Chapter 1014: Chapter 1014
The day after India, Vietnam, the Philippines, and Myanmar declared an economic blockade on Yongfan Island, Yongfan Island directly announced online that it would hold a sales event in three months.
The content of this sales event includes the planned sale of ten thousand Ultimate Version Stabilizing Pills and ten thousand Revitalizing Pills.
To prevent hoarding by the black market, the sales event announced purchasing conditions, stating that before buying, one must apply for an entry permit through Yongfan Island's official website.
After applying for entry, Yongfan Island will provide an entry serial number. Customers will use this serial number to purchase pills at that time.
In principle, each customer can only buy one Stabilizing Pill or one Revitalizing Pill at a time.
If someone wishes to purchase two pills simultaneously, they must provide medical records, and only after Yongfan Island staff verify them, can they buy both.
Once this measure from Yongfan Island was implemented, the daily visits to its official website skyrocketed to tens of millions.
Though there are still three months until the sales event, on just the announcement day, Yongfan Island received over a hundred thousand entry applications.
Yongfan Island's official website crashed in less than three hours after this news was released.
This clearly shows how sensational the sales event at Yongfan Island is.
Be mindful that the Ultimate Version Stabilizing Pill has now surpassed gold as a valuable product; this pill has cured countless patients since its introduction. Moreover, the Huaxia Group hasn't released it for sale publicly for quite a while.
So now, this Stabilizing Pill is in a state of high demand and no supply. On the official website, the price of one Ultimate Version Stabilizing Pill has surged to eight hundred thousand US dollars.
In the black market, the price of one Ultimate Version Stabilizing Pill has soared to over two million US dollars.
There are still quite a few wealthy people in the world; a single pill can completely cure heart disease, and a few million is a price these rich people can afford.
Moreover, on Yongfan Island's official website, a Revitalizing Pill is sold for one million each.
In the black market, the price of a single Revitalizing Pill is directly five million each.
Every day, millions of people die from cancer worldwide, a terminal illness; yet, the Revitalizing Pill is the spiritual medicine that completely cures cancer.
No one can guarantee they won't get cancer, so wealthy individuals are willing to pay a high price for it, regardless of whether they have the disease.
However, despite the black market inflating prices so high, there isn't much stock available, so when Yongfan Island announced its sales event, the world's attention turned here once more.
Mainstream media across the globe reported live on this sales event at Yongfan Island, and although there are still three months to go, there are already over a hundred news media settled on the island.
For a moment, the level of attention the Yongfan Island sales event received surpassed that of the Olympics.
Yet, Vietnam, Myanmar, Japan, and the Philippines initially said they wanted to economically block Yongfan Island, but given the current situation, Yongfan Island does not need an overseas market. Wealthy people flock there; even without economic exchanges, these countries can't topple Yongfan Island.
Thus, the plan of the four countries to economically blockade Yongfan Island collapsed within a week of its formulation.
As for this sales event, besides supplying pills, Ding Fan left everything else to Hu Jin, feeling assured that the matters could be handled.
Ten thousand Ultimate Version Stabilizing Pills plus ten thousand Revitalizing Pills; this volume of pills could be managed entirely by Sun Qi. At this moment, Ye Tianshi continuously assists in the Hundred Grass Garden, speeding up the process.
Ye Tianshi's left hand was drained of flesh and blood by Ming Chen, so now he has only his right hand, but with his Heavenly Level peak cultivation, his prowess remains formidable.
Furthermore, Ye Tianshi is also a Doctor, and working alongside Sun Qi, refining these twenty thousand pills is indeed manageable.
Though this sales event appears grand, the staff within Yongfan Island were each fulfilling their duties, leaving Ding Fan with little involvement.
Given this, the passage to the Immortal Realm on Serpent Island is nearly unlocked, prompting Ding Fan to decide to take a look.
Initially, members of the Ghost Sect sealed the Immortal Sect by fixing a formation inside the Seal Stone. Later, Ding Fan removed the Light-Shielding Array within the formation using the Spatial Ring. By this time, the passage to the Immortal Sect should soon be opened.
At this moment, Ding Fan intended to first take Gusu Qingwen on a visit to the Spirit Sect.
On that day, Ruan Yuan was seriously injured by Ming Chen and subsequently went to the Spirit Sect for recovery. Considering the time passed, Ruan Yuan's injuries should be nearly healed, so Ding Fan decided to take Ruan Yuan and Gusu Qingwen to Serpent Island.
Having made up his mind, Ding Fan left a note for Hu Jin and promptly took Gusu Qingwen to set off.
Ding Fan traveled by Sword Control, and the two wasted no time, reaching the foot of Spirit Sect's mountain quickly and finally arriving at the Spirit Sect.
The journey was rather smooth.
However, just as they entered the Spirit Sect, Mei Zhi came directly to Ding Fan.
"Sect Master, you've finally returned. The Li Family of Black Mountain has been annihilated. Those who escaped from Black Mountain are now seeking refuge in our Spirit Sect."
The Li Family of Black Mountain? Annihilated?
Ding Fan, being the Hidden Sect Alliance Leader, knew he couldn't ignore that allies from the Hidden Sect Alliance were annihilated.
"Was it done by the Ghost Sect?"
Mei Zhi shook her head. "It was the Immortal Sect!"
Ding Fan was taken aback.
Next to him, Gusu Qingwen's eyes widened immediately. "Are you saying the passage to the Immortal Sect has already opened?" Thɪs chapter is updated by 𝔫𝔬𝔳𝔢𝔩~𝕗𝕚𝕣𝕖~𝙣𝙚𝙩
Mei Zhi nodded. "A week ago, the passage to the Immortal Sect was opened, and once it was opened, the first thing the Immortal Sect did was directly annihilate the people of the Black Mountain Li Family."
Gusu Qingwen pondered for a moment. To annihilate an entire clan, the method is indeed ruthless enough. It's very reminiscent of the Ghost Sect's methods.
"Mei Zhi, could there be a misunderstanding here...?"
Mei Zhi shook her head. "Now the people who escaped from the Black Mountain Li Family are still taking refuge in our Spirit Sect..."
"Take me to see them," Ding Fan said.
Mei Zhi nodded, taking the lead immediately, and the group directly headed towards the back mountain of the Spirit Sect. In no time, they arrived at a courtyard.
"Sister Mei Zhi, you've come..." Just as the group reached the courtyard entrance, a young and beautiful girl came out to greet them from inside.
This girl's age seemed to be at most only around twenty years old.
"Sect Master, this is Li Duoer, the sole daughter of the Li Family's head from Black Mountain..." After the introductions, Mei Zhi then spoke to Li Duoer. "Duoer, our Sect Master has returned. It's best if you explain the situation with the Black Mountain Li Family to him."
Upon hearing that the visitors included the Spirit Sect Sect Master, Li Duoer obediently approached Ding Fan and then knelt down immediately.
"Li Duoer of the Black Mountain Li Family beseeches the Spirit Sect Sect Master to avenge the Black Mountain Li Family..." As Li Duoer spoke, tears flowed down her face.
"What exactly happened?" Ding Fan gently lifted his right hand.
A surge of True Qi directly lifted Li Duoer from the ground.
Li Duoer was slightly astonished; this was practically a skill to retrieve objects from a distance. However, knowing the other party was the Spirit Sect Sect Master, she didn't appear too surprised.
After all, he was part of the Three Hidden Sects, and it was logical for him to have impressive cultivation.
"Reporting to Sect Master. That day, we were practicing skills at home, and then the people from the Immortal Sect came directly. Without a word, they annihilated our Li Family and took away our Soul Calming Pearl..." Li Duoer said.
"There's no reason for the Immortal Sect to act so ruthlessly," Gusu Qingwen frowned deeply.
"I escaped from death because everyone in the Li Family fought desperately to get me out. Do you think I could possibly deceive you?" Li Duoer argued.
Gusu Qingwen's expression grew serious.
The Immortal Sect was where Gusu Qingwen had grown up, and it was hard for her to believe that the Ghost Sect could commit such an act.
"Qingwen, why don't you head back? The passage is already open. Regardless of the true situation, you'll understand the matter upon returning," Ding Fan suggested.
Gusu Qingwen nodded. "Alright. I'll head back now."
Desperate to restore the Immortal Sect's reputation, Gusu Qingwen instantly turned around, leaving the group and walking away.
"Gusu Qingwen..." Mei Zhi saw her leaving and wanted to hold her back, but Ding Fan gestured for her not to pursue.
"Duoer, is it just you left from the Li Family?" Ding Fan asked.
Li Duoer's eyes were red, and she nodded somewhat reproachfully.
"Do you have any plans from now on?" Ding Fan inquired.
"When I fled Black Mountain, my father told me that after informing the Spirit Sect, I should go to Liyi city, where I have a distant uncle. My father helped him a lot before, and he left a letter for my uncle to look after me," Li Duoer explained. "I have already delivered the letter, so now I must go to Liyi city."
Ding Fan pondered for a moment, then said, "I don't have anything to do anyway, so why don't Mei Zhi and I accompany you to Liyi city?"
The entire Black Mountain clan had been wiped out, leaving only Li Duoer. No matter what, Ding Fan couldn't let anything happen to her.
The reason for having Mei Zhi accompany them was for Ding Fan's own reasons.
Considering Ding Fan and Li Duoer were similarly aged, escorting her alone wouldn't be appropriate or convenient. With Mei Zhi along, it was much more convenient.
"Sure... Thank you, Sect Master," Li Duoer responded to Ding Fan.
Li Duoer seemed eager to depart, and as Ding Fan had no pressing matters, he packed up with Mei Zhi and headed down the mountain with Li Duoer directly.
Once they descended, the trio went to a nearby city, from where they took a train to Liyi city.
The journey went smoothly, and after a night's travel, they arrived in Liyi city.
Upon reaching Liyi city, Li Duoer followed the address her father left and immediately sought out her uncle, and the three hired a taxi.
Eventually, they were dropped off at the bottom of an office building.
Getting out of the car, Ding Fan looked at the building with the words Mingyang Group prominently displayed.
Ding Fan found himself vaguely familiar with this Mingyang Group. After thinking back briefly, Ding Fan recalled.
Previously, Hu Jin had mentioned that after the Huaxia Group moved out of the mainland, they needed some proxy companies, and one of the bidders seemed to be this Mingyang Group...
