Seeking Fortune and Avoiding Evil in the Cultivation World-Chapter 981 - 477: The Birth of the Primordial Alliance, an Organization Spanning the Spirit Ruins Realm
"It turns out you can really chat with cultivators from all over the world, and even engage in mutual exchanges."
Li Changsheng’s heart stirred.
He sensed the talisman deep within his body, which after refining it, had become his Lifebound Magical Treasure.
With just a thought, a virtual screen appeared before him.
It displayed a virtual forum, where many people were posting.
"Large purchase of Thunder Scale Iron. If any fellow Daoist has access to such a source, please contact me. Price is not an issue."
"Does any fellow Daoist have Deep Sea Marrow Silver? I just need this ore for refining a Magical Treasure and can purchase it at a high price."
"Selling cheap Top-grade Marrow Cleansing Pills. If any fellow Daoist needs them, feel free to add me as a friend to chat. Limited quantity, first come, first served."
"Fellow Daoists, I feel stuck at a bottleneck in my alchemy skills, unable to break through. Does any fellow Daoist offer paid guidance?"
Soon, various posts appeared before him.
These were all posted by fellow members of the Mixed Yuan Alliance.
The so-called Mixed Yuan Alliance was naturally established by that mysterious senior, the Talisman Daoist, as a mutual benefit organization.
Only cultivators with a Life Chart can join the Mixed Yuan Alliance.
Naturally, Li Changsheng was also a member.
Initially, he worried whether that mysterious senior might be hostile to him.
But as time passed, his worries gradually vanished.
After all, this mysterious senior was too immensely powerful, seemingly possessing many special abilities and unfathomable cultivation. If they really intended harm, it wouldn’t be so complicated.
Just a thought from them, and he might be unable to resist.
"From this forum, you can purchase treasures from various places."
"And the prices are very low."
"You can even resell different goods."
"For the cultivators of the Mixed Yuan Alliance, this forum is simply a place to get rich quickly."
Li Changsheng was deeply moved.
He looked at a special token on him—the Ten Thousand Treasures Token.
This token was also a gift from the senior Talisman Daoist.
Every cultivator who received the Cause and Effect Communication Immortal Talisman was eligible for a Ten Thousand Treasures Token.
This special token could transport various treasures.
Even if separated by billions of kilometers, it could arrive in an instant, no matter where you were.
He felt the ability was incredible, as even the legendary Immortal Artifact might not match it.
Or perhaps this was an Immortal Artifact, which is why it could achieve such feats.
It’s known that Immortal Artifacts are extremely rare and precious treasures, even in the Great Xuan Dynasty.
Only some ancient noble families, or the royal family, might possess an Immortal Artifact to guard their destiny.
Each Immortal Artifact can establish a massive ancient noble family.
Yet, the senior Talisman Daoist possessed an Immortal Artifact, illustrating the senior’s mystery and strength.
"Previously, selling some Cloud Mist Stones earned tens of thousands of Spirit Stones."
"As long as you find hot-selling goods, the money-making speed is incredibly fast."
Li Changsheng clenched his fist.
The so-called Cloud Mist Stone is actually a unique ore found in his Yunhe Kingdom.
This ore is very special, containing Cloud Mist Qi, and when activated, it releases vast amounts of water vaporous cloud mist, which can divide the battlefield and confuse enemies.
In the outside world, this ore is highly sought after.
Unfortunately, this ore has long been monopolized by some noble families in Yunhe Kingdom. 𝗳𝐫𝚎𝗲𝚠𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝘃𝚎𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝗺
They don’t allow local cultivators to trade it.
Even if one possesses Cloud Mist Stone, it can only rot in their hands.
After all, local cultivators cannot leave to sell it externally.
Every time local cultivators leave, they are inspected by those noble families to prevent the Cloud Mist Stone from being taken out.
This allowed the various noble families in Yunhe Kingdom to earn enormous profits, filling their coffers.
Unfortunately, ordinary cultivators couldn’t benefit from such trade, instead being harvested by these noble families, becoming increasingly impoverished. Many grassroots cultivators were resentful but helpless.
But now, things were different.
Ever since he obtained the Ten Thousand Treasures Token, he didn’t need to risk transporting these Cloud Mist Stones outside for sale, but could directly use the Ten Thousand Treasures Token, sending them to others.
Every sale earned him substantial profits.
This allowed him, an ordinary Foundation Establishment Cultivator, to earn tens of thousands of Spirit Stones in just one year.
It was indeed a windfall overnight.
"However, unfortunately, each use of the Ten Thousand Treasures Token incurs a thirty percent fee."
"The handling fee is really excessively high."
"But without the Ten Thousand Treasures Token, such cross-regional trade wouldn’t be possible."
"It’s like snatching benefits from those noble families."
Thinking of this, Li Changsheng felt a bit heartbroken because each transaction resulted in the Talisman Daoist taking a thirty percent cut, equivalent to paying a high tax to the Talisman Daoist.
Yet he was willing to do so, for without the Ten Thousand Treasures Token, he wouldn’t even have the opportunity to earn such high profits.
As an ordinary Foundation Establishment Cultivator, earning several hundred to a thousand Spirit Stones annually was already considered good.
How could he obtain such a massive profit?
With so many Spirit Stones, his wealth had increased many times over.
It also allowed him to acquire more Cultivation Resources.
"But my earnings are nothing."
"On the forum, some fellow Daoists’ profits are frightening."
"Like Fellow Daoist Linglong, who knows what their background is."
"They can purchase unlimited amounts of treasures from all over."
"They probably earn over a million Spirit Stones with each transaction, truly enviable."
"I imagine this fellow Daoist has a very high status in reality."
"Otherwise, to gain such massive profits all of a sudden, an ordinary cultivator couldn’t possibly keep it safe."
Li Changsheng envied some fellow Daoists’ profits on the forum, with the most famous being Fellow Daoist Linglong, as this Daoist was too high-profile.
Even he had added them as a friend and traded many Cloud Mist Stones with them.
It also earned him a lot of Spirit Stones.
Moreover, the other party became a long-term client, hoping he could continue trading this special ore.
Truthfully, he could earn more Spirit Stones.
The issue was that his real-world status was too low, merely that of an orphan.
His family and parents had long died due to demons.
So he essentially had no background, and if he suddenly spent a large amount of Spirit Stones, it might attract other cultivators’ attention, inviting terrible disaster.
Although he indeed possessed the Seven-Colored Life Chart Longevity, a powerful Life Chart destined for immortality, having this Life Chart didn’t mean he wouldn’t die.
If attacked by other Foundation Establishment Cultivators, or even High-tier Cultivators, or demon assaults, he would still fall at the enemy’s hands.
So now, the most important thing for him was to remain low-key and gradually enhance his cultivation.
Only when his cultivation reached a certain level could he have the power to protect himself.
Thus, he preferred to earn a bit less money than to expose himself and invite unnecessary danger.
"Every Daoist who can join the Mixed Yuan Alliance possesses a Life Chart."
"Moreover, Senior Talisman Daoist apparently has the ability to see other cultivators’ Life Charts."
"And he is extensively searching for owners of these Life Charts."
"If we can also find other Life Chart owners, we can recommend them to the Mixed Yuan Alliance."
"Upon success, we’ll gain Contribution Points from the Alliance."
"Using these Contribution Points, we can obtain some special talismans refined by the senior."
"This is a huge trump card."
Li Changsheng clenched his fist.
He was fully aware of the senior Talisman Daoist’s capabilities. The senior could refine some special talismans.
For example, the Heaven-Covering Wheel Talisman can form a strong Barrier defense. Once activated, it can protect from any enemy attack without a blind spot, making it a super-shell. Having this talisman is equivalent to wearing a Defensive Magical Treasure, with countless benefits.
Then there’s the Substitute Death Talisman, which can ward off nine deadly attacks, providing the bearer with essentially nine extra lives.
The Heaven-Reaching Bridge Talisman can temporarily construct a void bridge, at crucial moments teleporting the bearer across billions of kilometers, akin to the power of the Great Teleportation Talisman.
Each talisman is a trump card for cultivators.
Every fellow Daoist of the Mixed Yuan Alliance longs to obtain these Spirit Talismans.
