Chapter 275: 275: Rapidly soaring reputation points
However, if sect powers like Zhuang Huanling were to join forces, they might be able to gather enough.
But this is just for one quota, it’s impossible to sacrifice everything for one person.
“No wonder they say the last three secret lands won’t have any challengers, they simply can’t afford to take the risk.”
“Only a nouveau riche like us would dare to try.”
After roughly assessing the situation around him, Jiang Xiaobai returned to AnRan’s side.
“Boss, what were you up to?” AnRan asked curiously, “I just saw Xiao Ruyu’s team, they seemed to be aggressively looking for Xiao Wuwei.”
“Looking for Xiao Wuwei?”
Jiang Xiaobai raised an eyebrow and a playful expression crossed his face: “Interesting. What could Xiao Ruyu possibly want with Xiao Wuwei? Could she be planning some mischief?”
“Mischief? What kind?” AnRan was stunned. “You don’t think they’re planning to make a move on us, do you?”
“Probably not, I think they’re out to get Xiao Yuwei.”
Jiang Xiaobai laughed softly: “Xiao Yuwei has managed to get a head start every single time. I bet they’re peeved about that and just want to knock her down a peg or two. But how does any of that concern us?”
“By the way, get ready, we’re going to sell some Frenzy Demon Stones.”
This could turn into a huge fortune, if managed properly, ten thousand Frenzy Demon Stones could be worth a frightening amount.
Only an idiot would turn down free money.
Jiang Xiaobai never missed a chance to amass wealth, he truly was a money-making demon king.
As for AnRan beside him, he was simply money-eyed.
Upon hearing Jiang Xiaobai’s words, his eyes seemed to glow a bright green.
“Boss, how should we sell these things?” AnRan asked in excitement.
Then a fingernail-sized milky grain appeared in Jiang Xiaobai’s hand. After tossing it around a bit, a sly smile crossed his face.
“This thing is very valuable, its worth is not inferior to the Ghost Mother Flower.”
“For the first seven days, you can only exchange these for Frenzy Demon Stones, hmm, the exchange rate is ten of these for one Frenzy Demon Stone.”
“Let’s stick with that for now.”
AnRan nodded, and Jiang Xiaobai gave him over two thousand Frenzy Demon Stones from his storage space. Jiang then disguised AnRan as a fierce and tough-looking hunk.
“Too bad we can’t change your voice. Even if we use spiritual power to fake it, these guys would still notice. Anyway, it is what it is.”
Jiang Xiaobai said slowly, patting AnRan’s shoulder: “How much money we’ll ultimately make depends on how well we handle this.”
“Leave it to me, boss. I’ll con them right down to their underwear.”
“Go away, you’re too unscrupulous. What use would we have for their underwear?”
“Then what should we do, boss?”
“Everything. Everything apart from their underwear!”
With that, AnRan gave Jiang Xiaobai a thumbs-up, a stern look on his face.
“You’re really ruthless, boss!”
And just like that, AnRan was off like a gust of wind.
Knowing there was money to be made, no one moved faster than him. Jiang Xiaobai trusted him completely when it came to money-making. If Jiang claimed himself to be the best at it, then AnRan would definitely be a solid second. None could rival him.
The reason he wanted people to use these white essences to exchange for Frenzy Demon Stones was simple: he planned to play the cunning merchant, squeezing every last penny out of everyone.
Spiritual stones and precious items were things that everyone had, and if he didn’t start off with a reasonable price, a panic could easily ensue.
Moreover, they would only exchange their extra treasures and spiritual stones for Frenzy Demon Stones, they wouldn’t dare to use the items that could potentially save their lives.
Yet if he started off by amassing wealth, towards the end, no one would be able to afford the Frenzy Demon Stones.
However, if he started by exchanging these life-infused essences, everyone would probably do their best to gather them. After all, these items could be found within the Mad Demon Secret Land, it would just be a matter of how many they could find.
Plus, while these essences were certainly valuable, they paled in comparison to the current usefulness of Frenzy Demon Stones.
Not only that, but in Jiang Xiaobai’s opinion, this method would also incentivize others to look for opportunities within the secret land rather than hanging around the altar.
Crucially, only five people could enter a secret land in a day. Plenty of people wouldn’t compete for this quota right off the bat, so what would they do with their spare time?
Why, look for opportunities, of course.
Once these opportunities were in hand, Jiang Xiaobai would do everything he could to exchange them for Frenzy Demon Stones, letting them taste the sweetness of this deal.
Imagine, if you had four Frenzy Demon Stones, you could only enter the first secret land. But even then, you’d still have one Frenzy Demon Stone left over.
Would you rather sell or throw away that Frenzy Demon Stone, or alternatively, spend a day looking for things, and gather enough Frenzy Demon Stones to enter the next secret land?
Of course, cultivators would choose the latter—who wouldn’t want a better opportunity?
An opportunity equates to strength, and only with strength can you have a say!
“Tsk tsk tsk, absolutely perfect.”
Jiang Xiaobai chuckled inwardly. The situation was now stable, all he had to do was wait.
Everyone would behave themselves for today, but tomorrow would be a different story.
With nothing particular to do, he started looking at what resources he currently had on hand.
He had two chances to use the grand array inside his storage space. In Jiang Xiaobai’s estimate, the Fire Qiankun Array could easily withstand a Unity Period-level opponent.
The weakened version of the Nine-Bend Yellow River Array could probably hold its own against someone at the Transcendence stage.
It seemed his life-saving methods were pretty good.
There was also one opportunity to forcibly stabilize his cultivation, thirty reputation points, and one random teleportation talisman.
If he managed to complete the mission of escaping Xiao Yuwei this time, the Kunpeng Swallowing Sky Skill would evolve once again.
You could say that he had been incredibly lucky this time.
Furthermore, he still had half a month left. In this half month, he could definitely reap numerous benefits. Once he left the Mad Demon Secret Land, using up all his resources to break through to the middle stage of Transcendence seemed entirely feasible!
He was growing one step closer to the stage of Dividing the Gods!
Next, Jiang Xiaobai checked his reputation. It had reached a total of 600 points!
He had 525 points before, and he earned a total of thirty more, making it 555. Where did the extra 45 points come from?
“Hmm, I didn’t really do anything notable after coming here, and even if I did stir up something that made everyone notice Hong Shixian, the numbers don’t add up. How does that relate to my reputation points?”
Jiang Xiaobai looked at the reputation points in front of him, feeling somewhat puzzled.
Just as he was thinking about this, the number in front of him changed.
610 reputation points!
“What the-? What on earth is going on here?”
“Getting reputation points while sitting at home?”
Just as he was marveling, his reputation points jumped again.
620 points now!
