Chapter 457 Development of ruins (23)
"It's gone up quite a bit." An Jing looked at the prices and found that not only the weapons, but also the elixirs and talismans had increased in price a lot.
Those with large consumption have not yet, but those with slightly smaller production have all increased.
"Isn't it?"
Huo Qing took the purchase list and complained with great dissatisfaction: "Especially life-saving items such as the 'Healing Talisman', the price has simply doubled. It seems that big forces are raising prices."
"We usually talk about the invisible big hand controlling the natural market, but in the critical period, every hand tightens its grip. It's really not benevolent!"
"But it's not without good news!"
However, when he said this, Huo Qing raised his brows and became a little embarrassed and excited: "Although the exploration of the ancient ruins is still on the outer level, there are some clues about the situation inside!"
"This ancient ancient ruins is huge. It is a complete small world in the cave. It is quite dangerous. There are many ancient demons and demons, as well as automatic puppets from the Taoist period in the ancient times. The monks who rashly go deep in will soon be severely injured. Only A small number of prepared teams can come back alive.”
"As far as I know, during the first exploration of the Zhouhu Gang, a high-level Qi Refiner and twelve middle-level people died!"
"And the Flame Claw Gang even lost a deputy gang leader who was in the foundation-building realm, as well as five Qi Refiners!"
"A few days ago, even the exploration team supported by a subsidiary of the Luofu Group was trapped in it. A total of three foundation builders and more than 50 Qi refiners died!"
——Oh, more people died in this foundation building than in a single battle here. All the monks in the Tianyuan world still have a deep foundation.
An Jing raised his eyebrows. This was probably the reason for Huo Qing's excitement - many people had died from his former boss, his former enemies, and the Luofu Group that everyone hated.
Once they die, many positions will become vacant. Although the safe zone will be chaotic, it also represents more opportunities.
And the recycling hut that Huo Qing is now running must have made a lot of money recently: the price of magical weapons has increased, and the price of second-hand magical weapons will naturally increase as well.
As for my embarrassment, it was because of a misunderstanding.
"There are indeed traces of human existence found inside the cave."
Huo Qing looked at An Jing and scratched his head: "Some people even met the human race in the ruins, but they fled directly on the spaceship and were unwilling to contact us."
"Those human races have white hair and red eyes. I heard from the news that they should be a branch of our human race that has adapted to the spiritual environment of the cave sky... It seems that An Jing, you are really not a remnant of the ancient ruins of the immortals. We have all misunderstood you!"
——Ha, so it turns out that the Immortal Ancient survivors still have such obvious physical differences?
An Jing was shocked. Fortunately, he had not thought of pretending to be a remnant of the ancient immortals, otherwise it would have been embarrassing.
Although he said it last time, Huo Qing's meaning this time represents the thoughts of the two members of the Rebel Army, Tie Shou and Xi Yu behind him - there is a high probability that they will not continue to pursue An Jing's true identity.
"Hmm...precious information. But I think it's more than just ruins exploration."
The information Huo Qing summarized was very detailed, but An Jing still felt that there were some gaps.
He picked up the water mirror and read the news of the recent period, keenly noticing the many details in this series of news: "There is a lot of news, Chonggang Town has resumed operation, our warehouse has also been reactivated, and the investigation of the ancient ruins has Exploration begins…price increases are normal.”
"But look here, there are also 'rewards for attacking the Golden Crow in Chonggang Town', 'encouraging the construction of wilderness fortresses and early warning of safe zones', and many encouraging policies for wilderness development - how much firepower can be used to explore the ruins? I see that all this firepower is going to be used in the wilderness to build those wilderness fortresses!”
At this point, An Jing nodded and said firmly: "I think Xuanye City is planning to enter the wilderness." Huo Qing thought about it carefully and suddenly realized: "Indeed! If you think about it carefully, there has been no new news for a long time." Let’s start a war! The last time Xuanye City opened a new safe zone, it was the ‘Bisha Sea’ in the north, at least it was my grandparents’ generation.”
"I haven't paid much attention to the wilderness in recent years, and the Golden Crow has appeared. It is indeed time to clean up the surrounding wilderness and open up a new safe zone!"
"That's it." An Jing smiled.
The Immortal Ancient Ruins, at least more than ten years ago, that is, when the exploration team of the 'Initial Cave' was there, there was already a group trying to explore it.
Now it seems that the Luofu Group in Xuanye City has concealed the information very well. He has been secretly exploring it for more than ten years. This time, he was forced to make it public by the coordinated efforts of other groups.
Regardless of what happened to the 'people of the ruins' in the ancient ruins, the simple and easy-to-get things among them have long been taken away by the group. What is left are only some hard-to-gnaw bones, which are left to the casual cultivators to fill them with their lives. .
Even if the people of the ruins ran away when they saw someone, An Jing felt that it was not because the other party was afraid of strangers, but because they had been frightened by the Luofu Group and regarded themselves as enemies from the outside world!
“I’m not afraid of rising weapon prices.”
An Jing did some calculations and found that the cost had increased by 30 to 40%, which was still within the acceptable range - but the price increase of the healing element series was an unexpected gain.
He took out the 'life-extending buds' from Taixu's magic weapon that were gradually no longer needed after the beast tide receded. He handed them to Huo Qing directly: "Sell them all, and get the money." There’s definitely something to be gained.”
"Five!"
Huo Qing was really shocked. It was incredible that An Jing could take out one of this kind of plant and plant seeds that can detoxify, heal injuries, and prolong life. But now he can actually take out one in one go. Out of five?
"That's for sure, that's for sure..."
He took a deep breath and replied: "It's not just a profit, it's a huge profit. But how can such a treasure be used to earn good deeds? It's like bartering for good things!"
"An Jing, you don't know that although this ruins is dangerous, it also has extremely rich rewards - the concentration and cleanliness of the spiritual energy in this cave world are closer to those before the demon tribulation, and the demons and beasts inside are all special caves. "
"An Jing, if you have any needs, tell me directly when the time comes. With the life-extending buds in hand, we can exchange for whatever we want!"
Speaking of this, Huo Qing seemed to have thought of something and reminded: "By the way, there are actually many veins of spirit stones in this cave that are almost not contaminated by demonic energy."
"An Jing, if you have the spiritual stones in your hands, sell them quickly if there is a channel. The price of the spiritual stones will definitely drop after a while!"
——Yes, it seems that now it is logical to get rid of some spiritual stones that I can’t use.
An Jing raised his eyebrows. He was experienced and thought further than Huo Qing.
First of all, all the major groups must know that there are a large number of pollution-free spiritual stone veins in the cave. If these spiritual stones are brought out by the exploring monks, they will undoubtedly promote a large number of mid-level Qi refining monks around Xuanye City. Promote to a high level, and maybe some of the high-level monks can become foundation builders.
The strength of cultivators around Xuanye City will be greatly improved - at this time, Xuanye City took advantage of the situation and launched a policy to encourage exploration and open up the wilderness.
This is a set.
Immortal ancient ruins will consume a group of monks, and opening up the wilderness will also consume a group of monks.
Through exploration and development, unstable pressure can be released, and at the same time, new safe zones can be opened up. The price is nothing more than selecting a few newly promoted foundation-building monks as managers of the wilderness town. The Zi Mansion within the group also has its own jurisdiction.
The era of pioneering is coming.
