When I become a demon king, I want to change my department to the Taoist sect.

East China Sea, Chengzhong Island.

This island is located at the junction of the inner sea and the outer sea of ​​the East China Sea. The blue water and the deep water meet here. The clear sea surface is a wonderful scene. Between the rolling waves, the two colors of sea water will merge together in mid-air. Then they each fell back to their own territory, which was extremely mysterious.

The reason for such a strange scene is that the inner sea and the outer sea of ​​the East China Sea seem to blend together, but in fact there is an invisible restriction. This restriction was jointly laid down by the Shangqing Sect and the East China Sea Dragon Palace in the past to provide protection for the human race and the dragon race. A clear border line was drawn.

It doesn't matter if the number of people is sparse, but if there are too many people entering the country at one time, the restriction will take effect, suppressing the opponent's mana recovery and even the cultivation of magical powers.

On the east side of the island, the waves rolled over and hit the steep cliffs. The protruding steep rocks pierced the East China Sea like a horn. This is also the only place on Chengzhong Island located in the East China Sea. The place is vividly called Laolongjiao.

At this moment, there are two men and one woman standing on the cliff, all of them are extremely handsome. The three of them are tall and tall, with the waves as their background, and a feeling of loneliness that the world is long and I am alone, comes to my face.

These three people were Ao Chen who wanted to come out to investigate the specific situation, Ao Ying who took his arm and volunteered to help, and the seventh prince of the East China Sea Dragon Palace, the Yang God True Dragon Ao Lei.

Duobao Pavilion's trading market in the East China Sea is on Taiping Island. In the past, Taiping Island was not even inhabited due to its awkward location. Even though the place was rich in spiritual energy, no monk opened a cave here.

It wasn't until Duobao Pavilion made great efforts to transform this place into the headquarters of the trade between the two clans that the place gradually became lively.

Ao Chen looked at the magnificent palace above the sea of ​​clouds and couldn't help but sigh: "People say that my dragon clan is extravagant, but I think this gate is not much worse than ours."

The main hall of Duobao Pavilion is not built on the island, but is located above the clouds and sky. Above the sky, the currents gather and disperse, the auspicious clouds and auspicious air form, and the mist forms. A magnificent hall with octagonal eaves is looming in it.

In no time, there were flying swords of mysterious light and flying cranes coming and going.

Ao Lei said proudly: "It's just an ordinary flying pavilion. Compared with my clan's palace, it's still far behind."

Ao Chen did not answer. He knew that all true dragons had this kind of virtue and thought highly of themselves. Ao Lei was one of the very few knowledgeable people who was willing to face the threat of Taoism.

When he revealed his guess about the Taoist plan, most of the other dragon clans in the three seas thought he was making a fuss out of a molehill.

They all said that the Dragon Clan is rich in the world and has an inexhaustible supply of all kinds of spiritual objects. Even if the Taoist sect really dumps elixirs, magic weapons or other precious treasures to the Dragon Clan, it will be difficult for the Dragon Clan to move their muscles and bones and they can completely digest them.

Moreover, the overt and covert struggle between the three religions of Taoism, Buddhism and Demon has reached a fever pitch. How dare the Taoist Sect dare to risk pushing the Dragon Clan into the Demonic Sect and plot against the world?

Even though Ao Chen argued hard and argued that every time the human race fought internally, they would first eliminate external threats. He even mentioned the Taoist and Demonic Sects joining forces to expel the demon clan to Dahuang Prefecture, and the three religions joining forces to force the Five Emperors to close their mountains. Most real dragons still disagree.

For tens of millions of years, the Dragon Clan has firmly occupied the position of the Lord of the Four Seas, and has repeatedly gained the upper hand in battles with Taoist sects and even the human race.

This caused them to lose their due respect for the former leader of the five acquired tribes and the current lord of all realms.

It was Ao Chen who brought up Tang Yuan as an excuse... This man who was full of evil in the Dragon Clan was responsible for this Dharma transaction.

This made these arrogant true dragons a little more vigilant, and they got the full support of the East China Sea Dragon Clan.

What the three of them saw as they walked made Ao Chen feel a bit shocked.

As an immortal race, the Dragon Clan has an even weaker concept of time than the Taoist cultivators.

It is only common for a large banquet to be held for several years.

Just like this, the four-sea talks, despite Ao Chen's urging, took three years to successfully convene, and after a banquet to decide on the countermeasures, another nine months passed.

But the Taoist sect has changed from its previous quiet demeanor, and everything is progressing like a mortal. In just five years, Duobao Shang has penetrated into the world and truly affected every sea clan.

Even in markets where dragons gather, the settlement currency is now replaced by the Three Mountains Talisman. Whether it is a large transaction or a peddler, one cannot avoid dealing with Duobao Pavilion.

But now Duobao Pavilion only accepts the settlement of the Three Mountains Letter Talisman. In just five years, countless Dragon Clan treasures have been exchanged for "hard currency" like the Three Mountains Letter Talisman.

What was even more chilling for Ao Chen was that the Taoist sect was infiltrating the sharks even more rapidly, and several large-scale shark countries were almost completely reduced to the land of the Taoist sect.

Taoist elixirs, magic weapons, rare treasures, and formations are all urgently needed by the sharks. In order to trade, the king of the shark kingdom even handed over many shell fields, pearl fields, and water palaces, and the three mountain talismans were even more important. In the land of sharks, it has become the currency recognized by the king.

In just five years, the sharks had been completely transformed into the shape of the Taoist sect.

This situation also gave Ao Lei, who had been following him, a sense of crisis.

You must know that the sharks are the second largest sea clan in the world after the dragon clan. Even if they are real dragons, they still need to give some face to the noble family of the sharks.

The impact on it is even more limited.

But now, the Dao Sect's influence on the Sharks is almost greater than that of the Dragon Clan. I don't know how many children of the upper-class figures of the Mermaids have also joined various avenues.

"Let's go." Ao Chen said with a heavy voice after taking another look at the bustling Yungong.

This was their last stop, and they lived up to their expectations. At the auction just now, Ao Chen saw a mermaid prince spend 33,000 mountains of true talismans and win a Taoist refined talisman. Pile of spiritual treasures.

To be fair, although there is a bit of a premium, this is a spiritual treasure after all, so it is still acceptable.

But the meaning behind this is not trivial. These 33,000 mountains of real talismans were obtained by the sharks who sold a full 300 good shells.

These three hundred shells can produce tens of millions of high-quality spirit shells in a year, which can be converted into hundreds of thousands of three-mountain talismans. It only takes a thousand years to earn back these 33,000 mountain talismans.

But when Ao Chen questioned the mermaid prince, he said that the deal was suitable. Because Daomen just wants the right to use this shell field for five hundred years.

Indeed, according to a simple calculation, this transaction is not considered a loss no matter what, it is almost equivalent to the Mermaid Prince getting tens of thousands of Three Mountains True Talisman for nothing.

However, these three hundred shells are already 70% of the shells in the entire Sharman Kingdom. Tens of millions of sharks have to rely on these shells to survive. Such a lifeline has been handed over to the hands of the Taoist sect.

Ao Chen had already thought about how the Taoist sect would use the output of these three hundred shell fields to plunder the millions or even tens of millions of years of accumulation of the Sharman Kingdom like a snowball.

In the past, Ao Chen thought that five hundred years was indeed not a long time.

For True Dragon, it might even be just a nap in seclusion, but now he pessimistically believes that it is doubtful whether this kingdom of mermaids will still exist after five hundred years.

Ao Ying saw Ao Chen's heavy heart and comforted him: "Third brother, don't be too pessimistic. The sharks are short-sighted, but our dragon clan is not like this. With the results of this investigation, I believe that my father and the others will definitely I will be more vigilant."

Ao Lei also said in a deep voice: "Brother Chen, don't worry, I will report everything I see during this trip to my father, and we will discuss a countermeasure soon."

Ao Chen sighed and said, "I hope so."

Having said that, his heart was full of despair. Because, with his intelligence, he couldn't think of a way to deal with it.

Dao Sect is not about burning, killing and looting. It is simple. You just need to fight and don't have to think too much.

Instead, the Taoist sect adopted a method that seemed fair and just, and even made the shark prince feel grateful and felt that he had taken a big advantage, infiltrating, invading, looting, and colonizing!

The simple and unpretentious Merman and Dragon Clan, who relied on the sky for their livelihood, felt for the first time the oppression from the human race and the deep malice behind such merchant ways.

……

At the same time, in the Cloud Palace.

Tang Yuan was holding Tushan Susu and talking to Jin Jiaojian.

Jin Jiaojian looked at Tang Yuan with a strange expression and said, "I never expected that your sword-browed starry eyes would be so dirty. You are even more abominable than the Nine Nether Devil when you play these businessmen's ways."

"It's just a little trail." Tang Yuan's expression remained unchanged, as if he didn't hear Jin Jiaojian's slander, and he replied calmly.

Jin Jiaojian has traveled to various worlds and has naturally seen the ways of finance and currency, but Tang Yuan is still one of the few people who can play such tricks in the earthly immortal world.

Because the essence of the Earthly Immortal World is too high, with countless powers, and a world where personal power reaches its extreme, financial capital cannot pass through here. Just imagine that the Shangqing Sect needs to go bankrupt and reorganize because it holds too many debts, and its other How terrible it must be to see the creditor being struck by a sword at the same time.

In essence, financial colonization is just the robbery of the weak by the strong, but it looks more dignified than war.

However, no matter how much bottom-level resources are plundered, it will have no effect on the top practitioners. It will not enable them to overcome the decline of Taoist heart and become Taoist kings. It will not be enough to enable them to see clearly the mystery of Daluo and achieve Taoism. respect.

The reason why we can adapt at this moment is just because the current era is special, and the Dragon Clan is also suitable.

As the largest and richest force outside of the three religions of Taoism, Buddhism and Demonism, it is of course impossible to directly come to the door and rob them, so turning to financial colonization, cultural invasion, and consciousness transformation is naturally a good method.

However, in the final analysis, this is an invasion by one force against another. For Tang Yuan personally, it may not be as useful as practicing in seclusion.

Cultivating disciples, enhancing the overall strength of the Taoist sect, and providing feedback to Tang Yuan may not come until the demonic calamity comes.

It is precisely for this reason that the economic and even political systems of the Earthly Immortal Realm have remained at a relatively primitive level.

Of course, this does not mean that the Earthly Immortal World has maintained this relatively primitive system for hundreds of millions of years.

You must know that during the Immortal Qin and Immortal Han periods, the various colonial systems of the Immortal Dynasty, whether it was force colonization, financial colonization, or consciousness invasion, were all at the level of playing tricks.

They are not targeting other races in the same world, but colonizing other major worlds!

The thirty-six counties of Xian Qin are a total of thirty-six large worlds, and the 751 counties below it are 750 medium-thousand worlds, and the small worlds below are even more countless.

Even like the Heaven Realm, in a sense, isn't it colonizing all the heavens and worlds through various methods and plundering outstanding people from all walks of life in Heaven?

Of course, it is different from Tang Yuan. For the masters of the Immortal Dynasty, expanding their territory and conquering the world is their way of practice.

It was just that after the Immortal Dynasty came to an end, the Earthly Immortal World returned to the feudal era of sects. In a sense, sects were a relatively stable system that could last forever.

It’s just that in this era, the doomsday is approaching, and there will be great changes before the doomsday. In the face of the doomsday, personal power is important, but the strength of the force is also one of the decisive factors, and can even help the personal power to complete its transformation.

"However." Jin Jiaojian changed his tone, "Xiao Jin, I really like your appearance."

"What I hate the most is those sanctimonious guys!"

Of course Jin Jiaojian likes it. The spiritual treasure Tang Yuan sold was the fish-dragon ring obtained from the Chiki Secret Realm.

This treasure was the most severely damaged among many spiritual treasures, and even after a hundred years of cultivation, it still showed no sign of recovery.

It was Jin Jiaojian who took action and used its original spiritual materials to transform it. Although it had lost a layer of essence and was only at the level of a beginner spiritual treasure, it could almost compete for the position of the weakest spiritual treasure. But how can I say it? It is also a spiritual treasure.

Tang Yuan originally planned to put it in the sect's treasury and let his disciples exchange it for their contributions.

Zhou Ju and Xu Zhi didn't want it at all. The former thought that his cultivation was not as good as that of a Yin god, so he had to use spiritual treasures to protect himself. It was too extravagant and was not good for his cultivation.

As for Xu Zhi, she didn't like the weakest spirit treasure at all. In her words, when she could use the spirit treasure at will, she would definitely have a better choice.

This is true. Xu Zhi is not only the true descendant of Three Immortals Island, but also the daughter of Xu Qingxi, the True Immortal of Yuanshen. She is also wealthy and has inextricable connections with the Wild Way. She must not be treated badly. Xu Zhi’s.

As for other disciples, it is far from time to come into contact with spiritual treasures.

The little fox cried and wanted it, but giving it to her was just to satisfy the fox's desire to show off, and it was a complete waste.

Just when Tang Yuan was about to throw him into the warehouse to eat ashes, Prince Sharman asked Duobao Pavilion through the Chamber of Commerce if there were any spiritual treasures for sale.

This reminded Tang Yuan that instead of leaving it here to eat dust, it would be better to take it out and exchange it for some usable resources.

After all, Tang Yuan had been in the cultivation world for too long. Even he regarded Lingbao as untradable and had the foundation to suppress the mountain sect.

But rather than letting it sit in your own warehouse and gathering dust, it’s far better to take it out and make money!

Moreover, Tang Yuan was sure that even if the shark got this spiritual treasure, it would not pose any threat to the Three Immortals Island, and there was no way it would be returned to him in the end!

The final result was naturally very satisfying to Tang Yuan. A spiritual treasure that was no longer needed on Sanxian Island was actually exchanged for three hundred fine shells.

You must know that Lingbei is a genuine cultivation resource. It is not only a necessary auxiliary medicine for many alchemy methods, but also a necessity for setting up formations. It is almost inseparable from daily practice.

The millions of spirit shells produced in these three hundred shell fields in a year, after being processed and refined by Sanxian Island or other Taoist sects, the value they can produce will increase hundreds of times, or even thousands of times.

The most important thing is that Tang Yuan can use this to legitimately control the lifeline of the Sharman Kingdom, and then influence the entire world.

As for the Golden Dragon Scissors, she certainly did not suffer a loss. Her processing fee was ten giant whales of Yin Shen level and thousands of beautiful Mermaid ladies.

Tang Yuan finally figured out Jin Jiao Shen's preferences. This little guy loved collecting various creatures as her playmates and pets.

The Huangya Peak that belongs to her in Sanxian Island has become a garden for thousands of people!
