The ancient giant bear hiding in the world of immortal cultivation

Chapter 428 Hidden Yuan Treasury
What is your opinion of the Hidden Origin Society?

Wang Wu asked another question, which was actually a bit inappropriate and might even arouse Xu Taiping's suspicion.

However, elites like Xu Taiping, who rose from humble beginnings, may have unique perspectives.

In addition, he did it somewhat on purpose, just to show that he was actually inexperienced and rather naive.

As expected, Xu Taiping fell silent. He didn't want to answer this question, and besides, what kind of question is that? It just makes him seem very unsophisticated.

However, considering that the other party is an eighth-rank elder of the Hidden Origin Society, and may be the head of a branch, it is understandable that he would ask such a question.

"If I may be so bold as to ask, Your Excellency, what kind of evaluation would you like to hear?"

"Regardless of whether it's good or bad, evaluate it from your own perspective, and then evaluate it from a broader perspective based on your understanding."

"Here!"

Xu Taiping thought for a moment before saying, "In my humble opinion, the Hidden Yuan Society is not bad. After all, ordinary people living in cities protected by the Hidden Yuan Society should be very fortunate, as they have a high chance of living a fulfilling and happy life."

"Moreover, the Hidden Origin Society is a relatively friendly force to independent cultivators. As an independent cultivator, it is easy to find a foothold. The Hidden Origin Society's general store can basically meet the needs of daily cultivation."

"I worked at the Azure Dragon Immortal Alliance branch of the Hidden Origin Society for six hundred years. It was during those six hundred years that my cultivation made great progress and solidified my foundation. However, there were also factional disputes and fierce infighting within the Hidden Origin Society. I witnessed it firsthand and was terrified. Therefore, I have always kept a low profile. Later, seeing no hope of promotion, I began to travel around the world until now."

"As for asking me to understand the entire Hidden Origin Society, I really have no way of commenting. What merit do I have? Please forgive me, True Immortal Lord."

Upon hearing this, Wang Wu smiled slightly and did not ask any further questions.

"Then let's begin. Now, please circulate your spiritual energy through the body. I will set up the foundation-building formation based on the circulation of your elixir and spiritual energy."

"Here!"

Xu Taiping readily complied with Wang Wu's instructions without hesitation.

Wang Wu immediately activated his Level 18 Spiritual Acuity Insight to record everything.

In fact, setting up a foundation-building formation is too easy for Xu Taiping's current cultivation level; it's extremely easy. If possible, Wang Wu guarantees that the deployment can be completed in the time it takes for an incense stick to burn.

However, this time he plans to take six days.

In fact, he didn't do anything on the first day; he was only focused on learning from others. It wasn't until the second day that he completed the corresponding deployment on one of Xu Taiping's elixirs.

The process was difficult and tedious.

In this way, the deployment of one elixir per day can be completed in exactly six days.

In fact, on the sixth day, Wang Wu was surprised to find that Xu Taiping had already been secretly making his own calculations.

Using the four-fifths of the Five Elements Spiritual Array that has already been formed, we can roughly deduce the remaining one-fifth.

So cool.

As a result, almost simultaneously with the completion of the Five Elements Spirit Array, it formed a combat force in Xu Taiping's hands!

Yes, it took Snake Nineteen half a year to form combat power after deploying the Foundation Building Formation. That's the biggest difference.

At this moment, Xu Taiping's overall combat power increased by 1.5 times, and it is likely to increase to 1.8 times to 2 times in the future.

What does this mean? It means that at this moment, Xu Taiping already possesses the ability to penetrate the fire armor and inflict real damage on Wang Wu.

If Wang Wu hesitates in the future, he will likely be defeated or even killed by Xu Taiping once Xu Taiping fully understands and masters his abilities.

Wang Wu even had a feeling that through this first-order foundation-building formation, Xu Taiping might be able to deduce and deploy a second-order foundation-building formation on his own, as if he had broken through a window.

"Many thanks to the True Immortal for his kindness. If the True Immortal ever asks for anything in the future, I will do my utmost to repay him."

Xu Taiping respectfully kowtowed three times to Wang Wu.

His gaze was deep and profound, like the deep sea, yet it could not conceal its dazzling sharpness.

But for Wang Wu, this is still a very interesting thing.

“I keep my word. It’s just a favor. Once I repay it, we’ll have nothing to do with each other anymore. Also, from this day forward, unless I take the initiative to find you and ask you to repay the favor, I don’t know you, and you shouldn’t know me either. You’ve never been to Dragon Head City.”

"Now you may leave. The path to immortality is long and uncertain. Take care."

Wang Wu waved his hand and sent Xu Taiping out of the cave.

Then he specifically went to Snake Nineteen and Madam Yu, asking them to forcibly erase this memory.

Neither Xu Taiping nor Wen Taiping exist; they are complete strangers.

Finally, Wang Wu made sure that Xu Taiping had really left the area within 100,000 li of Longshou City before he could relax.

From now on, whatever trouble Xu Taiping gets into will be none of his business.

Upon returning to his cave, Wang Wu could no longer suppress the smile on his face; the gains this time were truly enormous.

So this is how spiritual energy circulates, and how elixirs are controlled?

Putting aside the other elixirs, his Fire Elixir alone, after this round of checks and corrections, saw its overall performance increase by 10%!

This almost allowed Wang Wu's Crimson Flame Spiritual Energy to successfully break through the 9,000 times per second circulation speed, and the quality of the Crimson Flame Spiritual Energy could be automatically improved to level 6.5.

The related Taoist techniques and supernatural abilities are like sudden enlightenment on the spot.

Because his foundation in this area was already quite good, now it's like he's reached the ultimate perfection.

Unfortunately, due to their limited perspective, even the Four Clowns were unable to conduct a complete and comprehensive assessment of Wang Wu's Fire Spirit Pill, and they didn't know what level it belonged to.

We can only learn about it gradually in the future. Of course, this effect is only possible with the Fire Spirit Pill.

The other three types of elixirs, however, require seclusion.

As for the Earth Spirit Pill, Xu Taiping did not have it, so Wang Wu could not learn how to use it.

Next, he wished he could go into seclusion immediately, but he really didn't have any extra spiritual energy at the moment. He subconsciously opened the jade talisman and entered the Hidden Origin Society's general storehouse to exchange for spiritual energy.

However, he quickly changed his mind. He decided not to waste those 500,000 strands of human energy and to keep them just in case.

As for how to obtain spiritual energy, it's simple.

You can sell level 6 Crimson Flame Aura.

Yes, the Puku of the Hidden Origin Society is like the Yiwu Small Commodities Wholesale Market in Earth's old home, plus cats, dogs, Pinduoduo, fish, and all sorts of other random things.

Because one of the core elements of the Hidden Yuan Society is doing business.

This place handles both large-scale cargo throughput and small-scale wholesale, as well as individual sales, auctions, consignment sales, pawning, recycling, and custom-made goods, among other transaction methods.

In a sense, this is where the business opportunities are limitless.

This Puku platform is supported by twelve Hidden Yuan Bells.

It can be understood as the logistics network, communication network, World Wide Web, escort agency, and warehousing center of the cultivation world.

Back home on Earth, you have to wait several days to place an order, but here it's instant checkout and instant delivery.

Yes, of course, there are requirements.

First, you need to have certain permissions; otherwise, you'll have to pay for the shipping.

People like Wang Wu, She Shijiu, and Madam Yu all have their own exclusive delivery addresses. Other Yin Yuan Society stewards need to pay a certain fee to either use the delivery address of a Yin Yuan Society branch or directly specify their own storage bag.

That Hidden Origin Jade Talisman is practically equivalent to a personal all-purpose terminal.

If there is enough of the five elements in the human realm, one can also customize various interesting anecdotes and stories from the cultivation world, including answers and explanations, and even issue hidden element tasks.

A fully-fledged Hidden Yuanhui ecosystem.

At that moment, Wang Wu had a thought, and all around him were various kinds of stalls, just like being there in person.

Moreover, these stalls can be automatically categorized and sorted in real time according to his needs, and there are also free information updates, such as today's purchase price of large quantities of spiritual energy, the selling price of large quantities of black iron, and all sorts of things similar to futures and stocks.

However, he can't afford to mess with these large futures contracts. A single contract is usually worth 10 billion units of spiritual energy. Are you kidding me? He can't afford to mess with them.

Corresponding to these large-scale futures contracts is the conventional price index of the Yinyuanhui Puku.

Here you can clearly see the daily price of oil, or rather, the daily price of spiritual energy.

The price is adjusted on average every seven days, which is a matter of great concern to countless independent cultivators.

There were no people on the road because Wang Wu had chosen the quiet browsing mode, and even the stall owners were hidden.

However, if he chooses the herd mentality mode, he will see an overwhelming sea of ​​people.

In addition, you can freely log in to the official forum of Yinyuanhui, Yinhu, Yuanzhan, Xiaoyinshu and other special channels here.

You won't see people here, only messages. Once you enter, you'll find that this cultivation world is vast, with countless cultivators. In this bustling world, you are all just ordinary people, like a lone wild goose in the vast universe.

This can truly be called the era of information-based cultivation.

And this is just the ecosystem of the Hidden Origin Society, a major power.

Immortals actually have many more tricks up their sleeves.

Wang Wu only glanced at it briefly without going into depth. It certainly had some value, but it was meaningless to him for the time being.

Once you select your target item, a list of the latest prices will appear.

Ordinary spiritual energy of heaven and earth is still a wisp of human five elements that can be exchanged for 101 points (dou), and the price has decreased slightly compared to a hundred years ago.

Then there are the different attributes of spiritual energy, which are also represented by the most common and convenient level standard.

Such as Level 1 Crimson Flame Aura, Level 2 Frost Aura, etc.

The exponential increase follows the pattern of 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64, 128, and so on.

Wang Wu's level 6 Crimson Flame Spiritual Qi was also selected from this standard.

At this moment, he didn't look at anything else but the crimson flame spiritual energy.

The latest price for Level 1 Crimson Flame Spiritual Energy is 90 points of Crimson Flame Spiritual Energy for every wisp of Human Five Elements, which is quite reasonable.

The price of level 2 Crimson Flame Spiritual Qi is a bit outrageous. A wisp of human five elements can only be exchanged for 1 point of Crimson Flame Spiritual Qi. In reality, as long as you have Fire Spirit Pills and know how to cultivate, you only need to consume 2 points of heaven and earth spiritual energy to cultivate 1 point of Crimson Flame Spiritual Qi.

Because these are two different things.

It's like a steamed bun that costs 2 yuan, but the ingredients might only cost a few cents.

We have to consider things like rent, staff salaries, time and effort spent, machine costs, profits, and so on.

Wang Wu's level 6 Crimson Flame Spiritual Energy can be converted using only 32 points of ordinary Heaven and Earth Spiritual Energy. However, if someone were to offer 64 points of Heaven and Earth Spiritual Energy as a form of charity, saying, "Here, I'll let you double your money, so thank me quickly," he would beat that person to a pulp!
Therefore, the latest price for level 3 Crimson Flame Spiritual Energy is that one point of level 3 Crimson Flame Spiritual Energy requires 24 strands of human five elements, which is approximately equal to 2400 points of regular spiritual energy.

The profit margin is huge.
