Novel Bin Chapter 957 War Preparation IV
Chapter 957 War Preparation IV
Meanwhile, a massive panic hit Dongfang City as many cultivators made rash purchases after learning about the impending war. The cultivators, both from within the city and from other cities, flocked to buy healing pills and various other types, leading to a rapid decrease in the city's supply of pills and potions.
The biggest impact was experienced by the Yao Clan's medicine shop, which happened because their stock of pills and potions was not commensurate with the large number of buyers, and the Sky Cloud Realm itself did not have too many skilled alchemists, so the production of those items was not that fast. Despite their ability to serve customers, they were unable to fully meet the buyers' demands, leading them to impose purchasing restrictions on their customers.

The Yunlong Chamber of Commerce faced the same situation, but their shop's circumstances were less serious than the Yao Clan's, especially with two skilled alchemists on their side.
After they received information about the heretics' plan to invade the Sky Cloud Realm a week ago, Qu Qiyue had contacted people from her realm to prepare all the pill materials available there, and they were on their way to that realm.
In addition, Tian Sha immediately moved to buy various kinds of pills and potion ingredients from the Dongfang Clan, especially since the clan had long decided to support the Yunlong Chamber of Commerce, and her status as a member of the Tian Clan was also very helpful for them.
Moreover, Zhiyu Yushen, along with her Zhiyu clan, fully supported them. She even relocated her medical center to that shop, which made the place even more busy and famous, making the people of the Yao Clan not dare to do anything against them.
Furthermore, they still had a large number of different types of pills and potions that Ling Yun had left for them, and not many cultivators had the ability to purchase them, especially since their price was quite high due to their grade.
Even though many people urged and begged them to lower the prices of their items, Yi Mingxia and the others did not budge at their insistence, and they continued to sell their wares at their usual prices.
In the end, those who were financially able to buy those items still bought them, even though the prices were very high, especially since they were all afraid of dying if the heretics attacked them. However, Yi Mingxia forbade them to buy in large quantities, citing emergency supplies. Besides, sales of the Yin and Yang Pills also increased rapidly, including sales of the dual cultivation technique, especially since they would not be able to consume both pills without purchasing the technique.
"Aunt Mingxia, I think we should contact Yun'er to ask for additional stock, or our stock won't be enough because buyers from all over this realm keep coming to this city."
Yi Mingxia nodded in agreement with Situ Luan. "Yun'er and the others are still in the Burial Realm right now, and the distance between the two realms is only five days' journey through the void. However, because Icarus' speed isn't very high, it took them that long, so I think Sister Yu might be able to go back and forth from both realms faster."
"Moreover, Yun'er already told us that she wants to train in that realm for the next nine days, so I think it's fine if Big Sis Yu returns to this realm first, and it won't interfere with her plans to train there." Mei Yi joined in, continuing to observe the customers who kept coming in and out of their shop.
"That's right." Fortunately, distance did not hinder their communication, so Yi Mingxia immediately activated the harem connection and contacted her son.
[Why did you suddenly contact me, Mom? Would you like to request an additional stock of pills and potions?]
'Does that mean you already know about the situation in this realm?'
[Yao'er and Ling'er previously contacted me, and they explained to me about Tian Huang's announcement about the plans of those people from the Earth Cloud Realm.]
'Can you ask Sister Yu to send them to us?'
[Haha! After they told me that, I've asked Zhou Yu to return to the Sky Cloud Realm, and she will probably arrive there in two to three days, especially since she returned alone.]
Yi Mingxia exhaled a breath of relief upon hearing that. 'That's good! That way, we can fulfill our buyers' requests. Anyway, what else did you order Sister Yu to do? After all, Long Wei and the others are out there now, and we don't know about their news, so I'm afraid something bad will happen to them if the war really breaks out.'
[Mom, you don't need to think about them, okay? I've asked Zhou Yu to provide them all with protection while they're outside, and they can also return to the fortress whenever they want. Moreover, all of them are cultivators who already have a lot of experience, and they should be able to read the situation clearly, so I think they will be fine. Instead of thinking about them, it would be better if you thought about the fetus in your womb, and you don't need to work too hard to prevent something untoward from happening.]
After hearing that, Yi Mingxia smiled while rubbing her slender stomach, especially since she was only a week pregnant, so her appearance certainly hadn't changed. 'Then what are your plans for Feng Yao and the others? Have you asked them to return to our residence? Our cultivation is still too low, so I don't want them to participate in that war; it would be better if they hid inside there.'
Instead, Ling Yun sighed after hearing that, and he then explained to his mother about Feng Yao and the others' decision, making Yi Mingxia's expression turn worried. [Mom, they are all cultivators, and they want to become stronger, so I agreed to their wish to participate in that war. Even so, I've warned them strictly to flee straight away if they encounter a critical situation, and I'm sure that they won't act stupidly by wasting their lives.]
'I hope you're right about that, Yun'er. Anyway, the shop is busier now, so we'll help Zhirou and the servants serve the customers.' After Ling Yun agreed, Yi Mingxia deactivated the harem connection and then informed Situ Luan and Mei Yi about their husband's decision.

Meanwhile, an old man was standing alone, facing the golden Buddha statue in front of him, but his expression looked very anxious.
"Why do you look restless, Senior? Are you thinking about the upcoming war?" Another old man approached Fu Tu, the leader of the Buddha Sect, and inquired.
"You're right, Fu Jian." Fu Tu replied with a heavy sigh. "Honestly, I've been thinking about this war since Kong Ming came here some time ago, but I'm not sure if we'll succeed in winning this war, especially since Hundun is behind those heretics. His power can bring great chaos to the people of this realm, which might lead to us killing each other, so I'm really worried about our future."
Unfortunately, Fu Tu's worries were unfounded as Hundun would not participate in the war, especially since the injuries he suffered from Tang Chen were extremely severe, and he would not be able to recover within a month.
Fu Jian nodded in understanding before telling him. "Anyway, I just came back from the Tianyi Immortal Sect, and Tian Huang apparently managed to convince Shen Tianxi to send their disciples to that mysterious tower. Besides, the situation in the sect also seems to have undergone quite a significant change, and they are no longer as focused as before in their cultivation; they even decided to participate in that war, so our strength will be further enhanced by their presence."
"Oh?" Fu Tu turned to him with a surprised expression, as he had mistakenly thought that Tian Huang would fail to convince Shen Tianxi, but his guess turned out to be wrong. "That's good; they are strong, so we will be better prepared to face those heretics. Anyway, you can inform our disciples to focus on preparing themselves as best as possible, and we will go down the mountain a few days before they arrive in our realm."

"Yes, Senior."
After Fu Jian left, Fu Tu sighed deeply once more before meditating in front of the golden Buddha statue. However, his thoughts were preoccupied with their chances of winning the war, particularly as it would determine their future.

Meanwhile, Huang Xiaoxian was walking back and forth in front of a black statue, and her expression was very worried as she tightly grasped a broken life stone that belonged to Huang Gai. "Damn it! I sent him there to monitor the Ouyang and Nangong clans, but he never gave me any news because he turned out to be dead. However, I still can't understand how people from that realm could notice his presence. He had several artifacts to protect himself, including a concealing one, but he's dead."
As she thought about that, black smoke emerged from the black statue before forming a shadow, which was none other than Gu Tianchong's shadow, and Huang Xiaoxian knelt on the floor with a trembling body. [What about the tasks I gave you regarding those two clans? Have you succeeded in taking control of both?]
