Double penetration, starting from being a trader

Upon hearing this, the Star Palace envoy said expressionlessly:

"This demonic cultivator is practically immortal. Even if his physical body is sent to beyond the star field, who can guarantee that there won't be any demonic energy remaining on the cultivation star where he is imprisoned?"

"If any demonic energy remains, then demonic cultivators can use it to be reborn on your cultivation planet!"

"When our Star Palace was sealing away the demonic cultivator, we had already taken this into consideration. So any cultivator who had come into contact with the demonic cultivator was sent to your Canglan Star, just to prevent the demonic cultivator from planting demonic energy in other people."

After hearing the Star Palace Messenger's words, everyone immediately understood.

The fact that Canglan Star was chosen to seal the demonic cultivator already meant that Canglan Star had been abandoned.

The Star Palace Messenger continued:
"We originally thought that with the passage of time, the seal would be able to completely eliminate this demonic cultivator, but we did not expect that after so many years, this demonic cultivator still exists, so this is the only way we can do it."

"Of course, don't worry too much. If any cultivators from outside the region invade, we will send people to support you."

No one believed the Star Palace messenger's claim that he would send reinforcements.

Putting aside whether the other side will send reinforcements, even if they do, when extraterrestrial cultivators invade, it won't be just one or two people.

Instead, there are tens of thousands, even the Nascent Soul stage monsters don't know how many there are.

Canglan Star will immediately become a battlefield, once a cultivation star becomes a battlefield.

Then this cultivation planet will inevitably suffer immense devastation.

"Envoy! Aren't you afraid of opposition from other cultivation planets? You've abandoned us today, will you abandon the other cultivation planets tomorrow?!"

A Nascent Soul cultivator from the Cultivation Alliance mustered his courage and asked the question.

Upon hearing this, the Star Palace Messenger immediately looked at him, his gaze icy cold.

"How dare an ant question me here?"

As he finished speaking, an invisible force emerged from all around.

The Nascent Soul cultivator's body immediately exploded, turning into a cloud of blood mist!
Not only his physical body, but also his nascent soul and divine soul were erased in that instant.

Upon witnessing this scene, everyone immediately fell silent.

A Nascent Soul cultivator was killed so easily; they didn't even realize how the opponent made their move.

After killing one person, the Star Palace envoy looked in the direction of Luoxia Valley and said:
"Lu Linyuan, do you have any objections?"

Of all the people on Canglan Star, only Lu Linyuan caught the eye of the Star Palace Envoy.

He doesn't need to care about other people's opinions at all.

In Sunset Valley, Lu Linyuan looked up at the sky and said with a wry smile:
"Even if I have an opinion, what's the use?"

Upon hearing this, the Star Palace envoy snorted coldly:
"It's good to know."

As soon as he finished speaking, the golden decree immediately turned into specks of light and disappeared.

At the same time, a strange force suddenly appeared in the starry sky outside Canglan Star.

This strange power originally enveloped the entire Canglan Star.

But as the decree dissipated, the strange power that enveloped Canglan Star also began to gradually disappear.

This strange power is the power of the Star Domain Array.

From this moment on, Canglan Star is no longer protected by the Star Domain Array.

Although on the surface, Canglan Star doesn't seem to have changed much.

However, if a powerful cultivator uses a treasure or a cultivator from another star region passes by, they will be able to discover the existence of Canglan Star.

The Star Domain Array not only protects against powerful enemies, but also serves a concealment function.

The figure of the Star Palace Messenger vanished as the golden decree dissipated.

The atmosphere inside the Gale Layer was somewhat oppressive.

A gloomy atmosphere filled everyone's hearts.

A Nascent Soul cultivator suddenly roared:
"Why! Why did the Star Palace do this! We, Canglan Star, have sacrificed so much for the Star Region, and they just abandon us like this!"

The others remained silent upon hearing this.

The weak have no voice; this has always been the rule in the cultivation world, and it's the same everywhere.

If Canglan Star is a major star in the star field, would the Star Palace still abandon them?

The root of the problem is simply a lack of strength.

Leng Cangqiong looked at the crowd, and his brows furrowed quickly: "Where is the acting alliance leader?"

Upon hearing Leng Cangqiong's words, everyone looked around.

But Chen Feng was nowhere to be seen.

No one had paid attention before, but now they realized that their newly appointed acting leader had not come.

A half-step Nascent Soul cultivator said with dissatisfaction:

"He is now considered the acting leader of our Cultivation Alliance, yet he failed to appear at such an important occasion. He truly doesn't understand any rules."

Huang Ting and Xu Qian, standing nearby, were speechless as they watched the Nascent Soul cultivator speak.

If Chen Feng dares to show up, he'll probably be finished on the spot.

And why wouldn't the other party dare to say these words to Chen Feng's face?

However, the two of them breathed a sigh of relief, at least the Void Refinement expert hadn't discovered Chen Feng.

What puzzled the two was where Chen Feng had gone and how he had managed to avoid the spying of a Void Refinement expert.

Against a powerhouse of this level, even the best concealment techniques are useless.

"Never mind him, let's go back to the alliance. We need to discuss this matter." Leng Cangqiong said to everyone.

Chen Feng was ultimately just a figurehead leader, so Leng Cangqiong didn't take him too seriously.

Someone suddenly asked, "Should we inform the other factions about this?"

Leng Cangqiong sighed:
"Do you think we can keep this a secret? Notify all factions and let them prepare in advance."

Most of the people present were cultivators from various powerful forces, so it was impossible to keep this a secret.

Since it can't be hidden, it's better to just make it public.

This will also allow all cultivators on Canglan Star to prepare in advance for future invasions by cultivators from outside the region.

The group quickly left the Gale Layer.

After Leng Cangqiong and the others returned to the Cultivation Alliance, they announced this matter to the public.

Although the announcement from the Cultivation Alliance was very vague, it only stated that Canglan Star had temporarily left the protection range of the Star Domain Array for some reason.

However, any cultivator who has reached the Golden Core level knows the inside story.

All forces in the four major domains of the Inner Sea were gripped by panic.

Without the protection of the Star Domain Array.

That means that the next time extraterrestrial cultivators invade, their Canglan Star will become the first target of those extraterrestrial cultivators.

The last time extraterrestrial cultivators invaded was thirty years ago.

At that time, many people went to the outer battlefield to participate in that battle and were well aware of how terrifying the cultivators from beyond the realm were.

The appearance of extraterrestrial cultivators is not fixed in time; sometimes they will invade every few years.

This means that it is very likely that cultivators from outside the region will appear tomorrow.

In this atmosphere, countless cultivators began to flock to the nearest market, purchasing large quantities of talismans and pills.

War is imminent, and for these cultivators, all they can do is try their best to survive in the ensuing battle.

Therefore, most of the items that cultivators buy are primarily for improving survivability and increasing combat power.

If it weren't for the fact that cultivators below the Nascent Soul stage are unable to travel to the starry sky, many people would probably choose to flee Canglan Star.

Many people even worry that the Nascent Soul stage expert on Canglan Star will choose to leave Canglan Star.

Once these Nascent Soul stage monsters leave, Canglan Star will truly be doomed.

after one day.

Southern Region, Immortal Treasure City.

At this moment, countless streaks of light flew into Immortal Treasure City from different directions.

These streaks of light were all there to buy things in Immortal Treasure City.

The Immortal Treasure Merchant Guild in Immortal Treasure City had the most cultivators gathered there. The guild was already packed with cultivators, and long queues formed outside.

Inside the main hall of the Immortal Treasure Merchant Guild, a Foundation Establishment cultivator approached the counter and called out to the maid behind it:

"Give me six rifles and ten thousand rounds of ammunition!"

As he spoke, the cultivator slammed the spirit stones onto the counter.

Beside him, another cultivator also shouted:
"I need twenty hand grenades. Here are some spirit stones. If that's not enough, I also have a three-hundred-year-old spirit herb!"

The monks gathered around the counter, all asking to buy guns and grenades.

The maid looked at the counter piled high with spirit stones and quickly said:
"Distinguished guests, we sold out of Xingfengmen's weapons and equipment an hour ago, and the next batch will take a few more days to arrive."

"What? Sold out? How could it be so fast!"

"It must have been those big powers who sent people to place the order. Damn it, they're not letting us rogue cultivators make a living."

"I couldn't afford it before, but now I can't even buy it if I want to."

The surrounding monks were all complaining with dissatisfaction.

The Immortal Treasure Merchant Guild has always sold Xingfeng Sect weapons, but these weapons only sold well at the very beginning.

But the market will eventually become saturated, and the battles between cultivators are not like those of an army, which consume large amounts of resources.

So gradually, fewer and fewer people bought it.

This is why Chen Feng wanted to establish inter-star trade; if he wanted more spirit stones, he had to expand his business to other cultivation stars.

However, news spread that extraterrestrial cultivators were about to invade Canglan Star.

Whether it's major powers or independent cultivators, they all rushed to purchase weapons from Xingfeng Sect.

Because the equipment of the Wind Gate does not require the consumption of spiritual energy.

Especially for lower-level cultivators, having firearms can greatly increase their survival rate.

Although they may not need it now, they absolutely cannot be without it.

"We can't wait here. Who knows when the extraterrestrial cultivators will invade! If we can't buy it here, I'll go to other cities. The Immortal Treasure Merchant Guild has more than just this one store."

A cultivator collected the spirit stones from the counter and quickly left.

Seeing this, the other cultivators also rushed out of the Immortal Treasure Merchant Guild and began heading to the Immortal Treasure Merchant Guilds in the surrounding cities.

Xianbao Chamber of Commerce, second floor.

Mr. Xie and Qu Jing were watching what was happening below.

Mr. Xie asked, "When will the next batch of goods arrive?"

Qu Jing replied, "It will take at least three days, as the outer sea is quite far from here."

Qu Jing was also shocked; in less than a day, all the equipment for the Xingfeng Gate here had been sold out.

At the normal pace, it would take at least a month to clear this inventory.

"Both Wangyue City and Yanshen Sect just sent people to contact us, hoping to purchase large quantities of firearms and bullets," Qu Jing added.

Old Master Xie snorted coldly: "If they want it, let them buy it from Xingfeng Sect themselves. We don't have any in stock right now. Go and contact Manager Liu. We need to increase the quantity of this order."

Qu Jing asked, "How much more?"

Without hesitation, Elder Xie said, "Ten times! No, fifty times! Take out all the spirit stones that the Chamber of Commerce can mobilize. Also, use that magic ship we bought from Xingfeng Sect and go to Xingfeng Sect as fast as possible. You go there yourself to pick up the goods!"

As the chief steward of the Xianbao Chamber of Commerce, Elder Xie keenly sensed that this was a huge business opportunity.

They had to hurry and buy enough weapons and equipment from Xingfengmen.

He was certain that countless forces were currently seeking to purchase Xingfengmen.

If they arrive late, the weapons and equipment at Xingfengmen might be sold out.

"Okay, I'll go out now." Qu Jing immediately left quickly.

In the Northern Frontier, within the inner chambers of the Xingfeng Gate.

Liu Qian and Mo Chen are sitting here.

Mo Chen said to Liu Qian:

"He Menghan sent word that the weapons in the Moon Dragon Island market have sold out, and she hopes that the sect can send a batch of equipment over as soon as possible."

Liu Qian nodded: "Contact Black Dragon at the Black Sea branch. I remember they still have some equipment in stock there. Send it to Moon Dragon Island first."

Mo Chen nodded, then took out his phone and started making calls.

Liu Qian and Mo Chen were already aware of the changes on Canglan Star.

They were originally discussing how to deal with the invasion of cultivators from outside the region.

Unexpectedly, only one day had passed.

Everything in Xingfengmen's shops was sold out.

Not only the markets on Moonlit Island, but even the shops in the Northern Territory are now packed with people.

"I've already contacted him, and Black Dragon said he'll set off immediately." Mo Chen put down the phone.

Just then, Liu Qian's phone suddenly rang.

He took out his phone and glanced at it; the call was from Ge Yunxuan.

The southern region is now covered by satellite, and direct telephone contact is possible.

Liu Qian answered the phone, listened for a while, and then said:

“I understand. Tell them that if they want to buy weapons and equipment, they can come directly to the Northern Territory, but the number of people cannot be too large, and their cultivation level must be below the Nascent Soul stage.”

After Liu Qian finished speaking, he hung up the phone.

Mo Chen asked, "What happened?"

Liu Qian said with a strange expression:

“Ge Yunxuan said that more than 30 forces have contacted him, all of whom are looking to purchase weapons and equipment, and the orders are all very large.”

Upon hearing this, Mo Chen's eyes widened: "More than thirty forces?"

"Yes, they're all major powers. This reminds me of something the sect leader told me before," Liu Qian said with a smile.

Mo Chen asked curiously, "What did you say?"

"When guns roar, gold pours in!" Liu Qian uttered these words.

Mo Chen thought for a moment, then smiled and said, "That's quite apt."

Liu Qian immediately stood up:

“Our current inventory is far from enough. This order volume is just too large. Manager Qu contacted me beforehand, and their order volume has increased fiftyfold this time.”

"You should issue a notice to all the factories that were previously shut down to resume operations, and from now on, they should operate 24 hours a day without interruption."

Most of the factories in the North that used to produce conventional weapons have stopped operating.

There are only three factories that produce conventional weapons.

Other factories are producing the latest models of guns and ammunition.

For example, the Gauss rifle, and bullets imbued with psionic energy.

This weapon is far more powerful than ordinary weapons.

But with this unexpected turn of events on Canglan Star, Liu Qian plans to restart all of these factories.

We're definitely going to make a profit from these spirit stones.

The Xingfeng Sect has recently consumed a lot of spirit stones.

Building the inter-star teleportation array cost over a million top-grade spirit stones.

Meanwhile, the three-phase bombs, robots, space carriers, and fusion batteries of the Xingfengmen are all in rapid production.

Especially the fusion batteries made with top-grade spirit stones, which consume the most resources.

The space-based weapons of the Xingfeng Sect can only be operated by fusion batteries made from top-grade spirit stones.

Upon hearing that Liu Qian wanted to resume all operations at the factory, Mo Chen said in a deep voice:

"If all operations resume, our raw materials will be completely used up in seven days at most."

"Resume work first! I'll talk to the sect leader about the raw materials later," Liu Qian said.

"Okay, I'll go and inform them now."

Mo Chen didn't hesitate any longer; he immediately walked out of the main hall. (End of Chapter)
