Chapter 1452

In Eastern Sea, Xie Bao Shu hosts his friend You Xian Zi for another year Gu harvest in his jade pavilion, which stands beside large patches of vicissitude trees and emits the aura of a rank six Immortal Gu House. He hands You Xian Zi a mortal year Gu that came from the newcomer selling in treasure yellow heaven, not his own crop. Vicissitude trees are an immortal material with very narrow use, since their many dao marks make them very impure and few Gu Immortals value them. Xie Bao Shu plants the trees on a large scale and his ingenious method of raising and attracting wild year Gu with them makes him one of the three giants of the year Gu market. Handsome and warm natured, he is the only lone cultivator among the three sellers. He sells only a small portion of his year Gu into treasure yellow heaven and the larger portion to Eastern Sea’s super forces. He will not easily give up his treasure yellow heaven share, since that market is the whole world’s and in some ways counts for more than those super forces. ^{ch. 1452}

You Xian Zi guesses a region’s super force may back the newcomer. He adds that the newcomer, having broken the hidden rules of the business, will probably be suppressed and pushed out by the three sellers. ^{ch. 1452}

In Northern Plains’ Lang Ya blessed land, Fang Yuan spends days activating rank eight time path Immortal Gu Years Flow Like Water, gained from Hei Fan’s true inheritance, to mass-produce mortal year Gu for sale in treasure yellow heaven. He funds the operation with over one million seven hundred thirty thousand immortal essence stones he had borrowed and converted into rank seven red date immortal essence. The market response has been extremely good these few days. A message reaches him that a super force wants to buy his year Gu in bulk and discuss long-term cooperation with his true identity. Fang Yuan suspects the traditional sellers sent it under a disguised identity and, uninterested in cooperation, dismisses it outright, intent on waging a price war instead. ^{ch. 1452}

In Central Continent, Rong Xin disguises himself as a huge buyer. He approaches Fang Yuan to learn his background, but Fang Yuan ignores the proposal. Surprised, Rong Xin reasons that a seller with genuine backing would welcome more buyers, and guesses this one probably has little stock left, having sold only about a tenth of what Rong Xin holds himself. He guesses the mysterious seller is selling early to get ahead of the three main sellers. ^{ch. 1452}

In Southern Border’s Dragon Return Valley, Wang Ming Yue, an external supreme elder of Yao clan, holds a rare gift among the three sellers: a tributary of the River of Time that yields wild year Gu naturally. She had found and secretly managed the tributary as a lone immortal before Southern Border’s righteous path forces discovered it. After a secret exchange Yao clan won it, Yao Tian Ze married her, and Yao clan openly claimed Dragon Return Valley as its territory. This year’s harvest runs thirty percent above normal. With the other two sellers still holding back, she decides to sell first rather than risk a shrinking market if the newcomer keeps selling. Her sale immediately causes an uproar in treasure yellow heaven, and Gu Immortals speculate a price war may follow, one that could benefit buyers. ^{ch. 1452}
