I became a fox girl and was captured by the True Dragon Saint

"..."

As the saying goes, the higher the Tao, the higher the devil. Then the Tao becomes two feet high and the devil becomes three feet high.

You two are sick!

Sect Master Gu Yuetian's face turned dark green.

He stared at the scene in disbelief, replaying it over and over again.

It has been a long time since he suffered such a bad defeat.

"Hmph! Garlic is lucky, let's retreat!"

Helplessly, the evidence was conclusive, and in the end he could only wave his sleeves in anger and grit his teeth to announce the withdrawal of troops.

Jiang Ke'er jumped up happily and shouted to the Taiming Sect members on the city wall: "Master! We won! I got it again~"

She actually got it again.

The leaders of all the peaks of Taiming Sect were also in disbelief.

Yiqin smiled as if she had expected it, and said to the enthusiastic people of Chang'an around her in a leisurely manner: "Fellow villagers, please don't send us off anymore. It is our Taimingzong's responsibility to protect the lives and safety of the people. Now we should get busy with other things."

The people in Chang'an City surrounded her reluctantly, saying, "We are all so grateful to Emperor Taiming! If it weren't for Emperor Taiming's people coming to help, we would have been crushed to death!"

"That bunch of heartless sects only know how to snatch resources and don't care about the lives of mortals like us!"

"We must spread what happened today and let the world know the ugly faces of those selfish people from the Jiantian Sect!"

This is really an unexpected bonus.

Before Jiang Keer asked them to defend the city, they didn't know that they would receive so much gratitude from the people.

This would be a great boon to the reputation of Taiming Sect! And Jiantian Sect would become the villain who bullied others by taking advantage of their power in the eyes of the people.

With the speed of information dissemination in Chang'an City, the hub of Shenzhou, it is expected that the good deeds of Taiming Sect today will spread soon, and the selfish behavior of Jiantian Sect will spread throughout Shenzhou at the same speed.

This is enough to make a profit, not to mention that Jiang Ke'er actually snatched the Xu Mo.

“Well done hahahahahaha!”

Sect Leader Yuan was completely unable to conceal his inner ecstasy.

It is no exaggeration to say that everything today was a huge profit!

This is real fame and fortune!

Unexpectedly, the plan that Jiang Keer finally decided on actually worked like a charm. Could it be that all this was within her calculations?

"You are quite good at snatching the Ruins Demon!" Sect Master Yuan's eyes lit up, "You are even faster than Sect Master Gu!"

"It's just so-so." Jiang Ke'er said modestly with a blank expression, waving her hand, "Let's sort out the spoils."

At the place where Xu Mo died, a large amount of spiritual power was released. At the same time, in the center of the dense spiritual power cloud, a hill of natural treasures was left behind.

Among them are medicinal herbs, magic crystals, and various magical minerals.

No one knows why these things appear in the belly of the Xumo. It seems that there is an existence in the dark that collects the spiritual power originally shared by the world, turns it into the Xumo, and uses it as a test from heaven.

Turn this Shenzhou into a trial ground like the Bijiu Emperor River, so that capable people can harvest resources and become more and more dazzling.

Mediocrities will be ruthlessly eliminated.

As a result, the rules of China have become more cruel, and the weak have less chance of survival.

"Luckily we managed to grab it," Sect Master Yuan sighed, "Now the Taiming Sect can hold out for a long time!"

Jiang Ke'er was a little confused: "The pill market has been making money recently. After I optimized the pill formula, although the store lowered the price, it has always been a steady profit... How could it be burning money so quickly? Where did the money go?"

“Well…” Sect Master Yuan coughed dryly and looked at Yiqin for help.

"It's not good for too many people to know about this, even you," Yiqin said, "The Taiming Sect is doing something big recently and needs a lot of money."

"Oh."

Jiang Ke'er didn't ask any more questions. After all, what Tai Mingzong did would definitely not be a bad thing, and she believed in Yiqin's decision.

Seeing Bingbing and Nuannuan running over and practicing seriously while bathing in spiritual power, Jiang Keer smiled.

This robbery is worth it, and we should get it even for the sake of our daughters' strength.

What's more, she said that she would take care of all the future demons.

******

After completely absorbing all the spiritual power, the Taiming Sect's group boarded the cloud boat and continued to return to the sect to practice.

Without even having time to catch her breath, she hurried to the general manager's office to continue checking the market conditions reported by shops across Taiming Sect.

As expected, the Jiantian Sect took action.

They wanted to monopolize the market and prevent Taiming Sect's price war from causing any trouble, so they began to buy up Taiming Sect's goods in large quantities.

But they didn't know that even at such a low price, Tai Ming Zong could still make a profit.

However, if this continues, when Taiming Sect’s raw materials are used up, they will still buy all of Taiming Sect’s elixirs.

In the long run, when Taiming Sect has no goods to sell, they will still be able to control the initiative in the market. At that time, they can use their monopoly advantage to raise prices and finally make several times more money than Taiming Sect!

Jiang Keer certainly wouldn't let that happen.

She smiled harmlessly and said to her assistant, "Please contact the marketing director of Jian Tian Zong for me and tell him that I want to purchase materials from Jian Tian Zong. Oh, and remember to be humble and act more pitiful."

(1/2 The next update will also be late, but it won’t be a bummer.)

157. Betting

The marketing manager of Jiantian Sect arrived soon.

It was a familiar face—Xu Chen.

As the saying goes, when enemies meet, they become particularly jealous of each other. Jiang Ke'er wanted to twist this guy's head off, but she knew that his head was empty and his brains were hidden somewhere else, so she suppressed the thought.

"Taiming Sect has applied to purchase materials from Jiantian Sect." Jiang Keer's voice was a little haggard, and she seemed to be holding the financial statements of Taiming Sect in her hand.

The report was so green that it made people feel uneasy.

Seeing Xu Chen noticed the report in her hand, she blushed again and put the report away.

"Stop acting." Xu Chen rolled his eyes at Jiang Ke'er calmly, "You were so arrogant when you were robbing the Ruins Demon this morning, but now you're changing your attitude faster than turning the pages of a book? Are all you foxes like this?"

Damn, this guy really didn’t lose his memory.

He knew that he was Jiang Ke'er, and after all, he had once roamed the world under the name Qingyi, and he was also an insider.

"Then I'll ask directly." Since the other party didn't pretend, Jiang Ke'er didn't hide herself anymore. "What did you do?"

"What did you do?" When Xu Chen mentioned this, he pretended to be confused even though he knew the truth. He looked at Jiang Ke'er with a half-smile, "Junior Sister Jiang Qingyi, didn't you come to me this time to discuss the medicinal materials procurement project?"

Obviously he won't answer this question directly.

Several high-ranking officials of Jiantian Sect will try their best to cover up and will never acknowledge the changes that have taken place in the world.

They will always be certain that this illusion is the reality as always... Only in this way will others not doubt it.

"Well, let's get down to business," Jiang Ke'er looked up at the other person's chin, "Taiming Sect is now going to purchase the basic raw materials for Qingxin Pills, Zhixue Pills, and 18 other pills from you. We will buy them in large quantities at a 30% discount to the market price."

"What? Are you out of ideas?" Xu Chen looked down at Jiang Ke'er. "Didn't you arrogantly say a few days ago that you would destroy Jian Tian Zong's market? Why are you humbly asking for cooperation today?"

"Stop talking nonsense. Why don't you make money if there's money to be made?" Jiang Ke'er didn't look like she was begging for help. "Taiming Sect needs to maintain production, and you also need to deal with those medicinal materials that have been piled up in the warehouse and can't be sold recently... Why don't we cooperate and make money together?"

"That's right," Xu Chen disagreed, "The recent price war you guys have been engaged in has indeed left us with a lot of raw materials in stock, with nowhere to use them. But when you use up all the raw materials, that will be the time for my Jiantian Sect to make a lot of money!"

"Okay, then you guys keep waiting. Guess how long you have to wait." Jiang Ke'er smiled. "We have been selling goods, while you have to keep spending a lot of storage fees and get nothing. Let's see who loses more."

"Oh, don't think I don't know how long Taiming Sect can hold on," Xu Chen calmly flicked his folding fan, "Just like your half-dead Saint Ancestor, the current Taiming Sect is no longer the behemoth it once was. I know exactly how much inventory it has."

"..."

"You can fool others, but not me," Xu Chen's eyes seemed to see through everything. "We have known each other for too long. I know your methods and Taiming Sect inside out... Although you have improved the Taiming Sect's elixir formula and reduced the cost, you have limited materials. If you don't get supplies, you won't be able to hold on for long."

"...You actually knew about changing the formula." This really surprised Jiang Keer.

She thought that her attainments in alchemy were so high that no one could tell from the level of Shenzhou.

"I also followed the national teacher into the void for training. You are not the only one who has had adventures and broadened his horizons." Xu Chen exudes a confident aura. Even though he had been chased by Jiang Ke'er many times and had to flee in panic, he is now calm and fearless.

"I really underestimated you." Jiang Ke'er looked seriously at the opponent she had fought for many years.

It is indeed not easy for this indestructible cockroach to persist in disgusting himself for so many years.

"Now Jian Tian Zong has issued an order to prohibit all sects, big or small, from selling raw materials for elixirs to Tai Ming Zong, otherwise Jian Tian Zong will cut off all trade ties with it." Xu Chen said calmly, "They can tell the difference between the important and the unimportant... In this way, although Tai Ming Zong will not die soon, it can only survive with meager profits and slowly die, and will not pose any threat to Jian Tian Zong at all."

"You guys really have no martial ethics at all." Jiang Ke'er smiled bitterly.

"Each each other."

After Xu Chen finished speaking, he turned and left.

The negotiations fell through.

However, after Xu Chen left, Jiang Ke'er's expression changed and she laughed out loud.

"What was the result of the negotiation?" Yiqin came over and asked Jiang Ke'er about the negotiation situation. "You looked so happy. Was the negotiation successful?"

"No, it collapsed."

"..."

"But I have already learned the information I wanted," Jiang Ke'er bared her fangs, "They really have a lot of material inventory. The idea of ​​this price war is correct. The Jiantian Sect seems to be sitting still, but in fact it is losing more than we thought."

Just as Xu Chen said, in this elixir price war, Taiming Sect seemed to be losing money, but it has been making profits because of the improvement of the formula.

However, because the Jiantian Sect had no harvest every day, the large amount of accumulated materials and pills required storage costs.

The storage of items such as elixirs and magic tools is not as simple as ordinary goods. Those spiritual items need to be nourished with magic crystals every day to maintain their efficacy and power.

Otherwise, they would quickly become mortal over time.

In this era of scarce spiritual energy, this storage cost is astronomical!

"But we don't have much raw materials left," Yiqin said worriedly, "When the time comes, we'll have to give them a bargain."

"Don't worry. The longer we hold on, the more goods they will have in stock," Jiang Ke'er said, with a Dragon King-like smile. "So, their daily storage costs are actually increasing exponentially. It won't be long before even Jian Tian Zong can't bear that astronomical figure."

"When the time comes, we will be the only buyer of materials in the market, and they will come to us crying and begging us to buy them."

Jiang Ke'er was confident about all of this, and of course, the Jiantian Sect was equally confident.

They thought that Taimingzong would be the first to collapse.

"I'm afraid Taiming Sect won't be able to hold out until then," even Yiqin thought so. "Recently, the herb-collecting teams in the Ancient Realm of Learning have been severely suppressed. They already have to guard against the suppression of the other three major states, and now they have to worry about the Jiantian Sect's secret mischief..."

"It's okay, we still have the Demon Ruins." Jiang Keer said.

Yiqin didn't understand why Jiang Keer was so confident in snatching the Demon Ruins. She could see that Jiang Keer was not in her prime now, otherwise she wouldn't have allowed the Jiantian Sect to be so arrogant.

However, she seemed to have other ways to save the now half-dead Taiming Sect and kill the arrogance of the Jiantian Sect.

It seems that all the bets from now on will be placed on that demon.

(2/2)

158. Learned a lot

Jiang Ke'er has been so busy lately that she can't even take a few minutes to rest.

"Sir, there is a letter sent to that address, and I am here to pick it up for you," said the assistant.

"Who is the sender?" Jiang Ke'er asked without even raising her head.

"Bingbing and Nuannuan."

Jiang Keer then raised her head, let out a long breath, and stretched.

"Put it on the table. Go out for a while."

After the assistant left the room, Jiang Keer tore open the envelope and held up the folded letter inside.

[Mom, long time no see, we miss you...]

The writing style of the letter was immature, but Jiang Keer could feel the pure emotions between the lines more clearly.

The beginning of the letter mostly expressed the author's thoughts about Ke'er and Xiaoxian, and then it became a record of the two little ones' experiences.
