Yang Qi raised his eyebrows slightly, thinking rapidly in his mind, "What on earth happened? Why did the price of cultivation resources increase so much? Is it a general price increase?"
“With so many cultivation resources, the price has increased so much in a short period of time. Unless some practitioners are hoarding them, it is impossible for almost all resources to increase in price so drastically.” Yang Qi said secretly in his heart.
Hoarding
Suddenly, Yang Qi seemed to have thought of something, his expression changed slightly, and he said in a deep voice, "Could it be..."
Speaking of hoarding, Yang Qi thought of one thing, that is, he and Emperor Wu Shi had told Taixu Saint Lord and others that there might be a great crisis in the endless universe. Facing the great crisis, Taixu Saint Lord and others had a very simple solution, which was to improve the strength of the practitioners themselves.
If one wants to improve his strength, he cannot do without cultivation resources. Even practitioners at the peak of the Martial Emperor level still need the support of cultivation resources to move faster.
As the two practitioners mentioned earlier, almost all cultivation resources related to high-level martial emperors have increased in price. It is possible to hoard some of the rarer resources. However, some of the cultivation resources are relatively common, and it is not easy to hoard them.
In other words, raising the prices of all the resources needed for high-level Martial Emperor cultivation is definitely not something that ordinary people or ordinary cultivation forces can do.
The Lord of the Alien Universe is exactly the existence that can do this. Combined with recent events, Yang Qi naturally thought that it might be the Holy Lord Taixu and others who took action and began to hoard resources for cultivation!
After all, the cultivation resources of the endless universe, or the cultivation resources that can be produced within a certain period of time, are limited, especially the high-end cultivation resources such as the high-level martial emperor level. These cultivation resources are very precious in themselves, and even practitioners at the high-level martial emperor level may not be willing to use them for a long time.
If it were normal times, even the Lord of the Universe would not be able to bear the cost of using these precious resources to train the practitioners under his command. But now, after knowing that the Endless Universe might encounter a crisis, the Lords of the Universe began to hoard resources so that the practitioners under their command could improve their strength in a short period of time and deal with the next crisis. This was not a strange thing.
Therefore, after just a little thought, Yang Qi understood that all this was most likely the work of Taixu Saint Lord and others.
However, all of this did not have much impact on Yang Qi or the Earth Clan. The reason was simple. The Earth Clan had only Wu Shi Great Emperor and Yang Qi reach the high-level Martial Emperor level. To be more precise, Yang Qi and Wu Shi Great Emperor were only one step away from the peak of Martial Emperor. The cultivation resources required by ordinary high-level Martial Emperors were of no significance to Yang Qi and Wu Shi Great Emperor.
Therefore, no matter whether the price of cultivation resources at this level increases or decreases, Yang Qi and Emperor Wu Shi will not care too much. So Yang Qi just shook his head secretly and did not continue to think about it. He returned to the Tiangan Star Region through the teleportation array.
Just when Yang Qi returned to the Tiangan Star Region, the three people including Tongtian Saint Lord, who had been secretly observing the movements of Taixu Saint Lord's lineage, gathered together again.
Wanxiang Saint Lord looked at Tongtian Saint Lord and the other person in front of him and said solemnly, "We have already investigated clearly. The recent increase in the price of resources required for high-level Martial Emperor cultivation is caused by Taixu Saint Lord."
In fact, they had already noticed the changes in the prices of cultivation resources before, but they did not pay too much attention to it at the time. After all, tens of thousands of practitioners returned from the Kingdom of God during this period, and these practitioners had more or less obtained some opportunities in the Kingdom of God.
Of the opportunities in the Kingdom of God, only a small part of the opportunities of physical objects can be brought back to the endless universe. Most of the opportunities obtained by practitioners are actually opportunities of inheritance. Inheritance opportunities require the support of resources if you want to quickly improve your strength and means. Otherwise, you can only rely on the practitioners' own slow understanding and accumulation.
In this case, even if the cultivation resources increased, Tongtian Shengzhu and others did not care too much. It was not until the cultivation resources increased by more than 10% that Tongtian Shengzhu and others realized that something was wrong.
After all, the prices of these cultivation resources have long been stable after a long period of change. Even if they rise in a short period of time, they will stabilize over time. But now, these cultivation resources are rising all the way, which is obviously a bit wrong.
So the three of Tongtian Saint Lord started to investigate, and only now did Wanxiang Saint Lord find out why the resources for cultivation had generally increased by 20% to 30% in recent times.
"Saint Lord Taixu?"
Tongtian Saint Lord raised his eyebrows slightly, and then said in a deep voice, "Haven't we arranged for practitioners to closely monitor the movements of Taixu Saint Lord's lineage? How come they didn't notice such an important thing at all?"
"We can't blame them for this. The hoarding of resources was done very secretly by Saint Taixu and his companions. They didn't directly arrange for their practitioners to buy in large quantities, but purchased in bulk through multiple merchants." Saint Wanxiang paused for a moment and continued, "The environment of the Source Saint Church headquarters is special, and our identity as the Lord of the Alien Universe is not very useful. For the sake of reputation, those merchants will basically not sell out the buyer's information. Therefore, in order to investigate the buyer behind the scenes, we paid a considerable price, and only then did we know that Saint Taixu and his companions were behind it."
Upon hearing what Saint Lord Wanxiang said, Saint Lord Tongtian and Saint Lord Xuancang couldn't help but nodded. If that was the case, it would explain why the practitioners on their side who were secretly observing Saint Lord Taixu's lineage didn't get the news at all.
"With so many resources generally rising by 20% to 30%, even for practitioners at our level, it is definitely a big price to pay." Saint Master Xuan Cang paused for a moment and continued, "There is no point in hoarding these cultivation resources. Over time, the price will naturally fall. What exactly do Saint Master Taixu and others want to do by doing this?"
Although the prices of these cultivation resources have increased by 20% to 30% in a short period of time, they are almost all stable in production. After a while, the prices of these cultivation resources will inevitably fall back. And Tongtian Saint Lord and others will hardly take the initiative to provide cultivation resources of this level to their practitioners, but they have to obtain them by themselves. If Taixu Saint Lord and his lineage want to use this to attack Tongtian Saint Lord and others, it is simply impossible.
"According to the information I received, it seems that Saint Master Taixu and his companions are still continuing to acquire these resources. Even other masters of other universes have begun to follow the example of Saint Master Taixu and his companions and collect these cultivation resources." Saint Master Wanxiang paused for a moment, then looked at Saint Master Tongtian and the others and said, "What should we do next?"
