If it weren’t for the military base on the periphery, as well as the traffic in the vicinity all using newly constructed exclusive passages,
no one would have guessed that there was something abnormal in these mountains.
When the personnel on the periphery saw Zhou Xuan appear, they hurriedly ran over to greet him respectfully.
Zhou Xuan declined their kind offer.
After concealing his aura and becoming quite ordinary, he quickly disappeared from the sight of the base personnel.
These personnel found nothing unusual about this.
Transcendents came from all walks of life, the easiest to deal with were those who were businessmen originally.
Next were the monks and cultivators on the Divine Path.
The Taoists were also affable, but they all disliked troubling these people for help.
After leaving the base, Zhou Xuan first returned to his old home.
He visited his parents and used mana to clear their meridians.
Zhou Xuan also shared some of his insights on Martial Path Techniques with them.
Following the appearance of the Merit Monument, Martial Path Techniques were naturally also available for exchange.
And the prices were cheap.
But if one wished to successfully cultivate under the environment of Water Blue Star,
without the nourishment of Spiritual Energy, one could only rely on consuming Blood Food nourished with Spiritual Energy to enhance one’s vitality.
This caused the prices of Transcendent ingredients, which were initially dropping due to an increase in collaborative projects, to be driven up again.
Especially after experts conducted detailed studies and publicly acknowledged that if children learned one of the several Health Care Skills from the Martial Path Techniques from a young age, they could become stronger, smarter, and more potential-filled.
This sparked a frenzy among countless people.
No one knows how many parents, after competing for school district houses and cram sessions for their children, added another competition to the mix, vying for Transcendent ingredients and seeking experts to guide their children in Cultivation and Health Care Skills...
During the brief time Zhou Xuan stayed at the Zhou Family home, his parents received several calls from relatives and friends.
Basically, these were either asking if they could help buy some Transcendent ingredients or inquiring if there were any little tricks related to Cultivation Health Care Skills to share.
As for troubling Zhou Xuan himself,
after experts interpreted the Yunlai Immortal Sect, to which Zhou Xuan belonged, as a colossal entity,
it was the relatives and friends who dared not ask Zhou Xuan himself for help.
Zhou Xuan chose to pretend he didn’t see this.
Afterwards, he bid his parents farewell and went onto the street.
He then saw a selling point for Transcendent ingredients.
Hmm... it seemed to still be near the selling point that the Zhou Family cooperated with the officials, and quite a few people were crowded there.
These people looked either rich or noble.
Someone was dressed head to toe in expensive designer brands.
But this was not the frightening part; the frightening part was those who were dressed properly but without a visible brand.
One could tell at a glance that these were master-customized items.
Normally, these kinds of people wouldn’t stop there.
Yet now they were on the streets, under the blazing sun, loudly protesting that there was a problem with the selling point.
Otherwise, why were they all here, lining up, drawing lots, shopping online so many times?
Every time, they could only buy a little bit of Transcendent ingredients.
It seemed that certain accounts managed to purchase much of the Transcendent ingredients.
Forcing them to pay a high price on the black market for their necessities.
Most of them were not short of money, but their money didn’t come from the wind.
One or two times might be chalked up to the other side’s good luck, but seven or eight times? Could this still be luck?
It definitely was cheating! There definitely was a conspiracy!
In the protesting crowd, someone proudly tilted their chin, talking big as if they had seen many such cases before, demanding an explanation today.
Zhou Xuan frowned slightly, yet knew that to ensure fairness, online purchasing involved the use of supercomputers for random selection.
The privilege of this supercomputer was very high, so high that those who could alter the system didn’t need to profit from it.
And after ruling out all impossibilities,
the impossible becomes possible?
So, were the other parties genuinely lucky, managing to grab the goods every time?
Zhou Xuan also took an interest in the matter.
