Fake Husband of the Glamorous CEO-Chapter 404: Remove Elixir Restrictions
After the world’s first "treasure" level flying sword was exposed online, it ignited a frenzy of discussions.
It was showcased on social media by a Qi Refining Early Stage expert from East Middle.
He became the first person in the Qi Refining Stage to use sword flight, and the image of him remotely controlling the flying sword to penetrate city walls also amazed the netizens.
What truly dazzled the cultivators was the impressive combat performance displayed by this early-stage Qi Refiner from East Middle in the arena!
Originally ranked beyond 300 in the arena, the expert from East Middle shot up to the 31st position using a handy magical treasure flying sword!
He even held his own against middle-stage Qi Refiners without magical treasures, eliminating all three he encountered!
Even when facing late-stage Qi Refiners, he still demonstrated a formidable strength.
This awareness dawned upon the public that a good weapon could immensely enhance a cultivator’s power.
The combat by this expert from East Middle made the public realize the importance of magical treasures and highlighted the profession of Artifact Refiners, making it highly coveted all of a sudden.
Online discussions about this combat ensued.
"This is just a ’treasure’ level magical treasure, imagine if the grade of his sword were higher, he might stand a chance even against late-stage Qi Refiners!"
"This combat has consistently raised the value of magical treasures, and the status of Artifact Refiners has skyrocketed."
"To be honest, you can use magical treasures for challenges beyond your level only till the Nascent Soul Stage. Once you enter the Nascent Soul Stage, it’s a dimensional gap; powerful magical treasures can at most help you challenge higher levels within the same stage, not beyond."
"Indeed, and different high-level magical treasures have high cultivation requirements, like the Array Formation Guild’s staff, the founding Great Expert mentioned, unless you are at Foundation Establishment Stage, it would be tough to activate the Mountain Protection Array."
"It’s like casting from a magic reservoir, right? High-level magical treasures certainly require profound cultivation to match; otherwise, their powers cannot be unfolded."
The appearance of this magical treasure flying sword indeed disrupted the balance of the Martial Artist Arena channel.
Those middle-stage Qi Refiners who had fought and been eliminated by the expert from East Middle experienced unprecedentedly the terrifying power of cultivators possessing magical treasures.
This made the higher-ranking late-stage Qi Refiners in the arena more eager to obtain a suitable magical treasure to solidify their rankings.
Someone approached Sobor, the Artifact Refiner Master from East Middle who forged this flying sword, offering to buy it for 200 million US dollars!
But the offer was declined by the Royal Family of East Middle.
Because the flying sword was forged from materials provided by the old king, it belonged to the Royal family.
Although Sobor didn’t have ownership of the flying sword, his successful creation made him the president of the Artifact Refiners Guild.
A step behind, Chen Qiang, a student from Huaqing Refining Institute, also successfully forged a "treasure" level flying sword on the third day and was elected as the vice president.
Although the positions of president and vice president of the Artifact Refiners Guild were taken, it didn’t impact the global investment in the refining industry by various refineries.
Through the display by East Middle’s expert, they realized the significance of magical treasures for cultivators, highlighting the market demand for them!
Just as the market price for treasure-level magical treasures soared to 200 million US dollars, the backers of various academies were brimming with confidence, expressing their willingness to continue increasing their investments.
What some academies didn’t know was that this time the success of East Middle and Dragon Nation in forging treasure-level magical treasures depended on the materials provided by the old oil king.
Guo Chao, Deng Lu, and others, who were part of the He Offerant’s exploration team, also brought back a considerable amount of materials, which were then used by the students of Huaqing to forge successfully.
This couldn’t be hidden from the vigilant eyes of the great powers Angsa and Europe.
These groups’ desire to explore extraterrestrial planets reached a new height.
They were also eager to become Foundation Establishment Cultivators to explore more resources on planets.
However, the Pill Association provided Foundation Establishment Pills only domestically, leaving these international powers unable to purchase any.
Left with no options, the powers of Angsa and Europe turned to Daniel Liu, hoping he could convey their wishes to the boss.
For this, Daniel Liu had to make a trip to Dragon Nation to seek an audience.
But since the boss Gu Feng was busy, he could only wait to be summoned.
Daniel Liu wasn’t in a hurry; he collaborated daily with the 48 Peak Masters of the "Pangu" department at the Shantou Arena to fix bugs.
As the Arena channel for Foundation Establishment to Core Formation wasn’t crowded, they unanimously agreed that instead of competing it would be fairer to take turns in leading the rankings to receive the rewards.
This plan was approved.
Whether it was Daniel Liu, Pei Baobao, or the cultivators who had recently advanced to the Foundation Establishment Stage.
There were almost 60 people in total.
Every six days, someone could enter the top 10 and receive Spirit Stone rewards.
Otherwise, you would have to enter the arena as cannon fodder for others to earn points.
When Daniel Liu emerged from the "Foundation Establishment" Teleportation Array, the surrounding people looked at him with respect.
Now, the arena had level restrictions.
Those below Foundation Establishment could only go to the "Martial Artist" channel.
So, Daniel Liu emerging from the "Foundation Establishment" channel proved his strength.
As one of the limited combat powers globally, Qi Refinement experts were called ’Immortals’ by the citizens of various countries, let alone those in Foundation Establishment.
In the eyes of ordinary people, they were monsters who could survive without food or water and could fly out of Earth!
Daniel sat in his car, and his secretary hastily reported, "Boss, the Pill Association’s president called and asked us to come over."
Daniel Liu sighed with relief.
It meant that the boss had already agreed, allowing Roger to open up the supply of Foundation Establishment Pills to foreign powers.
His car headed towards one of the four most profitable global guilds, the Pill Association.
It was a complex of ancient buildings covering a thousand acres.
Outsiders only knew that the Array Formation Guild had Spiritual Artifacts.
In fact, the Pill Association had them too.
Located on the sacrificial altar behind the guild, the never-exploding cauldron not only could refine high-level pills but was also a magical treasure of the Pill Association.
It was also the key spiritual artifact to activate the Pill Association’s Mountain Protection Array.
The entire terrain of the Pill Association was shaped like a furnace.
Once the Mountain Protection Array was activated, any opponent in this furnace would be scorched by high-level flames!
Roger personally greeted Daniel Liu, who had come for the meeting.
A few days after Daniel Liu’s request, Gu Feng had already messaged Roger, lifting the restrictions on supplying Foundation Establishment Pills to foreign powers.
It was the next step in Gu Feng’s plan to accelerate globalization after discovering it could enhance his own strength and increase control over the universe.
Roger dared not speculate about his teacher’s thoughts and simply followed orders.
Of course, lifting restrictions did not mean giving them away for free. 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝙚𝔀𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝒐𝒎
You also had to purchase at a price just a bit cheaper than the market, asking for 50 billion US dollars!
And the two major Western factions were not allowed to resell it privately.
The price was not fixed and would change with the market.
Of course, the money did not enter the Pill Association’s treasury.
It went to whoever supplied the materials.
Currently, there were two Offerants supplying materials.
Gu Feng didn’t have time to manage these affairs personally.
And he didn’t care much about such a sum of money either, as Lin Yue usually supplied materials to her family.
Thus, this portion of income was earned by the He and Ye families.
They would seek materials in their own Star System Territories to supply the Pill Association, and after refining the pills at a certain cost and ratio, they would distribute them to foreign powers as appropriate.
After deducting the cost and the commission given to the Pill Association, the money would be deposited in the treasuries of the two major families’ descendants.
This was also a kind of industrial chain, which could potentially drive down prices in the future as more Nascent Soul experts and medicinal material suppliers emerged.
However, this project would always have a market and was considered one of the main sources of income for the future lords.
