Beginning Of Multiverse Saga

Chapter 251: Jade Saintess

Hearing the woman’s words, a few young men felt quite displeased but most of them still nodded in agreement.

"Let alone in the future, even right now, it is not to be underestimated," a middle-aged man next to the woman shook his head and said, "The scenes we saw as we walked through the Yue Kingdom to reach here were quite terrifying."

"Within the Yue Kingdom, we did not see any beggars, nor did we see any bandits. All families are abundant in food, and there are many prosperous families. It is truly admirable."

Thinking back to the scenes he had seen, he could not help but sigh in admiration.

"So what?" one of the young men said, "Even if there are many mortals, they are just ants..."

"Ants?"

Before that person could finish speaking, the woman laughed, "Weren’t we all once ants?

"Even if mortals are ants, there are good seeds among them, and they can gradually become dragons that can soar in the sky. Were our ancestors not the same?"

"Within the Yue Kingdom, commoners are able to live safely and happily, and many places are prosperous. They will be able to double in number every few decades, and if that is the case, what about the seeds from the mortals?"

Standing there, she spoke softly.

On the way here, she noticed this.

Compared to other places, the commoners within the Yue Kingdom lived much safer and happier lives.

The Yue Kingdom had been unified many decades ago, and the Wind Thunder Sect had sent out cultivators to change the terrain of many places, making those places more suitable for agriculture. They had also used their magic energy to make the crops more abundant.

By now, mortals’ living conditions were no longer a problem, and at the very least, no one starved to death.

Because of the Wind Thunder Sect, the Yue Kingdom’s government gave aid to commoners; not only were orphans taken in by the government, but mortals who had many children were also given rewards.

Because of these various measures, the Yue Kingdom’s mortal population grew quickly, and it had doubled in just a few decades.

And this was just the beginning.

To cultivators, a few decades was nothing.

For mortals, this was enough for them to reproduce many generations.

Moreover, the more mortals there were, the more seeds suitable for cultivation there were.

The Wind Thunder Sect would take in more and more disciples, and the sect would become more and more powerful.

The woman could not help but lightly sigh and feel admiration.

"After going back, we should try to convince the Sect Master to learn from the Wind Thunder Sect," she thought to herself.

In actuality, it was not just her; everyone else had the same thoughts.

The reason why they had come here, apart from trying to convince the Wind Thunder Sect’s Sect Master to join the Jade Sect’s side, was that they also wanted to observe just how the Yue Kingdom had become so powerful in just a few decades.

Those changes had aroused the Jade Sect’s curiosity, so they had sent ambassadors.

This woman was one of the most prestigious figures in the Jade Sect, and she had status similar to an Elder.

"What a beautiful scene," the Jade Saintess thought to herself.

In actuality, the Jade Saintess knew that if she reported all of this, the Jade Sect would be able to copy everything.

If the Sect Master was willing, it most likely would be possible.

Because the Sect Master, and second Sect Master has kept tight control on the Jade Sect.

In the Jade Sect, there were two Sect Masters, and both of them were good friends.

It was known that both of them came from different worlds, and in another world, one was a Princess, and the other one was her maid.

After coming here, they both have the strength of True Monarch, and they joined as the Elders of the Sect.

Later, they became Sage, and old Sect Master’s retired.

As normal procedure, it was going to be a competition between them. But both have decided to become Sect Leaders together, and cooperate with each other.

And because of this, Jade Sect was mostly unified.

Compared to the Wind Thunder Sect, the Jade Sect was powerful and had a deep foundation.

So, if she learned these things, she would tell them, and everything will be copied there.

As such, they had done their best to observe their surroundings, and as they travelled, they felt deeply shocked.

"So many spirit items and spirit grass..."

When they saw the things on sale in the Wind Thunder Sect’s Pill Hall, they could not help but feel startled.

This was so even for the Jade Saintess.

Within the Pill Hall, there were boxes of unique spirit materials and spirit grasses everywhere, and it did not seem like they lacked anything.

Both the number and variety made them feel awed.

Of course, to the Jade Saintess, this was not what she was surprised by.

As the Jade Saintess, she naturally enjoyed the best things and would not be awed by some ordinary materials.

What she was startled by was that the price of these things was much lower than in other places.

In fact, some spirit grasses were half the price of the ones outside.

"How is this possible?"

Looking at the prices of these things, they couldn’t help but wonder.

It was very difficult to obtain spirit grasses and spirit materials.

If one wanted to grow spirit grasses, one had to set up spirit formations that took up much manpower and resources. Afterwards, they needed to use the spirit qi to create unique spirit fields.

This was one of the reasons why spirit gardens were so difficult to obtain.

It could be said that every spirit field was backed by an incredible amount of investment.

Moreover, things were not over after creating the spirit fields.

Apart from nurturing spirit fields, the planting of spirit grasses was a very big field.

Unless it was a cultivator with great experience, they would not be able to take care of spirit grasses very well.

This was why spirit grasses and spirit materials were very valuable, and many of them would be worth cities outside.

How were they so cheap here?

Looking at the price labels, they could not help but wonder to themselves.

If Sharky was here, he would have been able to answer their questions.

The reason for this was because economies of scale.

Since he is from the modern world, he knew how to increase the production.

And for spirit grasses, although they were the spirit grass, after all, they were also just a grass, so there’s not so much difficulty in creating this.

Cultivators’ methods and their magic energy sped up this process.

As such, in just a few decades, the Wind Thunder Sect was able to develop spirit grasses that had powerful vitality and also grew quickly.

It was because of these optimized spirit grasses that they were able to produce so much spirit grass, resulting in cheaper prices.

Moreover, the large numbers of cultivators also assisted with this.

Cultivators did not just use up resources; they helped with production.

The Yue Kingdom contained many spirit qi nodes.

In the past, because of various reasons, many spirit qi nodes could not be used. Only the places with good spirit qi nodes could be developed and turned into spirit fields.

Now, after the Yue Kingdom had been unified, things were different.

The spirit qi nodes that other cultivators felt did not have much value and were not worth spending the effort to activate were developed by the Wind Thunder Sect.

Every year, the Wind Thunder Sect would send many cultivators to do this.

After decades, large amounts of land had been turned into spirit fields, increasing the production of spirit grasses.

Because of all of these factors, the prices of spirit grasses naturally went down.

Looking at the prices of these spirit grasses, the Jade Saintess thought to herself.

If they could buy spirit grasses from here and sell them elsewhere, would they not be able to double their profits?

However, she quickly realized that the Wind Thunder Sect would not allow them to do such a thing.

It would be fine if they did a small-scale operation, but if they did this long-term, the Wind Thunder Sect would not sit by and watch.

After all, these prices were just benefits for the Wind Thunder Sect disciples.

Spirit pills and spirit grasses were essentials for cultivators, and if the prices were too high, it would be detrimental to their cultivation.

Moreover, those prices were just for within the Wind Thunder Sect.

Even though the Wind Thunder Sect’s prices were lower than competitors’ prices outside, they were not low to such an extent.

It could be said that just by selling these things, the Wind Thunder Sect made a hefty profit every year.

"What a good place..."

After walking around the Wind Thunder Sect, the Jade Saintess sighed and said, "It’s a pity that this is not our Jade Sect..."

As she looked at the surrounding scenes, she was filled with admiration.

Mortals could also come here to cultivate and compete with others.

There was no conflict in this kingdom, and all people lived stable and happy lies.

She had once dreamed of such things, but had hidden them in her heart. Now, she has seen her dreams come true in this place.

This made her feel quite awed.

However, she did not forget her goal in coming here.

Soon, she made a request to see the Wind Thunder Sect’s Sect Master.

As the Jade Saintess, she naturally had not come here for no reason.

To the Jade Sect, the Yue Kingdom was just a remote place, and if it was not for special circumstances, they would never come here.

The reason why the Jade Saintess and the others had come here was to rope in the Wind Thunder Sect to join the Jade Sect’s camp.

As the war between the Jade Sect and Demon Sect became more and more intense, both sides were being whittled away at, forcing them to look to outside factions.

The Wind Thunder Sect was one of them.

If it was the original Wind Thunder Sect, to such a massive creature like the Jade Sect, it would not have been worth mentioning.

However, the current Wind Thunder Sect had unified the Yue Kingdom many decades ago and had done many things, making it so that the Jade Sect could not underestimate it.

As such, the Jade Saintess and the others had come here to rope in the Wind Thunder Sect.

After all, if they did not do this, others would. The Jade Saintess guessed that the Demon Sect’s ambassador was most likely on the way as well.

Even if she could not convince the Wind Thunder Sect to join them, as long as they were not tempted by the Demon Sect and did not join them, that would be fine.

Time gradually passed.

A few days later, the Jade Saintess’ request was accepted.

The Jade Saintess came to a spirit garden, and right after entering, she was greeted by the fragrance of spirit grasses, which made her feel fresh and cool.

"It’s almost comparable to the Jade Sect..." the Jade Saintess inwardly sighed and thought to herself.

As the Jade Saintess, she had a very high position in the Jade Sect and had enjoyed most things in the sect.

She could sense that the vitality of the spirit veins in the core of the Wind Thunder Sect was not any inferior to that in the Jade Sect’s core.

This made her feel quite surprised.

She silently continued onwards and looked around.

When she walked to the end, she saw a young man.

He was slender but had a tall and straight figure. He stood there by himself, and hearing her footsteps, he slowly turned.

Under the faint light, his appearance seemed quite handsome, and his expression was calm as he nodded, "Nice to meet you."

"The Jade Sect’s people pay their respects to the Sect Master."

The moment she saw Sharky, the Jade Saintess’ heart trembled and she instinctively felt that he was someone, which she knew.

But she didn’t recognise him at all.
