“It is finally over, this price war was truly interesting!” Zhao Lian Yun sighed internally.
The sale of year Gu ended in Fang Yuan’s victory. Many Gu Immortals were shocked by the results.
Such situations were rare, the newcomer actually defeated three seniors in this market.
Most of the people were originally thinking that the newcomer was a wolf while the three sellers were tigers and lions. But in the end, the newcomer was not a wolf but a dragon. The three sellers were not his match, they lost terribly and could not sell their year Gu.
For the following period, this year Gu compet.i.tion’s influence will continue to spread, it will become a tale for people to talk about, Gu Immortals would reminiscence over it.
Zhao Lian Yun started to think about this price war.
She wanted to gain knowledge from this price war, so as to learn something useful for herself.
“Then, why did the newcomer win in this battle while the long time sellers lost?” Zhao Lian Yun asked herself.
Next, she answered herself: “Because the newcomer has great strength, even if the three sellers worked together, they were not his (her) match.”
“Using absolute strength to sweep the market?” Zhao Lian Yun was slightly dazed before smiling bitterly.
She wanted to learn how to enter the market as a newcomer.
Even though Fang Yuan’s method seemed ingenious and meticulous, he had unparalleled strength to sweep the market and suppress all his compet.i.tors, Zhao Lian Yun could learn nothing from him.
Because he used absolute strength!
“Since the newcomer has such strength, why did he not reduce the price from the start?” Zhao Lian Yun asked herself, she felt like Fang Yuan’s actions were a bit pointless.
But soon, when she thought again, realization flashed across her eyes.
“I understand.”
“Starting at a high price and gradually reducing it can earn more profits than dropping the prices immediately, he can also probe the three sellers’ bottom lines. Finally, he is trying to a.s.sert dominance.”
The thoughts in Zhao Lian Yun’s mind clashed continuously.
“After this compet.i.tion ended, the newcomer won. It was no surprise he won with such strength, but he is definitely not satisfied with just one win.”
“The newcomer wants to dominate treasure yellow heaven’s market, not only does he want to defeat the three sellers, he wants to drive these people out of the market.”
“This person is so overbearing…”
“Sigh, when can I possess such strength too?”
Zhao Lian Yun thought of this and sighed deeply to herself.
She had just started managing an immortal aperture, she was very far from Fang Yuan’s level of development.
No matter what, she had already etched Fang Yuan’s fatty will to her mind. Zhao Lian Yun saw him as a mountain, she who had just become a Gu Immortal could only watch and admire him.
Rong Xin, w.a.n.g Ming Yue, and Xie Bao Shu were discussing among themselves.
“Sigh, where did this person come from? They have such great strength, able to satisfy the entire market in treasure yellow heaven alone, our year Gu are literally unsellable now!” w.a.n.g Ming Yue sighed.
“It is not so simple, he is trying to get rid of us entirely!” Xie Bao Shu was pale, his voice was turning shrill.
“Brother Xie is right, this person is selling year Gu at such a low price, for the next few years, the market for year Gu will shrink immensely. No matter who it is, they are going overboard. Not only did they take the bulk of the profit, they also refuse to leave us any leftovers.” Rong Xin had a grim expression.
The three sellers had year Gu, but they could not sell any.
Year Gu was needed by everyone, Fang Yuan supplied this huge quant.i.ty, it caused a tremendous amount of sales, but these three could not get rid of any of their stock.
Since year Gu were easy to raise, they only fed on the water of the River of Time, it was not hard to acc.u.mulate them at all.
This way, not just now, for the next few years, the three sellers would not be able to sell their year Gu.
And for the buyers, since they had year Gu themselves, why would they buy more? Unless the price was even lower, they might want to acc.u.mulate a bit more.
But the three sellers could naturally not sell their year Gu at Fang Yuan’s price.
The three sellers stored their year Gu up for now.
But what was the use of that?
After two to three years, when the market regains its demand for year Gu after fully digesting Fang Yuan’s sales, the price of year Gu will rise again.
By then, the three sellers would be able to sell it, but Fang Yuan could do the same.
If he did the same thing again, the three sellers would not be able to sell off their year Gu once more.
This was strength!
With such a difference in strength, no plots or schemes could work.
Fang Yuan was a very intelligent person, but this time, he acted straightforwardly, it was most effective to directly crush them.
The three sellers became quiet after a while of discussion.
The atmosphere was very heavy.
Because they knew clearly that as long as Fang Yuan had this strength, they would not have an easy time in the future. Even though the sale of year Gu would not disappear, their profits from this business would shrink drastically, they would need to give up on the market in treasure yellow heaven.
“Right now, we can only hope that this person is putting up a front, that his actions were all just to scare us off.” w.a.n.g Ming Yue smiled bitterly and broke the silence.
The other two immortals shook their heads.
This was very unlikely.
“We can work together.” Rong Xin said quickly.
This was a solution.
In the past, the three of them fought and competed, only after a while did they set an agreement to work together and gain profits together for a long time.
“But how can we cooperate with him? The difference in strength is apparent.” w.a.n.g Ming Yue sighed.
Xie Bao Shu a.n.a.lyzed calmly: “That will depend on our ability. If year Gu cannot convince him, we will need to discuss other things.”
“What if he does not agree?” w.a.n.g Ming Yue asked again.
Xie Bao Shu was silent.
Rong Xin sighed bitterly: “If he does not agree and wants us out of the business, we can only give up on the year Gu business.”
There was nothing that could be done about it.
Compet.i.tion was cruel.
Fang Yuan’s strength made it impossible for the three sellers, they could only give up on year Gu.
But how could they give up so easily?
The profit of the year Gu business was sustaining them and the super forces behind them, now that it was destroyed, who could handle the outcome?
“No! I cannot give up on the year Gu business!!” Xie Bao Shu gritted his teeth, he was a lone cultivator, he had been relying on year Gu to support his cultivation and connections to others.
With this loss, it was a detrimental blow to him.
w.a.n.g Ming Yue’s situation was slightly better than Xie Bao Shu, she was once a lone immortal, she had turned over to the righteous path and joined a super force.
Even if there were no profits here, it was not her responsibility. On the other hand, she could rely on her husband and the clan behind them.
Rong Xin had the smallest pressure.
Because he was also a member of a super force, it was a Central Continent super force with deep foundations.
And most importantly, he obtained year Gu from refining Gu. If he did not need year Gu, he could just stop refining it. It was easy for him to change businesses.
“Cooperate with me?” Fang Yuan soon received their transmissions, he sneered.
Why would he cooperate?
He could easily devour the market alone, why would he hand over the profits to them?
Fang Yuan rejected them immediately.
Twelve million immortal essence stones!
These were Fang Yuan’s gains in the price war.
Even though his price was low, the quant.i.ty sold was too immense, he still acc.u.mulated a huge sum.
“When I drive these three sellers out of the market, I will be able to raise prices slightly.”
“But for the next few years, the three sellers will likely still stay in here.”
Fang Yuan evaluated.
On one hand, they were unwilling to give up, on the other hand, they wanted to probe Fang Yuan’s foundation and see if he was scamming them.
And finally, even though treasure yellow heaven’s market was taken by Fang Yuan, not everyone bought things from treasure yellow heaven.
For example, w.a.n.g Ming Yue’s super force behind her would buy a huge portion of her year Gu. Other than that, there were many forces which would buy their year Gu even if prices were higher to maintain relations.h.i.+ps.
Of course, as long as Fang Yuan continued to dominate the market of treasure yellow heaven using such methods, in five to six years, these three sellers would have an even harder time. After all, the prices were too low, even with their deep relations.h.i.+ps, buyers would want to buy from Fang Yuan.
In the entire Gu Immortal world’s market, treasure yellow heaven was a huge proportion of it.
From now on, Fang Yuan only needed to dominate treasure yellow heaven, he would eventually influence the other markets and become the biggest seller of the year Gu business in the entire Gu Immortal world. As for the others, even if they could do some year Gu business, they could not compare to him.
“After repaying my debts, I still have ten million immortal essence stones left. But for the next two to three years, this way of getting profits cannot be used.”
While Fang Yuan was thinking of how to use these immortal essence stones to manage his immortal aperture, Sixth Hair approached him.
He gave Fang Yuan some excellent news —
“Elder Fang Yuan, the food path Immortal Gu that you wanted me to refine has been created!”
