Douluo Continent: Kunxu Descends, Second-Player Players Are Stunned

Chapter 76 Qian Xunji's Overt Scheme

Seeing the water stains on the Panlong Staff, Qian Gujun held the jade bottle and used the newly released martial spirit hall technique to quickly restore his soul power and maintain the external release of his martial spirit, while looking around for help.

However, everyone subconsciously kept their distance from him, forming a vacuum around him. Qian Gujun could even clearly sense the fear and bitterness in his classmates' eyes, as if they were afraid of being tainted by something that could only be understood but not explained.

Qian Gujun wanted to cry but had no tears.

Family members, does anyone understand?

His martial spirit is rotten!

Luckin Coffee, who was watching the drama unfold, stepped forward, patted Qian Gujun on the shoulder, and comforted him, "Don't be sad. You traded someone else's smelly stuff for a fragrant pill. You made a profit!"

"Besides, when you take exams in the future, most people will remember what happened today. With this biological weapon, who would dare to fight you?" Xue Bingcheng's terrible idea was so despicable that it completely baffled Qian Gujun.

It seems that this is indeed possible.

In this way, wouldn't I be able to secure the top spot in the practical course for the rest of the year?

With this in mind, Qian Gujun seemed to be able to accept today's unexpected event.

Yu Xiaogang is truly his lucky star!

Upon hearing this absurd logic, Bibi Dong's expression changed from one of indescribable disbelief to one of horror.

Wait, are these three orphans really that bizarre? With so many onlookers around, if they all believe this absurd story and start developing in that direction, wouldn't the future practical assessment be...?

My God!

Bibi Dong couldn't even imagine what kind of filthy thing would possess the academy in the future!

Specializing in attacking the lower body in the Soul Arena—that's truly terrifying!

Some are happy, some are sad.

While Bibi Dong was imagining the terrifying power of biological weapons, the teachers at Wuhun Academy had already begun to flatter Qian Xunji.

The things they said were nothing more than, "His Holiness the Pope is so generous, willing to offer such an expensive elixir as a reward for the competition," and "Qian Gu Jun is lucky."

Of course, Qian Xunji wouldn't tell them that this was a signal flare he had deliberately released.

To consume a ten-thousand-year-old elixir, a Soul Master's cultivation level must at least reach that of a Soul Venerable or even a Soul Grandmaster. This is a lengthy process, which can motivate those who obtain the elixir to cultivate diligently!

Regardless of who obtained the pill, whether it was Yu Xiaogang or Qian Gujun, the hidden costs associated with this pill are enormous!

For Yu Xiaogang, one pill could not change his fate. He had to find a way to buy a second and a third Ten-Thousand-Year Dragon Blood Origin Pill. He wanted to take the pill as soon as possible, and he also had to buy resources to speed up his cultivation.

Yu Xiaogang's martial soul problem cannot be solved by a few pills.

Going through this whole process will cost him at least tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of gold soul coins!

Furthermore, if the Blue Lightning Tyrant Clan wants to purchase additional pills, they must send their prodigies to the Spirit Academy to study. You should know that the Spirit Hall almost never sells these ten-thousand-year-old pills to the public. Even if the honorary elders of the Spirit Hall are qualified to purchase them, the Spirit Hall has a purchase limit policy!

Those outsiders who want it can mostly only purchase it through students of the Martial Soul Academy.

But others are still just others.

Discount policies like those offered by Wuhun Academy are only available to internal staff.

If you can get a discount on these pills that cost tens of millions of gold coins, you can save hundreds of thousands to millions of gold coins at once.

In order to save money, wouldn't these sects have to send their geniuses to the Martial Soul Academy to study?

Once they enter the Spirit Academy and are brainwashed by the Spirit Hall's ideology, are they still pure sect members?

For Qian Gujun, if he wanted to take this pill, he would also need to purchase a large amount of resources that could accelerate his cultivation.

At the same time, through this battle, countless people learned that Yu Xiaogang had defied fate and changed his destiny through the elixir of the Spirit Hall, and although he lost, he was still glorious.

GG, hence the name.

As a result, the pills from the Spirit Hall became extremely scarce luxury items. Because market demand far exceeded supply, sects had to follow the rules set by the Spirit Hall.

Those forces that are unwilling to submit to the Spirit Hall and harbor ulterior motives will inevitably have to obediently submit in this great wave of elimination!

This is what is meant by subduing the enemy without fighting!

As for why Qian Xunji would come up with such a complex operating method—

Of course, it's because I've encountered enough pitfalls!

In the internet age, there are some classic "free + purchase" bundled promotions.

For example, they might give away a learning machine for free, but you have to buy a six-year membership at once.

For example, a water purifier might be given away for free, but you need to purchase filter cartridges for 10 consecutive years, with the total cost of the filter cartridges payable in a lump sum.

From this, we can deduce—

This pill, priced at tens of millions, actually costs around one million.

Using it as an expensive reward that is not needed for the time being but can be used later would not only make the Pope seem very generous, but also stimulate a group of hidden consumers. It is more cost-effective than giving away soul bones.

As long as one-time items are not used as rewards, the Spirit Hall can make money steadily!

—As Qian Xunji expands his knowledge and understanding of the myriad realms alongside Xiao Guang, he gains a deeper understanding of how to make money.

The recent series of reforms all stemmed from Qian Xunji's insights into the ways of wealth.

Of course, Qian Xunji would never pass on the Burning Technique; such a secret was best kept to himself. Too many people learning it would disrupt internal harmony.

There's a Soul Master Tournament every five years, and the Spirit Hall is trying to profit from it!

Therefore, faced with these praises, Qian Xunji merely smiled perfunctorily and said in a feigned magnanimous tone, "This is all for the sake of the children! Only when the children have a future can the Spirit Hall have a future!"

As Bibi Dong watched her teacher speak eloquently, to be precise, Qian Xunji was no longer her teacher, but some old man who had possessed Qian Xunji's body. Goosebumps involuntarily rose on her arms.

She always felt that the smile was meaningful and seemed to have ulterior motives.

No matter how Bibi Dong thought about it, even with over twenty years of governing experience, she couldn't figure out the key point.

But her intuition kept telling her that the recent reforms of the Spirit Hall must be preparations for some major event.

What exactly happened?

Before Bibi Dong could figure it out, her arch-nemesis from the next class suddenly walked up to her, shook his head, and looked at her with a hint of mockery in his eyes.

"You—" Thinking of how Xiao Gang had been humiliated by this woman, Bibi Dong couldn't help but unleash a strong killing intent.

Unexpectedly, the other person raised an eyebrow, completely ignoring Bibi Dong's change in expression, and instead took out a stack of thin booklets from his pocket and stuffed them into her hand.

"I understand you!" That expression was full of excitement, like someone wanting to seduce someone of their own kind.

Bibi Dong had only turned to the first page when her hand felt as if it had been burned. She hurriedly threw the booklet away, and her ears gradually turned red.

Good heavens, how can such an absurd thing happen in this world!

But why is her heart beating so fast? Why is she so excited, as if all the blood in her body is boiling?

Could it be that she also wants to—

The devil's whispers rang in Bibi Dong's ears. As if possessed, she stepped forward, picked up the booklet, and stuffed it into her pocket.

Yes, study hard!
