Being a talent in the Chusheng Demon Sect

Chapter 618 Asking me to be the leader of the heretics?

Inside the Righteous Path Banner, Lü Yang sat cross-legged.

Opposite him stood the Demon-Slaying Master, sword in hand, eyes slightly closed, reviewing the divine sense that Lü Yang had just sent, including his current predicament.

After a long while, the Demon-Slaying Immortal slowly raised his head.

"Fellow Daoist, I roughly understand what you are doing."

After all, he came from the Sword Pavilion, and his basic knowledge of sword techniques was there, so he only had to look at it once to understand the operating logic of the Heavenly Mansion.

However, that's precisely why he frowned:
"Although the Worry-Free Talisman issued by you, fellow Daoist, has been rising, it will eventually be unable to hold up, and will only end up absorbing funds that are being used for downward adjustments."

"Once it collapses, the consequences could be irreversible. You may be able to use this opportunity to amass wealth, but those below you, those at the Foundation Establishment stage, Qi Refining stage, and even mortals, will lose everything, their lives and fortunes wiped out. The karma is too great, fellow Daoist. Do you really want to do this?"

The Demon-Slaying Master looked solemn.

As the banner spirit of the Righteous Path, he shouldn't have said such things, but he did anyway, calmly questioning Lü Yang.

'Did I misjudge him?'

'Such a storm would cause as much bloodshed as a massacre, and it would even be done so cleanly and beautifully without shedding a drop of blood.'

Indeed, even the Demon-Slaying Master had to admit that Lü Yang had done a brilliant job. However, the more brilliantly Lü Yang did it, the more horrified the Demon-Slaying Master became. He looked at Lü Yang with unprecedented seriousness, as if he wanted to dissect him, see into his heart, and understand his true thoughts.

The next second, Lü Yang smiled:

"Fellow Daoist, rest assured, I have no interest in poor people."

Lu Yang said with a sincere expression, "What can you squeeze out of the poor? If you're going to squeeze, squeeze out the rich. Those immortal lords at the top are my targets."

As he spoke, Lü Yang took out the [Tianfu Tong].

The exchange rates, differences, and transactions of all celestial registers in the entire Heavenly Palace can be observed and manipulated through it, basically reflecting the overall market trend.

"The price of the Worry-Free Talisman has been rising for a long time."

Lu Yang tapped the [Tianfu Tong] lightly and said with a smile, "By now, most of the lower cultivators have actually been eliminated by the higher-ups."

After all, the Worry-Free Talisman is too expensive now.

The price has become so high that retail investors can no longer afford it. Most of the Worry-Free Talismans have been concentrated in the hands of the upper-level immortal lords, who are the ones driving up the price of the Worry-Free Talismans.

The Demon-Slaying Master's eyes gradually brightened: "You mean..."

Lu Yang continued, "Fellow Daoist, what do you think is the purpose of those Immortal Lords above the sixth level of the Heavenly Mansion gathering the Worry-Free Talisman in their own hands?"

After a moment's thought, the Demon-Slaying Master said with certainty, "We should still harvest from the lower levels."

Although retail investors have exited the market, they are only a small portion of the lower-level players. There are still a large number of immortals and sects involved. Besides, if things don't work out, they can always borrow money.

"good."

Lu Yang nodded: "What they want to do is to completely drain the funds from the lower levels, leaving a huge hole so that they can make a fortune for themselves."

"However, there will be a gap in this process."

"That is, before they have already harvested the vast majority of the Worry-Free Talismans and are about to leave the market, as long as the price of Worry-Free Talismans plummets before that."

"They're stuck with this stuff!"

At this point, a sinister smile finally appeared on Lü Yang's face. With this move, he would be able to raise the funds needed to purchase the fruit position.

After hearing Lü Yang's plan, the Demon-Slaying Master thought for a moment, then shook his head:

"No, given the current trend of the Worry-Free Talisman, how can you control its sharp drop? They have basically controlled the exchange rate of the Worry-Free Talisman now."

The vast majority of Worry-Free Talismans on the market are controlled by the upper echelons. Their price is simply a matter of a single thought from those Immortal Lords. As long as those holding the talismans don't sell and continue to hold, stabilizing the price, unless Lü Yang himself encounters problems, it's very difficult for the price of Worry-Free Talismans to fall.

“Therefore, someone is definitely watching you.” The Demon-Slaying Master frowned. “You won’t be in any trouble before they start reaping the rewards. Even if something happens, the news will be immediately blocked.”

"I know."

Lu Yang smiled and revealed his plan: "Therefore, I plan to issue another 1 billion Worry-Free Talismans to the market when necessary."

A billion! A billion!
The Demon-Slaying Master instantly realized: "Ten billion, all at once?"

“No, release them in batches.” Lu Yang shook his head: “Fishing is about taking it step by step. You have to learn to loosen the line and release them in batches so that they can keep increasing their bets.”

At this point, Lü Yang couldn't help but stroke his chin: "Besides, those immortal lords at the top would never have imagined that I would issue an additional ten billion Worry-Free Talismans, because it would take a lot of time just to produce ten billion talismans. Unfortunately, they still underestimated my extraordinary wisdom."

For this reason, Master Tingyou has been working overtime without pay or rest for two years.

"Once one billion Worry-Free Talismans enter the market, the upper-level immortal lords will be unable to contain them, and the price of Worry-Free Talismans will inevitably plummet, triggering a chain reaction."

In the end, everything collapsed!

However, those who will be affected by this collapse will not be the lower-level cultivators, but those high-ranking officials who think they can reap the benefits of all living beings!
"As expected of the Holy Sect," Master Dangmo couldn't help but exclaim.

"You flatter me." Lü Yang waved his hand dismissively.

The Holy Sect had used similar methods on Qi Refining talents many times before; Lü Yang simply hadn't delved deeply into this area, and his methods were a bit crude.

The real cryptocurrency trading experts use more subtle and sophisticated methods.

'This shows that the Heavenly Palace's [Money-Based Rank] and even the entire market system are not yet perfect; that Taiyin Immortal Venerable's attainment of enlightenment was recent.'

Just then, Lü Yang suddenly sensed something and looked up.

Immediately afterwards, a beam of light landed outside the quiet room where he was in seclusion, and a divine sense transmitted a message: "Fellow Daoist Minghe, the Thunder Master of the Outer Path Alliance has come to pay his respects."

The Heretical Alliance, the Heretical True Lord?

Lu Yang raised an eyebrow, immediately put away the Righteous Path Flag, strolled out of the meditation room, and said with a smile, "So it's Fellow Daoist Zhi Lei. May I ask what brings you here?"

The person in front of me was a man with a rugged appearance.

He bowed respectfully and said, "Fellow Daoist, Lord Minghe, I have come on behalf of the sincerity of the True Lords of the Outer Dao Alliance."

"Sincerity?" Lu Yang's heart stirred.

“That’s right.” Zhi Lei nodded, then solemnly said, “Our alliance leader, Ban Shan, has voluntarily stepped down from his position due to poor management.”

"Then we discussed it."

"Everyone agrees that it would be best for you, Lord Minghe, to take on the position of Alliance Leader, as you are the strongest, most powerful, and wealthiest among the Outer Path True Monarchs!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Lü Yang was stunned.

It feels a bit like I was chosen by imperial decree. Was I selected as the head of the Heavenly Palace Outer Road?
Isn't this bad?

Seeing the hesitation on Lü Yang's face, Zhi Lei's heart tightened, and he quickly said, "My lord, there are actually benefits to joining my Heretical Alliance!"

Upon hearing this, Lü Yang glanced at him and thought to himself:

'What good can a bunch of heretics do?'

Seeing that Lü Yang did not believe him, Zhi Lei took a deep breath and continued, "My lord, please do not disbelieve me. The history of our Heretical Alliance can be traced back to the beginning of the Heavenly Palace!"

"Among the founders of the Heretical Alliance, there were several generations of Heretical True Lords. The earliest one is said to have come when the Heavenly Palace was first opened. He witnessed the opening of the Heavenly Palace and recorded it, which is called the [Opening Path Diagram], and it is the most precious treasure of our Heretical Alliance!"

Upon hearing this, Lü Yang finally narrowed his eyes.
