Many people in Guanling City returned to the human world from the ghost realm, and a huge ghost disaster quietly subsided. However, the power of the "Yin Bing Yin General" shocked the countries in the Southern Wilderness.
Even though this ghost disaster was "confirmed" to be a battle of revenge and not a long-planned conspiracy in the ghost realm, the kings of various countries still have lingering fears, fearing that one day the mysterious and powerful "Yin Bing Yin General" will come back.
Because of this, after the Guanling City incident subsided, under the leadership of the overlords of the three principal kingdoms of Chu, Yue and Wu, the countries in the Southern Wilderness concluded the [Ghost Domain Covenant]. The covenant stipulated that the allied countries should join forces to resist ghost disasters.
When one party is in trouble, all parties will support it.
Within a few days after the [Ghost Realm Covenant] was proposed, almost all the Southern Wilderness princes joined the alliance without hesitation. Even those princes with long-standing grievances at this time put aside their past prejudices and became more determined to control the ghost trouble.
A high degree of unity was achieved.
Yao Yun also joined this alliance.
It is said that the binding force of this alliance is not very high. It is similar to the alliance signed by the ancient princes and the emperor and the king. Generally speaking, if one party is in trouble, all parties will support it. Once a large-scale army of ghosts attacks, the beacon fire will be fierce, and all roads in the southern wilderness will be supported.
The princes came to help.
However, Yao Yun didn't pay much attention to the alliance's protection. If a large-scale ghost disaster really broke out, it would definitely be a war. It would be good if all countries could protect themselves, and there would be no talk of rushing to the aid of other countries.
In the final analysis, one's own strength is the last word, and it is unreliable to expect the protection of others.
Perhaps the kings of various countries also understood this truth. On the one hand, the countries in the Southern Wilderness began to vigorously reorganize and train their troops, and on the other hand, they began to purchase ghost stones.
Countries around the world saw the huge role of ghost stones in the ghost disaster in Guanling City, and they all wanted to leave themselves a last resort.
As a result, ghost stones became completely popular in the Southern Wilderness, and the prices of ghost stones in various countries soared.
Originally, the price of the Ghost Stone was not low, often costing several taels of gold. However, due to Yao Yun's large reward of fifty taels of gold, the price of the Ghost Stone was suddenly raised to fifty taels of gold.
When the kings of various countries heard the news, they were heartbroken, but there was no other way. The kings of various countries and the nobles of the noble families in the country followed Yao Yun's example and purchased the ghost stone for fifty taels of gold!
However, the effect is mediocre and it is difficult to receive ghost stones.
Xidu has offered fifty taels of gold as a bounty for ghost stones for a long time, and its reputation is the loudest, and its credibility is extremely high. It pays the money with one hand and delivers the goods with the other hand. It is safe and reliable, and it is very popular among the merchants.
For the same price of fifty taels of gold, merchants would rather spend more time coming to Xidu to sell ghost stones than in other countries in the Southern Wasteland.
Even more savvy businessmen saw the huge business opportunities of ghost stones and began to hoard them. They held a large number of ghost stones in their hands and waited for the price of ghost stones to increase.
Not to mention, within a few days, the price of ghost stones in various countries began to rise quietly, fifty-one taels, fifty-two taels, fifty-three taels...the increase was quite large.
The acquisition of the Xidu Ghost Stone was greatly affected, and suddenly there was a lot less.
Yao Yun's current need for the ghost stone is not that urgent. The factor for promotion of the fourth-grade [Yin Bing Yin General] to the fifth-grade top elite teacher lies in his cultivation, not the ghost stone.
Yao Yun has just broken through to the second level Qi Refiner. It will probably take at least several years to become a third level Qi Refiner. With this period of time as a buffer, the acquisition of the Ghost Stone is not that urgent.
He was happy to stop purchasing ghost stones now. Purchasing ghost stones put too much financial pressure on Yao Yun. At the same time, he just got a city, Guanling City, and needed a lot of money to invest in it.
That night, the people in Guanling burst into tears of gratitude to Yao Yun. Yao Yun was still a little depressed and sad at first. He once wondered if he was being too sinister. However, this mood did not last long. When he woke up the next day, Yao Yun felt relieved.
.
As the king of the Xi Kingdom, he acted in the interests of the Xi Kingdom and was righteous no matter what.
He has the most basic compassion and empathy as a human being, but he cannot treat foreign people who do not really belong to the Xi Kingdom with equal love. His ability is limited and he can only protect the interests of the people of the Xi Kingdom.
In Yao Yun's opinion, he is a good king if he can make the people of Xi Kingdom live a better life and live happier lives!
In the past, the people of Guanling City were not the people of Xi State, but after that night, the people of Guanling City had a sense of belonging to Xi State, and they were the people of Xi State.
Yao Yun immediately began to develop Guanling City. Xidu's intensive farming, livestock and fish farming, and major factories and workshops successively settled in Guanling City, injecting new vitality into this emerging city!
Unknowingly, the Xi Kingdom already had three majestic cities, dozens of villages and towns, and a population of hundreds of thousands. The formerly weak Xi Kingdom also unknowingly began to look like a big country.
When Yao Yun stopped acquiring ghost stones and turned to vigorously develop new cities, other countries were very happy to acquire ghost stones. Among them, the wealthy Izumo country was one of them. The price of a ghost stone in Izumo country has risen.
When he reached sixty taels of gold, countless merchants rushed to the clouds to sell ghost stones.
Yundu Palace.
Izumo Bo asked the Izumo Bo next to him: "Amber, how is the acquisition of the Ghost Stone going?"
Amber, who stood aside respectfully, immediately said: "Your Majesty, we have purchased two hundred ghost stones so far. If we have more than eight hundred ghost stones in our treasury, we currently have more than a thousand ghost stones in Izumo Country.
"
Mr. Izumo nodded with satisfaction: "Well, good job. Continue to purchase ghost stones. As long as you can receive ghost stones, it doesn't matter if they are more expensive."
"Your Majesty..." Amber stopped talking.
Uncle Izumo didn't even raise his eyes: "If you have anything to say, just say it. You are Gu's most trusted minister. There is no need to hide what you have to say."
Amber was quite moved: "Your Majesty, that old minister is bold enough to speak nonsense. I think the price of ghost stones is too high and it's not worth buying too much!"
Uncle Izumo shook his head: "Amber, think about how several ghost kings dared to blackmail Gu for the ghost stone. The attraction of this ghost stone to ghosts can be imagined. Although a ghost stone of sixty taels of gold is expensive,
But it’s worth every penny and has endless uses.”
Uncle Izumo stood up from the throne, looked leisurely in the direction of Xidu, and said:
"Everyone thinks that Uncle Xiyun spent 500 ghost stones to exchange the army of ghosts for Guanling City and tens of thousands of people, but Gu doesn't think so. This is clearly a show performed by Uncle Xiyun!"
When Amber heard this, he seemed to think of Sixty Acres, with a look of shock on his face.
"Your Majesty, what do you mean... Uncle Xiyun used 500 ghost stones to bribe the elite ghost master [Yin Bing Yin General], so that the ghost disaster in Guanling City came about?"
Uncle Izumo nodded approvingly: "You are right, [Yin Bing Yin General] is extremely powerful, almost the same as the top elite divisions. They must be extremely thirsty for ghost stones at this time, and someone has sent a large number of ghost stones.
...The ghosts naturally let themselves be driven by them!”
After telling this astonishing speculation, Izuyunbo was filled with emotion: "Xiyunbo is truly an outstanding person, capable of bending and stretching. He has been dormant for several months without revealing anything. He is willing to buy ghost stones at a price that is more than ten times higher. He is decisive and courageous in his actions.
It's a sure-kill blow, this guy is just like a little vixen, very cunning and cunning!"
