abnormal. There are traces of many people pushing behind it.”
“Perhaps, it will rise a little more?”
Once the thought was born, it could no longer be put down.
After all, for Qing Mu, every time the price of Spirit Mist Grass went up a little bit, he would be able to get ten thousand more contribution points.
Even for a YuanYing True Lord, over ten thousand points of contribution was not that easy to obtain.
On weekdays, in order to take care of these Spirit Mist Grasses, he had really exhausted himself and wasted a lot of effort.
After exhausting himself, he was only able to earn a few tens of thousands of points for his hard work.
And now, in the blink of an eye, all of this was easily obtained.
The young Greenwood True Lord, at this point, still didn’t understand that a floating surplus was not a surplus.
Faced with the value of the wealth that was growing wildly on the books, True Lord Qing Mu was lost.
He decided to wait until the price of the Spirit Mist Grass went up a little bit more before he offered the Spirit Mist Grass in his hand.
“With the news of the discovery of that wood attribute cave being made public, the price of spirit plants will definitely get lower and lower in the future.”
“It will also become harder and harder for me to earn contribution points.”
“Opportunities are rare, if I don’t take advantage of this chance to make a last-ditch profit, I’ll definitely regret it later.”
Watching the price continue to rise all the way up, True Lord Qing Mu gradually reddened his eyes.
He easily convinced himself.
