The Sims: I Open the Immortal Path for All Beings

Chapter 1871: Chapter 1816—Chapter 1817 Purple Mansion Response Ruthless Suppression_2

Regarding the smuggling of Dragon Saliva Flower, the entire Purple Mansion Sect maintains the same stance. After all, their resources are limited, and this Dragon Saliva Flower is their most precious asset.

If these flowers were just enough for their own use, it would be different. However, there is clearly still so much left, and seeing the huge demand externally, they naturally can’t resist exchanging them for some profits. This is an inevitable result of the sect’s development needs.

Of course, there is internal debate within the Purple Mansion Sect when it comes to pricing. Some strong cultivators believe they shouldn’t be greedy and should set prices three to five times higher than those of the Heavenly Court, so as not to offend people too much.

However, another group of strong cultivators believes that this is something they possess that others don’t. The Heavenly Court sold them cheaply because they were maintaining stability by considering their rule. They aim to gain more profits, so why sell cheaply? Doubling the price is still being conscientious.

“Sounds good. I think you have no idea how expensive things like rice and firewood are. Right now, our Purple Mansion Sect has so many people, countless disciples crying for resources for cultivation, and the only real resource we can acquire is this Dragon Saliva Flower. If we sell it cheaply, what will our disciples use to cultivate?” An elder immediately rebuked angrily.

Their reasons also make sense. After all, the Purple Mansion Sect now has countless disciples, and the demand for resources is immense.

If the Purple Mansion Sect didn’t want to develop but just wanted to muddle along, it wouldn’t matter. But if they want to rise, they need more resources.

The advantage of having a sect compared to being an independent practitioner is the guidance from teachers and the provision of resources, which allows many disciples to feel a sense of belonging to the sect.

If a sect can’t even provide the resources needed by its own disciples and there are no beneficial exchanges, relying solely on promises and feelings, where would the disciples’ sense of belonging come from?

But where do these resources come from if not exchanged with Dragon Saliva Flowers?

After all, no matter how many Dragon Saliva Flowers there are, they can only be refined into Taoist Foundation Pills. Even if they have many Taoist Foundation Pills, each cultivator only uses them when breaking through the Seventh Level of the Spiritual Realm. They can’t use them from start to finish, can they?

Therefore, for the Purple Mansion Sect, it is necessary to exchange Dragon Saliva Flowers and Taoist Foundation Pills for other resources.

This isn’t something only the Purple Mansion Sect does—any immortal sect possessing special resources does the same.

“Hehe, you’re right. Now go tell those outsiders, tell the natives of the Dragon Saliva Realm; see if they’ll listen to you!” The elder who spoke first sneered scornfully.

The words are spoken, the rationale is correct, but we must see if people will listen to your words and accept your rationale.

The current result is turmoil within the Dragon Saliva Realm, where those natives are causing conflicts with us. Forces from the outside are dissatisfied with us over the price hike of Dragon Saliva Flowers and want us to give an explanation.

This incident has become quite large, causing Dragon Saliva Flowers prices to multiply across the Realms of Heavenly Seas in the Divine Land World. Especially with the surge in purchase frenzy, all parties have to make purchases, fearing there might be none left if they don’t.

This situation ultimately made many immortal sects spend double or triple the usual price to acquire Dragon Saliva Flowers, and naturally, these forces are dissatisfied.

Though buying and selling is free, both parties willingly engage in the trade, but the buyers have spent a lot more, and dissatisfaction might cause future troubles. No one can stop them from doing so.

If this was the norm, it wouldn’t matter, but now, the world is about to fall into chaos, with various forces itching for action, seemingly anticipating a great upheaval across the Chaos Void.

Offending so many people at this time, when a war arises among various forces, wouldn’t the Purple Mansion Sect become the target of many, unwittingly establishing countless enemies?

The key point is that this time they’re being unjustly blamed—this wasn’t instigated by them. They didn’t profit much from the price increase in Dragon Saliva Flowers, yet they’re being made scapegoats.

“Enough, stop arguing, what use is there in discussing these now? Let’s focus on figuring out how to resolve this matter,” the Purple Mansion Sect Master intervened coolly to halt the ongoing quarrel.

In the past, it wouldn’t matter how these people argued; the Purple Mansion Sect Master wasn’t concerned with such matters and would view it as mere amusement.

But now, at this critical juncture, instead of finding ways to resolve the issue, they’re engaged in internal strife, which truly frustrates him.

As a True Immortal, he sees more clearly than others; he knows this incident is no accident but that some big figures have targeted them, intending to use the Purple Mansion Sect as a pawn.

Regarding the worldly affairs, they have no control. Even if they hope for continued peace in the Chaos Void to secure more development time for themselves, those Imperial Honors and Taoist Monarchs are dissatisfied and wish to stir chaos, aiming to fish in troubled waters. He has no choice but to let things happen.

However, the arbitrary or unintentional selection of the Purple Mansion Sect as the starting point is something the Sect Master cannot accept.

As chaos looms, historically, the places where calamities start are inevitably engulfed in continuous war, and becoming cannon fodder isn’t unexpected.

Being merely a large immortal sect, they cannot handle such circumstances. Finding a way to extricate themselves is better.

“Ancestral Master, what should we do about this matter?” After quieting the crowd, the Purple Mansion Sect Master turned his gaze to the Purple Mansion True Monarch, seeking the True Monarch’s guidance.

Though he is the sect leader and a True Immortal, handling various affairs within the Purple Mansion Sect daily, this issue is different due to its magnitude. As a mere True Immortal, he cannot withstand it; only the Ancestral Master can decide.

Upon hearing the Master’s words, the other elders stopped talking, all turning their attention to the Purple Mansion True Monarch in the center, hoping this Ancestral Master has a solution.

This is understandable; the development of the Purple Mansion Sect to its current level is entirely thanks to the Ancestral Master. His decisive participation in the Conferred God War and subsequent proactive involvement with the Heavenly Court’s Expansion Plan led the Purple Mansion Sect to its current standing.

Even though the Ancestral Master has relinquished all matters and normally ignores worldly affairs, when a decision must be made, they trust the Ancestral Master’s judgment more. Even if the Sect Master’s decision as a True Immortal doesn’t receive the Ancestral Master’s endorsement, it likely won’t gain genuine approval from everyone.

“What is the current situation within the Dragon Saliva Realm?” The Purple Mansion True Monarch asked, inquiring about the latest developments in the Dragon Saliva Realm.

The Purple Mansion Sect Master replied, “The natives are stirring up trouble in the Dragon Saliva Realm, launching constant attacks on our sect’s outposts and burning many of the Dragon Saliva Flower plantations.”

“Dare those mere natives rebel? They truly seek death! Are the people remaining in the Dragon Saliva Realm just idle?” the Purple Mansion True Monarch asked coldly.

He is very dissatisfied with this. If these natives weren’t useful, they would have been suppressed long ago; now they dare to cause trouble—truly courting death.

“There must be someone supporting these natives, otherwise they wouldn’t dare rebel,” the Purple Mansion Sect Master said with a frown.

He doesn’t care much about these natives, but he worries about those behind the scenes. Would such tactics leave them exposed or give others more excuses?

“Humph. Since they don’t dare jump out now, then force them to show themselves,” the Purple Mansion True Monarch said dismissively. “At this moment, absolutely no weakness can be shown; otherwise, the opposition will become even more aggressive.”

The Purple Mansion True Monarch is definitely not a merciful individual; since these natives dare to disrupt, irrespective of the reasons or who supports them, he must subdue them with thunderous means.

At this critical moment, no weakness or cowardice can be shown.
